AN IDYL OF THE PLAIHh*.
In the spring of 18(56 the narrator was
serving in the Second United States
cavalry, and was stationed at Fort Lara
mie. Previous to this there had been
much trouble with the Indians, but at
that time a profound peace had suc
ceeded, and soldiers and Indians were
living on the most friendly terms. In
the neighborhood Spotted Tail was sta
tioned with a whole band of red men,
warriors, squaws, and papooses, number
ing in all something over 3,000 souls.
Many of the females of Spotted Tail
were quite good looking. But among
tlrem aii more beautiful than
jHie dan,. titer of thy old chief himself,
#|K>tted Tail.
The soldier uho tells the story dot s
not remember the girl's Indian name,
but knows that she was known to all the
garrison as Pauline. The most classic
and (esthetic of mortals could not deny
bar beauty. She had a good forehead, a
well-formed head, features almost Gre
cian in their outline, and a form that any
woman might envy, it was so exquisitely
rounded, and yet so graceful and statu
esque. Her dress set off all those beau
ties to the utmost advantage. She was
18 years of age, and walked with a firm,
graceful gait, in which every movement
seemed perfection. She was wonderfully
neat in her personal appearance, and her
hair was always dressed in the pretti td
and most becoming style, and ue* <r
hung looreiv and slovenly ebont 1 - ei
-bead, as did that of mostst I’-' 1 ’-'* 8 -
\ . r , „ ... mn-wief, her father,
* No wonder the nfe* >
th - , _ mat all the Indians, as
vccl Lor. p'
Uq „„ ins whole garrison, felt the be-
influence of her presence. But in
&‘l the garrison there was no one who
conceived for her so great- a passion
or who saw his suit met with so much
favor us a young Lieutenaut in an in
fantry regiment stationed in the fort
Lieut. Livingstone was the scion of a
worthy New York family, proud alike of
the purity of their blood, the honor of
their farnii;. name and their undisputed
Health. He was a person of hue, manly
presence, and, as the narrator believes,
>.n honorable and high-minded gentle
man. By that undefined, undefiuable
something, call it love, magnetism,
electricity, what yon please, there
sprang up in the hearts of both these
young people a mutual feeling of sym
pathy and affection for each other.
Spotted Tail may not at first have
looked with favor upon his daughter's
choice, but, whatever bad opinionhemay
have had of the Lieutenant was changed
by a little episode in which the
Lieutenant was a participant. Some of
the Sioux had lately been' preying on
the garrison and hail stolen their horses.
Spotted Tail’s men were hostile to them,
and looked eagerly for the vengeance
which they knew their white friends
would visit on the Sioux. A little band
a'soldiers, in which was included Lieut.
Livingstone, started out, accompanied
by two Indian guides from Spotted
Tail’s band. The<*party traveled all
night through a most sumanfcie country;
the scenery had a sublime and lugged
grandeur, and theywpassed over high
mount* us and sealeS the edges of deep
precipices. Wien morning came they

fine animals from the Indians and rifled
the deserted camp of much rich booty.
The war had, however, lieen hotly con
tested, the Indians fighting like tigers.
But no one on the side of the whites had
fought with so much fierceness as Lieut.
Livingstone. He seemed to care noth
ing for his own life, but fought with a
bravery that was the admiration of all
who saw it. The Indian guides brought
back to their chief the story of Living
stone's valor, and, as the Indian prizes
nothing so highly as bravery, Spotted
Tail from that moment looked upon Liv
ingstone as a great hero, and thus beg an
one of tb.;se friendships which nothing
but- death ean sunder.
Time went on, and there crept into
“the poor Indian’s life tiie old, oh tory
\tf the pain and sweetness of a reat
love.
Lieut. Livingstone insisted oi • car
riage according to both the rites j; the
church and the red man, and according
to the testimony of those who knew the
parties it was consummated. In thc
teoautime rumor, with her thousand
tongues, spread the story tar and wide
till it reached the homes of the Living
stones in New York. The Lieutenant’s
mother was plunged into an excess of
shame and indignation at her son’s con
duct ; the father had a fit of most- mi
aristoeratic rage, and the valiant old
ruan started for the West, determined
to push on for Fort Laramie, whatever
lions or Indians lay in his path, and pre
vent this most unnatural and dangerous
liaison from going further. Out ou tun
plains dreadful stories of Indian massa
cres and border troubles came to his
ears, and the old fellow hurried back to
gout and civilization.
Beyond the Roeky momitains the
FoiJ Laramie idyl was nearing its end.
A few months of happiness went by, the
old chief loving the young man as his
son, the daughter evidently finding an
earthly paradise with her soldier lover.
Here we touch the shadow of a great
mystery. Was her husband true or
false? All the soldier* know is that lie
suddenly left the garrison with a scout
ing pm'ty. r ,..Was it to obey the call of
d'utyyyr hlViAie tiled cf his Indian bride?
For the thefud chief saw that his
beautiful prairie Kffl&r was fading, The
rest is soon told. In a few short months,
in giving birth to a Beautiful child with
the sanctity of a great .sorrow vesting on
its little brow, Pauline died. Aud about
.10-tHi weeks after th ;yomig life perished
too. In the mean-'.ime, many of the
soldiers had left to some Indian
disturbances that were occurring at the
time, and the whole story of Pauline’s
death was unknown to Hem. It was in
the beautiful days of early natum** 1 M!l ‘
the rare enchantment Liatohlcss
Indian summer lay, c*^‘ x everytning lu
the dying cd- -- -n t larely ocuutiful
dav in t’-'c fall of 1867 the soldiers were
V( p.ivrliing to the garrison. As they ao-
I 1 proached its familial - surrounding- they
were surprised at seeing a large con
. course of other soldiers in the garrison
mustered around some object. Later
they discovered that many Indians were
in the party, and thought that some
thing of an unusual character must be j
transpiring.
A nearer approach and a few moments’ !
and inquiry revealed the j
BigftMeaneß>of the scene. Spotted Tail |
and Iris wjn >lel> and with all the soldiers !
of the glims- ar had turned out to celc- 1
brate with the most solemn Indian rites
the funeral, of the old chiefs daughter
and her child. blue coats and gild
ed buttons of the no liets, mingled with
the fantastic at-tive ao| picturesque clife
plav of color showh BAthe braves, the
wailing of the Indianvtvomen, and the
funeral rites, made all the more solemn
and impressive to the mind of the sol
diers from the novelty and mystery con
nected with them. These ceremonies
were celebrated on a small elevation or
a mound. In the soldiers’ ceremony at
Fort Laramie Spotted Tail and his
whole band, the old chief riding ahead,
followed by all his warriors, and the
whole oompany uttering frightful moan
in gs. The squaws, many of them mount
ed on penies, came with their hair dis
heveled and hanging loosely over their
shoulders ami the front of their persons.
Looking around them the soldiers soon
saw the place designed for Pauline’s
sepulcher. On the top of four upright
posts the warriors placed a plain white
box about four feet wide, nine feet long,
and four feet deep. This box contained
Pauline, and in it the Indians placeil*
various articles for the young woman's
use in her journey to the happy hunting
grounds. Among these articles were
buffalo robes, various kinds of furs and
skins, two saddles, and two dirks with
elegantly-ornamented handles. There
were also three bows and a bunch of
arrows, made after the fashion of tin

: - box being filled and placed on tire
po! the chief made a signal that it
slum.. Ibe brought forward. A number
of ponies from outside of the cemetery
were brought in. Out of all Hurt great
herd there was selected one beautiful
animal. They then placed on tire j*my
their choicest Indian gear, spotted" rib
bons, beads, feathers, etc. Spotted
Tail then got down from his pony, wlrich
was similarly decorated. Tire first pony,
from the eare bestowed in its selection,
was supposed to be the best in the par
ty, and the other, as it belonged to the
chief, was, or course, thought not to
rank far behind it in excellence. These
ponies were, according to the Indian’s
theology, desigued for Pauline’s use
n ring the long journey she would have
make before reaching the happy
i. c grounds. The skins and buffalo
robe .'aced inside the sarcophagus
were u* her use through the long win
ter when she would have to wear fur
about her for a cloak aud around her
feet for moccasins. All the other arti
cles had definite uses according to In
dian RupernatnraJism, but the. signifi
cance of most Of thorn tho soldiers could
not determine.
In the account it was stated that Mrs
Livingstone, mother of the Lieutenant,
was searching for her son's child. Her
search will be in vain, for it died a short
time after the death of its mother; and
Its little sarcophagus is placed on a
smaller and shorter system of raised
poles lieside that of Pauline.
Lieut. Liviugvtone was not present at
the intombment of liis bride, and wo*
not heard of by the garrison for a long
time afterward. Later rumors state
positively that he is dead, and it is said
he ended his rather romantic life ou a.
voyage to Europe.

ANCIENT MEDICAL TRAINING.
Prof. Huxley, in his closing address
■; the International Medical Congress,
traced the origin of tho healing art back
to the Asklepsids of Greece, aud the
astahnay aud mexiy
cine to tint Alexandrian School of Erssis
tratus and Hcrophilus, The London
Academy thinks that the Hindoos have
at hast an equal claim to have founded
an art of therapeutics upon the study of
n atomy. In Hindoo history it is im
possible to fix dates ; but the best era of
Indian medicine was contemporary with
with the ascendency of Budilin —* A>t, ‘

is known that students were trained to
perform operations not only upon wax
models aud specimens from the vegeta
ble kingdom, but also upon *• the car
cass of a dead bullock.” It is said that
tiro Greek surgeons under the Ptolemies
wore permitted to experiment upon
living criminals.
A oexilkman from New York, who
spent a week at Mentor after Garfield
was nominated, tells a little incident to
iilu-trate the difference between Gar
field and his wife: It was on the 4th of
July, I think, when Garfield, who had
bought a pair of new carriage horses,
only half broken, started to drive his
wife and another lady and my informant
out in the surrounding country. Two
rowdy fellows, knowing who Garfield
was, got in the middle of the road before
him, and whenever he undertook to pass
would trot their horses hard and make
his young horses rear up and plunge.
They did this purposely for the space of
j two or three miles. My friend was then
attracted by something in the grip of
Garfield, and as he looked around into
his face the General said: “Now I will
take a wheel off!” He aid it in a very
low voice, which he thought his wife did
not hear, and his blood was up, and
with his heavier wheels he could have
carried out his purpose easily. Just then
Mrs. Garfield leaned forward and said in
a quiet voice: “ No, James, you won’t!”
“Yes, I will,” said he. She put her
baud out upon his arm and said: “ No,
James, yon won’t!” My friend says that
under that touch Garfield seemed ar
! rested, and in a moment ho turned into
j a by-road, and saw the fellows no more.

The- ill lowing, from Chambers’ Jour
nal, is good, and will well repay resil
ing : Oertoin faculties there are a re
porter must necessarily possess, which,
if not natural, can rarely, if ever, be ac
quired. They may be developed and
improved, if present in some degree;
but tiny can scaroeJy b(imparted where
the germ itself is altogether wanting.
He niiiih. posses* the faculty of intuitive
ly twnrug upon the essential features of
any occurrence which he may be intrusted
to .e virt, whether it !• a single speech,
a U~‘*r<v 9 peeling, or some important
public affair extending over days, or
even veeka. It would never do for a re
porter, either while an affair was in
ftvogff (is, or upon its termination, to be
anxiously cogitating within himself as to
what lie should retain and what he
Bhouli reject. All this must be settled
by th* faculty of which we are speaking,
and which must attract, as to a focus,
the really important points—grouping
them in their proper order and within
the accessary limits, without loss of
time or wry special effort beiug involved
m the process. He must also have an
1 intuitive peiception of the relative value
of wards with all their shades of mean
ing, so that he maybe, able to employ
ju*t *3ai particular word which shall
convey to the reader the exact sense
au llaeaning of the original. And with
thi* latter faculty must be combined the
gift of facile expression and natural and
covrefit arrangement, for woe unto him
if Lei* under tiafe necessity of writing and
rewriting before he can get his composi
tion into something like proper form.
A reporter, too, requ a well*
balanced niind, iv cool Tietul, and
an impartial judgment. We do
no’-'say a reporter should hare no fixed
principles, no private opinions of liis
own. but he must be careful not to al
loy these opinions to influence his re
poL*. In his degree he should aspire
to something like the impartiality of the
Jndjge, who, while on the bench, knows
no ting •( friend or foe, but decides
|i/ jjjj- up. a tb? merits, and altogether
\t from pirrioual considei
also requires to be ft'O'io con
rate him thoughts upon ins work in
My circnuistanceis. While
jjrn axe in the wildest he
Jtv>t be perfectly cool, and on
jJ in his work. Au audience, after
J|iving been held spell-bound by some
calibrated oration may rise to its feet,
ind, by vociferous cheering and th
waving of hats and handkerchiefs, give
relief to its feelings ; but the reporter
must meantime be that he loses
not one word of that elaborately pre
lareii and masterly peroration; or, if he
seek relief, it rntiM be in th* stretching
of his cramped fin Jos. and the re-point
ing of his jieucils in readiness for the
next speaker. At the scene of some ter
rible catastrophe, others may indulge : .u
symptoms of distress ; but the reporter
mut be engaged in taking a survey of
all the surroundings, and at the same
time making himself acquainted with ail
the painful aud oftentimes sickening de
tails. In times of political excitement
and contest, the caution, prudence and
judgment of the reporter are frequently
put to the severest tests ; and it will be
well for him in such times if he bear ia
mind the old maxim, to have long ear#
and a abort tongue.
P. S. Hrwer, a farmer, living in
Bucks county, Pa,, has constructed ou
his place a miniature railroad about 1,70
yards long. The ties and rails are of
wood, the gauge being 4 * inches. A

and three side tracks, seven switch-posts,
a ttestle-work 10 feet long, three turn
tables, a depot, six locomotives and six

thirty pounds each and the cars ten

being upholstered and containing every

Tbosb who think there i a mine of
wealth in the business of ahippiug grain to
Europe are possibly right, but the mine
would appear to yield its treasures to
other than the shipper on this side of
the Atlantic. Witness the following
charges on a cargo of corn consigned to
an A 1 tirm in Scotland, which is a
