RAtM, Commissioner of Internal Revenue, is an aspirant for Senatorial honors from Illinois. So are Gov. Cullom, and Hobt. T. Lincoln. The northern Democrats did not rally to the support of Ciialdiers with the alacrity that the southern election frauds expected. The e. f s. should take a hint. Congress did a good day's work Saturday, boosting Chalmers, of Mississippi, out of a seat he was not elected to occupy and seating the member elect, Hon. J. K. Lynch. It seems that the colored voters of Greenes stle have been paying oft some little political debts. Tis a good idea. If we would "strike back" a little oftener we would be respected in a much higher degree. Two sisters, one Catholic, and the other Protestant fought over the unfilled grave of their mother, at Plainfield, N. J. Monday last. The dispute arose from the burying of the mother in a Protestant cemetery. The Cairo (Ills.) Gazette, edited by J. J. Bird, and the Chronicle, EvansTÜle, Ind., edited add published by Benjamin & Towson, have launched out on the uncertain sea of colored journalism. Both papers show ability of a high order, and will no doubt be valuable accessions to the colored press. It is claimed by some of our politicians and newspapers that a full State Senate must be elected in November, owing to the change in time of voting from October to November. Democrats affect to believe that this would be advantageous to them, but it might not after all. They have not carried the November election yet. The Cameronians and the Wolves held a conference Saturday and Monday in Philadelphia, trying to harmonize the differences between regular and independent Republicans. It was partially successful, but Wolf and his followers show a disposition to bolt the nomination of Beaver for Governor, if it is made by the regulars. Hatha way's Independent made its de" but before the reading public last Saturday. It is a six column quarto, is brim full of good reading matter, and will no doubt take place in the front rank with our city journals. It i Independent in name, but we are pretty' firmly impressed with the idea that it will be Republican in politics. The Jndepenent has our best wishes. We acknowledge, with thanks, the reception of a P. O. order for $20.25, subscription money, from Prof. Solomon Day, Prin. of the colored schools of Dayton Ohio. We sent Prof. Day a few specimen copies one week ago to day, with the above result. We' wish to return thanks to Prof. Day, for the interest he takes in the Leader and also to the good people of Dayton for their kind apreciation of our efforts. Monday next the Democracy of this district assemble at Shelbyville to place a candidate in the field to contest the congressional representation with Hon. Stanton J. Peeixe., The most prominent candidates are Hons. W. E. Eng. Lisi!, W. F. A. Berniiamer, and Judge Tubfie. Relying on retaining the gains made this Spring, the Democrats are evidently going to make a desperate effort to walk away with this district. : The Foreign Affairs Committee of the House, heard the testimony of exSecertary Blaine, last week, relative to the Shepherd business. Perry Belmont, a youthful member from New York, essayed the role of investigator
and attempted to place Mr. Blaine in1 an equivocal position. The ex-Stcre-tary t"ed the young man up very thoroughly ancLsat down on him in a manner that reminded him of boyhood days when his mother used to slipper him. The cyclones are now practicing on what the flood s left in the Mississippi Vallev. In the death of Longfellow, Darwin and Emerson, literature and science have lost three eminent and brilliant lights.
The well-known and renowned show man, Jumbo, is now exhibiting Barnum, the biggest elephant on this or any other continent.. An attempt was made Saturday to assasiuate W. II. Vanderrilt and Cyrus W. Field by means of infernal machines sent through the mail. Happily one of them exploded in transit without doing any damage. No means should be left untried to ferret out and exterminate such cowardly would be murderers more infamous, if possible, than Guiteau. Men who do not like to see any body richer than themselves should go to a country where every lxxly is poor. BRYANT, LONGFELLOW, EMERSON. Indianapolis Seotinel.l The great poets of America are rapidly disappearing from the earth. Bryant, Long fellow and Emerson have taken their departure. They lived sublime lives. They died grandly. Their steps down to the tomb nay, rather up to the tomb were majestic. They were known as intimately In Heaven as in earth. They had held high and holy communion with the good of all ages. They could speak the language of the skies. They had been students of Heavenly harmonies worshipers at shrines where, to ears attuned, angel voices were heard, and sacred influences hushed the soul to repose or refreshed them, like new wine, for their life work. We read the pure thought, the beautiful fancies of the dead poets, we catch the inspiration, the reason, the rhyme, the melody, and thank God for the power that lifts the world to those celestial elevations where humanity and divinity hold converse, where man realizes some of the beatitudes of his immortality and can claim kinship with Diety. " 'Tis good to hold communion with the dead, To walk the lane where bending willows throw Gloom o'er the dark green turf, ere day Is tied. And cast deep shadows on the tomb below; For, at we muse thus silently, we know The worth of all our longiugs, and we pay New worship Into purity, aud so We gather strength to take our toilsome way. Which must be meekly bo rue, or life be thrown away." The poets we have named are now of the past To the living they belong to memory and retrospection. Bryant, contemplating the "unrelenting past," the treasures it holds, sang: "Thine for a space are they Yet shalt thou yield thy treasures up at last; Thy gates shall yet give way. Thy bolts shall fall Inexorable past" "All shall come back, each Ue Of pure affection shall be knit again ; Alone shall evil die And sorrow dweU a prisoner In thy reign." It is not strange that such a poet began his song life with 'Thanatopsis," or that he so lived, that when the summons came to him to "join the innumerable caravan which moves to that mysterious realm," it found him ready. Such grand ideas of life and death are to be perpetuated as long as the divine philosophy of life has a home in the minds .of men. Nor was Longfellow less devoutly interested in building for himself a home in the hearts of all men whoss natures are in sympathy with its divinity. His "Psalm of Life" has in all lands awakened emotions of reverence for life's possibilities and a courage to fight to the end the battles of life. The faint-hearted, taught that "Life ! real! Life is earnest! And the grave is not it Koal; Dust thou art, to dust returnest Vas not spoken ol the soul." have taken courage and achieved success. Longfellow not less, jxjssibly more than Bryant looked forward to reunions in Heaven's haven, and this is brought into enraptured prominence in the closing stanza of "The Old Clock on the Stairs": "Never here, forever there. Where all parting, pain and care And death and time shall Heappcar Forever there, but never here! The horologe of eternity Sayeth this incessantly Forever never f Never forever l " Emerson was as trustful as Bryant and Longfellow. His mind was cast in a differ ent mold. It was trained to greater severity of thought hut it was not less poetic, though there is less warmth of expression. In his poein "Good-By," he sings: "Good-by to flattery's fawning face, To grandeur, with his wise grimace, To upstart wealth's averted eye, To supple office, low or high. To crowded halls, to court and street. To frozen hearts and hastening feet. To those who go, and those who Come Good-by, proud world, I'm going home. "Oh, when I am safe In mr 8ylvan home, I tread on the pride of Greece and Rome, And when lam stretched beneath the pines, Where the evening star so holy shines, I laugh at the love and pride of man, At the sophist schools, and the learned clan, For what are they ail. In their high conceit When man In the bush with God may meet?" Emerson has aaid his last good-by. He is how with all the great poets of the past If he sings on in his new abode he will strike his harp to loftier themes than engaged him here. Who will be the next American poet known to fame to lay aside his harp and go, like Moses, to the mountain top for burial-dying, swan-like, with sweet songs in his throat? THE CENTRAL BANK.

"Some are born great, some achten grentnas, ana tome bave grtatnest thrust upon tAem."Shakavcart RALPH WALDO EMERSON, "THE 8AOE Or CONCORD." Like that of Longfellow, the life of Ralph Waldo Emerson, who died at Concord, Mass., April 27, was uneventful, and the public interest in both men depends altogether upon the appreciation by the people of work produced in studious retirement Their lives presented a monotony, and yet the record of the most trilling of their doings and sayings is of value in the eyes of an intelligent public, eager to welcome words of wisdom and beauty and admiringly grateful toward those who utter them. The deceased poet and philosopher possessed a wide, if not particularly numerous, circle of readers. Like those of Longfellow his works are read probably as extensively in-Great Britain and the English Colonies as in the United States, and Nations are bereaved now that the gentle and unassuming "Sf:e of Concord" has passed away. Ralph Waldo Emerson was the son of a Unitarian minister. He was born in Boston, May 25, lf03. During the four years from 1817 to 121, he studied at Harvard College, where he was graduated. It is told of him that he was not a model student, in the sense of superiority in the matter of performing set work, but he was a great reader and followed a decided personal judgment in his choice of books. Like many other great men, he started life as a teacher, which he did not follow long, but telinquished for the study of theology an ancestral pursuit by the way, for it is recorded that there was always a clergyman in the American branch of the family from the time when Concord was founded, back in the seventeeth century. For three years, from 1829 to 1832, he ministered thought to a congregation in Boston, but resigned when his people and he had grown hopelessly at variance in their conceptions of religion. Retiring to Concord, where he lived to the end, Mr. Emerson devoted himself to a life of letters, producing a considerable number of books in prose and poetry aud lecturing in this country and abroad as solicited by demand for his utterances. He never cultivated popularity as a speaker, but his voice was, at one period of his life, heard frequently on the question of slavery, woman's rights and other subjects of current and particular interest. Mr. Emerson made his first address as a literary man in 1837. at Harvard, on "Man Thinking." An address on "Literary Ethics," to the-Divinity School of the same University was his next effort, delivered a year after the first, In 1840, he started a magazine called the Dial, which taught the "transcendental philosophy," at that time irreatly exercising the keen wits of New England. This publication lived four years. In 1841, Emerson published his "Method of Nature," "Man the Reformer," a volume of "Essays," and several lectures. His first volume of poems saw the light in 1840, in which year two series of "Essays" were also published. , Three j ears after be visited England,wLere he deliveied a course of lectures on "Representative Men." In 1852, associated with W. H. Channing and J. F. Ciark. he published a biography of Margaret Fuller, who, with A. Bronson 'Alcott, had assisted him in the conduct of the Dial. "English Traits." perhaps the most read of his books, was published in 1850, and "The Conduct of Life" in 1800. These are Lis principal works. Mr. Emerson's style is peculiar, possessing affectations and conceits which mar the pleasure cf the average reader. His poetry is deeply tender and beautiful. Proelamatlon by the President. Washington, May 3. The President has issued the following proclamation ordering the dispersion of unlawful assemblages in the Territory of Arizona: By the President of 'the United States of AmericaA Proclamation : Whereas, It is provided in the laws of the United Slates that "whenever, by reason of unlawful obstructions, combinations or assemblages of ierwmis, or rebellion against the authority ef the Government of the United States, it shall become impracticable, in the judgment of the Piesident, to enforce, by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings the laws of the United states within any state or Territory, it shall be lawful for the President to call for the militia of any or all of tne Mates, aim employ such parts of the land and naval forces of the United Htates as he may dee in neccs ary to enforce the faithful execution of the laws of the United States or to suppress such rebellion n whatever titate or Territory thereof laws of the United States may be forcibly opposed or Uie execution thereof be foicibly obstructed; and. Whereas, It has been made to appear satisfactorily to me, by information received from the Uovtrnor of the Territory of Arizoaaand from the General of the Army of the United States and other reliable sources, that in consequence of unlawful combinations of evil-disposed persons who are banded together to oppose and obstruct the execution of the laws, it has become impracticable to enforce, by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, the laws of the United fitates within that Territory, and that the laws of the United States have been therein forcibly opposed end the execuUve thereof forcibly resisted ; and.

CHESTER A. ARTHUR, President. Frederick L Frelinghuysex, Secretary of State. Story of John Qalney Adams. Lynchburg Virginian.1 The son of Mr. Adams says that he always abhorred gambling, and could not have been induced to engage in the reprehensible pract ce if he had been in his right mind. But it was not altogether so with his illustrious father, John Quincy Adams, if the story we once heard of him be true, Puritanic as the son of Abigail Adams was, in many respects. It is said that when Mr. Adams, Mr. Clay and Mr. Gallatin were cocommissioners at Ghent, to negotiate a treaty of peace with Oreat Britain in 1816, each of them purchased a fine painting to bring home. Mr. Gallatin had made choice of a picture of the Virgin Mary, the work of an eminent artist, which Mr. Adams was exceedingly anxious to secure, and proposed to Mr. Gallatin some kind of a game of cards to decide the question. To this proposition Mr. Gallatin ia reportea to nave responded in nis broken English: "I did not get de Virgin in dat vey and I shall not part from her in dat vey' That settled the matter, and showed that the Swiss was more strongly opposed to eames of chance than even the Puritan that is, if the story be true. Thk United States produced during the year 1881 71,300,000 pounds of copper, the State of Michigan being credited with 53,000,000 pounds.
WASHINGTON LETTER.
Exit Chalmers, Ente Itfricli Movement for Methodist Union Monument to Colonel Shaw--Miscellaneous and Personal Xotes. Washington, D. C, May 1st. Tue Lynch-Chalmers contest, which has been ever present in the arena of political discussion since the election in 1880, was definitely settled Saturday by the ousting of Chalmers and the seating of Mr. Lynch, the man who was elected. Mr. Calkins, chairman of the committee on elections, called up the case for final consideration Thursday of last week, the debate lasting through most of the day Saturday, and terminating as above stated. The most prominent participants in the discussion were the principal parties to the contest, and Messrs. Robeson, Calkins, De Motte, Carlisle, Hooker, Tucker, Hammond and Atherton. The seech of Mr. Lynch was an excellent effort, and certaiuly shows that in him the Mississippi Bourbons have a foeman worthy of their steel or steal, as Chalmers would doubtless prefer. While deliver ing his speech he stood at the desk of A 1 Gen. Garfield, with Register Bruce occupying a seat near him. The speech which was a full aud complete expose ot the "Mississippi plan, was delivered in an easy aud eloquent manner, and commanded throughout the closest attention of the House, including Dem ocrats as well as Republicans, and at its close the speaker received the hearty congratulations of many of the ä members. On Saturday the debate was closed by a very able speech from Mr. Calk ins, who fully discussed all the legal points in the case, and demonstrated very clearly that Chalmers had not the least shred of a legal title to the seat which he had usurped through the con nivance of a dishonest Governor and corrupt election officers. Several votes were immediately taten on tne various questions involved in the case, and Mr. Lynch was declared the member-elect from the "Shoestring" district. He was escorted down the aisle to the Speaker's desk by Mr. Calkins, where the irom clad oath was administered by Speaker Keifer amid the congratulations and plaudits of the floor and galleries. Thus has ended one of the most celebrated election contests that have ever been brought before Congress, and, thanks to the fact that there is a Republican majority in the House, justice though long delayed, was not denied. Chalmers will go home a wiser if not a better man, to find new difficulties besetting his congressional aspirations. Mississippi has been recently redistricted, and he now finds himself in a district with eighteen thousand Republican majority. The Bourbon legislature evidently thought. he was the right man to overcome such an adverse majority. ... By this same redisricting gerrymander, Mr. Lynch is placed in a district with two thousand Democratic majority, but he is hopeful of overcoming it if there is a fair election. All of the Republican and Greenback members of the House present voted for Lynch, and all the Democrats for Chalmers, except Mr. Ellis, of Louisiana, who voted for Lynch. Speer, of Georgia, who was elected by the aid of colored Republicans, and who calls himself an Independent, voted for Chalmers. A meeting of colored bishops of the Methodist persuasion was recently held in Baltimore to take some steps toward effecting a union among the various branches of that church. All the delegates expected were not present, and nothing definite was accomplished beyond arranging for future meetiugs having that end in view. Fraternal delegates were also appointed to the Methodist General Conferences which meet this year. The Methodist church and all church organizations would certainly be much stronger, and could accomplish much more in their charitable and missionary endeavors, if they were not divided into so many contending factions, each one sure that it is the exactly correct one. This is especially true of our colored religious bodies. In almost every community however small, there is always found at least two feeble organizations generally the Methodists and Baptists struggling for life. United they could accomplish" something, but a they are, the most they can do is to keep each other weak. The best thing the Methodists and all other church organizations can do is to coalesce into as compact bodies as possible, so that their strength may be available to accomplish some good in the way of charity and benevolence. A movement is on foot in Boston to erect a monument to the memory of Colonel Robert G. Shaw, who fell in the assault on Ft. Wagner, Charleston Harbor, at the head of his gallant regiment, the 54th Massachusetts. Wealthy men are interested in it, and it will no doubt be carried out successfully. The Sunday question is more .easily handled in Washington than in some of our Ohio and Indiana cities. Everything is as quiet and serene here on the seventh dav as on a funeral holiday. Church going, promenading and pedestrian excursions to the country, together with lounging in the parks, are the usual Sunday occupations. The saloons are all closed, but it is said that by dexterous management a thirsty individual may now and then gain entrance to one of these "gilded palaces of vice," etc. The barkeepers, I am informed, wait on their customers without seeing them, there being a partition with a small opening for passing the fluid between them. As no man sees who waits on him, he can prefer charges against nobody. The Sunday question is never an issue here, because there is no popular election. If the District Commissioners order the saloons closed and Sunday properly ob
served according to the orthodox idea,
there is no alternative but to obey the behest for they have the courts and police at their beck to enforce these orders without the fear of an adverse re sult of an election. Hence, as a rule, Sunday is quietly observed according to the old fashion without any grumbling. Congress is moving slowly, the new Chinese bill, identical in purpose with the one vetoed except the ten instead of twenty year expulsion clause, will go to the President early this week, and may possibly receive his signature, though there is "doubt. A bill has passed the Senate granting lands in severalty to all civilized Indians. This should be only a precedent step to making them full-fledged American citizens with all ot its duties and responsibilities. This alone will solve our vexed Indian question. It is understood that Secretary Teller favors this plan, and will lend his hearty efforts towards carrying it out to the fullest extent possible. I had the pleacure this week of meeting W. H. Iletcher, Johnnie Howard, J. A. Watts and Geo. W. Walker, of the Slayton West Ideal Uncle Tom's Cabin troupe, who exhibited at Ford's Opera House this week. The abovenamed gentlemen are all well-known in Indianapolis, and I am glad to know they are succeeding admirably in their specialty. Indianapolis has reason to be proud of them. They have been as far West as Salt Lake and all over the North. They expect to be in Indianapolis about the middle of July. The seemingly interminable Tariff question is still under consideration in the House. A vote will probably be reached this week, The appropriations will be reached in a week or two. Memorial services to the memory of the late Henry Highland Garnett, will be held at the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church this week. The Rev. Dr. Crummell will deliver the oration. E. R. B.

Til IS INDIAN CAftLpAfti.
Colonel Fonythe'a Report of Ills Recent Operation with the Hostile Apaches The President Determined to Suppress the Outbreak. r Chicago, May 1. Lieutenant General Sherman furnished the following from the report of Colonel George Forsythe, on his recent operations against the hostile Apaches. The report is dated Stein's Pass Station, April 25: I fed my hones at 3 :30 a. m. on the 23d lnst, and watered as soon as possible from a tank car, which 1 had ordred from Sansimon Station. I got off at 6 o'clock and started directly across the Gila Plains to strike the direct road to bichmond, and I ordered Lieutenant McDonald to take the six scouts of the Craig Company mounted, and two enlisted men of Captain Callahan's Company, and try and cut any trails along the southeastern end of Stein's Pass. At his request. I dismounted one of his own scouts aud gave him Yuma Bill, who spoke excellent English and was regarded as our best Indian scout. 1 also tent our six dismounted Indians along the base of the same range, though father out in the foot hills. When about two or three miles from camp Lieutenant McDonald sent word that he had struck a trail twelve hours old of ten Indians dismounted, who were going in our irection. He also asked for an additional enlisted man. whom I sent An hour later he sent word that fifteen more Indians had joined the trail, aud had with them a mule and two horses. I sent back with, bis messenger two more enlisted men and continued my march. He had now turned the southern end of the puss aud was moving along the base of the range in a northwesterly direction, l was moving acrots the plain, and probably eighteen miles on my way, when one of the Indian scouts came in with his horse on a,deadrun, and stated that four ofthe8couts were killed, including Yuma Bill, and that Lieutenant McDonald and his men were standing off a large body of Chiricahuas, and I must hasten to save mem. I turned at once and trotted and galloped sixteen miles to the point indicated by the Indian. I met McDonald about twelve miles from where I started, who told me the scouts were falling back on foot, the Indians not following them. He had been chased closely by another small band of mounted Indians, w ho came near cutting him off. I soon came up with the rest of the party, wuo were all light, the attacking force of ludians having retreated on seeing my command approaching so rapidly. It seems the Apaches had Been the trailing party and ambushed them from the rocks filing upon them when not twenty feet distant and mortally wounded Yuma Bill and killed three others of the scouts instantly. Bill saw them about three or four seconds before they fired, and shouted, "Watch out. Lieutenant." and McDonaid was quick enough to turn bis body and horse's bead just as they fired, and was the only one of the advance party who escaped. I found the Indiaus strongly entranced on the west side of the canon and in the middle of it, which has an outlying mass of rock about 400 feet in height. A little to the right of the center Is a small line of rocks connectiug the left ana center. I realized at once that the body of Indians wad greatly In excess of twenty-five, and dismounting my entire force, formed two flanking parties, two companies each, moved one company direcUy iu their front as a left flank, Captain Davis commanding, and began the attack. In about an hour we flanked them out of both positions, and they took up a strorg second position, which we again drove them from, thence" back into ar:d up among the mountains and rocks of the canon. They-, scattered ail through the rocks, some firing from points 800, 1.200 and 1,600 feet above us, and mast of them evidently climbed from crag to era, and. I suppose, eventually worked Dack to tbe otuer side of the mountain range. I never s uch a rugged place, nor one better adsi tcd to defense. I was delighted to see bow v ry much superior marksmen our men were to the Apache. They never dared fire a third shot from behind any particular rock, as our men. soon as they could see where the shots came from, put their bullet right at the particular spot from which the shots cäme.Our people drove them to the very ei.d of the canon, and forced them back and over the ranee. The action lasted from 1 Uli half-past 3 oVlk, and our men were completely exhausted climbing the bides of mountains and going up the canon. The Apaches abandoned about thirty ponies and mules, and we killed ten or twelve the day of the fight, took some with us to mount our scouts, and yesterday, when I returned there, killed tbe rest; which were straying among the rocks. I concluded after the action was over that I had been fighting Indians who were on the way to join Geronimo, and help him bring down the women and children as the trail followed by McDonald was leading around the base of the range toward Richmond I therefore concluled to cross the Gila plain "hat nlht and go to Richmond, near where I hoped to find Loco, and Geronimo. 1 reached the main road, fourteen miles distance, at 11:30 a.m. on the 24tb. and within let than a mile came across a citizen on his way to Lordsburg from Richmond, who told me that the Indians bad left the Gila River and were evidently on their way to Mexico. Furthermore that the Gila River was eighteen miles distant. I at once made a dry camp as my horses were about exhausted. 1 here telegraphed you that I would go to the Gila for water, but in the morning I decided to come back here. At 6 a. m., a. m. I was joined by Captain Gordon, of the Sixth Cavalry .and sixty-two man, and Lieutenant Gatewood with twenty four Indian scouts; also, Lieutenant Hatfield, E Company. Fourth Cavalry. I took the back trail to this place via Horseshoe Canon, where there are two small springs at which my men got water for coffee, but scarcely any for the horses. In fact they divided their canteens of water with the poor animals. I rested four hours, made coffee, groomed horses and then pushed in here where I arrived at 9:30 p. m. I had telegraphed for forage and rations from my supplies at Separ and for two tanks of water, which were here on my arrival. My animals had marched seventy -eight miles (sixteen at a gallop over a rough country) and been forty hours without water. A few of them gave out but I hope they will follow on the trail this morning. We finished watering at 1 :30 a. m. thl s morning. I shall have to send for another tank of water to day. Half the horses refused to eat lost night, but they are all right this morning. I shall shove up and push out on the trail over one of the Stein Pass range of mountains and cross the railroad about eight miles below here, heading for the Chiiicahua range. They have a go d many animals with them. If you do not hear from me for some time give yourtelf ne uneasiness. I shall follow the trail persistently until I fight these Indians. Major Perry will probably send two companies of cavalry to follow and join me and Captain Chaffee with ten men and company. The Indian scouts will join me at Bowie Road Crossing on the trail. Please send the original report of the company commanders and a copy of my official reports also to Fort Cummings for rile. A few of my men are mutt be sent back, including one with broken ribs by a kick from a horse. Command is in first ' rate spirits, though somewhat tired. I expect Lieutenant Jiall ana nis inaian scouts to joiu me here this morning. Kind regards to all at headquarters. I am well satisfied with the officers and men of our regiment. There has not been a word of complaint from any source. Will leave here in Very respectfully and truly yours, (Signed) George S. Forsythe. To General R. S. McKenzie, Santa Fe, N. M. The President Determined. Washington. May 1. The President has derided to put down the Indian outbreak in Arizona as soon as possible, und has so exEressed himself to the Secretary of War, who as been instructed to take prompt and vigorous measures to that end. Orders have been issued for additional troops to proceed to the scene of trouble in Arizona and aid the troops there in preventing further acts of violence and bringing the hos tiles to speedy justice. These reinforcements Till consist of the First Infantry, now in Texas; Fourth Infantry, on the Union Pacific Railroad, Department of the Platte ; Third Cavalry, also in the Department of the Platte, and part of the Ninth Cavalry, Department of Missouri. The President is in earnest in the matter, and, in the words of a prominent Army oflicer, intends to make a "clean sweep." The probabilities are that the troops in Arizona and New Mexico will be united in command under a Brigadier General yet to be assigned to that duty. Ordered to the Front. Omaha, Neb., May 1.

A Tombstone dispatch says two men were killed by Indians at Dragoon Mountains Saturday. It is supposed a large number of hostiles are in the mountains. A large meeting was held here to-night to take action to raise volunteers. Several hundred dollars were contributed, and many volunteers enrolled. WIT AND PLKAS1NTKIES. Short courting: "Rachel, the Lord hath aent me to marry thee," aaid the suitor. "The Lord's will te done," waa the aubmiasive reply. Rev. Dr. W. N. Miner, of Trentcu, N. relates an anecdote of Abraham Lincoln which places him among the peace-makers. Dr. Miner was a resident of Springfield, and gives the narrative in the words of another resident: "I had some trouble with a neigh bor, and I determined to go to law with him.
"When I got to Lincoln's office I found my opponent was already there and had stated his case. I told my side of the story, and Lincoln then said: 'You have a good case to go to Court; but il you do you will both lose all your money and make yourselves At twnty,a mac is less a lover of woman than of women; he is more in love with the sex than with the individual, however charming she may be. Retif de la ßre tonne. "Woman," says Mr. Eastman, "is problem we can never hope to solve, it is one we shall never, never be willing to give up." Boston Transcript. An Indian evaogelUt asks: "Can a Republican get to heaven?' We hasten to tay that he can if he has the handling of the returns. Exchange. Rev. Dr. Cook, the Methodist Indian Agent Missionary, says he "feels more hopeful of the Indian now than he has felt during his ten years in the Rx-ky Mountains-' She confided to tim that she never wore anything but silk stockings when she went to dances. He said he had no doubt the costume was becoming, but ought not there be a little more of it? A San Francisco man has been arrestm!
for deceiving a widow. While his crime is to be abhorred, it must bo admitted that his genius commands admiration. Boston Post. A Chinaman stepped into a jewelry shop in San Francisco and asked for some 'consistencies." Being asked to explain himself, he said he didn't know what consistency was, but he had been told it was a jewel. Twenty years ago a Louisville man swore that he would never marry until women should acquire sufficient good, manners to go abreast over a crossing, and not occupy th entire width of the sidewalk. Tiie horrid wretch is still single. Courier-Jourtal. An equivocal entertainment "I'm so glad to meet you here, Captain Spinka and so. glad you're going to take me in to dlnnerl" (Captain S. is delighted ) "You're about the only man in the room my husband isn't likely to be jealous ofl" (Captain Spinks delight is no longer unmixed.) PuDch. Courtship Under Difficulties. A fair but faithless Parüienne naa devised a novel, ingenius and altogether satisfactory method of celebrating the 1st of April. Having for some time been pestered by the attentions o ' an aged beau, ehe finally consented to permit him to visit her on the day in question. Punctual to the hour he rang, all in hu gay attire he was ushered into the reception room and into the presence of the lady's husband and brother, one cf whom was plajing carelessly with his revolver while the other wa? putting an edge on a murderous-lookitg dagger. There was an awful silence for about a minute, when the husband emarked, carelessly, ,0h, you're the man that my wife said was to call to clean tha kitchen coppers, eh?" "Precisely," stammered the by no means gay Lothario, catching at this desperate hope. All right, step this way I" and the lover was led into the kit eben and set to work. At the end of his tagk, having ruined his new suit and sorely abraded his knuckles, he was summoned into the presence of Madame, who paid him three francs, promised to recommend him to her friends as a good workman, and desired the bonne to give the poor man a glass of something to drink.
