Mike, a Yuma Indian.

Three Yuma Indians from the
 San Carlos reservation, are here as
 witness against the Halls in the
 horse stealing cases. One of these
 Indians, "Mike," a fine specimen
 physically being over six feet in
 height and weighing 1S5 pounds speaks English quite fuently and converses intelligently. From him
 We learn that Pasqual, the old chief of the Yumas, whom ye reporter knew and was not ashmed to call
 friend, twenty four years ago, is dead. When one Col. D'Artois, who afterward committed suicide Tn Sacramento, California, obtained a concession from the Mexican gov ernment and sought to force into peonage the Yumas, as grand dis play of oratory as we have listened to was the appeal of Pasqual to General Lowell, commanding at Fort Yuma, to save his people from bondage. The greater part of the tribe were then living within Mexi- can territory and D'Artois' purpose was to live like a feudal baron, SUD- ported by the labor of those h. dians. Through representations of General Lowell and R. c. McCor- mick, then delegate in congress from Arizona, D'Artois was thwart- ed in his designs. Mike has many of the characteristics of his tribe, the best disposed Indians we have ever know,-Silyer City Sentinel.

The Mohave Miner thinks that the waters of the Colorado river will be the greatest irrigator of Ari- zona. It says: "A dam in the Grand Canyon would raise the wa ters of that mighty stream high enough to be carried into every val ley in the Territory. Millions of acres of land now desert waste, could be reclaimed and made the most productive of any in the great west. The amount necessary to construct a dam across this i'm mense chasm is mere bagatelle in comparison to the increase in the values of lands to be brought un- der cultivation by the aid of this great waterway.

New Cure for HydrOphObia.

A new cure for this horrible dis ease is said to have been discovered by a certain Dr. Engels in Africa. It consists of an extracts prepared from a variety of the palm tree, which is injected under the patients skin. The immediate effect of the remedy is to cause a moderate fever. On the third day the fever subsidies, leaving the affected part free from swelling or inflammation, and on the fifth, or at the latest, the seventh day, the cure is complete. Of sixty-seven farmers lately treat ed in this way for the bites ot rab- i'd dogs, sixty-five recovered and two died of weakness. The remedy is said to be equally efficacious in the case in the bites of snakes.- London Graphic.

The United States and Chile.

The federal officials who though
 to make political capital out of tn
 Chilean incident reckoned withou
 their host. The American people are altogether too cool blooded tC get excited unless they have specia
 provocation, and Chile hasn't yet furnished provocation enough for g call on our iron-clads. We are ready to make a demonstration when occasion requires. but we want to be sure we are right before we go ahead. Some of our naval off, cers, if we may judge from the in- terviews they have accorded to the press, are becoming a little too warm for comfort. One or two of them are reported as saying that a scrimmage with Chile would not be wholly undesirable, since 1t would afford us an opportunity to test the armor on our vessels and experi- ment with our modern ordnance. If we should be called upon to lombard Valparaiso or engage with Chilean iron-clads we have little doubt that the spectacle would be both interesting and instructive. But it would be poor policy to in augurate war for that particular purpose, It is gratifying to note that MT. Harrison and his Secre- tary of State are beginning to as- sume the position which the Herald took at the start. Chile, without doubt, has been very exasperating, but when her people cool down they will discover that though we are a big nation we have no desire to bulldoze her. She is in condition of semi-anarchY just now, and more impetuous than she will be later on. We can afford to wait. There is no special hurry. We desire that the amicable relations between the two republics shall continue, and we must be magnanimous enough to hold ourselves in check until she gets her sober second thought and is ready to present her case. Chile will assuredly offer the requisite apology and accede to the indem- nity demanded when her present provisional government gives way to something more stable. In the meantime let us keep our hands off and be patient.-New York Herald.

A fall of nearly three feet ir the level of the great lakes has recently been noted. There is a recurring rise and fall of few feet running over a series of years that has been observed and measured for many years. The mean level of the lakes in 1886 was higher than in any year since 1858. In the last five years the decline has been a little greater than usual. Gen. Poe attributes it to the dry period. A wet season will quickly restore the level to the old mark. Elk.

It has been estimated by compe- tent authorities that there are more than $2,000,000 worth of derelict vessels with their cargoes floating about the Atlantic. These derelicts are dangerous obstacles, and as many of them have unsuitable car goes it is likely they will continue to float around in this irresponsible way unless destroyed by the Gov ernment cruisers or lowed into port by Wrecking tugs.

The sport-loving element among the sum-
mer visitors at Crescent Beach was greatly
excited when word was brought in last
Thursday that bluefsh in big schools had
appeared near Bartlett's reef, and were
biting eagerly at anything in the shape of
squid. Many boating parties went out,
but only few fish were caught, owing to
the fact that there was either too little
wind or too much fog. However, it is a
fact that the gamy bluefsh are in the
shore waters in great numbers and good
catches are anticipated this week. Blue
crabs, also, of q respectable size, are now
putting in an appearance in the creeks and
full creel can be easily captured in few
hours.
The hotels at Crescent Beach and Mantle
are rapidly filling up with persons who will
attend the sessions of the Connecticut

L1ghtn1nsss Queer Freak.

Frank Mabbitt of Old Mystic, New
London county, had queer experience
during the recent heavy thunder and light
ming storm. He started for Mystic and re-
members travelling about mile of the
road and that is all. Mabbitt found him
self lying in ditch at the roadside. Soon
flash of lightning revealed to him the
PROSTATE form of his horse on the opposite
side of the road. Mabbitt was soon ena-
bled to regain his footing, and investiga-
ton showed that the horse was also alive
and evidently uninjured. Looking further
he found that the harness was stripped
from the horse and cut into hundreds of
pieces. Mr.. Mabbitt's face was burned in
two places. A large spot on the shoulder
was burned, and on one leg from the knee
down was mark similar to one that would
be made by drawing sharp knife in a
straight line from knee to foot, cutting
through the skin. A hole was also burned
through his coat.

Good Game In the Box-Pettee
Plays the Second bag scout of
Sight.s'
The local team won from Providence
yesterday on the Howard avenue grounds
in well played game. When the game
commenced fully eight hundred spectators
were present, all Of whom thoroughly en-
joyed the frst-class article of ball put up
by both teams. Stab was in the box for
the visitors and for five innings he held
the heavy batters of the home team down
to two little singles. In the sixth and sew
enth innings he let up considerably in. his
speed and was batted at will, the local men
scoring four runs in each inning and earn
ing five out of the eight runs scored.
Doran, who was in the box for the home
team, was at his best and pitched a phe-
nomenal game. He was ably seconded in
his efforts by every member of the team,
and the few errors made were excusable,
being made on hard chances.
Inc game opened With the VISITORS at the
bat, but they we're retired in one, two,
three order in the first inning, principally
through the fine fielding of the home team.
In the second they secured their only run
| of the game after two men were out. Cud-
| worth was presented with his base on balls
and Immediately stole second. Higgins
| then made nice single on which "Cuddy'
scored, but he himself /. was left on base,
/ Hannivan striking out. Although in several
other innings the visitors had men on bases,
| they were unable to coax even a single
| man across the home plate.
The home team was unable to get mar
| past second base until the sixth inning, but
then the slaughtering of Staib's curves be-
! gan in good earnest. Doran was the first
man up and led off with nice single, going
to second shortly afterwards on an error
| of Staib's. Lang was thrown out at first
Esterday to Ryan. Doyle, Farrar, Lally
and Pettee then made singles, Sales got hit
base on balls and the next two men were
retired, but not until four runs had beer

single, closely followed by singles by Doyle
Farrar, Lally, Pettee and base on balls tt
Sales Four runs more were scored in thii
inning, and the run getting for the home
team was at an end.

A United States Senator and a Clam
Digger Shake Hands.


General Joseph R. Hawley and family
are guests at the Pembroke hotel, Merwin's
Point, and naturally they attract much at
tention. From no one has he met with
more genuine friendship than an old clam
digger who resides there. One day the
general was out on the beach where the old
man was digging CLAIMS and entered into
conversation with him. During the prog
ress the old man asked the gen.
erals name and was told it was Haw-
ley. The old man seemed lost in
thought, evidently trying to bring to
his recollection something in the dim
past. Finally he said, "Hawley, Haw-
ley. What Hawleys Is it Clark Hawleys'
mo-" replied the general, cit is J. II.
Hawley.". "What p exclaimed the clam
man, mot General Joe Hawleya" eyes,
General Joe,' was the reply. The man
sprang forward, his hand dripping with
mud, and extending it said, "God bless
you, general, shake. 1 never expected to
see General Joe, and here he is talking
with me like any common man." The gem
eral did not draw back because the hand
was covered with mud, but grasped it, and
the shake that followed was as hearty as
though he was shaking hands with prince.
The general has now at least one faithful
friend at the point who swears by him.
