In the account it wae stated that Mrs Livingstone, mother of the Lieutenant, was searching for her aon’a child. Her search will be in vain, for it died a short time after the death of ita mother, and its little aarooghagot is placed on a smaller and shorter system of raised poles beside that of Pauline. Lieut Livingstone was not present at the intombment of his bride, and was not heard of by the garrison for a long time afterward. Later ranees state positively that he is dead, and it ia said he ended his rather romantic life on a voyage to Europe. ram rAMMtmjrt mimed mae, “ I’m kinder lookin’ around tin market for a hired man,” ha exclaimed as he stopped at one of tin stands and nibbled at an onion. “I kinder nand one, but put I kinder hop* I shan’t h* abis to find him,” “How'ii that?"

Some of the Sifttn had lately been preying on tite garrison and had stolon their horaea. Spotted Tail's men were hostile to them, and lookei eagerly for the vengeance which they knew their wliite friends would visit on the Sioux. A little band of soldiers, in which wm included Lieut, Livingstone, started out, accompanied by two Indian guides from Spotted Tail’s band. The pArty traveled all night through a most romantic country; tha scenery had a .sublime and rugged grandeur,, and they passed over high mountains and scaled the edgea of deep precipices.
