The Indian Way.

Harry Carpenter was telling me
 an Indian story the other day that
 we'll illustrates one of the peculiari-
 ties of the Indian character. Nearly
 all your readers will remember ofthe
 sentencing to Yuma about two
 months ago of the brave Apaches
 who murdered Ed. Baker in the Sierra Ancha mountains last July. About two weeks ago three Apache
 bucks, with passes from the com manding officer at the reservation, arrived in Yuma. They made their way to the prisor, and by signs made known to Captain Ingalls, that they wanted to talk. An in- terpreter was secured, when it was learned they wanted to visit their imprisoned brethren. They were brought out and a conference en- sued in Indian style. All seated themselves upon the ground. One would talk a while, then all would be still long time, when presently another would talk. In this way several hours were spent. Finally all arose and proceeded to Captain Ingalls,. when they made known through the interpreter that they wanted a furlough for one of the prisoners to visit home so he could see his family and have hunting trip. Allthree of the visitors offer ed themselves as hostage for his faithful return, but the prison rules are memorable and the Captain could not accept their terms. After another conference they sorrowful- ly left the place.
 There is no question but their pledges would have been faithfully kept, and that after his hunting trip was over the prisoner would have to again take up his cell and allow the hostages to go free Phoenix Republican.

After the RenegadeS.

From MT. Baker who arrived on
 Sunday from the scene of the re- cent fight in which Bridges and
 Robinson lost their lives, the infor-
 nation is gleaned that Lieutenant Burkhalter of Bowie with twenty cavalrymen reached the scene of the killing on Tuesday and took the trail. Two of Slaughter's men from San Bernardino went with them and no Indian scouts were allowed with the party. Their intention was to cross the line if the trail led them that way. They had been out six days when Mir. Baker started for Tombstone and nothing had been heard from them. It is presumed that they are on the trail and CO., operating with the Mexican troops. The law which governs the crossing of the line by troops of either coun- try stipulates that no more than two Indian scouts shall cross with the troops and that these shall car " no arms. Under these conditions it is stated that scouts will not work and consequently the first pursuit of renegades without Indian trail CTS was assigned to Lieutenant Burkhalter and with two friends of the murdered men at their head, the command may be successful ir ac- complaining some good. All per sons who are familiar with the h. dian situation along the border scout the idea that the five Apaches seen at Miller's are the same ones that did the killing near the San Bernardino ranch.
 Sheriff Slaughter does not share Tn the belief of many persons re- garding Lieut.. Clark's apathy in hunting the renegades, but on the contrary pays that officer the com pliment of calling him the mostin- defatigable worker that he has ever met along the line.-Tombstone Prospector.

To Be Settled at Last.

The acts of the 18th Legislature are to be finally passed upon by the U. s. Supreme Court.
 This result from proceeding in the U. s. Court this morning when the four San Carlos colored troops were arraingned for the murder of their comrade Fleming in 1889.
 Owing to the uncertainty as to whether or not the pigeon-holed grand jury law of the 18th Legisla- ture is a law, requiring not less than IT, no more than 23 persons to serve as a grand jury, instead of the law as it appears in the'revised code" which provides for 15-to serve as a grand jury; and as Wm. M. Lowell and o. T. Rouse, attorneys for the four prisoners, thereupon signifed their intention in open court to immediately sue out writ of habeas corpus from the Su- preme Court of the United States, to test the question of the legality of a grand jury composed of 15 members under the old law, in the case of Jefferson Wilson, one of the four who was convicted of the murder at the last term of court and is now under sentence of death; it was determinad by the Court and the U. s, Attorney that it would be better to await the de- cision of the U. s. Supreme Court on this question, which will proba- ply result within the next 30 days than to go on with the trial now pending.
 The trial jury was accordingly discharged.
 By this proceeding not only the grand jury law, but the Sunday Rest statute and all acts passed af- ter March 21st, 1889, will be finally sustained or set aside.-Phenix Herald,

Mental Strain.

Mental exertion of any kind is something that tires the average African, and writing a letter just breaks him up. Colonel Yerger has a negro man named Sam employed about the place, and the other day Sam wanted some clerical work done He said:
 Boss, I want yer ter write me a letter to my gal in Waco"
 "All right, Sam, I'll do it."
 Has yer got de paper an de ink an de pen ready dar?"
 "Yes, Sam, go ahead"
 "Write Austin, Texas"
 "All right"
 "Has got hit writ?.'
 "Yes."
 "All of hit?"
 Certainly"
 "What has yer got written2 Read it to me, boss"
 Austin, Texas"
 "Dat's right. Now write June de fourteens."
 "All right, Sam"
 "Has yer got it down already?" "Yes,"
 "G'way, boss. You're jokin. Read it to me-"
 "June fourteenth"
 "Foah God, you has got hit down all right. Now, boss. read it all ober from de berry beginnin'."
 "Austin, Texas, June 14th." "Dat's right. Whew I say, boss, les' res' awhile. Tse tired. My head aches like it was gwine to split. ."- Pioche Record.

It is known that. pelagic animals lie. those living ont he highseas-by day descend below the surface, ris- ing at night. Groom and Loob think that this daily migration of these animals is due to heliotrop- ism. In the daytime this is nega- tive, the strong light driving them from the surface; while at night it exercises positive action, causing them to seek the surface waters. Their observations show that light and not heat, is the exciting cause. New York Independent.

Advantage is to be taken of the height of the Eiffel Tower to fix in it a manometric tube in which mer- cury can be poured to form a col umn that will give a pressure of four hundred atmospheres. M. Cailletet hopes to be able to make use of this enormous pressure in continuing his experiments on the liquefaction of gases.

Dr. G. Meyer thinks that he is able to assume, from a comparison of the records of a number of years, that the moon has an influence in lowering the height of the barome- ter in the months from September to January, at the time of full moon. ,.and in raising it during the first quarter. His views are con- frmed by the independent studies of Captain Seemann, of the Deuts- che Seewarte. No effect has been perceived in the other months.- Popular Science Monthly.

A writer in Science says that while as yet we have discovered no way of avoiding contagion which comes to us in the air, we are just beginning to find out the extreme ly important fact that the air does not become contaminated with bac. teria unless they are allowed to dry. Recent investigations, he adds, have shown a smaller number of bacteria in the air of a well-kept sewer than in that of poorly-yen- tilated school-room.

To prohibit by legislation scien- tifc experiment by means of vivi- section would be practically to ar rest the progress of medicine and surgery, and compel the doctors to limit their investigation and dis covery by such imperfect know ledge as could be obtained by ob- servation, and the very unsatisfac- tory experiment possible upon hu- man beings. An effort to prevent the use of the lower animals for the purpose of securing greater skill in bettering the conditions of human life is a false philanthropy and in direct opposition to the broad prin- ciples of humanitarianism. - h. dianapolis News.

ShOrt-LiVed Beauty.

The woman who IS pretty IS fal
 too liable to think that that is en-
 ough she will conquer her kingdom
 by means of 1t; and when the day
 of reckoning, the day of fading
 comes, the kingdom will be already hers by right of possession. Indeed
 she does not consider the day of
 fading; it is something as difficult
 for her to realize as death itself is
 to the young; it is far off, vague, all
 but impossible; how is she ever go- ing to look other than she does
 now, and still be herself? And at
 any rate there are always the means
 to make the repairs of beauty, and
 sufficient unto the day is the evil
 thereof. And so, in an average of more than half the instances, she
 goes dancing off about her pleasure like fly in the sun, as full of the
 present, as careless of the future;
 she makes no preparations for the
 impending fate which is sure to come to her if she live long enough; 1;
 she relies on her fair face, her dim ples, her blushes, her radiance, her
 smiles, her glances, her sweetness.
 To please, to attract, to marry, to
 marry we'll, is the mark she has set
 before her; and it does not need
 cultivation of the sterner virtues
 for that; the sterner virtues are not greatly called into account in this
 quest, have little opportunity of as- serting themselves, or even of being
 missed. Nor is great intellectual
 cultivation in the scheme of our pretty woman's life; according to
 her plan of action it is entirely un- necessary. Who cares for syllo-
 gisms, lectures, instructions, she unconsciously argues from rosy
 lips? Who will stop to ask if the bright eyes have dulled themselves
 over dry pages of scholastic lore? Let who will be learned, it IS en- ough for her to be gay and happy. What, then, has our pretty creature left for the dim passages of middle age, when beauty has fallen away, but there still is left the desire to
 hold captive what once beauty gain ed? Let the pretty girl remember that in the darkness of that middle passage the beauty that she had be- fore she entered it will not signify all faces are in the dark together then, the girl that was plain with the girl that was beautiful; the wreck of beauty signifies then no more than the wreck of what never was beauty. It is the sweet voice, the kindly manner, the burden of what is said, the tender-hearted- ness of what is done, that tells with any effect then. It will not be long before she arrives at this time, which, in comparison to the blaze of youth, neighbors close on the dark; and she will need then all with which she can have filled her intellect and fed her soul, all that wit and virtue and breeding can have given her, in order to retain anything of that kingdom to which | in the early days she felt herself born by right divine.-Harper's | Bazaar.

 the formation of grand juries unti
 action could be had by the U. s
 Supreme Court. The entire pane
 of U. s. trial jurors was discharged
 and the administering of public Justice thus brought to a standstill
 In Yavapia county to-day a fellow
 being is being tried for bis life under
 an indictment found by a grand
 jury formed under the old law, and
 in Maricopa county a grand jury formed under the new law has just adjourned which found an indict- ment against fellow-man for mur- der. Chief Justice Gooding acts under the old law and Judge Kib- bey under the new law. The admin istration of public justice in Mari copa is different from that of Yav- apai. What a parody on justice? Who is to blame for this chaotic condition? To the tax payers and law-abiding citizens of Arizona this anarchist condition of public affairs is disgusting and an. outraged sense of public indignation Is only slum- bering. The peoples wrath is like ly to break out and demand that conspirators against the peace and order of society be brought to bay. Temples of justice are not erected, judges appointed and the intricate and costly paraphernalia for the administration of justice patiently maintained by the overburdened and tax ridden people to answer the ends of scheming politicians, the people demand to know what is the law of the territory. In the name of an honest and fearless ad- ministration of public justice they demand it. They are not and nev- CT will be content with the hollow mockery and special pleadings of demurrers, pleas of abatements and such-raised 10 answer the selfish ends of freebooter, small fry politi- cians, who are seeking food at the public crib, and for others, trying to escape the grasp of the strong arm of the law for crimes and wrongs done. Justice is not always swift. Sometimes her steps are re- tarded and slow, but they are ever certain, and sooner or later she overtakes her victims. The politi- cal crime instigated by Clark Churchill, and perpetrated by the holdover 10th Legislature has brought crop of evils in it's trail both costly and disgraceful to the people of Arizona. Our faith now is that within the next thirty days the iniquities in all of its devious and detailed ways of this political crime will be fully exposed. Then law and order will be restored and Illegal confusion" ended.-Gazette,

SeltZer for Eurns.

A man whose hand and wrist had been
badly burned walked into downtown drug
store the other afternoon and asked the drug
gist for lotion to assuage the pain. The
man of drugs seized siphon of settler water
and directing the sufferer to hold his hand
and arm over the wash basin allowed the con-
tents of the bottle to flow slowly over the
affected parts. In a moment or two the man
declared that the pain had vanished, after
which a soothing or healing lotion was ap-
piled and the injured parts bandaged. Then
the man walked away saying that he felt no
inconvenience whatever.
"Thats something new in the way of treat
ing burns, said the druggist after the Gus

Eaten Almost EVERYTHING.

In a recent interview Col Pat. DOMAIN.
the Dakotan says: II have eaten with the
Chinese in China, have eaten with the presi-
dent of the United States in the White House.
L have eaten with nearly every nation on
earth. In many cases don't know what have
eaten, for have always regarded it as bad
taste to ask questions about the dishes that
are provided IN your honor by hospitable
people.
''ln China l may have eaten rats, but l
didn't know it; and what you don't know
does you no harm. When the Sioux want to
do you honor they will serve you I'D roast
dog. In Spanish Honduras the dish of honor
is baked monkey, and sweeter meat you could
not imagine. These monkeys live up in the
branches of trees and on the vines; their feet
never touch the earth beneath them, and
they live on the choicest nuts and fruit. No
chicken was ever so sweet and tender as a
baked monkey.
II do confess, though, that on one of the
last occasions Of my dining in Spanish Hon
duras did not feel that all was well when
at the end Of the meal found | had stuffed
myself with baked lizard. OF course there
is nothing wrong with the lizard except our
petty prejudices. It tasted splendidly but

claw of til lizard didn't think liked IT,

Known by His Ears.

After all it seems that there is no feature
quito like the ear to establish identity, You
may know man by his ears, when you can
not distinguish him by his nose or his eyes.
Better yet in his make up a man may change
his other features quite beyond recognition,
but he can not conceal his ear mark. That is
somewhat after the purport of the ancient
fable Other features also modify with
mans growth, but the ear remains faithful
to heredity. Taking his cue by this, a famous
police captain urges that photographs oil
criminals be taken, not with front view, but
from the side, giving full view of tho ear.
"a mouth will fall in, am eye will sink, q
nose grow projecting, brow grow promi'
nent, a cheek baggy, chin pointed, but an
ear always remains unchanged into Old age
and no two ears are alike; SO that thlel
would be known by his ears as long as there
is ANYTHING left of him. Ii he clips his ears
he will still be marked as thie1.-Globe'
