It was during an encampment of the Alabama State troops that the writer first met Major Raymond, of the United States cavalry. He had ac? cepted an invitation to meot some of the gentlemen of Mobile, who, by re? quest, had selected the cool, spacious quarter-deck of the white cruiser, snugly protected with awnings, as a suitable and comfortable spot whereii. to smoke a cigar, sip a glasss of bran? dy, and to spin a yarn beneath the cheering influences of "Auld Lang Syne." M-jor Bob Crawford, of the Con? federate Veterans, had dodged the is? sue involved in a request for a re? miniscence, but had compromised on an exhibition of his occult powers, to the no Bmall wonderment and edification of the assembled group of gentlemen. The last round of applause had died away, and found an answering echo in the clear ringing notes of the ship's bugle, as the notes trilled forth with the tap of the bell, proclaiming 8 o'clock, p. m., and Major Ross, snip? ping the ashes from his "Concha," volunteered his portion of the enter? tainment by offering an incident con? nected with a brother officer. It is somewhat singular withal how gen? tlemen, reared in the lap of luxury and refinement, and grounded in all the scientific attainments of West Paint, can submit so easily to hard? ships and irksome duties, of which only those who have served on the wild frontier can have but the slightest conception. Did your ever meet Lieutenant Colonel Nat Ross of ours ? Well, he is a splendid fellow, every inch a 301 dier, and, at the time the incident oc? curred which I am about to relate, was the senior captain of the regi? ment. He was in command of a com? pany at Old Man's Gulch, where there was a miserable and squalid town, boasting of but one street, along which the hastily constructed huts and shan? ties of the inhabitants had been erec? ted. An unusual crowd had congre? gated in front of a groggery, attracted the officer's attention, composed of gamblers, miners, desperadoes, greas? ers, soldiers and a sprinkling of camp followers common to such locali? ties. The captain, wno was in a irontiers man rig?slouched hat, flannel shirt, and pants tucked in his boots? forced his way through the throng to ascertain what was the occasion of the crowd. Two half-drunken cattle-tenders, armed with stout, formidable bull thongs, had edged into an angle of a building, the tall, lithe but muscular figure of a young Sioux Indian. He was barely 18 years of age, apparent? ly, and, from the eagle's feather twisted in his dark scalp-lock, was evidently the son of a chief. His blanket was drawn tightly around him, his eyes, black as a raven's wing, blazed with excitement and suppress? ed passion, as silent, erect and mo? tionless he faced the two brutes who, with knives and the keen, cutting thongs of bull-hide, had brought the Indian stripling to bay, much to the delight of the low, depraved denizens of the place who were eternally on the lookout for the free rum or a general row. "What's the trouble here?" de? manded the captain as he strode be? tween the bullies and their chosen vic? tim. "What are you doing with the lad?" f "What's that to you?" mutter? ed one of the men, who failed to recognize the officer, so intent was he upon worrying the "durned .redskin." "It is this much to me," replied the soldier, in clear, measured tones. "Let the lad alone; he is but one against you all; and as for you, men, retire to your quarters at once. Do you hear ?" "Get out of the way, you raw-boned tenderfoot, or I'll give you some of I this ;" and one of them flourished his bull-hide in swooping circles about the I officer's head. Now Ross, at the academy and also j in the regiment, was counted one of ' the best all-around gymnasts and box? ers belonging to the corps, and his training, with muscles developed like springs of steel, coupled with a statue of six feet in his socks, made him a foeman worthy of the best borderer that ever handled the pick or rifle. Like a flash of lightning the cap? tain's arm shot out straight from tho shoulder, one, two, and biff, bang, a yell, and two awkward, clumsy forms, suddenly rolled in the alkali dust. Seizing one of the bull thongs, the irate soldier applied it vigorously to the forms of the two ruffians, who howled and cursed alternately as the lash stung their flesh. The mob howled its approval; the oaptain cast the bull-thing from him, motioned to the Indian to follow him, strode to? ward his quarters without glancing over his shoulder. During the entire scene the young Indian had not attempted to leu/e the spot. He had watched keenly every motion of his champion, and his swar? thy cheek assumed a brighter and more vivid tinge. Tendering the Sioux a silver dollar, the soldier added afew words of friend? ly advice, bidding him leave the town, which with his vices was no place for him. But with a rapid ges? ture the In'dian swept the coin usido, seized the broad hand of the surpris? ed captain, which he placed over his heart. The, large, lustrous eyes of the Indian spoke as they gazed straight into the captain's, and with the" gutteral words, "We are brothers ?I shall remember," turned and stalk? ed rapidly away without further dem? onstration. A year rolled by, and the captain with his regiment was on duty in the Yellowstone Valley, where the Sioux were reported as acting suspiciously, the young bucks especially showed ? restless spirit, with all the indica? tions of their early appearance on the war-path. The captain had always been fond of the pleasures of the chase, and it was while on a trip after game that he found himself hopelessly entangled and hopelessly lost amid the towering crests and lofty hills of a spur forming a portion of the Belt Range. Debouching upon the banks of a broad but shallow stream, he came upon an Indian encampment that was on the opposite side. From this point of observation the officer could make out a number of braves walking about, and an occasional squaw enga? ged in her duties about the camp. Hungry, tired and cold, for it was getting late in the season, Ross re? solved to secure the friendly offices of a guide, if possible, and return to bis command, from which he had al? ready absented himself longer than prudence or regluations warrant? ed. ? Hiding down to a point directly op? posite the caiup, he hailed repeatedly but no one within the limits of the array of tents took the slightest no? tice of him. Nettled, as well as im? patient, i ?ueh cool indifference, the j captain forded the stream and rode into camp. No one spoke to the soldier; not a buck condescended to pay the slightest attention to his inquiries relative to the location he was in, or the chances of obtaining a guide. Grimly silent and sullen, they turned their backs, or retreated within the smoky recesses of their tepecs. Ross had been on the frontier for a num? ber of years, was well acquainted with the habits of the savages, understood a variety of the Indian dialects, and was looked upon as one of the most accomplished scouts and fighters in the servicei It did not require a sec? ond glance to convince the officer that he was in grave danger. He realized that his presence in that camp was not welcome, and he would have given much to have been safely back on the other side of the broad, running stream. But pride and his reputa tation would scarcely permit his turn? ing hastily from them, or attempting any movement that could be construed by the redskins into a confession of alarm or a retreat. Reining up his roan in the shadow of a tent, he deliberated for a moment upon the best course to pursue. Kre he had formed any plan, an Indian warrior, in full war paint and regalia, suddenly issued from the folds of the tepee, confronting the officer with a stern, forbidding aspect. "Whnt seeks the pale-face who has come here unbidden?" "Shelter, food and a good guide to the white man's camp," was the re? sponse. The Sioux motioned for him to dis? mount, and throwing his bridle rein over a projecting bough of a tree, Ross passed into the interior of the council tent, and was immediately r.ade a prisoner, but was not bound. Surrounded by numbers of well-armed warriors, he realized that the slight? est attempt on his part to effect an es? cape would result at once in the loss of his life. Sitting amid the dusky throng, he listened to the talk of the council. His fate was soon decided. He was to die the next morning at sunrise? tied to a stake and burned to death? the first offering dedicated to the opening oarapaign, and esteemed particularly propitious as an indication of their success on the warpath, inas? much as the victim was one of the de? spised "Long Knives." One by one the warriors filed out of the council tent, leaving the captain solitary and alone. No attempt to bind him was made. It was impossi? ble for him to escape from the limits of the oamp. Throwing himself on a pile of buffalo skins, the prisoner gave himself up to reflections and thought. To die at the hands of such mis? creants, to fill a namelees grave, his fate shrouded in mystery?what an ending to his brilliant hopes and as? pirations ! What a finale to his mili? tary career! The soft, patter of a moccasin foot, and a dark shadow falling athwart the rude seat upon which he reclined, at? tracted his attention. Glancing up, he beheld standing beside him a well proportioned warrior, arrayed in full paint, with his tawny locks bedecked with feathers. Silent and motionless as n statue, the Indian gazed at the officer for fully a minute; and Ross, unable to subdue the feeling of extreme nervousness, then rose to his feet. "Does the Long Knife remember me?" the Indian demanded. The captain shook his head, glanc? ing hastily at the hideously painted face before him. His thoughts were not on bedecked braves just at that time; he was brooding over the horri? ble fate which in a few hours would stare him in the face. The red man never forgets. Listen, for my words are few;" and placing the right hand of Ross upon his broad i chest, he continued : "Twelve moons ago I said we were brothers?ugh? good !" for, with a start, the incident of the Sioux youth and the the two cattla-herderB flashed across his brain. "I am the brave?you remember now; well, Indian remember, too. To-night when-the new moon comes out above high peak, the best horse of the Sioux shall be outside lodge. Jump through opening and ride for your life. Indian never forgets;" and ere Ross could recover from his surprise, he was alone with the deepening shadows of approaching night, all closing rapidly about him. A wild flush of hope, a rekindling of the old spirit of recklessness, took possession of the soldier, driving hard from his heart the dull feeling of des? pair which had required a tremendous effort on his part to conceal it from his wily foe. Although the chances might be against him, there would at least remain a fighting prospect?a forlorn hope?that success might crown the effort. He could at least die struggling for his life, while bound to the stake, there could be but one termination of it all. His eyes brightened, the blood coursed madly through his veins, and he stopped oc? casionally to peer through the opening the flaps of which had been carelessly thrown together. One by one the stars made their ap? pearance in the clear blue heavens, against which the bold, jagged out? lines of the mountain ranges were sharply outlined. Within the camp comparatively quiet and stillness reigned, unbroken save by the occa? sional yelp of an Indian dog skulking about the outskirts. Cautiously re connoitering from his point of obser? vation, the captain glanced about him but could detect no inmate of the camp stirring within range of his vision. Hi? prospects for making a bold dash for liberty were good, and his spirits kept pace to his fever of excitement which coursed through his veins like so much liquid fire. Like a gleam of silver silhoutted against the scintillating background the thin crescent moon suddenly shot into view from behind the shaggy peak. It caught the eye of the ex? pectant soldier as he loitered near the opening, and his heart gave a bound as his highly strung car detected a slight scraping sound at the rear of the tepee. The gleam of a keen knife glittered for a moment in the uncer? tain light, as it silently but rapidly cut its way through the buffalo skins, and Ross realized that the Sioux had kept his faith?had performed all that was possible for him to accom? plish, and the balance remained with himself. His nerves were braced like steel as he prepared for the supreme effort. ^m^^_._m Have used and recommended It to my friends. All derived great benefltfrom Its use. Mas. Matilda LAitsox.

RRADFIELO REGULATOR CO., ffoi aalo by all Druggists. At^akta, Ga. Delaying a moment to enable the In? dian to make good his escape, the cap? tain, with hia heart beating fast and furious, sprang lightly through the slot found himself beside a magnificent specimen of horseflesh,vaulted on to his back, plied the spurs, and with the speed of a whirlwind rushed from be? tween the tents, through the encamp? ment?scattering the Indian dogs right and left as he galloped straight for the river ford. There was a savage yell of astonish? ment and alarm, a ringing shot, a pack of howling does snapping at the mettlesome charger s heels, followed by a few straggling rifle shots, as the startled braves sprang forth scarcely realizing that their victim had eluded their grasp. In a trice the entire camp was arous? ed ; each tepee had been emptied of its occupants, while a score of dusky figures, howling like demons, leapcq1 on their horses, started in hot pursuit of the prisoner, who had disappeared in the dark shadows of the overhanging hills. Giving his steed therein, he reached the opposite side bf the river unscathed. Then for the first time, in the ex? citement and hurry attending his flight, the soldier noticed strapped to the neck of the horse a Winchester repeating rifle. One glance sufficed to assure him that it was ready for use; but fortunately, perhaps, he Vd no occasion to use it on his pursue It required no urging from him for the noble animal to put forth its best efforts, and with the speed of a bird the spirited horse flew onward, easily distancing the horde of yelling pur? suers. Across the sandy, level plain, through sage brush and stinging net? tles, winding about the base of out? lying hills, the captain pursued his way, and ere daylight dawned, all sound of pursuit had died away, leav? ing the fugitive surrounded by the val? leys and risings of the lofty mountain range. It was three (lays before he struck a familiar trail leading to Gomez Pass and both horse and rider were well nigh exhausted before they finally succeeded in gaining camp. It was a joyful reunion, for Ross had been given up as dead by his compan? ions, with whom he was deservedly popular. There was no time lost by the com? mand in following up the war band of Sioux, but the wily, subtle foe had fled, and when the river ford was reached by the cavalrymen, the In? dians had disappeared. But Ross still retains that horse, and I doubt if there is gold enough in the bowels of the Black Hills to win him from his owner. How Savings Grow. This incident, told in a St. Louis newspapers, shows how i t>mall sum, deposited where it will draw a moder? ate rate of interest, will accumulate in the course of years. It ought to con? vey a lesson to young persons who think their savings arc too small to be worth investing. Some years ago a man entered the Boatman's savings bank on Second street in St. Louis with a somewhat different air, and looked inquiringly about him, as one not quite positive of his bearings. He scrutinized the building closely, looked about the interior, and presently found his way to the cashier's desk. "There used to be a bank here in the old times," he said, "called the Boatmen's savings institution. I suppose it is dead long ago. This bank, of course, has nothing to do with it." "It's the same bank," replied the cashier, "only the name is a little changed." "Ah 1" exclaimed the stranger, with surprise. "Well, when the old institution started, I was one of the first depositors; but I put in only one hundred dollars. I reckon, after so many ups and downs, that it must have been wiped out long ago." "Who arc you ?" the cashier asked, "and what is your name ?" "My name is Jefferies." "Thomas Jefferies ?" cried the cashier. "Yes, they called me Tom ihen." "Where have you been, Mr. Jeffer? ies, these long years, and why haven't you written us ?" "In Californy; and, of course, I thought the one hundred dollars was a dead duck, and it's only your sign that called me in now." "Well, Mr. Jefferies, if you have been idle," said the cashier, taking down and opening a great folio, "your one hundred dollars has not. Here it is. Your check on this bank to-day is good for seven thousand eight hun? dred and seventy-five dollars. You have only to get some one to prove your identity, and we will pay it over." Wanted to Change one Word. Private John Allen, "of Mississippi, had a case in the supreme court the other day, says a Washington corre? spondent of the Louisville Courier Journal. It had been dragging along for a good while in the lower tribunals and when it was reached in the higher body the opposing counsel presented a brief history of the cause so far as it had gone. The Justices had listened attentively to the lawyer, and when he had finished Mr. Allen was asked if the opposing counsel had stated what was strictly true. "If your honors please," said the astute MissisBippian, "I can best an? swer the question with a little story. Some time ago a sheriff of one of the counties in my State died. There was another gentleman residing in the county who thought he could till the official shoes of the deceased to a nicety, so he proceeded to draw up a recommendation in his owu behalf for appointment to the vacancy and then secured his neighbors' signature to it. He recited in the document his numer? ous qualifications for the position, and stated, among other things, that 'Mr. Jones was strictly honest.' Tie carried the paper to old Judge Smith and asked him to sign it. "The judge put on his specs and carefully read the paper over. Then he coughed and said : " 'Jones, I'll sign this here recom? mendation if you'll let me change one word in it.' "Jones glowed with satisfaction, for the judge's signature was a power in the premises. ."'Ccrt'ny, judge, cert'ny,' he cor? dially remarked. 'One word can't hurt the paper. Now, what word would you like to change, sir ?' " 'Well,' replied the judge, 'I just want to scratch out the word 'strictly' where it proceeds honest and insert the word 'tolerably.' " The grave justices laughed and the case went on. If the Oceans were Dry. "Suppo.^e the ocean beds were dry how long would the rivers of the worlf have to pour themselves into it befon it was filled again, presuming then was no loss by evaporation ?" Answer by the Brooklyn Eagle This question, or one very like it, ha; "gone the the rounds," for a goo< while. Its terms seem to infer tha some things have been forgotten ii formulating it, as will be seen. Tin oceans and seas on the surface of tin globe, representing 145,000.000 square miles, with an average depth of 2,tP fathoms, arc [calculated to contain A 270,600 billion tons of water. If ? were all evaporated and the basins left dry, it has been computed that, at the rate of thirty-six cubic milos per day (the estimated flow of all the rivers in the world), it would occupy 85,000 years to replace and create a complete circuit of the whole of the seas as they at present stand. But this required a further assumption, namely, that the river would continue to flow with their present capacity, which would, in fact, be impossible if the ocean bed were empty and dried up. If such a thing happened the river beds would soon follow suit and be also empty, as the sea is their great source of water supply. It is estimated that every year a layer of the entire ocean fourteen feet thick is taken up into the clouds and returns to the earth in the shape of rain, keeping its springs and rivers supplied with water. St?p this supply and the rivers of the world would soon be mere dribbles of water, which would shoruy and quickly disappear, render? ing it impossible for them ever again to fill the sea to its present extent. Hough on liice Beer Men, Colum?ia, S. 0., Sept. 4.?The bomb is about to fall upon the rice beer dealers and in a few days the 8tafe constabulary will sweep down upon the places where this beverage is offered for sale. Ever since tbe dispensary law went into effect ex-saloons all over the State have been selling the so-cnlled rice beer. Governor Tillman put his constables to work and procured numerous samples from dealers in all sec? tions and sent them to the State chemist for analysis without letting the general public into bis scheme. This afternoon Chemist Burnly submitted his report. Thereupon the governor made the follow? ing remarks to the reporters: "It is nothing but lager in disguise. I shall at once instruct my constables to arrest all parties selling rice beer, and to arre-t the beer also. I am going to indict them at once, and the analysis will furnish the proof. I am tired of these doings, and am not going to have this monkey busi? ness any longer. All the samples analys? ed approximate 4 per cent, alcohol. He Met His Match. Here is another rich man's story; An aflluent lumber merchant presented himself not long ago in the office of Dr. S. Weir Mitchell, the celebrated specialist in nervous diseases. The physician recog? nized in his patient an old schoolmate whom he bad not seen for thirty years, An exchange of reminiscences and a pro? fessional consultation ensued, followed by a dozen "office consultations" on the ail? ment of the merchant. In due time he received a bill from the famous physician for ?300. "I see you are doing well," said the mer? chant to the physician. "Yes," returned tbe doctor, "but it re? quired thirty years' experience to reach this point."' A year later the physician was building a new house on Sixteenth street, and it was wainscoted in English maple. He did not at ODce find the wood he desired for hie beautiful dining room, and remember? ing the lumber merchant, he drove to his office. The desired maple was found there, ordered and delivered, and in the course of time a bill came. It was for $300. ?'I thought," demurred the surprised physician to his schoolmate, "that maple was not expensive." "It is not," returned tbe merchant, "usually. It has taken thirty years' ex? perience to reach the point of charging ?300 for it.?<SY. Louis Republic. He is very High, Indeed. Washington, D. C, September 4 ?At 3 o'clock this afternoon the conduct of the case of China and tbe negotiations over the exclusion law were officially taken charge of by Yang Yu, tbe now Chinese minister, whose rank in his country is so high tbat it is only four de? grees below tbat of the emperor of the celestial kingdom himself. The minister presented his credentials at the hour named and was formally recognized by tbe latter as tbe diplomatic representative of China to the United States. Yang Yu, with four attendants of his legation, met Secretary Gresham at the State Depart? ment by appointment, and a few minutes before 3 o'clock, the party, with the addi? tion of Assistant Secretary Adeo, were driven to tbe white house and ushered into the blue room. Tbe minister and bis attendants were attired in silk robos, the blouses of black and skirts of blue. Each wore a hat of red and black adorn? ed with plumes of pure silk. Strung aiound his waist the minister wore the insignia of the ordinary of the eight banners, while the other diplomats wore minor decorations suitably append? ed. When Secretary Gresham had made the presentations the minister made a brief speech. Tho reply of the president was also brief. Both speeches abounded in expressions of good will, personal and official, and desire for future good rela? tions between the two countries upon a basis of comity and rngard for interna? tional relations. ?
