There'* » little drawer in my chamber, Guarded with tender care, Where the dainty clothes are lying That mv darling shall never wear ; And there, while the honre are waning, Till the bonne is at rest, I nit and fancy a baby Close to my aching breast. Mv darling's pretty, white garments, I wrought them while sitting apart, While a mystic life was throbbing Under my throbbing heart ; And often iny happy dreaming Breaks in a little song, Like the mnnnnr of birds at brooding, When days are warm and long. I finished the dainty wardrobe, And the drawer was almost full With robes of the finest muslin, And robes of the whitest wool. I folded them all together. With a rose for eve it pair. Smiling and saying, "Gem fragrant, Fit for my prince to wear.” Ah ! the radiant Rammer morning, 80 full of a mother's Joy ! “ Thank God ! he is fair and perfect, My beautiful new-born boy," I,et him wear the pretty white garments I wrought while sitting apart, Lay him, so sweet and helpless, There, close to my throbbing heagt. Many and many an evening I sit, since my baby came, Baring, "What will the angels call him ?” For he died without a name ; Sit while the hours are waiting And the house is all at rest, • Ami fancy a baby nestling Close to my aching breast. —Boston Globe. AT TtlE EASEL. If I had aught of art to trace Hoft-pencilled lines which poets love, I’d draw myself a fairy face. To haog above. Twin-roses blushing upon snow— The tints commingling here and there — Host melting into smooth white brow And sunny hair. Blight tresses like an anreole, With downward drooping rays, to glance, A chastened light upon the whole Hweet countenance. Eyes, for the dim-reflected ray To tinge with pensive tenderness. Which the more dazzling light of day, Wonid dispossess. But. ah, what painting can command What artist-skill could e'er arrange, Each melody of movement, and Each charm of change ? The fitful play of life and light Translucent through that face of hers, Like stars hung out to guide aright Us wayfarers. Is it a sin to sit and watch This shadow of a fairer face With tearlesß eyes, eager to catch Each gift and grace ? Is it a sin this one to seat Her in my heart as on a throne ; And fancy her, from face to feet, All, all my own : All, all mine own, dusk to dawn, All orbed within eyes’ fierce strain j Nor once to fear the lips’ cold scorn, The lids disdain ? Is this a sin ? Perchance ; and yet No fairer sin ever earned a fall. So turn the portrait and forget— Face to the wall. A WRITER’S RHYMES. I send you my articles, darling, Although tfiey are not much to see. Yet porliaps you may find there, by looking, A faint reminiscence of me. Maybe, in the turn of the phrases, Maybe, in the fanciful style, Some remembrance of all our long talkiugs. May call up your sweet, wistful smile. Just now, in the office at midnight, The gas burning yellow and faint, The dusty floor littored with papers, The walls sadly neoding new paint— All seem to fade fast before me, To vanish like mist at sunrise, And from the vague distance gleams on me The ineffable light of your eyes. The click of the type turns to music, The proof reader's voice dies away; In an instant I’m swiftly transported Back to a clear Autumn day ; Whefl you told me to hope and endeavor, And to my best self remain true, To put away doubt for the future, And I try—for I’m thinking of you. Thinking, and hoping and dreaming— Would that my visions were real! — For, although 1 am steadfastly working, My eyes are fixed on an ideal, I love, and the word makes a heaven That glows with beatitudes sheen, Where high above all is enthroned My fairest, my daintiest queon. This moment, you're probably sloeping— Ab, sweet, are you dreaming of me ? Have you fancies wherein I may figure, My features, O love ! do you Beo ? Did you tbiuk of me during the day time— Os me, who am here in the town, A poor patient lover, awaiting Till Time shall unbeud his cold frown ? But I am—here come the dispatches; The reverie goes as it came ; I must be awake now on the instant, For the editor calls out my name. Farowcll for the present, my sweetest, When I sleep I shall see you again— Boy, give me those telegrams—paper— And find mo somewhere anew pen. [T. D., In the Arrwlian. THE LONE SENTRY. The following beautiful lines wore indited by Mr. Jamon It. Randall upou the doath of Uoneral T. J. Jackson. Tho circumstances which occasioned tho poom were these : Gen. Jackson's troops, after a long and weary march, were so much fatigued that when a halt was ordered almost nearly every man was asleep. The noble old Hero guarded the camp alone that night: 'Xwas in the dying of the day, The darkness grew so still, The drowsv pipe of evening birds Was hushed upon the hill. Athwart tho shadows of the vale Slumbered tho men of might, As one lone sentry paced his round To guard the camp that night. A gravo and solemn man was he. With deep and sombre brow. The dreamful eyes soemod hoarding up Some unaccomplished vow. His wistful glance peered o'er the plain Beneath the starry light, As with the murmured name of God He watched the camp that night. The future opened unto him Its grand and awful scroll; Manassas and the Valley march, Come heaving o'er liis soul. Richmond and Sharpsburg thundered by, With that tremendous fight Which gave him to the angel hosts Who watched the camp that night. We mourn for him who died for ns With one resistless moan, While np the Valley of the Lord, He marches to the throne, lie kept the faith of men anti saints, Sublime, and pure, and bright ; He sleeps, and all is well with him Who watched the camp that night. Brothers, the midnight of the cause Is shrouded in our fate; Tho demon Goths pollute our soil With fire, and lust, and hate ; Be strong, be valiant, be assured. Strike liome for Heaven and right ! The soul of J acksou stalks abroad And guards the camp to-night! THE CAPTAIN OF THE NORTH FLEET. Shi often is the proud deed done By men like this at Duty's call; Bo many are the honors won. By them, we cannot wear them all! Thcv make the heroic commonplace. And dying thus the natural way ; Yet is our world-wide English race. Ennobled by that death, to-day ! It brings the thoughts that fathoms things To anchor fast where billows roll ; It stirs us with a sense of wings That striTe to lift the earthiest soul. Love was new, and life so sweet, But at the call he left the wine And sprang full statured to his feet. Responsive to the touch divine. " y.jy, dear, J cannot see you die. For tne. I hope mu icorfr to do J'ji fur*’. Down to me boat, (food-bye. (rod bit’s* you- X shall set it through." We read until the vision dims And drowns : but. ere the pang be past, A tide of triumph overbrims And breaks with light from Heaven at last. Thro' all the blackness of the night A glory streams from out the gloom ; His steadfast spirit holds the light That shines till night is overcome. • The sea will do its worst, and life Be sobbed out in a bubbling breath; Bn: firmly in the coward strife ,-i. There stands a man who vanquished Death! A soul that conquers wind and wave And towers above a sinking deck, A bridge across the gaping grave; A rainbow rising o'er the wreck. He saved others: saved the name Unsullied that he gave his wife ; And dying with so pure an aim. He had no need to save his life. Lord! how they shame the life we live, These sailors of our sea girt isle. Who cheerily take what Thou must give. And go down with a heav uward smile ! The men who sow their lives to yield A glorious crop in lives to be Who turn to England's harvest-field The fruitful farrows of the sea. Kith sni'h a breed of men so brave. The Old Land has not had her day ■ But ioug. Iter strength, with crested wave. Shall ride the seas, the proud old way. —GeraU Massey, frotn Casseus Magazine. A colored man named Moses Mason, in the employ of W. G. Dieks, of Barn well county, was shot and killed bv an other negro, Mann Stalling* alias Mann Whitley, on the night of the Wth, while the victim was reclining on a beach in the door of his own house. The murderer has been arrested. VICTORY IN THE WEST! THEU. S. ARMY CAPTURE TW ELVE INDIAN WARRIORS ! Brilliant Achievements lnteresting Reminiscences Victory Perches on Our Standard -Half the Modocs Sur rendered—Sick and Famishsd. Fairchild’s Ranche, May 20, 4, p. m. —While Gen. Davis’ escort was cn route to Vanbremer’s, having left the lava beds about 10 o’clock in the morning, a Conner intercepted and delivered a dispatch to Gen. Davis. The Warm Spring Indian scouts in the advance were recalled, and the programme instantly changed. Hasbronck, who left Boyles’ camp May 7tb, has been scouting since. His command consisted of 210 men. He has harrassed the Indians, and found the men fought well in every instance and paid little heed to hunger. The Indians were vanquished. In a charge at Day Lake the men scaled a ridge twenty feet high in the face of the Modocs, and drove them away. Hasbrouck has not lost a man since the Day Lake engage ment. Artena Chokas Long Legs and One Eyed Dixie, two Modocs, residents of this ranche, last evening interviewed five women captured by Captain Has brouck’s command, and from them gleaned interesting accounts of the Modoc operations during the last few months. The captives are Mrs. Wacli metel, Boston Charley’s two sisters, the mother of Black Jim and one maiden whose relatives have attained no notable distinction. They report that Bhack Nasty. Frank Shack, Nasty Jack, Steam boat Frank, Ellen’s Man, Hooka Jim’s Father, Boston Nick and several other Modocs have been killed and many wounded. Curly Headed Jack carried a piece of lead in liis body several days, and when last |een was apparently booked for the happy hunting ground. The inability of Little John to travel at a rapid pace delayed the band. The cause of the dissatisfaction among the Modocs after the battle is interest ing. Jack consulted a stolen chronome ter, and, after sundry gestures and ex clamations, promised liis followers that they should slied rifle bullets as a duck does water and escape unharmed. The confidence this statement inspired was rudely dispelled by Hasbrouck's en counter, when several Modocs were killed, others wounded and indignatiou reigned supreme in Jack’s household. The Cottonwood branch of the tribe from Fairchilds decided to fight no more. This resolution led to Jack’s clandestine departure. The Cotton woods, numbering twenty warriors and fifty women arid children, hurried to the Snow Mountains, the southern end of the Java deposit, preparatory to travel ing to the Yainox reservation and im ploring pardon of the great father at Washington. The sudden and unex pected advent of Hasbrouck’s cavalry and Warm Spring Indians disturbed their peaceful meditations and caused them to run or fight. During the stam pede Mrs. Hendricks, alias Limpy, threw a babe six months old to the ground in the hope of escaping, but was soon after killed by a Warm Spring war rior. The babe was brought hither and turned over to a local squaw. Artena also learned from the Modoc women that that the Cottonwoods earnestly desired any action looking to peace, and would yield to the soldiers. Opportunity was offered about this time to a gentlfWarm Spring, outside of interviewing the apartment. They commenced singing one of their national melodies, ami drawing bright knives across their neat moccas ns, which caused an uneasiness among the squaws. At the termination of the consultation, Hasbrouck said lie was willing to have the Modocs surrender; would offer them every facility for so doing. Artena, Cliokas and Dixie, who have hitherto been of great service to the Government, caught the idea immediately and wanted to be employed as emissaries. They were provided with horses and provisions for two days and sent after the Modocs. Early this morning they started on the mission Faibchld’s Ranche, May 21. —Artena Chokas and One-Eyed Dixie returned at dusk this evening from the direction of Dorris Ranche. Artena said the Indians were fifteen miles from here, and num bered fifteen warriors, fitty squaws and children. The Great Spirit had caused their hearts to bleed for the white peo ple. All wanted to return to the fold and live in peace among the whites, but the present c ndition of affairs prevents them from appearing within reach of the army. Let the great white chief, mean ing Gen. Davis, come out to see them alone to talk over matters, and they might come to an amicable understand ing. No Modoc would surrender with out a peace talk. Dixie corroborated the statement of Artena. Gen. Davis told Artena and Dixie to go to the Mo doc camp to-morrow morning and tell the Indians he should not come out for a peace talk; did not believe in peace talks away from liis men. The Indians must come to him and they would talk. He would allow them to ssrrender, and they had until Friday morning to appear at headquarters. After then he should shoot every Modoc found with a gun. The women told Fairchild they should not return to the Modoc camp. The question will be determined in the moru inff. Col. Perry has arrived with his cavalry. Snow is falling. Fairchild’s Ranche, May 22, 3, p. m. —At 2 o’clock this afternoon One-Eyed Dixie returned to Gen. Davis’ headquar ters at a slashing pace, her horse being completely blown. She made an obeis ance at once and let her tongue loose. She reported Indians close at hand ready to enter camp under escort. All they asked was for Fairchild to come out to’them. No soldiers need come. The presence of Fairchild would be a guar antee of good faith. “Where is Artefla?” asked Gen. Davis. “Tied up,” said Dixie; “long ride, no water. ” The absence of Artena gave rise to suspicions of foul play which where on ly dispelled by her sudden advent. She, too, reined her foaming cayuse before Gen. Davis and said Indians were hov ering about the hills near here. They yearned to surrender to the Typee. Fairchild, Blair and two or three em ployees of the former, with whom the Indians were acquainted, mounted swift steeds at the request of Gen. Davis, and started with Dixie. The news of the in tended surrender of the Indians spread through camp like wildfire. The sol diers and Warm Springscouts were alike elated at the prospect of a peaceful vic tory. Dixie told Gen. Davis before she started that the Modoes feared the sol diers would kill them instantaneously. It took a great deal of diplomacy to convince her that the soldiers dare not disobey his commands. Donald McKay, Captain of the Warm Springs, also had to pledge his word that the scouts wottld not interfere. Dixie would leave, but D xie had very little chance. She was told that the Government did not in tend to trifle any longer. She might go to the Modoes or not, according to her own wishes, but shp must leave the camp. The Great Typee wants no squaws about him. She saw the point of the argument. Here they come, was the cry that startled the tamp at six, p. m.,of the22d, and brought every person, citizens, sol dier#, old and young, to their feet, hurrying forward to the crest of the hill, west of camp. The procession’ was slowly creeping along in this direction. First came Mr. Blair, manager of Fair child’s rauche, mounted; fifty yards be hind him Mr. Fairchild; still further j twelve Modoc bucks, squaws and pa pooses. Never did a procession move niore slowly. The few ponies ridden by the Modoes were gaunt and weak; seem ed scarcely able to bear the women and children, who literally piled upou them. The bucks embraced Bogus Charley, Steamboat Frank, Curlfcy Headed Doc tor, and others of less note. They were .1 retest'd in motley garbs. Nearly all wore a "portion of the regular uniform of the United States army. Every buck carried a Springfield rifle. The women were dressed in clothes i that had evidently been used by the fair j sex within the confines of ‘civilization. ; All entered camp at a funeral pace. Tlt'e noise and bustle among the soldiers was liusheq and few words were spoken. The Modoes said nothing. No one approach ed them uutibGen. Davis came forward and met the procession a few paces from . the house and was formally introduced j to Charley. Charley is a slender,*, athletic, intelligent warrior of twenty. The man speaks thoroughly and under stands English. The so*tup smiled sweetly on the General and shook bauds. -Then all the leading warriors came for ward and greeted him cordially. Next every buck laid his gun beside him, as awaiting orders. General Davis said, “Give up your pistols and ail your other arms.” Each buck said he had no arms, when the General said : “I shall give you a camp where you may remain to-night. If you try to run or escape you will be shot dead.” The or der was explained to all, and obedience, promised. The procession then moved across Cottonwood creek to a clump of trees. At this point the tailing of the crowd came in. There were half-naked children, aged squaws who could scarce ly hobble—the blind, lame, halt, honey scum of the tribe. There were 63 persons—men, women and children; 12 bucks, 20 squaws and their children. Mr. Fairchild says there are 20 bucks missing from the Cotton wood branch of the tribe. Bogus said Boston Charley was killed. Hooka Jim is looking for Charley’s body. The dis affection heretofore reported is corrobo rated bv-the captive Modoes, who parted company with Jack eight days ago. The captives are now drawing rations and arranging for a feast. The artillery has been divided into squadrons, the Warm Springs ditto, for the purpose of following Capt. Jack’s faction of the Modoc tribe, and the re spective commands will start out in a day or two. It is supposed there are 20 warriors with Capt. Jack, whose whereabouts are unknown, though supposed to be in the Hot River Mountains. Gen. Gillem has been superseded byGe% Wood Hardie. A. B. Meacham, ex-Peace Commis sioner, arrived this forenoon, from Sa lem, Oregon. The object of his visit has not transpired. San Francisco, May 26.—Reports from Fairchild’s ranche state 'that Captain Jack is north of Pitt River country with twenty-five warriors, who say they will die with their rifles in their hands.— General Davis has ordered the troops to go in pursuit of the savages. General Gillem has been ordered to proceed to the headquarters of his regiment at Benecia. Col. Wheaton has been rein stated. It is thought that half a dozen Modocs were lately near camp waiting to surrender. The savages who are still free have broken into small bands, and the movements of the soldiers will be made accordingly. THE SHADOW OF EMPIRE. THE STRUGGLE OF SATURDAY. McMahon's Acceptance of the Presi dency The Republicans Advise Against Disorder— France Quiet The Empire is Peace—Scenes in the Struggle—How Thiers Fell—Full and Late Details. Paris, May 24, evening.—The resig nation of President Thiers, and the elec tion of Marshal McMahon to succeed him, caused immense excitement here. The streets have been crowded all the evening with people discussing the event of to-day, but no disturbances. Paris, May 25, evening.—The change in the Presidency has been accomplished without the slightest disturbance, and perfect order prevails throughout France. The troops have been confined to their barracks since yesterday morning, but all is quiet in Paris. There is no sign of disorder in the departments. The Rad ical journals of to-day are calm in tone. They recommend prudence and wisdom on the part of the Republicans, and urge peace and a strict adherence to law. Gambetta has issued a maniiesto,calling on Republicans to respect the law. Mar shal McMahon has sent a communication to Buffet, President of the Assembly, acknowledging the receipt of the official notification of his election to the Presi dency, and accepting the office in the following terras: “I have been called, through the con fidence of the National Assembly, to the Presidency of the French Republic. No immediate change will be made in ex isting laws, regulations and institutions. I rely upon material order, and I count upon you, upon your vigilance, and up on your patriotic assistance.” The new President has issued a cir cular to the Prefects of the different departments, promising that no attack will be made on the laws and the insti tutions of the country. The formation of the new Government has not yet been completed. It is said that the Duke de Broglie will have the place of Minister of the Interior, and M. Pierre Magne that of Minister of Finance, and that M. Bawu De’Larcy and M. M. Ernoul and M. Baltic will enter theHCaninet. A port folio was tendered to M. Goullard, late Minister of Finances, immediately after President Thiers’ deposition, but he de clined it. Large numbers of Republi can functionaries have resigned. Scenes and Incidents of the Great Struggle. The scenes were extremely exciting in the National Assembly chamber pending the discussion which resulted in the de position of Thiers and the exaltation of Marshal McMahon. In the President’s box wore Madame Thiers, the Prefect of the Department of the Seine and others, who were gesticulating quite wildly, and once the Prefect was called to order for the ardor of his enthusiasm. The diplomatic corps was well repre sented. Lord Lyons, tlio British Minister, was not present, beingengaged in giving a dinner and reception in honor of Queen Victoria’s birthday. Many cele brated women of Napoleon’s court, ns well as of the Republic, occupied con spicuous places, and remained until the political change was consummated. As soon as the vote was taken deposing Thiers, the representatives of the dif ferent countries immediately left the Chamber and telegraphed the news to their respective Governments. M. Theirs sat a close watcher of events, and was constantly using the exclamation—“ Oh, Bien Messieurs.” Once he caused im mense excitement when he said—“ They have spoken of negotiations, when it has occurred to me they only wanted the Government to be transferred to Paris, but the army would not enter there. I have repelled them in order to prevent the spending ot streams of blood at the expense of the army. If there is a man who counts the cost of this effusion of blood it is myself. I have fallen. I rather wish to say we have fallen. For a long time I had hope, but this detestable faction”—the close of the sentence was lost in the tremendous uproar which the beginning had excited. Again did Thiers awake the enthusiasm of his friends; when charged with being the protege of Radicalism, he retorted: “There was something more remarkable than that in their midst. They had with them Duke Deßroglie, who was a protege of Empire.” No fear of a disturbance is apparent in Paris. The people on Sunday attended in great numbers the Chantilly races, giving themselves up to pleasures and caring little seemingly for politics. Paris, May 26.—The New Ministry has been formed, as follows ; Minister of Foreign Affairs, Duke De Broglie; Minister of Justice, M. Einoul; Minis ter of the lnterior, M. Beule; Minister of Finance, M. Pierre Mayue; Minister of War, Gen. De Cissev; Minister of Marine, Admiral De Hornay; Minister of Public Instruction and Worship, M. Batbie; Minister of Public Works, M. DeSeseilligny; Minister of Agriculture aud Commerce, M. Bouillerie. There is no disorder in any portion of the couu try in consequence of the change in the Government. Dispatches from all sec tions report tranquility. Only half of the troops are now held in their bar racks. Pabts, May 26.—The Orleans Princes were present in the Assembly when the question was taken on accepting Presi dent Thiers’ resignation, and voted in the affirmative. M. Thiers has informed the members of the Left Centre that he will resume his seat in the Assembly to morrow, and will take his place on their benches, accompanied by the late Min isters Dufaure, Perier and Leon Say. The whole Left has decided upon the policy of constitutional opposition to the new Government. Pabis, May 26.—President McMahon sent a message to the Assembly to-day. It was read by Duke De Broglie. He says ; “ I am animated by a respect for your wishes, and will always scru pulously execute them. The National Assembly had two great tasks—the lib eration of territory and the restoration of order. The first was ably conducted by my predecessor with heroic patience, and I rely on yon to accomplish the other. I shall follow the for eign poliev of my ptedec^sor.— I wish for peace and the re-brganisatiou of the army, desiring only to restore our strength and regain for France her rank among nations. My home policy will- be resolutely conservative. The Adminis tration must be imbued with a conserva tive spirit, and I will appoint to office only respecters of the law. I shall de fend society against factions and stand as a sentinel to see that your sovereign will is obeyed in its integrity. ” , Free Trade Policy—Reduction of Army Expenses. j Pabis, May 27.—A special to the ! Times says: The new Government will j adopt a free trade policy and reduce the armv expenses. Thiers will resume his literary labors. Thiers took a seat in the Assembly to ! day. | Prince Pierre Bonaparte is in Paris. ! The Pope, in a speech yesterday, de j dared he had ever prayed for France, but would now pray with greater confi ; dence. The election of McMahon was a i guarantee of order and justice which had been threatened on all sides. The Conservative Programme .in France. Paris, May 2S.—The Conservatives intend to propose a law making the President irresponsible to the Assembly for hi* ants. It is rumored that a mo tion will be made in the Assembly to proclaim the Republic and confirm Mac- Malion as President' for a term of five years. THE SPANISH REPUBLIC. Liberation of Slaves. Madrid, May 27-—Captain General Pialtaru has been officially notified to carrv into effect Disorder of March 24tb. liberating 10,000 slaves.. ■ Sheridan and the Kickapoos. Chicago, May 27 .—T0 the Secretary of War; "Gen. Augur telegraphs that the Mexicans o» tim border are well pleased with the punishment given the Kickapoos by McKenzie. The remain der of the Kickapoos threaten retalia tion. but we are ready for them if they ‘come. [Signed] “P. H- .SsEWPAif, Lt. Gen, BORDER OUTRAGES. THE FIGHT ON THE MEXICAN j FRONTIER. Shall We Have War With Mexico—The j Time to Act--The Keelimr on the Border. Washington, May 24.—The news of Col. McKenzie’s fight with Indians in Mexico is a subject of earnest comment in official circles. There are yet no of ficial utterances regarding this occur ence on tflis general subject, but Gener als who possess full information upon the subject and have made it a matter of official communication say unhesitatiug ly that the time has arrived when the people who persist in making forays i upon the citizens of the United States, j or shield the perpetrators, should be; taught a lesson thereon. The following j is the text of a telegram received at the j Mexican Legation from the Vice Consul; at San Antonio, dated Thursday: I: have seen letters stating that on the 17th inst., Gen. McKenzie crossed the Rio Grande above Pegras, with 500 horse men and attacked the Lipons, Moscel leros and a party of Kiekapoos, killing 19, taking more than 30 prisoners, and capturing a great many horses. Mr. Marakel, the Mexican Minister at Wash ington, has not yet had an interview with the Department of State on the subject, but awaits further particulars before calling on the Secretary for that purpose. Gen. Sherman, has long ago as 1871, in a letter to Secretary Belknap, said these sudden eruptions from Mexi co have been of frequent occurrence, and the Rio Grande being fordable gives the Indians a certain safe retreat. As we cannot properly cross the border in pursuit, Mexico ought to be liable for the acts of war done bv Indians owing her allegiance, and our people charge that the Indians are not only harbored, but that the horses and cattle are openly sold in Mexican towns beyond the Rio Grande, and the General added : This case, it appears to me, is clearly one for the State Department, as we are unable to apply a remedy. The State Depart ment accordingly acted in the premises, but has been unable to obtain redress. The President is reported as saying to day, though unofficially, that the time had come for some positive aud definite action iu regard to the outrages on the Mexican border, and if the Mexican Gov ernment asked for an explanation of the recent reported action of the military, it might perhaps be shown to have been justifiable, as the Mexican Government lias given no redress for such outrages heretofore, and manifested but little disposition to prevent. A member of the Cabinet retorted to day, with reference to the reported vio lation of Mexican territory by our troops, that it was not always easy to distinguish the boundary line, but there was,no room for mistakes when depreda tory Indians were overtaken. It is there fore inferred that this Government will not be disposed to censure General McKenzie, but rather to approve his conduct, although he acted ou his own responsibility. He is held in the high est esteem by his army associates both as a soldier and a gentleman. He is only about 32 years of age, being the youngest officer with full title of Colonel in the army. New’ Orleans, May 23.—A Picayune Austin special says McKenzie started with the ostensible desigu of making a detour around the country, but virtually to cross the Rio Grande river to hunt out the revenge of our long suffering frontier. He crossed the river on the night of the 17tli, and went ou his way secretly and silently towards Santa Rosa, Mexico, sixty miles from the border, on the Santa Rosa mountains He attacked the Kickapoo, so dreaded on the fron tier, while they were still iu blissful ig norance of their imminent danger, kill ing 18 and capturing 42, with losses to himself of two men mortally wounded; aud the General is on his way back to the post, where he will receive the grate ful and sincere thanks of the frontier en masse for his prompt and effectual ac tion in our protection. Later intelligence says General Mc- Kenzie’s command was fired on by the Mexicans on their recrossing the Rio Grande. The people on both sides of the river are wrought up to a high pitch of excitement. The Mexicans swore vengeance, and things looked porten tious. The above is confirmed both by Government and private correspondence. New York, May 23. A Washington special says the President to-day stated that Col. McKenzie’s raid ou the In dians into Mexican territory was made in pursuance of orders, and that our Government had determined to stop the outrages on the Texan frontier at all hazards. San Antonkj, Texas, May 26. —Ad- vices from Rio Grande say nothing ex traordinary has occurred since the raid. McKenzie reached Fort Clark with his command and prisoners last Wednes day. The prisoners were forwarded to Snu Antonio. The excitement on the Mexican side is great. The population is indignant, and calls were made for volunteers to intercept McKenzie, but he recrossed the river in safety. The Indians are reported assembling on the bank, vowing destruction to the resi dents on the Texas side, and notifying Mexicans who have ranches on this side to cross the river lest they be murdered among those to be attacked. A strong assemblage of Indians contig uous to the Rio Grande is reported, os tensibly to treat with the Mexicans. The frontier residents have grave appre hensions, though it is thought the ex citement of the Mexicans will subside, as it is reported that several leaders among the frontier Mexicans are exercising their influence to preserve peace, even favoring the co-operation of Mexicans with United States troops when attack ing the Indians on their camping grounds. THE DEMONS OF THE AIR. A FEARFUL STORM IN IOWA. A Balloon Shaped Horror—Trees Up rooted and Houses Demolished—An Appalling Picture of Its Ravages. Washington, lowa, May 22.—A ter rific tornado of whirlwind, accompanied with hail and rain, passed over this country about six miles north of Wash ington yesterday afternoon. It came np from the southwest and passed out of the county a little south of Yalton. The tornado was about one-half a mile in width, and tore into fragments every thing that came in its course. Houses, barns, fences, cattle and human beings, were caught up and whirled through the air like mere toys, and then dashed to the ground with such violence as to pro duce instant death to animate beings. Houses and barns were torn to fragments and scattered for miles around. The fields are dotted with large timbers driven into the ground at an angle of ninety degrees, and cattle were actually driven headforemost into the ground. One can seare'.y conceive of the devasta tion, or realize the force of the tornado. Already we have heard of thirteen farm houses and as many barns that were lit erally torn to pieces, and others badly i damaged. A school was in session six ! miles north of here, and tho tornado tore the building to pieces, and carried j a fourteen-year-okl daughter of Henry 1 Uatlimel about a quarter of a mile from j the school house, aud when found she I was mashed to a jelly. Miss Smith, the teacher, and six or I eight scholars were hurt, some badly ; the wife of Henry Walters was killed. A Miss Gardner and a son of Abe Gib son lies at the point of death. Jacob Seek was seriously hurt. Mr. Baker was badly hurt in the back. Several of the family of F. C. Campbell, near Keota, were wounded. Mrs. McCoy was seriouslv hurt. A gentleman who was near the tornado, six miles north when it passed, reports that it was balloon shaped, with the small end to the ground, and moved at the rate of about twenty miles an hour. It commenced its fear ful work near Keota, where it demol ished several residences. We next hear of it about six miles northwest, where it destroyed two or three houses, and as it passed* on northeast it scattered to the four winds the fine residences and barns of Alex. Gibson, J. A. Babcock and J. C. Cullingham, also leveled to the ground the dwellings of D. Cancer, F. and H. Walters, Mr. Carringer and Mr. Kerr. Many persons lives were saved by hastily getting into their cellars. Sad havoc was made with all kinds of stock. From eye witness’ description, it is al most a miracle that anything in its track escaped alive. He says he could see large pieces of timbers hurled from the cloud as though shot from a cannon. Hail fell that measured nine inches in diameter. Some were brought to this citv. and four hours after they were picked np they still were as large as hen’s eggs. The roaring of the tornado was fearful and could have been heard easily ten miles. At this place, six miles away, it was perfectly appalling, surpassing in terror anything we ever heard except the roar and din of a terri fic battle. A telegram from Keota last evening says that five persons were kill ed. About three miles from that place there was a child torn to pieces. Oar reports are from qnly a few points on the line of the terrible destroyer and we can’t estimate the amount of damage, but it must be many thousand dollars. Many more lives were probably lost than those reported, and no estimate can be made of the stock killed. Nothing here tofore so terrible and violent has ever befallen the country, and we ean only contemplate its devastation with awe aa4 wonder that so many escaped alive. Keota, la., Mar 33-—The most ter rific storm ever known in this part of ; the State passed through here yesterday about 3 o'clock, p. m. It started, as far I as heard from, ten miles southwest on Skunk bottom, traveling in a southeast erly direction to within two miles and a half of this city, sweeping everything before it. Four persons are reported killed. Eight are slightly hurt. Eight houses were torn down. Three barns, one saw mill aud several granaries were blown down. From 200 to 300 head of stock were killed. Building material and agricultural implements, iucluding threshing machines, reapers, corn plows, planters, cultivators, etc., and in every shape imaginable, were strewn the en tire distance. The storm seemed to con fine itself in width from 100 to 400 yards. It is reported that the town of Lancast er, 15 miles southwest, in this county, is in ruins. As we are writing, more buildings are reported blown down fur ther southwest. PATRONS OF HUSBANDRY. Origin of the Farmers' Organization— Its Work—Practical Poetry. [“ Olivia’s” Letter to the Philadelphia Press.] Years ago the spark which kindled this flame originated in Philadelphia, and it came about in this way; The city of Brotherly Love was blessed with a very wealthy citizen, who died one day aud bequeathed a large fortune to his son. Now, the young man adored chem istry, and realized the intimate relations that exist between the cultivation of the soil and his favorite study, and in his enthusiasm he determiued to start on a lecturing tour to the farmers of the West. In the meantime he applied to William Saunders, Esq., the founder of the Patrons of Husbandry, who was then the editor of a horticultural journal, to ascertain by what means he could call an audience of agriculturalists. Mr. Saunders told him there was no way to bring these widely scattered men to gether. Living long distances apart, removed from the railroads and printing offices, they were as inaccessible as Sel kirk on Juan Fernandez. From that hour Mr. Saunders bent every energy to develop a plan by which the husband men might become powerful by union. He saw the iron and steel men, also the sewing machine and railroad men strong as their own iron and steel, aud he said; “We must fight Satan with his own weapons. The poor farmer is like the single skirmisher—brought down by the first sharpshooter of the enemy. Let us advance as an army.” So far their blows have fallen heaviest ou what are called the “middle men.” lowa, who leads the van, last year saved $450,000 in her purchases of agricultural imple ments. By means of this order the farmer bought direct from the manufac turer, while the middle man or agent had to step aside. In the Fall or early Winter of 1807 a small knot of thinking men combined in the office of the Su perintendent of the Agricultural Grounds in Washington, aud at this meeting a part of the ritual was formed. organization—subordinate changes. First Degree—Labor (man), maid (woman). Second Degree—Cultivator (maD), shepardess (woman). Third Degree—Harvester (man), glean er (woman). Fourth Degree—Husbandman (man), matron (woman). state grange. Fifth Degree—Pomona (Hope). Composed of Masters of subordinate granges and their wives who are ma trons. Past Masters and their wives who are matrons shall he honorary mem bers and eligible to office, but not en titled to vote. national grange Sixth Degree—Elora (Charity). Composed of Masters of State Granges and their wives who have taken the de gree of Pomona. Past Masters of State Granges, and their wives who have taken said degree of Pomona, shall be honorary members and eligible to of fice, but not entitled to vote. Seventh Degree —Ceres (Faith). Members of the National Grange who have served one year therein may be come members of this degree upon ap plication and election. It shall have charge of the secret work of the order, and shall be a court of impeachment of all officers of the National Grange. Members of this degree are honorary members of the National Grange, aud are eligible to office therein, but are not entitled to vote. During the year 1872 new granges were formed to the number of one thou sand one hundred and five, and since •he order was introduced there have been issued for gratuitous distribution, one million seven hundred and five thousand sheets of printed matter, and not a single sheet has been franked since the order was started, and there is not a State or Territory where the order is not known. In regard to the standing of the States, lowa stands first, and South Carolina next. There have been printed aud gratui tously distributed during the year, by the National Grange, 514,500 Bryan Fund publications (4 to 8 pp. pamph lets); 20,000 manuals, bound in cloth; 25,100 circulars; 72,400 blanks; 7,800 keys to manuals; and 30,000 constitu tions.’ The ceremonies connected with the session of a grange are extremely poetic and beautiful. Ou a remote platform in the hall where the meeting is held may be seen the three women whose charm ing hands must consecrate the new as pirant. The first is Flora, named from mythology. Her brow is bound with flowers, and if the proper season is Rt hand they trail in garlands from her gar ments, which are as fleecy as the clouds. From the profusion before her she se lects a specimen and presents it to the new accession. To the innocent young girl she presents a lily. To the juiceless old bachelor a sprig of rue. The woman who represents Ceres is usually a ma tron. Her ripe forehead is surmounted with a crown of straw, which is dotted with golden grain. She bestows upon the candidate a handful of her treasures, or, perhaps, an ear of corn, after her part of the ceremony is over. Last, but not least, comes Pomona, symbolic of the riches of harvest and Autumn. A glo rious woman she should be. When the candidate has passed her hands nothing more can be done for bim. He is a full fledged Patron of Husbandry. The im portant question comes up in the busi ness order of the grange of this kind, “Is any member sick or in distress?” This is a specimen of some of the items. As the meeting is about to ad journ, the Worthy Master says, “As we are again to separate and mingle once more with the world, let us not forget the precepts of our order. Let us aim to add dignity to labor. In our deal ings with our fellow-citizens let us be honest. Be just and fear not. Avoid intemperance in eating and drinking and language; also, in work and rec reation. Whatever you attempt to do, strive to do it well. Let us be quiet, peaceful citizens. Feed the hungry, help the fatherless and the widows, and keep ourselves unspotted from the world. ” We will suppose this grange to be as sembled in Illinois. In the meantime some farmer sharper than the rest has found out that mischief is brewing in Chicago in the shape of a “corner in grain.” Instantly funds are voted to send a trusty man to the scene of action to report the doings of the sharpers. The firmer then is advised whether to keep or sell bis hard earned treasures. At present the grange agents are every where; they are slaughtering the “mid dle-men” by tens of thousands. If a poor woman wants a sewimr machine, she applies to her grange. This almost perfect organization is sweeping over our vast territory, in comparison to all other orders, like the movement of a tornado or prairie fire. Its accessions of membership are estimated at the rate of from three to five hundred per day. THE ENGLISH COURTS. The Great Forger—A Libel Suit anil Its Results—The Cable Amalgama tion. London, May 28. —Austin Bid well, the bank forger, was brought up at Guild Hall to-day. Formal testimony was taken establishing his identity, and he was remanded to jail. In'the libel case of O’Keefe vs. Arch bishop Cullen, the plaintiff was awarded one farthing damages. A bill has been filed in chancery against the Anglo-American Cable Com pany to prevent the amalgamation of its stock with that of the Newfoundland and French Atlantic Telegraph Com panies. FROM SAN FRANCISCO. Mortality Among the Chinese From Small Pox— Storing Away Dead Ce lestials—A Timely Discovery The Exodus to he Stopped. San Francisco, May 27. —The bodies of three Chinamen, who died from small pox, were found to-day cencealed in the pump boxes of the steamer Lord of the Isles, lying at the dock. The vessel was ordered to be quarantined at once. The passengers are in the city, having all landed yesterday. Local opposition to Chinese immigra tion has taken definite shape. A board of supervisors will pass an ordinance that all Chinese sentenced to any county jail shall be deprived of their pig tails, ajjd providing for the levying of fifteen dollars and a quarter on a Chinese laundrymen and prohibiting the re moval of dead bodies to China. The representatives six of Chinese com panies have telegraphed to Hong Kong, representing the state of affairs and ad vising Chinamen so stop coming to Cali fornia, l>r. ThU’w Column. Th e Liver!! A FEW WORDS FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE MILLION! A DISORDERED LIVER is the source of a large majority of the ills with which the human family is affticted. There is no organ of the body, the normal functions of which are so essential to health. Upon its healthful action depends the proper assimilation of the food and drink which supports and nourishes the body. It is therefore evident that a de rangement of its functions must entail disas trous results upon the entire system. A BILIOUS STOMA(II. The* bile is the natural cathartic of the bowels into which it passes just below the stomach, being conducted there by its produc ing organ—the liver—by a pipe called a duel. No bile properly belongs to the stomach : but if it is excessive in quantity, or viscid or thick in quality, or if the bowels are obstructed or costive, then it flows back into the stomach, causing nausea, retching and vomiting of yellowish, green, or even black bilious matter. This is commonly called ‘‘bilious stomach,” “ bile on the stomach,” or a “bilious attack.” Sometimes this condition is comparatively mild, but of long duration ; or it comes and goes according to varying circumstances of diet or health. In such cases there may be only a headache and sickness at the stomach, with an expectoration of bitter phlegm, but usually, also, the whites of the eyes become yellowish, and the complexion loses its fresh, healthy color. Many persons live for weeks or months in this condition, and at length Dys pepsia, with all its train of distressing con comitants, is fully developed. Sick Headache. Flatulence, variable appetite, dullness and drowsiness, dizziness, bitter taste in the mouth, dryness of the throat and internal heat, pal pitation of the heart; sour stomach, with a raising of the food ; a bloated or full feeling about the stomach, which is often attended with pain and tenderness ; colic pains ; consti pation of the bowels, alternating with attacks of Diarrlicee ; Piles, nervousnesss, coldness of the extremities: dullness, alternating with hot flashes, low spirits and gloomy forebodings. This frightful catalogue of diseases invariably follow a deranged state of the liver, and it be hooves every one who would enjoy life to adopt prompt measures for its restoration to healthy action. For this purpose Mercury, in the form of Calomel or Dine Pill, is the medicine usually resorted to. This powerful drug, though for the time helping the liver, does no lasting good, has to be resorted to more and more frequently, aud proves in the end more dan gerous to the system than the disorders it is intended to subdue To obviate this difficulty, physicians have for a long time sought for a medicine that would act specifically on the liver, restoring its nor mal functions, and at the same time be exempt from the dangerous effects of mercury. Their research has at last been rewarded by the dis covery of vegetable substances which, when properly combined, exert a urnst powerful heal ing influence upon that organ. It is justly styled the most important triumph that Phar macy has ever achieved. These substances are contained in a concentrated form in Dr. Tint’s Vegetable Liver Pills, Which causes them to act with wonderful cer tainty and rapidity in relieving and curing the diseased liver and those distressing maladies which attend it. While they are active and searching, they are mild ami gentle in their action, aud can be taken by the most delicate person. They produce neither nausea, griping or debility, nor require change of diet or occu pation. Ry the timely use of these Pills much pain and suffering may be averted, and life, which was before a continuous misery, may be ren dered happy by the restoration of vigorous health and sound bodies.

E. F. LAWSON. my2— 6w Ordinary. Ayer’s Hair Vigor, For restoring to Gray Hair its natural Vitality and Color. gloss and freshness of youth. Thin liuir is thickened, falling hair checked, and baldness often, though not always, cured by its use. Nothing can restore the hair where the follicles are de stroyed, or the glands atrophied and decayed; but such as remain can bo saved- by this application, and stimu lated into activity, so that anew growth of hair is produced. Instead of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair from turning gray or falling off, and consequently prevent baldness. The restoration of vitality it gives to tho scalp arrests and prevents tho forma tion of dandruff, which is often so un cleanly and offensive. Free from those deleterious substances which make some preparations dangerous and inju rious to the hair, the Vigor can only benefit but not harm it. If wanted merely for a HAIR DRESSING, nothing else can be found so desirable. Containing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white cambric, and yet lasts long on the hair, giving it a rich, glossy lustre, and a grateful perfume. Prepared by Dr. J. C.
