A SIOUX GRATITUDE.
THE STORY OF A CAVALRY OFFICER.
BY n. D. SMITH,
Captain U. S. Bcvenue Service.
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.

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.

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.
? Seventy millions of people in Eu?
rope, it is said, wear wooden ?iioe?.
? Tbe Dajakese, of Borneo, never bury
a dead member of their tribe until a slave
can be procured, who is beheaded at tho
interment or cremation, to attend the
deceased in tbe next world.
? There is one place in France in which
gravestones and funeral epitaphs are un?
known. This is tbe village of Bouzeias
in the Maritime Alps. The dead are not
buried, but thrown in a bonohouse.
? A Chinaman buys his coffin often
many years before his death and keeps it
in his house as a most valuable article of
furniture. The most cherished present a
son can make to his father is a handsome
coffin.

Dear Sir:?I have been using your

do what you claim for it. I used ten cents
worth of tho strongest chewing tobacco a day,
and Irom one to five cigars; or I would smoka
from ten to forty pipes of tobacco. Have chewed
and smoked /or twenty-five years, and two packages
of your Tablet* cured me so I have no desire for it.
