us much in the dark. In a ineas

h1e goi,len thread of human culture
.ta o a period. earlier than that of

hueV what the edication of the pre

present and scarcely intelligeit enough
to view the future with any other feel
ings thanl those of the most vague and
Iaulowr character, we may fancy
prineva man wandering on the face
of the earth. Of knowledge, in our
meaning of the word, it may be serious
ly questioned whether he possessed the
remotest conception. Of sentiment,
lie must have been almost wholly void.
Of L,tellectual life, of the cultivation
and discipline of the mind, of moral
consciousness and in a word of all those
higher pleasures resulting from civiliza
tioni anjd enlightenment, he appears to
have been almost entirely ignorant. "'he
rising sun sent him forth from his rude
abode in quest of food. The gathering
darkness of evening hurried him back
to his cave where he lay down to enter
upon a slumber undisturbed by dreams
of the rise and fail of cotton or the crash
of st ocks.
Man then, however, was the same
experiniental and political aniimal as is
h,i.; antetve of to day, which was
greatly in his favor. We may therefore
helieve that in the pursuit of game he
from thie to time adopted those meth
01s experience and observation had
taught him were best calculated to
capture or destroy his prey. Here a
feather was added to the arrow. Here
lie stone hatchet was sharpened at a
greater angle. Here an extra point was
-iVen1 the little canoe that it might
iore easily cut the waters of Creek or
river. An'd here again, the parsimony
of winter brought the lesson to use to
:ldvantage the lavish generosity of
spring and sunimer. Through those
strauge growths in the society around
hill, primevai man also learned much.
The development of the family into
the clan, the clan into the tribe and the
tribe into greater tribes--all these ex
erted a nivkening influence upon his
mind; while the constant birth of new
ideas cailed for greater mental exer
cise to expre,s them and the division
of labor arising from an increasing
poptulation afilorded more time for ab
stract thought, and contemplation.
We may even picture the boy of that
dimr period aimnessly walking about the
c--umunity or with mini:7-re bow
and arrow imitating the ztvts of the
older vouth. Nor would it require a
verY yivid imagination to fancy the
father and mother of those times in.
structing their son in those few simu
pi practica1liessons of wisdm they
thought should be taught him. By far
he greatest truths of life, however, the
lit the fellow perhaps learned for him
elf. The hills from wvhose tops one
could obtain the best views of the sur
roudin couniry; the loftiest nut trees
'n all the neighboring forests, where
hblushed most deeply-all these, per
ha ps, be uiscoveredI by his own exer
tons. Increasing years brought, to be
-ture, their dute share of toil andl respon
ibility. Before the boy could serve
the tribe, however, he first learned to
bec of use to the family. Now, there
fore, we ruay fancy him cutting some
what loose fronm parenital influence in
order to look after the cattle. At this
stage, moreover, he is armed with a
larger how~ and arrow that he might
protet t he herds from wild beasts.
Mea nwIle, the tribe, in search of bet
er p)asturage, changes its abode; and
t he lad' A nowledge of local geography
is widened. Later on, when the wet
seas~on drives the herdsmien to the
hihlands or the dry season sends them
hack to the plains, the prehistoric boy
erns other lessons in geography. Nor
nnot iced do the leaves bud in spring
Tnd fall in winter; or the birds take
their tlight and return again; or the
heat of summer and the frosts of win
ter pursue each other; cr the flashing
lightning arnd the heavy thuinder light

of morning andl the gioc-~n of evening
from their endless cycle of light and

SAVED FROM CUSTER'S FATE.
The Narrow Escape of the seventh Cavalry
at White Clay Creek.
Cmc.;o, January 2.- -A special from
Pine Ridge Agency, S. ). says:
"IL is evident front the testimony of
oiicers and men that the 7th cavalry
barelv escaped the tragic fate of Custer
in the battle of White (lay Creek. T he
troops had pa!-sed the Catholie un:-ion
and were dismounted in a big valley
one and a half miles wide iu-t beyond
the school. At the end of this valley
is a narrow canon, not over se-venty-I
five feet wide and three hundred yz rds
long, opening into a small circular
park. It was the object of the Indian
to trai them into this small valley.
"The soldiers were getting ready to
make a rush on foot for the top of the
hill, when the cry arose that-they were'
surrounded. Advancinig now in onP
di-rection, now in another on either side
of the valley, they found tmemselves,
opposed each time by two to three
thou.:and warriors, andt wventy minuites
more a tragedy would have gone to I lie
world when the untiring !th rode III as
they rode before at the time Of the
Meeker massacre, attacking furiously
the rear of the savages and scattering
them in every direction.
"Before the enemy could rally from
their fright the boys in hite withdiew
slowly and sullenly to loe lW. TIhe
eneny drove horses and cattle in every
direction.
"While the blizzard made the old
men, women and children to suIler, it
will have little or no etect on the bucks
and warriors
"It is belie.ved that little Wound was
the head that planned and directed the
battle, as there was more generalship
than had been displayed since Re'l
Cloud's fighting days. Old Red Cloud
sent in a letter laQt night claiming that
he was there and begging the soldiers
to come and save him. This is corro
borated by friendlies, who say that
when the stampede took place on M#on
day old Red's wife began to throw
things into the wagons and with true
Indian spirit said she was for war and
would go out on the bloody path even
if he liege lord remained and fought on
the other side.
THE INDIANS SUiM FO']R P.A*E.
O HMAH, January 2.-A Bee special
from Rushville says:
"It is definitely known that the
hostiles, to the number of 1,100, are
fortitied near the mouth Of White Clay
Creek, and Gen Brooke with a detach
ment of troops is swinging round to the
north of them. Gen Carr is supposed to
be approaching from the west, and Gen
Miles will make a dash from the south.
The forces thus engaged is thought to
be ample for annihilating the entire
band, unless some unforseen complica
tion or misfortune arises.
"Ambassadors from the hostile camp
have to day been suing for peace and
olfcring to surrender nrnis. It is iot
known here whether terms will be
granted or not, but the general opinion
prev.ails that in view of the actions of
the rebels in slaughtering troops while
under a flag of truce, not much weight
will be given their pretended repent
nce.
"That the hostiles have been largely
reinforced within the past two days
there is no longer doubt, and the-e
seems reasonable ground for rumors
that some Indians from other agencies
on the British possessions have joined
them.
"The report has just reached here by
courier that a foraginig plarty of Indians
from the main camp~ (In White Clay
attackett the ranch of Douglass Points
last night, killed him and drove away
his four hundred head of cattle. A
great row is reported to have broken
out in the camp of the hostiles, the
contention being as to the advisability
but comesthogiahf-recur
who claims to have just arrived fronm
the camp. Except in case of uncondi
tional surrender there will be a great
battle before night."
A DIASTROU S SKIRMIISH FO TH E SOL
DIERs.
031aHA, January 2.-A special to
the Bee from Pine .Ridge says:
"A scout just itn fromt the hostiles
says that fourteen cavalry horses with
saddles and other equipments were
brought into hostile camp last night
by young warriors. T'he scout heard
tie~hostiles make remarks to tihe effect
that there was fourteen less soldiers to
light, and that the hostiles lost only
to warriors in getting the fourteen
cavalry horses;-etc.,
"'The scout's report has created a new
sensation here, which is being followedl
up by increa.sed activity around mili
tary headquarters. That the in telligence
means that a battle or skirmish has
taken place it which Brook's or Carr's
command had lost ment there is little
doubt."

[Spcial to the News and Courier.]
CoLuMurA, S. C. .Jan. (.- A brand
new issue growing out of the recent
legislation has been referred to Attor
ney General Pope. The question is
whether every botard of county comn
missioners is functus otticio by the
amendment to thle Constit.ution abol
ising the office of county comnmis
soner. The Act creating the board,
prescribing its duties, etc., has not
been repealed, and the point is, the
county commissioners being the head
of the county government, whether
there is any etounty governnment in
the State. Attorney General Pope
ays that lie has the maitter under
advisement and without giving a dlefi
nite opinioni, lie thinks that the new
costi tutional .amiend(liment only relieves
the electors of the duty of electing
county commissioners. He doles not
regard tihe amendmnen t as summarily
d isposilg of tihe coun ty comniosmoners,
the Acts as to their function being still
of force.

question, and will doubtless do all in
his power to make the prices lower.
We hope that he may be successful int
his efforts, and thiiik that he should

dearer? It is not the fault, however, of
the local bookseller, but of the school
