Hun Francisco, January 10. A
dispatch from Tueson mid Doming
report that tlio stage coach running
from Mesilla to Fort Cutnniings was
attacked by Indiana on Friday even
ing, about fourteen miles from Fort
Cunimlngs. The bodies of the driver
three men and one woman, passengers
were found mutilated and burned.
The bodies were removed to Fort
Cumiuings, Troops are in pursuit.
The Indians are supposed to have
jnimbered about forty.
In the palmy days of free and easy
land grants large slices from the pub
lic domain were given to -companies
for building wagon roads in the Far
West, under the pretence that such
roads were needed for military trans
portation. Some of these roads are
like the one described by Longfellow
in his "Hyperion," which began In a
broad and smooth causeway, but grew
narrower and rougher, and finally
ended in a squirrel track and ran up a
tree. A highway of this sort exists in
Oregon. It has absorbed 801,440 acres
of lund, but is of small account to the
Government or the public. Secretary
Sehurz has had tin investigation made
and recommends Congress to take
measures ftr bringing the company to
terms. Meanwhile he refuses to issue
any more land patents to the .con
cern. Mc Kcau Miner.
The struggle for the Senatorial
prizestill continues unabated at Har
risburg. In the vote in each house
separately on Tuesday, no one seems
to have had an advantage over the ac
tion of the caucuses. Yesterday the
houses met in joint convention to de
cide the matter, which will be awaited
with interest. From the last view of
the situation, a dark horse seems to
cast his shadow over thecoming event.
The regulur Republican caucus, nomi
nee, Oliver, lacked thirty votes of the
number necessary for a choice, which
number will need to come from the
Grow faction or the ranks of the Dem
ocrats. Taking either horn of the di
lemma, Mr. Oliver seems to be out,
while as Grow lacks a greater number
of votes than Oliver, which must come
from theOlivermen or the Democrats,
the conclusion is naturally reached, as
we have intimated, that a dark horse
must ultimately carry off the prize.
Who is the dark horse?
The approaching census orde red in
England by Government, which
frightens all the old maids out of their
wits, has no terrors for Mr. Pears, the
great London soap manufacturer, who
offers to assist gratis in enabling the
Government to do its wicked work.
The printed form of the census to be
distributed throughout the kingdom
will cost about one hundred thousand
pounds, with paper, stamp, delivery,
and all included. Now Mr.Pears.who
has not realized his immense fortune
by sitting quietly in his store with his
eyes shut.appreciates the vast publicity
acquired by the census, and asks why
lie should not share it; and so lie pro
poses to undertake the whole expense
of the census document on the sole
condition of being allowed to print
his advertisement with the woodcut
of "you dirty boy" upon the back of
the paper. It is not stated whether
the offer has been accepted, but it is
generally believed that the govern
ment will be afraid of a wrong appli
cation by the public of the motto.
The New York Tribune tells u
queer story, without indorsing it how
ever, of an old man in Harlem, who it
is said, was almost a victim of internal
combustion a few days ago. He was
Buffering from rheumatism, and was
told that kerosene oil taken internally
would relieve him. He swallowed a
wineglass full, and soon feeling bet
ter, rilled his pipe for a comfortable
smoke. As he lighted it he saw a blue
flame playing between the match and
his lips, and felt a stinging sensation
within his mouth and throat. Hastily
blowing on the match, his breath
ignited, and a ribbon of the flame ex
tended a distance of a yard from his
lips, while the burning within in
creased. He immediately closed his
mouth, aud placed his fingers on his
nostrils.tbus extinguishing tbeflames.
H3,bfrlieves that but for his presence
of mind he would have met a horrible
death. Some of the neighbors believe
no too; others are skeptical about the
oocurrence. This is what might be
called a tough story.
The Lumber Trade. The follow
ing in reference to the lumber trade,
is an extract from the Clinton Repub
lican, of January 12: There has been
a good trade during the year 1880, at
remunerative priees.but the low water
prevented the getting in of stock. The
shores of the Susquehatina for hun
dreds of miles were lined with logs
aggregating probably one hundred
feet. A late freshet brought these logs
in close proximity to Lock Haven and
Williamsport und about 50,000,000
were got into the booms, but u cold
snap closed the river, und additional
expense lias been incurred in securing
these logs against a break up. The
work lias been accomplished, however,
to a large extent. The stock on hand
falls below that of previous years.
The stock being cut this winter will
probably reach 200,000,000 feet. The
weather has been quite favorable; the
Jobber commenced work early, aud
have been pushing up their work
rapidly; much of the stock is already
14 liked und a waiting the spring floods.

THE BOOK OF THE AGE.
THE PROBLEM OF HUMAN
LIFE HERE AND HEREAFTER.
"by wilford."
This book has unquestionably re
ceived, from the press and the clergy,
stronger praise than any other book
ever published, and is universally ad-
iiiiueti io ue ine on:y woik in exis
tence which absolutely demonstrates
a personal God anil the immortality
of the soul by science alone, without
the aid of the Rible, utterly annihilat
ing the theories of Durw'in, Huxley,
Tyndall, Helmhol'.z and others of the
evolution of man from the lower ani
mals and his extinction at death. No
better proof of the extraordinary char
acter of this work can lie asked than
(lie following extracts from the relig
ious press u mere specimen of hun
dreds equally enthusiastic:
"This is the book of the age, and
the unknown author need aspire to no
greater literary immortality thun the
production of this work will give him,
und thousands of the best educated
minds that have been appalled by the
philosophical teachings of modern
scientists will rise up and call him
blessed" Methodist Protestant,
Baltimore, Md.
"We can truly say that we are
amazed at the originality, thorough
ness, ami marvellous ability of the
autborof this work." New Coven
ant, Chicago.
"It is entirely out of the ordinary
line (-f scientific and philosophical
books, and abounds in arguments of a
most startling character." Herald
and Presbyterian, Ciun.
"Although strictly scientific, its one
aim is the demonstration of a personal
God and a hereafter for humanity. It
is an exhaustless mine of christian
truth. It is the literary chief d'at uvre
oftlie age. All niin'isters and lay
meiibcr should read it. It is an
armory full of the Almighty for the
pulling down of strongholds. It is
worth its weiirbt in diamonds."
Brethren at Work.
"The author (a man of acknowl
edged genius and confessedly the
brightest scientific star of modern
times) bus startled the religious world
into transports of joy and praise. No
religo-scieulific work has received
botli from the seculur and religious
press such willing und unqualified
praise as the Problem of Huniuii Life.
It is the death blow of atheistic

Hair Vigor,
TOM RESTORING GRAY HAirt TO ITS
NATURAL VITALITY AND COLOil.
It is a most agreeable dressing, which
is at once harmless and effectual, for pre
serving the hair. It restores, with the
gloss and freshness of youth, faded or gray,
light, and red hair, to a rich brown, or deep
black, ns may be desired. By its use thin
hair is thickened, and baldness often
though not always cured. It checks falling
of the hair Immediately, and causes a new
growth in all cases where the glands are.
not decayed; while to brashy, weak, or
otherwise diseased hair, it imparts vitality
and strength, nud renders it pliable.
The Vioort cleanses the scalp, cures anf
prevents the formation of dandruff; and,
by its cooling, stimulating, and soothinjj
properties, it heals most if not all of the
humors and diseases peculiar to the scalp,
keeping it cool, clean, and soft, under
which conditions diseases of tho sealp aud
hair arc impossible.
As a Dressing for Ladies' Hair,
The Vioort is incomparable. It is color
less, contains neither oil nor dye, and will
not soil white cambric. It imparts an
agreeable and lasting perfume, and as an
arliclo for the toilet it 4s economical and
unsurpassed in its excellence.
