Tucson, Arizona, May 12.?Major J. W. Wham, U. 8. Paymaster, accompanied by his clerk W. T. Gibbon, left here last Wednesday on a trip to pay troops sta? tioned at Fort Bowie, Grant, Thomas, Ban Carlos and Apache. They went by rail to Wilcox and from that point, by ambulance, overland. The funds paid troops in this department are in coin on account of the scarity of greenbacks. The funds for this pay-trip were sent from Los Angeles, the headquarters of the chief paymaster, by express to Wil? cox. The amount was about $75,000. It was put a strong wood box, banded with iron. This was strapped to the hin? der boot of the ambulance, which carried the paymaster and his clerk. An escort' of ten soldiers in charge of two non commisioned officers accompanied the outfit. The guard ride in a large, opeo, four seat wagon, throe on a seat, so in the case of attack they can form a line and fire from the wagon, on the front and on the rear. The escort carry a large sup? ply of ammunition, and are generally picked soldiers. They follow in rear of ambulance about one hundred and fifty yards. In canyons and. rough country they follow close up to its wheels, so as to be ready for action at a moment's notice. The paymaster disbursed at Fort Bowie Thursday and Fort Grant Friday, which reduced-his treasury to $29,000. ' He left Fort Grant Saturday morning for Fort Thomas, where he expected to pay off daring the afternoon. He bad an escort of ten colored soldiers in command of two colored non-commiBsioned Officsrs. The distance from Grant to Thomas is forty-five miles, through a mountainous and uninhabited country. Cedar Springs Station is about midway, and is made historic' from the fact of being once an Apache stronghold. It was there that the teamstere of Samaniego made the desperate fight in 1883, when not a man survived. A large number of Indians were killed and wounded at that time. The Apaches bad built a rude, strong fort or breastworks, and from behind this position they did their deadly work. It was at this point, three miles north of Cedar Springs, iu a deep narrow gorge, that Major Wham was yesterday attacked. ? As the party approached the point tbey fonnd the road obstructed by several large rocks. Several of the escort got out of their "wagons, leaving their guns behind them, and proceeded to remove the rocks from the road. As the gather? ed around a huge bowlder a galling fire came pouring down from the cliffs and breastworks. At the first fire several of them fell. The others rushed back for their guns and the battle began. Major Wham's driver was wounded early in the fight and crawled away into the bushes. Daring the fight eight of the escorts were wounded,, four of them fatally. The shooting was at short range. Clerk Gibbon received several bullet holes through his clothing. Major Wham was untouched, although the ambulance' was riddled with bullet holes. The battle continued for half an hour before Major Wham yielded, but seeing that the rob? bers were completely protected, and it meant certain death to? his entire party, I h?f was forced to yield to their demands,' The box of.coin was taken containing $29,000. As the telegraph line from Thomas to Wilcox is under the control of the military authorities, they refuse to allow the fall details of the fight to be sent out to the public. A special from Port Grant says the wonnded driver of Major Wham was found last evening by D. D. Norton, who heard the firing at a di?tauce of nearly two miles and went to ascertain its cause* He brought in the driver and sent a courier to this place for troops, who .were at once sent out in all directions to intercept the robbers if pos? sible. From the best advices it appears that they, have gone in the direction of New Mexico, up the Gila Valley. Lieuten? ant Wilson has taken to the field with a large body of Apache Indians. Troops have also been sent out from Fort Thom? as, San Carlos, Bowie, Huachuca, Fort Lowell and Tucson to cut off the escape of the robbers't? Mexico. United States Marshal W. K. Meade, with a posse, has also taken the field. ' A troop of cavalry from Fort-Grant ba3 gone to the place of the robbery to pursue the gang and & company of in? fantry will picket Graham mountains. It is thought that the robbers were led by two old offenders, recently par? doned from the penitentiary, who are the most desperate men of their kind in the Southwest. There will be desperate fighting-before they be retaken. This is the first time in the history of Arizona that a paymaster of the army has been molested by highwaymen. A flint to Ushers. People will never learn, in this pro? bationary state, liow to take their seats in church. If a woman weighs two hun? dred and odd pounds and has a lap about three inches long, she is going to wedge herself on the end of the pew so that others who come have to press around ?her. A man with thigh bones thirty-two inches long is sure to get on the end of the seat, although he is the first comer. People will never get Christian politeness enough to seat themselves in a sensible way when they go to church. If the pew is open at both ends let the first to enter go to the middle of it; or if one end is against the wall, let the filling begin at the wall end. It is very un> pleasant for ladies to be crawling over barricades of bones or squeezing around several hundred pounds of flesh to get to the middle of the pew. Some of the church-goers who read this will block up the end of pews next Sunday. Watch them and see if they don't. The ushers should move such up with a sharp slick. ?Carolina Spartan.

Bnd'Worm? In Young Corn, Two years ago the writer sustained! a great deal of damage by bud worms in corn, but finally "got ahead of them," and the plan adopted might be of inter? est to the public, as it is very simple, as follows: As boo a as they put in an ap? pearance as you will observe by the bud leaves of the little stalk wilting and dy? ing, bear off the rows close as you would cotton, and go through with the hoes and take the dirt away from the stalk, as near as you can, down to where the roots branch out, and you will find yourself victor. Do not be afraid of injuring your corn; it will stand this treatment and even thrive until it ii too large for the worms to hurt, when you may work the dirt back to it. The philosophy,'is, these fellows inhaoit the ground and can enter the stalk only under the ground and at the point in the stalk where the little blades are forming, and when the dirt' is taken away below this point he is at his row's end. He cannot bore into -the'stalk above the ground for want of something to hold to or with, while he is working, and he will not bare among the roots; and if he did, he would not find his dainty morsel?the little buds. There are many theories in relation to these little pests, and if any of your readers entertain ideas of them inconsUt -ant with the above, and at the same time suffering from their ravages, if they will only give the above a thorough test on p single row, they will not only be al? most, but entirely "persuaded."?South? ern Cultivator. a,, _ Coolie Bagging: Must Go. There can be no doubt that the jute bagging trust baa butted, its brains out against the wall erected by the cotton planters of the South. The jute trust had a very easy time of it last year, but even then the farmers' alliance had the nerve to fight it and destroy some of its prospective profits. This year the alliance took time by the forelock, warned by the threats of the trust, and . has proceeded to make up a programme that will cause the jute man? ufacturers a great deal of trouble, even if it does not push them to the wall. The farmers of Georgia and South Carolina-have already decided to take four million yards of cotton bagging, such as can be readily supplied by rail 1b in Geor? gia and Louisiana, and now the farmers of Louisiana pledge themselves to Lake two million yards more, making'six mil? lion yards for the three States. This action definitely settles the jute trust trouble. Even if the farmers of no other cotton State were to move in the matter?though they will all fall into line heartily?the jnte trust would be de? stroyed. The loss on the sales of six million yards would cut such a hole in the profits of the combine that the mills which have stocks on band would be glad to sell jnte bagging to the farmers at a greatly reduced price; but the alliance men are pledged not to buy jute bagging on any terms, so that the bagging trust may be said to have crawled into a very deep hole and pulled it in after them. But the alliance movement is more far reaching than any attempt, to break up the jnte trust could be. It contemplates happier results than the mere breaking up of a jnte bagging combine; it contem? plates the creation of a new market for the lower grades of cotton which will be used in the manufacture of bagging; and it will, in fact, give to the sooth a new industry. The exchanges and the cotton insurance companies appear to favor the change, and there seems to be no reason whatever why the southern cotton planters should not forever give np the use of coolie bagging. ?Atlanta Constitution. A Georgia Opinion of the Homestead Law. The Atlanta Constitution contains an article from the Marietta, Ga., Journal upon the homestead law, which is such a clear, dispassionate analysis of a mbat important law that we reproduce it for the benefit of our readers 80 unpopular has the homestead law become in Georgia that its provisions are verygeldom taken, advantage of. We have not averaged one advertisement in five years for homestead exemptions. The right given by the legislature to em? body in a note a homestead waiver has practically abolished the homestead law. What use it can be now, only to encum? ber legal documents, is a question many thoughtful minds have been revolving. It certainly is not helping the poor man to get credit because he is required , to waive all homestead exemptions before he can buy guano or provisions on time. Then where is there any advantage to grow out of it to anybody, unless some negligent or careless person credits some one without taking a waiver? Those who have taken the homestead find that they have placed their property in such legal embarrassment-and difficulties as to be unable to secure credit, and . they worry, fuBs and fume, and wish they bad never availed themselves of the home? stead law. Then if we look at the moral aspect, it is not the square thing to hold property to the deprivation of an honest creditor. The best way for a man to leave his wife and children a home is to keep ont of debt, and by economy and industry buy a home and leave it to them unencumbered. Good collection laws will increase public confidence and en? able a man to get credit much easier than under exemptions laws that create doubt and suspicion. We believe in everybody having a home. People who own their homes make a community of common welfare and mntual interests. They make better citizens, feel more in? terested in good order, law and protection of society. But every man who owns a home should buy it with his. own money, and not his neighbor's. Let every incen? tive to honesty be inculcated by good, wholesome laws, and the people will grow more prosperous, contented and happy under them. Cancer is a form of blood poison which is not understood by the medical profession as to its real nature and character, but it is evidently hereditary in its nature. It may accidentally develop itself without any predisposition or evidence of such exist? ing poison. The knife or caustic Balves have heretofore been the so-called reme? dies for it, but all honest practitioners will tell you that this treatment fails to cure, and only hastens fatal results. Thousands of cases of epithelioma (skin) cancers, and a great many cases of ocirr hns cancers, have been entirely cured by the use of Swift's Specific. It forces the poison out through the cancer itself, and the pores of the skin. My father had cancer; my husband had cancer, in .fact died with it. In 1875 a lump came on my nose, which steadily increased in size, and alarmed me. I used various remedies?salves and other' applications, and finally tried to burn it out, but the sore returned worse than ever, growing larger and more angry, un? til I determined to try Swift's Specific. I took the medicine, and it soon made a complete cure. I know that S. S. S. cur? ed me, cause I discarded all other reme? dies. This was eeveral years ago, and I have had no sign of a return of the can? cer. Mrs\ M. T. Maben, April 5th, 1889. Woodbury Tex. Treatise on Blood and Skin Diseases mailed free. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., Drawer 3, Atlanta Ga. ? Various theories have been proposed to account for baldness, which prevails to such an extent in civilized countries. A Swiss writer in Science attributes it to a miscroscopic funguB, which, however, he has not as yet been able to describe, or indeed to discover. He thinks that bar? bers should be compelled to disinfect their combs and brushes. ? Contracts have been signed by which the State of New York has purchased for the electrical execution of condemned criminals three Westioghouse a'ternating current electric light dynamos. The State prisons at Sing Sing, Auburn and Clinton are each to have one of these deadly machines, which will be driven by engines already in place. The current will be applied to the unfortunate at the game pressure used by this system for electric lighting, and the State's experi? ments have shown that death will ensue in less than twenty seconds. ? ?
