Whereas, by the present Constitu- [Coi.espondeuce of the Hudson Star.] Xndiali Trailers—Their Astonishing Powers. U. S. A. Post Hospital, Ft Randall, / Dacotah Territory, Feb. 12, 1869. ) The most extraordinary skill that is exhibited in this part of the .country, either by the white man or red native, is in the practice of trailing. Here it may be accounted an art as much as music, or painting, or sculpture is in the East. The Indian or trapper that is a shrewd trailer, is a man of close observation, and what he sees and hears, he accounts for immediately. Often not another step is taken until a mysteiy that may present itself in this line is fairly solved. The Indian trail er will stand still for hours in succes sion to account for certain traces or ef fects in tracks, and sometimes give to the matter unremitting attention for days and weeks. The trailer is not a graceful man. He carries his head much inclined, his eye is quick and restless, always on the watch, and he is practicing his art un consciously, hardly ever crossing the track of man or animal without seeing it. When he enters a house he brings the practice of his art with him. 1 know a trailer as soon as he enters my room. He comes in through the door softly and with an air of exceeding caution. Before he is fairly-in, or at least has sat down, he has taken note of every article and person, though there may be a dozen vacant chairs in the room. He is not used to chairs, and like Indian, prefers a more humble seat. When I was employed by Gen. Har ney last summer to take charge tem porarily of the Indians that were gath ered hereto form a new reservation, one day a guide and trailer came into the General’s headquarters. I told him to be seated. He sat down on the floor, bracing his back against the wall. The General saw this, and in vexation cried out' “My God, why don’t you lake a chair, when there are plenty here not occupied.” The man arose and seated himself in a chair, but in so awkward and uncomfortable a manner that he might slip from it any moment. But when this uncouth person came to transact his his business with the Gen eral, he turned out to be a man of no ordinary abilities. His description of a route he took as guide and trailer for the Ogallalas in bringing them from the Rlatte to this place was minute, and to me exceedingly interesting. Every war party that for the season had crossed his trail be described with minuteness as to their number, the kinds of arms they had, and stated the tribes they belonged to. In theso strange revelations that he made there was was neither imposition nor suppo sition, for lie gave satisfactory reasons for every assertion he made. I have rode several hundred miles with an experienced guide and trailer, Hack, whom I interrogated upon ma ny points in the practice of this art. Nearly all the tracks I saw, either old or new, as a novice in the art, I ques tioned him about. In going to the Ni obrara river we crossed the track of an Indian pony. My guide followed the track a few miles and then said, “It is a stray, black horse, with a long, shab by tail, nearly starved to death, has a split hoofof the left fore foot, aud goes very lame, and he passed here early this morning.” Astonished and incred ulous, I asked him the reasons for kt owing these particulars by the tracks of the animal, when he replied : “It was a stray horse, becuse it did not go in a direct line; his tail was long, for he dragged it over the snow ; injirush- ing against a bush he left some of his hair, which shows its color. He was very hungry, for, in going along he has nipped at those high, dry weeds, which horses seldom eal. The tissue of the left fore foot left, also, its track, and the depth of. the indentation shows the degree of his lameness, and his tracks show he was here this morning, when the snow was hard with frost.” At another place we came across an Indian track, and he said : “Jt is an old Yankton who came across the Mis souri last evening to look at his traps. In coming over he carried in his right hand a trap, and in his left a lasso to catch a pony which he had lost. He re turned without finding the horse, but had caugbl in the trap he had out a prairie wolf, which he carried home on his back, and a bundle ofkinikinic wood in his right hand.” Then he gave his reasons. “I know he is old by the im pression his gait has made, and a Yank ton, by that of his moccasin. He is from the other side of the river, as there are no Yanklons on this side. The trap he carried struck the snow now and then, and in the same manner as when he came, showing that he did not find his pony. A drop of blood in the centre of his tracks shows that he car ried the wolf on his back, and the kin- ikinie wood he used as a staff for sup port, and catching a wolf shows that he had traps out. “But,” I asked, “how do you know it is a wolf; why not a fox, or a covette, or even a deer f” Said he: “II it had been a fox, or a covette, or any other small game, he would have slipped the head of the an imal in his waist belt, and so carried it by his side, anil not on his shoulders,. Deer are not caught by traps, but if it had been a deer, he would not have crossed this high hill, but would have gone back by way of the ravine, and the load would have made him step still more tottering.” Another Indian track we saw twen ty miles west of this, he put this seri ous construction upon : “He is an up per Indian—a prowling horse thief— carried a double shot gun, and is a ras cal that killed some while man lately, and passed here one week ago ; for,” said he, “a lone Indian in these parts is on mischief, and generally on the look-out for horses. He had on the shoes of a white man whom he had in all probability killed, but his steps are those of an Indian. Going through the ravine, the end of his gun hit into the deep snow. A week ago we had a very warm day, and the snow being soft, he made these deep tracks; ever since it has been intensely cold weath er, which makes very shallow tracks.” I suggested that perhaps he had bought those shoes. “Indians don’t buy shoes, and if they did they would not buy them as large as these were, for In dians have very small feel. The most noted trailer ot jhis coun try was Paul Daloria, a half-breed, who died under my hands, of lndiau con sumption, last summer. I have spoken of him in a former letter. At one time I rode with him, and trailing was nat urally the subject of our conversation. I begged to trail with him an old track over the prairie, in order to learn its history. I had hardly made the propo sition, when he drew up his horse, which was at a ravine, and said, “Well, here is an old elk track. Let us get off our horses and follow it.” We followed it but a few rods, when he said it was exactly a month old, and made at two o’clock in the afternoon. This he knew', as then w*e had our last rain, and at the hour named the ground was softer than at any other time. The track before us was then made. He broke up here and there clusters of grass that lay in the path of the track, and showed me the dry ends of some, the slumps of others, and by numer ous other similar items, accounted for many circumstances that astonished me. We followed the trail over a mile. Now and then we saw that a wolf, a fox, and other animals had practiced their trailing instincts on the elk’s tracks. Here and there, he would show me where a snake, a rat, and a prairie dog had crossed the track. Nothing had followed or crossed the track that the quick eye of Daloria did not detect. He gave an ac count of the habits of all the animals that had left their foot-prints on tbe track, also of the state of the weather, since the elk passed, and the effect of sunshine, winds, aridity, sand storms, and other influences that had a bear ing on these tracks. The old man, like all trailers, was reticient, but on this occasion, seeing I was interested, became especially com municative. DR. HACHENBERG. A ROYAL QUARTETTE An Irishman happening to be in Par is a short time ago, while three crown ed heads of Europe were lher$ on a visit to his Imperial Majesty, Napoleon These distinguished persons were the Emperors ot Russia and Austria, and the King of Prussia. One day, hav ing thrown aside all- state ceremonial, they determined to see the sights of Lhe beautiful city on the Seine, for their own delectation, and for that purpose they resolved to go incog., so as not to be recognized by the people. Howev er, in their stroll through Paris they went astray, and meeting a gentleman ly-looking person, who happened to be an Irishman, they politely askeit him if he would kindly dirccl them to the Palais Royal. “Faith, and that I will, my boys, says Pat, at the same time taking mental photograph of the three “boys.” “This way, my hearties,” and so they were conducted to the gates of the Royal Palace, and the irishman was about bidding them farewell, when the Empeior ol Russia, interested aud pleased as much by the genuine po liteness of Pat (and what son of Erin was evei yet deficient in courtesy and and politeness ?) as b}' his naivete and witty remaiks, asked him who he was. “Well,” rejoined their guide, “I did not ask who you were, and before I answer you, perhaps you would tell me who you may be.” After some further parleying, one said, “l am Alexander, and they call me the Czar or Emperor of all the Russias.” “Indeed,” said Pat, with a roguish twinkle in the corner of his eye, and an incredulous nod of the head (as much as to say, “This boy is up to codding me a bit.”) “And might I make bold enough to ask who you be, my flower ?” “They call me Francis Joseph, the Emperor of Austria.” “Most happy to make your acquaint ance, Frank, my boy,” says the Irish man, who, thinking be was hoaxed, and in his despairing efforts to get the truth, as he conceived, out of any of them, turned to the third one, and said, “Who are you r” “They call me Frederick William, and I am King of Prussia.” They then reminded him that he had promised to tell them who he was, and after some hesitation, and with a mys terious ait of confidence, his band to his Rather Oblivious.—At a reviv excitement in Connecticut, a respecta ble old lady was struck with convic tion and became a convert, and was pro posed for membership of the church. There was a meeting held for tbe ex amination of the candidates, of whom there were several in attendance. “Well, my dear sister Rogers,” said the venerable examiner, addressing our venerable friend, “please relate your experience.” The old lady, on being thus address ed, lifted up her voice.- “Well,” said she, “I don’t know what to say, as I told my husband, Mr. Rogers, before I came here, but I believe 1 have experienced a . change, as I told Mr. Rogers, my husband, af ter I came home from meeting, when I became convinced that I was the most sinful creature in the world, as I told my husband, Mr. Rogers, and says he, “I think so too.” Then 1 told Mr. Rogers, my husband, I was going to lead a different life—was going to trim my lamp, and have it burning again the bridegroom come. Then Mr. Rog ers, my husband, said he didn’t see what I wanted of another, but be didn’t make no objection. Then I told Mr. Rogers, my husband, that I would join the church, and prepare myself for the place where the worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched; and my hus band, Mr. Rogers, told me I’d better.

ReiharTcable Fight Between Two Braves— Determined Bravery of the Combatants— The War Whoop and Fatal Shot. Those who are under the impression that Indians possess no personal brav ery, and that their only prowess with deadly weapons is when they hold the vantage ground, either among them selves or in warfare against the whites, would have been disabused of this im pression could they have witnessed one of the bravest and most thrilling enactments of a tragedy, the equal of which, perhaps has never taken place within the bounds of Montana. An In dian duel took place near Mr. Hoiter’s saw mill, situated on Ten Mile creek, and about six miles from town, yester day afternoon, an account of which, as we were then informed, was published in the last evening’s Herald. Erom an eye witness of the bloQily affair we are in possession of further particulars, which were related to us as follows : A few Indians were in a cabin occu pied by some of the employees of the mill, when one ot them displayed his revolver, at the same time expatiating on its merits and his own extraordina ry skill in its use. This he carried to such an extent that another brave of the party exclaimed in his native longue, “Ugh, you can’t shoot!” and denounced him as a braggart, at the same time saying thathecould put him to shame at his own game. Where upon native No. I proposed a test of skill, giving his opponent the advan tage of a rifle, his favorite weapon.— This was at once acceded to, and im mediate preparations were made for a duel, in their owe peculiar style. By this time about twenty warriors had collected, and all repaired a short way from the cabin where they marked off about forty feet—the distance that was to separate the hostHe savages. Du ring these preparations, the doomed warriors looked upon each other with the most stoic indifference, and the crowd wailed tor the denoument in si lent wonder. When all w'as matfe ready, the oppor.ets took their position for the last act ; standing with their heel on the mark—back to back—one with revolver the other with his rifle. One of the natives had been selected to act as second for both ; he took bis po sition a little aside from the line of fire; waved a spear, decorated with paint and feathers, two or three limes above his head, gave the terrible war whoop, and on the instant the duelists wheeled and fired. Both fell, one shot through the brain, the other pierced to the heart. Thus ended one of the most extraordinary and tragic encounters that has ever come within our province to record.

Making Others Happy.—A moth er who was in the habit of asking her children, before they retired for the night, what they had done to make ot hers happy, found her two twin daugh ters silent. The question was repeat ed. “l ean remember nothing good all this day, dear mother ; only one ot my schoolmates was happy because she had gainecl the head of the class, and I smiled on her, and ran to kiss her ; so she said I was good. That is all, dear mother. The other spoke still more timidly. “A little girl, who sat with me on the bench at school has lost a little brother, I saw that, while she studied her lesson she hid her face in her book and wept. I telt sorry anil and laid my face on the same book and wept with her. Then she looked up and was comforted, and put her arms around my neck ; but I do not know- why she said I bad done her good.’* “Come ‘to my arms, my darlings V‘ said the mother; “to rejoice with those that rejoice and weep with those that weep, is to obey our blessed Redeem er f” * Beautiful Thought.—A writer whose life had passed its meridian, thus eloquently discourses upon the speedy flight of time : ‘‘Forty years once seemed a long and weary pilgrimage to make. It now seems but a step ; and yet along the way are broken shrines, where a thousand hopes wasted into ashes ;— footprints sacred under their drifting dust, green mounds where the grass ia fresh with the watering of tears ; shad ows even which we should not forget. We will garner the sunshine of those years, and with chastened steps and hope push on toward the twinkling where the waters are still, and th$ storms never beat,”
