| or, in otber words, that it Las taken them tbat period of time to recede from their former position at Queens- town Heights to their present location.If it has taken this length of time for Niagara Falls to recede a distance of seven miles by the erosive power of the water acting on a soft shale rock supporting a stratum of limestone, the immensity of time involved by assuming that the Grand River canon was formed in the same way is so great that the mind falters in contemplating it, especially when it is recognized that the escarpment of the Grand Falis is of hard gnoissic rock, And yet no other explanation of the origin of this gorge is acceptable, unless, indecd, we can assume that at some former time a fissure occurred in the earth's crust as a result of igneous agencies, and that this fissure ran in a line identical with the present course of the river; in which case the drainage of the table-land, cmptying into the Grand River, would follow the line of least resistance, and in the course of time excavate tbe fissure into the present proportions of the gorge.\u2014æ_ Measuring the Grand Falls of Labrador.CA.Kenaston, in the Centery for September.At St.John\u2019s, Newfoundland, we had provided ourselves with several balls of stout linen cord with which to measure the hight of the fall, if the situation should be found suitable.Fortunately, alongside the chute just above the brink of the main cataract, we found a floor of rock of the same slope, about 30° degrees below the horizontal.Along this it was possible to go, but with some peril, nearly to the edge over which the stream plunges in its final descent.Fastening a hes- vy billet of green {ir to ove end of the cord, the weight was carried and thrown down on the surface of the rock to the brink of the fall, the cord being paid out from the upper end of the slope.A mark was made in the cord to mark the distance to the edge, and the billet was allowed to fall over the precipice into the cbasm.Montague, having climbed along the bank at the edge of the canon, was holding on by the trunk of a tree, from which he could see when the block of wood strnck the water below as the cord was paid out by me above.The instant of contact was plainly visible to him, and I was equally sensible of it.The cord was now drawn up over the edge and carefully measured with a lape- line.The whole length paid out was 505 feet, the part which measured to slope was 189 fect, leaving for the height of the main fall below the chute 316 feet.Allowing for a few degrees deviation from the perpendicular, snd for a slight stretching of the cord, though this last was probably counteracted by wetting, the height of the fall may be considered something more than 800 feet.The vertical height of the chute, about 32 feet, added to the other measurement, makes the descent from the head of the chute to tho surface of the water in the chasm, about 848 feet.She\u2014Do you love me fur myself alone.He\u2014Yes, and when we're married I don\u2019t want any of the family thrown in.\u2014[Tit-Bite.ROCK ISLAND, (STANSTEAD) P.Q., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1892.tn WHOLE NUMBER, 2433.x, \u2014\u2014 FOR WOMEN, FROM EIGHTEEN TO EIGUTY.Much has lutely been said and written upon the art of growing old gracefully.What woman but desires to achieve tbat fascinating attribute of womanhood, grace of feature, form, and inanner\u2014and rigbtly so! At eighteen she desires it in order to satisfy her own personal aggrandizement.As she advances in age, it is for her children's sake ; aud then on and on with advancing years, as the possibili- tics of life multiply for her, so that from confirmation of habit it becomes second nature to her; until at eighty, it may be, she is held io love and esteem, beautiful to see and to kuow, by all who call her friend.The art of growing old gracefully is of a two-fold nature, and requires the exercise of two distinct aims\u2014howev- er much they may lap aud overlap each other\u2014viz: grace and gracefulness; the onc obtained hy the exercise and training of the wind, the other hy the exercise and training of the body.These should go hand in hand for the symmetrical develope- ment of the true woman.It is sometimes said, and so far truly, that the care of the disposition is more important than that of the physique.Better to have a cultured disposition iu a crooked body than a crooked disposition in a cultured body And eo it certainly should be if there were necessily of choice.But, bappi- ly for us, these two can be cultivated to better advantage if taken in hand togetber than if undertaken sivgly, so constantly do they act and react as aids to one another.She who sets ahout in earnest the acquirement of a gracious disposition will at ouce strive to form a habit of refusing to harbor worries, and likewise all ungencrous and unpleasant thoughts.It is the worries which, if given a foothold, will, sooner or later, leave the \u2018\u2018crows\u2019 feet\u201d and wrinkles on ber face.The beauty of the face lies in its expression.Pleasant thoughts, and a hopeful way of looking at things, lighten and brighten the features to a wonderful extent.Ic managing her own children, or the children with whom she comes io contact, she will put herself in the child\u2019s place, viewing the world from its standpoint as well as from her own Her calm demeanor, her sympathetic tone and manner, will alwaye inspire the child\u2019s confidence, and thus will she keep in touch with her own youth.Her sympathies, her patience, and her experience, will enkindle and keep aglow her interest in the progress of the world, and thus also will she perpetually, as it were, renew her own vouth.Nor can it be but that a mind full of keen interest in all ita surroundings, quick to aflevidte sulferfug as to give and receive happiness\u2014\u2014-such a mind cannot fail to impart a sense of grace to the face and to the voice; indeed, it lends an impressiveness to the whole carriage and bearing of the woman.\u201cAt what age do you call one old?\u201d asked a prominent man of wealth and station of a keen observer of human nature.\u2018That depends upon the individual, not upon the years,\u201d was the reply.\u201cThere is Mrs.DB.for instance, a woman past scventy, regularly instructing her grandchildren for two or three hours a day, not in the primitive method of fifty years ago, but in tlie most modern, for she is quite up to the times.Surely she is not old, aod I doubt if she is less beautiful now than in her palmiest days, for the lovely white hair softens the complexion, still ruddy with the hue of health, and the expanded soul and mind illumine the eye and give expression to the features.\u201d When is a woman old?Ouly when so wrapped in the infir- wities, cares, and interests of sclf as to be kept from growing into a higher and fuller life.In the second step of this effort at sclf culture, the attaioment of gracefulness, a woman will make a great mistake if she forgets that it is necessary both lo exercise the body and to exercise a care for the body.She must pursuc this care for her health by all sensible meana\u2014the daily baths and the out-of-door exercise and sunshine ; a judicious alternation of work and rest ; moderation in food; a due amount of sleep (let her not forget her s\u2018heauty sleep\u201d ; an hour before midnight is worth two after).All these are important elements; for, as has been said before, the tone of the healih bears a most important relation to the tone of the disposition, as well as bears directly upon the personal appearance.How can a sunny face, with pure blood coursing underncath a fair, healthy ekin, shining eyes, firm flesh, an clastic step, and a vivid, forceful sense of life about her every movement, be altained if n woman steadily neglects any one of these requirements?Let the girl of cighteen remember that the earlier in life the habits of mental and physical training aro acquired, the more staunch and firm allies will they bein declining age.Lot the woman of forty bear in mind that from forty to sixty.five is a quarter of a century, the third of a long life.It is a period through which the majority of grown-up people pass, and yot how little pains women take to be charming theo! À memory picture lies before mo ns I write.It is that of a woman followed by admiring eyes as sho moves majestically through the large parlors of a fashionable hotel at a iarge snm- mer resort.She is dearly loved by those who have felt the healing dew of her kindly sympathy, and profiied by the wisdom gained in her three-scors aud ten years.A graceful lace en rests lightly on her lair, and her bril- lint black eyes have lost none of their fire, nor hier heart ile enthusiasm, and she enters into all the sports and activities of the house ; and when wo sce her kneuliog revercatiy in the house of worship with \u2018the peace which pas- seth all understanding\u201d resting upon her, we feel sure that cre long the crown of almond blossoms which she wears will be exchanged for a wreath of immortelles in the garden of our Lord.Growing old should be but auother name for increasing into the full stature of womanhood, spiritually and iu- tellectually.Therefore be not ashamed to acknowledge yourself no longer young, and be not blind to the rich autumual tints of full maturity, nor yet to the beautiful effects of the gray shades and suows of the winter of age for each has ite own charm and eig- vificant beauty.If tliese things be carefully considered, and then couscientiously tried and proven, it lies within the reach of every woman to render hersell graceful and attractive all along her life\u2019s pathway, be it from eighteen perchance to even eighty, should it be vouchsafed ler to reach that distant milestone.KEE!\" YOUR ROOM TIDY.A look into a girl's room will give one an idea of what kind of woman she will probably become.A girl wlio keeps her clothes hung up neatly, whose room is clean always, will be very apt to make a good wife and a successful woman.Order and neatness are essential to our comfort as well as to that of others about us.A girl who throws down ber things anywhere, will do things in a slovenly, careless way.A girl who does not make her bed till after dinner, and she should always make it berself rather than have the servant do it, and who throws her dress or bonnet down in a chair, will make a poor wife in nine cases out of ten.If all the world could see bow a girl keeps her dressing room, many unhappy marriages would be saved.Always be as tidy about your person and your room as if all your friends could always see you.Get into the habit of order and neatness, and il will come casy in life afterwards.THE CHARM OF RESERVE.It is perfectly true that familiarity breeds contempt.Be not too anxious therefore, to give yourself awfy\u2014to wear your lieart upon your sleeve.It is not ouly unwise, it is wrong to make your secret soul cominon property; for you bring the delicate things of the heart into contempt by exposing them to those who cannot understand (them.Nor, again, should you claim too much openncss as a duty due to you from your child, your Lusband, or your friends.Much of the charm of life is ruined hy exacling demands of confidence.Respect the natural modesty of the soul; its more delicate flowers of feeling close their petals when they are touched \u2018mo™ : Wait with curious love\u2014with eager in- terest\u2014for the time when, all being harmonious, the revelation will come of its own accord, undemanded.The expectation has its charm, for as long as life has something to learn, life is interesting ; as long as a friend has something to give, friendship is delightful.UINTS FOR THE KITCHEN.A ssck of the best salt standing where there is a smell of fish or any objectionable odor will absorb the flavor.Water that has been allowed to boil and then become cool is better than vinegar to mix with mustard for the table.Wlen you polish your stove, shave as much hard soap as you use of the polish, boil together in a little water, and apply.By rubbing with a flannel dipped in whiting, the brown discolorations may be taken off of cups which have been used for baking.After the juice is squeczed from lemons, the peels are useful to rub brase with ; dip in common salt, then brush with dry bath-brick.In taking down a stove, ii any soot should fall upon the carpet or rug, cover quickly with dry salt before sweeping and not a mark will be left.Wash zinc in a strong solution of warm water and waehing soda, or am- mwonia and soap; afterwards, rub thoroughly with a woollen cloth saturated in coal oil.A grocer has given the following method as an effectual one far preventing cheese from mouldering :\u2014 Dip a cloth in cider vinegar, wring, and in it wrap the checse.To set delicate colors in embroidered handkerchiefs, soak them ten minutes, before washing, in a pail of water in which a dessert spoonful of turpentine has been stirred.Teapots should be washed thoroughly with strong soda and water and then rinsed well and perfectly dried each day if one would prevent the curious hay-like amell often noticed in 8 teapot.In boiling catsup or pickles, boil the corks, and while hot you cao press them into the bottles, and when cold they are tightly sealed.Use the tin foil from compressed yeast to cover the corks.Coal oil will take iron rust and fruit stains from almost every kind of goods without injuring the fabric.ash the soiled spot in coal oil as you would in water.The spots must he washed in the coal ofl before they have been put into soap and water, or it will do no good.Take an crdinary baking powder box with a tightly.Aiting lid, and, with à good sized nail, punch a few holes io the lid and aleo in the bottom.Into thie box put all the small bite of ecap which are otherwise apt to be thrown away.Throw this into the dish water when you begin to wash dishics, and by giving a shake now and again ave a nios lather for the dishes.After à trial of this soap- shaker, you will not be satisfied to without it.Row Columbus was Wrecked, AND HOW IIE WAS TREATED BY THE ABORIGINES.Emilio Castelar, in the September Century.Guacanagari was esger to see more of the Spaniards, and sent numbers of his light hearted peoplo to welcome them and bring them gifts of every sort.Their enthusiasm was unbounded, their generosity unstinted.The land was gay with festivities, the sea swarmed with canoes.On nearing the caravels, the Indians that crowded them stood up, tendering all kinds of offerings with gestures of devotion, as in idolatrous worship.Beholding all this enthusiasm, Columbus despatched a formal embassy to Guacanagari, and on hearing their report be determined, despite the prevailing land-breeze, to weigh anchor and esil to the dominions of his friends which were some five leagues distant.He set out at daybreak on December 24.Little progréss was made during all that day.The night came, Christ- \u2018mas Eve, and Columbus determined to celebrate it, as best befitted his own health and the comforts of his own crew, by enjoying a sound sleep.He retired, worn out by three nights of vigil following three days of herculean labor.Sweet must have been his rest! His discovery of the new world whose very existence had been denied, the endless up-springing of Edeu-isles, the simple races bound to nature by such mysterious ties and soon to be brought into the fold of civilization and Christianity, must have filled his mind with happy dreams on this the first reatful Christmas Eve he had spent in thirty years titanic contest with the world, and at times even with his own self.It was midnight, when the echos of childhood and of times long past fill the slumbering ear.The heavens smiled, and the sea was calm.The sailors slept soundly, sure of their bearings and sea-room because preceded by their little fleet of skiffs and canoes sent by Columbus to the Indian king.A ship\u2019s boy at helm, so assured were they all of the fairness of the weather and the safety of their course\u2014when the flagship suddenly struck upon a sunken reef.Columbus instantly divined Lis peril, and burried on deck.With lightning rapidity he gave orders fo cut away the mast and throw the cargo overboard.Bat the remedy was futile ; it was no mere stranding, it was 8 wreck.With the desertion of the Pinta and the loss of the Santa Maria, only the smallest and frailest of these caravels that had set eail from Palos remained.He went on board the Nina, and sent a fresh em- sg oe off and on till day broke.When the chief learned the misfortune, be sought in every wily to alleviate it, sparing neither means or sacrifice.Disastrous indeed it was to face suck supersti- tous races, who conflded in the prosperity aud success of the supernatural, with the slender remnants of such a wreck, which showed how the sea overcomes all created thinge and bows us all to ite all sovereign power.But the sentiment of hospitality was uppermost in that faithful tribe and in their kindly monarch.All the succor needed in that sad hour, and all the requisite provision for the future, were given to the sufferers with admirable orderliness.The salvage of the wreck was piled on shore and, uuder the chief\u2019 sorders,scrupulously guarded by the natives as though it were their own.The cargo was rapidly discharged and stored io a place of safety, without the loss of of a piu\u2019e point.Method in Reading.But to get instruction from a book there must be more or less method if the reading.How are serious books to be read?Serirusly, of course ; which implies a good deal, if you only reflect.There is the attention fo be looked after.Let it be understood, once for all, that reading does not mean skimming the pages with a mind distracted in other directions.Bacon cannot mean that process to be applied even to the hooks \u2018\u2018to be tasted,\u201d much less to the others.There is only one thing that may be read in that slovenly way,\u2014that is the newspaper.But to do even that is just in so far to form bad babits.For one thing, we learn to read too fast.This is a general tendency of our time and our nervous race ; and in must be checked if we mean Lo make our books yield anything.Another essential for the real study of a work with economy of time, is the making of notes of some sort as we read.The common advice \u2018\u2018read with pencil in hand,\u201d is founded upon general experience.Depend upon it, unless the book is noarly worthless, it will be turned to more advantage if some distinct trace of its perusal is kept.Often it will be sufficient to mark certain passages with a pencil; but that is only better than not marking at all.On the other hand, it would be useless for most to attempt to put into practice aa elaborate system of marks such as that contained in Todd's Student's Manual.If you underlie new words or old words used in unusual ways, and perhaps striking terms of expression that you wish to remember, you will do enough, in addition, of course, to the general marginal notes to call attention to beauties of thought, originality of reasoning and the like.Indeed, no book need be left witbout traces of your eye and hand, if it contains anything worth reading.\u2014[ From \u201cReadibg for Girls,\u201d by Hubert Barton, in the Domicion Illustrated Moothly for September.\u201cI hear you are living down\" on the New Jersey Coast.Is it cool down there,\u201d \u2018Cool! I should say so.| We the mosquitos all have to wear buffalo reves.\u201d\u2014[Cloak Review.Fall Plowing.In some sections of the country fall plowiag is pretty generally done, #0 far as this may be practicable.In other sections, it does not receive much sttention.Now it follows that if the practice in one part of the country is the right thing, the neglect of it in other sections is wrong.Our convictions on the subject are both decided and strong.We believe that with but few exceptions tt will be found to the sdvantage of the farmer to plow every foot of land in the autumn that is to be sown in the spring with cereal crops, unless where roots Lave been grown.The advantages are very great, and the disadvantages but few.Our ses- sons for cultivation are short where the winters are so long.We must sow our grain quite early if we are to expeot a good crop, and this we cannot do unless we have the greater portion of the land plowed the previous autumn.The difference in the return from the early-sown grains and those that are sown later are well brought out in the experiments thai have been conducted during recent years at the stations of Ottawa and Guelph.These experiments have shown that usually it is impossible, in our climate, to sow grains too early after the ground has become dry enough in the spring to do this work without the danger of it impacting the Jand.In view, then, of the advantages that result from early sowing, it is better to prepare the land in the autumn where this can be done.Even when the land is plowed in atumn, by the time the necessary labor of cultivating is put upon the same, and the sowing completed in the spring, the season will be found well advanced.But the greater advantage grows out of the effects of exposing the upturned soil to the weathering influences of air, froet, sun and rain.The inert fertility thus exposed is unlocked by these agencies; that is to say, where nitrogen exists in insoluble form in the soil, it is rendered soluble, so that the plante sown upon the land in the spring are enabled to take 1t up and feed upon it.The same is true of fertility in the soil in various other forms.In the action of these agencies on the upturned soil we find the explanation of the great difference between the growth of & crop, especially in the earlier stages thereof, that is sown upon autnmn-plowed land as compared with that sown upon what ie spring- plowed, even when the quality of the land is the same naturally.In the one case, more of the plant food in the soil has been made ready than in the other.The contrast is much greater, however, in different soils.The great- to Guscanagari, givin = the amoun$ of clay in the soil, the of the disaster, fe Et i es the growth of thé\u201d crop in the spring-plowed land.Weather agencies act more slowly on clay soils.The fertility held in these ie less accessible to the influences named, as the particles of clay lie more compaci- ly and adhere more tenaciously together.In this we find the explanation that in unfavorable seasons, when clays are plowed in the spring, the crop will probably be a failure ; whereas had it been plowed in the autamn, it would probably bave given s fair return.The advantages, therefore, resulting from fall plowing, as compared with spring plowing, are very great.Where a root crop has been grown, it is not necessary to plow be land either in the autumn or the spring following.The action of the weathering influences named, with the exception of frost, have been goingon during the season of cnltivation while the roots have been growing ; hence there is a fair amount of plant food already unlocked in the upper portion of the soil.4 When the land is plowed this is buried, and, therefore, the chances of a vigorous early growth are diminished, more especially when the plowing is done in the spring.On all soils where roots have been grown, theiefore, the use >f the cultivator in the spriag will answer in preparing the land for sowing.The same would hold true where corn has been grown the previous year were it not for the\u2019 fact that the roots of the stalks would be badly in the way of the barrow in preparing the land, and of the drill when sowing it.And wbere rape has been grown, were it not for the fact that the frost does not always destroy the vitality of the rape ; hence it grows in the succeeding crop.Two objections have been urged agsiost autumn plowing, viz., the soil is more liable to be washed away when it is uptarned in the aatamn, and it ie more liable to loss of fertility from the washing of the nitrates down through the soil into the drainage water below.There is some force in both of these.Io reference to the first, the loss from this source will not be much, except on light billy lands.Beeause of this, it may be necessary sometimes to forbear plowing these until spring.But usually it is not good policy to work such lands very much ; because of this liability to wash, they bad better be held in place by the roots of grasses growing upon them.The second ob- Jection is not serions, unless the plowing is done quite early in the season, and the weather should turn wet.Usuaily, fall plowing does not commence before October, or at lcast un- P til September is nearly gone.There is not & very long time left for the leaching out referred to until the frosts of winter come and stay these proces- sos.Besides, the leaching from a plowed field cannot be so very much more than fron a stubble field, which js bare, or almost bare, of vegetation.The loss from these sources will not nearly counterbalance the gains from autumn plowing ; hence we advise farmers to get the land ready in she fall as far it may be pcamible to do so.\u2014[Canadian Live Stock sad Farm Journal.frere Propristor (of barber )\u2014How did you hack up this s ee Beautifying onr Farm Homes.It Las been well written, \u2018A thing of beauty is a joy forever,\u201d and no one who has ever come in contact wilh anything beautiful will attempt to deny the truth of this.This granted, it would only seem naturs] that, when we can acquire beauty and attractiveness for our home surroundings in 8 simple and inexpensive manuver, we should unhesitatingly stretch out our bands and grasp them; and yet how few of our Canadian farm houses have any beauty or atlractiveness about them! Located oftimes in a disadvantageous situation, they stand out bare against the sky, with not a vertige of tree or shrub about them to relieve their unpicturesness.This is the case not only with houses erected many years ago, when the countr was but newly settled, bat also wit many a fine new house built with no thought of its surroundings ; and yet how easily can such be improved! No one who has not tried it has any idea of the change a small lawn, with a few flower beds filled with attractive flowers, makes in a place (and many of the old-fashioned varielice are as pretty as the newer and more expensive kinds) ; whilst on the building itself the creepers of different kinda, the clematis and other climbing plants would, during the summer months, transform many an eyesore into a pleasure.Try the effect of a few ornamental and other trees planted, not in straight lines, but judiciously, and where you think they would do weil and act as a shelter to the house and buildings, with here and there a small clump where they would look well and not obstruct the view.All this would take but little time, and you would be amply repaid in a few years for your trouble.Many & boy and girl have left their country home Because there was nothing there but bard work, and because the surroundings were plain and unattractive, who, had their homes been bright and

their surroundings tidy, if tho members of the family are to grow up with that respect and love which they ought to bave for home.I wish to speak a word ar two ac to the way or ways in which the rubbish of the house, especially the farm house, may be put out of sight.It sometimes happens that nature has formed some pit, or man has made some excavation, which may be turned into a receptacle for rabbish, into which it may be thrown peomiscuonsly, as son.of Valley of Hinnom, which receives and absorbe all the rabbish as it accumulates.Bat in a large majority of instances such receptacles are not at hand.The resource then is to dig a pit in the earth in some remote part of the premises, and throw in the rubbish as it acca- mulates.In this way broken pottery and a hundred other things may find burial.When these accumulate sufficiently, the pit may be covered up and another one opened.A little attention to this matter would work & great change in the surroundings of very many homes.It would also have an excellent influence in developing proper babits in the young people of the home, and would help to anchor them there when otherwise they might have been inclined to cut the moorings all too soon.A Friend.A London paper recently offered a prize for the best definition of a friend The following gained the prize: \u201cThe first person who comes in when the whole world goes

opposite the new building juet erected by Mr.Francis Codere, when a picce of three inch plank dropped from the scaflold and struck bio on the bead, fracturing his skull.He was taken home and died during the afternoon.An inquest was held by Coroner Woodward, on Tuesday evening, with the following jury :\u2014Thomas Barry.foreman C.A.E.Lefebvre, David W.Stenson, Joseph Sorel, Theo.Pelletier, W.T.Mountain, Thomas Hudson.Felix Poulin, Louis Charest.J.W.Burton, George Simpson, John Henderson, Wm.Thatcher, Henry Smithers and Peter Houle.After hearing the evidence of Dr.Elie and Dr.Catellier, and of Norbert Beaulne, Hermenegilde Beaulne, Jos.Hamel, Jos.LeMay, Louis De- Rocher, D.Bedard, Jus.Houle and Francis Codere, the july made the following finding : \u201cWe find that Evangeliste Houle carpe to his death at about the hour of three of the clock in the afternoon of fifth of September instant, at the louse of his son Joseph Houle, No.80 Queen st., in the City of Sherbrooke, and that the cause of hie death was fracture of the skull, by Lis being struck by a piece of wood, (being a short piece of three inch planking) during the forenoon of said 5th of September, while he was walking on the public sidewalk on Wellington strect in front of the new building of Francis Codere, said piece of wood falling from the upper part of said building ; and that at said time and place a scaffold was being removed from over said sidewalk by Hermenegilde Beaulne and Jos.Hamel, and we find that said sidewalk should bave been guarded or blockaded while said scaffold was being taken down, aod that if it had been guarded the life of said Evangeliste Joule would have been saved.And we Thomas Barry, Jos.Sorel, W.T.Mountain, Thomas Hudson, John W.Burton, George Simpson, John Henderson, Ww.Thatcher, Henry Smithers and Peter Houle, ten of said jurors, find that said said Francois Codere should have caused his sidewalk to have been guarded or blockaded while said scaffold was being taken down.And said C.À.E.Lefebvre, David W.Stenson, Theo.Pelletier, Felix Poulin and Louis Char- est, five in number of said jurors, agree with said finding so far as the cause of the death of the

Oxford, Huntington Ave.where he is Room Clerk.\u2014 Mr.Ernest Pocock, an assistant foreman in the Stark Cotton Mills at Manchester, N.H., and Mr.Thomas Blakeley, Superintendent of the same mills, are visiting in this vicinity.\u2014 The valuators at Rock Island were on duty the first of the week.We are informed that the valastion of several properties were increased considerably, while a few were decreased.We trust that their work will be satisfactory to all concerned.\u2014 An occident occurred on the \u201cSpur\u201d ou Friday night to the train backing up from the Junction.It ap- bears that two three-years-old colts belonging 10 the Stewart estate had cs- caped from their pasture through an Open gate in the railway fence ; as the train renched the curve nearest Beebe Plain, it overtook the colts killing them both and derailing the car and tender.Fortunately the engineer, by the speedy application of brakes, pre- Vented a fall (lat probably would have killed or wounded all on board.Had Bol the company better comply with the law in regard to backing trains?\u2014 During the trotiing races at Sherbrooke on Thursday, one of the riders was thrown from his gig, and his horse started on a wild run, but fortunately did not leave the track.A plucky young.groom seized a blanket and as the Loree was dashing past him threw it over his head, blinding the horse, so that he was easily caught.\u2018The driver eseaped with a few seratch- es.\u2014 Mr.Eugene Cowles, of the Bos- tonians, sang & bass solo from \u2018The Creation,\u201d in place of a hymn, at the Congregational

assisted by Miss Lizzie Pierce, Soprano, and Prof.Fasolt, organist.Mr.Charles Holmes played a fine Violin solo.The entertainment was enjoyed by a large and appreciative audience.\u2018The selections were all of a high character, suitable to the day and the occasion.\u2014 At the annual meeting ot the Massawippi Valley Railway Company beld on Wednesday, September 7th- 1892, at Rock Island, Que., the fol, lowing named persons were chosen directors of the Corporation for the ensuing year:\u2014Robert N.Hall, Sherbrooke ; Stephen Foster, Stanstead; W.Wiite, Sherbrooke; C.H.Kath- an, Stanstead ; W.K.Blodgett, Boston; Oscar Edwards, Springfield; Amos Barnes, Boston; Alden Spear, Boston ; James H.Williams, Bellows Falls.At a subsequent meeting of the directors the following officers were elected :\u2014 Robert N.Hall, Presideut ; Stephen Foster, Vice-President ; J.H.Williams, Treasurer ; Jobu G.Foster, Secretary.\u2014 Those who witnessed the trial of the new water works at Rock Island on Saturday afternoon were surprised as well as delighted.A single hose was first attached to the hydrant near the JourNAL Office, and a powerful stream of water was sent high into the air.When about half turned off shingles were lifted on the roofs of neighboring buildings.Two hose were next attached to the same hydrant, and streams from each went upward to an estimated height of 100 feet.At present only the reservoir first constructed is available, and this will be entirely abandoned as soon as the pipe are laid to the new one which Mr.Caswell has had constructed this summer.The latter reservoir, unlike the first, is uncovered.It is substantially built of stone and has a capacity of 240,000 gallons.It is located in a pasture on the Chase farm, a short distance East of the residence of Mr.Allbee, and has an clevation of 65 feet over the reservoir first constructed.It is protected by a bigh board fence with barbed wire on the top, and has à driveway entirely around it.As is well-known, it is eupplied with an abundance of water from pure springs.Aside from its utility for general purposes, the fire protection afforded hy Mr.Caswell\u2019s enterprise is a great boon to the citizens of the \u2018Three Villages.\u201d \u2014 Some of the good people of Derby Line, Stanstead and Rock Island, went to Cedarville-on-the-Lake on Saturday for a pic-nic and an outing.The day was fine, the boating good and the viands first class.Fun and jollity prevailed and the party enjoyed the trip very much.Cedarville is one of the pleasantest points on the lake, and bids fair to become more of a summer resort than in the past.Capt.J.C.Bullis l:as erected a very neat cottage in his cedar grove intended for summer boarders, which he kindly allowed the party to use for dining purposes aud also furnished such table equipment as {he guests lacked.It was a pleasant occasion and the guests all seemed to enjoy it immensely.Mr.Covell, a gentl:man from New York, has purchased the large house built by J.H.Merrill, and will occupy it next summer.His purchase will prodably induce other city people: to purchase property in the vicinity, aud it is not improbable that Cedar- ville

many fields of grain were badly lodged.Judge Foster, of Knowlton, recently gave a free ride by rail to the parents and children of this and all Sunday Schools on this circuit, to Luw- rence and return, where they held a pic-nic in a grove near by.The day was fine, and all enjoyed the treat very much, and the excellent speeches recitations, &ec.Many thanks are due the worthy judge for his kindness to the children, many of whom then enjoyed their first ride on the cars.Mr.Brookhouse of Georgeville took tke photos of the crowd to present to Mr.Foster, and any one else can have one by purchasing.Who would not be a Sunday School scholar?During the storm on Wednesday the lightning had full play with telephones in a number of houses bere.The instrument at George Bowker\u2019s was smashed, and it was almost a miracle that the family was not injured.(The above would have appeared earlier but was accidentally mislaid.) ~P.D.Beebe Plain.A very serious accident happened at one of the Stanstead Granite Co.\u2019s quarries last week, whereby à Mr.F.Caron lost his life.He was employed shovelling earth from off the granite ledge when the bank above came down upon him.He was extricated in a few minutes, but was so severely injured that be only lived about an hour.A coroner's inquest was held the next morning.The evidence taken cleared the company of any blame in the matter, as their foreman had warned him that there was danger and not to work in that place.H.S.Beebe is at home.Mr.Langmayd has bought the B.A.Gage property and will soon start a bakery.Frank Chamberlain has bought the Georgeville stage route and teams of H.Bigelow.Frank is just the man for the place.From another correspondent, A very pleasing cntertainment was given by Mrs.A.H.Christopher, assisted by her nephew, Master Eddie Mealy, io the Methodist Church here last Thursday evening, The program consisted of a variety of recitations and music, vocal and instrumental.Among the musical selections might be mentioneed \u2018\u2018The Storm at Sea,\u201d in which, as in several other pieces, Mrs.Christopher gave her audience an opportunity of listening to such music as very few succeed in bringing out of the cabinet organ, while her rich, clear voice gave most wonderful expression to the words of the song.Ia recitation Mrs.Christopher aims to clevate and instruct, as well as to amuse.It is not necessary to particularize where the whole program was selected with such good taste and performed with such marked ability.Master Eddie\u2019s skillful handling of |e the violin showed that the small boy can do a great deal in the way of giving pleasure to others.w.C.T.U.Mrs.McLaughlin the Provincial Secretary of W.C.T.U.writes urging the Unions of Stanstead County to add their contributions to those of other temperance societies to swell the amount needed to present the claims of temperance at the great Prohibition Commission enquiry \u2014the giant farce of the season\u2014and yet, farce though it is conceded to be, it is necessary that the temperance fund should be raised and the best evidence possible be furnished.Let us not be behind the other societies, but send on our offerings to the Provincial Treasurer, Mrs.Leet, 47 Albion St., Montreal.It is expected that Miss Barber, the Dominion and Provincial Superintend- ont of Social Purity, will hold a week or more of meetings in Stanstead County during the latter part of September.Those Unions desiring her will do well to write her at once at Knowlton, Que.Mies Barber is a white-souled, earnest worker, whose timo, talent and strength is being freely offered up on the altar of convention.She is a pleasing speaker and can not fail to arouse interest.She will probably come to Magog for her first meetings and her further route is not decided as there is yet a litte uncertainty about her visit.Persons troubled with chronic diar- thea should try Chamberlain\u2019s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhea remedy.Man cases have been cured by it after all else had failed and skilled physicians were powerless.For sale by J.T.Flint, Druggist.An old soldier, cams out of the War greatly enfeovled by Typhoid Fever, and alter being in various hospitals the doctors discharged him as incurable with Comsumeption.Ho has been in poor health since, until he began to take Hood\u2019s Sarsaparilla Immediately his cough grew looscr, night sweats ceased, and he regained good general health.He cordially recommends Hood's Sarsaparilla, especially to comrades in the G.A.B.HOODS PILLS cure Habitual Constipation by restoring peristaltic action of the alimentary cansl.NEW STOCK JUST ARRIVED!

They're just peeping over in the hollow now.The moment they're fairly in it, I give the word.\u201d Twenty\u2014thirty seconds of breathles.silence.Then a quick gesture; a quick, low toned, but imperative \u201cGol Go they did, skimming over the pool i the narrow ducking under the opposite bank; carbines in-hand, revolvers at the hip, cartridges gleaming in every belt; and afta thom, leaping, yet bending low, went Brewster.Another moment and they reached ibe mouth of the ravine, burst through the powdery drift, and then, Brewster leading, eyes everywhere, almost oa all foars.they scurried along half way up the opposite slope, keeping well ander the crest and just at the edge of the deepdrifts totheir right.Fifty\u2014 they made their rapid way, then around a little bend and among and mounds of glistening, ing white there rose an odd- shaped heap, only a trifle higher than its fellows, and from the midst of it there projected a dingy, whity-brown canvas, slanting to the north, and with starting her mother\u2019s clasping arms, blinded for an instant by the glare of radiant sunshine, barely able as yet to rally from the stupor like slumber into which she had fallen, heard her name called in the joyous tones she knew so well and saw her lover, a stalwart, glowing, rejoicing young snow god, all sparkling with the white crystals, all glistening in the glo- vious beams, gazing upon her with a Jove light in his brave blue eyes that wrought instant glow to her own wan and pallid cheek.And then, before she could even speak, before her mother could emerge from the enfolding robes, a shout was heard, then the sudden ring of a rifle shot, followed instantly by an- sther, the spat as of 4 whiplash on the canvas top.Something tore its w.through the roof and front with spite! \u201cDown! down upon the floor! both of you, quick! shouted Brewster, as he slammed the door, and the next instant they beard the order in his ringing tomes, half stifled in the snow, \u201cFire, men! Keep \u2018em off! Firef\u201d They heard the quick bang! bang! of carbines close at hand, the prompt re- sponee of rifles distant as were the first, tho whistle of lead through the icy air, the shrill yells of battling Indians, the furious gallop of bounding hoofs.Everywhere to their front the rapid fre increased.More yells, partly of trinmph, partly summoning additional warriors to the spot, then the muffled beat of coming hoofs, and in the midst of it all Brewster's stern voice, calm and steady: \u201cAim well, men, but fire lively.Don't let them again get so close as to have a shot at the wagon.Watch that above all.\u201d Two\u2014three minutes the sound of battle raged about them,increasing at the front.À soldier voice was heard tosay: \u201cThere's more of them coming, sir.You can see them down there to the east.\u201d And Mrs.Berrien's heart grew faint with fear.Winifred had buried her face upon her breast and closed her ears to the horrid sounds.And then, all on a sudden, the yells of the charging Indians seemed to grow fainter, then sounds of dismay aroee among them, then the cries were drowned in the clatter of ironshod hoofs and the chorus of soldier cheers.Murphy and his little squad came whirling up the bank, and Mrs.Berrien's heart poured forth in praise and thanksgiving at the joyous Milesian hail: *To hell wid em, tellers! Sure all B throop\u2019s comin\u2014not two miles behind!\u201d \u201cOk, God! My little ones!\u201d There was silence and anxiety in the long range of winter camps about the agency.The Twelfth were gone, nobody knew just where; but over to the north, over toward those frowning \u201cBad Lands\u201d\u2014all the more wild and treacherous now that the snow had filled every rift and crevice, for the jagged surface was ono mass of pitfalls\u2014other battal- fons of horse were also gone, and the vigilant watch over those Indians still clustering about their old haunts in the valloy was redoubled.The heavier guns of the fleld battery commanded the smoky lodges, the lighter pieces were away with the cavalry.The infantry, muffled to their eyebrows, manned the rifle pits and guard line and threw their sheltering wings over the deserted camps.For good or for ill, the crisis was at hand.Whatsoever doubt had existed as to the almost universal hostility of the Sioux was banished by the upon the scouts and couriers at the Porcupine, and, lastly, the affair at the Wolf, in which Brewster a second time had gained distinction, all pointed unerringly to one conclusion: whatsoever might be their assurances to officials high in rank, to agents whose power would be at end were war to ensue, to self constituted framers of public opin.jon, every soldier on the spot knew, and well knew, that the Indians would be peaceable only in preeence of a formidable force of blueconta, but that nothing but ambush snd massacre awaited the whites who ventured forth unguarded.Up to this moment, however, of all those gathered at the scene the omly troops which had had actual collision with the Sioux were of Berrien's battalion.Far away south at the Pawnee old Kenyon had been doing his utmost to still the anxious fears among the families of the abeent soldiers.There had been lively excitement when the papers arrived giving sensational details of Ber- rien\u2019s wound and of the affair at the Porcupine, but it was as nothing to that which prevailed over the tidings of the jmminent peril in which Mrs.Berrien and Winifred had been placed.That it was just like Mrs.Berrien to insist on joining her wounded husband at once was conceded by all, but opinions dif- faved as to the propriety of her course in have stayed at home.\u201d And thea came the dread news that a great band from the northeast, reinforced by a reckless gang of fanatical oung ghost dancers from the Bad Lande, had broken away, and that all the regiments had gone to head them off.Par, without a fight, they could not go.The question was which regiment would be the first to meet tham.Then the next night's mail brought the next day's papers, and the Twelfth, having swung loose and being absent from the neigh borbood whence wero derived the items on which correspondents based their reports and editors their comments, shared the usual fate of the atwentee, and having sustained the only casualties and in- fiicted the only punishments yet heard of about the agency, was now coming in for ita share of the \u2018\u2018tonjours tort\u201d to which it was, of course, justly entitled.Kenyon first glared at and then exploded over a dispatch which read somewhat as follows: +All hope of bloodless solution of the iificulty is now at an end.Even the most peacefuily disposed among the reservation Indians are furions over what they do not hesitate to term the slangh- ter of their clansmen in the three affairs that have recently occurred, and it is an open secret that at general headquarters the gravest anuvyance is felt over the total overthrow of carefully laid plans, all caused by the injudicious conduct of certain hot headed officers of cavalry.The friends of White Wolf, the principal \u2018brave\u2019 shot by Major Berrien\u2019s troopers, declaro that he ani those with him were friendly and were only striving to reach the major with the news that couriers were coming, hoping thereby to earn something to eat, for they were cold and bungry when they were fired on withott warning, and even while making signals of peace and friendship White Wolf was slain.Then the Brales who were with them could not be restrained and attacked the couriers in revenge.\u201cAs for the affair at Wolf creek after the blizzard there is unspoken dennncia- tion among the Indians, and the \u2018damnation of faint praise\u2019 in other quarters of the conduct of a cavalry officer present.The Indians declare they had gone out only to gather up their ponies.Thesight of the mules told them there must be an ambulance stalled somewhere in the drifts, and they were eagerly searching for it to render succor and aid when they were fired upon from ambush by the lieutenant and his men, and two of their ponies were killed and one young Indian shot through the leg.The Indians declare they could casily have killed Major Berrien, but merely strove to defend themselves and explain, and that had they been hostile they could have finished the lieutenant aud his little squad at the Wolf creek crossing long before reinforcements came.Altogether, there is something so plausible in their statements that it is anderstood that the conduct both of the major and at least one of his subalterns will be made the subject of official investigation.\u201d \u201cWell, well, weil\u201d said Kenyon.\u201cThank God I'm not serving a grateful nation in the heart of the Indian country.It's bad enough to be shot and worse to be lied about, and that is all the comfort there is in being a cavalryman, if I do say it who am nothing but a cross grained old crank of a doughboy.If this is what the Twelfth is to get for \u2018a mere affair of outposts,\u201d what the devil will be said of them if they should get tuto a regular pitched battle?Here, Mr.Adjutaut, dump that paper in the fire, and don't let a woman at the post know anything about it.Know it already?How the mischief could they?\" \u2018There were half a dozen of them, sir, at Mrs.Hazlett\u2019s reading another copy of that paper aslcamedown.And poor Mrs.Thorpe is crying hereyesout.She's been utterly upset since the news came that the Twelfth had been sent out.Good God, sir, she's coming in now!\u201d It was indeed poor Mrs.Thorpe who entered, pallid, her eyelids swollen with weeping.Old Kenyon was on his feet in an instant and leading her to a chair.\u201cMy dear madam, my dear madam,\u201d he Legan, *\u2018you must not give way so.1 assure you there is no cause for such dread and anxiety.Do strive to control yourself.\u201d \u201cI cannot! oh, Major Kenyon, ! cannot! 1 have been through so much, such fearful scenes!\u201d she sobbed, wringing her nervous hands, rocking to and fro in an agony of grief.\u201cOh, it is easy for those who have not lived the life we had to live in the old days to counsel patience, calmness.I was only a child then, kneeling at my mother\u2019s side when the news came in that widowed half the women in the post.I spent my girlhood in the regiment.How many are left of the officers who were so good to me then?Mother was only one of a dozen whose hearts were broken\u2014Ubroken as, oh, God! I feel mine is to be.They took my father long years ago, now they demand my husband, my babies\u2019 father, my all, their all! O God! O God!\u201d \u2018Sobbing, rocking to and fro iu her uncontrollable grief, the poor girl clung to Kenyon's hand, and the old fellows eyes blinked and smarted with the tears he could not quite force back.He laid the other hand upon her bowed and swaying head.\u201cMy child,\u201d he said brokenly, \u201cfor your babies\u2019 sake try to bear up.Be your father's daughter.I knew and loved him well\u2014knew you when you rode your first pony at the old fort up the Missouri.You know well I wouldn't try to deceive you.I can't think the Twelfth is to bear the brunt of this business.They don't belong in that department at all.They are only borrowed from here, and surely there are troops enough there, more than enough, to overawe that pestilent gang.All that is necessary will be to surround the Indians, let them see what a force we have, and they'll knuckle down.Don't cry so, Mrs.Thorpe; don't cry, my child.Let me take you over home now.Just get the little ones around you tonight, and I'll bring over some famous oranges- that came today, and\u2014why, I don't believe the Twelfth will have to pull another trigger.Think how many other regiments and commands there are there.\u201d *I do, 1 do, and 1 pray and pray, but no comfort comes.Did you ever know a time when they were not in the thick of the fight?Did you ever hear of any tire when the loss did not fall heaviest on us?\u201d * «Don't tbink of that now,\" he pleaded.\u201cDon\u2019t borrow trouble from either past r future.Come, let me take yon home, ere\u2019s à good girl.I tell you if that d hasn't surrendered they've scattered all over creation, and you can no more catch them than you can\u2014than you can\u2014a newspaper lie.That's the strongest simile I can think of.Did you bear what they were saying about Ber- rien and Brewster?he queried, eager to divert her thoughts from her own misery.\u201cIl did.[Isn't it cruel?But Major Berrien has his wife and Winnie with him, and they're bringing him home; pat poor George is shot, what can \u201cDo?Why, you shall go right to hit if 1 have to give myself a seven days\u2019 leave and take you.\u201d And so, soothing, veteren major led her home to her wos- dering brood, to the laughing, crowing baby leaping in the nurse's tion for the loved father, the devoted husband, the gallant soldier who that very day hae fought bis last fight und lay lifeless on the frozen sod.Over the eastward biuffs, cold and gray, the morning light had slowly crept to the zenith.Over the sky was spread one limitless pall of cloud, cheerless and repellent\u2014a pall so dense that mot une friendly star had peeped, not one rift of sunshine now could force its way.All beluw, bleak, frowning and sullen, a bare and blasted landscape; low hills and ridges cast and west, luw lying shallow and swale between, cheerless, tree less, shrubless, not even a v.! of snow to hide its nakedness, to lend one pitying touch to break the dull, dead vLicuut- ony of its wintry desolation; sweepe and slopes rolling away unbroken to the frowning horizon at the west, sterner, harsher lizes among the bluffs across the tortuous stream bed, between whose ragged banks an icy, lonely and dismai rivalet is curdling now, spreading out into frozen shallows at the flats, moaning and complaining around its warped and sudden bends, desolate as the surrounding desolation, deserted as the Dead sea, its bauks repellent even to such sharers of Dakota solitudes as the coyote and the cottonwood, shunned of wan or beast or tree\u2014a stream of silence and gloom at the dawn of this December day, and so cheerless is its every surrounding, so appalling the unnatural hush, that one would never dream ot life upon its Llasted banka.Yet, listen! Unseen, but dominant.the sun has risen above the eastern hills, and, as the light broadens even where it cannot warm, there floats upon the air from far away at the southwest, faint and clear, & cavalry trumpet call; soft at first, then crescendo, it ceases suddenly in shrill high note.It thrills through and through a rare atmosphere unruffled by the fleeting wing of hardiest bird.Like the wistful call of scattered quail it seems to say, \u2018Where are you?\u201d And prompt, expectant of the cowing of faithful mate, listen again! From the dim recesses to the north, somewhere among these bare and desolate slopes, the answer rises, quick, ringing, even imperative, and the signal reads, \u201cThis way.\u201d Groping through the bitter darkness of the December night a cavalry column has sought and, just at the opening of this cheerless December day, has found its mate.The comrade battalions of the Twelfth are within hail.\u201cForward!\u201d rings the signal from the southwest.Forward with then, then, around that point at the low bluff to our front, and in the ghostly, gathering Light the ecene is before ns, the tale is almost told.There, thickly dotting the prairie and covering the low ground, its wigwams smoke begrimed and dingy, lies an Indian encampment; but even in such shelter as this the hostile horde has fared far better than they who through the long, freezing night have kept watch aud ward lest again the wary chief should slip through the meshes.It has come at last, The big warrior\u2019s fanatical braves have made their rush, Ber- rien's men the tackle.Back flew the signal with the setting sun.Up through the night came Farquhar with \u2018\u2018the guards.\u201d Here in front the four old troops we know 50 well have shivered for hours about the village.Here, alert and determined, Rolfe and Hazlett, Thorpe and Gorham, have clung to front, flank and rear, well knowing that so soon as the colonel got the news he would not only speed the second battalion on its way.but, gatheriuz any other forces he could find, would ride the long night through, if need were, to join his men, Stern and silent Rolfe is standing at the bank of the stream, wearied enough, yet certain that there is no rest before them.On him as senior the command has devolved in the absence of the beloved major now being teuderly nursed and comfortably trundled homeward in the warm iuterior of a Pullman.No excitement, no cheer attenda the coming of the column now at steady, soldicrly fait winding into the shallow depression.Rolfe knows that without Farquhar and his re-enforcements attack upon or interference with s0 formidable a band would be worse than desperation.He knows that with Farquhar his own position will be only that of subordinate, and that he must obey.He knows how, were he supreme, 8 thousand troopers at his back, he would conduct matters now.But Farquhar is a soldier long accustomed both to obedience and to command; Rolfe is ono to whom obedience comes with laggard grace, to whom command is opportunity for lavish vent of his imperious will.Orders or no orders, if ho had the power he would deal death to the rabid renegades beforehim.Orders to \u201cbring on the I'liuns, but not bring on a fight,\u201d to his thinking are orders like those which shold forbid a man's going to water unt'l he had learned to swim.Orders to disarm but not molest are simply something to be laughed to scorn.When were the Sioux ever known to surrender those precious arms?Such things when reported in years gone by turned out to be as rusty shams as the arms turned in.RoFo was in mood as sullen as the morn, and the signe about the now bustling village were not to his liking.Over among the tepees blanketed squaws were scurrying about, their shrill voices suppressed, but their black eyes flashing hatred at the silent squads of troopers, carnines ready in hand, watching every move within the ganarded lines.Young women and boys were belaboring the gaunt and dejected ponies.Eacer gestures and low exclamations called atteution to the coming force, and in groups the warriors, shronded to the very lips in their heavy robes, stood or ksat in council; but all the while, darting from point to point with fierce declamatory gesture, went Mephisto himself in the Indian \u201cmedicine man.\u201d Mark! wheresoever he goes eager ears are bent to hear his exhortation.\u201cMy God! why can't I arrest him at least?With that old scoundrel done for the rest might not be so hard,\u201d i3 Rolfe\u2019s impatient exclamation.«Simpiy becanse the attempt would lead to instant fight,\u201d is Hazlett's cool reply.\u201cBut, man, he\u2019s putting them up to organized resistance, He's giving them some instructions now; you can sce it just as well as I do.\u201d \u201cWho doesn't?but*\u2014 A suggestive shrug of the shoulders indicates the brother captain's opinion.\u201cYom know tho old saying, Rolfe, \u2018Ours not to make reply \u201d \u201cWho's in command of thoec advanced men fronting that part of the village?\u201d asks Rolfe after a moments gioomy pause.\u201cBrewster.Don'tyonsee?He'stalk ing with Sergeant Ellis there now.\u201d Rolfe grinds his heavy boot beel into the frosted bunch grass not more harshly than he grinds his teeth.en! Hazlett, boar me witness to this.for there's no telling how things will tarn out today.If I had my way those two men would have been brought to book and made to explain instead of having poets of bonor here.Farquhar refused to listen to another word on the subject until we got home again; then it may be wo late.\u201d ~Well-l, ] can\u2019t understand what you have against them both or either,\u201d is Hazlett's reply.\u2018And I can't explain here or now, but wait till we're home again, Hazlett, if we ever get there.\u201d Farther down to the left two other troup commanders havo been watching the symptoms amoung the swarming ludges.\u201cThere'll be the devil's work this day, Thorpe,\u201d says Gorham at last with gloomy brow, And Thorpe only bows his head.Three hours later Luk upon the scene.The ojæn prairie on the hither side of the village is no longer tenantless, a8 it was at dawn.Two parallel lines con- frout each other there.In («.yged submission to the orders of their captors and the mandate of the big white chief which has been laid before them, silent, sullen, muffled to the eyes in dingy robe or blanket, the braves have slowly moved out from their lurking places among the tepees and shufiled down the gentle slope until well away from the outskirts of their town, and just in front of a long, silent rank »f dismounted troopers they squat upon the ground.No word is spoken by either side.Here crouch the savage leaders of the hostile tribe, and, in long extended line, scores of their fiercest und bravest.Others still lurk among the squaws and lodges.Others peer with glittering, walignant eyes from under heaps of foul smelling robes or parfleches.Those in the outing glance but furtively at the blue line before them.They are silent as the dead, yct the war cry trembles on their lips.They wait, but wait expectant.They crouch, but it is the tiger's crouch, ready for a spring.The word has been passed that all arms must be surrendered, and every arm is there, ready, hidden, but \u201cwith the lightning sleeping in it.\u201d Back among those brown, dingy tepees, breathless with excitement, squaws are scurrying to and fro; children are being huddled sway to the farther side.\u201cLook at that, Curly,\u201d mutters Warren under his frozen mustache, as he passes rapidly along in rear.\u201cIsn't that enough to show they mean mischief?\u201d Some of the Indian polico and interpreters are still searching for warriors in hiding.Yet has not the old chief bowed his as- gent to the orders and given his directions that his people ehould comply?Nothing must be, can be done so long as the Indian makes no overt move.The dismounted men of two troops are in long single rank.Some of the men shiver a little, for cold and excitement are telling now, as in many cases overcoats have been thrown aside, but brave men tremble ofttimes until the first shot comes, and then the nervous strain is gone, for the hot blood leaps and tingles ; through the veins.Back some distance the horse herders are aligned.Off to the flanks and rear comrade troops gaze silently on the scene.From the crest vf a low bluff the black muzzle of the Hotchkiss gnn peers from its knot of watchful batterymen.Farquhar, vigilant and grave, has just sent Warren with other orders.A halfbreed Indian steps forth, as though to carry its import to the chicf.At him the cyes of the old maniac of a medicine man glare with tigerish fury.He lowers his feathered head.He crouches.Then, suddenly, a catlike leap, a wild yell.Off goes every blanket, as though hurled Ly the explosion from within.In simultaneous crash the flame and lead Have leaped upon the trooper line, and now through the veiling smoke every Indian is fighting like a demon.Duwn goes many a sturdy soldier, veteran scrgeant, brave faced boy.The line reels with the sudden shoek, but in an instant men like Thorpe and Drews- ter and Randolph leap forward among the men and their voices ring with the clamor of lLattle.DBack up the slope, scurrying, stoopii:g low, firing.dropping in their tracks, the Indians are making for the she!l*er of their tepees\u2014for the skirts of the suaws.What Sioux woman fears to die in defense of her brave?What Sicux warrior disdains to shield himself from foeman's blow and to shoot from the covert of the sheltering form of his devoted wife?\u201cFur Gul's sake, men, head \u2018em off! Don't let them back among the women,\u201d is the vell.But Indian tactics, stooping to anything, stopping at nothing, are to» much for men trained to fight only as soldiers and gentlemen.Already squaws are rushing forward, knife and revolver in hand.Already the hidden savages are firing from under tent or travois, Already a score of the best and bravest of the Twelfth have bit the dust, Carly Brewster's arm is smashed by rifle beet let; Thorpe, cheering on his men, heading them in their rapid return fire plunges suddenly to earth with one gasp ing cry, \u2018Oh.God! My little ones! Ruoife, riding like mad a dozen yards ahead of his men in wild effort to cut off the backward move, tumbles in senseless heap at tho very feet of a knife wielding fury of a woman, who is only laid low jnst as her clutch is on his hair, her gleaming biade at his throat.Aye, on this bleak and barren and cheerless field, under these leaden skies, beside the black waters, streake:l how with enrdling red the Lattle fiend is loose; there is, indeed, \u201cthe devil\" work this day,\u201d but where the blame lies as between the soldier who must fight cr die and those who, far and near, cast and west, so promptly lashed him as squaw shooter, babe slayer, 1ot the God of battles decide.CHAPTER XIV.if \u201cITowc\u2019's the arm today, Ellis?A month later and Holden has his vounded safely honsed under the roof of the hospital at old Pawnee, many severely shattered or suffering great pain.Many will bear to their dying day mementos of that savage December battle.Some of the twoscore are doing very well; othera perhaps have dono better, and aro sleoping under the flag.A busy man is Holden, and a very proud one, as he has the right to be, for one and all the troopers love to speak of him as their \u2018fighting sawbones.\u201d Ho was in the thick of it all when the rush of the rearward mounted troops swept into and through those fire spitting lodges, and the Inliams\u2014warriors, squaws and children\u2014were scattering, fighting filercely all the way to the shelter of tho ravines among the bluffs.Tiroless as over be and his assistants are constantly at the LedsiCes of the wounded.Bo is the chaplain, one of the church ' The Genuine Merit | Of Hood's Barsaparilia wins friends where- ever it is fairly and honestly trial.Its militant, whose \u201csoul's in arms and Proprietors are highly gratitied at the let- eager for the fray,\u201d for his friends of the Twelfth are under two fires.Gallantly and well have they withstood that which, with sudden treachery at the hands of their savage foes, flashed in their very faces.But they have no redrees as against this\u2014this civilized lashing at their very backs.The parsons sermon Sunday morning in answer to the driveling sentimentality of cee.tain misguided ecclesiastics far from the scene of conflict almost lifted old Kenyon and his comrades out of their seats.The major hugged his chaplain after service and stopped to shake hands with him every time he met him during the afternoon.In many a pulpit east of the Missouri with tearful fervor was the picture drawn o?those helpless, pleading Indian mothers, those shricking, terrified little Indian babes, ruthlessly slaughtered by a brutal and infuriated soldiery.Nor were the clergy without warrant for their \u2018bottom facts,\u201d since in some mysterious way the representatives of tho press, hovering about that imyx-rsonal section of military anatomy known as headquarters, were flooding the columns of their journals with paragraphs about the wanton killing of women and children in the fight in front of the Twelfth.\u201cHoly Joe,\u201d us the parson had been termed, knew well the day when, in the seclusion and simplicity of his seminary life, he would have swallowed whole just such statements and turned up the whites of his eyes in sympathetic horror at the recital.But the man of God on the banks of the Merrimac and his brother in the cross on the upper Missouri see very different sides of the vexing Indian question.\u201cHoly Joe\u201d at Pawnee this sparkling month of January was mad clear through at the indignities and aspersions cast upon his blue- coated comrades.He wrestled with the brethren of his cloth and downed them.He even dared to establish a censorship of the press and to keep from the hands of his precious wounded those journals which had assailed the Twelfth.He had had his hands full, poor fellow, long before the wounded came, for those were dire days and nights after the news was flashed to the post and the widowed and fatheiless in their affliction were thrown upon his hands.Poor Mrs.Thorpe! Ah, she was only one of several.There was wailing among the wives and little ones down where once the soldiers\u2019 families were so thickly clustered.There were other households in dread anxiety.There were wemen broken down with grief and sleepless watching, There was one so ill she could not even now be told she would never look upon the face of her gallant soldier again.But draw the veil.It was on such bleeding hearts and op the men who bore the brunt of the fiercest fighting of the campaign that the lash of press and pulpit fell.But old Kenyon was in his element.To the best and kindliest of men there is in being able to say \u201cDidn't I tell you 807\" a joy thas surpasses the sweets of religious consolation.It was something to hear him declaiming among the artillery and infantry officers during the days that followed tho announcement of official investigation at the expense of the Pawnee battalions.\u201cWhy, gentlemen,\u201d said he, \u2018I have never ceased to thank God 1 didu't tuke the chance for promotion that came in the reorganization twenty years ago.I wasone of the senior captains of infantry then.Icould have got one of those cavalry vacancies just as well as not\u2014been a yellow major ten years before the leaves dropped on my choulders in the blue; hut if by any chance 1 were ordered into the dragoons today I'd swap out or quit for good.From the time those Bloods and Piegans got their deserved thrashing at tho hands of Tim Baker's battalion I've known enough to steer clear of it.You know those facts as well asI do.You know those Indians had been murdering.robbing, burning, pillaging, for two years.You know how all Montana begged and implored General Sheridan to put a stop to it.There was no catching them until winter, and then when be sent those Second cavalry fellows up there with orders to thrash sheol out of them, what was the result?Didn't the papers east and west turn to and damn him and them?Didn't they dub him \u2018Piegan Phil\u2019 from that time forth?No, gir, no cavalry service for me.There's only one thing harder than the knocks that they have been getting for the last twenty years on the frontier, and that's the knocks they've had to bear at home.\u201d But toward the end of January the old post was beginning to pluck up heart again, and to the keen delight of Mrs.Berrien and Winifred their particular major was able to drive with them, bundled ap in his furs, and lolling hack in the cushions of Berengaria\u2019s barouche, as he termed his wife's comfortable carriage, with that rejoicing matron by his side distributing smiles and sunshine and joyous nods of recognition wherever sho went, everybody waving hand or hat or handkerchief as they bowled along, and Winifred\u2014bonny Winifred\u2014beam- ing upon her father from the front seat.Very, very sweet Miss Berrien was looking just now, said all who saw her; yet there was a shade of wistfulness in her face, a constant expression about those deep, dark eyes that seemed to tell they wero ever on watch for one who never came.Shattered as was his saber arm, Curly Brewster bad scoffed at the idea of being sent back to Pawnee.{TC BE CONTINUED.)
