Knowledge and Language.

Volume XII. of Aldens Manifold Cyclopedia is now issued A careful inspection, prompted in part by de- sire to satisfy ourselves, and partly in order that we might keep our readers correctly informed, convinces us that all the strong commentators which have been bestowed upon previous volumes is in equal measures due to this. It is. of course, published in the same handy form and is just as con venient to use as it's predecessors. This is no small matter, as all who have had occasion to consult the un- wieldy volumes in which cyclopedias usually appear can testify. Passing to the contents of the book we find the same thoroughness and fidelity which has characterized the previous issues The broad field has been care fully gleaned. The results of long continued investigation are presentin an attractive and available form. Open it where you will, the book offers rich treasures of knowledge. This volume takes the work from Dominis to Elec- tric Clock. Among the articles treated at more or less length we notice the following: Dormant Vitality, pages {; Drainage Gin Agricultural, about 5 pages; Drama, over 10 pages; Dyeing, pages; Dye-Stutfs, about , pages i; Ear, 9 pages; Earthquake, 4 pages i; Easter, 3 pages; Eclipse, 9 pages; Ed
 ucation Gncluding Military, State and National, with valuable atistics), AT pages; and Egypt, nearly 24 pages. Electrical Units, over a page, em- braces the nomenclature recently made by leading scientists and is here first published in a Cyclopedia. This work is Dictionary as we'll as a Cyclopedia-a fact which adds greatly to its other merits. It seems almost incredible that such work eau be sold for 90 cents volume i'll good cloth binding, or 65 cents in half Morocco, with 10 cents additional for postage, but that is all that is asked. A specimen volume may be ordered and returned if not satisfactory. John B. Alden, Publisher, New York, Chica- go, San Francisco and Toronto.

THE PARTICULARS
Of the Attack Made on Mir. D. T. Elmore,
 of the Owl Heads, on Last Thursday.

Mir. D. T. Elmore arrived at noon to-day from the Owl Head camp, and was looked up by the reporter, who was seeking the particulars of the at tack made on him by three men last Thursday. The attack was made about one and half miles from the mlne, on the road to the mill and within fifty feet of the Eagle mining shaft which is 70 feet deep. Mir. FL more feels sure that the intention of the highwaymen was to kill and throw inn inT0 the shalt and take the team. The first he knew of trouble was a masked man stepping into the road in front of his team. About the same time another man came up to his right and one on the left The man on the right had pistol and the one on the left was throwing rocks at him. He struck the man on the right two licks over the head with his whip, and thinks in doing so moved his mask so as to blind him, as he made no fight after striking MT. Elmore one blow on the arm wish his pistol. Mir. Elmore laid whip to his horses and the man who held the reins in front was dragg- ed about fifty feet, when he came in contact with black cactus and lost his hold and the buggy ran over him. In the meantime the man with the rocks was pelting away and struck Mir. Elmore on the back of the head, which was not serious though it bled freely.
 When MT. Elmore got one hundred yards away he stopped and looked back and saw the two leading the man away who had been ran over by the buggy. A pistol was fired by one of the men but without effect.
 There is no doubt that the three men were the same that had been camping in the mountain near the mines for over week and who had by their seclusion already aroused sus- picion.
 They are described as being two short, black, Mexicans and man bearing all the features of German, short, stubby, sandy beard, brown eyes, talks Spanish well and broken English, about 5 feet 9 inches high. Two masks were picked up afterwards at the scene of the attack.
 The whole force at the mill and the mines, about twenty men, turned out and secured the country, but nc trace of the would-be-murderers had been obtained up to yesterday, when the last of the searchers returned to camp. The attack was made about eleven o'clock in the day time MT Fillmore has offered reward of $20( each for the arrest of his assailants.- Citizen.

Timber Culture Act Ruling.

A recent decision of the Secretary of the Interior liberalizes the Timber Culture Act to an extent hitherto un- known. Heretofore the rulings of the department have excluded all land from timber culture settlements upon which more than 50 trees stood, the department taking no note of the size of the timber, its kind or quality. Under to-day's rulings entrymen may take up under the tim Der culture act any quarter section upon which timber has no commercial value or upon which trees are not nu- merous enough to warrant the sale of land for it's timber This ruling will greatly relieve timber culture settlers and mak it much easier to acquire land under this act, as all growing trees are to be counted in consideration of the entryman's compliance with the law whether he planted them or not

AN OPEN QUESTION.
T. Harrison . ps.esad.-. of roc.Aon.s

Is Harrison . Desceadaa4 of PocAhontasf
 It is popularly believed that President Harrison is descended from Pocahontas snd from the Parliamentary soldier and regicide, General Thomas Harrison, who was executed in 1869.
 Pocahcntas, daughter of Powhatan, manifested friendiiness for the early white settlers of Virginia when she was but girl The story of how she saved the life of Captain John Smith, who had been captured and condemned to death by her father-how she, on several oc- easions, made known to the settlers their langer when about to be attacked-is we'll known to all acquainted with the early history of America. Her subse- quent marriage with John Rolfe, an Englishman-her removal to England where & son vas born, from whom nu- merous wealthy families of Virginia claim descent-is the basis of the opinion that President Harrison is one of her descen- dRnts.
 Whether this be true or not it is, how ever, well-know that President Harrison Is descendant of 6 noted family distin- guished alike in peace and war. The name of Harrison is already indelibly written upon the pages of American his tory, for General Wm. Henry Harrison the ninth President of the United States was the grandfather of Gen. Ben. Har- rison.
 The election of another member of the Harrison family is but another proof of the prevailing disposition of the public to return to healthy administration of pub lie affairs so characteristic of the earlier years of government. A similar desire | aA for raufuol Of AorIxy manners and customs in many various ways, of which mention in particular can he made of the prevailing demand for those oid-time preparations which were su successfully employed in the preven- ton and cure of the ills and ailments which frequented the early log-csbin homes.
 After much inquiry and research s noted manufacturer has procured the original methods used in their prepara- ton and again under the name of War ner's Log Cabin Remedies, the public is possessed of those well-known prepara- tions for the cure of coughs, colds, con- sumption in it's early stages, blood dis orders, catarrh, dyspepsia, debility, and other common disorders.
 Notwithstanding the large amount oi time, attention and expense which the manufacturer of Warmers Safe Cure de mands-its we'll known reputation as the only remedy for the prevention and cure of kidney diseases being world wide-the manufacturer is resolved to push the merit of Warmers Log Cabin Sarsapa r;lla to the front berause of it's splendid blood purifying properties and great value as household remedy and spring time system renovator.
 Pocahontos, during her lifelong friend ship for the white settlers of Virginia besides her many acts of kindness, il said to have contributed much valuable information to the log cabin home con corning the successful methods employed by the Indians in the treatment of dis ease and it matters little whether the al legged relationship between herself ant the President be true or not for the nam, ef Pocshon.as Is already immortal.

Paymaster wha1n Robbed.

While going from Fort Grant to Fort Thomas, in Graham county, un- der an escort of eleven soldiers, last Saturday, Paymaster J. w. Wham was ambushed by twelve highwaymen in a cut of the road six miles from Cedar Springs and fifteen miles from Fort Thomas and, after brief fight in which eight of the escort were wounded, they took the treasure box containing $29,000 and escaped. One of the robbers was evidently wounded. as a trail of blood marked their course They had strongly entrenchcd them selves behind the rocks and had rolled a huge boulder into the road to stop the ambulance.
 The robbers started towards the Mexican frontier and are being fol- lowed by seventeen hundred soldiers and Indians, but with little chance of capturing the criminals.
 The government has offered @ re- ward of $500 for the apprehension Of each of the robbers and Governor Wolf ley has offered like reward on be- half of the Territory.

Number Che.

The Paymaster robber described as No. 1, is a we'll known character about Tombstone. We believe his name is Beck. He served term in the coun- ty jail and made threats against Sher- if Slaughter's life, which caused the sheriff to hunt him up and order him out of town. The sheriff found him in the Crystal Palace saloon and trouble seemed imminent but was avoided by the man taking water and leaving town next day. The descrip- ton of this man tallies precisely with the description of the robber, and as he has been known to be in Graham county, where he has the reputation of being hard case, there is scarcely any doubt but he is the man.-Pros pector.
