Rich Indians.

The Navajo tribe of Indians, To- cated on a reservation in North western New Mexico, are becoming wealthy in herds and focks. The tribe now own 245,OOO; horses and ponies mules, 800; cattle, $500; sheep, S00,000; goats, 5OO,OO0; bur ros, 800. Some of the Indians, it is said are exchanging their horses for cattle, which will largely in- crease their holdings of the latter kind. The last wool clip amounted to 100000 pounds and besides they sold 30O,0O0 sheep pelts and 100000 goat skins. When it is con- sidered.that there are but (, 300 males over IS years of age, it is evident that these Indians instead of be- ing poor are pretty we'll off, at least in this worlds goods. It is claim ed by the Indian office that the Navajoes are we'll on the road to civilization, and that never in their history have they approached so near the degree of prosperity that surrounds them to-day.-Albuquer- que Citizen.

A WASHINGTON dispatch says it was ascertained at the Pension Bu- reau that the Commissioner had re- ceived telegrams from the United States Pension Agents at Augusta, Me. Topeka, Kan. Detroit, Mich. {; Boston. Mass, and New York City, that the funds with which to pay army pensions were exhausted, and that no further payments of pen sions could be made until after July 1. Mir. Bell, the Chief of the Agents Division, said that all of the other twelve agents would prob ably be out of money in few days, but that the soldiers and their de- pendents would only have to wait for a few days for their money, as it was the intention of the Com missioner to have ample funds with which to pay all outstanding vouch- CTS telegraped to each of the agents not later than July ?.

Their Bright Side.

In ordinary times we are Yan- kees and New Workers and Pennsyl- vanians, Westerners and Southern CTS and Pacific Coast folks, and we have our local interests and preoc- equations and prejudices; and we have our time honored jokes at one another's expense; and now and then we get cross and say ugly things (which we don't half mean) about one another. And foreign observers who don't know us draw incorrect differences, after their kind. Then an extraordinary time comes along. The pestilence gets into an American city, or the fire consumes it, or the flood overwhelms 1t, or the earthquake shatters 1t. Presto, change! The foreign observers rub their eyes ;n astonishment. Of the sectionalism-real or make be- lieve of the day before no trace is left. There is no longer any North or South. East or West, but instead the one great common country, thrilled from end to end with sym pathy, busy from end to end with projects of help and succor. That is the bright side ofthese calamities. They bring out as nothing else could, the real unity and solidarity of the American people.--Hartford Courant.

\ Natural Bridge.

In tie Mogollon mountains, on Pine creek, a tributary of the East Fork of the Verde, there exists a natural bridge which report says is interesting. The waters of Pine creek flow under this bridge, the eastern abutnlent of which is an inaccessible mountain A spring of water feeds an irrigating ditch that waters a garden on top of the bridge. Water has for ages per colated through the roof of this arch and deposited carbonate of lime in stalactites which have assumed gro- tesque and interesting forms. The bridge is six miles off the road from Camp Verde to Camp Apache, thir- ty-fve miles from the former, and, like Jordan, is a hard road to travel" l" -EY

the above principles. But then WASH
