A Modest Dispatch from the General Announcing His Success. The March, to the Stronghold of tho Chirioahuas in the Sierra Hadres. Excellent Work Done by the Apache Scouts Under Capt. Crawford. Under date of Silver Creek, Arizona, Gen, Crook furnishes the following briei and modest account of his successful campaign against the Apacho hostlles: I left hero Hay 1 with 193 Annoho scouts under Cruwfoid and Wood Muckcy, with Chaffee's company of forty-two men 'of tlui Sixth oavalrv, and rations for two months on mulei Wo followed tho hostile Chirac1 huas to a country of iudesdrfhab'e loushnesa A number of inn! s lost tlieii- footing! stepping from the trtkil, fell down the preCt ipioes and were kil'ed Tho troiighold of the Chirienhuss was lh the very henit of tho Sierra Madtcs. The lxjsition is finely Watered, ahd has a dense growth of timber and plenty bf gross. Thov had becA ramped for months near tho head of Bnvispe, occupying prominent elevated peaks affording a flno lookout for miles, rendering a surprisn almost impossible, and making their retreat; secure through tho rough adj icent canyons Capt Crawford, with the Indian scouts, earlv on the morning of Hay l- surprised the village of Ohata, the chief who loathe recent raid into Arizona and New Mexico Tho tight lasted al day, and the villago was wiped out The damage done cannot be estimated. A number of dead bodies wero found, but the indescribable roughness of tho country invented a count being made. Tho ei.tire camp, with thestock and everything belonging to it, was captured. It was learned from Uxe prisoners that the Cbiricohuas were unanimous for peace and had already seat two meesengets to try to reach San Carlos. On the 17lh they began to surrender. They said their people were much frightened by our sudden apptarane in their fastue-sea and had scilVrcd like quail. Thev asked me to remain until they could gather all tho bands together, when they would go back to tho reservation. By the terras of the treaty niy operations were limited to the time f tho fight, and I told the fhirloahuas to gather up their women and children without delay. They answered that they could not get them to respond to signals, the fugitives fearing they might be set by our Apache scouts td entrap them. They told ub they had a white boy, who was in the village Jumped by our scout He had run oft with the scjuaws who escaped and who had not yet been heard from. They assured me every one of tho band should come in if I would remain a short time The terms of the treaty embarrassed me grf a'iy( and, being in that rough region and rations rapidly disappearing- there being between 800 and 4(10 C'hiricahuas to feed I was compelled to return with the t'h ricahua. We found dx Hexiettn captives, Ave women ai.d one child, taken in Chihuahua early In Stay. They are now with the bommond Tbese womeh say they were captured near the Mexican Central Iiailroad, at a place called Carmen. They further hi ate that When the Chirioahuas discovered the Apache Scouts were in the country they beoame greatly alarmed, and abandoned on the trail the S00 head of cattle they were driving away from paints in Western Chihuahua. The cattle were afterward picked up and driven off by a body ot Mexicans. We marched book as rapidly as the condition of the stock and the strength of the women and children would permit, and found tho country depopulated for a distance of 100 miles from the Apache stronghold The Chirioahuas insist that they have always lived in the Sierra Hadres; that even when the main body went on the reservation some remained behind in the mountains, Of these now out there are a number who they state have never been on the reservation. I have strong hopes of being able to clear the mountains of the lat of thiif-e. Now with us ore toco and Nana, so often reported killed, and the families of other prominent chiefs I saw no Mexican troops, and after leaving the settlements in Northeast Sonera did not see a Mexican other than the captives rescued I have micV assurances from the Indians that the white boy will be brought back alive that I am looking for him every moment, and will inform you' by courier.

Women Doctors', "Why," said Miss Chapman, of Pittsburgh, "we don't differ from the sterner members of pur profession in onr methods of practice. AVe jnst prescribe for people and cure them as they do," with a significant nod toward a passing precession, following tho result of some brother's practice. "1 have been here over eight years and consider myself successful. The gentlemen of the profession could not be more courteous to their own sisters. I am a member of tho Anatomical Society of this city as well as of the County and State Medical Societies. I have held olective positions in all of them, which is, I think, an indication of pretty fair treatment, for a woman, at least, "I had a hard time getting n start, porhaps not harder than the ordinary beginners m this and othei1 professions, but it was discouraging. College and tho dissecting-room, are ,the worst features to bo encountered; The first fonr nights I -was in the dissecting-room 1 cried. Tho gentlemen laughed so much at our timidity. Then I heard One of them remark how becoming tears were to tho profession; and I left tliem off: Ladies are not treated well in many institutions whoso charters compel their admission. The faculty take that conrse to discourage their attendance, since many gentlemen will not attend what they call a feminine institution. "Any lady with a good education and

fa mature mind, above feathers and lace,

can succeed in the profession in this city if she perseveres, I prescribe sometimes fqr gentlemen, but my practice is largely among the ladies and children. Half of my practice is among poor people who cannot pay. Many physicians send patients to me whom they cannot treat from the fact that a proper diagnosis of the disease cannot be obtained. Women can understand women, and it often does a patient more good to tal k to her of spring bonnets and wraps than is effected by the medicine." Pittsburgh Disjiateh. Women In College. Although tikis country took the lend in the co-cducation of the sexes in the higher departments of learning, it is still a mortifviurr fact that Oxford and

Cambridge have anticipated Harvard

and Columbia, to say nothing of xale, in giving the daughters of England the same educational advantages as her sons. Oberlin and Ann Harbor have been instructing young men and women for over a quarter of a century past, to tho great advantage of both sexes ; but tho lesson was lost upon our great Eastern universities. It was not until Oxford and Cambridge took the lead that they have even considered the matter. There is now, however, an annex in Harvard, where young women get substantially the same education as young men, ana a movement is under way to induce Columbia College to open its doors to young lady students. In 1876 the President of Serosis called the attention of the Trustees of the Columbia College to this matter, but President Barnard curtly replied that the college had no funds or disposition to holp female education. But the leading ladies of New Yori could not see why their daughters should be deprived of the advantages freely accorded to the vimnrr women of Boston, and thev nre-

! sented a petition to the Columbia ColI lege authorities, signed by thousands of

the names of the best ana richest people of the metropolis, praying that the portals of Columbia might also be thrown open to young women. This the Trustees have refused to do, on account of want of means, but they are willing to take the first stop if additional fluids are provided. They object to co-education, but are willing to suggest courses of studies and test the proficiency of the young women who would pursue them. This is so far a gain ; but what possible harm could come to the young women by attending lectures in the same halls with young men? The sexes meet together in churches, lecture-rooms and places of amusemont. There the experiment has been tried tens of thousands of times in this and other countries, without any evil resuiting. The college of the fnturo will be open to adults of all ages and of both sexes. VemoretiPs Monthly. Women as l'rlvate Secretaries. A writer in Harper's Bazar says that women akilled in type-writing or phonography, or both, are in demand as confidential clerks and secretaries, and that business men regard thjr services in theso positions ns more serviceable than those of yonng men. In matters of punctuality, endurance and efficiency experience has shown that they are equal to men, they are more teachable and willing to pleaso, and last, but not least, "for reasons which everybody recognizes, but which perhaps will not hold good forever, they are not regarded by business men as possible rivals.'' : Tho writer continues: The average salary of such secretary is $000 a year. Sometimes $1,000 is earned. Tho use of tho type-writer can be learned in a week, and after a practice pf three or four weeks a clever girl can jwrite faster than a penman. Persons who play tho piano-forte become proficient in a shorter time. In any oaso it is comparatively easy to become a first -chws operator. An hour, or two hours, a day is as umch any young woman 'ought to practice when beginning. To become a first-olnss phonograviher or short-hand writer is much moro difficult. One can go through a manual of phonography in a month, by working four or iivo hours irday, and can become an expert in perhaps six months. Proficiency here is a matter of resolute persoveranoe, of persistent attention, of memory and of solf-conttdcnee. The young woman who begins at the ago of 12 or 10 yoars is likely to succeed the soonest. Tho best privnlo secretary is one who can write bhort-hand and can operate a typo-writer. She in able to take down answers to letters and then to mako copies on tho typo-writer from hor phonographicnotes. The lawyer, merchant or other business man sits in his oflieo in the morning, opens bis mail, and, ns he reads a letter, dictates to hi.s secretary tho answer to it. Tho young woman who can write short-hand and operate a type-writer, is in demand today, and sho oau reasonably expect to earn from $700 to r.H) a yoar, if, of ooursei sho has it good common-school education. A knowledge of French and Qermau i likely to increase the pay.

Tho proprietor of a business college says that he could at once find inviting places for fifteen such secretaries if he knew whore such secretaries were to be found. The business of a firm of solicitors for patents has so increased since tho advent of the type-writer (their days seem to have become longer, because so much more work can be done in a day) that they are training in their office two or three young women to become operators on it, who meanwhile make themselves generally usoful, and roceive for their services or $10 a month. After a year so spent these pupils will earn $10 a mouth. Young men, if applying at this office fdr similar poaitionsj would iio (old frankly that experience had lea the firm to prefer tho services of the gentler aex. Chinese Children trad Their Diamonds, During the niornhig four children oi p, rich (.'Ipjiese merchant; attended by a train of Chinese and Malay servants; came to pee Mrs Shaw. . There were a boy and girl of 5 and (S years and two younger children. Ji literal description of their appearance reads like fiction. The girl wore a yellow petticoat of treble satin (mandarin yellow), with broad box-plaits in front and, beliiud, exquisittvely embroidered willi flowers in shades of bine silk, with narrow box-plaits, between, with a trail of blue silk flowers on each. Over this there was a Khort robe of crimson brocaded silk, with a broad border of creamwhite satin, with the same exquisite floral embroidery in hlnvtes of blue silk. Above this was a tippet of throe rows of embroidered lozenge-shaped "tabs" of satin. The chilnl wore a crown on her head, the basis of which was black velvet. At llio top was an aigrotto oi diamonds of the purest water, tho center one as large as a 6-penny piece. Solitaries Hashing blue flames blazed all over the cap, and the front was Ornamented with a dragon in fine filigree work in red Malay gold set with diamonds; I fear to be thought guilty bi exaggeration when I write that this child wore seven necklaces, all of gorgeous beauty. Tho stones were all cut in facets at the back, and highly polished, and their beauty was enchaneed by the good taste and skillful workmanship of the setting. Tho first necklace was of diamonds set as roses and crescents, some of them very large, and all of great brilliancy ; the second oi emeralds, a few of which were as large as acorns, but spoiled by being pierced; the third of pearls, set whole; the fourth of hollow filigree beads in red, burned gold; the fifth of sapphires and diamonds ; the sixth a number of finelyworked chains of gold, with a pendant of a gold filigree fish, set with diamonds ; the seventh, what they all wear, a massive gold chain, which looked heavy enough even by itself to weigh down the fragile little wearer, from which depended a gold sliiokl, on which the Chinese characters forming the child's name wero raised in mbies, with fishes and flowers in diamonds around it; at the baok a god in rubies, similarly surrounded. Magnificent diamond earrings and heavy gold braclets completed the display, and all this weight of splendor, valued at the very least ot $40,000, was carried by a frail human mite barely fonr feot high, with a powdered face, gentle,' pensive expression, and quiet grace of manner, who came forward and most winsoniely shook hands with ns, as did tho other grave, gentle mites. They were also loaded with gold and diamonds. Somo sugar-plums fell on the floor, and as the 'eldest girl stooped to pick them up diamond solitaries fell out of her hair, which were gathered up by her attendants as if they w-sre use to such occurrences. Whenever she moved her diamonds flashed, scintillated and gave forth their bine light. Then came the children of the richest Chinaman in Malacca, but the little creatures were motherless, and mourning for a mother lasts three years, so they wero dressed in plain, blue and white, and as ornaments wore only very beautiful sapphires and diamonds set in silver. Afiss L. L. Bird. The Self-made Man as a Political Leader. Once in a while the instincts of the self-made man (as distinguished from the oOllege-iuado man ) are fine enough to lead to broad views, but in general his horizon is narrow and bordered by prejudices; ho speaks well of the bridge that carried him over, but of no other. Such a man is apt to regard legislation as the science of applied selfishness, and to legislate for but one type (himself) or for his other self -the party. But, even if we consider legislation on a merely selfish plane, the fact remains that laws must be made for a wide diversity of selfishnesses, and this requires not so much ideas as the capacity for dealing with ideas. The more successful' the self-educated man has been whether in railroads, or silver mining, or sheep-raising the more likely he is to be incapacitated for the broad work of the legislator. Indeed, to do his constituents justico, ho is usually chosen, not for his knowledge of tariff principles or of constitutional distinctions, but in outright advocacy of some interest for which he is certain to stand up and be counted, on every occasion. This was very well in war times, when there was one overmastering interest. But with the inauguration of President Garfield the war spirit expended the last of its momentum, and the country once moro recovered the civic temper and turned to economic qnestions pure and simple. The resnlt is inevitable that tho curront of progress will sweep past this type of publio man, and leave him in a shallow bayou of his own. He will have his uses, but his days of leadership are numbered.--The Century. Sound. "Take a loaded cannon 1,000 miles out on the ocean; leavo it there to bo fired off by machinery; remove overy human being out of hearing; then let the gun be fired off; would there be any sound after the explosion, there being no oar in hearing distance?" Tho answer to this question depends upon what sound is hold to be. If sound is the effect produced by vibrations of the air upon the drum of the ear there would, in tho case given, bo no sound. The oauses would bo present, but there could le no effect because there is no ear-drum to produce it. Force travels in air at about 1,100 feet a second. An authority says : " Whenever a greater velocity than this is given to any particles of air thoy must compress tho particles in the air in front of them. This compressed portion of air, by its elasticity, springs out, and thus tho force travels throngh tho air, producing what is callod a wave of sound. Tho ear is designed to take cognizance of theso pulses of forco, waves or tromors within certain limits." If there is no oar there is nothing to take "cognizanco of those pulses of force, wavos or tromors," and hence no sound. Chicago Daily News. dob! Dust.

A Young Antra tor-Catebe r

CatohiUK and raisins allhrators to sell

Seems rather' queef .business for a boy, and yet Jimmie Davis; of Jacksonville, Flo.; who is only 16 years old, makes' ho small, amount of money by so doing. His father is known, by the name of "Alligator! Davis, and,,aa the name imt)lies, is, in the same line pf trade, laving taken, his son with him, as an assistant since he was S years old. : t The father and son live nearly all the time in the swamps or oh the banks of

(lie streams where the alligators are most plentiful, going to ;town only when .they need fresh supplies of provisions or have a stock of captives to sell. Jimmie has been so observing in his

queer trade that he can imitate the ery of an old mother-alligator or her young

ones to such perfection that they will come running after him, thinking his voice that of one of the family. There have been times, though, when Jimmie

has called altogether too successfully, and has had either the father or mother come at him so angry at the deception

practiced that be has nod great difficulty in getting out of the way quickly enough. You must know that large alligators, either alive or stuffed, are purchased by those who make ft business Of exhibiting curiosities, at prices ranging front $10 td $50 for live ones, and about half that sum for those that have been made to "look alive" by the taxidermist: Young bnes are bought by the visitors to Flor

ida, as are the eggs; and the demand for almost everything pertaining to the alligator is So great that Jimmie eften earns as much as $'20 in a week, and

very seldom less than $5. When

neither no or ins father can .eaten a

'gator as they are called in Florida-

olive, they kill him, and if no one wants such a specimen to stuff, they sell the

teeth, which are of pure ivory, to be

made into jewelry, cane or umbrella

heads, and even perfume-bottles. The skin is sold to be mode into leather, flesh is sometime used for food; but more often the oil is boiled oat of it, since it is highly prized by those who need the finest quality of lubricators.

The bones are the only things about'

the alligator that are thrown away, ana in case of very large or fine specimens these are utilized by being wired to

gether and the skeleton sold to mu

seums.

Then there are the eggs, which

Jimmio hod rather get than the young

'gators themselves, because no can hatch the young ones ont and not have

the trouble of catching tne squirming

little things that run very fast even on the first day they come into the world. When an old alligator is about to lay eggs, she selects some nice, quiet place Where she thinks no one will come to

disturb her, and then she beats the ground down hard with her tail until she has made a smooth floor as large around as the top of a hoguhend. On this place she lays from thirty to forty eggs, and covers them with dried gross and mud until she has formed n little round bat. The outside of this she

covers with clay, which dries perfeotly air-tight. Of course she can't sit on the eggs herself, as a hen does, for they ore only about as large as goose-eggs, although more of an oblong shape, and she would crush them; but after she Una 1,,1 tltia linf alia lrnmira t.lia RTin

one of the forty days required to hatch the young ones, and when she hears a queer little barking and snarling, exactly like a lot of puppies would make, she knows the babies have come out of the shells. She then bites a hole through the side of the mud hut, and the little 'gatorn, only about ten inches long, come scampering out, mnning as straight for the water as if they had been there hundreds of times before. When Jimmie Davis can find one of these huts, he can take the eggs to some other place where the mother cannot find them, and hatch them out just as well as she can. He then has the young ones where he can get them whenever he is ready to sell them; and such of the eggs as do not lutve any little 'gators in tliem he can sell at the rate of 50 cents per dozenTherefore when he is out hunting in the spring of the year, which is the time the old alligator builds her nest, he watches carefully for any signs of tho little mud hut, and, after he has found it, he hides somewhere near to wait until the mother has gone for her breakfast or dinner, when he robs the nest Sometimes he finds a brood of youngsters that have just come out of their shells, and then he works hard with a stout dip-net, trying to scoop them out of the water and keep beyond reach of the old 'gators's tail at the same time; for he knows if she strikes him once with lu?r long scaly tail his bones will be broken, if he is not killed outright As f 8t as he catches the young ones, he puts them in a bag, where he keeps them until he has enough to make it worth his while to go town to sell them. There is not much danger in catching yonng 'gators so long as one keeps out of tin mother's way; but when Jimmie and his father start out to catch a big fellow alive, then the sport is both exciting and dangerous, lasting sometimes two or threo days. It is very seldom thoy get on opportunity to steal up to and fasten a rope around him, for that can only be done when the 'gator is oleep. The wav they usually do is to build a regular pen in the water near tho lank, leaving a door just wide enough for the alligator to got in. Directly in the center of this pen is a staie, on wh'oU is tied a piece of badly smelling meat that is the bait, and the pen is mode only to prevent the 'gator from getting at it in any other wav than by the door where tho trap is. ' The first stake on each side of the door has notches cut in it, like the spindle of a squirrel trap, and across these, just above the surface of tho water, is the bar or trigger. Now this pen must be built near the bank whore a largo .sapling grows, and tho tree is bent over and fastened to the trigger with a stout pioce of rope or chain, while just under it, in the water, is a large slip-noose. After nil this has boon done Jimmie and hi father go away to attend to some other work, or mako another trap, and pretty soon along come t Mr. Alligator, wondering how he shall get his dinner, and whether he must go very far for it.

Then ho smolls the moat, ana ne proDablv thinks a new restaurant has been started there, so he swims along very cautiously, with just the tip of his nose out of the water to see what the new place looks like. He sees the meat, and there is no ono near, so he thinks he will sneak in and steal it; but just as he gets his head in, and raises himself out of the water a little to seize the bait, his back hits tho trigger, throwing it out of the notched stakes, and the thief is very much surprised at finding a stout rope securely tied around his body just
