The Siory of an Attack upon an Indian Yilhojc as told by General Ouster, -hr in ... Olio of the most interesting chap ters in Ouster's"Lite on the Plains'? is that which deals with his attack on the Indian villager on the Whcliiln; He says : Immediately in rear of iny horse came the hand, all mounted, and each with Iiis instrument ready to begin playing Ike moment their leader, who rode tit their head, and who kept Iiis cornet to his lips, should receive the signal. I bad previously told him to play "Garry Owen" as the opening piece. We had approached near enough to the village now to plainly catch a view here and (here of the tall, white lodges as they stood in irregular order among the trees. From the openings at t he top of SovVc of them we could perceive Hunt columns of smoke ascending, the r>ccupants no doubt haying kept up their feeble (ires during the entire night. Wo liad approached s\> near the village that from the dead silence which reigned I fei red I lie lodges were deserted, '-the Indians having flexi before we.adVaWed. f was about to turn in myqaddle and direct the signal for atfifck to he given?still aiixb us where'theotht r detachments were?when a single, rille shot rang sharp and clear on the far side of the village from where we were. (Quickly Minting- tn the Iwil'd leader I dint-ted him to give us "Garry Owen." At iltiec the ivdlitkihg notes o( that, fivmi c<l thrill through the valleys and in a moment were re echoed buck from the opposite sides by the bind ami con tinued cheers of'ho men of th?oilier ?detachments, who, true Lu iheirorders, wer?? there and in readi'vess to pounce, upfm ^'tne Tiidinns the moment the attack begun. In lhiJ manner the I battle of the Wachita commence I. ; The bugles - innded (lie -d> rge, :ind I ihn eiitire command dashed rapidly i into the village. The Indians wore caught napping; hut, realizing at once the dangers of their situation, they overcame their surprise, and in an instant sci/.ed their rides, bows ami arrows and sprung behind the nearest trees, while s..mc leaped into the stream, nearly waist deep, and, using the bank as a rille pit, begun a vigor ous and determined defence. Mingled with the exultant, cheers of my men could be heard the defiant war Whoop of the warriors, who from the! first fought with a desperation and courage which no race of men could surpass. Major lien teen, in lending the attack of his squardron through the limber below the village, encountered an Indian boy scarcely fourteen yours of age; he was well mounted, and was endeavoring to make his way through the lines. This boy rode holdy toward the major, seeming to invite a. contest, Iiis youthful bearing, and not being looked upon as a combatant, induced Major Ih-ntccii to endeavor to save liim by making "peace signs" to him ami obtaining his surrender, when ho could be placed in a position of safety until the battle was terminated; but the young savage desired and would accept no stich friendly concessions. ITc regarded himself as a warrior and the son of a warrior, and as such pro posed to do a warrior's part. With revolver in had he dashed at the major, who still could not regard him ns anything but a harmless lad. Leveling his weapon as ho rode, he fired, but cither from excitement or the changing positions of both parties, his aim was defective and the shot whistled harmlessly by Major Ben teen's head. Another followed in quick succession, but with no better etfect. All this time the tluaky little chieftain boldly advanced, to lessen tho distance between himself aud his adversary. A third bullet was sped on its errand, and this time to some purpose, as it passed through the neck of the major's hor.se, closo to the shoulder. Making a final but in eil'cctual appeal to him to surrender, and seeing him still preparing to fire again, tho major Was forced in self defense to level hia revolver and dis patch him, although na ho did so it was with admiration for the plucky spirit exhibited by the lad, and regl et often expressed that no other course under tho circumstances was left him. Attached to the naddlcbow of the young Indian hung a benuti fully wrought pair of small moccasins, elaborately ornamented with bead*. One party of troopers came upon a squaw endeavoring to make her escape, leading by the baud a little white boy, a prisoner in the hands of the Indians, and who doubtless had been captured by some of their war parlies during a raid upon the nettle men to, Who or where his parents were, or whether elill alive or murder ed by the Indians, will never be known, as the squaw, finding herself ami prisoner about to be surrounded by troops and her escape cut off, de termined with savage malignity that the triumph of the latter should not embrace the rescue of the wdiite boy. Casting her eyes quickly in all direc tions to convince herself that escape was impossible, she drew from beneath her blanket a huge knife and plunged it into the almost naked body of her captive The next moment retribu tive justice reached her in the shape of a well directed bullet from one of the troopers' carbiues. Before the men could reach them life was ex tinct in the bodies of both the squaw and tier unknown captive. The desperation with which the Indians fought may be inferred front the following:_ ?ScvciiteoM warriors had justed themselves in a depression in ilie ground, which enabled them to protect their bodies completely front the fire of our men, atid it was only when the Indians raised their heads to fire that the troopers could' aim with at y prospect of success. All efforts to drive the warriors from this point proved abortive and resulted in severe Io.ss to our side. They were only vanquished at. last by our men securing positions Under cover and picking them otr by sharpshooting as they exposed themselves to get a shot at the iroojtcrs. Finally the bust one was dispatched in this manner. In a deep ravine near the suburbs of the village the dead bodies of thirty-eight warriors were reported after the light terminated. Adventures ot Three Tramps. Ail Ohl Farmer and hU Wife Gagged and 111 Treated? Ticeuty Tubs of Jlutter and a Horse and Wogau Stolen?Recovery of the Properly. Ja red Wells and his wife, old people, live on a farm three miles from Tort Uiekson, Pa., on the main road. Their son, John Wells, lives a mile further on. During the day three men, decently dressed, stopped at the farm and asked for .something to eat. Mrs. Wells gave them a good dinner. Tho men were good talkers, and as they ate obtained of the old lady the information that she and her hushand lived alone; that they made and shipped quite an amount of butter from their farm, and that there was then forty tubs in the cellar to bo sent away next day. The men went on their way after finishing their meal. .About ten o'clock at night old Mr. Wells was awakened by a loud knock at the front door. He got up and asked: "Who is there ?" Some one replied : "John." Tho old farmer, supposing it was his son, who was on his way home from tho village, opened the door. Three men instantly rushed into tho room, and he was knocked down, bound and gagged before he could say a word. Airs. Wells was also securod in tho satno manner. The men then ransacked tho house from garret to cellar. From ihc lat let place Mr. and Mrs, Wells could hear them rolling tubs of butter up tho steps outside Whon they had secured what plunder they could the men shut and locked tho door of the house and left without saying .1 word to the helpless old couple. Shortly afterward 4? .wagon drove up to the door. Intoi; this the farmer and hia wife could bjear them loading the but ter, and in! a frw minutes it rumbled oil" down tlijb road. About ten o'clock ncrtt mornVng John AVells, the son, drove lip {to the old people's house to load up thte butter that was ready for shipmentA'He was compelled to burst open tlup.\J door to get in the house, where lift found his father and mother lying 01/r the floor as they had been left by _ibje thieves, lie removed their bonds at|d gags ns soon as possible, but tbey^ -were so ill from their long Buttering |(hnt it was nouie time before they coi^fd give any explanation pi their condition, It was then discover ed that tihe thieves bad secured 275 in money, .and had taken the twenty tubs off butter. They had driven away w?nh these in aone horse wagon. Whilc*j*hcsc discoveries Were being madcj S\falter Jackson, a fanner, living j\ mile and a half back in the lulls, throve up and sniil that his bn.ru had been 'entered the night before and robbed of a vaiunble young horse, togotlipr with harness ami a light spnngr wagon. It was plain that the horseythicves were the same that had committed the robbery at Wells'. Parti? were sent as soon as possible to l^ok for traces of tho thieves in all directions. About noon they got a,track of the inc-u in the road leading from the mine road to Millerville. ? They were followed to that place, five miles dis taiitaj and almost the first object seen on /entering the village was Jackson'a horde and wagon standing in front,of a ((avcrn. The butter had been rc TuTffcd front the wagon. The constable entered the tavern, where he learnedT from the landlord that the horse and wagon bad been left tied in front of theVJiousc early in the. forenoon by ilrrcet'men, who entered the barroom, took a drink and walked out, since which time they had not put in an appearance. They were strangers, but their movements had created no suspicion fcdon afterward Wells learned that a groccryman had that morning purchased a number of tubs of butter. These proved to be the twenty tubs stolen from the old far ther. The storekeeper said that a man had driven up to his store about eight o'clock in the morning with the but tcr. lie said that he lived back of the mine road, and that he had made a trade with old Mr. Wells of some farm implements for the butter, lie wanted to sell it, and Crazier bought the lot, paying the stranger, w ho gave his name as Williams, nearly $20.0 in cash. Cro/.icr had also agreed to re turn the tubs as soon as empty to Mr. Wells. lie had not the slightest suspicion that the butter had been stolen, the man's manner was so assur ing ami his statements so circumstant iah The parties had evidently been sihart enough not to offer the horse and wagon for wale anywhere. No trace of them bus been found since they left the tavern. Mistaken Identity. A KkmaliKAiiLK Cask in Illinois. The Chicago Tnbum has the follow ing story of a case of mistaken identi ty : A man was run over and killed at Evauston by an incoming railroad i train. The corpse was at once identi fied by many persons residing there as that of Josinn IJill, a gardhcr, who formerly resided in the village. Amid great sorrow word was sent to his family residence, and they immediate ly went out to care for the body of the unfortunate head of the family. The wife wept, and in her almost in consolablo grief frantically caressed tho dead one. The inquest was held, and thcro was no lack of evidence concerning the man's identity; in fact, it was never questioned. At the ex penso of the fnmil) , the remains were I inclosed in a very fine coffin, and on tho day appointed for tho funeral, tho body was borno to the grave amid the lamentationa of a large circle of friends and acquaintances. As if to complete this whole story of deception, the remains were buried in a family lot in Kos seh ill, owned by the brother of the deceased. That apparently was the end of Josiuh Hill on this earth. On the jury at the inquest was Deputy Sheriff Kearney, who, among others present at the time, knew Hill very well, anil ?w?re lo I he identity. On the day of the funeral he visited Winnetka ow official busi ncss, and was almost frightened out of his senses by seeing-the veritable Ulli at work in a garden. Hailing him, he conjured him by nil that was good und holy to Iiis ghostly residence, and to be wander ingaround :vghostly gardener. IIii! thought the man was crazy at fust, and upon listening to a subsequent explanation concluded that- Iiis sur mi.-e vVris correct, and all the way to town he regretted the untimely fate of his friend's brain. Jbtt judge of Iii- surprise and astonishment, upon entering his own home, to sc2 Iiis wife scream out and limit ho fore what she took to he an,apparition. She had never (doubted thok jd^vitityj .of . tho dead man, and her hu^lKind had loll licr only n few days before to do some work in Winnetka, hence site could hot have forgotten any single purlieu lar oi*his appearance. Indeed, it was some time before she could be con vinced that her husband was still alive, and not in the cold grave to which she had on the previous day consigned him. .She insisted with redoubled vigor that she had cxaiuin cd the dead man, and,fuUy identified him in every particular a.s her bus baud, even to a shortness of one of his limbs, and its similarity in size, looks and make. Learning all the facts in the cade, Mr. Hill was ex U?SU?ely, anxious tu view the fellow that looked Y^a him, and .visited the coroner's ofliec to ciicci. the removal of the body. The necessary uv.lcr was given, and the body was exhwm ed and UtA'Cil to the morgue for another inquest. "Tiie Law of Society Goropols You to Fight." Theannexed interview will be en joyed by tliose who can understand it. It is not our province to say where il look place. Let recent events establish that question. Here it is, as it happened between a Catholic a .d his Father confessor : Catholic?Father, I have been grossly iiisultcd; both the law of the the church and the law of the State forbid me from demanding satisfac tion by an appeal to the duel. What am J to do ? Priest?Son, I cannot advise you as to I he law of the State, but as to the law of the church, I answer empha tically, if you have injured the man who you say has insulted you, make reparation, and, if he be a gentleman he will at once relieve you from all difficulty. Catholic?Uitt, fallier, the man has accused tue wrongfully, as 1 think, and I gave the first provocation. 1 'riest--Jf you arc right, maintain your ground, Catholic?I think ram righl; he thinks 1 a hi wrong. V> ?th arc equal ly sincere.?L cannot retract, he will not withdraw. What, am I to do ? 11 I do nothing, I will be branded as a poltroon and a coward. If I bring on a.street light, one or both in ay be killed, and it amounts to the same thing. Certainly the dud is the most respectable way. L*rtest?My son, you are in a very difficult position. Von cannot both be right, and if you cannot determine who is to makc^he amend, you must choose between your life and your hon? r. Catholic?So you advise me to light a duel? I - have always sup posed that to kill one in a duel is mil rder. Priest?No, iny son. "thou shall do no murder," is one of tho ten com man (Intents. The church con demns the ?Ittel and so does war and all sin. Hut suppose an enemy al tem pis to take your life, is it a sin to kill him, or must yon let him kill you? So with jour honor, that is dearer than lifo, lbr without tbe for mer the latter is a burden.* Catholic?Do you advise mo to fight a <bi2l? Priest?t will not say; that. But I do say that no (JhristiiWV geotleman is called on to yield his lifo to tho murderer, mid I add to preserve his honor is a higher duty. Now my son the duel is an ancient institution. Church men have fought theni. It; has done much good; but, like all other laws of society, has been much" abused, ami should hot be lightly re sorted to. When the "trial by com bat" is absolutely necessary, I see no way lo avoid it and preserve society. 1 know no law of the church tliat condemns it. A court of honor may prescribe terms, but nothing short will do. . jj Catholic?Suppose I kill my ad- . versa ry, or ho kills me? Priest?If you die in a just eausc, having received absolution, you know what the church tenches, just as if 1 you had hceii killed in battle Ifyoo < hill yotir man, it is the same as if you , had killed him in battle. The duel . is the battle of two, the war is the battle of many. In the former, tho law of society compels you to fight. In Lite latter' I he law of the land compels you to light. Be sure you arc right, anil if you arc, your father confessor will confess and absolve you. ? m ? -? A Sad Story.?An unhappy mother was found by a funeral party at Greenwood comctcy, Brooklyn, lying with her four little children huddled about her, on the grave of her husband. They were all quietly dying there of starvation amid the costly monuments reared by civilized opulence. The poor creatures had I been turnet out. of 'heir apartments in New York, and they found no room left, for them anywhere among ihe living in the metropolis of the great republic. Wc chrohre\ed buk T the other day the appalling fact that in London nearly fifty human beinga annually die of absolute starvation, i:i spite of all the miracles which steam and electricity have wrought to better human life since Wordsworth wrote his uti forges table lines: ''Homeless near a thousand homed I stood, And near a thousand tables pined and want* od loud." This miserable story of the day in New York, following upon half a dozen others of the same sort during the present summer, is a terrible and sardonic commentary upon our own proud centennial boasts of tho superiority of our own social and political systems to thoao of the old world, A Liquor Cure.?The following is the well known recipe used for ear ingintoxicated persons: Sulphatocf iron, fivo grains; magnesia, ten gains; peppermint water, eleven drachma; spirit of nutmeg, one drachm. To be taken twice a day. This preparation act s as a tonic and stimulant, and so partially supplies the place of accus touted liquor, and prevents theabso lute physical and moral prostration which follows a sudden breaking off from the use of stimulating drinks. ? ~ ???. - ? 4??mm* loss ks of the RlCE planters. ?The Georgetown Times say3: We are informed that tho rice planters on South San tec have suffered fearful losses from the recent flood.?There sue GOO laborers on this river thrown out of employment, and are clamo rous for work and subsistence Some planters have abandoned their crops entirely, while others will not realise a third or fourth of a crop.
