It appears that on September 28 a party of some 300 Indians, consisting of Cheyennes, Arrapahoes and Kiowas came into Arkansas Valley from the South and camped opposite Fort Lyon, near Los Animos. The commanding officer at Fort Lyon had a talk with the chiefs, but eould learn nothing of the intentions of the Indians, The; claimed the country as their own, and sat that they proposed to roam over it as they pleased. They were all warriors, armed with breech-loading government rifles, one or two good revolvers each, and bows, spears, &c., and each had an extra horse. The commandant at Fort Lyon requested the Indians to return to their reservation, to which they replied they would go when they were ready, and talked very impu- dentiy.

Aprivate letter, written by a gentleman resid- ing in Memphis, to his sister in this city, dated October 1, says:— Poor Memphis has suffered terribly. There are hardly enough well people to bury the dead and attend to the sick in the northern portion of the city. It 1s heartrending to witness the distress here. Whole families have been swept away ina Jew days, and the dead iay unburied and unat- tended tu in houses, where no one cares to look after them. God heip tne poor! This is the most distressing epidemic that has ever visited this country. No one knows the suffering of the poor but those who have been among them. Whentaken they live but a short time, and there is no one to tell the tale, [could write 100 pages and then l could not teil you all. The blame rests with one of our own daily papers. It stated there was no yellow fever, and it knew better, for the people in Happy Hollow were dying in scores. I can’t blame New York or-any other city for not contributing to us when our own pa- pers refused to acknowledge there was any sick- ness among us; and I don’t know their object in misrepresenting us, unless It Was that the sickness was chiefly among the poor, and they were not worthy of any notice; but now the sickness has spread nearly all over the city, and the ich and well-to-do people are dying, and the un- dertakers are notable to bury them, and the poor are carried off in wagons, sometimes as many as mine at a time. I saw that number on Sunday in one wagon. Iam at the station house, where I see and can learn everything that 1s going on. We are compelled to send prisoners, under guard of @ policeman, to lay out the dead and put them in their coffins. Father Carry died this morning. Father O’Brien is reported sick and two more of the Sisters. God bless and spare them! ey are all Dominicans, The Fathers of St. Peter’s church have sutfered most, and they, with the good Sisters, have stead- fastly watched by the bedside of the sick until com- pletely worn out. Poor Father Daley, who died, ‘was in Happy Hollow until he had to be carried. away, and one of the Franciscan Sisters was car- Tied away from there in a blanket, and died in a few hours after reaching the Convent. There are now about 20,000 white persons in Memphis; the others have left. Onan average there are about sixty-five or seventy deaths reported a day. How many more die I cam’t say.

Morristown, N. J., Oct. 10, 1873, A rakish looking man, giving the names of George* Williams and Ss, Easton, and hailing from New York, Was arrested to~day for al*ering a check of $21 into $360, on the National Iron Bank of Morris- town. He was caught io the cars while trying to escape, and was identified by the’bank officers. On being searched $253 of the stolen bills were found in his stocking leg, He is five ieet seven inches in height, and has a scar on the left cheek. He ob- tained several otuer checks from parties:here for small amounts. LITERARY CHIT-CHAT. THAT MUCH OVERRATED’ NOVELIST, Mr. George MacDonald, has written a supremely ridiculous: “sacred poem,” of which the folowing stanza 1s a fair specimen :— No longer fly Thy kite, Lord: draw me home. Thou pull’st the string through all the distance bleak. rd, Tam nearing Thée; O Lord! I come; ‘Thy pulls grow stronger and the wind grows weak. THE Golden Age says that the late dramatic author and adapter, T. B. De Waiden, was one of the “judicious Hookers’? with which the theatre, like the Church, now abounds. SHAKESPEARB’S ‘“Centurie of Prayse,’’ by Dr. Ingleby, will be published in Birmingham during the Christmas holidays, It will be an abstract of the literature illustrating the career of the poet's fame during the first century after his rise. In HERBERT SPENCER’S last scientific article he attempts to write dowf the art of writing. Here are some specimens :— ‘This faith in lesson books and readings is one of the superstitions of the age. Even as appliances to intellectual culture books are greatly over-esti- mated. Something gathered trom printed pages is supposed to enter into a course of education; but, if gathered by observation of life and nature, is supposed not thus to enter. Reading is seeing by proxy—is jearning indirectly through another man’s faculties, instead of directly through one’s own faculties; and such js the prevailing bias that the indirect learning is thougit preferable to the direct learning, and usurps the name ofcuitivation! THE FIRST NUMBER OF The Scythe, a new paper devoted to the interests of the “patrons of hus- baudry,” is issued at New York. In THE St. Paul’s magazine Mr. Richard A, Proctor exposes the pretentious ‘“‘sclence’’ which Charles Reade introduced, for the greater glorifi- cation of his hero, in ‘Foul Play.” After pointing out the error of his method of computing longi- tude, and remarking that “i: would have been equally to the purpose to have caiculated how many cows’ tails would reach the moon,” he “It is @ pity that a novelist should attempt to sketch scientific methods with which he is not familiar. No discredit can attach to any person, not an astronomer, who does not understand the astronomical processes for determining latitude and longitude. But when an attempt is made by a writer of fiction to give an exact description of any technical matter, it is as well to secure cor- rectness: by submitting the description to some friend acquainted with the principles of the sub- ject.” ACCORDING TO Hupson’s “Journalism tn America’ the United States has 5,871 newspapers and peri- odicals, while all the rest of the world have but 7,642, Lranver K. Lippincott, the husband of Grace Greenwood, and himself a writer both of prose and rhyme, has been appointed to the matter-of-fact position of Recorder of the Land Office in Wash- ington. Mr. E. A. PREEMAN will publish, in one volume, the lectures he delivered last year at the Royal In- stitution, under the title of “Comparative Politics.’ THE LECTURES of the late Rev. Frederic D. Maurice on ‘The Friendship of Books” will soon appear in London, under the editorship of Thomas Hughes. Like everything from Mr. Maurice’s pen, they are very well done and interesting.
