LIFE IN AN INDIAN CAMP.
■ ' I
THE RTORY OF GEN. CANBY’S DRATH
UNDER A FLAG OF TRUCE.
The story Told, no It win Never Understood
Before— Canby might Enoily have been
Saved.
Dr. T. T. Cubaniss, in the Astorian of
Oregon, retells the story of the treachery
of the Modocs in the lava beds : “Gen.
Canby and Dr. Thomae led the party on
foot nnd Dyer and Meacham followed on i
horseback, though the nature of the
ground waa such that one could
make better time on foot over the rocks
than on a horse. The distance from
General Canby’s tent to the council tent
was 900 yards ami the latter was hidden
from us (except the signal officer) by a
fall-off in the lava I**l. The General
was about fifty yards from the place
where it stood (at tho end of our camp
next to the Indians), and Dr. Thomas
behind. I shall never forget those two
men as they looked that day, marching
into the jaws of death—Canby with his
tall figure, dressed in a new military
coat, and Thomas in a suit of Scotch
gray. At this moment Meacham turned <
his horse from the trail and rode up to
mo. Said he, ‘Dr. Cabaniss, do you
think there is danger under the arrange- i
ment we have made?’ ‘What is the ar- i
rangement ?’ I asked. ‘There are to lie
five unarmed Indians and five of ns.’ '
‘Under that arrangement,’ I replied, i
•there is no danger; but Meacham, if 1
you are suspicions of those Indians, re- I
main here and let me go and see them.’ <
He turned in his saddle, and seeing that i
General Canby and Dr. Thomas had i
gotten some distance in advance, with
out replying, followed them. Subse- i
qnent events proved that the Modocs
intended to kill Colonel Mason as well
as Canby, Gillem and others.
“After the commissioners had l>een
with them some time, and at the mo
ment that Canby was making them
laugh, while smoking cigars, au Indian
came in sight of Mason’s camp, a mile
and a half from tho council tent, and
waved a white flag. General Canby had
told them to do this if they wanted to
see the whites. Lieutenant Sherwood
was office: of the day, and went to meet
this Indian, accompanied by Lieutenant
Boyle. When within a few yards of this
man Sherwood asked him what ho
wanted. ‘Nothing !’ was the answer.
As the officer turned several Indians
rose from the rocks and commenced fir
ing at him and Boyle. The first shot
was through his thigh, breaking tho
bone, from which wound he died several
days afterward. Boyle escaped, fiber
wood took shelter behind a rock, and
the man who was on picket several hun
dred yards away opened fire on the In
dians and kept them from advancing
on Hherwood. The troops turned out
and the Modocs retreated to their camp.
“Almost immediately after this oc
currence Lieutenant Moore, tho signal
officer in Mason's camp, telegraphed to
General Gillem: ‘The Indians have
fired on this camp, killing Hherwood
and Boyle I' Upon receipt o this mes
sage, General Gillem sent his adjutant,
Lieutenant Rockwell, for me, and de
sired my presence. Upon reaching his
tent Gillem said: ‘Dr. Cabauiss, will
you take a message to General Canby ?’
‘Yes, sir.’ ‘I have selected you out
of this entire command, but I do not
want you to go under any misappre
hension.’ I answered that I would go
to tho rescue of General Canby if ho
was in danger from the Modoc*. T will
write the message,’ said bo, ‘because if
you carry a verbal message, “Bogus”
will tell theother Indians.’ As he hand
ed me tho message, tolling of the death
of Sherwood, tho officer at the signal
station called out, ‘They are firing at the
council tent!' Tho men turned out im
mediately, and some of them under Ser
geant Woeten, an ex-Confederate sohlier
of K. Company of cavalry, started with
out awaiting the orders of tho officers.
“Meacham him told what followed,
and I will merely correct a few mis
takes which he makes. Dr. Thomas
was shot with a pistol by ‘Boston,’ and
then through the front part of tho head
with a ball from a carbine. General
yards from the spot where ho sat when
shot, and Thomas was about eighty
yards in another direbtton.
“Had I gone to these Indiana first, I
would have counted eight instead of five,
and I would have seen that they were
armed, as Dyar did when he got to the
crouud. I would have made Jack be
lieve that Canby was delayed in camp
and then walked away. This could have
been done with perfect safety,.as they
were after larger game, and knew that
to shoot me would defeat their plans,
and General Canby and Dr. Thomas
Canby hail a wound from a pistol-ball
under the left eye, and one from a pistol
ball in the side of the head, above the
left ear, without passing through, and a
stab with a narrow-bladed knife under
the right ear. Canby was thirty-five
would be living to-day. Had I reached
the General before the firing commenced,
the whole plan of the Indians would
have l>eeu changed, and being armed. ■
standing by Dyar’a horse, I would have i
killed Jack and possibly have saved the ,
General’s life. What my fate would
have been, of course, is not known, but
1 believe that one cool and courageous
white man, under such circumstances,
can whip that number of Indians, espe
cially when be had Meacham, Dyar, and
others to divert their attention. At least
the risk would justify one in the hope
of savins suchamon as GeneralCaubv.”
A Trial Test.— During the Tenth
century persons accused of robbery were
put to trial by a piece of barley bread,
on which the mass had been said, and if
they could not swallow it they were de
clared guilty. Sometimes a slice of
cheese was added to the bread. The
bread was to Ire of unleaveued barley,
and the cheese made of ewe’s milk in
the month of May.

TALK WITH A DIVER.

“Oan you see under water?” “Very
seldom. I remember years ago going
down to have a look at the wreck of the
Forfarshire—the vessel Grace Darling
and her father pulled to, not from wind
ward of the island, as the story says,
but from the lee side, where the cable
lay ready, and where the water was
smooth. I dived just out of curiosity,
and saw the old hooker plain enough.
Off that same coast I’ve been down in
water so bright that I’ve stood among
weeds as tall as this room, a beautiful
garden of them, and watched ’em with
delight, almost to forgetting the job I
was down there for, and I saw all kinds
of fish swimming about and appearing
quite close through the glass in my hel
met, though if I put out my baud to
them I found them to be fathoms away. ”
“But as a rule you can’t see?” “No
more than if I was looking through a
London fog. And then fake a ship.
Suppose you were to come into this
room at night without a light—yon ;
couldn’t see. So it is with a ship’s hold
and cabin under water. It’s pitch dark.
A man can only grope.” “It must lie
dangerous work moving about among
cargo under such circumstances.”
“Why, not when you are used to it. A
bit of a sea on above is often inconven
ient, by making the vessel on the surface
roll and tauten the tackle for heaving up
the cargo, and so running up a mass of
dead weight on a sudden before you’re
ready, nnd then letting it come down
crash again. A ground swell—l mean
the swell at bottom—is also trouble
some, for it’ll swing a man to and fro
to a distance of seven feet and more.
But this is only on deck. It’s quiet
enough in the hold.” “Suppose such a
swell should dash a diver against any
thing?” "It wouldn't hurt him, sir.
The dress makes him so light I have
fallen through many a yawn and hole in
a ship’s decks, fit to break a man’s neck
and back, you might think for the depth
of it, and have gone very softly, and
have come up again just as quiet.” “Can
you converse under water ?” “Yes; but
very few know how it’s done. If you
were to stand up face to face with an
other man each might burst himself
with yelling without producing the faint
est sound. Now, how do you think you
can hear?” "I cannot imagine.” “By
lying down. Yon and your mate must
lie down on your breasts—it must be on
your breasts—head to head or side by
side, close, and in that position you’ll
hear one another as easily as you and I
can hear each other in this room.” “I
suppose the sound is conveyed by the
deck or sand, or whatever you lie upon?"
"Possibly. I only know it's true.
When I found this out I spoke to an
other diver about it, and ho would not
believe me. Well, one day we happened
to go down to « wreck together. I told
him beforehand what position to put
himself in; and, after we had been at
work some time, wo camo together and
both bud down, as agreed; and I said,
■Jim, are there many more casks left in
the forehold?’ ‘Heaps,’ he answered
right off. ‘And so you can hoar me ?’
said I. ‘Ay,’ he answered, ‘wonder
fully plain;’ and with that he laughed,
and so did I, and we both heard each
other's laugh just as we heard each
other’s words.” “How deep down were
you nt the time ?” "In about eleven
fathoms. ” London Telegraph.

The Diseased Callie.
Dr. Salmon, Chief of the Bureau of
Animal Industry at Washington, is very
positive in his opinion that the cattle
disease which has appeared nt several
points in tho West is contagious pleuro
pneumonia. The commission which in
vestigated this disease two or three
years ago reported that it was invariably
of foreign origin, and up to that time
had never extended beyond a narrow
belt along the Atlantic coast. They
recommended the most vigorous niea»
urea for stamping It out and protecting
bom it all linos of communication to
the West, as, if it once got into Western
herds, it would be very difficult to deal
with. They were also of the opinion
that tho only certain way of checking
its progress was to slaughter the whole
of every herd in which it made its ap
pearance. Comparatively little has
been done toward carrying out the
recommendations of the commission.and
as a consequence what its members most
dreaded seems to have happened.

W hat the Railroads are Doing.
There is good railway authority for
the statement that the now lines of rail
road, built iu 1881 will aggregate 4,000
miles in length, and that preparations
are making for increased railroad con
struction next year. Large contracts
for steel rails have recently boon made,
and it is estimated that purchases for
the balance of this year will amount to
150,(MM) tons. Conjecture places the
length of now lines of railread that will
be constructed in 1885 at 0,000 mile.
If it is now in serious contemplation to
build that number of additional miles of
railroad, probably the real amount that
will lie constructed will reach 7,000 or
8,000 miles. In 1883 0,753 miles of
new railroad were built. In 1882 the
enormous amount of 11,596 miles of new
railroad track was lakh In 1881 9,789
miles were built. Previous to that
time for 30 years, the lines of railroad
construction were from 1,500 to 7,000
miles a year.

THE BOOK OF MORMOJt.
A True Illatory ol Joe hmltb’a Hemerknble
Piece ol Jugglery.
(From the St. Louis Spectator.]
How many people know anything
about tho origin of the Mormon religion
or, rkther, of the Book of Mormon, which
is its authority ? I knew precious little
abont it until this week, when I acci
dently fell in with Mr. Clark Braden,
who has recently given the subject a
most searching investigation. His story
shows of what stuff a religion may be
made. The Mormons number nearly
300,000. They are divided in many
sects, but the principal are the polyg
amous Brighamites in Utah and the
non-polygamous Josephites scattered in
various places. The story may be given
in a few words. The Book of Mormon
was written by an old broken-down
Presbyterian clergyman named Solomon
Spaulding. Spaulding was born in Con
necticut in 1761. He graduated at Dart
mouth College and settled as Minister
for a Congregational church. He made
a bad failure at preaching, and went into
business with his brother in New York
State, did not succeed, and started an
iron foundry in a town in Northern
Ohio. He soon failed in that venture
and became very much discouraged.
His wife supported the family by taking
boarders and he spent his time in writ-'
ing, though what did not then appear.
The family moved to Pittsburg, when he
rewrote his book, adding a second part.
He afterward rewrote the entire book,
adding a third part. This is the origin
of the manuscript.
Now, what became of it ? Spaulding
made arrangements to have it printed in
Pittsburg. After a part of it had been
set up the whole manuscript was stolen
by a tanner named Sidney Rigdon, who
was in the habit of loafing around the
printing office. Rigdon kept it concealed
for some years, until he fell in with
Joseph Smith, who evolved the plan of
producing it. Smith belonged to a not
very reputable family living near Pal
myra, N. Y. They lived in a house and
supported themselves by hunting and
and fishing and other means suspected
to be more questionable. Joseph, one
day, found a remarkably clear crystal,
shaped much like a child’s foot, and he
declared it was a “peep-stone,” in which
he could read the future and discover
stolen goods, strayed cattle, ete., and on
several occasions was so successful in
predicting the locality of goods and cat
tle that he soon came to have consider
able reputation. He then extended his
field of operations by divining where
treasures were buried, and under his di
rections a great many diggings were
made, unsuccessfully, however. These
diggings extended over a large area,
some fifty miles or more, around Pal
myra, and some of them may be seen
now. He fell in with Sidney Rigdon,
who told him of the manuscript. Smith
soon devised a scheme for producing it
under proper surroundings. Tho al
leged book of copper plates was found
under divine guidance, on which charac
ters of reformed Egyptian were graven.
The book waa accompanied by a pair of
spectacles of wondrous power, which
enabled Smith to translate the remark
able characters. This he did from be
hind a screen, while an amanuensis took
down his words. The Book of Mormon
was printed in 1830 at Palmyra, N. Y.,
a farmer, Martin Harris, putting up the
cash to pay the printer. Thus Solomon
Spaulding’s manuscript found its way
into print with such additions and alter
ations as Smith chose to make for his
own benefit.

A Photographer’s Story.
“An old man camo in at 11 a. m. He
Was right from the country; had mud on
his boots, and all the other testimony.
Ho was goin' west to his ‘darters,’ and
wanted a picture to take with him, you
know. I know all about it, and soon
had him in tho chair, the iron clamps
behind his ears and tho camera ‘gun’
aimed at his gray head. He was quite
nervous about something, and asked me
to wait. ‘I want my picture drawed off
to look like this,’ he said, as ho pulled a
a tin type of a young man from his pick
et. ‘The same pose like, you know,’ he
said, as he told mo that it was his son,
who had been killed at Stone River. ‘Ho
was a dear, good boy, he was,’ said the
old man, with a weak voice and a sigh,
‘and I’ll soon be with him.’
“I got him in position while he still
held iu his hand the dead boy's picture.
1 went through tho usual ceremony,
telling him, ‘All ready now, right still;’
and as I took the cloth from the table,
turned my back to prevent any embar
rassment. In thirty seconds I said,
“That will do.’ He never moved.
‘Yon may rest now,’ I said; but he sat
still and held the precious tintype as if
wrapt in thought Thinking he was
deaf, I touched him on the shoulder.
Still he did not move, and I noticed a
fixed stare in his eyes. He was dead.
He had died in the chair, and I had the
negative of a dying man. Os course I
got help and sent word to his friends.
The doctors said he died of heart dis
ease. I developed the picture, and
started as I saw the face of a dead man
look at me from the collodion coating.
It was a nervous day for me I can tell
you, laid I have always been careful with
old people,”— Cincinnati Titnr»-Star.

mean to slumber when he came out of
prison. He will be released on the 24th
of October next from Pentonville
prison, to which place he will be re
moved about a week previously. Eleven

Gross Carelessness.
Daring the war with tho Sonth, there
was a certain company of raw rtxirnite
marching rapidly to the front. Their way
to the outpost led along a Virginia road
which stretched over rolling country
that was dotted here and there with
clumps of trees. At a turning they saw
ahead of them a pine grove which grew
about a hundred yards to the left of
their path, but they were unaware that
in its midst a squad of rebel cavalry was
lying in ambush. As tho company got
abreast of the timber, the guerillas
opened a scattering fire on their flank.
It waa the first time that the recruits
had heard bullets singing over their

that the enemy waa within five miles of
