The hospital Is a world in itself, and con tains
all the elements of Christian civilization. The

entrance of the building. After winding along
the spacious halls passing offices anti private
apartments a door is reached which leads to
an octAgon shaped reading room, the walls of
which arc ornamented with pirturcs of promi
nent peraouages. Passing from tnis rosy little
room another of different shape I* entered.

of Defines opera house. ???Oil, no," said Dr.
Ilryce, ???It Is our own opera house for the cx
elusive use of the partients.???
The ulajr hall is well arranged, and fitted up
in madam manner for tbe enjoymrnt of the

it lights and stage fixtures.
???Do the insane appreciate this manner of

now a number of patients who are writing

through'the building sml around the premises.
The doctor kept up a lively conversation's!!

keeping it so. Nearly all tho' rooms had

good many things.???
???In IKWa bill was passed the legislature ap
propriating 91,00,000 for th* erection of the
hospital. It was doneattbo instance of the
idea, of the medical ooctety of Nelms and con
ceived by them, which idea was carried before
the state aswdatiou and by it measures were
taken to appoint Dr. Dopos, a distinguished
physician of Mobile, an agent, and lie was sent
to Montgomery by the state medical hoard to
lobby. In tbe meantImo the friends of the
acbeme invited Miss D. L. Di.t, of Boston, to
become interested. Tho $1,00,000 appropria
tion was barely euough to lay a good founda
tion for the building. The;Mat bill was vetoed
by Governor Winston, llo said ???the bulldiug
was too large; it would Hover bo built or filled.
The bill was passed over his head. The size
of the present building Is BOO toot long, and ha*
a capacity for 900 apartments, besides the
many conveniences and addition*.

There has never been bnt one anickle in the

Dkmiko, N. M., December 21.???Leading
citizens of Silver City had a meeting yesterday
to devise means for prosecuting tbe war of cx
termination against the Apaches. It was at
first thought that the governmont would pur
chase forty or fifty blood hounds to track the
Indians, both Generals Crook and Bradley
favoring the proposition as the only really
available means of pursuing the red butchers.
Word was received from Han to Fe that tbe
army officers weie willing to recommend tho
employment of blood hounds, hut thought il
would be several months before the war de
part ment would act upon their recommenda
tions. Upon learning this the citizens called
a meeting and determined to raise the money
hr subscription for the pure base of a pack of
blood bounds nnd for again equipping and
putting tbe local militia in the field. Wealthy
ranchmen in attendance pledged over $.1,000
for tho purchase of blood hounds. It was
determined to. raise a picked company of three
hundred experiencccr Indian fighters from
several districts in tbe territory, who will im
mediately take tbe field and campaign the re
mainder of the whiter.

of the Diet that fears arc entertained that an
attack will ho made on tho peaceful Imliaus
within the Hsu Carlos reservation by citizens
of Arizona, Governor Znlick has issued a proc
lamation. in which ho says:
???It Is with regret that I feel called upon to notice
officially the luUsinmatory appeals made to tbo
jeople of Uil* territory, upon our Indian dinicul-
lief. Tlio governor osmcstly request* all '
to refrain from molesting these Indian.-, an i

miles from here, stating there was danger of

Jones, one of the beat known ranchmen in
Aritono, arrived here Sunday from tjio vicini
ty of the recent Itidjan massacre. Jones rays
the situation in western New Mexico aud
eastern Arizona is really much worso than has
been, reported by tho newspopcr-i. Ho declares
that no ono person can gather an adequate idea
of tbe terrorized condition of the Inhabitant*,
and tho actual iratnlwr of people killed by tbe
Apaches within the past two month*. Dozens
of flunilica have been massacred in distant
parts of the territory, and tho nows of their
death never spread beyond tbo immedi
ate vicinity, owing to tho long distance and
separation Irom thcoiitsldo world. Jones men
tions three murders In New Mexico which, to
his knowledge, have never lieen published,
ijust prior to his depurtnro from New
lio helped to bury a neighbor who was
found murdered by Indians. The fearful loss
by fire and plunder at tbo hands of the
marauding Apaches has also been Trader esti
mated, us many ranches have becu liter
ally cleaned up of stock and the house*
burned. The ranchmen of Graham county,
Arizona, have equipped n raugor force at their
own expense aud Placed them in the field.
The settlers are depending entirely on these
rangers. Jones asserts that the regular army
is no longer relied upon by tho pooplo to sup-
preta these frequent outbreak*, und says that
Governor Xullck, of Arizona, i* in favor of
Immediately orguuizing a territorial ranger
force, and has been petitioned to rail the leg
islature together for this purpose.

Mr. J[ohn J. White, a merchant in Clinton,
Michigan, writes from bis home under date of
December 15,1885:
???I have been suffering with eczema for more
thau a year, and have tried (our different phy
sicians, hut to no permanent benefit. I then
tried several pateut remedies for such disease,
but they ttlgnally failed to bring the relief I
sought. I was in a dreadful condition, being
covered from head to foot with this terriblo
disease, aud notw ithstanding all that I could
do, I continued to grow worse. At last seetyg
the statement of Mr. Bradley, of Detroit, of
wbat 8, 8. S. had done for his wife (but my
fisith was almost gone in patent medicines), I
sent and got one battle, thinking, however, it
was another $1.75 thrown away. To my groat
astonishment and delight the terrible itching
subsided, and I am now ou my eighth bottle,
and the disease has disappeared, almost, there
being only a few rough places on the small of
my back and legs. I am confident that ??
complete cure will he effected at*an early day
I write this that thoto who arc similarly afflict
