THE INDIAN OUTBREAK.
The Narrow Escape of the Seventh
Cavalry at White Clay Creek De
cember 529,1890.
A special from Pine Ridge Agency,
8. D., says:
“It is evident from the testimony
of officers and men that the 7th cav
alry barely escaped the tragic fate of
Custer in the battle of White Clay
Creek, The troops bad passed the
Catholic mission and were dismount
ed in a big valley one and a half miles
wide just oeyond the school. At the
end of this valley is a narrow canon,
not over seventy-five feet wide and
three hundred yards long, opening
into a small circular park. It was
the object of the Indians to trap them
into this small valley.
“The soldiers were getting ready to
make a rush on foot for the top of the
hill, when the cry arose that they
were surrounded. Advancing now in
one direction, now in another on eith
er side of the valley, they found them
selves opposed each time by two to
three thousand warriors, and twenty
minutes more a tragedy would have
gone to the world when the untiring
9th rode in as they rode before at the
time of the Meeker massacre, attack
ing furiously the rear of the savages
and scattering them in every direc
tion.
“Before the enemy could rally from
their fright the boys in blue withdrew
slowly and sullenly to Pine Ridge.
The enemy drove horses and cattle in
every direction.
“While the blizzard made the old
men. women and children to suffer,
it will have little effect on the bucks
and warriors.
A party of Indian scouts visiting
the scene of Monday’s battle found
nine Indians who were wounded in
the fight still alive. Two of them
had been taken to a log hut near by
and were being cared for by a squaw
who had remained behind. The oth
er seven, all of whom were found ly
ing in gullies remote from the battle
field, had survived the blizzard with
out any attention of any kind. Two
Tyere bucks and the other five were
squaws. There was scarcely enough
life left in any of the party to pay the
scouts for bringing them in, but they
did so and they are now with the oth
ers in the Episcopal Church.
In addition to the adults found, two
tiny Indian babes, neither of them
over three months old, were found
alive. Each was beside the dead body
of its mother. They were well wrap
ped up, but how they ever survived
the fearful weather of the last forty
eight hours seems a miracle. The in
fants were brought to the agency and
found friends In the wives of the In
dian scouts. Of the thirty-five woun
ded Indians brought in after battle,
nearly all of whom were squaws and
children, not one has as yet died, yet
many of them ace badly wounded
with bullets,
The rear guard of the party of eiiari-
-doiug scouts that went out in their
rch for wplmded Indians were
to exchange several shots with^

The Power of Money.
What an influence for good or evil
is exerted by the proper or improper
use of money. It seems to be the first
essential of modern life. Sad indeed
is the lot of that man or that woman
without money and without friends.
Especially in case of sickness is the
need of money felt most pressingly,
and yet even the rich with all their
money fall into a state of poor health
and die, whereas if their money was
richly expended and the proper reme
dies applied they might regain health
and strength.
Z. A. Clark, Atlanta, Ga., says “I
spent four hundred and eighty dollars
in gold to cure me of terrible blood
poison that affected my limbs and
nose aud body, with running ulcers.
One month’s treatment of B B B
healed the ulcers, restored mv appe
tite, strengthened my kidneys and ad
ded 21 pounds to weight.”
Still, in spite of this and much oth
er testimony there are many who re
fuse to try the remedy, seeming to
prefer to pay large fees to physicians,
or visit distant springs in vain hopes
of recovery. The great truth howev
er, ever shines brightly and that is,
that no one who ever gave B B B (Bo
tanic Blood Balm) a trial ever found
disappointment therein.
O. H. Rudolph, Talladega, Fla.,
writes: I had blood disease for six
years, but nothing beuefitted me, al
though I paid two hundred and fifty
dollars tor treatment. At last I tried
B B B and found it a quick aud cheap
blood purifier.
January Eclectic.
The January issue of the Eclectic
Magazine contains a steel engravingof
Alesaudria and a fine table of con
tents. Professor Huxley contributes
a paper on “Pre-Historic Man,”
which students will take pleasure in
reading. Mr. H. H. Johnston discus
ses the “Development of Tropical
Africa under British Auspices,” a
subject of timely interest. “Ouida”
talks of Modern Florence, and Mrs
Lynn Linton has something to say
about modern tendencies under the
title of “Modern Topsy-Turveydom.”
The article on “Customs,” by Sir
Herbert Maxwell, is entertaining and
suggestive. The anonymous article,
“Deep-Sea-Fish,” is really by that
most entertaining writer, Grant Al
len. Another popular scientific arti
cle on Dew” is by J. G. McPherson,
F. R. S. E., and a very interesting
paper on “The Science of Old Ago,”
by Dr. Schofield, tells us how life
may be greatly prolonged by simple
means within the reach of all. “Dr.
Koch’s Consumption cure,” is ably
discussed by Dr. Edward Berdoe.
There are other articles of superior in

ending of Tolstoi’s story, “Work while

Thoughts Appropriate to the Season.
iTanure made in the winter should,
where it ta possible* be spread as it is
made on the laud where it is to be
used, says the agriculturist, It is a
fact that cannot be controverted, and
has been abundantly proved both by
reason and practice that manure is
never worth more than it is the day
it is made. Nothing is added to it,
but usually much is lost from it by
lapse of time. Except on very sloping
ground the manure is safe from all
danger of loss, and is put where it
will do the most good when it is
spread on the laud direct from the
stable. There is no more handling of
it, and if it is rained upon ail that is
dissolved from it goes into the soil
just when it is wanted^ It is a con
venience and an economy to haul out
the manure aud spread it as soon as a
wagon load accumulates.
For a number of years we have
urged farmers and gardeners to make
their compost right in the furrows,
handling the stable manure and lot
scrapings but one time. For the gar
den and for certain special piants,
like celery and cauliflower, it is well
enough to make up the finer quality
of manure into compost before apply
ing to the soil, but for ordinary use'it
is much more convenient and eco
nomical to haul out the rough manure
aud scatter it along in the furrows,
and then sprinkle over it the mineral
elements that are necessary to make
up the compost—some form of potash
and phosphate. This can be done
any time during the winter, and soon
afterward the manure can be listed on.
Unless the land is very rolling the
loss will be inappreciably small, even
if the manure is left uncovered. If
the rows are run perfectly horizontal
there will be little loss. Most of the
manure made on southern farms is of
very inferior quality, and uot worth
enough to warrant several handlings
that many give it in making comp*»st
under shelter that can be better made -
directly in the furrows. The w*ork
can be accomplished at a time when
other work is not pressing, and one
can take the time to do it just right.
If the furrows have been previously
laid off the manures can be hauled out
and applied even while the soil is fro
zen and covered afterward when the
soil has thawed and become dry.
Many believe that commercial ferti
lizers are only stimulants, says Prof.
Jordan. Nothing can be more ab
surd than such a notion. Such ferti
lizers furnish true plant food, just as
surely as does the best yard manure
ever hauled into the field.
There are some obvious reasons
why this statement can be confident
ly made:
1. Tiie compounds in farm manures
that feed plants are the same com
pounds that commercial fertilizers
furnish to the soil. Does it makeauy
difference to the plant whether it gets
phosphate of iime or potash from com
mercial fertilizer or from stable ma
nure?
2. Plants have been grown to per
fection in water solutions and in the 1
ft barren quartz sand by the us« of
