PROP THE CASA GRANDE. From the New York Tribuoe. Sccri-tary Nolile h done well in actD(f promptlr upon the report concern g the rumoiia condition of the famom Caa Grande of the OiU, made by ipecial Agenl Morrinon, through whom it ipropoed not only to protect but to "repair" the rnin. ArchaeolofrmU may apprenend tuch experi ments it will injure rnthur tban improve the appearnncH and antiquarian alue of the relic. The material of which the Cana Grande wat buiit hue been 0 Tnrioualy de scribed by travellers that it ia rather diffi cult to jrrive at the truth. Mr. Morrison gays the material in concrete "uiade of 6i.e gravel, sand and cement. Most other writers have been of the opinion Unit, it was simply adobe; that i, puddled earth, such as baa been the principal build- in,; iimterial in both Old ami New Mexico tjr centuries. In the Cana Or-inde, how ever, the UHiml method of muKinir the adobe into brirka was not followed, but it waa apparently set in Urge frames or boxes, such as are used for concrete. No one before Mr. Morrison lias discoveied the exiotencs of cement either in the blocks themselves or in the tine smooth coatiiitf of plaster with which the wall of the interior are covered. The general con clusion has been that the inner plaster was simply a separate coat of the same materi al Iroui which the building was construc ted, though the plaster for the iutenur was evidently worked up to a Knar consistence, so at to Kive it the effect und the durabili ty of a trood bard,(iinsh. As repardk the antiquity of the Casa Grande Mr. Morrison appears to entertain opinions scarcely on a level with recent re.em-die nnd t lie uioxt authoritative con clusions. He speaks of the ruin as if he believed that it whs a survival frmn a very remote antiquity, and his idea seems to rest upon the consideration that when the Spaniards first, saw the Casa Grande, about the middle of the sixteenth century, found it a ruin, and so long" antedating the native tribes of the locality that those In dians could (rive no account ot Us origin. Hut if Mr. Morrison had made a carelul study of Mr. II. H. liancrofl's works, lie would have found ample reason fur doubt ing the conclusive nature of such testi mony. Mr. Bancroft, after full consider ation of all known tacts, tees no ground tor asbuuung thnt the Casa Grande of the (iila was much uiuru tban a century old when it was first eeii by Cabeza d Baca. No writer on American antiquities has bad the opportunity of consulting any thin:; like the mass of material accumula ted by M'. Bancroft. He has examined every psrticle of evidence on the subject, And his nionnn.ent.il work on the "Native Raws" mnst ever be the most full and trustworthy authority on all the subjects it embraces. Now Mr. Bancroft found it ntcen.arj to abandon the old theory of ex tinct nations as builders of the New Mexi can monuments, and he has shown con clusively that there is no need for any Much hypothesis, the simple explanation of the tacts being obviously the correct one. Mr. Bancroft holds that the Casa ti ran ile and all the erections of its kind weie the work . of Pueblo Indians. He says:. "Lvery one ot them may be most reasonably regarded as the work of the present inhabitants of the Pueblo towns, who did not differ to any great extent iu civilization or institutions from their de scendants, though they may vi.y likely huve beea yustly superior to them in pow er aud wealth. Ana lie proceeds: "Conseqnently, there is not a single relic in the whole region that requires the agency of uny extinct race of people, or any other nations thun those now living in the rouiitry." The conclusion he reaches, theretore. is that "New Mexico. Arizona and Northern Chihuahua were oucn in habited by agricultural semi civiliz'-ri tribet, not differing more among them selves tban do the Pueblo tribes ot the present time." How the civilization ot these tribet came to dechne tome gene-aliona before the Spaniards came is a ques tion prolific of surmise and conjucture, but in the nature of the case incapable of a definitive solution. Mr. Bancroft has denlt with it, and his suggestion are cer tainly plausible, but that aspect of the mutter cannot be entered upou here. The preservation of the Cas Grande and in deed, of other like monuments is to be desired and approved; but at the same time it is well that the claims of the vi ner abié relic" Upon our respect auJ intaiekt should be accurately stated, aod that tbey should not be contused by imrpo-ating with them groundless or exploded the oriel. "We Point wttb Pride" To the "Good name at home," won by Hood's Surtuparitla. In Lowell, Mass., where it is prepared, there is more of Hood's Sarapurlli sold than of all other medicines, and it has given the best of sat isfaction lince its introduction tun years ago. This could not be if the medicine did not posess merit. If you suffer from impure blood, try Hood's Sarsuparilla and realize La peculiar curative power. Between 100 and 200 people were tic ciuated at Lake Valley last track by Dr, tGivétj. STEUOK A BOULDEK. About two weeks ago, says the Timber Index, the telegraph dispatches announc ed that the Hualnpai Indians had gone on the war path, and that the settlers were calling for aid. This word was also tele graphed to old man Booth, of the Need les Bazoo, and with visions of a war arti cle written on the spot, be took . the train and started (or Hackberry, where he ar rived sate and sound. In the course of an hour or two he had secured a lumber wagon and a ery . small mule and a very large horse, together with a FalsUIKan nrniy if ten, and start ed for Grass Springs, the posterior of war. The party were heavily armed with Hack berry repeater that were guarranteed to kill at forty rods, but considerably more than forty rods bad been traversed bsfore the repeaters were brought into requisi tion, and the batallion to a man commen ced to use them, and well the party were soon spilled into the road, nnd old man Booth emerageil from the debris looking ns though he hud just (ought lour roand with John L. Sullivan: his nose and face bring ba ly kinned and part lett car was gone; while both of his optic that he is somewhat proud of flashing upon the un tutored child ot the desert, were wreath ed in heavy inorunir.g. The team was at once turned back to Hackberry where it soon arrived and the Bghting editor of the Bazoo was whirled back to tin- Needles, where he stated that (he front wheel ol the wagon struck a boulder, and cast him forth, causing him to roll down a cufion steen thousand feet bruising him in the manner that was so plainly visible to hi fellow citizens. Other people who claim to know the facts, stnte that Booth and his army did realty meet the Indiuns and did battle with them, wiped them off the face of the earth, and through extreme modesty he tells the boulder story. No matter which story is true, old man Booth ia now a used up Cjmmunity, und nothing more it heard from the rebellions Injuns. Bolls and Carbunclos Cured, For years I have been constantly troub led with humors in the blood, which caus ed the breaking out of boils and carbun cle all over my body, that when bruised would make a lasting, ugly sore. I con sulted many eminent physicians and took a great deal ot medicine without any per ceptible benefit. Nothing holped me but Swiff Sueoifui.(S. S. S.) That m-dicine cured me!

Atlanta, Ga. Taos Herald: A genuine curiosity in the shup of a petrified 1-k.ull was tound in the Embudo mountains, near Embudo station and is now in the possession of John Kof.il. The head resembles that ot a man. The brains are clearly visible and are of solid atone, while the mouth ap pears to lie formed of metal. A peculiar feature of the skull is it shape, the nose, which is a long und sharp one, being on the side of thu face. Many person have examined this curiosity and all pronounce it a wonder. It I the general belief that it is the head of a person who belonged to some prehistoric ruco. Mr. Kof.il will send this remarkable skull to the Siui'.hsoiiiun Instisut ut Vtihntfton.

Governor Wolfiey hss pardoned Jesus Avotl, the Mexican who was being taken to the penitentiary at the time that the Indians murdered Sheriff Reynolds and Deputy Holme. Avott'l story, according to the Arizona Silver Bettt is (hat the ascent of the wash was begun 'with thu stage only a few yards in front of the two Indian in the lead. Sheriff Reynold tin a few (pet to One side and a step or two behind the first two Indians and not much further from (he (wo behind. Holmes-walked at the lids and a little bnck of the last couple of prisoners and Avott alongside of Holmes. As they pro ceeded their relative position changed somewhat and when the struggle began Reynolds had advanced .to position a stop in advance of Kloahl nd Rayes, near est him, nnd Holmes had reached similar position relative to Pashtentah and HnJe ia the rear. Avott sra about midway be tween Reynolds and Holmes. At 4 signal (rom one of the Indians (hose nearest the officers grappled them. Holme made no resistance and fell to the ground as though he had fainted, appareatly making no ef fort to retain possession of hi rifle or to draw his six shooter. ""Pashten tub. took the rifle and with his partner . (they were still handcuffed together) advanced to where Reyp"ds wa making a desperate struggle for biW life. - Reynold firmly held on to his shotgun with hi left band his assailants being unable to take it from bun and he whs trying bard to draw bis pistol which his buttoned overcoat pre vented when Pashtentah settled the con flict by shooting Reynolds with Holmes' rifle. Holmes during the'' minute or two which bad elupsed, did not move from the spot where he had fallen, and Pashtentah and partner returned and shot him; they then turned and shot Middleton from the stage. Avott is firmly of the belief that Middleton fell into the boot of the stage and was carried some distance buftre be ing precipitated to the ground. Avott could have rendered valuable assistance and might have saved the live ol the ot ficers. but states that neither Reynolds nor Holmes called for 'assistance, and lie (AvoM) feared thnt if he interfered Rey nolds ought get bis pistol out and shoot him. in tiiü belief that he was going to aid the Indians. He was also atraid that Mid dleton might shoot him and says when be ran up to the stage Middleton did cover him with the pistol und ordered bim to get into thecnacb. When Middleton was shot Avott continued to run and Pah ten tali and Hale ascended a little knoll ut the side ot tho mad and fired at Avott. Haatentu dujay and Bithejahatirhtocean, the latter the mnrderer of Cosper, took no part in the cenllict, hut withdrew a few ynrds to the sido of the roasl. Hosculte was in the stage and shackled.
