entering rather back of the apex Of the
crown. He was seen to throw up his
| hand after the first shot as he fell to his
knees, and heard to exclaim, "Don't kin
me !" when the second shot put an end
to his life. He died without a struggle,
and peaceful smile was on his lips, as
though he was but asleep.


In stripping him his wallet, containing
fifty dollars, fell out of a pocket and was
not observed by the Indians. 1t was
found by Sergeant A. Rise, Battery K,
Fourth Artillery, together with his keys,
and was handed over to DR.. Eldery,
medical director of the expedition.


Schonchin was the one who attacked
Meacham, who, it seems, made like the
Doctor, futile effort to escape. The first
shot crashed through his arm and dis
abled it, and probably knocked him down
when another bullet shaved away the
eyebrow and cut the ridge of the nose,
wounding the cartilage and bone very
seriously. Another ball struck him at
the lower lobe of the left ear, gancing
along the skull and emerging some three
inches above. An attempt was made to
scalp him, but further than cutting long
and ugly cash partly around his head, the
fiends did not succeed. He was taken to
the hospital, where every attention was
paid him, and at the time of writing,
(midnight) there is hope that he will sur
vive. Aside from the injuries stated, the
left hand was badly hurt, bullet having
shattered the torefnger.


We now turn to the living, and consid-
er the almost miraculous escape of Mr..
Dyar. AS | before stated, he was stand
ing by his horse when the first cap ex-
ploded. Seeing the treachery, he sprang
like deer for the rocks, in the direction
Of the camp, closely followed by Hooka
Jim, who fired two shots at him. Dyar
turned and presented his derringor at
the savage, who bounded away in the
opposite direction and Dyar resumed his
run for camp, which he reached in safety,
falling once on his way and exploding
one charge Of his weapon.


Riddle and wife ran for their lives and
escaped unhurt, with the exception Of the
woman, who was knocked down and
bruised by her people. They were too
busy in securing the Commission at first,
and thus they escaped. Stretchers were
at once sent for and the bodies Of the dead
and living brought into camp.


The very latest news from the Lava

Modocs are again victorious all the In

rules were-not carried out in accordance
with his views, and the n. Y. Tribune is
violent in its denunciation of the Presi-

part of the civil reformers, for it is a well
known fact that the President has incur
red the opposition of numbers of Repub-
licans for adhering firmly to the theories
Of Mr. Curtis regarding competitive ex-
aminations, etc. 1t will soon transpire
beyond all question that Mr.. Curtis does
not retire from the Board because the
business is not done to his liking, but
that failing health and the absolute neces-
sity for his abstainiug from all mental
exertion is the true cause of his resigna-
ton. Your correspondent can speak
from certain knowledge in saying that
ill health is the cause of his resignation,
as it has been the cause of his breaking
all his lecturing engagements for the sea-
son at a great sacrifice of money and the
growing fame of one of the first lecturers
Of the country.

We have sometimes wondered to see a
helpless kitten or puppy given up to be tor
tured in nursery, without even an attempt
to explain to the children the pain they are
inhicting, and the duties they owe to
the helpless. Thus, what might form the
most beautiful trait in child's character is
changed to deformity. Instead Of learn
lug from the kitten generous consideration
for weakness and helplessness, the little one
receives in the nursery the first lesson of
brutal tyranny.


No parents ought to allow a child the pos
session of any living creatures with whose
comfort and welfare they do not charge
themselves. Children are not naturally cru
ell; they arc only ignorant and inconsiderate
They have no conception Of the pain they
often inhict, even by their loving caresses.
A boy, too, has in him sort of wild, uncul-
tured love Of domination and sense of power,
which are no sins, but may be made the
foundations of great virtue, if he be early
taught that his strength and power of con-
troll are given him for the protection of weak
ness, and not for the oppression of it. A boy
can use the same faculties in defending and
helping poor animals that he can in oppress-
ing them; and the pets of the nursery are
valuable for teaching that very lesson.-MrS
II. B. Stope.

Mr.. Quatrefages, in his opening address,
at Bordeaux, on the formation of the New
French Society for the Advancement of Sci
cnce, well observed Gall men cannot be ex-
pected to enlist under the banner of profess
sional science. But all may and must ac-
quire scientific notions, sufficient at least to
understand the utility of the Intervention Of
special men, and to be able to judge when
that intervention becomes necessary. Science
is nowadays omnipresent, and tends more and
more to become the sovereign Of the world.
What industry is there that does not want
the help of the engineer, and would remain
content with the progress already accom-
plished2 What branch of manuiacturs
would decline the help of chemistry? What
medical practitioner, worthy of that name,
would consent to forsake physiology, that
complex science, the offspring of chemistry,
and do without natural philosophy, any more
than anatomy? What intelligent agricul-
turst does not understand that the problems
of culture and production are essentially
questions belonging to ZOOLOGY, botany, geol-
ogy, and chemistry And in this great city,
one of the queens of universal commerce,
what merchant would deny the Importance of
geography


Science is as indispensable to the military
man as it is to the manufacturer, the medical
practitioner, and the agriculturist. l am
not going to undervalue the share that, in
war, falls to inspiration and gallantry. But
inspiration must be enlightened by study, and
courage must be aided by weapons, equal in
efficiency and power to those of the enemy.
No more than the agriculturalist or the man.
ufacturer, can the officer master all the scienc.
es, the help of which is necessary to his pro-
fession. He cannot be expected to solve by
himself all the problems raised by his single
art. 1t is essential that he should first as
certain these problems, and confidently appeal
to scientific men, pointing out to them the
application he wants. Let us, therefore, stir
up the intellect Of all men. Surely, we
may hope to bring to light many treasures
which, for want of the opportunities, which
it will be our object to create, might remain
buried in the darkness of ignorance. You
see, gentlemen, that our task will be fulfilled
only when every man exercising any inhu
ence on his neighbor, or having any amount
of leisure on his hands, shall have become al
enlightened friend Of Science when the least
among laborers shall know what principle
regulate the processes and the practice of hi,
handicraf. This is enough to make you un
derstand that our work is one of time. Mos
Of US will not see its ultimate end, but w
shall bequeath this noble task to our sons
as a sacred heirloom, aud you may rest as
sured that it will be accomplished by them
if not by us.

We publish this morning the resOlu-
ton OF the board Of health declaring the
presence Of yellow-fever in the city.
Why She declaration should be made
viii not be clear to many Of our citizens.
According to the resolution itself the
disease Is not epidemic, being confined
20 one locality; therefore we think it
would have been more prudent for the
board to have Published the specific
causes Of death in the regular weekly
mortuary report, and let the facts speak
for themselves. Such is usage elsewhere.
we fear The intention Of the board, no
doubt a good one, Will be misunderstood
s5road, and the resolution be taken
f5y a declaration that the disease ex-
lists in epidemic form, when the
contrary is the fact. In following out
our determination 10 serve the public
faithfully, and with view to substanti-
ate and verify the statement Of the
board that the disease is not epidemic, we
yesterday sent one Of our reporters 10
interview the several undertakes Of
the city and from them We learn that
their figures do not tally with the
''4bout" Of the board, and that they
surrendered to the board, in all, but five
certificates Of death by yelIow-iever.
Between this aud the figures Of the
board there is a wide gap. We do not
say they are correct, nor do we impugn
the statement of the board. We mere
ly give them as showing a neees-
sity for the plain publication Of
facts, and with n view to impress
upon the board the necessity for the
specific publication Of every death, with
the cause attached. We trust this will
be fortbcoming tomorrow. We ask it
IN the name OF the citizens and in be-
ha's Of the mercantile Interest, which,
sy the publication OF the resolution of
the board, receives as severe a blow as if
an epidemic really existed. If so, some
will say why publish ii? We answer,
because Memphis has already suffered
SO much from Misrepresentation that
we could MT think Of furnishing

A noted farmer of New England, after visiting England and examining with the critical eye of practical and produced there, he says

 old faith that the only good farmer of There is widely prevailing antipathy among the common farmers of our State against not only the practice of high farming, but against the use of the phrase by agricultural writers. This is all wrong, and should at once be cor rected. Through some misconception of the meaning of the phrase, and also of it's application, they have come to believe it synonymous with theoretical book farming,' new-fangled notions, boasted strides of progress, followed by disappointments and final failure. This is all an error. High farming simply means thorough cultivation, liberal manuring, bountiful crops, good stock, good feed, and paying profits therefrom. It is not strange that mis- conceptions have arisen in the minds of doubting farmers who have been eye witnesses to some of the spread-eagle experiments of enthusiastic farmers, better supplied with money obtained in business they know how to manage than with practical experience on the farm. Bountiful crops and paying profits of course are what all farmers who are dependent upon the farm fol an income are striving to obtain and every year as it passes is reconfrmine the opinion that the profits are small, and will grow beautifully less where high farming is not practiced.

The schooner William A. Pew, of Cape Ann, which arrived from the Grand Banks, brought in two of the crew of schooner Lewis, of Marblehead William Ward and Lawrence Null cahy-who left their vessel on the 3d of July to visit their trawl, and thick fog setting in they were unable toregain her. The schooner subsequently, re- up as lost. The men state that for five days the fog was so dense it was i'm possible to see but very short distance around them. They made every effort to regain the vessel, but without suc- cess. They frequently heard the whis- ties of steamers, but never saw one {; and their sufferings for the want of food and drink were most excruciating. On the fifth day they were about to give up in despair when the fog lifted, and to their joy they described Q vessel in the distance. This gave them new courage, and determining to make one more effort for their lives, they rowed for the schooner and soon succeeded in making themselves seen. The schooner proved to be the William A. Pew, and a boat was soon sent to their assistance. They were taken on board in 0 very ex- hausted condition, but with careful nursing and kind attention from the captain and crew, they were soon on the mending hand, although they still show the effects of the terrible ordeal through which they passed. When they arrived home at Marblehead they were welcomed as those only can be who had been given up as dead.
