On Monday night a very delightful entertainment was held at the New berry Hotel. It was designated in the langu ge of modern society, a phantom party, we presume, in consequence of the spectre-like or ghost-like appear ance of the participauts and pleasure seekers on this night in question. It is the general opinion, we believe, that a ghost is white, although what foun dation there is for such belief we do not know, never having seen one. The gallant young men and fair maidens on this occasion, during the *first part of the evening were all arrayed in ele gant white costumes with masks cov ering the face, and all went merry as merry could be,without the stiffness of formal introduction, for no one was presumed to know the other. About 11 o'clock, or perhaps later, the masks were removed and pleasure ran high until the small hours of the morning when the happy company ad journed. Through the kindness of some of the ladies who were present we are per mitted to present a list of those who were fortunate enough to enjoy this festive occasion, together with a descrip tion of the dresses of the ladies after the masks were removed. The following ladies acted as chape rons: Mrs. I. A. Blanton, black hen rietta with jet trimmings; Mrs. J. F. Brown, black silk with lace oversuit, ornaments, diamonds; Mrs. C. C. Davis, black silk, ornaments, diamonds; Mrs. E. M. Evans, tan and brown, diamond ornaments; Mrs. Lockwood, tailor made cream flannel gown, pearl pin, ornaments, pearls and diamonds. The bright, happy and blushing young maidens were: Miss Mobley, of Johnson, pink brocaded satin, deco lette in train, pearl ornaments; Miss Strother, of Johnson, combination of blue and old gold plush, v neck, elbow sleeves, diamond ornaments; Miss Mil ler, Charleston, black fish net, gilt trimmings, diamond ornaments; Miss Rosa Chase, Spartanburg, pink alba tross, trimmings. black velvot, old gold ornaments; Miss Lula Chase, Spartan burg, pale blue albatross, very effective; Miss Mallie Wheeler, heliotrope dress, velvet trimmings, "Medici collar," dia mond ornaments; Miss BessieWheeler, Henrietta old blue, velvet trimmings, ornaments, rubies and pearls; Miss Mary Metts, black silk, diamond and pearl ornaments; Miss Hattie Blanton, terra cotta cashmere, velvet trimmings, pearl ornaments; Miss Coppock, dress of cream and albatross sura; Miss Sara Lane, black silk, lace sleeves and over dress; Miss Eoline Merchant, old rose henrietta, plush and rosette trimmings, diamond ornaments; Miss Stevie Bow ers, black cashmere, jet trimmings; Miss Aileen Broaddus. gray cashmere, trimmed in figured satin; Miss Laura Blease, plaid suit, ribbon trimmings; ornaments, pearls and turquoise; Miss Julia Speck, henrietta suit, velvet trim mings.

Sir John Swinburne tells with much gusto how, whenever he is introduced to anyone, he is asked : "Are you re lated to the poet Algernon Swin burne?" to which he invariably re plies, "Bless your soul I am head of the Swinburne family, and be is re lated to me." Sir John has just here happily bit off the relationship of Westmoreland's Calisaya Tonic. It is the head of the family ; it ranks first, and the superlative merits of a tonic are embodied in it. It is pre-eminently the favorite with practising physicians and they generously prescribe it., The formula combines the powerful virtues of' the Calisaya or Cinchona bark and other valuable tonics and alteratives. For indigestion, general debility, dys pepsia, torpid liver, .impure blood or malarial poisoning, 'is an invaluable remedy. For sale by Robertson & Gilder. MARRIED. December 21st, 1890, by Rev. J. A.

OMAHA, NE., December 29 -A special to the Bee from Pine Ridge Agency says: "Couriers from th Bad Lands, who arrived here this morning, announce that a bloody and desperate conflict oc curred this morning on porcupine Creek between the United States troops and the hostiles. Big Foot's band had been surrounded by the troops, and when the former were being disarmed by Col. Forsythe a bloody encounter took place. Capt. Wallace, command ing K troop, of the 7th cavalry, was killed; Lieut. Garlington, of the same regiment was shot in the arm, several soldiers were killed and a number of Indians bit the dust. "The- greatest excitement prevails here among the agency employees and also among the friendless, many of E whom are relatives of the young bucks now on the war path. Grave fears are entertained here for the safety of this post. Details of the battle are expected hourly. The courier who brought the news of the conflict could only give facts relating to the onset." The above news was substantiated by E an official dispatch received at the j headquarters of the department of the Platte. CHICAGO, December 26.-The fol lowing was received at army headquar ters to-night at a late hour. RAPID CITY, S. D., December 29. To Col. H. C. Corbin, Army Headquar ters, Chicago, Ill: Col. Forsythe reports that while disarming Big Foot's band a fight occurred. Capt. Wallace and five soldiers were killed. Lieut. Gar lington and fifteen men were wounded. This again complicates the surrender of all the Indians, which would have taken place in a short time had this not occurred. Forsythe had two battalions and Hotchkiss guns. Quite a large number of young warriors had been away from the camp audiwere going from the Bad Lands, also quite a number of Utes. Two Strike's band is going towards Forsythe. The troops are in close prox imity, Col. Miles commanding. The detachment at once began to search the village, resulting in thirty eight guns being found. As this was about completed the Indians, surroun ded by Companies K. and B., began to move. All of a sudden they threw their bands to the ground and began firing I rapidly at the troops, not twenty feet < away. The troops were at great disadvantage, fearing the shooting of our own com rades. The Indians, men, women and children, then run to the south of the battery, firing rapidly as they ran. Soon mounted troops were after thenm, shoot-} ing them down on every side. The engagement lasted fully an hour and a half. To the south niany took refuge in a ravine, from which it was] difficult to dislodge them. It is esti mated that the soldiers killed and wounded number about fifty. Just now it is impossible to state the exact num i Der of dead Indians. There are many more than fifty, however, killed out right. The soldiers are shooting Indians down where found, no quarters being given by any one. Capt Wallace, K. troop, 7th cavalry, was killed, and Lieut Garlington, of Artic fame, shot through the arm at the elbow. Troops are still firing and pursuring the enemy in every direction. To say it was a most daring feat, one hundred and twenty Indians attacking five hundred cavalry, expresses the situation but faintly. It could only havei been insanity which prompted such a deed. It is doubted that if before night either buck or squaw ouit of all Big .C Foot's band will be left to tell the tale f this day's treachery. The members of the 7th cavalry have nce more shown themselves to be he roes in deeds of daring. Single-handed onflicts were seen all over the field. The death of Capt. Wallace causes much regret. The poor fellow met his :eath by a blow on the head from a war club. CAPT GEORGE D. WALLACE. Capt. Wallace, who was killed as above described, was born June 29, 1849 ; graduated at WVest Point, class of 1872; appointed 1st lieutenant June 26, 1876, and captain September 23, 1885. He was a son of Ex-Congress man A. S. Wallace and a brother of Col. R. M. Wallace, President of the Simonds National Bank of Sumter. THE WOUNDED LIEUTENANT. Lieut Ernest A. Garlington is the eldest son of the late Gen Albert C. Gar- I lington, of Newberry, and is a descend- I ant of the Garlingtons, of Laurens, a family distinguished in South Carolina from the colonial period to the present day. While his father was practicing law in Atlanta young Garlington was appointed to a cadetship at the United States Military Academy at West Point. He entered the Academy on July 1, 1872, and was graduated at the head of his class on June 1.3, 1875, on which day he was commissioned as second lieutenant in the United States army and assigned to the 7th cavalry. On June 26 of the same year he was promoted to be first lieutenant. Froni June 6, 1877, to November 30, 1881, he acted as adjutant of his regiment. Lieut. G3arlington's name has be come familiar to all newspaper readers on accoun t of his command in 1882 of the expedition sent to the Arctic Seas to the relief of the Greely party. The expedition was unsuccessful, but it is said that to Lieut Garlington's good management was due the safe return of his party. After a most thorough d nvestigation of the expedition and of the causes of its failure, Lieut Garling- ~ ton was exonerated from all blame and in addition was highly complimented ' by the war department authorities for his good judgment. Lieut Garlington joined his regiment after his return from the ArcticSeas and as since been stationed at various ar my posts in the West. He is a dashing avalry officer and is highly esteemed by his superiors as an Indian fighter. He ie a warm personal friend of Gen. Miles and has his entire confidence. He was stationed at the front just as soon as the present Indian troubles be -U. S. Gov't Report, Aug. 17, 1889. Braking Pode AND HA - S TLEs. D AT SHORI - at ILowest Pos: BasuI to Sow 0 OCK & pan.

The teachers who missed our last convention missed an instructive treat. Miss Garliiigton's class drill in pho netics was quite a lesson to such old fogy teachers as tbe writer. We have recently felt more interest in the new methods of teaching than we once thought we could. Why is it? Be cause the new methods are the best, and we believe that the teachers who try them will agree with us. It is surely the duty of the teacher to prove all things, and lay hold of that which will impart the most and the best in the least time. The new system of teaching reading is certainly an im provement, and we do wish that all teachers would treat it with respect enough to try it. If we expect to hold our positions as teachers, we must lay aside prejudices and falling into line, march on. We cannot afford to be ob stinate or we will simply be told that we are out of (late and that there is another better qualified to take our place. But some will say, I have not the time, or the proper pupils. or -. Away with excuses. In every recog nized school there are at least six small children. If they know the alphabet and can even read a little this does not differ. Give them a class recitation in sounds each day, just as if they had never seen a letter. You will be awk ward at first, but "perseverence will conquer," an,d the ignorant must learn before they can communicate. A chart like Miss Garlington's would be desira ble, but not many of us can have it. Our chance is to print the words on the board. This, too, is difficult; but with a little practice your letters will soon be legible. The children enjoy the lesson greatly, and it will break the monotony for you. We are sure that in primary teaching we have laid too much stress on spell ing, and we have paid the penalty. How we have labored to teach children the letters, never being able to think what vague instruments their names were for building words. When we first considered phonetic reading we saw it only "through a glass darkly," but noW we prefer it to "the good old way." Another reason for our teaching pho netic reading is that some of our pupils will one day be teachers, and it is our duty to thoroughly equip them for their work. It is in the common schools that we must prepare teachers for the common schools. Remember, our pu pils will reflect our light. Without every ray is given we cannot reflect the pure white. Let us, then, be up and doing lest our efforts be obscure. There is a supineness about many of our teachers which we are sorry to see. Is it because they do not feel interested in their work? Why don't they attend our school conventions? If they would come a few times, they would become interested. Try it. Surely in your schools you have a patron kind enough to furnish a way and a youth gallant enough to drive you to town. Thisone thing you can do; you can test the mat ter and if you cannot succeed you will certainly be excused. J. A. L. Course of studIy for the Public schools FIRST YEAR.
