Allepdorf aay he left hia home in Lian 00 * Brt T, ■ Mires, saves weeks ago with seventeen others, on an expedition in search of minerals, which they found at the he*l waters of the Gunnison river In rich placers, which yielded $2,000 to $4,000 per oat. On May Bd, while the party was widely ■cattercd, the Indians, mounted, and 600 strong, galloped down upon the camp, and after uasitrdag the whole party, cut their bodies into pieces. Allendorf witsensed the affair from the mountain whither he had gone hunting. TheUtea carried of ail the gold and whole outfit Allendorf escaped and walked for several days until he reached, a settlement. He gives the following as the names of the murdered men: Charles and John Andrews, Ellis Morlan, James Henderson, John and Isaac Dittmort, Martin Fleming, Peter Amberg, Fred and Louis Snell, Edward Mason, ' Philip Jackson, Josiah Warner, Jesse Jeny, Adam Homer sod Julios Terry. Mr. Allendorf confesses that his story had been discredited by the settlers to whom he told it, and who attributed it to s disordered brain* • Telegrams received at Leadville yesterday state that men coming from the reservation to Lake City report a party of twenty-five prospectors corraled in Gunnison and twelve Killed. This is supposed to be Bradbury’s party, that left Del Norse three weeks ago. General McKenzie's column is on the way to the scans. A letter from Beqnache says the Utes are reported to have killed twelve miners forty miles west 'of that place, and troops from Fort Garland-are en route thither.

All these stories are subject to deubt, and cannot be verified soon, as the roads are in a terrible condition, bat it la believed the Indians are making prepara tions for the warpatb, and stirring news is expected soon Wnsr Fonrr, May 16 —ln an * interview to-day Whittaker states that laat evening he was invited to General Scofield V house, the latter saying he had sent for him to say there was considerable hard feeling against him, and asked him it he had nothing more to say, or wished to make any confession; and if he did, that would be s good time to do it. Whittaker teplied that he had nothing further to say; that he had told all he knew, anl It was the troth, and that if he hadn't told the truth and desired to confess anything, Gen. Scofield would be the first mas he would go to, oo account of the general’s uniform kindness tnwasds him. Whittaker said the general advised him to collect all letters he had written lately, because in that way it might be possible to ascertain who it was that had simulated his hand writing. He said the general told him he had hia best wishes, and Whittaker judges from that remark that the general believes he is innocent, or he never would have ■aid it Whittaker was asked how be accounted for some.of the discrepancies in his statements, and he said he could . not account for them. He argued that the presence of the discrepancies showed he was honest, for, said he,"lf I had invented the story 1 would have learned it by heart, and then there woufd have bee a no dis-

crepancies.” He was asked how it was he never noticed that the writing in the note of warning was like his own. He said he never thought of it, and if he had written it he would not have exhibited U to four or five persons. He was asked what he thought of the experts discovery—that both of the sheets were of one paper ? He said that didn’t amount U> anything, because all cadets use the same kind of paper, and that he wanted to say that he found the note of warning on hia chair by the aide of hia table in the evening- He was in the habit of tearing whole sheets into halves to write on, and the person who wrote the note might have come to his room and taken a piece of hia paper, and with many samples of hia hand writing before him might have forged the note. General Scofield ■ays that as the report el the court is to be presented to him he doea not want to aay anything on the subject Any reports of fears of disorderly action by the cadets against Whittaker are premature, aa it ia the understanding among them to allow the coart to take care of the whole case. Prof. Greener still claims that Whittaker is innocent, and says he has some important points which,he intends to make known, over hia own signature, bat not to the court. J

The pOwer of Music.

We may oollect engravings, writes Mr. Nettleship, in “Hellenics,” and photographs, and china, and make onrselves learned m the history of art; we may found museums and institutes, and spread casts of Venus and Apollo through the land; we may give thousands of pounds for pieces of clever vulgarity; but we shall not make English lire much more beautiful or Joyous, unless we can produce art which will educate the nation to see with its eyes and to hear with its ears the country in which it dwells and the history which it inherits. It is in music perhaps, that the outlook is least discotxraging. Here there Is a possibility of acting upon large masses with some effect; here social,distinctions are less felt; here, too, the English nature seems to show more aptitude and susceptibility. We can hardly hope to make our great towns beautiful, but it is not chimerical to look: forward to a time when they may each have-their ocheatra and chorus, and adequate provisions for hearing them. There Sao need to quarrel about the precise educational effect which modern music has pr may have. That it has aome such efffect will not be denied, except by those who wish to keep It to themselves, or by those who are irritated at the stupidity of !t2tta33S£'.S&3r& diffleutty of formulating it; is neither a proof Of its unreality nor an argument against utilizing it. Everybody who is at all Mfiteptikle to maaie knows that he is better for having it and worse for being, without iLI ho ako nrobablv knows that the composer whom the world has agreed to call great are, some or all of them, thoee to whose, music he most likes to listen; more than this, he need not be able to say, for a fact is not more of a fact* by being talked or written about. If it be one* Cully recognized that music has a great emotional power over a considersble of English people, the proper application of the power becomes a public duty, and it is only a question ot time to discover the beat ways of doing it

Apples for Shipmant.

numbers, however, arrived here la a bruised condition from tee effects of careless pecking. A certain amount of for“Newtoo plppins” and others have been exported by private individuals to their friends in England, than when they are packed by the regular tradesmen. There is no reason why this splendid fruit should iVSheSSd^tee tree. A common bat soft kind of tissue paper should envelop each apple before* it is placed in tee cask, aad tala tissue paper should have been soaked la a solution of salicylic acid and dried before it i* used. The beat preparation of salicylic acid for this purpose is the alcoholic solution,made with the strongest spirits, and then dihrtsd wfthrea much water as it will

bear without precipitating the acid, so as to make the solution go as far as possible. Each apple should be enveloped in at least tame or four folds of the salieyated paper, and every possiole precaution should bo taken to prevent bruising when loading into casks or cases. Well-packed apples should not move at all daring tad voyage and the shaking of a railway train should have little effect upon them. Nevertheless, a certain amount ol contusion is inevitable, and to avoid the ulterior results of this, the salieyated paper is indis pensable. As to the cost, it would be a mere trifle when we consider the result gained and the splendid condition of the vnit when it enters the London market. Besides, it is very probable that the salicylic acid paper used for packing the apples in America might be used over again or applied here in England to some familiar antiseptic purpose and an allowance made for it accordingly.

Cyclones.

Recent observations and speculations on the phenomena of cyclones seem to confirm the theory of their electrical nature and origin: Within the last fifteen years they have increased in number if not in individual destructiveness. They may be accompanied by wind and storms or they may not be. They follow lines es railroad and water courses, having a great affinity for anything metalic on their path and lapping up the water from ponds and ditches along their way. They will tear off a tih roof, but leave a shingle roof uninjured. They will twkt off the iron smoke-stack of,a mill and leave the building otherwise unharmed. Persons caught in them find ffieir hands and faces colored dark or yellow iu a manner to require weeks to bleach out again. In a remaikable West India tornado, the houses encountered were not bloWn over, but burst outwaid. The branches of trees are found frayed with the ends like little brooms and the bark ofl not only on the side towards the path es the cyclone but all round the trunk. Why? Because the negative electricity in the tree suddenly developed to meet its positive counterpart in the moving stormcloud gasified the sap in the twigs and under the bark with the result above mentioned. The weight of inductive evidence of late years goes to show that the term eydone is a misnomer, and that the phenomena of these recently too frequent visitations are- to be studied from the standpoint of magnetic art and electrical science. This is Edison's peculiar province,! and| now that] he has given us the electric light, if he has done so, would it not be well for him to turn his attention towards warding off or dissipating cyclones and tornadoes? The light-ning-rod man has been in bad odor with the farmers of late. Indeed, like Othello, he has almost found his occupation gone; but may be the increasing ruin wrought by cyclones will revive his drooping industiy.

Cruelty to a Servant Girl in Lawrence.

A case of outrageous cruelty to a servant girl has just come to light iu Lawrence. Thp victim, whose name is Etta Wood, wai discovered Tuesday hailing plaintively a passer-by from the cellar window of a boarding house at 87 Jackson street, kept by a Mrs. Jennie Kennon, where the girl had been for some months engaged as a servant Her braised and bleeding arms extended from the window, and she begged piteously that the police be notified ot her condition. The police being informed of the case by a woman whom the girl had spoken to, visited the house next day and found the object of their search cowering in a corner of the cellar cleaning pans. Her oondition was horrible. She was clad in rags, and her folded sleeves exposed her arms covered with braises. Behind the door the officers found a bed of filthy rags on which the girl said she slept The girl was given into the charge of some benevolent ladies, who on examination found her body to be a mass of braises. The gill is 30 years old, and has the appearance of having been worked almost to death. She states that she was always obliged to rise from her filthy bed in the cellar at 1 o’clock in the morning and accuses Mrs. Kennon, who is a widow, of beating her with the meat mallet and potato masher. She Btates that she has a mother and sister residing in Somerville, from which place Mrs. K jnnon brought her.

Mrs. Kennon was arraigned in the Police Court Wednesday, and pleaded not guilty. The evidence of the girl and the physician who examined the injuries showed that the most revolting acts of cruelty had been perpetrated upon the gin. Mrs. Kennon was.held in 98,060 to answer both complaints at the next term of the Superior Court, and in default of bail she was taken to jail. Mrs. Kennon haa one child, * boy XI yearn oW. Etta Wood, the victim, Is being kindly cared for at thehouse ot City Misrionary Dunning.— Btar.

Corsets in Court.

A correspondent of the Louisville Cour-ier-Journal tells a story of a case in regard to a patent on a corset, which recently came up in the United Btates Supreme Court. The judges of this august court are all very grave and dignified gentlemen, and the black silk gowns which they wear add to the solemnity of their bearing. The corset patent was a delicate subject to bring into this august court, but the contending parties had gone to law on the question ss to whether “coutil” was cut on the straight or bias and in regard to the whalebone casings. One patentee claimed that he had improved upon the original design; that the first patentee’s corsets placed whalebone inside the casing, and that it had to be fastened with a needle and thread; that his patent had the advantage of an invention which closed up the top and bottom ofthe opening. The lawyer who was arguing the case brought a lot of the corsets into court ana distributed them to each or the judges that they might examine the invention aa he explained it The novd spectacle was presented of each one of these gentlemen timidly scrutinizing the mysteries ofthe bias and straight and pushing whalebones in and nut of the essinga. The shrinking modesty of Judge Strong was evinced by the blush which ton. .. / :.y. 3452 ' fwt •4 •' •• i f-' d,i■ * ' » e £-■- r -- soldiers are pillaging in Ron

The Wool Trade.

It la not only in iron; but in wool, that our American tariff is building up our industry and paying operators generally. The Liverpool correspondent of the New York Trows gives an account of the competition between the American and EngHah buyers. Agents of the manufacturers in the United States, at the late wool sales In London, purchased so largely and at such high prices as to confound the English manufacturer, who sees no prospective, profit in making goods from such costly material. Net only this, hot machinery In actual operation has been purchased for importation to this country. The English have substantially lost the earpet Our laborers should be protected, and for this purpose a tariff should be contip. ued to keep the products of cheap European labor from competing with ours. But there are a few things which no nation can afford by any act to stimulate to a high price, and yet prosper. They are iron, bread, fuel and clothing. These are ril necessaries of life, and not the luxurl”riier mi HIL life at »Dproachable*pricee! n6oemsrimai
