yell from every warrior as the two guards led me to the stake. How did I feel? Well, I was recklessly desperate. I hated to go without having revenge on some of them, and, as there was no other way, I gave them a tongue lashing. I called them women and cowards; I cited fic¬ titious cases, when one hunter had licked six of them; I dared and defied them to do their worst. I had them worked up until they fairly screamed for my blood, and I reasoned that the torture would not last long. I was stripped of every vestige of clothing, bound hand and foot to the stake, and. as in the engineer’s case, two warriors made ready to shoot powder into me. They were loading their guns when, out from the heavy growth of cotton¬ woods behind the camp, came a line of forty men on a run, and just in the rear of them seventy-five army troopers. I saw the men before any one else in camp. Indeed, they were not pistol shot away when the alarm was given. It was the quickest and bloodiest fight on record. Six of the dismounted men pushed straight for me, knowing I was likely to be killed by some savage, and I was cut loose and a revolver was given to me be¬ fore the fight was hardly on. In ten minutes not a living buck was left in the camp. We killed twenty-two, and the rest broke out of reach. Seven or eight old men, nine or ten young fellows and six squaws were likewise killed. We captured ninety-two ponies, a great lot of powder and lead, several hundred dollars’ worth of robes and dealt tbe tribe a blow it never recovered from. What we could not carry away we burned, and not an article they could make useful was left. —New York Bun. THEATRICAL GOSSIP. Ellen Terry is 47 years old.

A perfect avalanche of operetta has fallen upon the unfortunate city of Vienna. More than thirty works of that order are awaiting a hearing. This concourse of small music has resulted in owe curious circumstance, for three authors have chosen the same subject, “The Queen of a Day,” an old story which had been previously set by Adum. A corre¬ spondent heard this opera, “La Reine d’un Jour,” at Boulogne-sur-Mer, iu October, 1840. HALF A DOZEN FISH STORIES. A seventy-six pound catfish was caught in tbe Cumberland river at Palmyra, Tenn. Menhaden drove immense schools of weak fish into a gully in front of the bathing houses at Anglesea, N. J., and wagon loads were taken out. A lime sloop of Rockland, Me., was fol¬ lowed bv a shark, and one of the crew threw tbo fish a lump of quicklime. The shark swallowed it at one gulp, and soon died in great agony. In the enter ot the dining room of the Slevinskv Bazar hotel, of Moscow, is a large fountain filled with fish, from which, when you order one, the waiter catches it alive with a dipnet before your eyes. While George Lindley was working on the banks of the Sangamon river, near Decatur, Ilfs., ho pulled a hollow log from the rivet and found in it a catfish tliree feet six inches long which weighed forty-two pounds.

Where the liuttons Came From. “Where did you get nil those buttons?” asked a lady of a little boy who had a thousand or more on a string. “Why,” was the reply, “don’t you know pa is a minister?” “Yes,” returned the lady, “but what has that got to do with it?” “Everything,” said tbe boy; “because he has the sorting of the collection bas¬ ket.
