Albuquerque, Au. 20 Nano' s band
of Apaches is heading south, ' closely
followed by Lieutenant Guilfoylo and
other troops. They have killed two
Mexicans on their route whose bodies
have boon found. .
On the afternoon of the 17th Captain
Custavus Valois, scouting on the head
waters of the Cuchillo Negro in the
Black Range, with "1"' Company,
Ninth Cavalry, came upon a. band of
Indians and had a tight which lasted
till dark. The hostiles lost several dead,
leaving four on the. lield. The troops
had Lieutenant Burnett wounded
twice, one soldier killed, two bad
ly wounded ahd six horses killed.
Next morning General Hatch, who was
with the troous. dispatched valors
again on the trail and couriers were
sent to Lieut. Taylor's scouts with or
ders to intercept the band. Public ex
citement is very great and militia com
panies are being organized for protec
tion. Infantry detachments are
guarding the railroad from San Mar
cial to Doming. So far thirty victims
have fallen and have been gathered in
bv the Apaches not counting the loss of
troops. On the 18th inst., in the even
pig, news just received states that Lieut.
Tavlor's scouts had a firht with
the hostiles in the Black Kangi
capturing a camp and twenty horses,
two soldiers being wounded. There
were two white men with the Indians.
They were plainly seen by the troops.
Every available cavalry man under
General Hatch's command is in the
held and pursuit is kept up with energy
and effect. The citizens of, Socorro
county have asked the Governor to call
out the militia for the protection of the
mining camps, the number of troop:
being entirely too small for that task
The arrival of the two companies of
cavalry ordered from Fort Lewis to
Fort Craig, has been delayed on ae

Felix McDonald.
The EveiiingChroniclesays: Bernard
McDonald, who sent the iirst dispatch,
was Daly's old foreman when the latter
had charge of the "Little Chief" mine.
Felix McDonald was foreman of the
"Denver City" under Shedd' a manage
ment. Both' went to New Mexico with
Daly February last and have been in
his employ, developing vast mining in-
iterests there, jointly owned by George
D. Roberts, New York; J Whitaker
Wright, Philadelphia; W. G. Shedd of
Leadville, and other parties. In the
absence of details it is supposed that
Daly came to his death in an engage
ment with a band of Apaches, whose
depredations in Southern New Mexico
have been telegraphed from the Terri
tory during the past few days. The
probabilities, are that the hostile'
threatened raid upon the men and
property of the company represented
)V him, and that he organized a force
to run them out of the country, with
the result above indicated. Daly was
an intrepid, fearless man and doubtless
risked his life in a rash endeavor to
cope with odds too great for his com
mand. His aids, the McDonaltl broth
ers, were men of his "own stamp and
would never yield without a desperate
struggle, which the meagre telegram
from Felix would indicate took place.
Daly was a man of forty years and has
had, perhaps, as checkered and event
ful a career as any mining man in the
West. His exploits in the Comstock,
in the Bodie district, and at llio del
Monte, are familiar to all coast miners.
They are sufficient in volume and inter
est to till a book. His connection with
the great strike last summer being viv
idly remembered by all. He came to
the camp in 1870, and managed the Lit-
tie Chief mine during the most part of
its prosperous period. He was in charge
of the mine on that dark day in June
when hundreds of excited miners ap
peared at Daly's shaft of the Little
Chief and demanded that lie allow
them to enter. George, with intrepidi
ty born of true courage, refused admit
tance to the mob, anu during the thirty
days of terror that followed, protected
valuable property in his charge from
damage or destruction, lie was a most
commanding ligure among mine mana
gers during the tronido, and while there
was no one person at the beginning of
the strike, against whom miners were
more exasperated, he so manipulated
affairs as to become, as the end drew
near, the one whose influence
was most respected, and
whose words were most attentively
listened. At the final conference between
the strikers and military at the City
Hall, all the citizens will remember a
determined stand was taken by Daly,
with his '-Little Chief Guard," on the
eventful Saturday preceding the de-
elation of marshal! law, surrounded by
eighty trusty men, armed with Vvin-
hosters. he knelt with them in front of
the Clarendon Hotel, every hand on the
trigger, waiting for an act on the part
of the sea of desperate men that ohok-
d the avenue the entire length. Daly
undoubtedly possessed great personal
courage, something over and beyond
bravado. An uleant tins may no glean
ed from an incident during the turbu
lent times at Robinson's camp directly
niter Hn linson was shot. lía v had
boon sent up to take charge of Uobin-
son s mine and the majority of the
workmen banded themselves against
him. For a time the camp was under
the surveilanee of what was little better
than a howling mob, and crowds of
some two or three hundred assembled
below Robinson's house, loud in threats
of lynching Daly, who was inside.
Dusk was coming on and he desired to
visit the lower part of his camp, but
was begged by his friends to do nothing
so suicidal. It would be almost certain
death, they said, to venture into a crowd
that black'ened the streets. But Daly
scorned the idea ot fear, and perfectly
regardless of their friendly warning,
put on his overcoat and hat. As he
passed through the door he drew ;i
brace of huge self-cocking revolvers,
and holding one in either hand, ad
vanced toward the crowd. In an in
stant a startled . cry of "There he
conies" went: up from the mass of men,
and then, catching sight of the weap
on, they fell involuntarily back. His
movement surprised them and there
was not a man in the crowd but knew
the plucky superintendent could send
at least t wo bullets into the body of his
first assailant before he could be
downed. No one was prepared to make
an aggressive movement, and muttering
with rage the miners parted the ranks
and permitted him to pass. Daly did
not speak, but walked straight on and
returned in the course of an hour. By
that time the crowd had dispersed and
no one remained to bar his waj Daly
had extended experience as a mine
manager, arid while his methods wore
not generally approved by minors of the
camps, no one questioned his knowl
edge of mining matters. While in
charge of the Little Chief he superin
tended the developments on the Big
Pittsburg, Seooper, Colorado Prince,
and other well known properties, and
was measurably successful in allot his
undertakings.

A conversation with Dr. Bliss was as
follows:
"How is the patient, Doctor;'"
"He has passed a good night."
"Then I suppose he is belter?''
"Oh, yes, he shows an improvement
since yesterday. 1 saw him only a few
moments ago. He was lying tl'iere as
quietly as could be. I took his pulse
and it was about !Ki."
"How was his respiration, Doctor?"
"It could not have been more than
Hi. He was breathing so easily, his
skin was cool and moist, and Jus pulse
was soft and clear."
"The pulse will become more fre
quent after the morning dressing, I sup
lióse?" "Yes, possibly three or four heats?"
"How is the parotid gland? Does it
bother him much?"
Dr. Bliss "Did you ever have the
mumps?"
Reporter "Yes, sir."
Bliss "Then you know something
about how it troubles him. He cannot
open his mouth wide at times. He told
me this morning that his mouth would
not open but half an inch."
"Is it still swollen?"
"The swelling is not so much now, but
soreness effects the muscles of his
jaws."
"Does not it ' cause a collection of
phlegm in the throat, then?"
"Oh, yes, but ho clears his throat so
loudly that he can be heard in the next
room. He told me just now he thought
if he should vomit it would clear the
phlegm away. I told him it was not
necessary. On one occasion uuring
early morning one who happened to be
in the hallway outside the door near
the rresident s bed distinctly heard
the patient ask Colonel Swain for his
handkerchief. When it w as given him
lie cleared .his throat and wiped his
lips and repeated the operation several
times."
During further conversation with Dr.
Bliss he talked in regard to a mistake
which occurred in a telephone inter
view with him late last niglit in regard
to the use ot an instrument in connec
tion with the wound. He said he ap
pears to have been understood to say
that the flexible tube used for cleaning
the wound had not botín put into the
wound furtherthan three and one-fourth
inches. "What 1 intended to say, con
tinned the Doetor. is that no probe had
penetrated the wound beyond that
depth." How far the flexible cleans
ing tube had been insert ed he could not
say, but he would ascertain exactly and
probably mention the fact in one of to
day s bulletins.
Joctor Reyburn came into the room
as Dr. Bliss concluded and said the in
dications this morning were better than
they had been for a week.
Dr. A. Hawks came to the Mansion,
and desiring to obtain the exact contli
tion of the President, conferred with
Dr. Boynton, who said the patient was
still better than this morning and ev
erything is favorable. The feeling of
assurance is rapidly increasing.

H'liy Grant wait not ANsnsslii.it el.
"The darkest day of my life," said
the General, "was the day I heard of
Lincoln sassassinatiou. I did not know
what it meant. Here was the rebellion
put down' in the lield and started up
in the gutters ; we had found it was war,
now we had to light it as assassination.
Lineo n was killed on the evening of
the 14th of April. I was busy sending
out orders to stop recruiting, the pur
chase of supplies, and to muster out the
army. Lincoln had promised to go to
the theatre, and wanted me to go with
him. While 1 was with the
President, a nolo came from
Mrs. Grant saying she must leave
Washington that night. She wanted
to go to Burlington to see her children.
Some incident of a trilling nature had
made her resolve to leave that evening.
I was glad to have it so, as I did not
want to go to the theatre. So I made
my excuse to Lincoln, and at the proper
hour we started lor the train, as we
were driving along Pennsylvania aven

said, "There is the man who sat near
us at lunch to-day, with some other
men, and tried to overhear our conver

alter us. 1 1 thought it was only curi
osity, but learned afterward that the
horseman was lsooin. n seemeu i was

sudden resolve to leave deranged the

God that he had failed. I remembered
that the conductor hail locked our car ,
but how true the letter was, 1 cannot

gloomiest day of my life."
The Itray of the Mexican Doiikc)'.
The New Orleans Democrat recounts
the many good qualities of the Mexican
burro that has lately been introduced
into that city as a child's horse, who it
seems can banquet on splinters and
scraps, carry immense loads, and is
faithful, uncomplaining, docile and
tireless, but, "we regret to say," con
tinues the Democrat, "the burro brays.
Amazing as is his strength, his stamina,
his amiability, his courage, those
things are nothing as compared to his
bray. That such a tremendous and
far-reaching sound should emanate
from so small a source constitutes the
wonder of the world.
When the little blue burro they are
nearly all blue concludes to celebrate
his scanty period of relaxation by a
gootl, healthy, whole-soulded bray
when he humps his little back, and
shuts his appealing little eyes, ami lets
his ears lie along his back, and then
gathers himself into one ecstatic note,
it is enough to make one envy the saint
ed tlead and long for the cold and silent
grave. Ihe sleepers lor a mile around
start up with the sweat ot terror on
their furrowed brows, children fall
down in tits, the sick believe they have
heard Gabriel s horn, and the very at
mosphere shudders like a human crea
ture. Burros don't often bray, because
they havn't much time for braying; but
they bray sometimes, and that is what
keeps them so low in the scale sf ani
mated nature. Without his bray the
burro would be little short of an angel.
As he is, however, he is an animal to be
admired at a distance and in the ab
stract. Tim ISONlon Youiijf Wontiiu.
An aged gentleman from the country,
whose own walk is as honest and sturdy
as his conversation, was much amazetl
yesterday at beholding the appearance
of a Boston young lady. The fair
creature descended trom a horse car al
most at his feet, teetered lightly on her
toes thrice, adjusted her arms "like the
plumed extremities of a trussed fowl,
permitted her hands to dangle as do
the forepaws of a kangaroo, and sailed
down the street with a sort of willowy
wabble which set her head to bobbing
after the fashion of a Chinese doll, her
eyes the while being sot and anxious,
and her whole appearance suggestive
of a dislocation and distress. And when
one of our guilded youth in a coat with
no i ails to speak of, and a hat like a
soup plate cocked over his left eye,
started after her with arms and logs
forming segments of circles, after the
approved tradition of the "chicken
walk," he remarked that he'd be re
vised if he could understand what had
got into these city folks. Boston Jour
