TRAILED BY INDIANS.
AN OLD lit NTKlt'.S NTOItV.
••It wri- iu ’48, nml I’d been out
trading Tnongst the Flathead* and the
Neat Ferres for nearly two years off
and on, when one day 1 caught on to
a sohcinyjhc Flat heads had got up to
raid the little settlement near to where
(Tiatoii, Nov., now stand*. There
were three families living there, and
the plan whs to wait until the men
went to Carson City for provisions,
when the, women and children were to
be killed and the cattle run off by one
party, while Another waylaid the men
*m the way back and murdered them.
1 was up about Winnemucca when 1
got hold of this, him! I set oil’ for Can¬
ton ns hard as I could go, but tfio men
were gone by the time I reached the
settlement, which was called Ridley’s
Camp. I had reason to fear the Indi¬
ans were only a few hours behind me,
and we had to movo quickly. Our
only ehnnec was to hide in the moun¬
tains till they left tho neighborhood
or work our way ns host we could by
night to Carson City.
It was useless to think of saving the
men, so 1 just kept that part of tho
business to myself. There were itt all
thirteen of us, two women and their
•even children, and three little chaps
whose mother had died the week be¬
fore, and me. 'The first tiling I did
was to stampede the cr.ttlc and horses
to keep the Indians from getting them,
then, as wo started, I shut up the
houses to keep the redskins ns long us
possible there before they found out
tho pcoplo had run away.
Wo made the little creek called
Snake River by daylight, and, after
rcconnoitet ing, I made the whole party
wade out to an island in the middle,
which was about 20 by 30 feet, nnd
covered with flags and rushes and
mmiiu stunted willows. Hero we lay
all day, for the most part down on our
stomachs un 'cr the brush, Of course
we could build no fire nor move about,
so wo ate the cold victuals the women
had brought along, nnd I dipped up
v water in my cap. Twice parties of
ludfans stopped not a hundred yards
below where wc wero to water their
horses, but, judging from their ac¬
tions, I knew they did not suspect any
one was near them, but wore proba¬
bly on their way to Ridley’s. They
did not linger, but rode on at once,
much to my relief, for all the time
they wero within hearing I am sure
1 did not draw a breath a minute for
fear one of tho children would cry
out, when wo would have all been
massacred; but the poor little things,
with tho exception of a child a few
weeks old, wero too badly scared to
stir or speak unless bidden ; and as for
tho women, they put any man l ever
saw to shame with their calmness and
courage.
When night came wc struck out for
a line of hills lying about five miles
n\\n>, and w lioic I counted on finding
a (»it, oi at least a hiding-place.
Guirse l ami the women and the larger
children could have made it withou 1
iLfiumh , but being obliged to wait
on the little ones and to carry them
euey half mile or so, wc wero nearly
all night getting to the nearest lull.
W c d gone about a mile, when low
dou n on the horizon I saw a dull glow,
and knew the Indians were burning
the camp nnd that they’d be on our
trail in a little while. When we got
to the lull I t onal see nothing like a
mve, and. while it was pretty heavily
wooilotk .hue was no place to hide
where Hie Indians would not spy 1
directly. •
-
was ooking about me
when I caught glimpse of a black bear
running round a rocky spur about
half way up the hill. 1 followed just
in time to see her go tumbling or
climbing down sort of gash
n tho earth, nnd which I knew
must bo her den. B it bout stop
Ring I jumped at her nnd found myself
in a lithe cave, about ten by ten feet,
but with another larger one lending
away toward the center of the hill,
The bear began to growl when she
saw me, and 1 saw. when my eves got
accustomed to the dim light, that she
had two cubs in the den with her,
which she was going to defend. So,
aiming as carefully as I could, 1 fired
at her, breaking her skull, after which
I killed the two cubs and transferred
iny party to the cave. The last of the
eold meat and bread were then eaten,
and the women and children, creeping
into the larger division, which was,
however, only about four feet in
height, went to rest. But 1 was too
anxious to sleep, tired as 1 was, so
floisted mv< the cavern and

1 eiimbcd to the tip of tbc hills to see
if j could see aught of the Indian*.
Several times it seemed to me that I
saw a band moving along the line of
the horizon, and, while the specks
might have been cattle, I thoaght it
; best to stav where wc were ail that
day, that night and the next day. Our
great trouble was water, which had to
be brought from a spring on the other
side of the hill, and as only a small
quantity could be brought at a time—
my cap being the only vessel we
the children especially suffered a good
deal. At last one of the women dis
covered a flint rock with a hollow dip
in the middle, which would hold about
two quarts or *o, and I kept this filled
ns a cistern. I ventured that night to
roast a piece of the bear in a bole in
the ground, which change of diet wa g
a welcome one. I never passed such
a time since I was born, for I dare not
sleep an hour for fear of a surprise,
and the weight of responsibility I felt,
with those poor, helpless creatures on
my hands, was simply awful.
Late on tbs second day, when i
mbed the hill for a last look, 1 saw
a small band of Indians not more than
an eighth of a mile away. They did
not number more than seven,but were
armed and in full war dress, and were
heading straight for (he hill. Drop,
ping on my all fours 1 ran as fast as 1
could for the mouth of the cavern,
and scrambling down soon had the
women and childreyAcrouched up in
the far end of the larger division,
where no shot tired into the smaller
one could reach them, though 1 hoped
the Indians would either pass by al¬
together or fail to find us if they
halted. Silence then was absolutely
necessary, and the women impressed
this on the children. 1 then went
back, and by clinging to one of the
hushes swinging across the entrance
to the cave peered out to see what the
redskins meant to do. 1 could see
they had si rack our trail and suspect¬
ed we wero somewhere about, for
they dismounted, and scattering, they
began to search about the woods.
As they drew near our hiding place
1 dropped down iuto it and cocked the
guns the women had brought and my
own trusty rifle, i suppose iny fre¬
quent goings in and comings out had
left some trace, for they seemed to
notice the entrance at once, and pres¬
ently 1 saw a head peeping over. The
dim light of the cave might have pre¬
vented the owner from seeing me, but,
as ill-luck would have it, the infant
child I spoke of wailed out just at this
particular moment. The cry was
stifled in an instant, but it bad been
heard, and tho head craned over
further, while another and another
popped over. 1 was crouching down
as close as I could, but, hearing the
click of me trigger, I knew conceal¬
ment was ho longer possible, and
blazed away. Two screams told me
that a couple of heads had been hit,
and the third disappeared. 1 heard a
voice shouting for the others to come
up, and could distinguish the tones of
a colloquy being held, though without
hearing what was said.
Presently a lighted torch was flung
into the cave, but I had retreated into
the further one, and, nothing being
visible, the Indians were nonplused,
! and I heard one cry out that there was
nothing there. Another retorted an¬
grily that some one had killed Blue
Water and Leaping Turtle. This was
followed by a patler of shots on the
floor of the cave, one of which, re¬
bounding, struck one of the children
on the breast, but, though the gullet
embedded itself in bis skin, the plucky
little fellow did not utter a sound. As
their firing still produced no effect,
the Indians did not know how to ac
count for matters, and presently one
0 f> tjiem was imprudent enough to
.-tick his head over the edge, but I
I made no move, and they held another
council. It was evident that they
j : f carc( j to enter the cave, not knowing
ll0W many i ay concealed within it, and
ilt ]ast they hit on the very plan I had
| Jet>n dreading.
Alighted ft>rch was thrown over,
il)K i a quantity of leaves and moss was
pushed after it, but their amiable in
! tention of smoking us out failed, ow
| ing to the dampness of the leaves and
| moss and my having deluged the
calt i, eu fl oor 0 f the cave with
water we had on hand. Seeing tlii s
; fail, .1 they summoned 1 up courage to .
j enter the cavern, and as we saw the
live forms leap over, live women and I
; opened on them. 1 killed my man in*
! stantly, and so did Mrs. Ridley, who
immediately let a dusky fiend, who,
j sci earning, rushed upon her, have the
faff conteuts of the other barrel in his
breast.
; The other woman missed her aim,
and the next moment was in the grasp
of one of the Indians, b it before I
could come to her rescue, her son, a
j boy of 12, had flung his arms around
the redskin’s neck, and, hanging on
bis back kept him from striking, ^-} ien
the woman, picking up a tomahawk,
struck him a tremendous blow on the
forehead. He dropped like a log,
| crushing the boy beneath him. The
remaining Indian, seeing his compau
\ ions fall, made a break for the en
j trance, and was just climbing out
when I caught him, and, firing,
j brought him down with a broken arm
! and a ball in bis side,
Seeing him helpless, and thinking
him dying, I did not shoot again, but
t back to the women, whom X
found shrieking with excitement. I
quieted them, and congratulated them
on their courage, which, however,
entirely gone as goon as the call for it
was over. I rolled the Indian off the ,
boy, who was considerably bruised by
the weight of the dead bodv, but
otherwise not hurt. The wounded
Indian I found to lie an old acquaiu.

ng rapidly I did not disturb him. He
tokl me that finding Ridley’s Camp
deserted, the main party had gone j
back home, but that suspecting me of
having warned them, some of the
young hot bloods had followed tis to
; be avenged on me? They were pretty
certain that I was the only man in the
party, but did not know but what
others had joined us.
"Well, we tool- possession of the

A River That Flows Inland.
There is an interesting instance of
water flowing inland from the sea. It
is found on the island of Gephaloilia,
in the Ionian sea, west of Greece. The
phenomenon occurs on the southwest
side of the island near the small town
and port of Argostoli. Two streams
flow at a short distance from one an¬
other, straight from the sea, for a few
yards, and then follow* different
couises. One turns at right angles
anil runs for some ways parallel with
the shore and close to it. Then it turns
again toward the sea, and running, of
course, deeper and deeper, doubles
completely under itself, thus forming
a loop, and finally passes out of sight
deep dow n in a landward direc
(ion. In its course it turns two flour
mills, which will give an idea of the
strength of tlie current. There is no
tide in the sea here, and the flow jjt
the salt water brook is perfectly
st .y and continuous. The other
stream disappears in the ground in a
similar way. The curious phenomenon
litis not attracted much attention be
cause Argostoli is not one of the reg¬
ular tourist routes. No one knows
what becomes of this water, but it
probably flows in some subterranean
reservoir, and it uuiy have something
to do with the earthqifekcs that occur
in that neighborhood once in a long
while, or, possibly, it feeds some dis¬
tant volcano, for, as is well known,
the most generally accepted theory of
the cause of volcanic eruptions is, that
u.c) fiie due to the steam generated
from water, admitted through cracks
in the earth's crust, or in some other

Runaway Horses.
I heard an inters;.ting distinction
made the other day by an experienced
driver of horses, not a professional,
as to the degree of danger to which a
person was exposed from a runaway
horse. The distinction made was be.
tween the horse that runs away from
fright and the horse that runs away
because he is out of temper. In the
former case the animal is said to be
perfectly reckless; he is as likely to
dish across the street as lie is to
straight ahead, and the only safeguard
for a team approaching him is to get
as far away from him as possible. But
the horse who is the victim of an ungov*
erliable temper has a method in his
madness. He rushes straight ahead
and is careful to avoid obstacles in his
path. Such an animal i« much less to
be dreaded than the victim of fright,
and there is no necessity for taking
! unusual precautions against a collision
width him. — [Boston Post.

A LOCUST PLAGUE, j

Habits of the Pestand Remedies

The cable reports that the plague of
locusts has appeared in Morocco and
threatens Algeria. From the famine
that may be expected to result, many
of the unfortunate inhabitants, es
pecinlly of the former country, are
likely to die. This African locust is
a remarkable creature. His devastu

nnm ker as to cover ships with their
k°dies and darken the atmosphere,
An average length of territory to be
rava o®d by them iu one season is
abouL 1000 miles * u is sometimes
much greater. In the Old Testament
these locusts are classed among the
more terrible calamities that can befall
a people, along xvilli drought, pesti¬
lence, famine and siege. The fact that
they have no leader, like other mi
giants, is there noted, In “Exodus”
the wind is given as the cause of their
arrival and departure. Modern obser¬
vations fail to connect their ordi
nary migrations with any pre
vailing atmospheric currents, The
older notion is intimated
again in “Psalms,” apparently
referring to locusts caught in the
whirlwinds that traverse all heated
plains. In all the locust countries they
are an article of diet for man as well
as for many other natural enemies,
j i„ Palestine they are eaten either
roasted or boiled in salt and water*
When preserved for future use they*
arc dried in tho sun and ground up,
i then eaten with camels’ milk.or honey
j to correct the bitter flavor,
There seems to be no effective rem
j gfiy for the affliction. The locusts are
; infested with parasites of their own,
j but these do not multiply fast enough
to suppress them during their plague
years. When tho island of Cyprus
was visited by them a few years ago,
an official report was made Recom¬
mending the importation of a beetle
which feeds on the eggs, when it was
discovered that the beetle was
indigenos^in istence of Cue migrating the island. locust The in ex
quan¬
tities sufficient to constitute it a verii
able plague to many of the higher
: forms of life is attested by human rc
cords so ancient that it is impossible to
induce proof for the hypothesis that
man’s own agency has contributed to
augment the scourge. Man has done
much, by upsetting the balance of na¬
ture, to bring insect afflictions upon
himself; but if he has had a hand in
the multiplication of locusts, it was at
a period anterior to the most ancient
of translated records.— [New York

know that he was coining up to go

the celebration of the anniversary of

part of the exercises consisted of sing

that the Chinese were destitute of ca¬

Irom the Farm to the Observatory. (
My birthplace, says Professor SinJ^n
Newcomb, the eminent astronomer, in
the Forum, was in the northern part
of Nova Scotia, and the surroundings
of my childhood and youth were such
as deeply to tinge the economic views
of my later years. People lived there
much as the settlers of New England
lived before the Revolution, The
children of all but the rich went bare"
foot in summer, and, except the rare
ami costly Sunday suit, nearly every
family had to make its own clothes.
The men and bovs tilled the ground,
or cut and sawed lumber for ex.oria
tiou to more favored climes; the wo¬
men and girls sheared the sheep,
carded the wool, spun the yarn, wove
the homespun cloth, ami made the
clothes. . . . Partly from neces¬
sity, partly from a fear of overstudy
aiu^a desire to strengthen my bodily
constitution, about half my time from
the age of e’glit to that of sixteen was
spent in working ( n farms. The more
intelligent of the farmers generally
had two or three books, which there
were occasional opportunities of read¬
ing by the light of the blazing lire in
winter evenings. . . . Up to the
age of twelve the laws of nature re¬
mained a mystery to me. About that
time I remember once asking mv
father what light was, and why wo
could not see in the dark. Ho tried to
give me an idea of something lie had
read or heard on the subject, but the
question was one which nothing in
our reading could help to answer, llo
could tell about gravitation, the names
and order of the planets, history, and
navigation; but I doubt if a book on
natural philosophy had ever fallen
within his reach. — [Forum.
Her First Carriage Hide.

peasants returning home after having
viewed the holy spectacle. One of
them was an old woman bent under
her weight of years. We stopped our

insisted upon her getting in with us.

The “Hubble-bubble*”
All typical Orientals smoke, The
tobacco-pipes are of various forms,
and this one is called a josch, because
the water reservoir at the bottom is
usually a cocoanut, that the Arabs call
jousc-ef-Ilind (Indian-nut). The or¬
dinary pipe of the East is the narghili,
or hubble-bubble, such as the barber
has in his shop.' This is a glass vessel,
Surmounted by a little brass boivl for
the tobacco, and provided with a flex¬
ible tube four or five feet long. The
glass vessel is partly fibed with water,
portion of moist tobacco is placed
in the brass bowl, a red-hot coal is
laid on this, and the pipe is ready.
The smoke being drawn through the
water is cooled and purified^ while
the sound of the air agitating the
water gives the pipe its name of tho
hubble-bubble. — [St. Nicholas.

father was stationed there as Chief Clerk
of the Navy Yard, and, according to a
custom then prevailing in the case of
sons of officers or people of influence,
was placed on the pay roll of one of the
vessels of the navy when he was but four
years old. In 1800, when only nine, he
went aboard the Cleopatra for training
and four years later made his first voyage
in her. .The Cleopatra, after a fight in
midocean, was captured by the French
l igate Ville do Milan, but was rescued
■y another British vessel a week later,
n 1808, at the age of seventeen, he was
made a Second Lieutenant and was in
many actions during the French war.
He was Second Lieutenant of the Shannon
when that frigate defeated the Che-a
peake in the famous fight off Boston
Harbor in 1813. .The Captain having
oeen wounded and the First Lieutenant
billed the command of the frigate and
aer prize devolved upon young Wallis.
tic was promoted for his gallantry and
efficiency in this action and in 1819 was
made a Captain. The dates of hi.s pro¬
motions after this were as follows: Rear
Admiral, 1851; Vice Admiral, 1857;
Admiral, 1863, and Admiral of the fleet,
1877. It was by the special order of
the Queen that he was retained in the
service after he had attained the age of
seventy, at which the rule requires re¬
tirement. This was on account of the
exceptional length and character of his
service. He was created a G. C. B. in
1 873.— Chicago Post.
On a recent afternoon the little four'
year-old daughter of Mr. M. D. Proctor,
who resides on Major Shelton'a farm,
three miles north of Covington, Tenn.,
fell into a well forty feet deep and con¬
taining about twenty feet of water. Mrs.
Proctor, in her frenzy, leaped in aftei
the child, and by clinging to the brick
curbing succcq^ledin keeping herself and
little one above the water until the hus¬
band and father arrived and drew there
safely out of their perilous situation.
Neither suffered any serious injury.—

NOTHING VERY NEW.
Mrs. De Visits—Good afternoon, Miss
Blank! Is your mother at home?
Miss Blank—No. She has gone to
Mrs. De Mugg’s Progressive Conversa¬
tion Party. By the way, what sort of a
party is that, Mrs. De Yisite?
Mrs. De Yisite—It is one at which the
conversation begins with art, science,
and literature, and progresses verv rap¬
idly to fashions, gossip, and servants.—
