TUTS OUTPOST. Towards thc latter ?arl of tho year 17?1, thc French, aided hy vast bodies of tho Hurons an:! Iroquois Indians, hud begun to make themselves disagreeable noighbors to the American colonies in Northern Virginia and tho North west portion of New York State-thc French by their encroachment on tho lrontier, and the Indians by their numerous forays and savage barbarity to all who trefe un fortunate enough to fill into their bands. To put a stop to these aggressive pro ceedings numerous bodies, both of the regulara and colonial militia, were des patched to the several pointa assailed ; among-lhe rest a Col. Henry Innis, with a company of thirty men, W03 ordered to occupy n small outpost, or log fort, which at the period, stood within a few miles from thc North fork of the Allegheny river. Having arrived safely al their quarters the little company set about righting up the old post to make lt as comfortable as circumstances w-juld permit*; and this being done und order once moro restored, set)trier? were placed ut all the advanced points of the station, while the strictest vigilance was both enjoined and exer cised by day and night. Among thc Virginia riflemen who had volunteered into thc company, was a tall manly looking young fellow who from fulal and unerring skill as a marksman had 'received the somewhat inspiring turn ile plume of Death. Hut with whatever justice his name had been applied to him tor bis skill, bis disposition certainly en titled bim to no such terror spreading epithet. On tiic contrary, be was the very life of the company. Iiis rich fund of mother wit, large social propensities and constant good nature rendered bim a general favorite with the men; while the never failing stock of game which bis skill enabled liini to supply the mess table of tho officcre with, not only recommended him to their good grace*, but caused many a little shortcoming of his to be winked at and pasted over in silence, which other wise, perhaps, he might not have got ovei so easy. The company had not been stationed at thc fort moro than n week, ere Death, in one of his excursions for game, din covered a small farm house some three miles from thc fort, where lived a certiiit Miss Hester Stanhope, whoso equal it beauty and amiable qualities ho hud nev er seen before. Ana to render lum.vi still more certain of the fact, he called or the following day under cover of pretense of having left his powder flask. Death was invited to come again bj farmer Stanhope, who happened to bt from the cuiiie parish an tho father of oui hero; and wc need scarcely say that Hit Invitation was eagerly and joyfully nc COptcd, and its often as circumstance! would permit, complied with. Tho second week after this occurrence took pince, was marked with two events which, though singular, bulb afrcctct the wclfaro of widely different dcgreei of importance. Thc first wa?, Death hat either lost his skill usa marksman or tba gamo bad removed to a safer or mori distant neighborhood, for the officers larder had been round sudly wanting ii the items of wood cocks, blnek-cockf partmigan, &<:., for the week past-nm thc second and most important nf the tw events, was, thal in regular succession four sentinels had disappeared from th extreme left linc, without leaving th ?lightest trace to elucidate the myster of their disappearance. The circumstance struck such n dreu i ii tu >hi' brennt of tho company, that no on could bo found willing to volunteer to tak tho post-well knowing it would bo onl liku signing their own death warrant t do so ; and Col. Innis, not wishing t wilfully sacrifice tho lives of his men b compelling them to go, enjoined doubl caution on tho remainder nf tho sentinel! and left the post unoccupied for a nigh or two. Two or threo reconnoitering partie bad been dispatched otl'around tho neigli borhood in tho hope ot finding BomecTu to tho mystery, or of finding some intel ligenco of the enemy, but each oftliei returned as wiso as they started, with u reward for their trouble except wear bones. It was on the third night nf the deso? Hon of the post that our hero, Death, wa tetnruing to the fort, after paying a vlsi lo Stanhope's farm. The moon wa up, but her light was nearly all obscurci bv the dense masses of clouds which ii every few minutes were driven by ii prut ty stiff breeze over her face, while th i tige trees, now all iu full leaf, crackei aud groaned, and bent their tull forms t and fro, as thc heavy gusts rushed whin liing in among their branche?. Our hero had approached within hundred yards of tho termination of th forest that skirted tho small open ?pac iu which tho fort stood, when ho Budden ly paused and crouching down upon hi hands and knees crept cautiously forwan a few paces. Having remained in th! position fomevcral minutes, ho stcalthil again returned in tho manner ho ha advanced, and plunged into tho forest a n point considerably lower than where h had intended to leave it beforo. Col. Innis sat reading alono in his pri vate apartment, wheu un orderly entere und informed him that ono of the mc wMicd to speak to him. "Send him in," snid tho colonel : an at the next moment our friond Death ha entered, and mado his bow to the com mantling officer. "Well, whit scrape have you been gel ting into now?-' Raid the colonel whei ho Baw who his visitor was. "None, Colonel," replied Death, "bt I have come to ask a favor." "Lot us hear it," said the Colonel, "an wu will then eco what we eau do." "Well, Colonel, it is simply this, if yo will put tho "rifles" under my orders fe tc -night, and lot me occupy tho deserte post, ? will not only clear up tho myster of tho disappearance of thc aenlrice, ht make the post tenable for tho future." "But how?" said the Colonel, in surprise,. "I guess, Colonel," answered Deatl "you had better lot ma have tho mei and order us off, and I'll toll you tl whole affair afterwards. I promise tbi not one shall receive a ningle sc rat cl that is'if they follow my directions impli illy." "You aro a strango mah," said the Cc opel, "but I think I will let you ha' your way this time. When do you i tend to start?" "In about an hour's time," answer tho elated Death. "Vciy well, I will gi ve necessary ord? HO that you can start when you thu proper. And what is more, if you pc form all that you hare promised ai don't causo me to repent having honor yon, you shall have poor Oaa>pbel . place. Hector Campbell was n brave bul ve head strong young Scotchman, who h occupied tho post of Lieutenant^ at t fort. In a sudden freak of daring volunteered to stand sentry At the fal spot whero three seutries had airca mysteriously disappeared, aud he pa for his rashness with bio life. "Now my lads," said Death, as In abo un hour aftor his conversation with C innis, bo approached tho deserted po at thc bend of a dozen riflemen who b been temporarily pl&ecd under his co maud, "I will tell you what We aro goi to do. . The long and ?mort of tho aflali olmply thin : it's a gang of them cuss - tbicvic' Iroquois that have circumvent and carried off our four men-sh no ti them with their rifles." "'"".To-night aa I wea rv'.urning to t foi t, I suddenly thought L heard i sound of several voices, and creeping my hands and knees towards.tho op got near enough to hear abd see tl about a- dosen Iroquois were. , tb ami thora arranging their p'ans to e prise the fort to-night-in tending to st in upon it by thc point which their cuff ed deviltry had rendered HO easy of ac cess. I only stopped long enotigli to learn this, when I hurried oil'to thc Col onel atid asked him to place you at my disposal ; and here wo are. I did not aav a word to him about what I had learned, being determined that if possible the "rhies" should have tho honor of exter minating the varlets. And now I ask you, are you willing and ready to follow my orders ?" Every man cheerfully answered in the ailirmative; and with quickened ptiUo, und sanguine hopes, thc little company moved lor ward again. Tho post consisted of a long narrow space, bounded on each Hi lo by a rocky shelving hank, while its extreme end was closed in by dark and impenetrable look ing forest?. I ln> bunk on euch side of tho pans was covered thickly with brush and under growth, and among th?se Death now carefully conceal* d his men ; taking care to arrange them so that their lire would cross each other, and bidding them not to {ira until he had given the nlgr.n!, and after they had fired not to stop tu reload, but clubbing their rifles, to jump down and finish tho struggle in that manner. With steudy alacrity each man took up the post ashigued him ; and in another moment the ''pot presented the same lone, still nud solemn appearance it had pre vi us to their arrival. The little company had begun to grow very impatient, and Death himself feared thay '.ind either abandoned the attempt, or else changed their plan of uttack, Wtien suddenly his quick eye detected thc form of one of his crafty foes issue, in a crouch ing position, from the deep shadow which thc lofty trees threw fur up tho pass. "Three, six, nine, twelve, thirteen," counted Death) ns ono after another they emerged, iii singh nie, from tho woou, and with quick, cut-like stealthiness of movement, advanced up the pass, their rifles in trail and their faces and bodies rendered still more hideous and ferocious looking by tba grotesque markings of their war paint. On they carno, swiftly and silently, and all unconscious of the falo that was in store for them. The foremost of the band, whose com manding stature, wolf-teoth collar, and engin tuft, nt ouco proclaimed him as thc chief, had advanced until he was di? redly opposite the bush in which Death wa? hid, when tho lutter, with startling distinction, suddenly imitated thc cry of a night owl, and discharged hi? rifle. Eight of the Indians fell by the volley now poured in upon them, but strange to say one of ibo five that did not fall was thc chief that Death aimed ut. Thia un usual event was owing to the following cause: tho branch of the bush on which ho had atendied his aim in firing had suddenly yielded ut thc moment ho had discharged his piece, rendering harmless his otherwise unerring aim. Uttering au imprecation athis ill luck, Death sprung down the bank with the rest of his companions, ami with ono bound reached the side of tho Iroquois chief. They grappled and both fell heavily to the ground, clasped in n fear ful embrace, and darted glances of savngo hatred at each other beneath their knitted '.Keep od1!" ahouted Death, aa ho saw ono or (wo of bis companions in tho act of stooping down to titbit ?>?m, "Ke? i off! nnd if ho masters mo let him go." Over and over they rolled, writhing and (draining, but seemingly neither obtaining any advantage over tho other. At laat the head of tba Iroquois sudden ly came in contact with thu point of a rock that protruded from tho bank, stun ning him so that ho relcnsed his vise grip of Death's throat ; and tho latter, thus released, npringin lo his feet finished his career by bringing tho heavy breech of his rillo with u.eiigo hammer force down on his bead. Tho remaining four Indians had been likewise despatched ; and the victorious riflemen (none of whom hod received any wound worth mentioning,) now set up such n shout of triumph for their vic tory that the echoes of tho woods rung it for minnie i after. As Col. innis promised, Death waa promoted to tho vacant poat of Lieuten ant ; and now dear render, wo bpg to in form you that our hero and tho uncom promising veternn, Ocucral Morgan, of revolutionary notoriety, were one lind tho samo individual. About a fortnight af ter thia eventful night, .Stanhope's farm became the scene of ai much mirth, good cuting and dancing, os could be possibly disposed of during twenty-four hours, and although we think it will bo almost au perfluous to do so. will add, that the causo of all thia merry making waa tho marriage of the beauteous Hester Stan hope to Lieutenant Henry Morgan. Authentiu Account of (Jen. Caster's Death. The Milwaukio .v'. ntintTs sp; eh! corres pondent at Miles City, MontanaTcrritory, telegraphs n sensational story in the chapo of a statement by Rain-in-tbe-Faco, the Indian chief who killed Cen. Custer in tho memorable Indian fight of Juno, 1S7C. From that day to this there has been a mys tery hanging about thc altair, from the fact that not a mau of Geu. Custer's little band escaped death to tell tho story of their fate, end tho historian hus no other source form which to till the page than tho horrible imagination which clustered around the dead and mutilated bodies of tho gallant commander and his troops, heightened by thc memories of the smouldering ruins of tho Indian village, to capture which they paid the penalty of their recklessness with their lives. While tho correspondent was in the merchandising house of Mr. J. J. Graham at Fort Keogh, three Indian chiefs, Rain iu-tho-Fnce, Tw$-Roads and Spotted Eagle, who surrendered to Gen. Miles last spring, came in as their custom, be ing encamped only two miles away, ?>n tho Tongue River, for tho purpose of conversation wilh Mr. William M.Courte nay, Ibo clerk, nud interpreter nf .-ho estabiiinmcnt, in wfiom tho Indiana religiously believe. Mr, Courte nay was reading Whittaker's life of Custer, and in turtling the leaves of the book, ono of the Indians caught sight ofhia own picture, which be imme diately recognised. They then took tho book from Mr. Courtenay and found all , their portraits, but exhibited very little I emotion of pleasure or otherwise until ono of Gen. Custer wns revealed. At this Rain inthe-Faco became greatly excited, going through with all the gyrations of the war-dance, and giv ing the Sioux war-hoop at tho top of his voice. After he had got through with his wlid demonstration, but still exhibit ing tho grenlea*, anger, be struck the picture with his K id, and, with a domo* nine sneer on his h>ce, exclaimed in the Sioux tongue: "I killed him. I mado many holes in him. Ho once took my liberty. I took his life. I am glad I did." On being told by a bystander that Gen.Custer wa?still living, Rain-in tbe-Fnce became very violcut, and hissed between his teeth: "Your tongue is forked," which is tho Sioux figure for "yon lie." Continuing he said ; "I visited his body after tho battle I cut him open. I ate-apart of his liver. I am glad I killed him. He was bad to my people He killed many warriors." It is a superstition among the Sioux that by eating the live;-of a valorous vic tim tho warrior so eating obtains all his prowess. This is tho first authentic ac count of Caster's death ever given. - .Tho raising of horses in tho great Yellowstone Valley of the far West has become an important and profitable business. Some of the herders have from 500 to 1,500 each, and dispose of their three-year old celts at from $50 to $100. The animals feed on grass alone, and the only shelter ?rom tho weather is roughly built sheds. Tho Apportionment lilli. Thin Hill, pained hy the House on the 30111 inst., fixes the Dumber of Represen tative* in Congress al 819. Section 1 provide* : "That from and after March the 3d, 1883, the House of Representatives aimil be composed of 319 members, appor- 5 tinned UK follows: Alabama 8, Arkansas 5, California (i, Colorado 1, Connecticut 4, Delaware I, Florida 2, Georgia 10, Illinois 'JO, Indiana 13, Iowa 10, Knnsus 0, Kentucky ll, louisiana ti, Maine 4, Maryland 6, Massachusetts 12, Michigan II, Minnesota 6, Mississippi 7, Missouri 14, Nebraska 3, Nevada I, New Hamp shire 2, New Jersey 7, New York 33, North Carolina 10, Ohio 21, Oregon 1, Pennsylvania 28, Rhode Island 2, South Carolina 0, Tennessee 10, Texas ii, Ver mont 2, Virginia 10, West Virginia 4, Winconsin 8. Th . present membership is 2'J3. ?Some of our exchanges are olready deploring the increase of the House by 20 mem bers, which it is gravely contended will so enlarge the chamber a? to make "con fusion worw confounded." This is a striking illustration of how printer's ink disturbs our common sense. Why docs not every one at all familiar with assemblies or large public bodies know that the interjection of 20 members into a house of 203 would not be appre ciable to the eye or eur of the most accustomed observers? Again, wo can not nee why a house of ?OO members is not just as easll) managed under tho rules necessary to preserve order in un assembly of 250 men as 2f*0 would be. Bo far as other civilized ?States tire con- ? cerned, they seem lo get along quite as | well as we do in their legislativo bodies | "with much larger numbers. The Hr it ?-?I i House of I/ords consists of j 479 members; tho House of Commons j of 058. Thc French assembly has over 700 members, and tho German Reich stag consisted in 1873 of 382 members. Tho Reichstag is elected by universal direct suffrage and by ballot at tho aver age rate of mic deputy for every 100,000 Inhabitants. This body is very much in the nature of our Congress, coming from thc several Sw'tea of Germany. It is hard to see wi' j tho people of freo Amer ica should not have a representation coming ns near to the people ns prevails in thc German Empire. If wo had tho same representation that the people of the German States have, the representa tion in Congress wonld be nome 500. If wo had a proportionate representation to thc British House of Commons, wo would hove one in about 50,000 inhabitants, or 1,000 ni em bern of Congre?; and with tho representation of tho French pecpia, about thc same membership of 1,000, or rather more. A house of a thousand in order can bc readily addressed, and one of 203 in confusion is as utterly beyond reach ?ts if it wero .' OOO. Thc true matter of representation is ibo sufficient proximity of tho represen tative to bis constituency as to make him familiar with thc people and their moro immediate wants and wishes. With tho rate of representation of the German Itcichstug. South Carolina would have some 10 representatives in Congress, and the leen! interest* be much i better represented than it cnn bo now. Ono representative to every 100.000 inhabitants, if the people arc to have reprcseutttives of their own, seems to us not unreasonable; and finding this rate of representation recognized by a great practical Empire like Germany, seems to go very fur in justifying an increased, rather than a diminished representation in Congress. Hut somebody gets a notion in bis head and then it gets into a newspaper, and is mechanically handed around from ono to the other, without tho exer cise of ?ny brrin at all, until it turns out to be a foolish or unnecessary abridg ment of pp->* Inr'rights put forward in the name of tho people.- Cbtumbia Reg* tater. Agricultural Notes. - Nebraska's importation of sheep last year was about two hundred thou ?sand. - There were 1,223 failures among British farmers lust vear, 208 leas than in 1871). - According to Rrathtreet'a, the amount of lumber manufactured in tho leading Michigan district? during tho year 18S0 was 3,938,187,227 feet, un increase of 651,610,514 feet over the pro- 1 dlictiou of 1879. More than one-third ut tho demand, or about 6,000,000,000 feet was supplied by Michigan, Wi ??cou sin und Minnesota - Groat Britain and tho United Stales are reported tn consume one-third nf tho world's production of sugar. Great Britain consumes seventy-four pounds pr r capita, and the United States forty two-pounds per capita, and Russia only seven pounds per capita. Ninetv per cent, of the sugar used in tho United States is imported from' nbroad, and it forms one-Hcventh of all our imports. - Tho manufactures of agricultural implements have doubled in tue United states during the last ton years. In 1850 this industry gavo employment to 5,361 hands. This vear it gives employ ment to 40,680. O?io lends off. employ ment 10,248 people in this branch of manufacture. Illinois follows closely with 8,000. New York ner" ..ith 7,237, and then Pennsylvania employing a few over 3,000. Twenty years ago all this class of manufacturo was confined to New York and the New England Slates. - The number of eggs consumed in this country ia enormous, and has been rapidly increasing for a quarter of a century. As many ns 10,000,000 have been shipped to New York annually from Montreal alone, and it is computed that moro than thrice that number come East from Ohio nnd the interior States. Eggs aro reported as very scarce and dear thia winter iu Great Britain, where some 409,000,000, valued ni near ?5,000 000, axe annually imported, mainly from tho Continent. It has been estimated that the consumption in tho United 8tate.i reaches moro than 1,000,000,000 every year, - Last year 3,759,743 gallons of wino and 188,764 gallons of brandy wero received at San Francisco from the inte rior cf California, against 3,364,607 gal lons: if'/rina ?nd 93,506 gallons of brandy In 1879.
