Hampton am? iiurler aud Their Start's the I^ast to Cross the IJridge-Msijor llarker's Heroism. To the Editor of the Ne"srs and Courier: The article "written by General Hampton on Benton viile is another illustration of that modestv v/Lich has so much endeared him to his people. The General has not given all the facts in regard to that critical moment, wben the army of | General J. E. Johnston was imperiled J by the advance of General Mover's j division on the extreme left of the Con- i fedejjite position. He has not stated | ' -sfully the part he bore in the repulse of j th^t most serious attack. It is due to j him*and to jfche tenth of history that j thostipSTVere prfewsii- should recordj theimfstimony as to the facts beforej thejjbecome silent forever. "Honor to j whdPO. honor is due." otthe third day of the battle General j Johnston's army .was almost surrounded j by th6 legions of Sherman. The Confederate lines extended in the form of a horse's shoe around Bentonville, the base being a ooggy creek or run, called Mill Creek, over which there was bat one bridge, and that one near to the village. The columns of General Sherman were converging around the right and centre of General Johnston's works, which were rather crude and constructed hastily. On our extreme left, near the village of Bentonville, the line was held j by skeleton regiments of dismounted ; cavalry, ana yon? correspondent, i in command oi the 10th Georgia regi-1 meat of Young's brigade, Butler's division, t, i car the extreme end of the ! works. Young's brigade v?as then commanded by Colonel Wright, o::' the Cobb legion, which ccmnland, with the Jefl' Davis legion, the Phillips legion and the 10th Georgia, constituted Young's brigade. When the head of Mower's division ma le its app?r?-nce, covercd by a cloud of skirmishers, there was no force to resist it in our works. It swep: past the line, and was moving towards the bridge over IMill Creek, thus throwing itself directly upon the liue oi General John ^ on's retreat and his ou'y way out, be i. would not have been possible ~ >r C era!

J _d courier s only, brought into action ! a battery of artillery which was near! Bentonvilie village and ordered Colonel; Wright to attack the iiank of Mower's j column with his dismounted men. The ! order was promptly obeyed, and a melee j ensued, in which the commands got in-1 . fcermixed and engaged almost hand-to- j hand in a severe struggle. E allots tlew j in everv d~:"^*M7rr, r r 111 ,il - -- ? - ?--i-dwLi (jeorgia were' shot down twice in j ten minutes. It has always been a j % vroader to your correspondent how j ^ General Hampton escaped on that day. j Jd these troops were hotiy engaged j il Hardee't, column came in sight j iarged witn the Rebel yell. This stop to the advance of General j and in a few moments his whole j a was in full retreat and our lines j blished. naked truih.is that but for Gen- j ampton's pr<knpt action, with in- j ite means, as' it was, the charge j jy General Mower's division would j ssulted in the occupation of .Benionville by the Federal troops, and to j ^ jislodge them would have required more ; " rorce than Genere.1 Hardee hud, his sina1!; command being'all that was in reserve, j Any conflict of a serious nature in the I rear of General Johnston's works would i have have demolished his troops, already | sore-pressed and under a. heavy lire, J both of small arms and artillery. It I follows that although General Hardee! did drive back General Mower's division, j ?? it would have been impossible, had it t not have been checked by General Hampton", with his dismounted cavalry and his scouts and couriers. General Sherman may say that he ordered Mower back, but that column was forced back, and did not wait for orders. The ground ! where the contest took place was littered with dead and wounded of both sides. Had not General Hampton attacked ; the advancing column of General Mower i it would have had time to correct its alignment and cover the earthworks, j which they had passed, with sharp- ] shooters and artillery, so that General | Hardee would have found it a difficult I task to dislodge him. It was the sud-1 denness of the attack and -the fa<jt_ that j it. -was made from both flanks,.at Once I which checked the advancing .Troops. Just after the line was reformed and tiie - works reo^upied the matter was talked ! of by the ofticers present, and it was i then the gener * opinion that Hampton, j and not a_yone else, had saved the Army j from being' taken in reverse and doubled up on itseu. It is Lne that the final disaster soon followed, but had the Con- j federates at Bentonville been compelled j rto fight their way out the loss of life j must have been very great, and possibly ! unavailing at lust. " j On the retreat a stand was made at Smithville. Your correspondent w&s detailed to prepare the covered bridge at that point for destiucri on. The intantry and almost all the artillery passed over first, whilst the cavalry w.\s holding the town. Kilpatrick, with mfp^try supports, and several light batteries, pressed ^ "*>rw~-d with sanguine hopes ci cutting V t.tf L Confederates, who were cn the + j of the bridge, and he had ^ reached the banks of the river id below the bridge before the kjZ tne cvalry crossed. Bullets were s^wrng the air from both direction when Generals Hampton and Butler, with their stalls, rode into and through the bridge, and at once the torches, already * -.1. A - -1 J 3 _ J3 ?i- X iigntea, ttebuexiueu, auu uie vty-vi.c juiu'vX tare, which load been previously hacked J and supplied with rosin and turpentine .in heaps, -was enveloped in lurid tlames. In that way a start was secured to our retreating forces and the eagerness of Kilpatrick balHed. General Butler covered the rear of Johnston's army and was constantly engaged in holdug the Federals in check. On the occasion, during the retreat *<? from Smithville to Kaleigh, the artillery, which was quite a large body, as it had most of "the guns of General Johnston's army, with much reserve ammunition, L became embedded in a mora^ or bog on P the road- and time was necessary to extricate it and corduroy the road, Major T. G. Barker was sent to the rear to use such means as might be at his command to- to the necessary time. The 10th K Georgia was then in the extreme rear oi B|-^. our column." It was faced about and deployed in a piece of wocded laud L I crossing the road. Major Barker took Jus position in the front of the command Si ? V $?& S& without even availing himself ol the cover of the large pine?, which gave some protection to the men of the regiment.. Before long the advance skirmishers of the Federal force came in sight. They extended entirely across the lar. c open field in our front and overlapped our troops on both Hanks. U was manifest that our position was untenable, yet Major Barker was sent there to hold it until a gun should indicate that our artillery *?as once more on the march. Any man who looked at his clear cut profile and compressed lips could read there the determination to carry out those orders, even if we lost our whole command. There are many sorts of perils in war, and various types of courage may be seen, with sometimes a conspicuous absence of that quality, i Of ali trials none can exceed that of a man who knows and realizes Lis danger, jet faces it firmly for duty's sake. Major Barker had been twice wounded, he knew that it was only a question ! of a few moments when the w'hisiliug j bullets would give us more music than i 1 TT. 1 J_i.1 | we wantea. xic seen- tuai. mere wtw iu ; be no excitement to nerve us; that we were too weak to make a charge, where i all sense of clanger is drowned in the mad whirl of the blood. He knew well that if shot there our bodies, alive or dead, would fall into the hands of tue | j enemy. Yet there he sa^, his fine face looking like a carved cameo. Your correspondent admits thai he was very badly scared, but what was to be done? Nothing, except to wait and make the [ best we could of the coming unequal contest, and hope for success. Oar chances were slim, indeed. Their gnns could out reach ours, they were afoot, we were mounted. They had large supports approaching, we had none. They svere elated with a year of past success, we were depressed with past and present misfortunes. It was a trying time. Yet cof nf.ynri'r.iii f/ltp and cj.lrn as a monument. Presently the lire opened and by good luck the Federals overshot us. They were using long range riliss and we were too close. They cut the tree limbs over our heads and caused us to wince with the scream of an occasional shell. We returned the Urc?and the line stopped. We Tvere ordered to continue to lire rapidly so as to cause our number to be overestimated. We did sc?and the ilf-ct desired was produced. How anxiously the sound of that gun was waited for no man can cell. Before its boom was heard the Federal line had been reinforced and had recommenced its advance. Tha signal came none too soon to save our w hole command from capture or from destruction. Ivluny a time since in thinking over the j events of the war-time your correspond- j enfchas seen in his "mind's eve" the form of Major Barker sitting stUi wait- J icg for the sound of that gun, whose i detonation his living ears might never! have heard, a man chained by inflexible j ooeaienee to oruers xo a post wiiere ut.ty looked squarely into the jaws of death. E. W. il. Mining at the Pole. .?i* mmj iw.t ol v kiiuyn that important mining operations are carried on within the Arctic circle. Cryolite is brought from Greenland to Philadelphia by the shipload to be used in the making o: candles. At Alten, near the North cape in Finmark, extensive copper mines ! jinvii been worked for a long time. When it is remembered that most of the , work has to be done under ground, ami ! that heat is what the workmen suffer [ most from, it become:; apparent at once j that mines may be almost as profitable I in these high latitudes as they would be | on cur coest. The main thing is to [ have communication open a year for bringing supplies and carrying away the ores. An engineer who visited the mines at Alten a few years ago, to study the condition in which they were worked, found that the cliniits interposed no obstacle. The mint-s. when fairly aeep, are warmer in winter than in summer. In such work as has to be done above j ground, there is scarcely any mterrupi tioL. Daring the three dark months, I when the sun does not shine, there is no lack of light to the eye accustomed to I the conditions. The sky is clear and starry, the aurora is playing most of thctime. and whatever bgiit there is the reflection from the sncw increases and intensifies. More than 130 years ago mining v.as carried on extensively about the shores of the White Sea by Saxon workmen. Silver, copper and lead were produced in quantities. ISow that the whale fishery has declined, mining enterprises seems most likeiy of anothing to promote exploration and settlement within the Artie circle.?Youth's Companion. MOM.tlE.\T TO LEE.

A I'itif;:) Account of the Dumb Victims of Inoculation?Doctors at "Work?Doubts of the Invention's Value. (Paris Correspondence of the S. Y. Tribune ) Pasteur has scored another failure. Padre Luiz, tlie Portuguese priest who was bitten by a mad woii last July ynd placed under treatment at the institute in the Rue Vanquelin, died two days ago. It is not true that the youth who met with a similar misfortune at the same time and place and came with him to Paris has also sham! the Padre's fate. On the contrary he has not yet shown systems of hydrophobia, but is in good care. He was bitten in eye, cheek and nose. A peasant who was fearfully lacerated by the mad wolf's tusks and who was not treated according to the Pasteurian method is quite well. I went to-day to the Hue Vanquelin where the institute has been created. It is very new, not massively built, but airy, clean and spacious. Howls of the most dismal sort proceed from the basement story. TTiev r?-M s^nt nr> hv dorrs which have been or are to be martyrized for the glory of Pasteur and (to believe him) the good ox humanity. If the saints under the altar cried lialf as piteously "How long, oh Lord? How long?" Heaven must have soon lent, an ear to their supplications and angels have been sent to minister to them. One can distinguish the bark of the dogs which feels that rabies is stealing on him, or that his trepanned brain is festering and driving him mad. There is the bark that comes, as it were, from almost catside the throat, which is a sign that lungs and larynx are getting paralyzed. Then there are varieties of plaintive bowwows which say "I know that I am going to show myself a wild, wicked beast, but it's not my fauit and l imploae your pardon." There's no sadder sight on earth than that presented by a dog which knows rabies is coming on it and is not yet frenzied. It looks so suppliant, and sad, so sorry, and every one of its gestures begs pardon before hand for what it is doomed to try to do. The dog which is captured by Pasteur knows there is no room for hope in the inferno into which it has been thrust. Tr^ lis nrnfnndis is a thine to make the ?~ 1 ? iiesh creep. I can't believe that such cruelty as that to -which it is a victim can be practiced with impunity in the name of science. On traversing the court rendered dismal by this de profundis I went into the ante-chamber to the dispensary. It is large, airy, sonsy, and merely furnished with bcnehos that run along the wall on overy side. They were all occupied. Those who were newcomers had a relatively fresh look. The ones who had been some days undergoing the treatment had a fagged or jaded air. There were five children on maternal laps. The children were all pretty, all gay, all restless, and the mothers all haggard from anxiety. Bigger youngsters were cryiag as if nervous and scared. A little girl wanted to know if she were to be again punctured. Another whom I knew said she was feverish and thought she was sure to go mad. Pasteur was out of town?"at a ir\uierizcrcs-rrgress?' said, to rue oiio of his"assistants. "Whom could I see in his stead?" I asked. "For what'?" s;To i>now for a newspaper all about the Padre Luiz.:' I was shown into the dispensary, where Dr. Chenu was at work. "When I've attended to these people," he said, :'I shall be at yonr service." They came in in Indian file, and each in passing before him bared the pit of the stomach to be inoculated with the timed virus. Each file was a category. There were ten categories and ten classes with stuff like yellow starch in them. The different files had their several glasses. The doctor worked in silence and seemed not to realise that he was operating on hu^nan beings. There was not a ray of sympathy shown for the poor creatures, v.-h.j were gushingly grateful. When he v.as through with hi? task I Vint up to him. He took a teleg'ram out of a pile of telegraphic messages. It announced the deaih of the priest. He then opened a day book in which was this er.try: "Rodriguez liairro Luiz, age ;"S, priest, coming from Cabannas, Province of Iras os Montes, Portugal. Bitten on July 5 at 7 in the morning. Five wounds, namely, one in the neck, one in the cheek, one in the forehead, one in the lip and one in the arm; the one on the lip greatly tumefied and most dangerous; admitted to treatment August 3, Said he had been cauterized by a country chemist with a . yellow burning liquid, but did not know what it was." The doctor then shut the register and put it in its place. He proceeded to say that nothing short of a miracle could have saved the priest. "Why?" I asked. "Because," he answered; "he came too late. He should have come before the tenth day of incubation. That woiild have saved him." "But," I said, "I re member that M. Pastour claimed ability to save after even a month's incubation." "Yon remember more than I clo," replied the doctor. "When did he say so?" "Why, when he appealed to the whole world to subscribe to his institute. lie distinctly announced that dwellers on the Pacific Coast of North and South Americ.' would, if bitten by rabid animals, l^ve time to come to Paris to be saved from rabies."" The doctor did not answer. After a brief pause he said: "Pasteur's remedy, like every other cure, is only efficacious whin not applied too late. Patients come to us twenty, twenty-five, thirty and forty days aftsr they have been bittea. We take them in simply to calm th'.*ir nerves. If they die the systsm is not at fault."

The Man "Who Would Aekuoivledge thai He Could not Kuti a Xe?si>:t]ier Not Vet Discovered. (' nieronymonsCrank'' iu Memphis Times) I have never jet discovered the man who-would acknowledge anything else; he might confess that he had mistaken Lis calling in becoming a- minister; he might say that he was never built for a lawyer, or tbat medicine was not to his taste; he mi.uht own up that he could not run a mill, a locomotivoL a school, a hotel, a steamboat or a saloon; but never admit that he could not make a newspaper a howling success. I discovered this psychological fact several years ago when a friend of mine ; took a trip to Europe and asked me to ran his paper for him while he was j awu;*. Now, if there was any one thing j that I thought I could do then, it was to conduct a newspaper; so I promptly acceded to his request and was installed as editor. I determined in the iirst place that I would sound public sec-imeut, and find out accurately what my readers wanted. Here are a few of their opinions: "Your editorials are too long. People don't read anything longer than fifteen lines nowadays. They believe in paragraphs."; "Why don't you give us some editorials. Those s!iurt comments are not worth reading. They give us no idea of I a subject." "You ought to give more personal and society news. Surely the movement; of respectable people arc of much more importance than the records of the police court." "What makes you fill your paper with all this slush? No one cares to read that kind of stall.1' "I can't see why you fill your paper with so much trival local news when so many important events are tliking place elsewhere." "For goodaess sake give us a rest on the foreign news. Nobody here cares what the royal idiots are doing in England." "Why don't you cater more to the ladies? They arc the greatest newspaper readers and it seems to me you slight them entirely." "Look here! You are making a mistake in publishing a woman's paper. If you expect to succeed, you will have eto put something stronger in it.: "As soon as you quit publishing this infernal base ball news you can reuew my subscription." "What's the matter with your paper now? It has no base ball news in it. That's the only department I :ea^, and if you can't give us more than you do, why. you can stop my paper." "You could greatly improve your paper by publishing articles of the best humorists occasionally." "I can't understand why youstuffyour columns with the alleged humor of Bill Nye, Bob Bordette and* the funny papers. No one wants to read that kind j of stuff." "Well, I see you arc publishing a rod ! hot prohibition paper now. You will j make a great many enemies by embrae| in? that folly."-' J _ "I hear a good many "complaints imong prohibitionists of the lukewarmi ness of the paper. They say that you j Lave gone back on the cause." "There is one thing lacking in your | paper. You are not spicy and personal I enough. People want personalties nowj a-days. They want to be shook up." "You ought not to indulge so much ! in personalities. Maintain a judicial tone, and avoid anything like heat of malice." "If the paper had more sporting news in it and fewer religious notes, it would be more popular." ? "Religious people complain a great deal about you filling your paper with sporting news, and neglecting the affairs of the church." Such was the advice I got. It was plain that in order to satisfy everybody I had to double the size of the ptiper or discontinue its publication entirely. I concluded to adopt the advice in sections. I became by turns raptuousiy reiigiously and sublimely skeptical. I wrot2 like a iiterateur one week, and like the correspondent of a sporting . journal the next. I constructed ponderous articles on the tariff and as an offset penetrated the giddy of the giddies and dashed up an editorial on society. I wrote earnestly about base ball and developed an easy cow-boy style in my literary critiques. I noticed every local plank walk tiiat had been laid and every watermelon lawn party that hud been given one week; and the nest I wrote about the early extermination </f Europe. I gave my views about egricultare in a way that infatuated the entire Granger element. I wrote up a public official in a judicial way, and no one paid any attention to it. I dcnounccd another official in a lurid, red-J eaded style, and contracted a serious case of doctor's bill on account of it. Wiieu I had been an editor for six weeks I became aware of the fact that if the owner of the paper did not return ( soon he would find nothing of his paper iett except tiie mortgage on find press.

Minneapolis, October 9.?The letter prepared by General Master Workman Powderly upon the attitude of the Catholic Church toward the Knights of Labor, and which has been awaited with more than ordinary interest by the members of the order throughout the countr\*, was tina-iy completed tonight, anil will be presented lo the General Assembly tomorrow morning. It reads as follows: "In the month of October of lust year Cardinal Gibbons called ihe archbishops of America together to discuss serious matters appertaining to the church in this country, the principal among these being the relationship of the order of Knights of Labor -with secret societies. Protestants and Catholics became deeply interested in the | a?titude wilier tiiese twelve powerrm prei bites, who are a:. the head ci the America I hierarchy, would take with reference to j the labor problem. "It had been represented to the ecclesiastical authorities that the Knights were seeking to revolutionize generally accepted fundamental principles by claiming for labor the right to dictate to capital, uad u: this manner were seeking to bring-into full force popular sovereignty in opposition to private rights; that they were following the example of the French socialist? and arrogating to themselves the right of ordering strikes whenever it suited their purposes, and by these strikes cause the loss of life and the destruction of private property; and that should the order prosper with its pernicious principles it wouid inevitably lead its members and the working classes generally from insubordination to anarchy 1W! cnpiulicm If tliA nrinrfnlfis of I lie Knights were ever to prevail among the people, faith and religion would be forever destroyed in our country. ' - "Thus spoke the enemies of organized labor. "Immetiately after the close of the last session of the General Assembly in Richmond, your general master workman received a courteous invitation from bis Eminence the Cardinal to come to Baltimore, as his presence there was required for the purpose of offering testimony on matters concerning the order, oad upon which his Eminence desired particular information. "7 selected Brothers John "W. Haves and Tom O'lieilley to accompany me to Baltimore. "Our committee submitted to his Eminence that the unifying force of the Order of the Knights of Labor consisted in the breadth and purity of the principles inculcated, and the cultivation of intellectual, moral and social happiness." * * "It was satisfactorily shown to the prelate," fhe letter goes on to.say, "tliat it was the hope and desire of the founders of the movement to-purge the order of the j violent element?the element of radical I mon -nrlin want. 1 n fniinH ft SOCifttV O? I atheistic anarchy. "Cardinal Gibbons replied in substance: "After whnl we have just learned, the presec* condition of the order is to us an unmistakable indication that the control of your organisation still rests with the conservative element, and is a guarantee that there will be r^sh ;.ad dangerous deparUirss?fr. -xrr~t icu.i u res or its policy which com. :.:nd .be forbearance and respect, if rithe ''proval, of the entire ountry. With pru.ient leaders and a wise general policy, your vast and rapidly increasing array of wage-workers is destined to exert a tremendous influence in the social and political affairs of the country. We now infer that the objects of the Knights r>f Labor are praiseworthy and in no way opposed to the views of the Catholic church. The Catholic prelates wiil declare in favor of labor; the Catholic church in America will take the side of the weaker against the stronger. " 'Tlwwliniv-.il ia iiicflv lvatMifnl all secret organizations. There is do need ?.>f secrecy where the ends and the methods of organization are justifiable, and secrecy raises a presumption iiiai there is something which will not bear the light of flay. "The Catholic Church it most visible to all creation and it instinctively guards against secrecy and concealment. " 'The denial of tbe right of the church Lo interfere with her children when she fears that their course is dangerous to morals or perilous to the security of society cannot be sustained in any way, cither upon Catholic or Protestant teaching or practice."

A habit with our thoughtless young ladies who do a great many things quietly which the}* would cot like to have known of at home?a habit deserving of thestronge?t condemnation?is that of promiscuous correspondence w'rl: gentlemen, whether ta? gentlemen be t> 'Tried or single.

The exceptions taken to the editorial were based principally on the language used with, reference to Mrs. Cleveland and which was as follows: ' And it is extremely hard to respect either member of this family now touring for votes.

FLESH TURNED INTO STONE, 1 Komarkahle Stories of Petrification in the Ua<l Lands of Dakota. (From the Milwaukee Journal.) r Dakota is truly a marvelous country.. Not only wonderful in mineral and agricultural resources, but it abounds in geological formations that affords constant suiprice and study for the student in the most interesting science. The Bad Lands, located seventy miles southeast of this point, have no equal on this continent as areceptible for petrifactions of amphibious animals. The peculiarity j of the soil transforms liesa into stone, j bat this power is not omy confined to the soil of the Bad Lands, bat exists in many locations in the Black Hills. A case has just come to the knowledge of our correspondent that- has never been made public, and proves thai, many bodies buried in the Hills have tamed to stone. The case at hand is that of a little son of Mr. Eugene Eoleomb, a prominent citizen of Rapid City. Some years ago the boy died and was buried lu ii 1JUU out &C1UC AUI V/LULJ ing purposes. When the city grew and a cemetery was selected, Mr. Holcomb had a large monument erected, ar>d the d-'parted disinterred. The farm!/ expected when the shovel of the gravedigger reached the casket it would need replacing and had made preparations to chat end. The coffin *vas reached, and as the man endeavored to place a rcpe underneath to twist it to the surface, he wit5 surprised at its great weight. Thinking it was the narrow, contracted hole that reduced its strength, he made several more efforts, but only moved it a few inches, and was compelled to call for a d. Two men succeeded in placing the rops about the casket, and with a hard puil it was brought to the surface. An examination followed, and upon the deceased being revealed it was found that the body had turned, not as Scripture ^avs: 4'Dust thou a:t to duM: reinrnest," -but into solid rock. From a gentleman wiic was present and whose word can "02 relied upon, it was learned that the parents easily recognizsd the child, i'lie body had assumed a dark brown *1>a ^o^tirnc c!v/ni"ltr w?irnnl'or? iii-i.tr ^.liiiu-. JL-J a lid lie compared ii with the appearance of a mummy. The eyebrows r.ad hair were of a lighter hue, while tiie hands looked perfect. It was the most singula sight he had ever witnessed, and only the sensitive feelings of the parents kept the matter from the newspaper column?. T ie boy was again intarred. and now rests peacefully in the family lot for aught we know. The otrange transformaiton of the body is not the only instant rceorded. The number of dead removed has not a&'orded an opportunity to learn ho?" common an occurance this may be, but learned gentlemen ttll me that when Gabriel blows his bugle, or the disinterment of bodies becomes necessary in the i>:aek Hills country, many bodies will be turned to stone. The other instance related is that of Wild Bill, murdered in Deadwood by Jack McCaii ten years ago. Bill was buried on the mountain j-ide, and building of residences compelled the unearthing of his bones. Wiias was the surprise of his friends wlien they discovered that the famous frontiersman was a solid stone?petrified. This revelation may appear strange to Eastern readers, but here it is an open" secret. HOW A SIOUX DIKS. The Strange Sights that a. Traveler S;i\v in a Tepee. (Correspondence Washington Star.) In 1SS11 was hunting some lost houses in the broken country west of the i3:g Horn river. I had ridden all the morning over a country that was strange to me. Ahout eleven o'clock I crossed a j :<tteau, and was surprised to come suddenly to the end of a canyon, the existence of which I had not even suspected. > n the canyon was a stream with clumps o: cottonwood along its banks, and in one of the open spaces was an Indian lodge. The Indians that hunted intuat taction were peaceable, but the war was i'liit over, and the Sioux were very sore, it' they were Crows or Arapahoes I might get some information about my horses. I lay down and watched. No .smoke came from the iepee; no one moved arouod it; half a dozen ponies graved a few hundred yards distant, j There was not even a dog, which looked j r;.taer suspicious. Alter waiting live minutes I knew no more than at iirsi. Suddenly three white tail deer cam;; iVom the timber and walked leisurely ac.oss the opening. Then I knew that t ie camp was desected, and the strangeness of it startled me. I mounted and vode down to the creek and straight to ihe tepee. I threw back the flaw and I s'a ill remember what I saw until death. 1;; the centre oi the tepee was spread a bud'do robe, and on the robo were guns and scalps and many arrows; and. sitting cross legged in a circle aroan; the robe wore six braves of the Sioux nai Ion. Ail were in their prime?all dtokca out in u-ar paint, and each one held a bevv a id arrow in his hand. On every ''-ace was an expression of calm indifference, us of one who neither suil'ers nor enjoj s, neither hopc-s nor fears, 'i'hc faces were tft--.se of 'lead men, and the small pc-x h?;d marked liiem with its awful mark. T!'oy took their misery with their heads u*>, and even the horrors of this disease cj aid leave upon their hearts no stain ox fear, upon their brows no mark of suSerii-g. And this, that their God might j> dge them men, and fit them to pitch iL>jir camas forever in the eroves and greenfields of Paradise. i?eriou* Accident. On Friday last, at Dr. C. C.

TASTEFULLY ARRANGED OFFICES. How Art and Basin ess Are Combined with Advantage to Both. An artistic coal office is in Northampton, Mass., where a young lady is the , proprietor and manager. The office is a picturesque little sitting room and the odd moments of lime are devoted to drawing and designing, for the coal dealer is an artist and carries forward the business left bv her father. The articles vrhirh tltp needed for handling coal are. thanks to enterprising manufacturers, made in an an artistic and practical manner. "Wood boxes of antique oak are bound with handsome bands of hand wrought iron or polished brass, which prove very effective when developed in proper form. All these graceful and practical articles are found in the model coal office. The business office of The Decorator and Furnisher in New York is extremely picturesque, practical and suggestive, to those who love beauty of form and color, novel design and r-xftoisite workmanship. The office is one large room, with broad windows which admit a flood of sunshine aud plenty of fresh air. Entering from the hail, you see a group of light effect, and .voft, rich color, which fairly pervades the atmosphere. The room is divided into several nooks, called private offices, the partitions being made of fancy Japanese lattice work set in frames of bamboo; the open lattice, made in squares, shows a variety of design and the tiny bits of wood, most of which are less than an inch in length, are put together with wonderful exactness; the delicacy of the structure strikes one as not exactly suited to svery day use, but strength is secured by perfect construction, and the delicate outlinAC oroir? n/lr"ho? n txr f-rvvm tha ho/Or ground of color secured by the addition of soft, bright silken draperies put up very simply on tiny rods. These cozy offices are filled with soft, bright rugs. easy chairs, couches and artistic trifles, which add to the cozy effect and serve many times for practical busineso purposes. Mr. Low, the man of tiles, has a picturesque office ic. Chelsea. The exterior is made of brick, not polished red brick or painted brick, but refuse brick, odds and ends thrown one from the kiln as useless for building purposes.

The fittings are of (lark wood, the railings are of deep, rich Hone, twisted in long, graceful coils, clasped at intervals by bands of polished brass; chairs, tables, book racks, tile * holders, all have frames or supports of this twisted wood, which is highly polished and reflects light and shade in a very charming fashion. A deep English window with diamond panes opens toward the street, and from the roof a deep , shadow is cast along the outer wall from nroiectinweaves, while the corners of the j building are strongly defined by clustered bricks which have been very hot in the kiln alia in cooling rim out of shape, presenting irregular, elongated forms, which are quaint and attractive when defined against a brilliant sky.?Boston Art Magazine. Emancipation in Brazil. A large number of planters in Brazil have just been very nearly hoist with their own petard. Two years ago a law was t.nssed providing for the gradual emancipation of the slaves, of whom the empire still contains a large number. One of the provisions of this law was that every slaveholder should register the number and individual value of his slaves, and the period allowed for this registration expired at the end of March last. On the registers being overhauled it appeared'^that only a relatively .small proportion of the slaves in the country had been "declared.71. The bulk of them had been omitted"in. order that their owners might escape the small registration fee to be paid on each slave*. As many of the planters own larsce r.umbers of slaves the living to them was considerable.- Every slave not registered. however, becomes ex post facto free, and now ihere is gnashing of teeth in Brazil ever the 200,000 bondsmen who will, it is feared, be manumitted by reason of this evasion of the law. The planters had .'dunted upon the ignorance of the slaves not to claim their freedom, but the Brazili.-'ii Sambo has many friends. It appears, however, that most of the slaves who have so far become entitled to their liberty voluntarily remaining with their old masn-rs as hired laborers.?St. James' t r:-::ct?o.
