 A charming surprise to the audience was the piano solo, by Professor Nor ris of Fort Huachuca, which was rem dered by special request. The gentle man is justly entitled to all the praise bestowed upon him and his reputation as a pianist is not over rated.

 It seemed but moment after the exercises were over before ths scene was transferred to Mining Exchange hall, where the ball was soon in full blast. The hall was beautifully decrO- ted with bunting and appropriate notices of evergreen. The ceiling was studded with stars of our national colors and to the music of the Hua- chuca band the dancers kept up the festivities until long past midnight.
 With the weather favorable, @ more complete success could not be record : ed, than the celebration of Washing toms birthday by the people of Tomb stone in 1891.

The Hero OfW Ounded Knee

General Forsythe, the hero of Wounded Knee, was interviewed by a Globe Democrat reporter in St. Louis last week and few additional facts rC. garding his past usefulness to his country were gleaned. The Democrat says:
 "The General has the bearing of the ideal soldier, and although a graduate of the class of 1857 at West Point, is not an old man by any means. The General was graduated in the class with Pickett. who afterward command ed Confederate forces at Gettysburg. Gen. Forsythe and Gen. Pickett, in 1859, with twenty-two men, kept a British fleet from the shores of Puget Sound. The British wanted to seize San Juan island, which was afterward awarded to the United States, the Elm peror of Germany acting as arbitrator. Gen. Forsythe said the cold was not severe at Pine Ridge Agency, and he was very cordial in his thanks to the press for it's treatment of him while his official conduct in Dakota was un. der investigation. He was much pleased with St. Louis, although he has never been stationed here. In 1871, when Gen. Phil Sheridan tray eled over Europe, studying the foreign armies, Gen. Forsythe was the only officer with him, being then in the in. fantry. The two Americans were in Paris in it's trouolous times, at the close of the Franco-Prussian war and during the reign of the commune.

MEXIcANs are more apt in taking advantage of the natural products of the soil than Americans. The mescal plant is used to make a liquor much more healthful than the corn juice used in America. The cactus is used to also make sugar, and various kinds furnish rich revenue for many States of the Mexican republic, where it is worked into fibre, which is exported to other countries to be manufactured into rope and cordage. All of these plants cover the great portion of the southwestern part of the United States In fact, so superior is the plant in Arizona to that of Mexico that car loads of the raw material is gathered in Cochise county and shipped into Mexico to be worked up.
 In the United States nothing is con- sidered worth wearing, eating or drink ing unless it has an artificial flavor or appearance. Corn is raised to make whisky, barley is raised to make beer and beets and cane are raised to make sugar. About the only natural product that we use is timber, which for house-tuilding and heating pur- poses is even giving way to paper boards for building purposes and trans parent stoves with candle inside for heating the rooms. We might we'll take few lessons from our neighbors to the south of us and utilize what nature has provided us with for the production of many of the necessaries and luxuries of life. The cry of hard times and no resources is lie and one which is not at all complimentary to the Creator who placed these natural products at our disposal.

Sent Bas k to Their Old StamD. ing Grounds, in Time to Assist in Spring Campaign of Mur- der and Piilage.

A car load of Apache Indians, who have been held as prisoners of war in Florida for the past three or four years, passed through Albuquerque early Sunday morning for Fort Winga,e, where they will be retained as plison- CTS under military guard. They are reported dying off in Flciida and a portion of the cut-throats confined in that State with Geronimo are now re-. turned to within a few miles of their old haunts. Geronimo is not with the bloody red devils that passed through to Fort Wingate. What has become of him no one knows, or at least they are rcticent upon that point.

The Storm.

The present condition of the re- suits of the great storm, which has about spent its force on the Pacific coast, is as follows:
 The Tempe bridge has been washed away and will probably not be used again for a couple of months. A tele. gram was sent to Tucson yesterday for a cable to span the river and ferry boat will be put on to transfer passer- gers and freight. The condition of the $. P. is uncertain. About fifty miles of track are under water, and whether it is washed away or still is in place can only be surmised after the water has subsided.
 The proposition is to send all ex. press and mail matter around by the A. and P. to Albuquerque and thence around to this section, but the likeli- hood is that that road has suffered from the overflow of the Little Col oraio.
 Two trains are tied up between Ril- Ito creek and Maricopa, with bad breaks on both ends. Trains are run ming out of TucsCn cast to Fl Paso, but all western traffic is suspended.
