A Rush Woman.

Close to the wagon we met a bush woman. one of IndowyokR's people. re- iuced by starvation to the most eInaci- ated and pitiable condition Her hus- band had been killed by lions some days before. though she herself had escaped with her life On her back and shoul- ders were the marks where the same hon had ripped away great strips of flesh. Long clots of blood had dried on her body: the wounds had not even been washed gave her some meat. which she seized upon and at once ate ravenously The bones were almost through her filthy skin; her little beady eyes set close together under low. re- treating forehead. her hsttened nose and large protruding lips concealing what little chin she possessed gave her a look most uncanny and repellent
 Altogether more like an animal than a human being. she seemed to me the lowest type of womankind that it has ever been my fate to look on There are numbers of bushmen and their wives who live in this miserable condition. wandering through the veldt with no other means of subsistence than such trash as wild roots and berries. Some ot the men have guns and ammunition. and they spend their whole time in shooting When they kill buck within reach of water-say ten miles-the whole family congregates on the spot sits round the body and gorges itself until every scrap of flesh and skin has disappeared -Blackwood' Magazine

Railway Prosperity.

The railways of the country are doing an unparslled business at the
 present time. Not only are people travelling in greater numbers than in
 ordinary times, but there is an equally heavy amount of freight
 traffic. So much freight is to be transported that the railways are finding it difficult to provide enough cars 10 meet the demand for them. The situation is summed up bv an eastern railway official as follows: With the enormous business in sight it will be a crime if, for the next six months at least, there is a single rate cut or an unemployed car east of Chicago. There is sui
 fcient business to keep every road busy"
 The great amount of business done by the railway companies Is a sure indication of the great pros perity that prevails in all parts of the country. It reflects good times for all the people. The crops are large, causing unusually heavy shipments of grain and agricultural products, which means increased freight business for the railways, while the great amount of manu- featuring and our large exports to foreign countries contribute to great extent in giving the railways new business. Then the people are travelling more than usual. because they feel that they can afford it. The prosperity of the railways is an infallible test of the prosperity CfI the country. As they have never known period when their receipts were greater, it may be assumed that the country is enjoying greater prosperity than ever before.-Mil- waukee Sentinel.

A woman's Remarkable Powers.

Mrs. Helen c. Stafford, who has had a class ID Prescott in physical curative culture, has given excellent satisfaction in her work Members of her class speak in the high est terms of her method of treat ment and assert that they have been very greatly benefited by it. One lady who has spent a great deal of money for medical treat meDt and who has tried various systems of so-cAlled cures, with little or DO relief, commenced to show signs of improvement with her first lesson under Mrs. Stafford, and is naturally not only pleased but de- lighted with her experience. Hay ing been a sufferer for years with out obtaining any relief her case was commencing 10 look hopeless, until Mrs Stafford revived hope within her again by her curative ex- erclses. She administers no medi- cine. her system being entirely de- voted to muscular exercises in which all of the muscles of the body are brought into action. A feature of her methods is that parties taking her treatment can continue them after she leaves.
 Mrs. Stafford also possesses clair voyant powers ID a remarkable de- gree and through these powers has been enabled to give good business advice to parties who have applied to her. One of the most remarkable instances of this kind was her in instructions to a man whom she had never seeu in regard to the location of a mine. Itwas during her visit in Tucson where she met a woman whose husband was engaged m min ing n the Bradshaw mountains ID this county. He was meeting with indifferent success and was very much discouraged, when Mrs. Staf- ford examined - clairvoyantly - a piece Of ore from the mine, in his wife's possession. While ID this con- dition she gave explicit instructions where the man should look for ore and where he would find free gold rock in paving quantities. Although at the point designated there were no surface indications to justify dig ging for ore, there being no out croppings visible, the man proceed ed 10 follow her instructions and at depth of three feet encountered ledge carrying free gold in paying quantity, just as had been described to his wife in Tucson by Mrs. Stsf- ford. The above information was obtained from a letter written by the man 10 Mrs. Stafford, and which was shown to a JOURNAL MINER re- porter, ID which he expressed his gratitude for the information ob- tsined from her whereby his condI ton was changed from one of sl- most hopeless despair to one of buoyant hope and realization.

lincoln as an Inventor.

According to the Baltimors Pa ent Record for October, Abraham Lin coin had aspirations to be an in- ventor long before he became a law yer and statesman. In an article on 'freak" inventions, the Record says of LincOln's attempt:
 ''It wlll TO doubt surprise many of our readers to be told here that among the inventors of "fresks' sp- pears the name of the distinguished president, Abraham Lincoln. But it was long before he ever dreamed that be would one day give a million human beings their freedom by a single stroke of his pen. The freak invention of Lincoln was an 'unsink able steamship which was never considered feasible enough even for a practicable trial. IL was patented in 1S49, aud consisted of an ordinary steamship with rubber sirbags at tached Co the sides. Under normal conditions these air bags were sus- pended five feet clear of the water, but the moment the ship sprung a leak or vas in danger of sinking from any other causes, these air bags were at once lowered into the water, where they will keep the ship sAoat, wrote Lincoln in the speci- 6cstion which accompanied his ap- plicstion for patent. It was sup posed also that the appliance would be of special value in the navigation of big vessels in shallow water."- Baltimore News.

The withdrawal of the troops from that post made the Indians de- liant and ugly toward the white set- tiers; and the death of the young stock rider, Montgomery, is one of the natural consequences.

MASSACRE OF MAJUBA HILL,
Story of the Fight.
February 2. 1881.

February 2, 1881.
 It was on that day that Gen. Sir George Colley, an officer of eXperi- ence and undoubted personal bray cry, after a forced night march, took up a position on the summit of Ma tuba with his force Of 600 British soldiers. Since his defeat by the Boers at Laing's Neck on January | 2l his communication had been con- stantly attacked by the burgbers, and on taking up the highly i'm pOrtsnt strategic position on Maluba be determined once more to assume the offensive. The Boer forces filled the valley commanded by the hill, and when they discovered the posi- tion taken by the British forces they manifested every symptom of panic sud made what st first seemed gen eral movement to retreat. They, however, did not do SO. The ad- vance of Gems. Joubert and Smidt prevailed, and the Boers settled down to preparations for an attack.
 The BOers, however, knew that the sides of the hill which rose precipi- tately from the plain, were scared by deep cliffs and gullies. Up these Joubert determined to send band of his picked men. and to cover their operations the men ID the valley opened brisk fire on the soldiers on the hIll. So accurate was the shooting of the Boers that the Eng lIsh soldiers kept under cover as much ss possible, only rising now and then to return & volley. Little harm WAS done by this long-range iripg on either side, and so confident of their security were the British soldiers that with every volley they hurled tsunts st the enemy in the distance. For six hours this firing continued-that was the length of time 1t took the 25O BOers who at tempted the ascent to climb the hill. Once there, one party Of sixty burg hers occupied a small peak standing or the skirt of the summit, killing by a single volley the small British picket that held it. The rest of the Boers poured themselves over the i saucer-hke edges of the hAt-topped I mountain aud took the British sol l diers completely by surprise. The was so sudden, so totally | that the English force could not awake to a realization of what had happened. They fsncied themselves Penned ID to slaughter, and all the efforts of their general and his officers could not recall them to discipline. They precipitated themselves down the side of the hill. into the very hands of the BoerS, who advanced to meet them.
 A handfIl of them remained to tight and be killed, among them Sen. Colley, who, when he saw all nope lost, took his life with his own 1snd. The defeat at Laing's Neck lsd already demoralized the hand .ul of British soldiers, who felt iso- ated ID a strange country. Of the 500 British troops who oc- ( 'upied the summit of MaJubs hill, lyer 3OO were killed in retreat. The oOer loss, according U Boer ac- counts, was only one killed and five SOunded. { Majuba hill ended the brief war 'f 1881. h less thsn 6 month after , ward Mir.

Navajo Troubles Ended. |.

Governor Murphy returned last night from Flagstaff, where he went to investigate the reports of dis order among the Navsjos. The sen- sational stories sent out from the north and from Phenix were no, only greatly exaggerated, but many of the most serious ones were with out foundation. There was never any danger of an uprising on ac- count of the bloody afray at Wal nut canyon last Saturday night. ID which w. H. Montgomery and two Indians were killed. Montgomery $ body was not mutilated, as has been reported, nor was there any indics- tions that the Indians had returned to the battlefield after the sheriff s posse had left it.
 Regarding the story that Fred Voltz of Canyon Diablo had seen a large party of Indians from the re servation going toward the scene of the trouble, Governor Murphy saw Voltz in Flagstaff yesterday and Voltz told him that be had seen no Indians at all and was not at Canyon Diablo at the time the Indians were reported to have crossed. The gov ernor sscertained that everything was quiet on the reservation. There is absolutely no trouble apprehend- ed.--Herald.
