ABOUT VISITING CARDs.-An impor.
tant feature has of late been introduced
into the use of these articles. The
beau monde, of course, makes calls by


merely sending around cards. That
every one knows, and hence there was
some sense in the order made by some


body to deliver cards New Years day
for such of the gentry as were too lazy
to go in person. The point is this:
when card is left at your house it is
a call in mere form-an empty express
sion of still more empty politeness-
but if it be really meant for call, and
not as dead letter, you will find one
corner turned down. The lady visitor
when she stops her carriage at the door
of a "dear" friend-one whose kind
regards she means to cherish-is care
ful, as she puts her card in the hands
of the nunky to deliver at the door, to
turn down the corner as aforesaid. This
is as much as to say, 81 love you dear
ly, and 1 am dying to see you, as you
will perceive by looking at the inch of
pasteboard )" and having made this ex-
pressive utterance, the carriage drives
on. ViUala 6agatellel what new trick

ritate, consequently it should be used
instead of black pepper. 1t was known

East Indies from time immemorial, as
it corrects that fatulence which attends

in health do not need any pepper in
their food. But to those of weak and

to use cayenne pepper at meals than

REMOVING 4 TIGHT FINGER-RING.-Il

The Confederacy could even then have
obtained terms which would have settled for
all time questions of reconstruction, and
saved the waste of life and of property, and
the humiliation of being conquered people,
But no, the proposition was rejected. The
last chance to "save," not only honor, but
everything else, was lost, and the edict went
forth to end the war by one combined move
ment, and the signal gun in front of Peters
burg was answered by the cheers of half a
million of men in arms and responsive can
non along the whole Confederate line. And
in campaign so short, in a struggle so ter
rible that it now seems more like dream
than reality, the Confederate flag went to the
dust forever-the cause was lost, the people
were conquered, and left TO their fate by the
same leaders who few short weeks before,
would not exchange war forpeace, and whose
last official act was to assure the people from
Danville that all was WELL" and they were
blessings in disguise, and with the ink still
undried upon that last act of craftsmanship,
the head of brave but deluded people
sought personal safety in flight The army
had surrendered and been paroled; the lea
ders were fugitives; the people, without an
army or civil leaders, were struck dumb by
the sudden crash; the great moral drama
"save your honor" was played out; and
thousand veteran regiments bearing flag
which through four great wars had foated
in triumph, filed down Pennsylvania Avenue,
passed their Capitol to their homes. Active
hostilities with arms were at an end.


But hostility of another character was
about to commence, and tomorrow we will
show that the leaders who failed in the re-
bellion, inaugurated by the shot at the 'Star
of the West" have also failed in the rebel
lion inaugurated by their dupe Andrew john
son.

The recent legislation of the Rebel

question whether our duty under the is
sue imposed upon us by the late re-

husbands and SONS were in the field
combating the enemies of freedom and
equal rights, we felt it our duty to aid
and sustain them by every means in our
power. We cheered them by our words
and our works: we sent them comforts
IN every form to sustain the outer man,
and We pointed them to the path of duty
by appeals to the moral and intellectual

the most hostile, relentless and blood Thirst,
tribe of Indians on the Continent Thinking
that perhaps it might be interesting to vor
and the many readers of your very interestins
paper, 1 have taken the liberty to write thes,
few hasty lines. -
The Indians have opened the campaign TO
this year, south of the ella, in vigorou:
manner. They have captured large Tex al
herd of cattle They have made numerou:
visitatiOns of similar character on nearly
| every road, rancho, or military post in tht
country. We have had share of their pat
ronage all the time but not until to day hay,
they been here in force. .r.,... a f..


A large number attacked the herd which
was out on the San Simon Valley, about noon
while it was being driven up into the mouth
of a canon for water.


Fortunately they were discovered by the
Corporal in charge, before they had Il chance
to surprise them. On being attacked they at
tempted to bring the herd in, but the Indians
cut them off from the "Old Pass However,
they got the advantage, finally, and came in al
the New Paas." When the alarm was given,
the Captain, Post Surgeon and myself mount
cd our horses and went out with about TWEEN
ty men, but further than frightning them by
an approach, VIC rendered the herd no mate
rial aid


The preservation of the herd and the lives
of the men in charge, is only due to the very
superior breech loading, Springfield musket
with which our company is armed The men
behaved with great coolness and yalor. ...


After their failure here, the Indians went to
an old mail station near the San Simon Glen
ega, some 10 miles from the one attacked, and
captured about thirty mules from a train that
left here this morning, which had just SUPP ii
this post with corn and was returning to the
River (Rio Grande) -.


The overland mail coach was there at the
time, and took advantage of the Indians
while they were running off with the mules
they were running for Camp Bowie. ..s


Our Indians are doing so well now, they
will not need any more "Peace Commissioners
until about August or September by that
time they will have used up all their ammuni-
ton, and they must have more. There is on
ly one cry, here, and that is determination"


All wish it were possible for the Commits
sioners TO see just one victim of the Apaches-
one struggling victim hanging by his heels
with slow fire uuder his head or naked
body mutilated in every conceivable way that
only their fiendish, hellish minds can invent


What place to live, where you scarcely
dare step cut of doors after dark, without a re-
volyer in your hand, or where you cannot pass
by u window in the evening, without feeling
the flesh creep.


That is the kind Of life we live here, and
you may depend upon it, it win be continued
as long as they send these Peace Commissioners
out to the plains. 2


They need not be at all surprised, if some
day they find that the army had declared
them to be ii common enemy with their Indi-
IN friends.
