HISTORY RECALLED.
Story of the Camp Grant Massacre of 1871
 Recalled.

on May l, lSl. an event happened that at that time was considered of vast importance to the whole country. viz: what has been handed down as the ''Camp Grant Massacre
 A body of Apache Indians. getting short of rations during the winter of ls'O-1l, had come in to the post of Camp Grant upon the lower San Pedro, and they asked for ratious. The Indians camped some six miles from the post. but not upon any reservation as there was none, drew their ratiOns from the post and continued dcpredating upon the settlers. No roads were safe from the depredatiOns of these Apaches and the military authorities under General SIoneman secuted the idea that these Indians were depredating. In April four men were killed at Tres Alamos on the San Pedro. d herd of mules and horses driven off and traced to this Indian camp at the mouth Oi AlaValpa canyon.

 When the news reached the outside world there was commotion. General Sherman, at that time commanding the army, believing the report of his off, cers as to the harmless nature of these Indians, demanded that the whole party should be arrested and taken outside the territory of Arizona for trial. How ever, this event led to the speedy re- moval of Gen. StOneman and brought Gen. Crook upon the ground, who first organized the policy which has resulted after many failures, in placing the Apache Indians upon reservations and must lead to their ultimate extinction as tribes.

JOKE ON JIM CORBETT
Some New Workers Told Him That
He Ought to Run For Congress
and He Relieved II.

The rumOr that jim Corbett intends to
run for Congress is in the air, much to
the amusement of some practical jokers
at Harlem, who are said to have had a
whole lot of fun with the ex.champion
recently.
As the story goes, Corbett, who lives
at Harlem when in town, met some of
these jokers not long ago and was seri-
ously informed that in recognition of his
ilIustrious career in the prize ring and
behind the footlights number of poll
ticians had decided to run him for Con-
gress.
Jim grasped the idea with grip that
would have sliced the Broadway cable
and promptly called for wine. He then
listened to the outline of his campaign,
it is said, as it was told to him by the
jokers, after which he bought the fizz in
quarts instead Of pints.
He even telephoned to Billy Brady OF
the honor to be conferred upon him, and
Brady sent hurry calls to all his press
agents to work the typewriters overtime.
Then Corbett rushed home to write

Wilmington Ball Players.
The League magnates have pounced
down on this city and gobbled up all our
crack baseball players.
The ajority of them are not new to
the professional ranks, having played
ball on these teams a number OF years.
The new ones are George Prentiss and
Yank Sterlith. The former pitched one
inning for the Bostons against Lancaster,
who made four hits off him. But this is
not bad showing for hoy who has not
had any practice this year, and who also
was up against the heaviest batters in
the Atlantic League. There is very little
doubt, with some practice and some
coaching, George will make success on
the Bostons.
Yank Sterlith has made great hit on
the Waterbury, (Conn. team. He has
caught several games, and his catching
and throwing to bases has caught the
crowds in that city. His batting has
also been good and there is no doubt but
that he will be a fixture.
The other players from this city are
Pete Cassidy, who is playing with the
Newark club of the Atlantic League.
Nixon McCaferty is one of the star
pitchers on the Pawtucket club of the
New England League.
Joe Egan is pitching for the Providence
of the same league.
Tom Flanagan is OCCUPYING the saEe
position on the New Bedford club, also
OF the New England League.
Johnny Newell has bought an interest
in the Reading team and will now
manage it.
The only players Of any note now left
here are Matchy Mcmahon and Dick
Hawke. These two players while pitch
ing for the ex-champion Baltimore club,
both gained u world wide reputation tor
their pheominal pitching and one that
will never die in the annals Of base ball.

An Emperor for a Stepladder.

From the Youths COmpanion.)
The Emperor of Germany is an en- =
thusiastic sportsman, and does not like
away. An incident which German paper
records as Of recent occurrence shows that
he is capable of waving his dignity to
prevent that calamity.
Last autumn the Emperor was hunting
at Belleye, accompanied by his head game
keeper only. The Emperor succeeded in
wounding superb stag, which, after the
shot, threw itself into a reedy pond,
where il was out of the range or the En-
peror's rifle. There was no hoat witt
which 90 20 out after the animal.
In this predicament the Emperor looked
about and saw large oak tree which
overlooked the pond, and from which the
stag might be shot. But the Emperor s
ithered arm does not permit him to
climb trees, so he commanded the game
keeper TO shin" the tree and shoot the
stag.
This the man tried TO do, but he was so
heavy and clumsy that he could not get
up into the tree. He tried to do so two
or three times, andfailing, was astonshedto
see the Emperor stuop down like one who
is preparing to play leapfrog, and to hear
him say, Climb on my back"
The gamekeeper mounted the Emperor s
back, alongside the trunk of the oak, the
Emperor Strengthened up. and the game
keeper was then able TO reach the nearest
branch and lift himself up into the tree.
The result was that the Emperor got his
stag, but he has since laughed a great deal
about the incident, ayerring that his whole
empire had never weighed SO heavily on his
shoulders as that gamekeeper weighed.

PLENTY OF GOLD IN NEW YORK
AurifcrOu> Quartz Ledge Found in
One of the Counties.

Middetown. y. Y, Jan. 26-The lit
tie village of Napanoch, in Ulster
county, near which the State is build
ing its big Eastern Reformatory is in
a state of wild excitement over the al
legged discovery of gold in the Shawan-
gunk MountaipS, the steep sides of
which come down close to the village.
For years d~ellefs in the valleys in
which Napanoch lies have cherished
the belief that there was gold in the
mountains. and much prospecting has
been done. most of It. however, at
points south of Napanoch.
A few years ago traces of gold were
found near EllenVille and may claims
were filed, some of which We're worked
for q time, but without affording
profit.
For seven years Charles and Ira Bill
have been prospecting in the vicinity
of NapanOch. They found many rocks
which contained stray particles Of
gold. but only recently did they find
a ledge OF what they regarded as true
gold bearing quartz. They mined a
quantity of this rock. selected the best
specimens and sent the INTO be assay
ed. The report received last week was
that the ore yielded AT the rate of over
three ounces of gold to 100 pounds of
ore. In some OF the specimens sent
the asayer reported that he found con-
siderable silver and lead.
