The sale of liquor in Carrollton was pro
hibited by law In 1875. The Wesleyan
•o ™52? w Advocate says that before that time
f-iO.OOO worth of whisky was sold in the
^7“ each year. “Now, 1 ’ says that paper,
this $30,000 is expended in paying taxes,
supporting schools and churches, draining
lands, building houses and improving farms.
Trade has increased fifty percent. New
improvements are constantly going on.
First class people are being attracted to the
county from other sections. The farmers
are nearly all out of debt. The courts have
comparatively little to do. The Solicitor of
this judicial circuit says there is less crime
in Carroll than in any other county In the
circuit. In a moral point of view, the re
sults are more wonderful still. The town
has been almost completely transformed.
Nearly everybody has joined the church.
Profanity is almost unknown. On the train
that comes dally into Carrollton, not an offi
cer or train hand on it ever swears an oath.
The soberness and quiet that prevail here
strike V’sbors as being wonderful. Col.
Thos. Hardeman and Maj. Charles H. Smith,
•Bill Arp,’ were here at a barbecue in the
summer, and they remarked that they had
rarely seen three or four thousand people
together before without seeing somebody
drunk.”
Says the Cuthbert Appeal: “The late rains
have seriously damaged the crops in many
sections of the country. Tn our immediate
section the damage sustained was very
heavy. Farmers from the upper part of the
county^toM us yesterday that the corn and
peas were sprouting In the fields, and that
the pea crop would be almost an entire
failure. Much of the cotton was blown out
and Is sprouting on the ground. Oue farmer
told us that his cotton was sproutiug in the
bolls. The sunshine which came out so
beautifully last Tuesday will doubtless give
everything a more cheerful appearance, and
we trust their fears will not be realized.”
Crawfordville Democrat: “We understand
that some of our farmers are making pre
parations, and some are already sowing
large crops of small grain. Remember that
your small eraiu crops are to be your salva
tion next year, and where you designed to
plant one acre plant ten. Put in every
available foot of land you have; do not let a
little rise in cotton divert you from your
purpose to plan^ provision crops, aud now
is the time to commence.”
Says the Oglethorpe Echo: “Prospecting
in our gold region continues with unabated
ardor. Practical miners are constantly ar
riving, and th«* Fiat Woods have grown Into
a miniature Black Hills. The woods are
being thoroughly examined for rich leads,
and some verv encouraging traces are found.
Work at the Guarantee mine is progressing
slowly but surely, and In ten days it is
thought the stamp mills will be under full
headway and the work of extracting the
precious metal begin in earnest. An im
mense pile of ore has been taken out, aud
two tunnels arc following what is thought
to be the vein that feeds the Golden Vale.
The spirits of the miners are high, and we
hope tu a few days to definitely determine
the value of our bidden wealth.”
On the subject of immigration to Georgia,
the Columbus Enquirer says: “At last we
have some action which promises some
good to Georgia. The last Legislature
passed a bill authorizing a Commissioner of
Immigration whose office is located in New
York. Most States have such officers lo
cated in their own capital, but Georgia more
wisely has adopted the metropolis of this
continent as headquarters. Hon. Francis
Fontaine, of this city, is the Commissioner
appointed. He is a young imu of superior
intelligence, who was elected by this dis
trict a member of the last constitutional
convention of the State, llaviug been a
farmer and editor be is acquainted with the
class of people our State desires and those
that would be contented and prosperous
within her borders. Under his management
we need not fear the introduction of a body
of paupers and vagrants iu our mid-t.
We can, however, expect a population
that will add to the value and industry of
the commonwealth. It is very probable that
with endeavors properly directed the tide
may be turned this w’ay, and our soil be tilled
ami made to flourish like the rose by the
farmers of the Eastern and Middle States.
Many would like to locate in a climate more
temperate than theirs, and with faclliiles
supplied for the purchase of land*, aud pre
judices removed, we may anticipate a large
gain from this movement. It must be large
ly encouraged by land owners. An Inter
view published elsewhere gives the general
scope and plans of operations proposed,
w bleb appear to us to be admirable. With
proper exertions Georgia has a bright future.
We may not get much from Europe, but we
c in secure a better people from the North,
East and West.”
In regard to the $5,000 reward offer
ed by the State for the capture and bringing
to Georgia for trial of William I^loyd Garri
son, as a stirrer up of sedition, in-urrection
aud bloodshed, the Atlanta Constitution has
searched among the State archives »t the
cspitol and found the action of the Legisla
ture on the subject. On page 116 of the
Senate journal for Saturday, November 26,
1S31, appears the following: “Mr. Nis-
bet laid upon the table the follow
ing resolutions: Resolved by the Senate
aud House of Representatives of the State
of Georgia in general assembly met, That
the sum of thousand dollars be aud
the same is hereby appropriated, to be paid
to any person or persons who shall arrest
and bring to trial, under the laws of this
State, the editor or publisher of a certain
paper called the Liberator, puhlLhed in the
town of Boston, and State of Massachu
setts; or who shall arrest and bring to trial,
under the laws of this State, any other
person or persons who 6hall utter, publish
or circulate within the limits of this
State, said paper, called the Libera

that these resolutions be inserted in the ap
propriation act. And resolved further,
That His Excellency the Governor cause the
foregoing resolutions to be published in the
public journals of tlrs State, and such other
papers as he may think proper, and pay for
the publication thereof out of the contin
gent fund.” These resolutions were after
wards, on the 30th of November, taken up
by theSenate, the blauk filled in with “five.”
On the 24th of December they passed the
House by a vote of 43 yeas to 28 nays.

The/ie thinks that one of the greatest necc&

It bas heard of instances where inen have
paid as much as five per cent, a month for

very long, but they are nevertheless some

The colored people of Leon county held a
mass meeting iu Tallahassee last week for
the purpose of discussing the exodus ques

definite conclusion regarding it. The meet

subject until the 13th day of December
next.
.According to statistics furnished the Live
Oak Bulletin by the Superintendent of
Schools of Suwannee county, during
the scholastic year ending September 20,
there have been forty schools taught, and
according to the teachers’ registers there
were 1,348 children that attended school,
with an average attendance of 940 pupils, of
whom 775 were white and 573 colored, the
whites having 26 pupils per school and the
colored 14 schools, with an average attend
ance of 41 pupils. The number of teachers
employed were 40, of whom 25 were male
and 15 female, 26 white and 14 colored
teachers, at a total cost of $2,552 69. Of this
amount $1,69186 bas been paid, leaving
$850 83 due October 1, 1879, a portion of

C. T. F. Clarke, the colored editor of the
Key West Disjxitch, has been arrested, and
now lies In jail on the charge of having,

The past summer in Key West was the

The Seminole Indians in the south of
Florida have threatened to kill a young boy
of their number, known as Little Billy,
because he persists in going to school at
Fort Myers and learning to read, write and
speak English. They denounce him a
deserter to his tribe. The Key West Key
says that the Indians must be taught that
their tribal laws will not be permitted in
Florida. They can ostracise Little Billy if
they choose, but if they kill him the tribe
“ will be destroyed as the prairie grass be
fore the summer fires,” for their conduct
would be resisted by every citizen in the
southern part of the State.
Says the Gainesville Bee: “On last Mon
day a colored man named Daniel Johnson
was slightly wounded in the leg by W. D
Lewis, a white man, about three miles south
east of town, uuder the following circum
stances: It seems that Johnson is a stranger in
these parts, and was seen by Lewis early in
the morning lurking around his place in a
most suspicious manner. At noon Lewis, in
company with three colored men, was return
ing from a squirrel hunt, when he observed
Johnson some distance ahead of him in the
road. He called to the colored man to halt,
and he failing to do so, Lewis fired upon
him with the above result. Lewis was ar
rested and is in jail.”
The Tallahassee Patriot says : “The South

8ays the Fernandina Express : “If we are
to judge from appearances, the business out
look for the coming season is very bright.
Merchants of this city and aloug the line of
the Transit Road, are receiving large con
signments of goods, and notwithstanding
the partial failure of the crop*, cotton is
pouring northward, and is, we believe,
commanding good prices. The fruit crop is
large and the dematid is good. Oranges in
small quantities are now being shipped, aud
the business of shipping will soon be at its
height. The fortunate possessors of orange
groves will reap a rich harvest.”
Says the Key West Dispatch: “Six col
ored and one white man have been shipped
to Fort Myers to work out the amount of
their sentences for various crimes commit
ted iu this city against the peace and digui»y
of the State. This act of the County Com
missioners is founded upon necessity, as
our jail Is filled to repletion, and room had
to be made. There is economy in this
measure, as it costs no little to maintaiu
prisoners here, and insures the county the
amount of their sentence. We are sore that
every right minded citizen will approve of
this measure.”
Jacksonville Braze: “We were shown
to-day by Mr. A. I. Bldwell, of the famous
Arlington Nurseries, two persimmons, the
smaller one being 2% inches In diameter.
This was of the Nihon Japanese variety,
and the other 3}-^ inches in diameter of the
Mikado variety. Tke trees have been trans
planted eighteen months, and are two and
a half years from the seed. One of the
above was grown by Mr. E. H. Hart, of
Federal Point, and the other by Mr. Bid-
well, at his nursery. Mr. B. informs us that
he considers these persimmons a great ac
quisition to our fruit growing interests.
Every old field where the native persimmon
flourishes without culture may be grafted or
budded, and made into a thrifty orchard of
this delightful and healthy fruit.”
Leesburg Advance: “Not long since one
of the Captains on the St. John’s river or
dered a coat from a Palarka merchant, and
when the coat arrived it did not correspond
with the order; it was accordingly returned
and the desired pattern sent. After the Cap
tain had worn it fora week or more he called
ou the merchant to makesettlemeut, but the
merchant wanted more than the price first
agreed upon, and the Captain naturally re
fused to ante and offered to give the coat
up ; but this did not exactly corre>pond with
the merchant’s ideas of business, and the
offer was refused. A day or two after, suit
was entered aud judgment gained, but some
how the Captain got wiudof it, and the next
tiling heard he was married, which prevent
ed the merchant from interfering with his
salary. This was a sudden turn of affairs,
and the merchant saw plainly that he was
euchred. The Captain says if the merchant
is satisfied with his judgment, he is satisfied
with his wife and uew coat.”
In Saturday morning’s Sun and Press ap
pears a card from Mr. Ralph E. Hoyt, who
intended to start a greenback paper in Jack
sonville, but who abandoned the hopeless
enterprise before he began It, in which he
says: “I came nere upon the urgent solici
tation and glowing representations of one
M. B. Bartholomew, expecting to here find
a home and a business opening in what I
still believe is a splendid climate. I found,
on investigation, nothing as he had represented
it to me—except the climate. Hence I see
nothing left me but to return to my native
North. The newspaper which I was to pub
lish—concerning which Mr. Bartholomew
has done so much heavy wind work—will
not be issued by me, and I shall take good
care that he does not humbug any other
man Into coming here on his false representa
tions. His unfortunate movement has dam
aged me to the extent of several hundred
dollars, which I can ill afford to lose. But
as Bartholomew is utterly irresponsible, as
well as unreliable, I am obliged to submit.”
Mr. Hoyt was served exactly as he wanted
to serve the public. He wanted to advocate
the unlimited issue of worthless paper
money, and Mr. Bartholomew only made
him a lot of promises fully as valuable as
the “promises to pay” which Hoyt is so
auxious to see circulated as currency.
A correspondent from Bcauclerc Bluff,
Duval county, writes to the Jacksonville
Union, saying: “Twenty-five thousand
orange trees are set out in groves between
this point and the Mandarin post office, an
area of some four miles. Three thousand
five huuilred of these trees are in bearing,
some of which were foyty years old at the
time of the 1835 freeze. They were frozen
to the ground then, but never injured since.
Eight thousand oraDges have been picked
in one season from one of the said trees, and
there are hundreds of trees In the number
that produce annually 4,000 oranges each.
One grove of 115 trees Is good for 400,000
oranges per year: one grove of thirty trees,
seventeen years old, pans out on a yearly
average 50,000 golden spheres. One grove
of uiue-year-old sweet-seedling trees, forty-
five la number, will fruit to the tune of
15,000 this fall. There are others worthy of
mention, but enough has been cited to
show the unbeliever that we can and do
grow oranges successfully, within a forty
minutes ride of the metropolis of our State.
I will add that it is quite certain, that at
least 5,000 of the non-bearers will bloom
next spring. I have not included in these
figures any of the large groves south of
Mandarin post office, or those upon the bank
of Julington creek, nor any of those north
of here. Its a safe estimate to make, that
were their numbers added to the above, the
total would go far beyond 50.000 trees. And
now another little item and I’U leave you on
tbe frost line orange question. 1 have not
known of a bearing tree or Its fruit injured
by any of tbe cold winters during the past
six years in this community, aad we raise
the choicest Northern grapes successfully;
read our dailies on the day of publication;
have great faith In the raging canawl and
the glorious future of our peninsular home,
and Invite tbe honest Immigrant to a few
more high and dry eligible sites, that await
bis push; purse and person.”

TIIE CAPTURE OF THE PERUVIAN IRONCLAD.
Panama, October 25.—Further informa
tion of the crul6e of the Huaecar and Union
south and of their meeting with two divis
ions of the Chilian navy is derived from the
official report of Capt. Amello Garcia
y Garicia, Commandant of the Uni
on. The two vessels called at
Iqulque, then stood south, arriving
off Sarco, a Chilian port, on the 4th
inst., where they captured the Chilian
schooner Coqulmho. On the morning of
the 5th they entered the harbor of Togarey,
when they learned of an attempt to be
made to land a strong Chilian force
at Iqulque or some other point
the coast of Peru, when Admiral
Grau determined to return to Arica. Pro
ceeding north the two Peruvian steamers,
ou the 8th, sighted the first division of tbe
Chilian fleet, which was looking for
them. The Huascar and Union at
once put about, and made off as fast
as possible to the southwest. They
had drawn well away from land, tbe
Chilian fleet following them, when Grau
resolved to steer north and endeavor to
run between the Chilian fleet and the
shore. In this manoeuvre he succeeded
and swept by the enemy’s first di
vision without firing a gun. The supe
rior speed of the Peruvian 6hips was
mauifest as they rapidly steamed away from
their enemies, the Bianco and Eocalada
aud three wooden 6teamers, and they
thought escape certain, when suddeuly they
sighted the second Chilian division, com
posed of the Allmir&nie Cochrane aud
several smaller vessels, cotniug down upon
them. In a few minutes Grau saw be could
not escape from this ironclad, whose speed
equaled his own. He accordingly steered
for shoal water, where, on account of his
lightness of draft, he might lead
his huge enemies on the rocks or be
able to oui-mauccuvre them. The Union
here deserted her consort and escaped to tbe
westward, closely followed by several
smaller vessels of the enemy. These could
uot come up with her, and she proceeded
north to Arica without haviug fired a shot
duriug the disastrous fight.
The fight was begun by the Ilu&scar dis
charging her two three hundred pounders
at close range at the Almiraute Cochrane,
which Grau followed up by an attempt to
ram Lis antagonist. This was unsuccessful,
as the Chilian ironclads are double
screws and cau present any front they
choose to an attack by ramming. As the
Huascar swept by at such close range,
6lie received a broadside from the
Cochrane, and before she had pro
ceeded far another battery was poured
into her. At the*6ame time, the other
Chilian ironclad came down upon her,
aud Grau, undismayed by the odds against
him, boldly placed himself between two
ships, which were thus prevented from firing
so rapidly on account of the danger of
hitting each other, which, no doubt, pro
longed the fight, which lasted two hours
before the Peruvian flag was hauled down.
For about an hour the officers of the Union
were able to observe the deadly combat,
and speak favorably of the mauner In which
all three of the ironclads were handled. It
Is not known whether the Huascar was
taken by boarding, or after the death
of Grau, which it is said occurred early
in tbe action. After the wounding of the
executive officer and several subordinates,
the remaining officers unhurt, only four
in number, hauled down the flag. The
Hua c .car lost a large number of officers and
men, a circumstance which was afterwards
reported at Iqulque by the Chilian vessels
O’Higgans and Loa.
The hull of the Huascar is said to have
been riddled, and her engines so damaged
that 6he was towed to Antofagasta. Her tur
ret was jamme i so that it would not revolve,
and everything was swept from her decks by
the terrible tire from the Ironclads. It
is said, indeed, that the turret is rendered
completely useless. The Chilian ironclad
which went first luto action fired her broad
sides very rapidly, as with her twin screws
she was able to present to her adversary, iu
a few minutes, any battery she wished to
use. The Huasear’s guns were well served.
Tbe damage done to the Chilian ironclads
was inconsiderable. The Almiraute Coch
rane, which sustained the brunt of the
battle, was somewhat damaged, but the
Blanco Enculada escaped almost entirely.
The unequal character of the fight may be
understood when it is known that the Huas
car had but two three hundred pounders to
oppose to twelve of tbe same calibre, and
her armor was four and a half inches as
against nine inches, which the ironclads
carry.
Subscriptions have already been opened
In Lima for the purchase of an ironclad to
be called the Almiraute Grau. Men have
given their watches and even their sleeve
iinks and women have thrown into the fund
their diamonds and silver plate. The Arch
bishop of Lima beads the subscription with
2,000 soles. Nearly 200.000 soles are already
collected, although the list was only placed
before the public yesterday.
In spite of the feeling of sadness at the
loss of Grau and the Huascar, enthusiasm
runs high and no thought of submission or
conciliation crosses the mind of the people.
There is a determination to wage the war
uutil victory Is obtained or all is lost, or
fixed as when hostilities commenced. The
ministry to give the President an opportuni
ty to choose new advisers have resigned
en masse, but their resignations were not ac
cepted. A report comes from Lima that
Mrs Grau, wife of the heoric Admiral, on
receipt of the intelligence of his death, was
so seriously affected that she died shortly
afterwards.

The New Y ork Herald prints an inter

concerning the recent massacre at the

“Trouble began when the agent indi

tions, but he had orders from Washing
ton not to issue rations to the Uncom-
pahgre, Uintah, Arapahoe or other out
side visiting Indians.
“On the morning of the massacre
Douglass came to the agency and spoke
of soldiers coming. My husband said:
“ ‘Let them come. They will not hurt
any one. But we will send for all the
chiefs and head captains to hear their
complaints and talk the matter over.’
“Douglass did not say much and went
away. We did not fear any particular
danger, though on Saturday, three days
before tbe massacre, they had moved
their tents and women and children to
the wilderness. The Indian Pauvitz
asked me on Saturday, Sunday and
Monday if I was afraid. I said, ‘No. 1
Pauvitz was the husband of Jane.
“I was in the kitchen with my daugh
ter, washing dishes, about half past one
o’clock. We had just finished dinner.
Some of the Indians had eaten with us,
and Chief Douglass had been picking
around the table and joking with my
daughtet Josephine while we were wash
ing the dishes. There came a volley of
firearms—a succession of sharp explo
sions. It was startling and I knew what
was coming. My daughter and I looked
into each other’s faces. Mrs. Price, who
was washing clothes at the door, rushed
in, exclaiming:
^“What shall wc do ?”
“Josephine said, ‘Keep all together,
and the girl was as cool as if she were
receiving callers iu a parlor.
“The windows were shot in. Our first
move was to get under the bed in Jose
phine’s room to avoid the bullets, which
were whizzing over our hcnd9. Jose
phine had the key of the milk house and
proposed to go there. The bullets were
flying like hailstones, and we locked our
selves into the milk house, which had
double walls tilled in with adobe clay,
and there was only one little window.
We stayed there all the afternoon and
heard no sounds but the crash of the
charged on the pile of coats with their
knives and pretended that they would
burn the brush. They became almost
insane with frenzy and excitement The
dance lasted from 2 o'clock until sun
down. Then they took the coats and all
went home."
The system of medical treatment
amoDg the Indians is described as fol
lows by Miss Sleeker:
••No'whites are admitted to the tents
while the Utes sing their medicine songs
over the sick, but I, beiog considered
one of Pursune’s family, was allowed to
remain. When their chilli was sick his
family priced me to sing with them
which I did. The Medicine Man kneels
close to the sufferer, with Lis back to
the spectators, while he sings in a series
of high-keyed grunts, gradually reaching
a lower and solemn tone. The family
join, and at intervals he howls so loudly
that one can hear him a mile: then
his voice dies away and only a gurg
ling sound is heard, as if his
throat were full of wafer. The
child lay nearly stripped. The doctor
presses his lips against the breast of the
sufferer, apd repeats the gurgling sound.
He sings a few minutes more, and then
all turn round and smoke and laugh and
talk. Sometimes the ceremony is re
peated all night I assisted at two of
these medicine festivals. Mrs. Price’s
boy became expert at singing Ute songs,
.and they sang to each other on tbe jour-

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
The Late Senator Chandler—General
Sherman Recommends the Sale of
the Oglethorpe Barracks — The
Public Debt.
Special Correspondence of the Morning News.
Washington, Nov. 1. -^Senator Zach
Cbaudler died in Chicago this morning. His
death takes from the Republican party its
staunchest stalwart, Its most bitter partisan,
and its shrewdest manager. He was pre
judiced, vindictive In politic®, and uncom
promising toward all who opposed him. He
was, though,as firm as a rock,and could not
be shakeu by any one or anything when
once be had made up bis mind what it was
best to do. The politics of the Republican
party and its successes are due more to him
than any twenty other men. The Republi
cans moan his loss. Tbe regret Is deep felt.
In this city he had many friends and plenty
of enemies. But all, no matter what their
politics, who knew the deceased, forget his
political bitterness and unfairness in remem
bering plain Zach Chandler off tbe stump and
out of the Senate. Tben.allknewhimtobe a
genial, generous whole-souled man. Many
stories of his charity will be told, and he
will be praised by lips from which adulation
was never expected. In 6plte of all the
good nqw being said of him, it will be re
membered that he more than any other man
has kept alive tbe bitter feelings of the war.
He did it to advance himself. He bas done
more than any one thousand men to keep
up sectionalism and has gloried in it. In
spile of the good that is always on one’s
tongue over a dead man, these things should
be remembered. He was in short a gener
ous free-and easy, convivial demagogue,
glorying in his bigotry and proud of the
angers that he could bid rise in the hearts
of the people. Bequkscat in pace.
THE OGLETHORPE BARRACK!).
General Sherman is preparing his annual
report for submission to the Secretary of
War. In this document he makes some
short reference to the Oglethorpe Barracks
in Savannah, and recommends that the
property be 6oId, as the government has
further use for it. General Sher
man’s report will go to Congress ac
companying the annual report of Secre
tary McCreary. There Is no doubt that after
what Gen. Sherman will recommend, a bill
authoriziBg the sale of tbe barracks can
be easily gotten through Congress. Gen.
Phil. Cook is Chairman of the House Com
mittee on Public Buildings and Grounds.
Any bill providing for the sale of tbe bar
racks would consequently receive favorable
consideration aud 'an early report to the
House. It would easily pass noth houses
and be 6igned by the President, provided
tbe bill is shaped in such a way that the
government will receive fair value for the
property relinquished; and this the people
of Savannah, of course, expect will be the
nature of the purchase.
THE PUBLIC DEBT.
The payments during the month of Octo
ber on account of arrearages of pensions
were very small and the amount disbursed
for regular pensions was Inconsiderable, Oc
tober not being the month in which claims
of that character are paid. The receipts
from customs duties and from Internal reve
nue were very large. For these reasons there
wms during the month an unusually large
decrease in the public debt, $10,353,000 in
round numbers. There bas been no decrease
that came anywhere near this since the
pensions arrears bill opeue4 its immense
drain on the treasury.' The most' of the
claims under this bill nave how been paid,
and there is now nothing in the way of a
handsome reduction of the debt every
month. Even at the rate of ten mlllioqs 9
month it will take some time fox ns to get
rid of our debt of $2,235,631,$761?. The
debt is a good Investment, however, and
the “country can stand it.’ 1 Potomac.

The Empress Eugenie in I860 visited
the Lake of Annecy, and was so charm
ed with the scenery there afforded, that
she purchased and presented to the town
of Annecy an excursion steamei, that
all might have the pleasure of seeing the
beautiTul lake. They were very grateful
then, and erected a handsomp pfilar to
commemorate her generosity. The

guns. We knew all the men were being
killed, and expected that the Indians
would finish the day with the butchery
of the women. Frank Dresser came in
shot through the leg. He killed an In
dian just as we let him into the milk
house.
“About 5 o’clock in the afternoon the
firing ceased and all was still. Suddenly
we heard the low crackle of flames and
smelt smoke. Then we saw it cominj
through the cracks in the ceilings au<
knew that the destruction of the ugcncy
buildings had begun.
“While in the building wc barely
whispered, and tried to keep Mrs. Price's
babies still. As the fire was increasing
we left the milk house cautiously, and
Josephine reconnoitred the enemy. ‘It’s
a good time to escape,’ she said. ‘The
Indians are busy stealing agency goods.
“We went around in front of the
ugent’s office and found the doors open
and things undisturbed, except that some
of my husband’s clothing lay on the
front stoop. We saw no one, living or
dead, and no sign of any one having
been killed. We ran, in a line with the
buildings, toward the sage brush, so as
to keep the buildings between us and the
Indians, who were at the warehouse
pulling out the goods; but we had not
gone far before we were discovered, and
tbe Indians made for us, firing as they
ran. The bullets fell all around us, and
one struck me on the thigh, ploughing
through the flesh just under the skin, it
stung me like a wasp, apd I thought it
time to drop. I fell to the ground. The
Indians captured Josephine and Mrs.
Price first, as they were behind me, with
Mrs. Price’s babies.
“I saw the body of my husband
stretched out on the ground in front of
the warehouse; all the clothing was gone
but the shirt. The body was not muti
lated. The arms were extended at the
sides of the head. The face looked as
peaceful and natural as in life, but
blood was running from the mouth. I
stooped to kiss him, but just as my lips
were near him I saw an Indian standing
stone still, looking at me, so I turned
and walked away. Douglass afterward
said that my 'husband was shot through
the side of the head.”
3Iiss Josephiqe Mcefcer has written
out a statement of the experience of the
captives while among the Iudiaus, from
which we cull some extract®. An inci
dent of the first halt after the march
southward had begun is thus related:
“Theu the brave chief, Douglass, who
had eaten at our u.hl^ that very day,
walked off a few feet, returned and
placed his loaded gun to my forehead
three times, and asked me if I was going
to run away. 1 told him I was not afraid
of him nor of death, and should not run
away. When be found that his repeated
threats could not frighten me, all the
other Indians turned on him aud laughed
at him, and made so much fun of him
that he sneaked off and went over to
frighten my mother. I heard her cry
‘Oh!’ and supposed that she thought some
terrible fate had befallen me. ishouted
to her that I was not hurt; that she need
not be afraid; that they were only trying
to scare her. Tbe night was still, but!
heard no response. The Indians looked
at each other. All hands took a drink
around my bed; then they saddled their
horses, and Pursuoe led my horsp to me,
and knelt fiowp ap his hands and knees
for roe to mount my horse from his back,
lie always did this, and when he was
absent his wife did it. I saw Pursune do
the same gallant act once for his squaw,
but it was only once, and none of the
other Indians did it at all.”
A touch of feminine nature is thus de
scribed :
“On Wednesday and other days one
of Supanzisquait’s three squaws put her
hand on my shoulder and said: ‘Poor
little girl! I feel so sorry; you have no
father! and you are away off with the
Utos so far from home!’ She cried all
the time, and said her own little child
had just died, and her heart was sore.
When Mrs. Price came into camp another
squaw took her baby (Johnov) into her
arms aud wept oygr him, and srfifi in Uie
that she felt yeiy sorry for the captives.”
‘Miss Meeker witnessed a genuine war
dance, which she describes as follqws:
‘One of the favonte amusements was
to put on q negro soldier's pap, a short
eoat and blue pantaloops, and imitate
the negroes in speech and walk.. } could

ney to Chief Ouray’s house on the .

rode on ponies forty miles the first three
days, and reached Captain Cline’s wagon,
on a small tributary of the Grand. Here
we took tbe buck board wagon and
traveled the next day to the Gunnison
river, and the next and last day of fear
we traveled forty-five miles, aud reached
the house of good Chief Ouray about
sundown.
“Here Inspector Pollock and my
brother Ralph met me, and I was happy
enough. Chief Ouray and his noble
wife did everything possible to make us
comfortable. Wc found carpets on the
floor and curtains on the windows, lamps
on tbe tables and stoves iu the rooms,
with fires burning. We were given a
whole house, and after supper we went
to bed and slept without much fear,
though mother was still haunted by the
terrors she had passed through. Next
morning wc breakfasted with Mrs.
Ouray, who shed tears over us as she
bade*us good-by. Then we took mail
wagons and stages for home. Three
days and one night of constant travel
over two ranges of snowy mountains,
where tbe road was 11,000 feet above the
sea, brought us to the beautiful park of
San Luis.
“We crossed to Rio Grande at day
light for the last time, and a moment
later the stage and its four horses dashed
up a street, and we stopped before a ho
tel with green blinds, while the driver
shouted ‘Alamosa.’ The moon was shin
ing brightly, and Mount Bl&ncbo, the
highest peak in Colorado, stood out
grandly from the four great ranges
which surround the park. Mother could
hardly stand. She had to be lifted from
the coach, but when she caught sight of
the cars of tbe Rio Grande Railroad, and
when she saw the telegraph poles her
eyes brightened and she exclaimed, *Now
I feel safe.’ In closing this letter I want
to thank Chief Quray, his wife and Gen
Adams. To them we owe our escape.”

A Great Wheat Cnor pon 1880.—
A telegram from Cincinnati, October 24.
says: “Wheat seeding in Southern Illi
nois, Indiana and Ohio is completed.
Never before in the history of the coun
try was so large a crop planted. The
area in Illinois and Indiana is from 50 to
100 per cent greater than that of any
previous season. The appearance of the
young grain is at present very promising,
except in a few localities where the Hes
sian fly has made its appearance. The
weather has been very favorable so far,
the drought not being sufficient tQ affect
the growth of the grain. Should the
crop wintey well, anti meet with no draw
backs in the spring, the yield of wheat in
the cent ml West in 1880 will be far
greater tban that of the present year.
The present high price of grain and the
prospect of a contluued heavy foreign
demand, have induced farmers greatly
to increase their usual breadth of territory
for wheat, and neglect other grain. “
The Sociable Bears of Utah.—
Last week a large cinnamon bear went
into a camp of tourists at Atturas lake
in the absence of tbe male members of
the party, and would have given the
ladies a good hugging had not their
screams brought the desired help. While
United States Assayer Walters and party
were journeying home last week from
Bonanza they were chased out of their
bed the first night out from here by a
bear, and left six guns in possession of
Bruin. Lately the three largest men in
the camp—Teague, Collins and Parker—
were compelled to surrender their cabin
on Mount Custer to a band of bears, and
sit on tbo roof all night, while the visi
tors amused themselves on the inside.

cura Remedies hare dMe me a power of good.
I hare been afflicted with skin disease for
teen y ears. Some days it troubled me more
than ©there, but at night the itching nearly
drove me wild.
I would scratch until the blood would run
down my limbs.
I have had several physicians. Some said
they could cure me, but others said nor.
* irig “f 7 ttuU before I used the Cuticura
Remedies I was in a fearful state, and had
U P. a 11 hope of ever having any relief.
But, like a drowning man grasping at a

They have performed a wonderful cure for
me, and of my own free will and accord I re
commend them. Tours trul
