Ornur, Col., October 13.—The sheriff of Gunniaoo county, accompanied by a deputy United States marshal, went to the agency and arrested agent Berry for the outrage at Cline's ranche. The agent requested the marshal to accompany him to the military camp to procure an escort for protection, as he was afraid that the people of Gunnison'might avenge the death ot Jackson as soon ss he passed the line of the reeervstion. The officer remained all night in the military camp, he and the agent occupying the same bed. During the night the agent gave the officer the slip, ana disappeared.

Cline, arrested on a warrant issued by a justice ot the peace, was to give bond yesterday. Warrants are out for Berry, Holmes and Hajrt Great excitement Probably the populace will lynch the parties when arrested. I thought beet to issue the warrants myself, but was not positive about jurisdiction. Please advise me by wire. The men are in great danger. There is no positive evidence that Jackson was* killed, but various rumors are afloat that he was delivered to the Indians. • < District Attorney Johnson adds that he has advised the United States commissioner to issue the suggested warrants. The purpose is evidently to place the prisoners named within the jurisdiction of the United Statee aothoritses, and thus afford them protection against apprehended violence. The following telegram from the governor of Colorado was received at the Interior department to day: ~- Dbnvbb, Col , October IS. Hob.*Owl Behan. Secretary of the Interior, Wutlaftoa, D.C. It Is true great excitement prevails in western Colorado over the circumstaneee connected with the killing of a Ute and the subsequent murder of young Jaekaon by the Indian*. Shortly after the news reached me of the troubles on the reservation, I appointed two trustworthy men to examine all the facts of these homicides, and to report the circumstances to me. They have not yet reached Denver or made their reports. There are bnt five persons living who were* present when the Indian was killed, four white and one Indian. The statement of the four white men who were present is a| follows: They say the Indian who was shot, first began firing at the whites. That the white man ran behind the wagons to avoid the Indian, and that young Jackson, s rising a rifle that was in the wagon, shot at the Indian in self-defense. This was about half past seven in the evening, when U was qut e dark. The Indian and his companion rode off, and the freighters did not know he had been even wounded until the Bex day, a hen they were arrested by Agent Berry. The agent had fifteen soldiers, and about one hundred and twenty-five armed Indians were also present Young Jackson was disarmed ? by the agent end placed In custody of the soldiers. About two hundred federal soldiers who were being moved from the reservation were camped that night near where the prison was. Jackson implored their protection from the Indians until he could be safely landed in jail at Gnnnison City, the county seat, to await his examination and trial. The agent refused to allow this protection, aud permitted a detachment of soldiers to depart retaining only fifteen soldiers to defend the prisoner against the fury of over one hundred armed Indians. It is stated the agent said the troop* were there to protect Indians and not the whites. Young Jackson was tamed over to Cline, Hayt and Holmes to he token about sixty miles to Gunnison CUy, nearly half of this distance being over the reeervstion of Cline, Hayt and Holmes. They were am boshed after going three miles, and Jack sen was token away by the Indians. Cspt. Cline states in of his conduct that unless Use agent had surrendered Jackson to hire to be escorted by three men to Gunnison City, the Indians would have immediately massacred the fifteen soldiers, ten or fifteen other white men there, and Cline's own wife, children and grand-

children. - If these statements are true, there is not s civilized community in the world that would not, thrill with horror and indignation * mm lm been compelled to take the life of an Indian to save his own life, should be denied the protection of hie government tad tamed over to be tottttntdUMftkfltedby savages. The people of tk* Mote desire peace, bat they believe this tribe has ail the savage instincts of their raee -, that especially since Ouray’s death they neither fear nor respect the power of the general government, and that ss long as they remain in the state they will be a constant menace to the safety of the white men, women and children upon their border. They have seen roar after roar numbers of white people saordered by tribes without any successful effort being made by the gen oral government to pursue the guilty par ties. Only this year Mr. Meeker and his aeeeclatee at White River were maeeecreed in cold blood, end none of the murderers have been brought to justice, unless Douglass, who is confined at Fort Leavenworth, was one of them. Jackson, who killed the Indian, as he claims in self-defense, was swiftly arrested by the government agent, and whiles disarmed prisoner, ready to meet any charge against him, demanding the protection of this government, was token away by a tribe and doubtless mordered. Oar people do not believe that the life of an Indian is more valuable than the life of a white man. If the klUof am Indian by Jackson called for such summary action on the part of the officers of the government, then the persons who murdered Jackson ought to be speedily arrested and held for trial.

Columbus, 0., Oct. lo.—The Democratic state central committee and leading Democrats from this city and all sections of Ohio, about three hundred in number, met here to-day fer consultation. A great number of short speeches were made. The meeting was secret, all persons present being pledged to secrecy.

Resolved, That this meeting heartily cooperate with the state central and executive committee®, and be confiding enough to trust them and aid them in whatever action in their jndgmeut they may seem best to undertake in this campaign. Resolved, That we will continue to prosecute the canvnfa in the state with increased energy, and that the county committees be requested to thoroughly organize and to bring to the polls every voter who will vote for Hancock »nd English. The spirit of the meeting, ft U claimed, was excellent, and developed a determination on the part of Ohio to contest every lech of ground to give the electoral vote of (he state to Hancock and English.

Death Rate in various Occupations.

Nobody doubts that the occupation of an individual has much to do with his general health, and with his chances of death. Statistics prove that the death rate is lowest among scientists and professional men—not physicians; then follow Protestant clergymen, engineers, farmers and laborers; next carpenters, and workers in iron; then come schoolmasters, tobacconists, Physicians, and finally the clergy of the Roman Catholic church, among whom the mortality is , much greater than among the Protestant eleivy and the other professions named. Next we have druggists and butchers, then miners and glass manufacturers, plumbers and coppersmiths, railway employes and dock laborers, and last of all carmen, cabmen, horaekeepers, and inn-keepers, among whom the mortality is greatest, and much more than double that of the first mentioned, occupation. The deduction which may be drawn from these facts are very instructive and practically useful; they prove that the quiet pursuits of science tend to prolong life as well as outdoor labor, provided it is not on railways or among shipping or horses; that to work in iron u more wholesome than to work in lead or copger, ss might be expected, while the confined labor of a schoolmaster is as injurious as the state of celibacy of the Roman Catholic priest; lastly, the innkeepers, being moet exposed to the temptation of intemperance, have tho least chance for a long life, as well as those with whom they habitually keep company.—Matvufacturer and Builder.

A Few Useful Bules.

It is easy, of coarse, to keep your huebend’s love. In the first places never agree with him. When at home, keep yourself in a “bine” state. Take from him all the money he can spare, and even more. Flirt with every man you meet, if he—the man —gives you a chance. At the same time, be frantically jealous of him. Snub him and tyrannise over him in the presence of hi* bachelor friends before whom he is solicitous of appearing as the moet enviable man in existence, and to whoa he is particularly anxious to rehearse the delights of Benedictdom. The mortification he will feel at the frustration of his laudable desire will most assuredly produce a reaction in your favor. Should all other means seem likely to fail, become violently attached to your dear parents, and if they reside in a different city from that in which you live, spend all the time you poeeibly can with them, naking life dismal while you are at home with moans because you can’t see your dear parents every day. Should your husband manifest any dissatisfaction with this, open a private deluge at once and tell him that you never knew before that you had married a brute. By using all these means, your object kill soon be accomplished.

Few men reject girts who are ready to be wooed. The custom prevalent among a certain dais of young ladies of taking, directly, or indirectly, the attentions of young gentlemen, is not an admirable custom. “My son,” said s lady to me, not long since, “is much prejudiced against a young girl, whom I admire, because she is constantly sending him notes, inviting him to be nar escort here and there, and planning to have ■Him with her.” A modest, dignified reserve, which is .neither prudery nor affectation, should distinguish your manner to gentlemen. Too great kmiliarity and too evident pleasure in the society of young men are errors into which no delicate and pure-minded girl should 28, if she dedreto retain th?rrepedtof the oppomte sex. - .

Columbus, October 18.—No news of any importance has been received by either the republican or democratic committee. This morning revised figures show that the state is certainly republican by at least 20,000, and that the 15 republican congressmen mentioned in late dispatches last night are surely elected. Cincinnati, October 18 —Clinton county, Ohio, republican majority 1,618 $- republican gain 78. Fayette coonty, republican majority 684; republican gain 174Madison coonty, except 3 townships, republican gain 60. All republican county ticket elected except auditor. Columbus, 0., October 18.—All efforts thus far to obtain the definite majorities by comities have failed, the republican county commissioners evidently feeling that inasmuch as Ohie has gone republican there is little interest felt in exact figures. The democratic state committee refuse all attempts at interviews by newspaper correspondents, saying they know the state has gone republican, and that the republicans have swept every doubtful congressional district, and that is quite enough tor them to know. Geti. Nash, chairman of the republican state committee, is occupied today in answering congratulatory telegrams from all portions of the county, and he will not attempt any figuring on returns until to-night Crowds are now gathered about the bulletin boards, but the only interest manifested is in news from Indians.

Columbus, 0., October 14.—Very little interest has been manifested here to-day over the election newe, the Interest centering almost entirely In returns from Indiana. At the republican headquarters special telegrams havo been received from the chairman of committees in all bnt eight counties of Ohio showing complete retnrns on secretary of state and supreme judge. According to returns from these 80 counties: On vote for secretary of state, the republican gains are 7905 aud demo, cratic gains are 5657. Net republican gain over Foster’s plurality of 7129 is 2248 The net republican gain ~on supreme judge is 4449. The Counties yet to hear from are Bowen, Licking, Lucas, Ottawa, Perry, Pickaway, Ross and Sandusky. Partial returns from Ross and Lucas show considerable republican gains. The republican committee conclude from the above figures that Townsend’s majority for secretary of state will be close to 20,000, and Mcllvaine’s plurality for su. preme judge will be near 23,000. No figures aave been received showing majorities fiven for congressmen, but enough is nown to make th© committee feel sure that the republicans have elected 15 out of 20 congressmen. At the democratic headquarters there are returns from 70 counties, and these the Democratic committee claim show net Democratic gain of 1,573 on secretary of state over Foster’s vote. They say that ths same ratio will shew a net gain in tbe state of 2,002.

This did hoShave its effect upon the balance of the ticket, and thane* tbe average majority for all the other candidates wHI be tolly 28,000. Wight viatnitA Wnxune, W. Va-, October 18.—Reports front We*t Virginia are coming in slowly. Ind icatione are that the vepubiicans have reduced the democratic majorities in a number of the counties, bnt their

majority will not be much below 8,000 if any. The republicans depended upon a larger greenback vote being cast than was thrown. It seems that this party which claimed upward of 25,000 votes in the mate will not poll over hall that number on election day. They largely went back to thto two old parties. Hon. George C. Bturgiaa, the republican candidate for governor, ha* led his ticket considerable. He carrie* Wood county, the home of the Democratic candidate for governor bya handsome majority, although ft has been largely Democratic hitherto. Kanawha co. probably elects the entire Greenback ticket but is claimed by the Democrats by a small majority. Morgan county goes Republican tty an average of 180, about its usual majority. Brooke county gives Jackson Democrat for governor 79 majority, a laas of about 75 on tbe vote of tour years ago. Hancock county elects the full Republican by a majority of 126.

Fayette Is clamed by the Democrats by at least 800 majority. Taylor county elects Dawson, Democrat, to the legislature, but Unbalance of the republican ticket is clcoted by n majority of 100, A dispute about tbe location of the county court house occasioned the loss of the legislative candidate in this county. Marshall county gives 684 republican majority, a gain of over 100 on the vote of four years uo. Ohio county probably elects the entire democrat ticket. The vote is unusually large, and not yet fully counted. Monongahela county gives the republican ticket an average majority. Furbee, republican, is probably elected senator from the counties ot Wetsell, Marshall and Marion. Marion elects the Democratic ticket by majorities of 50 to 150. Doddridge coun3 Ur will probably elect the republican cket but is olaimed by both parties. The constitutional amendments are probably carried. Harrison county elects Moon, republican, prosecuting attorney, and sends one republican and one Democrat to the legislature,

Whbblino, October 14.—Only a few counties in this state have reported the result of the vote ot Tuesday in addition to those given yesterday. No reports of any consequence have been received from the great Kanawha valley region, where the greenback vote is principally located. The result of the vote in. the state, therefore, is the merest guesswork. If the greenbackers vote in the state does not exceed 15,000: Jackson’s plurality for governor will be about 19,000. The democrats here are claiming the state by from 12,000 to 15,000, and the chairman of the Republican Btate Committee concedes it by 8,000. In 1876 the democratic majority in the state was upwards ot 14,000, and the returns from most of the counties, thus far heard from, show republican gains the majority this year, this, but natural lo suppose, will fall considerably below these figures. The vote in Ohio county is not yet fully count, ed. The entire democratic ticket is elected by majorities from 80 up to 300. Ritchie county gives Sturgiss, rep, 230 majority,* gain oi 105. Lewis county gives Jackson, dem, 150 a loss of about 75 on the vote or four years ago. Grant county gives Sturgiss 470 majority, a republican gain of 80. Both parties are still claiming Harrison county. It will take several days to settle precisely how the state has gone. Melver and McConnell, republicans are elected judges in the first circuit. The amendments to the constitution are adopted by a large majority. The legislature will be democratic in both branches.

Listen to This, Chris.

Dr. Carbally, eminent physician and chemist, testifies that the cosmetics which the fashionable belles of the present day are so fond of using, and deem so indispensable to their oeauty, are the moet deadly enemies to the vital system. Paralysis, that fatal and frightful form oi bodily infirmity, is said to be the result of the continual use of the paint* or washes used for enameling or otherwise artificially whitening the skin. Dr. Carbally further tells us, seriously, that the peculiar droop of the hands, sarcastically ailed the ‘'kangaroo atyle,” and one which was supposed Ire the community to be a mere freak of fashion, really and truly had its origin in a partial naralytis of the extensor muscle of the forearm, produced by the use of those outward poisons. Some fashionable belle, no doubt, had suffered in this terrible way for her folly, and *U the fashionable geese of her acquaintance followed suit by crooking their wrists and drooping their hands, like so many hens with their wings broken. We learn also that all powders, paint and liquids which impart a polished, scintillating whiteness to the skin, contain metallic poisons, and are extremely perilous. The more beautiful, the more aaugeroua.

—The perceptive faculty of women Is asualiy keener than the same phrenological organ in man. Woman knows, or strongly believes, that beauty rgther than genius is worshipped by the sterner sex. A man may talk of the latter to his lady love, but the keenness of the woman knows he is thinking of x the former in his heart. Women have an innate desire to please their beaux. They are fond of admiration, hence one of fceir longings is to be beautiful; to be called pretty, handsome. The grand secret of female beauty is health; the secret of health is the power, the appetite to eat, digest and assimilate a proper quantity of wholesome food; yet, m connection with this there is something more important— which will efeanaeand tone The vital organs, gain perfect digestion, purify the blood, dear the coniplexion and produce a state of mental ana physical electricity, which gives symmetry of form, bright eyes, white win ana glossy hair, the last a genuine type of female beauty and loveliness which no cosmetic can , eves produce. . '** ‘ "The wise daughterly the pride of her father; yea, her mother also doth delight in her, but tho fbqlish maiden bringeth sorrow.” She bangeth her hair over her right eye; she tippeth her hat on the back of her head. When evening cometh she walketh on Main street, with her left eye she glanceth at the patient youth who cougheth on the curb and wipeth her nose with a red bandanna. Her handkerchief also is seen. Then the youth smileth to himself and follow•th In her footsteps. She setteth a snare and scoopeth the wayfarer in,

Such a culinary exertion in elaborate evening dresses must have an important cause.

Names of Countries.

The following countries, it is aalst, were originally named by the Phoenicians, the greatest commercial people in the world. The names, in the Phoenician language, signified something charteristic of the places which they designate. Europe signifies a country of white complexion; so named because the inhabitants were of a lighter complexion than those of Asia and Africa. - Asia signifies between, or in the middle, from the fact that the geographers placed it between Europe ana Africa. Africa signifies the land of corn, or ears. It was' celebrated for its abundanoe of corn, and all sorts of grain. Siberia signifies thirsty or dry—very characteristic.

It was once so infested with these anijala that it sued Augustus fer an army to destroy them. ~ Italy, a country of pitch, from its yielding great quantites of block pitch. Calabria, also, for the same reason. Gaul, modern France, signifies yellowhaired, as yellow hair characterised its inhabitants. The English of Caledonia is a high hill. This was a rugged, mountainous province in Scotland. Hibernia is utmost, or last habitation; for beyond this, westward, the Phoenicians never extended their voyages. Britain, the country of tin, great quantities being found on it and adjacent islands.

Arab Maxims.

Let your colt be domesticated and lire with you from his tenderest age, and when a horse he will be simple, docile, faithful and inured to hardship and fatigue. Do not beat your horses, nor speak to them in a lona tone of voice: do not get angry with them, but kindly reprove their faults ; they will do better thereafter, for they understand the language of man and its meaning. If you have a long day’s journey, spare your horse at the start; let him frequently walk to recover ms wind. Continue this until he has sweated and dried three times, and you may ask of him whatever you please, he will not leave you in difficulty. Observe your horse ,when he is drinking at a brook- If in bringing down his haul he remains square, without bending his limbs, he possesses sterling qnsliiee, and all parts of his body are built symmetrically. 7 Four tilings he must have broadfront, chest, loins and limbs; four things long—neck, chest, fore arm and croup; four tilings short—pasterns, back, eats and tail.

4ln Presque Isle County, toward Mack* inac, is a beautiful lake, bight Grand Lake, on whose shore stands a club* house owned by sundry fish-loving citizens of Adrian, Michigan. The country around is pretty much as nature made jt-rough—and the few backwoodsmen living there are much like the country. One of them, named Crawford, was lately electeo justice of the peace. A wood-chopper made complaint that a certain raftsman had beaten him, and asked for a warrant for the offender’s arrest. The justice’s entire stock of legal blanks consisted of a summons and a subpoena. After spending some time vainly in trying to make these papers fit the case, he got mad, flung down his papers, and addressed the complainant “See here, mister, this Court is bound to see justice, done in this township. You pay me two dollars and a half, costs of court, show me the man, and the Court will lick the devil out of him in two minutes.” Complainant paid the cotta end pointed out the man. The “Court,” with majesty on his brow and his sleeves rolled up, wtent for the offender, and in sixty seconds thrashed him to the full content of both parties. The Court then put on his coat, and remarked that “he was a peace officer, and wished it understood that thia Court would preaerve the peace , and any man who thought he could raise thunder in that neck of woods would have to try the case with the Court personally.” No other case has since been tried by Squire Crawford. The Londen board of trade returns for the month of September shows the value of imports into the United King dom to bo £6,800,000 in etceas of the same month last year, and dm value of exports £2,635,000 in excess) of the saute month last year.

Duches of Marlborough.

Bntli Jennings, Duchess of Mari barengh. Not only was she beautifhl, but witty and vivacious. Her conversation was interesting, and a vein of keen but delicrie satire often gave to was bat sixteen When she first appeared at the Court of the Duchess or York. A crowd of adorers was soon sighing at her feet; James himself being amongst the most ardent of worshipers at the shrine of the new divinity. Unavailing, however, were hi. sighs and hia languishing airs to win her smiles and geod graces; and the profligate bigot was soon made to comprehend that,*though engaged in the servids of hi* duchess, “la belle Jennings” was not at all disposed to engage in his. Her conduct occasioned unspeakable in Charles’ fioentioos Court. A young girl who was both beautiftil and virtuous waa there a phenomenon, and the king thought it something so novel, so piquant, that he had a fiuiey to attempt to prevail where his brother’s powers of seduction had friled. After tne duke’s death the duchess lived in peat seclusion at Marlborough House, which she held by a lease es fifty years from the crown. Within the first year and a half of her widowhood she had offers of marriage from Lord Coningsby and the Duke of Somerset; the latter waa persistent, saying he had admired her for years. She was then sixty-two, hut still very handsomeHer beautiful hjsir was unchanged in selor. which she attributed to her constant use of honey-water. She, nowever, very properly replied to her suitors that she was toe eld to marry again. “Were L” she said to the Duke of Somerset, i>ut thirty insteed of past sixty, I would not consent that an emperor mould succeed to a place in my heart, which was wholly given to the Duke of Marlborough* She survived all her children except the youngest—the Duchess of Montagus —and lived en untroubled by file infirmities incidental to old age until 1741, when she was taken ill, and so seriously that she believed death to be near at hand. But she recovered, and survived three yean longer; her death ’occurring on the 30th of October, 1744, in hsrstehty-flfthyear. “Old Marlborough is dying,” said Horace Walpole, a few days before her death occurred; “but who ean tell 7—last year when she had lain a great while without speaking, the physician said: “She must be blistered or she will die ;** she called out, “I won’t be blistered, «nd I won’t die. She, however, did not fear death. She said “there was one great happiness in dyia& that one would never near more of anything that was done in this world.” Lady Wortley Montague and the Countess of Bute often spent their mornings with htr. She herself had quite given up going into society, in which she had never taken delight, so absorbed had she been by affairs of state. Her interest in >olitics remained. In her boroughs of Woedstock and St. Albans she put whom she pleased. Sir Robert Walpole and Queen Caroline were the chief objects of her political hate and invective. Of the former she writes: “’Tis thought wrong to wish anybody dead; but I hope ’tis none to wish he may be hanged for having brought to ruin so great a coun-

Slovenly Manuscript.

I have the misfortune to nave a manuscript before me at this moment, says John Morley, in the Fortnightly Review. that would fill thirty of these pages, ana yet from beginning to end there is no indication that it is not tb be read in a single breath. The paragraph ought to be, and in all good writers it is, as real and as sensible a division as the sentence. It is an organic member in prose composition with a beginning, a middle, and an end, just as a stanza is an organic and definite member in the composition ode. “I fear my manuscript is rather disorderly,” says another, “but I will correct carefully in print.” Just so. Because he is too heedless to do his work in a workmanlike way, he first inflicts fatigue and vexation on the editor whom he expects to read his paper; second, he inflicts considerable and quite needless.expense on the publisher; and thirdly, he inflicts a great deaPof tedious and thankless kbor en. the printers, who ai% for the most part far mors meritorious persons than fifth-rate authors. It is true that Burke returned such disordered proofs that the printer usually found it the least troublesome to set the whole afresh, and Mias Martinean tells a story of a Scotch compositor who fled from Edinburgh to avoid a great living author’s manuscript, and, to nis horror, was presently confronted with a piece of copy which made him cry, ‘Xord have mercy ? Have you got that man to Mint for I” But most editors will cheerJblly forgive such transgressions to all contributors who will guarantee that they will write aa well as Burke and Carlyle. Alaa, it is usually the case that those who have least excuse are the worst offenders. Hie slovenliest manuscripts come from persons to whom the difference between an hoar and a minute is of the very smallest importance. This digsstion is to be excused, partly by the natural desire to say i> word against one’s persecutors, ana partly by a hope that some persons of sensitive conscience may be led to ponder whether there may not be, after all, some moral obligations even towards editors anti printers.

Working Than off in Style.

In the palmy days of the old New Jork Fire Department, the funeral of « deceased member was made the occasion for a general gathering of “the boys,” and a public sobbing for his decease, accompanied by music, and a series of resolutions “onto his memory.” “Aunty,” mid the foreman of a fire company, to which her son, who had just died, belonged—“aunty,” we can't bury Chawlc to-morrow, ’cause the boys are going on apicnic. He’a aa sweet as a nut, and .tiD Thursday e-a-e-y ; then we’ll watts him of in etyle!” , Something of thia sort, though a little more refined, occurred in England. The occasion was the burial of a rather eccentric half-pay naval officer, who had, while in the flesh, sustained a lively quarrel with the rector of the parish, pie arrangements were made long before death took place, and the funeral, when the day came, was conducted in the grounds or the house by a Dissenting minister. The company, none of whom wore mourning, then retired to the draw, ing-room, where a musira programme was gone through. One of the lady artisUt waa specially engaged for this perform, ance a month before the half-pay gentle man “went aloft” The proceedings eon. eluded with a sumptuous luncheon.
