A PARTY of Engineers arrived in San Diego on the Fist to commence operations on the Texas Pacific Rail- road. This will give new life and hope to brave little San Diego. For us the news seems too good to be believed. All our knowledge and experience in Arizona has been murder, murder, murder; perhaps it is good enough for us. Topsey said "she's muffin but a nigger anyhow" and we have been pounded and pummeled until we are settling into about the same belief We are tired and sick of the life we have to lead; may the good Lord give us a railroad, send an earth quake and sink us four hundred miles below the level of the sea drive the white settlers out and give the country to the Apaches. Any change will do, if it only comes soon.

WE learn from Governor Bashford and Major Brown that Adam Refs back, who was shot by the Apaches a few days ago at the Burnt Ranch, has since died. Joseph Goldwater, shot by the Apaches at Mint Valley, is in the hospital at Date Creek. It is not yet known whether his wound will prove fatal or not. The Apaches had again attempted to take the herd of sheep belonging to Bashford $ Stew ens-they run the herder three miles,

 but he succeeded in reaching the post with slight wounds in time to get as- sistance to save the herd. General Crook is using every availa ble man to the best possible advantage ill order to give protection to the people. /

To the Editor Of The Chicago Tribune:


SR The present situation in Chicago brings
up question which has been quietly considered
by many for some years Which has the best,
first right to the use Of our streets the dummy
served by yielding that right to the dummy or
the horse Can ne better decline rapid transit
by steam, OF have all horses used in cities edu-
Gated to regard dummy as they do any other
moving sight.


Any horae-man will tell us that, give him a
space between State street and the Michigan
Southern Railroad, and he will guarantee that
80 out of 100 Of all horses passing through such
quarantine before ealo for city use shall be dunn
my and locomotive proof.


For fact bearing upon the case, simply con-
slider the difference between now and q few
years since, in the number Of horses that can
be entirely trusted in close proximity to 3 loco
motive


Mr. Editor, don't own one dollar interest, di-
rect Or indirect, in any street railroad do own
and drive horses and my personal conviction
is, that the simple solution Of the great question
for all cities is, that it is Impossible to do with
out steam-transit through the streets, and it is
possible to educate all needed horses to en-
counter them without fright.


Il the City OF Chicago will step forward and
admit the dummy fully throughout herstreets,-
accompanying such radical change by d parallel
ordinance providing against the use of uneduca-
ted horses, by proper provision for their nspec-
tion and training, at q minimum fee,-she will,
as she does so often, move in lead which will
be followed by the world.


She answers the great question Of city transit,
and mankind will wonder why the egg was never
placed on end before. H.

A dreary place would be this earth
Were there no little people in it;
The song of life would lose its mirth,
Were there no children to begin iti
No little forms, like buds to grow,
And make the admiring heart surrender;
No little hands on breast and brow,
To keep the thrilling love-chords tender.
The sterner souls would grow more stern,
Unfeeling nature more inhuman;
And man to stole coldness turn,


And woman would be less than woman.
Life's song, indeed, would lose its charm,
Were there no babies to begin it;
A doleful place this world would be,
Were there no little people IN it.

The Virgian City Montanida says

owns an unbroken cayuse mare, which
rms in a pasture adjoining his house.
The mare (Which is very wild) has a
young colt at her side. A few nights
since, after Mr.. Fletcher had retired,
he was aroused by the mare coming
to the window of his house, and by
paving, neighing, and in every way
possible. trying to get his attention.
This continuing for some time he got
up and went out and drove her away,
and returned again to bed; bat she
Immediately returned, and, if possible

went out again, when the mare came
up to him and rubbed her nose against
him; although always before she had
been very shy of allowing anyone to
come within reach of her, then ran
on q few yards before him continuing
her neighing then, as he did not fol-
low her, she returned to him, rubbing
against him in the most demonstra-
tive manner. He attempted to drive
her off, struck her with stick, and
folio wed her few yards to brighten
her away. As soon, however, as he
turned towards the house, she return
ed and tried in every possible way to
prevent him from doing SO. He then
remarked that her colt was not with
her, fact he had not noticed before,
it being quite dark. 1T occurred to
him then to follow her, which he did.
So soon as she saw he was doing so
she ran off before him, stopping every
few yards, turning around to see that
he was still following, then again rum

she reached distant part of the field,

appears it had slipped into it and was
unable TO get out, and the mare had
taken this method TO obtain assistance.
Being unable to get il out oaIolfe, Mr..
Fletcher went for some of his neigh

they were taking the little fellow out
the mare manifested the most intense
delight, and seemed almost beside her

A dispatch from Columbus, Ohio,
of the 4th inst, saws: The. trap on
which John Barclay was standing for
his execution dropped at eleven min
utes and a-halt before twelve O'Clock.
His heart ceased beating at ten min
utes after twelve. At twenty-three
and a-nalf minutes past twelve the
body was in the dis5ecting room of the
Sterling Medical college. The galvanic
battery, under the supervision of
Professor Mendenhall, of this city,
was applied under the direction of
several physicians. The first test was
on the spine. This caused the eyes to
open. the left hand to become elevated
and the fingers to move, as if grasping
for something. The hand finally tell
resting on tho breast. The battery
was then applied TO the nerves of the
face and neck, which caused the mus
cles of the face to move as in life
The test was next applied to the
phrenic nerve of the left arm, and af-
terwards TO the sciatic nerve. The
further Investigation determined the
following facts: Death was caused
by strangulstiOn. There was neither
fracture or dislocatiOn of the neck.
There was a rupture of the oligaments
between the first and second cervical
vertebra, with laceration of the verte-
bral vein. This would probably have
been sufficient to have, caused death
in time, but did not in this case. 1t
is certain there was no respiration af-
ter the body fell. The right aud left
ventricIes of the heart were found
filled with fluid blooda There was
less blood than usual in the lungs and
brain. There was an effusion of blood
in the muscles outside the vertebral
column, possibly from rupture, or
from the arteries. The cause of death
was technically asphyxiaa Five hours
alter death, the battery was again ap-
piled, and the muscles of the hand
contracted quite readily.

forth with brave hearts, to try the re-

proved thorny one, our feet grown

No more do we gather an 1unbrok en-
