1 SIT on the glacis, muslngly, ell
these and other happy memories OF
tie bygone season come over me, and
| am startled by sudden genuine
Apache war-cry on the ramparts over
my head, and here, behind me, come
two braves IN war paint, or dress,
bearing on their heads a fantastic
wood arrangement resembling horns,
their faces covered a Ia Ku.klux with
a yellow veil, and dress OF same stuff,
slashed with dark red. belted with
cleaning metal. They trot along, and
suddenly wheeling round several times
and shaking a noise OF bells, they give
the war cry, whichis taken up by their
friends inside the w9lls, and the shrill-
ing yell floats over IN strange contrast
to the quiet scene. These Apaches
were only captured a few weeks ago
and brought directly to this place OF
imprisonment; they are a part OF Ger
onlmo's band, who Is now raiding ID
Mexico and the Arizona border, in re-
venge for their supposed death. The
Oldest chief, Mana, is apparently 20
years Of age, a villainous-featured old
wretch, but owing to his good conduct
| and sense OF honor in keeping his
word, the government substituted
Chihuahua. Heis about 45 or 50years
old, and has a-well, for an Indi-
an, g. good face. Already he has
learned to politely doff his slouch hat,
and adopted uniform. The squaws
are the iolliest set imaginable; they
come to get water from the well out
side the fort, and / noticed ones per-
| plexity early one morning, and went
and made signs and showed her how
| to work the handle. They all have
| money, and most of them wear rosa
| ries as necklaces. 1t was interesting,
when the tide was out, to see how wsoon
| the sQuaws and girls set about hunting
shells, which duly appeared as neck
laces. Mana has two wives, but ex-
| Cuses himself on the ground that he
| only likes one. The squaws carry the
| babies, or papooses, strapped in
| wooden frames, taking them out oc-
| casionally to pull the limbs straight.
A baby is helpless object in a cradle,
| but in this impromptu cage on it's
mothers back it is simply ludicrous.
| | noticed Jars OF clay for carrying
water. These are attached to straps
and borne on the back, the strap or
| band stretched across the forehead
My gracious but for pure, simple filth
| and vermin commend me to an Indian.
The sQuaws perform the friendly Office
OF carbolic SOAP for each other, sitting
on the side OF the moat in early morn

indicated when Lieut.. Richards

in any sort OF craft on any water.

Two Boys IN East St. Louis Charged with

During the past two months re-

burn down the National Stock Yards

started by thei eincendiaries caused con-
damage TO the pens and

We only feel that faith is life,
And death is the fear OF death,
When we suffer up to the solemn heights
OF a true and living faith
When we do not say that the dead shall rise
At the resurTectiou-caN;
But when We trust in the Lord, aud know
That We cannot die at all.

The eHreaf kIair.

Chicago, the commercial city of the
northwest, has again been selected as the
place for holding the great Agricultural
and Industrial fair of the state of Illinois,
and the time has been appointed for Sep
TENDER 6-10, 1886.
The liberal premiums offered, and the
advantages to exhibitors of meeting the
large crowds of visitors that attend this
fair from Illinois, Indiana, Michigan,
Wisconsin, Iowa and elsewhere, have
conduced TO make the extent and charac
ter of this fair second to none The
business men of Chicago and the officers
of the railroads having connection with
Chicago have succeeded to al eminent
degree in their determination to make
this fair the largest aud most attractive
on the continent to admirers Of fine
stock, improved machinery, the best
specimens of farm products. the beauties
of art, ornamental and useful work in the
textile department, as well as the tempt
ing culinary luxuries and necessities of
life.
The demand for space for the exhibi-
ton at the coming State fair of the i'm
proved breeds of live stock, and almost
every conceivable article Of utility or
beauty, for the use or comfort of man
kind, leaves no room to doubt that the
collection will be the largest aud most
creditable ever displayed at any former
fair.
Chicago is noted for great enterprises.
and the coming State fair promises to
surpass all former efforts in this direc,
ton.

The big Pittsburg went south this af,
ternoon.
The Morton will be up tonight.
The Libbie Conger is booked for St.
Paul Monday and the Sidney for st.
LOUIS the same day.
This is the story they tell of how the
steamer St. Paul made her last trip on
time, notwithstanding the low water:
She arrived at st. Paul on time, but it re
9uired work and good management to
achieve this success When she reached
shoal crossing near. Beef Slough, she
landed at the bank and unloaded band
of horses which she was taking to st.
Paul, and they were led on the bank OF
| the river ami taken on again when the
shallow water had been passed When
she reached Rolling Stone crossing, an,
other low passage in the river near st
Paul city, the horses were led back aft
and all the passengers gathered near tbs
tern of the boat. This raised the bow,
and the boat went ahead stoEg on both
wheels Before the stern had chance te
drag. the horses and passengers were
rushed forward and the boat shot like an
arrow over the bar which had DELAYED
many of the packets.
In giving the stage of the river during
the season, the expression continually
occurs, that the river is SO many feet
above low water mark and some of
our readers may not understand the true
scope of the term. This base line or low
water mark was established by the gov
ernment, and the low water mark con-
stantly referred to is based upon the
low water of 1864 The river was very
low that year, and notably 50 at the time
of the government surveys, and a per-
manent record was made of the depth of
the channel at different locations the en-
tire length of the river 1t was a foot and
half lower that year in August than
now. and none of the packets went furth-
CT north than Davenport. 1t was the last
year of the war and many remember the
low stage of water was serious hin
drance to the transportation of troops
and supplies in the west, though tue Ten
nessee and Cumberland rivers kept up a
fair navigation stage aud were of great
use TO the government.

understood that Mr.. John T. Kenworthy

in regard to the nomination Of a state
senator, but this important position must
not be left vacant. While the district is
strongly republican, still there is posi-
bility of electing democratic senator

of congressman, and any gentleman
should feel complimented in being chosen
as nominee for the position. Rock Is
