Indian Trailers—tliclr Aston
ishing powers.
The most extraordinary skill that is
I exhibited in this part of tne country,
! either bv the while man or the red 11a
| tire, is in the practice of trailing.—
I Here it is accounted an art its
much as music, painting or sculpture
,in tlie East. The Indian or trapper
that is a shrewd trailer, is a man of
1 dose observation, quick perception
and prompt action. As he goes along,
nothing escapes his observation, and
what he sees and rt hears he accounts
for immediately.' Often not another
step is taken until a mystery that
may present itself in this line is fairly
solved. The Indian trailer will stand
still for hours in succession, to account
for certain traces in tracks, and some
times 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 quic k and restless,' always on
the watch, and he is practicing his art
unconsciously, hardly ever crossing
the track of man or animal without
seeing it. When he enters a house,
he brings the habits he contracted in
his art r, ith him. I know a trailer as
soon as; lie enters my room. He comes
in through the door softly, and with
an air of exceeding caution. Before
lie is fairly in, or at least has sat down, ;
lie hits 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 the Indians,
prefer a more humble seat. When
I was employed by Gun. Harney last
summer to take charge of the Indians
that were gathered here to form anew
reservation, one day a guide and trail
er came into the Gen era Is liendquar-;
tors. I told him to be seated. He sat
down on the lloor, bracing his back
against the wall. The General saw this,
and in vexation cried out, “My God,
why don’t you take a chair, when there
are plenty here not occupied?” The
man arose and seated himself in a
chair, but in so awkward and uncom
fortable a maimer, that hclojkel as if
he might slip from it at and moment
But when this uncouth person came to
transact his business with the General,
lie turned ut to be a man of no ordi
nary abilities. His description of a
route lie took as guide and trailer for
(be Ogullalas in bringing from the
I’latte to tihs place was minute and
exceedingly interesting. Every war
party that for the scns< n had crossed
his trail, he described with minuteness
as to their number, tlie kind of arms
they had, and stated the tribes they
belonged to. In these strange igv Ra
tions that he made there was neit _>r
imposition nor supposition, for i e gave
satisfactory reasons for every assertion
lie made.
I have rode several hundred miles
with till experienced guide and trail r,
Hack, whom I interrogated upon many
points iu the practice of this art.—
Nearly all tracks I saw, either old or
i ew, as a novice in the art, I ques
iione 1 him about. In going to the
Niob ’ara river we crossed the track of
an Indian pony. My guide loin o the
track a few miles, and then said, “It is
a stray, black horse, with a long busii
y tail, nearly starved to death, has a
split hoof of the left foro foot, and
goes very lame, and lie passed hero
early this morning.” Astonished and
incredulous. I asked the reasons, for
knowing these particulars by the
tracks of tho animal, when he replied;
“It was a stray horse, because it did
not go in a direct line; his tail was
long, for he dragged it over the snow;
in brushing against a bush, lie left
some of his hair, which shows its color.
Ho was very hungry, for in going along,
lie has nipped at those high, dry weeds,
which horses seldom cat. The fissure
of the left fore foot, left, also, its track,
and the depth of indentation shows
the degree of his lameness; and his
tracks show lie was here this morning,
when the snow was hard with frost.”
At another place we came across an
Indian track, and he said, “It is an
old Yankton, who come across the
Missouri last evening to look at his
traps. In coining over he carried in
his right hand a trap, and his left a
lasso to catch a pony which he had
lost. He returned without finding the
horse, but had caught in the trap he
had out, a prairie wolf, which
he carried homo on his back, and a
bundle of kininic wood in his right
hand.” Then he gave his rest sous; “I
know he is old by the impression his
gait has made, and a Yankton by that
of moccasin. He is from the other
side of the river,as there are no Yanktons
on this side. The trap he carried
struck the snow now and then, and in
the same i tanner as when he came,
showing that he did not find his pony.
A drop of blood in the center of his
tracks, shows that lie carried the wolf
on his back, and the bundle of kiniyic
wood he used for a staff for support,
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 eoyottc, or even a deer ?” Said
he, “if it had been a fox, or coyotte, or
any other small game, he would have
slipped the head of the animal in his
waist belt, and so carried it by bis
side, and not on his shoulder. Deer
are not caught by traps, but if had
been a deer, lie would not have cross
ed this high hill, but would have gone
back by way of the ravine, and the load
would have made liis steps 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 —
carres a shot gun, and a rascal
that killed some white man lately, and
passed here one week ago; for,” eaid
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
" Into man, he had in all probability
killed, but his steps are those of an In
dian. Going through the ravine the
(aid of hisgnn hit into tlie deep snow.
A week ago we had a very warm day,
and the snow being soft, lie made
these deep tracks; ever since it has
been intensely cold weather, which
makes very shallow tracks.” I sug
gested that perhaps lie bought those
shoes. “Indians don’t buy shoes, and
f they aid, they would not buy them
as large as those were, for Indians have
very smafc feet.”
Hie most noted trailer of this coun
try was l'anl Daloria, a half-breed,
" died under my hands of Indian
consumption, last summer. At one
time 1 rode with him, and trailing was
naturally the subject of our conversa
tion. 1 begged to trail with him an
old track over tho prairie, iu order to
learn its history. I had hardly made
the proposition when he drew up his
horse, which was at a riviue, and said,
“'Well, here is an eld elk track. Let
us get off our horses and follow it.”—
W e followed it but a few rods when
lie said it is a month old, and made at
2 o’clock in tlie afternoon. This he
knew, as then we lmd 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 here and there clusters of
grass that lay in the path of tlie track,
and showed me the dry ends of some
tho stumps of others, and numerous
other similar items, accounted for
many circumstances that astonished
me. W e followed tlie trail over a
mile. Now and then we saw that a
wolf, a fmx and other animals had
practiced the trailing iustincts on the
elk s tracks. Here and there lie would
show me where a snake, a rat, and a
prairie dog had crossed the track.—
NoUiiug had followed or crossed the
track that the quick eye of Daloria did
not detect lie gave an account of
the habits of all animals that had left
tkeii footprints on the track; also, of
tlie state of weather since the elk pass
ed, and the effect of sunshine, winds,
airidity, sand storms, and other influ
ences that had a bearing on these
tracks.
The old man, like all trailers, was
reticent; but on this occasion, seeing I
was interested, became especially com
municative,

Tattlers.
“Oh could there in this world be found
Some little spot of happy ground,
\V here village pleasures might go
round
Without the village tattling,
How doubly blest that spot would be,
Where all might dwell in liberty,
Free from all the bitter misery
Os gossip’s endless prattling !”
Every community is cursed by the
presence of a class of people who
make it their business to attend to
everybody's business but their own.—
Such people are the meanest speci
mens of depraved humanity which all
wise providence permits to exist on this
cursed earth. Jt is well known that
almost every person is sometimes dis
posed to speak evil of others: and tat
tling is a sin from which very few can
claim to be entirely exempt. But the
object of the present article is to speak
of that distmet c lass of tattlers who
make tale-bearing the constant busi
ness of their lives. They pry into the
private affairs of every family in the
neighborhood, they know the exact
state of one neighbor’s feelings toward
another; they understand everybody’s
faults, and no little blunder or misde
meanor es 'apes their vigil mt watch
fulness. They are particularly well
posted upon everything connected
with the courtship and matrimony,
know who aregoingto marry and whom,
and can guess the exact time when it
will take place. They watch every
movement of parties suspected of
matrimonial intentions, and if there
is the slightest chance to create a dis- |
turbancc, excite jealousy, or “break
up” a match, they take immediate ad-1
vantage of it and do all in their power ■
to keep people in a constant state of
vexation. They glide quietly from
fatner to sop, and in the ears of all j
they pour their dark, bitter whispers
of slander and abuse, and at the same
time pretend to be the most sincere
friend of those they talk to. Their
black and nauseous pills of malicous
slander arc sugar coated with smiles
and honeyed words of friendship.
Tattlers are confined to no particu
lar class of society. They belong to !
all classes, and operate in all. Wo
find them among the rich and the
po >r—“upper ten” and the “lower
million,” in the church and out of it.
They are people who have no ambi
! tion that to be well informed in regard
|to other people’r private business, to
| retail scandal to their neighbors, and j
I exult in fiendish triumph over the
wounded fee lings and bruised hearts
of the innocent victims. Beauless old
maids and childless matrons make the
most accomplished scandal mongers in
the world. They seem to take to tat
tling from the proptings of a natural
instinct, and they prosecute it with
! an energy that would do infernal lion
| or to their great leader—the prince of
| darkness himself. Our contempt for
j such graceless creatures knows no
| bounds, and we can find no words to
; express its infamy. What punishment
| they deserve we cannot know; but
God knows, and assure as eternal jtts
i lice reigns they will receive a rctribu
; tion proportioned to the magnitude of
, their offences against the laws of God
and the intercuts of humanity.

An .Awkward predicament.
Out in Missouri lives a Mrs. Hemp
dale, who has or had a daughter named
Laura, who loved a man named Jack, j
This man Jack she didn’t like, but she j
was informed by a neighbor that Jack
and Laura had arranged a plan ol
elopement.
Her mind was quickly made up. —
She announced to Laura the next morn
ing that she was going to Belleville on
a visit to be gone three days, and that
she must be a good gi 1 and not tear
tho house down when she was gone,
That night Jack knew of it, and as
he read the nice little note that l ade
him ‘come over and stay until mother j
comes homo, and what a splendid time
we will have,” lie smiled, kn- ' ked the
ashes off his cigar, and resolved of
course he would.
Jack went over, but there is no earth
ly use in our attempting to describe
the delectable things he my yed; it
was. a sugar season at that plantation,
sure.
Just before dusk, while Jack was
running over full of the occasion, in
rushes Laura’s waiting woman with,
“Lor brass me, chiln, es yer ain’t
missis at do gate.’
“My God, Dinah, wlrat shall wc do
with Jack ?”
“Pop him in de closet, Miss Laura,”
and Jack was popped in tho closet in a
twinkling.
In stalked the old lady, who sharply
scrutinizing the disconcerted and blush
ing countenance of Laura, lilt su.e
th t Ju< k had been there.
‘•Con e here, Laura. Now you can’t
deceive mo. That abominable Elaine
has been here, and you and he have
fixed upon a luuaway mulch, to come
off to night; I know you see.”
Laura was silent, and the old lady
con tinned:
“Butyou will find that your mother
is no fool, and too sharp for you, my
lady. Sooner than you should many
that miserable Jack Elaine, Id see you 1
laid in your grave. He is not going i
to squander my money*, I will assure
you ,\”
The old lady rose, and going to a !
clothes press, returned with several i
comforters and a pillow’.
Then walking up to tho closet where 1
Jack was concealed, threw them in and I
said to Laura,
“Now march in here Miss, step along ,
1 11 look out that you don’t see that low I
born mechanic this night.”
Laura protested that she didn’t want;
to, declaring that her mother might be !
sorry for it some day.
But, without paying any attention ;
her mother gave her ft push, shut the j
door, and locked it, put the kep in her j
pocket and went to bed.
Early in the morning the old lady ■
arose, and without w.aung to dress
I'ook the key from h r. po;d"'t, and
ipeucd the clcsei door to bid Laura 1
come forth,gfzed wildly for all in-taut,
and uttered a moat piercing scream.
Recovering very rapidly, started
away from the door and culled faintJy
to Laura:
“JLturn, dear go into the kitchen and
See about breakfast.” ,
Then presently:
“Jack, I say Jack.”
Jack eamo forth with ft tvm-in law
looking air, find answered:
I “Wolf, madam, wliat is it?’
“Do you know anything about a
farm f' said she.
“Nothing to brag of, lfia’am,” said
Tack, humbly.
“Well, at ’any rate, Jack, T think that
after breakfast you and Laura may as
well go down to the city and get mar
ried, for I’m tired of watching you,
.hat’sa fact.”
Idl Tim: What Fathkii Takix,"
“What will you take to drink?" asked
the waiter ut a young lad, who for tho
first time accompanied his father to a
a public dinner. Uncertain what to
say, and feeling- suit) t hat he could not
be wrong if lie followed his father s ex
ample, he replied:
“i'll fake what father takes.”
The answer reached the lather's ear,
and instantly the full responsibility of
I iiis position rushed upon him. Ji ho
j .'.a.d “I’ll take ale,” as he always had
said 1 cfoie, his son would take it also,
and tin n! And the lather slmddi red
I as the history of several young men,
j who once promising l.ko Ins-own bright
lad, had Lvou ruined by drink, started
up in the solemn warning before him.
Should his hope also be blush and, and
that oj on-faced noble lad become a
Lmi'dcmu.'d a curse ns they had becom ?
But. for strong drink they would have
been active, earnest, prosperous men;
and if it eoi Id wo k such ruin upon
them, warn his own son safe? Quicker
than lightning these thoughts passed
through his mind, and in a moment tho
decision was made. “If the boy falls,,
he shall not have mo to blame;” and
then, in turns tremulous with emotion,,
to the astoni lnnout. of those who knew
Dim, he said, “waiter, I’ll take water;’’
and fr< m that day to this, strong
drink has been banished hum that
man’s house.

was re; lly the repiesentartii© of the
generation to which la* belongs. God
has so directed it, tJi.it the lath l r is Iho

STATE 110 A D -PAYMENTS.
We have seen, from time to time,,
comments made relative to the pay
ments intc the Slate Treasury from
the earnings of the State Hoad, and
the chief complaint was: that $25,000
was not enough, considering tho busi
ness the ltoad was doing. When we
take into consideration the payments
made by Dr. Lewis under Gov. Brown’s
administration, it does look like asmall
amount.
V, e are not at all surprised at tho
payments made by Col. Hulbert, when
we take into view the statement he
made of Lho condition of the Rood, and
the actual repairs he considered neces
sary to make the Road a wife and sure
one for freight and travel. In tact, ho
suggested that the whole earnings of
the Rood be retained by the Treasurer
of the Road, and that such repairs bo
made as to make it a No. 1. first class.
It is our opinion that Col. H. is acting
upon Ins own suggestions, and that lie
will be able to make a fair and satisfac
tory report to flic next legislature.
The Road w as in a bad condition when
he took it in charge, for it must be re
membered that it was roughly used by
the Confederate and United Stab for
ces, and 111 itch of the work upon it done
hastily to keep it in running order,
when it was running one day and burn
ing the next.
How much work was done upon it
by' Mr. Wallace, we know not; imt if
Col. Hulbert’s ft port is at all truthful
ad reliable, and we are not prepared
to gainsay it, the Road is don g very
well, l>y paying into the Slate Treasuiy
$25,U00 per month.
There is one fact that the people of
the .state may rely upon: no man can
take licit Rood in hand and che. t tho
State viihont Ixnng found out, exj[K>s
e i itr.d in tlv dtnonreod. We will
give ex-Goveruor Brown the credit of
doing the State great service in liis
management of the Road by his a] -
poiutuiettts, anil past repoiVfi are too
clear and .concise not to constitute a
comparison at till times.
As 10 some parties finding fault, wc
avo not astonished. There are in the
j world, a set of chronic fault tinders.;
t icy may be of service to keep others
: on the straight line of duty, nnd to
! arouse suspicions, but take th« m as a
j whole, we nave no great deal of syu.-
pa% fov them. We shall patici lly
