scw-s THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE: WASHINGTON, D. 0., THURSDAY, JUNE 22, 1893. 8 v UNCLE SAlfS INDIAN POLICE, -...., One of the Means Taken to Discipline the Refractory Redskin. NDTANS for policemen. Horo is an apparent paradox. And yet Uncle Sam has ns fine a body of nnlinn tzn fnr a a t.lA itVWvNsJB 'JJl ability to preservo dis Voo$jji . ciplino is concerned, at as there is in the great cities. The establishment of a body of police made np of Indians wherewith to maintain order among Indians, was an experiment of not very many years standing, but it has proved an undoubted Buccess, and is now a feature of all the Indian Agencies of the great Northwest. Ono of the secrets of the power and influence of these Indian police is the fact that it is well known that they will do anything they are or dered by the authorities to do, regardless of the consequences. They have no niorcy. There is no winking at overt acts, treacherous as the Indian nature is known to be. There is no shirking of duty. The wrongdoer is as sure of quick retribution as he is of death, and in tho event of his getting away, ho knows his pur suers will not leave tho trail uutil he is caught These men seem to be thoroughly converted to the interests of the Government, aud their faithfulness was demonstrated two years ago during tho Piue Bidgo troubles, when a pro- umm -wm (A longed and bloodly war was expected between all Indians and the Government. The entire force of Indian police at that place then con sisted of some 70 men. When the great stam pede of friendly Indians from the side of the Government took place only four or five of the Indian policemen were among tho number. On the day the hostiles attacked the Agency the Indian police made a desperate resistance, tak ing positions directly at the points of attack and exchanging hundreds of shots with the en emy. The plucky behavior of these whilom savages certainly had much to do with the fortunate termination of the affair. Ono of the bravest and most talked abont of tho Indian police in tho Northwest is Capt. Sword, Chief at tho Pine Ridge Agency. Many interesting stories are told of his valor. It was during tho agency of Dr. V. T. McGil licuddy that he prohibited dancing on tho reservation on Sunday. Noth withstanding this, he was informed ono Sunday morning that a great dance was in progress at the camp of White Bird, some miles from tho Agency. Dr. McGillicnddy sent the Indian polico to tell the savages to stop dancing. The dancing In dians retorted that if McGillicuddy wanted tho dancing stopped he must come and stop it him self. So, realizing that the only way to deal with soch a matter was to "take no dares," but act decisively, the Agent sent a larger body under Serg't Sword, directing him to get the drum used in the dancing and arrest tho most impu dent ones of the dancers. When Serg't Sword arrived at tho Indian camp he found the dancers sulky and disposed to make trouble for him. Upon their refusal to surrender tho drum, however, Serg't Sword, without a word, and so quickly that the Indians were taken by surprise, strode up to the savage who held the instrument, and ripped the drum head with his knife. There was considerable uproar for a few moments, but the Indian polico stood firm and succeeded in bringing the dis turbers, with tho rained drum, back before Agent McGillicuddy. The Indians from all over tho country hear ing of the affair now came pouring in, and the excitement was intense. There was at that hour great danger of an outbreak, so much so that tho accidental discharge of a gnn would probably have precipitated one. But McGilli cuddy acted with vigor, lodged the offenders in jail, and the Indians dispersed shortly after ward. Another of the stories told of Capt. Sword is that he was once ordered, single-handed, to go to a distant part of the reservation and bring in, dead or alive, an Indian who was wanted for the murder of another member of his tribe. Many days had passed without any news being received at the Agency from the policeman, when ono day Sword drove into tho Agency in a wagon which had been borrowed from an Indian for the occasion. Driving up to tho door of tho Agent's office. Sword jumped to the ground, and, walking to the rear of the wagon, drew from it the dead body of the Indian he had been Eent after. Taking hold of the corpse, is about the same manner that a farmer would ItfV' -c&2$ Chief Ieon Nation. tko hold of a sack of wheat, Sword dragged it into the Agent's office, dropped it on tho floor at the Agent's foet, reported, and left the office as unconcerned as though nothing unusual had happened. The prompt arrest of the Indians implicated in the murder of tUe whites at Humphrey's Eancb recently, on the northwestern border of me irmo xtiuge reservation, after a dosperato fight, in which several on both sides were killed, ia to be credited to Capt. Sword aud tho brave policemen under him. Receiving orders to arrest the murderers, thoy promptly went to No Water's camp, whore the criminals had taken refuge, and although greatly outnum bered, and surrounded by scores of tho most desperate Indians on the Sioux reservation, thay stood their ground, and after a brief but bloody fight succeeded in killing or arresting the Indians they wore sent for. It will be remembered how a posse of In dian police went to the camp of Sitting Bull a little more than two years ago, and, after a battlo with him and his warlike followers, succeeded in killing tho noted Indian whose asae was known throughout tho world. Sit ting Bull's killing by Indian police, composed of i selected from tho tribes that had resided With Sitting Bull for years, shows that these roffik !ff mm TO 04 &MhM h,&i&m&TmmM&jmmz x ijir .-' tu wvwr vt'twi5.asj.( y jxaik .,r-4tcrzs&ixfwv3 . a sra- -& -z vzjr. jc'Mr?zirfifm.Kiirr'jj. -W A M&JW- ..VgaS! .riw jjj. . finTTSr" w -vi - - - -- policoobey orders, regardless of what tho ordors may be, or at whose head they are directed. It was in tho Fall of 1690 that' a young man named Hugh Boylo, who was visiting an undo in tho vicinity of tho Tongno Elver reserva tion, was murdered, and tho crimo was fixed beyond dtfiibt upon two young Cheyenne braves. The murderers fled to tho mountains aud eluded soarch. An attempt was mado to settle the affair by a gift of 30 ponies through Handsome Elk. tho relatives of tho youug men. Upon this being refused, they sent word that they would appear at the Agency fully armed, and would show Agent Cooper how Choyeunes could fight and die. A leval tract of ground in front of tho Agency was selected for this remarkablo duel, and hero tho Indian polico took a stand. Pres ently tho young criminals appeared, gayly dressed and in full war paint, with their horses handsomely decorated. The Indian police stood like rocks to receive them, and a heavy vm The Indian Police at Pine Ridge. fire at once opened on either side. After ono of the ponies of the two Cheyennes was killed and tho other Indian had his arm broken the two Cheyennes retreated to a high range of hills, and from there the fieht was continued for some time. The affair did not end there, but Eome days after ono of tho Cheyennes was killed by a detachment of cavalry which hap pened across his path, and the other later met his fate at the hands of the Indian police. Dur ing the fight hundreds of Cheyennes stood ex citedly watching tho scene, and several times displayed an inclination to rush down and overwhelm tho plucky police, who stood their ground notwithstanding. A young brave at the Lower Brule Agency some years ago, whoso name was Handsome Elk, had somo trouble with another Indian, went to his home, and shot him. On the strength of the testimony of Indians who saw tho deed, and despite tho flat denials of Hand some Elk as to having committed tho crime, an order was issued for his arrest. Handsome Elk sent word to the Indian police that ho would kill the first persou who attempted to arrest him, and Handsome Elk's valor was well known. Ho was, after a search, located at tho cabin of a friend somo distance from tho Agency. Fire Thunder, Chief of the Polico, and two men set out to run down Handsome Elk. As they approached thoy saw him and his friend enter a Summer-arbor near the cabin. In the rear of tho arbor was a ravine, and after con siderable znanuvering tho pursuers managed to Capt. Geoege Swoed. get into it Leaving his two men behind tho arbor Fire Thunder entered, raising hi3 empty hands to signify to tho startled braves that he meant peace. He inquired for some stray ponies, and finally was asked to sit down and have a talk. Handsome Elk, however, sat with his back towards the door and his rifle across his knee. After sitting some little time FJro Thunder arose to his feet, presumably for tho purpose of inspecting some article within tho arbor, and during tho inspection chanced, purposely, to approach close to where Handsome Elk was still sitting on tho ground. This was tho op portunity for which the Chief of Polico had waited, and with tho leap of a panther ho sprang upon tho recumbent form of the crimi nal, pinning him to tho ground. Giving a signal to the two policemen who had remained quietly outside, they speedily entered the arbor and the murderer was made a captive. Handsome Elk was afterwards tried in a regular court convened in a border town, aud, although the testimony against him was con clusive, he was acquitted. After his release he was greatly pleased and was heard to say to some Indian friends that ho would never kill another Indian, thus practically acknowledging his guilt. Columns could be filled with anecdotes re garding tho bravery of tho Indian police, who havo the reputation throughout tho reserva tions and along the border of possessing great nervo and being a terror to all Indian evil doers. The good order prevailing on the In dian reservations throughout tho West is elo quent testimony of the efficiency of the Indian polico at the various largo Agencies. In the accompanying illustration Capt. Sword is designated by an asterisk. Tho heavily-built white man in the contcr is ex Agont Gallagher, with Interpreter Wells beside him. Preparing for Trouble. The Stato Department anticipates trouble 1n Peru this Fall, aud is making preparations to protect American interests in that country by the presence of ono or more men-of-war. The Alliance arrived last week at Corinth, Nicar agua, whero she was ordered in case of need during the revolution in the latter country. Tho annual election of the Peruvian Republic occurs this Autumn, and as thero aro many important questions arisiug out of the cam paign, principally over the possession of tho nitrate beds by Chile, a revolution ie feared. The Alliance will go and remain at Callao, Peru, until relieved by tho Philadelphia, which will leave New York somo time this week.

Regard less of the Numerous Objections Raised. Tho vandals aro plodding away with their work of destruction, with a determination to do all tho damage possible boforo their course is rnn. Last week a gang working on tho north slope of Little Round Top, near Gibbs's Ohio Battery Monument, dug np some human bones, ovidently those of soldiers of MacCand less's Brigade of Pennsylvania Reserves. With out any hesitation, aud with utter disregard for the sacrodness of the remains of those who had diod in their native State, the bones were flung into tho carts with tho dirt and dumped with the refuse. One man, a citizen of the town, gathered as many of the bones as possi ble, and gavo them decent burial. In front of tho " Bloody Anglo" tho work men aro digging and desecrating with as much confidence as though their way was not entirely blocked by tho 72d burial plot. Tlio trolley managers aro working on each sido of it, but especially betwoon it and the Reading Rail road. They are now asserting that they own enough land west of tho 72d to run their track around it, and even have staked off tho neces sary distance. What their object is in making a claim that is proven false by tho records, as made by their own engineer and on file in the courthouse, ia difficult to understand, unless they thinlc that thoy can intimidate tho Land and Improvement Company into selling them tho necessary right of way. They have, it is understood, offered $1,000 for enough land to go around the 72d's plot, but they could not bny it for $10,000, and the gentleman in charge will put an injunction on them tho moment they begin to work on tho land. Ouartormastcr-Genoral Levering, of the Pennsylvania G.A.R., was there to make some initial nrrangementB for tho Department -Lu-campmont in July. Ho went over tho lipid and'was thoroughly enraged at tho destruction mi V wrought by tho trolley vandals. "It is worso in tho Valley of Death," ho said. " There it is absolutely sacriligious. I can't express how horrible the wholo thing seems to me." Four Polar Expeditions. During tho coming year four explorers will start for tho north polo to find fanio and glory. Lieut. Peary will start soon for Greenland and endeavor to reach the polo by that route. His new expedition contemplates tho further ex ploration of tho north aud east coasts of Green land, partly on tho frozen surface of tho sea and partly ovor the Greenland ice-cap a3 tho main line of travel. The three other arctic expeditions will, Iiko tho unfortunato Jeannntte, enter tho Ice pack from North Siberian waters. Nanscn, tho well known explorer, proposes simply to enter tho ice-pack from a point not far from whore the Jeaunctte was crushed in 1831, and allow his ship to bo drifted by the pack in its own course for a period of somo two or three years. That thero is a steady but slow drift northward from the Siberian waters to the coast of Greenland has been established by tho fact that pieces of clothing and part of the ship's papers of the Jcannetto were picked np on the ice of Julianohaub, southwest of Greenland. Nanscn proposes to enter this drift in tho expectation that it may carry him across tho polo and ulti mately land him on the Greenland coast. Tho third expedition, that of Ekroll, will leave Cape Mohn, on tho east coast of Spitz bergen, during tho present month in a boat which can be taken to pieces and converted into a number of sleds. The point of departure when the ice is reached is Petermau's Land, an island north of Francis Joseph Land. From tho latter Ekroll contemplates a direct advance to the pole, with a return, if possible, by way of Fort Conger, in Lady Franklin's Bay. Tho fourth expedition is that organized by Mr. Frederick J. Jackson, a follow of the Royal Geographical Society of London. Capt. Albert H. Markham, tho famous arctic explorer, has expressed the opinion that the nearest approach to the polo can be made from FranciB Joseph Land. He expects to push further north and establish a depot of supplies in or about tho 8-ith or 85th latitude. From there, still con tinuing his journey overland, if thero bo laud beyond this limit, he proposes to establish a third depot within 200 miles of tho pole. There ho would take up his Winter quarters, and the next Summer make his final effort to reach tho pole. ' m Trouble in Samoa. Trouble is brewing in the Samoan Islands, and it is expected to result in open war, at least that is what is judged from a cablegram received at tho State Department. Ever sinco the tripartite protectorate over Samoa tho islands have been in a disturbed state. Ma taafa, who acted as King during King Mali ctoa's enforced nbsonco preceding tho Borlin conference, has never admitted that he has ceased to bo Xing, and, taking np a strong position on ono of the les3er islands of tho Sa moan group, has really maintained himself in tho nativo regal style. Ho has always had numerous adherents, and of lato tho troubles that King Malietoa has encountered in the effort to govern his kingdom havo driven many moro of the inhabitants over to tho sido of Ma taafa. The disaffection has become so serious in extent that Malietoa has felt it to bo neces sary to crush out tho aspirant for tho throne, and tho advices received at tho State Depart ment indicate that open warfare is now about to begin. Not Sufficient Cause. A short time sinco Senator Jones, of Arkan sas, called upon the President and recom mended the removal of a Republican office holder in the State. Tho Chief Executive wanted to know what charges tho Senator was willing to prefer against the incumbent. "I charge him with being au active and aggressive Republican," was tho reply. The President was not satisfied with this, and wautod to know if ho had no stronger charges to make than that. "That should bo sufficient under a Democratic Administration," retorted the Sena tor, " and that is as far as I will go in this matter. You may uso your own pleaauro about it. I will not prefer charges against the in tegrity of tho incumbent, and 1 havo advised my friends not to do so." It is stated that Sonator Gorman, of Maryland, had a similar experience. He could make no charges against tho integrity or efficiency of tho individual, aud thought that his being a Republican should be sufficient for his removal, but tho President informed him that ho had instructed his Cabi net not to rnako removals upon charges of partisanship alouo. A Repeal BUI. Judging by tho answers sent by the Mem bers of Congress to inquiries as to how they will voto on the quostiou of repealing :tho Sherman act, thero will not bo much difficulty in getting a repeal bill through in tho early days of the extra session. Tho friends of ro poal soom to outnumber its opponents very largely, and if tho question could bo narrowed down to simply repealing the Sherman law there would he little difficulty about it. Tho only trouble is that there will doubtless bo at tempts to load the repeal bills up with other money legislation, and thero is where there will bo great diversity of opinion. Tho idea seems to bo very general that if the Sherman law be repealed some legislation ought to bo enacted for increasing the vol u mo of tho cur rency to at least as great an extent as its monthly increase under tho Sherman act. A GREprCASE Close of the Trial of Lizzie A. Borden for a DonlilftiMurder. Afe No. 92 Second streofcydn tho heart of Fall River, Mass., a town of o 80,000 inhabitants, within a sqnaro or twe'foTcrtho City Hall, lived Andrew J. Borden, bis. wife, Abbie D. Bordon, and two daughters Emma: Borden, the elder, and Lizzie A. Borden, thedefendant in this case, Lizzie Border? who is a young woman, 32 years of age. Tho only other inmate of the houso was a servant, Bridget Sullivan. Tho mothor of the two young women, who aro tho only children of Androw J. Borden, died somo 20 years ago. 'Abbio Bordon was their stoptnother. Androw Borden was a man worth somo $300,000 or ovor, generally roputod as closo and penurious and exacting in his business doaliug3. Ho wa3 President of tho Union Savings Bank, owner of considerablo real estate and manufacturing stocks. On the 4th day of Angnst, 1892, somo tirao between tho hours of 9 and 11:15 a. m., An drew Bordon and his wifo wore murdered in their homo. Their heads wore horribly hacked with a hatchet or somo similar weapon. Only two persons besides tho murdered man aud woman wore known to havo loon in the house during the timo within which tho murder must havo occurred. Theso wore Lizzie Borden and Bridgot Sullivan. John V. Morso, tho matornal nuclo of Emma and Lizzie, was a visitor at tho house, but left tho houso early in tho morning and did not return until after tho discovory of the crimo. Emma was absent on a visit to Now Bedford. Andrew Borden went out abont 9. Ac cording to tho tostimony of the medical experts at the trial which is being hold, Mrs. Borden must havo been killed from an hour to an hour and a half bofore Mr. Bordon, which would place the timo of her murder at 9:30 o'clock or thereabouts, as Mr. Bordon camo back at 10:45. During all this time Bridgot Sullivan was, sho claimed at tho trial, washing windows. She passed to and fro down stairs and occasionally wont out into tho yard, and for a little whilo during this time sho stopped her work and ongaged in conversation with a servant girl across the fence. She said sho did not see any one come into or leave the houso, although somo ono might havo boon able to do so with out her seeing him. Sho did not sco Lizzio Borden during this time, either. When Mr. Borden came baolc at 10:45, Bridgot lot him into tho houso, and sho stated that at that moment Lizzio was standing at the head of tho front stairway. If this wa3 so, it is possiblo tbatshe might bavoseen her mother's body nu dor tho bed, but it is by no means certain that eho was standing at tho turn in tho stairs whero sho could soe this. Mr. Bordon went np Andrew Borden, tho .back Btaira to his room and returned, and lay down on thelounge. In answer to his inquiry, Lizzio said Mrs. Borden Iind been called away by a note to see a sick friend. This noto ha3 never been found, nor has tho alleged sick person over appeared. Tho last timo Bridgot Sullivan saw Lizzio was just as she started to go up-stairs to lio down. At that moment Lizzio was carrying an ironing-board into tho kitchen. Just before Bridget fell asleep sho heard tho town clock striko 11. It was about 15 minntes later that bIio heard Lizzio calling to her that her father was killed. His body was found lying on tho sofa in the sitting-room, his skull cut open, and blood staining the surrounding objects. Lizzie dispatched Bridgot for Dr. Bowen, who lived near by. Then sho sat down on the front door stops. In a few minutes Mrs. Addio Churchill, a neighbor, camo along and asked what tho matter was. Sho told Mr. and Mrs. Churchill of tho murder of her father. Mrs. Churchill camo to tho houso at once and asked for Mrs. Bordon. Lizzie know nothing of her whereabouts, but called to mind the fact that herstepmothor had told her previously that she had received a note from a friend, and in responso was intend ing to call on that friend. However, Bridget was requested to look for her mistress, but sho objected to going alone, and Mrs. Churchill went with her. As tho two women approached the top of tho stairs loading to tho second floor they saw on the floor of tho guest chamber the body of Mrs. Bordon. It was loarncd that she, too, had been murdered in about tho samo manner her hus band had been, viz., with several blows from somo heavy, sharp instrument, probably an ax or a hatchet. According to Lizzie's own statoment sho was with her father when ho lay down on the sofa, and took off his boots and got his slippers. Then, she says, sho went into tho yard ; stopped a few moments to gather and eat somo pears; went into tho barn and spent 20 minutes or so searching for lead to make fishing-line sinkers. When she returned to the houso sho found her father's dead body lying on the sofa. On Aug. 11 Lizzio Borden was arrested, and later was committed to the Taunton jail. Be fore tho trial sho was taken to tho jail at Now Bedford. Dr. Bowen, Mrs. Churchill and Mrs. Russell, as well as Bridget her self, all testified that there was nothing un usual about Lizzio's dress, that her hair was smooth and in order, and that sho gavo no indications of having recently had violent exercise. Everythingshe wore, even to the solos of her shoes, was submitted to the minutest scien tific examination by Mrs. Borden. experis, witn trie re suit that no blood, except one spot as large as a pin's head on her skirt, was found. A belief in the double guilt of Lizzio Borden means this, that with her mother lyiug slaugh tered up-stairs sho went calmly about her ordi nary household duties; that eho chatted and laughed with Bridget, and then took herchunces on Bridget getting out of the way long enough for her to slip into tho room and split open lior father's head as it lay resting on the pillow, which sho had smoothed for him to rest upon. It involves also believing that after butchering her mother with Bridget about the house aud apt to co mo up-stairs at any moment, she was ablo to niako way with iher weapon and her blood-soaked garments of slaughter as quickly and doftly as she did after the murdor of her father. On Monday, Juno 5, the trial of Lizzio Bor don began. It has been hold boforo Chief JuBt ico Mason and Associate Justices Blodgett and Dowry. The prisoner has been defended by ox-Gov. Georgo D. Robinson, Lawyers Androw J. Jennings, of Fall River, and Melvin O. Adams, of Boston. Tho prosecution has been conducted by District Attorney Kuowltou and Assistant District Attorney Henry Moody, of tho Eastern District. It is sufficient to say that in tho courso of tho trial the eutiro case of tho Government has been negatived by tho fact that tho defense has been able to show the opposite thing to that which has been charged against Lizzie could havo been go. Tho prosecution has proved nothing. It has been totally at losa to 1 account for tho way in which Lizzie, if guilty, could have removed all traces of each crimo so soon after its commission. Tho police of Fall River have plnyed a very dastardly part, as, judging from their actions, it would scorn that thoy had docided from tho first that Lizzio was guilty, and tried their best, oven to the extent of lying in tho witness box, to secure hor conviction. But the defenso ably proved tho falsity of thoir assertions, and nullified the effect of any of their testimony which horo against tho prisoner. Tho fact of Lizzio having burned a blue dross a fow days after the murder was proved by tho dofense to havo boon a porfectly reason able proceeding and in keeping with tho habits of tho Borden family. It was shown that in stead of Lizzio boing at "outs" with her step mother, sho was on pleasant enough tornis with her. The prosecution failed to show a motivo for tho crime that was satisfactory. In substantiation of Lizzio's statement, that sho wont out into tho barn, etc.. a pedler was found who testified that ho saw Lizzio Borden coming from tho direction of tho barn towards tho house at a fow minutes past 11. Of courso Lizzio Bordon might havo gono to the barn and did as sho said after having murdered hor father, but tho prosecution could not show that. The evidence that Lizzio had attempted to buy prussic acid was ruled out as irrelevant. It was shown that her family physician had administered morphia to tho prisoner after tho murdor, and hi any event trifling discrepancies in hor story whilo laboring under strong ex citement woro to bo expected, and the physician tostified that tho morphia might affect her momory at tho inquest. This ovidenco givon boforo the Coronor's in quest by tho prisonor was ruled out, becauso sho was under arrest when sho gavo it. This was considered a point of groat import ance to the defense. It was showu to havo been the custom to bolt the front door to keop it from flying open. The effort to connect Liz zio with tho hatchet or any other woapon failed. All this was shown by tho prosecuting witnesses, and, furthor, that tho theory of ex clusivo opportunity was supported only by nogativc tostimony. Tho prosecution closed without having scored a point of importance. Tho defense brought up fow witnesses. Tho caso was arguotLbriefly, and-sent to the jury. A verdict of not guilty is doubtless forthcoming. A Scottish American Monument. The Town Council of Edinburgh, Scotland, recently gavo a plot in the Calton Hill Ceme tery for tho intermont of Scottish soldiers who sorvod in tho American civil war. Mr. Wallace Bruce, the American Consul, started to raise funds for an appropriate mnnumcut to mark the spot, aud was successful in raising about $6,000. The commission was appropriately as signed to Mr. George E. B'is3ell, a well-known sculptor aud army votoran. Ho took as hl3 idea " Lincoln Emancipating tho Slave," a subject happily chosen for a monumont in Great Britain, as it represents tho consummation of Saxon freedom for whioh Wilberforco and his co-laborer3 so grandly wrought. Tho monu mont will bo 15 feet in bight (Lincoln in bronze, life-sizo, six feot four inches, with freed slavo at his feot, pointing to Lincoln as the liberator of his raco). By bis side aro tho im plements of war, and tho flags of Scotland and tho United States. A Scottish cap surmounts them, and above, on tho die, is tho shield of tho United States surrounded by the floral em blems of the two countries (tho Thistle and the Golden Rod). Tho stone work, nino feot in bight and nino feet at the base, is of red Peter head granite, all polished, except the lower base, which will be rock-faced. The Hon. Chauncoy M. Depew has consented to deliver tho oration at tho dedication, which will take placo some time in August. The Old Wr Ship EBsex. Tho old war-ship Essex is now lying at the Norfolk Navy-yard, and has been ordered out of commission. Sho ha3 ju3t returned after a cruise of a number of yearn in the South At lantic station, and will bo used in the future as a training-ship for gunnery practice by the Naval apprentices, after being overhauled and repaired. Sho will bo stationed at Nowport, and her old battery of muzzle-loaders will be replaced by rapid-firing gunB. OR NO PAY. Nothing Fairer Than This.

If You Want a Watch for Nothing Read this Carefully. "We have 10,000 watches, which are not for Bale, but we propose to give every one of them away in the next sixty days. In this enterprise we shall not only eclipse all other publishers in the matter of premiums, but break our own record. THE FACE. DESCRIPTION OF THE WATCH. This watch is a timepiece guaranteed to run with accuracy. It need only be wound once every twenty-four hours. No key has to be carried, but it wind3 and sets by a peienfc attachment shown in the cut of the works. The face, therefore, need not be opened to set it. It is suitable to carry in the pocket or to hang upon the wall in bedroom or parler To save space tho cuts are slightly reduced in size, the face of the watch being one and seven-eighths of an inch in diameter and about an inch thick. It is no heavier than an ordinary silver watch, and but a trifle thicker. It has a strong, quick beat, and runs in any position, either at a standstill or in motion, and is not affected by heat or cold. It is open-faced, with a heavy glass crystal. The case is polished and lacquered to resemble gold. This material is frequent ly advertised as firegilt Our arrangements for the watch compel us to put a time limit upon this offer. We can only furnish this premium to those who order within sixty days. TVe regret to be obliged to place any limit whatever, but the club is so small that it will not incon venience anyone, we trust, to send in his names for the premium at once. One or two nam 63 sent in at a time, with money for same, will be credited toward the club of five, and when five names at $1 each have been sent, the sender can ask for the watch, and it will be sent him postage prepaid. In order to demonstrate our entire confidence in our proposition, we guarantee th delivery of the watch in good running orderj but if it should have been damaged in th mail, it can be returned to us for exchange.

This statement does not seem reasonable upon the face of it, but our readers know that the extension of a subscription list to any newspaper involves an enormous ex penditure in advertising, and for other pur poses. A new subscriber to any newspaper costs more than the publisher receives, owing to the expense incurred in procuring him. It is only subscribers who continue their patronage year after year who are profitable from a pecuniary standpoint.
