... SEIG'E OF THE >EZ PERCES. i Incidents of the Seise of the Indiana as Described by aa Officer Held as a Hostage- | Traits of the Nez Perces and the Cheyenne*. A correspondent of the New York, Herald,, who was with General Miles' command during the battle of the Big Pan Mountain and the subsequent surrender of Chief Joseph, gives some interesting incidents of the seige. He says : | Among the commanders of companies is j Lieutenant Lovell A. Jerome, son of Lawrence Jerome, of New York City, who distinguished himself in the action in a manner which has been partially described to you. His distinguishing feat during the battle, one that entitles him to the highest credit as an officer, was the saving of the Seventh Cavalry from absolute annihilation. While the Indians, after Captain Hale's death, were pouring a deadly hurricane of lead upon the Seventh's" battalion, Lieutenant Trv??, \ iv> /\ sfcsxwv-t? M An A Ar\ AAC if A PI .1A tne troops to pusn iorwaru ineir mirencnmects that night in order to get nearer and nearer to the enemy. When Lieutenant Jerome's line was within forty or fifty yards from that of the Nez Perces it was so arranged between the soldiers and the Indians that either side being ; over-fatigued from lying at full length in ; the rifle pits might, by showing a white flag, arrest the firing and arise and | 1 stretch their limb? and walk to and fro j within full -sight of each other at that: ' deadly distance. Such a truce with 1 white men on both sides has been fre- ;1 quent in American warfare ; never be- j fore had American soldiers such confidence in Indian magnanimity as they ' were justified in exhibiting on this oc- 1 / casion. * 44 Why," said Lieutenant Jerome, 44 those Indians are the bravest men on ! i this continent. There, in the first night, < when our men lay wounded after the i i charge when we lost so many, they ; I wouldn't kill a wounded man. All they wanted was his gun and his cartridge ! f belt. Several times the wounded would ] rise up in a sitting posture ancLstretch j ] themselves. Tiie Nez Perces never fired } at them ; yet if one of our men in the I ( ? trenches showed his head, from five to j ten bullets came whizzing at it on the instant. 1 " Once," said Lieutenant Jerome, i 4 4 when General Miles was riding along the line, an Indian jumped up and ! raised his revolver at him and shouted, 44 4 We fight; we do, General, you bet!'" Throughout the aetion there does not (according to the testimony of all the ; officers of Captain Tyler's command, in- J eluding Captain Tyler himself, who were assembled in my tent to-night) ap-; pear to have been a single instance of mean or unheroic conduct on the part of | these manly Ne? Perces. They fought i merrily?even as merrily as they lived? and died oheerily, with hardly a groan i and never a complaint. So extraordinary ; a balance of the faculties, so complete j an indifferenoe to fate, such an apparent delight in mortal danger, have seldom been associated, at least in the annals of , red men, with an absolute and knightly j chivalry towards their foes. j The twenty or more Cheyenne scouts who headed General Miles' advance did I not emulate this chivalry, but rivalled ; the bravery of the Nefc Perces. The Cheyennes fought in sheer love of fight- 1 ing ; from the moment Joseph's village t w is discovered they doffed their super- i c fluous wear, donned their war paint and i rnshed hi-hi-inflr to the frav. Lieutenant i Jerome describes their feats as marvels 1 of hardihood and daring. "Whenever, ; e daring the four days of the engagement, i the fire slackened they fell to the rear j e and there took to comparative vaga- J bondage, but when the fnsilade of maga-! i zine rifles rolled around the line they 1 rushed to the front and recklessly ex- t posed themselves. 1 "They fought," says Jerome, "forthe e joy of it. At one time four of them i formed a combination queerer than any j s Wall street combination I ever heard of. i c Three of them burrowed in a pit and put c up * a corner' on Joseph's whole band, j The fourth one?the man who did the 1 most to win the corner?then used to jump up and leap on to his horse, and 1 ride ont to draw the Nez Perces fire, e This bravado would, of course, oblige c the Nez Perces who fired at him to ex- t pose their heads above the edges of their g own trenches, whereupon the rider's j t three companions would lift up aud give \ them fits." jc : s A Woman's Fight With a Bear. ? One afternoon, in the latter part of last month, says the Winnipeg Free Press, the wife of W. G. Livingstone, of the Boyne, noticed four young bears in the wheat field. Mr. Livingstone being absent at the time, she at once proceeur^t to drive the intruders off, when one took to a tree on the bank of the - river, about one hundred yards from the house, and the other three took to their heels and disappeared, so far as this ,1 story is concerned. Mrs. Livingstonej stationed herself under the tree, while her little daughter ran to the house and bi ought a double-barreled gun. Both ^ barrels were discharged at the bear, : ? which, while it was seriously wounded, t was still able to make attempts to come ? down the tree. Ammunition having t given out, Mrs. Livingstone armed her- s self with an ax-handle, aud with that i weapon successfully resisted the en-; 1 deavors of bruin to escape, whacking ? the brute on the paws every time he } came in reach. The tree was guarded a till evening, when Mr. Livingstone re- j f turned home with his rifle. Mrs. Liv- [ 1 iugstone then took the weapon, fired, c Rud the p.nimal fell dead at her feet, e The bear weighed 120 pounds, dressed, c (ic1uu.c7, uuiuiu^ up uu kud uyp/olko oiuc | of the cut, bank, or ravine, assailed the savages with a deadly fusilade which continued for two or three minutes, drove them into their pits, and allowed the remnants of the Seventh Cavalry to ; withdraw. Lieutenant Jerome went into the Nez Forces camp as a hostage while Joseph was with Miles. The exchange is thus , described in the Lieutenant's own words: " During the day General Miles decided to surrender Joseph. So he was brought down under cover of a white flag to a space half way between the Nez Perces position and our owd. The General himself went with Joseph and was accompanied by one of his staff officers. There were three Indians along with me. I I suppose that was an interesting position. With the suspicion of treachery on both sides, thirteen of our men lay in their trenches scarcely forty rods off, i with the rifles held at a dead rest on Joseph and my three Indian guards. More than twenty Indians had an equally sure sight over their Winchester's and Henry's straight at General Miles and me. I have since learned that Miles' staff officer held a cocked revolver in his bosom ready to fix Joseph if I should be harmed. The transfer passed without trouble, and I was restored to the command of my company." Lieutenant Jerome gives several vivacious incidents of the battle. From the first General Miles had ordered all a ? ? * * n ii _ v . a FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD. How to l*?e tp Stale Bread. Here are five ways of using up the stale 1 bread to advantage: Shave off the parts i of crust which have been browned in the | baking ; soak for an hour in cold water, ' then squeeze all the cold water out of it, and ada it to your flour in your breadmixing. It will make over nicely into bread, keeping it moist aDd palatable a day or two longer than when flour alone is used. One-half soaked bread to onehalf flcur is a good proportion. Or soak in c%ld water, then squeeze dry, and lay in a shallow pan about two inches deep ; pour over this a custard made in the following way, and bake until well browned in a hot oven : Three eggs beaten up with a small teacup of sugar and a quart of milk and a very little salt ; make a sauce of one tablespoonful of butter, one of flour and two of sugar, stirred together, over which pour a pint of boiling water; set on the stove where it will simmer without burning ; add flavoring extract of any kind, and a little nutmeg. | A little orange peel boiled in it gives a very nice flavor. In dishing up, cut it in squares, "and remove to dishes, top ' side up with care. The fashion some have of tumbling it out higgledv-1 piggledv, makes any pudding look uninviting ; and always have the sauce pretty hot?lukewarm sauce is nauceous. Another excellent bread pudding, much ! relished by children, hot or cold, which " x - * ! we can, on account 01 cueupuebo, " Hard Times Pudding," is this : Soak your bread in as little cold water as will 1 soak it thoroughly ; then beat it up, ' water and all, and add flour enough to j make it the consistency of apple-sauce ; j add sugar, cinnamon, a little nutmeg, ' allspice, which must predominate, and some well-washed currants, also a little butter melted and stirred in. If it is baker's bread, scald a little salaratus, aud stir in thoroughly, but if it is home- | made bread, add baking powder to your flour, at the rate of two teaspoonfuls to , a quart of pudding. Bake in shallow pans; cut in squares when serving; turn j over and put on each a small piece of i butthr, and dust plentifully with pow- j dered sugar. Thi6 requires a little care ; in making, but is universally liked, and ; very wholesome and economical, as no i eggs or cream are required. You can make a nice breakfast dish of ! your stale slices as follows: Make a J batter of one pint of milk, two eggs, j two tablespoonsful of flour, and a little salt; soak the bread for a few minutes I in this batter, and fry in hot lard on j both sides, till nicely browned. Eat j with syrup and butter, same as pancakes. Or make the stale bread into bread fritters as follows: Soak the bread over eight in cold water ; add flour enough to j make a thick batter; three or four i beaten eggs, a little salt, a little scalded i aalaratus if it is baker's^bread, or baking ' powder if it is home-made bread (as j baker's bread is always more or less! sour), and bake on a hot griddle, in good ; jweet lard. Heaaehold Hints. To Curb Wakefulness?Wrap cloths ' Jipped in cold water around the wrist; md sometimes lay a wet cloth on the top 3f the*head. To Wash White Silk Stockings.? ! One tablespoonful of lemon juice to a j juart of tepid water; wash thoroughly, ising no soap ; dry quickly in the shade; I the fleah tint will be preserved. For Cough and Consumption.?Melt jome resin at night on going to bed and let the smoke from it till the room. In-: baling the smoke heals the inflammation, md sleep is often produced when one )ould not sleep before for much coughng. Persevere until a cure is effected. V change for the better should be felt vithin a week. To Make and Keep Soup Stock.? rake a leg or shin of beef, put it to boil, n a crallrm nf wnter?if verv larce in a I gallon and a half ; boil it steadily, but lot fast until all the strength is boiled Torn the meat; then strain it ambput it & cool, when the fat must be skimmed iff and the jelly can be taken out in imall portions when soup is needed, and j he vegetables added or whatever is' iked for Variety,Jrat if the vegetables j ire boiled with the stock it is apt to become sour by keeping. Should the itock be wanted brown it is well to fry loine of the meat before boiling. To Wash Red Flannel.?Make a ; varm suds; use very little soap ; (it i lardens the flannel;) add a teaspoonful' >f pulverized borax to every pail of ; vater ; rub on the board, or, if possible, i inly with.the hands ; rinse in one plain < varm water ; wring or press very dry ; | hake well before hanging in a shady i ilaee to dry. Without Food for Five Days. William Beach, an extensive sheepj md land owner from Los Angeles I sounty Cal., had occasion to cross the j nountains a little north of that place n search of a new camp of one of his ; lauds of sheep, which had managed to , turvive the drouth this season by rang-: ng along the roughest and highest j lummits of the Sierras. He took! Smith 8 saw-mill trail, camped at thej nills, and from thence expected to reach ! lis destination in a day's ride?not j hinking it necessary to overload his ; lorse with anything like food. But in ipite of his mountain experience he j nissed the trail, made by a single mule, j ind, after searching in vain for three lays, was obliged to turn back. He hid it one point fired off all the loads of his >istol as a signal for aid when near what le took to be the camp. In this plight -weary, sore-footed, strength slowly rat surely failing, with no nourishment ! ?xcept water at long intervals, eyes limnied with ever straining, and the : irain nearly crazed with the everlasting ; olitude?no one but those who have ; >een there can imagine the desperate j will, the indefatigable determination re- j juired when forced to retraoe one's tops over passages where life and limb, ire in imminent peril. But Mr. Beach's acuities proved keen to the end, and, I aking the safest route to Independence, ' \e came back via the Kearsage trail, fear the summit he met a Mexican, rno furnished him with a little cheese md bread. This was his first food for I ive days aad five hours. He had lost lis voice, and his stomach was so weak hat it was only after eating a large >iece of salt he was able to take proper j lourishment. ???, | One Flash.

Washinoton, Oct. 29.?The following was issued this afternoon: By the President of the Uriittd State* of America: A PROCLAMATION. The completed circle of summer and winter, seed-time and harvest, has brought to us the accustomed season at which a religious people celebrates with praise and thanksgiving the enduring mercy of Almighty God. This devout and public confession of the constant dependence of man upon the Divine Father for all good gifts of life and health and peace and happiness, so early in our history made the habit of our people, nuds in the survey of the past year new grounds for its joyful and grateful manifestation. In all blessings which depend upon benignant seasons this has indeed been a memorable year. Over the wide territory of our country, with all its diversity of soil and climate and products, the earth has*yielded a bouutiful return to the labor of the husbandman. The health of the people has been blighted by no prevalent or wide-spread diseases. Xo great disasters of shipwreck upou our coasts, or to our commerce on the seas have brought loss and hardship to merchants or mariners, and clouded the happiness of the community with sympathetic sorrow. In all that concerns our strength and peace and greatness as a nation ; -11 aL-A x T A 1 J ;x in ail iiitti luuuucB tuu ['eruittJiuuiH* anu yecuruv of our government and tho beneficent institution* on which it rests; in all that affects the character and dispositions of our people, and tests our capacity to enjoy and uphold the equal and free condition of society, now permanent and universal throughout the land, the experience of the last year is conspicuously marked by the protecting providence of God", and is fnll of promise and nope for the coming generations. Under a sense of these infinite obligations to the Great Ruler of times and seasons and events, let us humbly ascribe it to our own faults and frailties, if, in any degree, that perfect concord and happiness, peace and justice, which such great mercies should diffuse through the hearts aud lives of our people do not altogether and always and everywhere prevail. Let us, with one "spirit and with one voice, lift up praise and thanksgiving to God for his manifold goodness to our land and his manifest care for our nation. Now, therefore. I, Rutherford B. Hayes, President of the United States, do apj>oint Thursday, tho 29th day of November next, as a day of national thanksgiving and prayer, and I earnestly recommend that, withdrawing themselves from secular oaresand labors, the people of the United States do meet together on that day in their respective places of worship, there to give thanks and praise to Almighty God for His mercies, and to devoutly beeeech"their continuance. In witness whereof I have hereunto set !ny hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the City of Washington this twentyninth day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred aud [l. s.]seventy-seven, and of the Independence of the United States the one hundred and second. ' R. B. Hate*. By the President: William M. Evabts, Secretary of State. Does It Hnrt to be Hanged ? A correspondent writes to a St. Louis paper in the following strain : Recently you repeated, in an article headed " Reform in Capital Punishment," what you have frequently said before, viz: " The neck is not broken, and the victim perishes by the long and painful process of strangulation." The experience of John Burns, an old and heavy citizen of this county, leads me to believe that strangulation by hanging, like strangulation by drowning, is not a very painful process after alL Some time* during the war some ruffians who desired to be thought bushwhackers came upon Mr. Burns at his house, intending to compel him to give up some money that he was supposed to have. Burns had none, and told them so. They did not believe him; and their next move was to cut a cord out of a bedstead, tie one end around Burns's neck,throw the other over a joist overhead, and pull him up till his feet were clear of the floor. This they did four times, questioning him between whiles. Burns says that he lost consciousness every time as soon as his feet left the floor;* that he felt no pain at any time ; that after the second hoist he meant to sham continued insensibility when they let him drop again (to lower him they let go the rope and he fell on the*floor), but it was beyond his power. His first consciousness was that he had raised his body to a sitting position, whieli put shamming out of the question. He experienced no pain when the rope tightened nor while he was suspended, nor after he was released, except the soreness caused on the skin by the chafing of t> e rope. Mr. Burns is a man of truth, and there i3 no reason to doubt his statements. His weight was sufficient to tighten the rope well, being about 200 pounds.

I ' i Sinclair'* "Common Hfmt" Chairs and Hookers. f The iutorior of New York State contains many manufacturing establishment* that jn size and quality of work turned out are inferior to none-iu any part of the country. One of the most noteworthy of such manufactories is the Union Chan- Works of F. A. Sinclair, at i Mottville, Onondaga county, New York. This 1 ' chair factory is one of the largest in tho interior of the State, and is devoted to the manufacture of a ?{>cciality appropriately called " Comniou Sense Cbaird." Mr. Sinclair is a practical chair maker, and has had an experience of thirty years in the manufacture of > chairs. Having been engaged in the business for so long a period, it is not perhaps to be wondered at that he has succeeded in prodaoi ing a chair of unusual excellence. In the j chairs made by him hard wood is used?principally maple and white elm?which is carej fully selected, contains no defects and is thoroughly seasoned. In fact everything I abont the chair is made of the best material, 1 - - ?J j? ?_ a:_ I by experienced woramep, ana unuer air. omclair's personal supervision. And such i reputation for superiority of make havo tbey obtainod that Mr. Sinclair is compelled to caution buyers to seo that his name is stamped upon the chair before buying, in order to avoid ; purchasing a counterfeited and inferior article, i Yet, with creditablo frankness, he does not claim that his chairs are the cheapest in the l market, but claims, with emphasis, that they are the l>est made. A glance at Mr. Sinclair's illustrated price j : list shows the substantial character of the . : chairs and rockers made at his factory. The ! list embraces chairs large and small, from a child's rocker up to a large, substantial-look. ing rocker called " Everybody's Favorite," which looks as though it wonld afford "rest ; for the weary " any number of years. Cow- j fort, convenience and strength seom to be the prevailing characteristics of these chairs, and it is therefore not to be wondered at that they j have received strong expressions of approval from the press and public. Salutary Stimulation. When vital action is sluggish, a stimulant, t : provided it be pure and properly medicated, 1 ; is tho most reliable agent for imparting the ; necessary impetus to the semi-dormant or-1 ' gans, accelerating the languid circulation and averting the maladies to which functional inactivity gives rise. Physicians who have emI ployed' Hostetter's Stomach Bitters in thjir ' practice pronounce it the most salutary tonic stimulant they have ever used, and especially | commend it as a remedy for torpidity of the ! bowel#, liver, stomach and kidneys, and as j a resuscitant of vital energy. The medicinal i value of the Bitters is due to the fact that ! with their basis of nure old rye are combined, , in perfect chemical narmony, the best restorai tive and life sustaining elements known to ; medical botany. The Bitters never deteriorate ! in the most unfavorable climates. The I.ntfMt Fashion for Ladlti.
