WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-Gen. McCook
telegraphs the War Department from
Fort Bowie, Ariz., that the reports OF
Indian troubles in Arizona are without
foundation as far as he can learn. The
report that Maj. Downing was killed
by Indians, he says, cannot be con
firmed. A man by the name of Daniels
he reports, was murdered, but The re
port of the Coroner's Jury showed tha
it was not the work of Indians.

are superior to heir lords IN intelligence

than he is to misuse her.
In the markets where farm products are

desires to change his place Of residence, he
is not allowed TO settle in another village

why He studied Law.

One of the members Of the New York
senate, who has passed through good
many experiences during his lifetime, was
in his younger days trackwalker on a
New England railroad. teach end Of his
route was a small station. The only per-
sons to watch him were in these neighbor-
hoods. Pat Dit is needless to say he was an
Irishman) lived IN "a small house beside the
track, about half a mile from one Of these
stations.
He was the fortunate owner of an old
horse and wagon. This is what led to his
temptation and downfall There was a
good wagon road running parallel with the
track all theNyay.
'sPat," said the tempter, whats to him
der your riding between stationsf'
at wouldn't do, said Pat.
But the idea had taken hold Of him and
one rainy night he tried it. He left his
horse half a mile from each end Of his beat
and walked to the stations at his usual
time. Over the rest of the distance he rode
on the turnpike, trusting to luck that the
track would be all right. The thing was
so easy that it soon became a settled prac-
tice with him. For three or four months
he guarded the company's property in this
way, and no one was the wiser. Then he
was spotted and a summary discharge FOL
lowed.
"A man with your genius for lodging
work ought to be lawyer" said the SUI
perintendent.
Faith, think so meself," answered the
discharged trackWalker, and lawyer he
became.-Buffalo Express.

Morocco to Feed EnrIand.

Morocco is the natural granary Of the
British islands When 1 mentioned this
some three years ago to statesman who
has sat in many cabinets he was frankly
surprised to find that the obvious sigpih-
canoe Of the fact had been so wholly over
looked. Yet it needs no extra talent as a
prophet to suggest that fifty years hence
Che gain or loss of the vast agricultural
market in the northwest corner Of Africa
may be of unparalleled consequence to the
population of these islands.
Morocco on the western side is in nearly
the same longitude with Kerry, and is
within four days steaming Of Plymouth.
It's climate is perfect, it's rich virgin soil
almost untouched Agriculture, as we I'M
Cierstand It. is unknown. Beyond little
primitive scratching with primitive tools
whereby enough grain is extracted for the
purposes Of actual subsistence, no one in
Morocco cares 10 grow corn which he is
not allowed to export, and which is tolera-
bly, certain to be seized on by the kaid for
the benefit Of himself and his MASTER the
sultan.
If once Great Britain could obtain a con-
cession implying security to the touers,
then cheap grain enough to feed the entire
population would be at our very doors,
requiring, in fact, some two days less voy-
age than TINT from America This would
always be an advantage even in times OF
peace, and with all our usual markets open
to us.-Nineteenth Century.

man applied for the promised reward. The
eccentric old merchant looked ut him for a
moment and then said gruffly, go and
learn a trade" Considerably cast down,
for he had expected very different sort,
the young man turned away; but after
some reflection, knowing something of the
others peculiarities. he decided to do as
he had been hidden, and learned the coop

When he had mastered it year or so
later he presented himself again, and the
old man gave him an order for two barrels.
He made aud delivered them, and Mr..
Girard examined and praised them.
