Washington, May 9 ."War department officials do not share the apprehension manifested in recent telegrams from Arizona and Texas, that Gen. Crook's com mand has been defeated by rene grade Indians whom he has pur sued into Mexico. No reports have been received at the depart ment from General Crook, and the greatest confidence is reposed in his ability, even with -comparatively a small force, to successfully route the enemy. It is reported that the engagements in the Sierra Madre mountains, between the Mexican troops and Indians, re sulting in the defeat of the latter, is a source of some chagrin to army officials. They are delighted that the renegades have been punish ed, but it was hoped that the Uni ted State3 troops might, on this occasion, be the first to administer a lesson to the raiders. Of late years the Mexicans have been most successful in the work of exterminating these ferocious sav ages. Late dispatches from "Washing ton have given the impression that Gen. Crook has in some way vio lated the contract between the United States and Mexico in crossing tbe border, and that the war department has repudiated the general's action. Several dis patches have intimated that a court-martial awaits General Crook on his return. It is learned in the war department that Gen. Crook has in no respect, as far as known, exceeded the terms of the con tract between the United States and Mfexico, whereby troops of each country are permitted ;to cross the border in pursuit of savage Indians. The pursuing party are, by the terms of the con vention, to remain on the soil of the adjacent nation till the trail is lost or a decisive battle fought. The main object in requesting a new convention is that the old one will expire in August and there is danger that it may adjourn before a new engagement can be contrac ted. Timber Laud Decision. "WASiHNGT03May 9. Secreta ry Teller rendered a decision to day, in which he holds that the act of June 30, 187S, which per mits the sale at the minimum price of 2.50 per acre of lands valued principally for their timber and unfit for cultivation, does not apply to timber lands which may be rendered susceptiblo to culti vation, by ordinary' farming pro oesses. Such lands, the secretary says, are not within the purposes of this act. It is the intention to embrace within its provisions tim bered tracks only on broken or rugged mountainous districts, with soil unfit for ordinary agri cultural purposes, when cleared of timber. vThy flo Animals Need Salt? Professor James E. Johnston, of Scotland, says: "Upward of half the saline matter of blood (57 per cent.) consists of common salt, and this is partially discharged every day through the skin and kidneys. The necessity oE continued sup plies of it to the healthy body be comes sufficiently obvious. The bile also contains soda (one of the ingredients of salt) as a special and indispensable constituent, and so do all the cartilages of the body. Stint the supply of salt, therefore, and neither will the bile be able properly to assist digestion, nor the cartilages to be built up again as fast as they naturally waste. It is better to place salt where stock can have free acess to it, than to give it occasionally in large quan tities. They will help themselves to what they need if allowed to do so at pleasure; otherwise, when they become 'salt hungry,' they may take more than is wholesome." irkcR Ladles are Attractive. All ladies know their faces are most attractive when free from pim ples. Parker's Ginger Tonic is popu lar among them because it banishes impurities from blood and skin and makes the face glow with health.

The Seminole Indians,who have quietly retreated as civilization advanced since the days of the disastrous wars, when they ex hibited a courage worthy of a noble race in the presence of the United States soldiers superior to them in numbers, are going the way of all savages before the strides of civilization. There are probably 300 or 400 of them, and they wander in small tribes, each of which has a chief. They all owe allegiance to one great Tulla hassa, but there is little or no government. They live an entire ly useless life. Chief Tallahassa raises a little sugar cane and corn, but he is the only member of the tribo who makes any attempt at agriculture. The rest live by hunting and fishing. They cap ture alligators, otters, bears, deer and other game, and sell their skins; but they spend most of the money they get for whisky. They are small in stature, pure copper color, with more regulalry formed features than their sturdier brethren of the north. The dress of a brave is a breech clout and an ordinary calico or check shirt. Their head-gear is wonderfully picturesque. A brightly colored shawl is carefully folded and pressed out flat, and then coiled into a turban a foot or more in diameter. Fancy feathers and other ornaments are placed in the turban, which is worn like a Turk's. Its bright colors and curious shade suggests a coincidence in taste with Mexican and Peruvian Indians. The squaws are exception ally pretty and petite. The- are lighter in color than the braves, and are very coy and modest in the presence of a white man, prob ably because they seldom see them. They wear two garments, a short calico skirt, which covers only a portion of their brown well shaped limbs, and a very contract ed jacket, which barely covers their prettily shaped bosoms. They wear all sorts oi orna ments, alligator teeth, curious bones, wild hogs' teeth, and cheap jewelry, which the brave pur chases in the town before he be gins drinking. Like all Indian women, they do nearly all the drudgery, but the braves are gen erally kind to them. The children are delicate-looking little things, but the papooses are really beau tiful babies. These Indians go from place to place in a cypress dug-out, which is wider than the regular Indian canoe, and which they usually row instead of pole, owing to,the fact that the water in this country is deep. ' They do not do away with the pole entire ty, however. An Indian in the bow of the boat rows one oar, and another sits in the stern with a pole, with which he rows and steers. The sharply cut dug-out glides quietly through the water, the speed being quite wonderful. The boats go 300 miles into Lake Okeechobee, and a Florida Indian is as happy in one as he is on shore. Corr. JPhiladclpIiia Press. The Siuslaw. The Siuslaw river, flowing in a westerly course, empties into the Pacific ocean in latitude 43 deg. 3S min. north. Its principal trib utaries are the North Fork and Lake creek, both of which enter from the north. The former en ters below the head of tide water, and the latter seven miles above and are nearly equal in size to the mam stream at their junction. Tide water extends up the Sius law twenty-five miles, and the volume of water flowing in at the head of tide, is about 3,000 cubic feet per second. The width of the river at the mouth is .one-third of a mile. Passing up stream, the channel gradually widens for four miles, forming a small bay, three fourths of a anile wide. Thence it gradually narrows to the head of tide water, where it is thirty rods wide. The channel is free from mud flats or drifts and is confined within smootfe, permanent banks. The average depth of water, in the dfst'ance('6f "twenty-five miles of tide water, is forty feet, and there is but one point where the depth is less than twenty feet. This point is situated fifteen miles up stream from the mouth, and here fourteen feet of water are found at low tide, or twenty feet at high tide. At the mouth of the river, on the bar, there are thir teen feet of water at low tide, or from eighteen to twenty feet at high tide. The distance from deep water inside, to deep water outside the bar, is very short, only about five hundred feet. The en trance is peculiarly easy, from the fact that the channel extending from deep water to deep water, runs out to sea at right angles to the line of the breakers, so that a vessel in entering is not thrown sideways to the breakers and con sequently not in danger of being beached. The character of the country along this river is moun tainous and densely covered with forest and undergrowth. Immedi rtely along the river and its tribu taries, there are numerous small level valleys or bottoms of the most fertile soil, suitable for the production of fruit, vegetables and the cereals. The hills are all of sufficient fertility to subserve grazing purposes, and there are many good locations for dairies to be found, when the country is once opened.

The neglect of a habit of accu racy seriously limits a man's per sonal influence, and also his per sonal enjoyment. Every commu nity contains members whose statements must be discounted at half their value and then taken at a risk. Constant indulgence in intemperate or ill-considered lan guage has as enfeebling and de structive an influence as the abuse of any other stimulant. Better in all the relations of life, is one word that means-just wliat7tJsays than a whole vocabulary of possiblities or exaggerations.
