Fronter Lie. In August, 1878, Henry Dillard, a young man about twenty years of ago, was returning from Fort Griffin to his home on the Brazos. lie had been to the Fort to sell a load of produce on the day before. Ile was driving a pair of mules, and in the wagon with hin was his little brother Willie, ahout thir teen years old. Having attended a ball on the night previous, Dillard felt drowsy. When about fifteen miles from the Fort, as he was dozing on the wagon-seat, little dreaming of the drama in which he was to play a prom Inent part, he wassuddenly aroused by the sound of laughter and the tramp ling of horses, Ie had driven al most into the midst of the party of thirty Indians, who were moving to wards ilim. Instantly comprehending the situation, he reached down and picked up his gun. The foremost In dian, who was iearly abreast of him, now fired at Dillard, the ball cutting away his temporal lock and anoi b:u, - Ing the scalp. Dillard fired a shot or two, but found that the shields of the Indians turned the bullets. le then shot one Indian below the shield, break Ing his thigh and the backbone of his horse. Calling upon Willie to follow him, he then sprang from the wagon and began to move toward a ravine about a quarterof a mile to the right. I1s arms were a Spencer rifle and six shooter. Willie also had t six-shooter. The Indiana immediately surrou nded themi, galloping in a circle, keeping up a constant yelling and tiring. They were armed with Spencer rifles and bullet-proof shleds. Sometimes run ning, sometimes walking, sometimes at, bay, the two boys a1)proached the ra vine. At the first fire Willie's six shooter was rendered useless by the blowing out of a portion of the cylin (er, lenceforward his only service was to carry the cartridges for his brother. At one time Ihenry fell on his face. An Indian dashied up to take hils seal), but was shot by Dillard before Ie rose from the ground. At another time he heard Willie cry, "Ien ry I look here." The boy was running around a mosquito bush, followed by an Indian, who was trying to grasp hii by the clothcs. Ifenry ran up and shot the ludian,and the two boys con tinned the retreat. On they struuggled, the Indians charging back and forth, lreling, yelling and firing, attempt Ing to ride theim dlown or dash them to the earth with the barrels ot their car lnes. Oi they pushed, seizing every "colgn' of advantage, loading, firing, dodging, turning, but ever advancing toward the ravine, where the inttinct of the young braves pointed them to shelter. The heat was terrible; their tongues were swollen and theskin sl1p ped from the soles of their feet. But on they pressed-to pause was to die. The efforts of the savages, who were now maddened with rage and revenge, were redoubledi as the boys neared the ravine. But the young heroes strug gled on with undaunted resolution and at length reneied It and sprang into the brush with which It, was fring ed. But one of tie Indians had arriv ed before them nd d11(ismiounted from his horse. IDillard discoverinmg himal, attempted to shoot, but 1his plece was nowv empty. The Indian seeing this mounted his horse and diashedi up to him, carbine in hand,. and was shot by Uiliard through the body with his pis tol, ie turned andi rode awauy to the miain body. The boys now retired into the depths of the ravine and the savages retreated, carrying away theie dead and wounded, but leaving live horses on the bloody field, besides blan kets and blouses perforated with bullet holes and somne clothing anmd otherarti cles which they had taken from the whites on this foray. Th'le Indians having taken Dillard's mules lhe made lisa way on foot to a ranch some miles away and returnedl to Fort Griffin. Oni * hearing hisa report, Goeneral Buell im mediately sent ani oflcer with a sil clent iiumberof men to pursue the In dians. These had divided, the main body taking to the right, andi a smaller * party, with the dead and wounded, a left hand trail. In two or thiree (days, about the head of the Wichita, thiey came upon a camp wvhich had been~ ie cently deserted by the Idlins Three beds, made of grass and deeply bleod.. stained, were found in this camp. No ticing some buzzards circling aroumti a mountain near by, some of tile party ascended it and found where the In dians had partially bur'ied thiree bodies of those who had doubtless died( in tile camp. They also found here a memor andum book of DillardI's whieh lie had lost in the a fight few cdays before. 1Dil lard's feet were now so sore that lhe was not able to w alk, and the party returned to Fort Griflin without strik Ing the In dians. Enoeming out the "L."

PUTTINO AWAY POTA'oics. - Every method has been tried by farmers to store and preserve their potatoes through the winter, and we may say until potatoes colne again, It is the most valuable oft all vegetables, thouigh here and there we find a )ers8on1 and a writer who undertakes to tell uts of its unwholesomeness. It is universally consumed in all civilized countries. as where It cannot be grown it is imported, whicih canl be done long distances when ventilation Is attended to. In storing potatoes several methods are adopted, yet they aRe all lractical3' the CaMe, the object being so protect them agaInst, freezing, whother buried in pits or stored iII cellars. The first contsiderta tlion is to keep them In perfect darkness; the next is the bins t.hould not be too deep-not over three feet--to prod nec warmth and cause them to sprotat. When stored in the field, straight tron ches are dug, say twelity feet In length and four or five wide, wich tire filled to the depth of three feet with potatoes, then well-covered with traw, on top of which put, eighteen or twenty Inches of earth. In a pit twmity-three feet long thero .shotid be about t.hree gas escapes or ventillating openings, which should be plugged with straw aidtI cov ered witlh a board set at an aigle to turt the ralin.

Boys who Learned to Sew. When the late Admiral - was a young nidshipman lie was sent on a voyage around the world in one of Kiug Gcorge IlI.'s ships. He was three years away, and as lie grew very fast he found himself sailing in the Pacific Ocean with hardly a stitch of clothes to his tac. His motlier, sister of Admiral Lord -- , had taught her little boy to sow; so he got soie can vas out of the ship's stores and cut out and made himself a new suit of clothes; his niotier was very proud of these, and when her son was an Admiral she used to show then to her grandchildren and tell then the itory. Rather mnore than thirty years ago a lady went to call on another one rainy afternoon ; the house was built on an island in a lake in Ireland. In the dining-ront were two little boys sitting on footstools, one on each sid of the fireplace. Probably the visitor looked astonished, for ilie mother of the little boys said in a low tone: "Please don't laugh at them; What should 1 (10 with them on this island on a rainy drty if they were too proud to sow ?" One of these boys was a lieutenant in the Crimean ivar; he fought none the worse because he knew how to use the needle as well as the sword, when he, with llls nmen, was for eighteen hours in the ledan on the memorable 18th of June. The chaplain of an Irish institution had seen, when he was young, the stralts to which the French aristooratic refugees were neduced from having to do things for them selves, and lie got a tairor to conic into Isis hoilse and teach his boys how to cut out and make and mend their own clothes.
