averse to making confidences; aud it
must be added that few advances were
made with that end in view by the staff
—especially to The bulldog: His an
pear-unce and expression of countenance
did not encourage intimacy. He was
reserved, not to say stern; and the
fashion lie had of slowly raising his up-
porliji; and uttering a low, subdued
growl,generally resulted in tho retreat of
the person aiming at cultivating his uc-

I crossed at the same point in the moril-
iing. but in that case we had done so
j without difficulty. Now, however,
there seemed to be more trouble, either
in consequence, of mistaking the ford,
Or for some other reason. Certain it is,
that having reached the middle of the
river, which is of inconsiderable width,
the horses began to descend steadily
into deep water, and the surface to rise
iu disagreeable proximity to the shoul
ders of the animals. Stuart, as usual,
made light of this, aud pushed on
laughing and singing, when all at once
the horse of Cbl. Grenfelt. who was one
of the party, plunged forward, rolie
over on Lis side and went under, carry
ing the Colonel with him.
The occurrence was so sudden and
unexpected that the members of the
staff uttered exclamation's; but a mo
ment afterward their fears were reliev
ed. Col. Genfelt quickly reappeared
clinging in a matter of fact way in nis
saddle, and lifted his horse to firm
ground without, apparently attaching
the least importance t.o the accident.
He was drenched aud his face streamed
with water, but there was no further
indication that he had met a mishap.
His countenance wore its habitual ex
pression of indifference, aud be made
no comment whatever upon the inci
dent—quietly riding on, and apparently
resuming some train of reflection inter
rupted for Ih-i moment
The sojourn of Col. St. Ledger Gren :
felt at Stuart’s headquarters terminated
early in the winter of 1363-4, and as he
disappeared as quietly as he ootos, Lis
departure did not excite much atten
tion. He was lost sight of, and it is
doubtful if liis existence was recalled,
unless incidentally by any one at the
headquarters until intelligence came of
his inelnhcnol,' fate.
Before speaking of the incident which
terminated his life, I shall here repeat
the statements made in reference to
Iris life, I shall here repeat the stite-
rnents made in reference to his career
before my acquaintance with him. I
employ the word repeal as the particu
lars arc not given oil the authority of
any one known to me, much less from
any. statements made by him to myself.
They may or may not bo true; Thp
simple fact t hat they are-extraordinary
does nut prove that they are not credi
ble, iu this age of electoral commis
sions, Glassgow Bank failures and res
urrectionists of milliouares dead bod
ies in crowded thoroughfares, I have
no reason to conclude that Col, Greu-
fel i's career was uot exactly what it is
represented to have bften, and must
here guard the reader from taking np
tho impression that Col. Greufelt made
an unfavorable impression at Gen. Stu
art’s headquarters. I have described
the stiff old militaire w ith his bulldog
and habitual.reserve from the humor
ous point of view, but with no intention
of calling iris character iu question. If
lie was an adventurer unworthy of cred
it, he gave no indications of the fact,
aud there is no good reason to doubt
that bis career had been a very singular
one, evan if tho details might have
been a little exaggerated.
Tue statement referred to are as fol
lows: Col. Grenfelt is said to have
been the iliogitiai ite sou of a E lglish
uolriemau, and to have entered the
British army wlnu very y mag. Piienee-
forth nis life became one of wand ;r-
iag adventure iu miuy land', as to the

'ious lie had visited his pickets and
I shall therefore refer.to them briefly individual and his
there is no record.
We next hear of the wanderer, of all
places in the world, in China, where
he joiued the rebels, aud was the sec
ond person who entered the F a ace ’of
the Emperor when it was stormed and
captured. In this assault he received
a sabre stroke, marking him from
brow to chin—a detail of his appear
ance which I think I recall but neg
lected to mention in describing his
person. How long he remained in Chi
na is not stated, or in what direction
he wandered afterwards—but no doubt
back to Europe, where, “clothed in
turban and trousers, he was found by
some English tourists in the arrn v of
the Sullau.” Four armies had thus
numbered St. Leger Grenfelt in their
ranks—the English, French, Chinese
and Mohammedan—and he had proba
bly seen as much fighting of every va
riety as auy individual who ever lived.
He is next spoken of as lion-hunting
in South Africa, and as shipwrecked on
the coast of Spain. Finally he crossed
the Atlantic to take part iu the Amer-
oan civil war, where—he seemed to have
a weakness for rebels, to judge from
his esposual of the, adversaries of the
Emperor in China—he joined the Con
federates; the same wandering, home-
leas soldier of fortune, but satisfied to
live iu tents or bivouao under the open
sky, and careless of all things if lie
were only in the midst of what was“
going on.”
I have no doubt that this was the
secret of the old (oldiit’s organization
and the explanation of Lis remarkable
career. He w reetlees, without home
tiesj- martial in his tastes,' and hated
inaction. Ho did not seem to be at all
ambitious and evidently eared little for
personal comfort. He was polite but
reserved to ail around him, and iris af
fections were apparently confined to
his horses and bull-dog.
He was certainly a thorough soldier,
at least, and must have convinced the
Confederate authorities of the fact iu
order to secure his oomaiisimi of Colo
nel. This rank was bestowed upon
hiin^and he was .assigned to duty,
a«I have eLcw/u, with Gan. Stuart
as Inspector of Cavalry. This, how
ever, seems to have become wearisome
to him after a while. Winter hud
arrived and active operations were
over—in Virginia, at least. Col.
Grenfelt, therefore, drifted off to the
West aua joiued the famous raider
Geu. Morgan, where it is said that
lie was regarded as “the bravest of
the brave.”
After this time, for a considerable
period, nothing was heard of him.
At last intelligence came that he had
been arrested upon some charge by
the Federal anthoriries iu one of the
Northwestern States, and sent us a
prisoner to the Federal Botany Bay—
the dry Tortugas. Here it is reported,
he was treated with great crualty by
the volunteer garrison. “For tho hon

—An Esgle, measuring eighty four
inches from tip to tip of wings, swoop
ed down npon a flock of geese on 'the
farm of Samuel AleCune, near Zanes
ville, Q., on Monday, and a terrible
combat ensued for twenty minutes.
Feathers flew in all .directions, the
g 'ese standing up heroically to the
work. The eagle succeeded in killing
one and wounding several others, but
was itself captured by a fa-aior in a
condition of sore distress. Its naked
talons measured two and one-half inch-
the ranks down an an review when Mac-
Mahon singled him out, and said to an i ^Z'c^iana'if CtonwrdcZ
orderly: “Send that officer to me who 1- m «
lias a seat likeau English guardsman.”. During the Teeent cold spell
presented fo the world. A few weeks
ago as our readers have learned by
by telegraph some foriy Cheyenne In
dians at Fort Robinson were told that
it was the intention of the government
to return them to their reservation.
Probably recollecting v ividly how they
had been starved, cheated and swin
dled by government Indian agents, and
rendered desperate by such recollec
tions, they became very sullen, over the
news, and informed the United States
officers in charge of them that they
would rather die than return to the ten
der mercies of their despoilers. A sys
tem of heartless barbarity wa3 then
practiced toward them. They, with
their wives and children, were depriv
ed of food, fire, aud even clothing, as a
means of coecring them into | acquies-
cense by starvation and freezing.
Hence, though the prairie was covered
deep with snow, this band of red men
broke away from their guards, and
made a despairing effort for liberty
aud life, They were fired on and sev
eral of their number wounded and
killed, but, having returned the fire,
e remainder preferred death to sur
render, and refused to yield. Since
this luxe, they have been reJenttocxly
panned by United State* infantry,
cavalry and ar tilery, aadijoar dispatch
es of yesterday wind up the sickening
story with the announcement that “la
ter news from the field states that only
niue Cheyennes, all of them wounded,
we redcap lured. The balance of the
party (twenty three in number) were
killed. Seventeen are still unaccounted
for. It is supposed that some some are
dead from their wounds and that,-.the
others have escaped.”
We submit it that no greater disgrace
could be brought upon the country,
than is inflicted by this brief sad reci
tal of wrong, outrage and murder.
The aya’em adopted towards the In-
iliaus by the United States awuas to be,
iu brief, only to make treaties with
them, break the same, rob and swin
die them at will, goad them to desper
ation, aud then massacre them. This
is the same old story constantly repeat
ed of our conduct towards the aborigin
es. Out of forty men, nine, all
wounded, have been captured, twenty-
three have been killed, and of the re
maiuiug seventeen, it is thought
many have died of their wounds. What
a commentary upon the greatest gov
ernment the world ever saw? Yet we
call them savage! Which,in the name of
civilization,is most worthy of the term
—the Indians of their murderers? Is it
any wouder that year after year the
taxpayers are called upon to defray the
expenses of long and costly Indian
wars.
One of the most remarkable facts con
nected with this wholesale and bloody
Cheyenne massacre is the silence
of Congress in the face of such an out
rage. With the exception of a resolu
lion of inquiry regarding the affair,
introduced in the Senate by Senator
Yooi'hees, oi Indiana, we believe no de
nunciation of such barbarity has been
ncarl in the National Legislature. We
have seen Blame, of Maine, rise in his
seat iu the Senate and offer resolutions
ueclaring that the negro in the South
is horribly outraged. We have seen
Edmunds, of Yerment, introducing
resolutions of like import, and deman
ding that»the man and brother should
be proieeted in his rights. We have
st un ten thousand dollars appropropri-
ed toatenable a Sentorial committee to
ir.ivel abont aud regale themselves
royal luxury while hunting up these
imaginary outrages. Yet though the
facts are published openly abroad that
Indians, the wards of the nation and
the former possessors of our soil, are
driven to despair by maltreatment - by
United States officials, and are 4 theu
decimated by United States troops, not
a word have these eminent and model
philanthropists to utter in condemna
tion. The “poor Africans,” who, un
der l he.Ii.ind treatment of the South
ern wanes, is rapidly accumulating
wealth, being educated, and, as far as
possible, being taught to appreciate
and enjoy the blessings of civilization
in the South, is an object of the tender
er (?) soucitode, while the red man is
made the object ef robbary by govern
ment agenta and food for
powder, without arc* an axyrewdon of
sympathy over his most unfortunate
condition.
Buck a state of affairs needs no com
ment. It speaks foritself. The negro,
who really owes his enfranchisement
from babarism to that extinct -“heathen
institution.” is an object of regard by
Radical philanthropists, because he is a
means for making political capital. The
Indian is despoiled and murdered in
silence, because nothing can be made
by espousing his cause. Truly, the

‘Wrong”, said the General, with
some warmth. “I will leave you to
Judge of that Mr. Hill, who is an able
lawyer, in an elaborate argument before
the Governor, urged him to indorse
the bonds. General Tombs, one of the
most profound lawyers in the country,
and Mr. Stephens, who were not in
terested in the case at all, and many of
the leading men of the State were em
phatic in the opinion that the law com
pelled the Governor to indorse them.
I urged him to sign them. The Speak
er of the House aud President of the
Senate of the Legislature which passed
the act in question and its leading
members joined in the same opinion.
No, sir, the Governor has done his du
ty. The committee of the last Legi-
tnre, after nearly forty days of investis
gation, at the request of the Governor
and after sifting every particle of Tes
timony and every rumor and every in
sinuation by every enemy of the Gov
ernor, fully exonerated him in every par
ticular, and this committee was com
posed of thirteen as good, able and kn~
partial moa as there wen is the Leg
islature.”
“Were the*« a*4 wgeriftr mt afesr-
ty reports;?”
“Ok, yes; but’ both reports were e-
qualiy emphatic in pronouncing all tho
nsinuations against the Governor vile
and malignant slanders. The truth is
that the Governor'indorsed tho bonds
no sooner than he was compelled to do
so to save the roads from sucrfice and
the State from a violation of its o vu
pledge. He would have signed them
just when he did, if Mr. Murphy and
he rest of us who advised him had
ever been heard from at alL H is
hesitation ami delay and final action
were due solely to his sense of duty to
the State. This I know from fnll
conference with him long before t- Ley
were indorsed.
“Will this question be the cause of
any division of parties iu yonr State?’
“Oh, no; not at all. There is noth
ing ia it, absolutely nothin", to cans
or justify or excuse any J breaking ol'
parties or the formation of new par
ties.”—Baltimore Gazelle.
A correspondent of the English Me-
chanio gives one or two valuable' hints
for ridding, premises of rats. One very
good plan he says is to nail a red her
ring on the wall of the warehouse or
place infested about eighteen inches
from the floor, on this, place a brick
or a piece of wood near the wall. At
an equal distance on the other side set
an ordinary rat trap not baited.
The rats, iu jumping of from the
brick to get tho herring, after a few at
tempts are sure to fall down on the
trap*—This is a good permanent plar,
as it is soin ewhat above their compre
hension. If rats have undermined the
foundation walls, which they do some
times to such an extent as to endanger
the building, it is of no use to attempt
to stop them out by tamping their bur
rows with broken glass bottles, for they
work diligently to make fresh ones. A
better way is to put a shovel full of dry
sand oyer every hole. The rats will
soon come up through this, but in so
doing lets half of the sand into tho bur
row which, uulike earth, they can not
either force or carry up again, aud by
repeating this at every fresh-opened
place their runs become quite fillel up
again. By this means I Uave known a
granary that was terribly infested wi'li
rats qnite cleared of them. All their
rif barrows being at last filled with sand
they war* eosupellad to iaJta themselves

ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO.
One hundred Tears ago not a pound
of coal, not a cubic foot of illuminating
gas had been burned iu this country.
No iron stoves were used and no con
trivance for economizing beat until Dr.
Franklin invented the iron frame stove
Which still bears his name. All the
cooking and warming in town and coun
try was done by the aid of a fire kin
dled in a brick ovc-n on the hearth
Pino knots and tallow candles furnished
light for long winter nights, and sanded
fiooi'3 su pplied the place of rngs and
carpets. The water- used for house
hold purposes was drawn from deep
wells by the creaking sweeps. No
form of pump was used in this country
so far na we can learn, nntil after the
present century. There were no fric
tion matches in those’early days by the
aid of which a fire could be kindled;
and if the fire “went' out npon the
hearth” over night, and the tiader w;i3
damp, so that the spark could not catch,
the alternative was presented of wander
ing through the sbow a mile or so to
borrow of a neighbor. Only one room
in any house was warm unless some of
the family were ill. In all the rest the
temperature was at zero gmany nights
in the winter.
