Six or .even miles from where we first

muskets, powder, leaufetc , and used to keep
axes-shockingly, J>o9 r ones. I suppose
they may have nMi fieTMtrve' bifw, cheaply
purchaserl at the factories. Otten the tem
per would be so high, that on striking them
into a hard, dry log, the hit would break
and fly like glass. But in those days there
was not another place where an axe could
be bought within sixty miles of us. So it
was “Hobson’s choice,” those, or nothing.
We bought not less than a dozen of these
axS* of Huejdey fluting ike first Jour ysars.

cents. Father could generally pick out those

axes as brittle as glass, and guns all rusted

illustrarion ol the fact that iCa fnah sows
wickedness, a bitter harvest follows.
Tow ards the last days of October of the
tiurif jail, #W,|rofher bfipiuel, fatty'r and I,
set off OfleTOoOning to go np m fMeluer’s to
get a coupleof his axes and lay in a stock
of powder for the winter.] The joad, vt IpHil

We went horseback or rather mulebeck, 10.
we kept three mules to work on the farm
One of them, old Tigo, w as the fnnst viciojs
beast anil the worst kicker 1 ever saw.
Everybody in Oregon uied to rule a mule in
those days.
About four miles above our place, the
river runs (juxdgb,!) rocky ravine, such as
the lower Country lplks call a canyon, a

It was probaWy a surprise ~n both safes
But the old bear was the nrstto iccover his
wits. With a growl and a roar, he sprang
at the mule. Tige whirled about fairly
pirouetting on his hind heels, deposited lather
flat iu the path, and took the back track like
a fox. Sam. and I were in sight,and caugh;

As soon as we could master ifigip, ,we
pulled up, and, jumping off, tied them fo the-’
dry branches ol a fallen pine. Then, ajthough
we had.not a sign of a wjapon, we ran bark
to see what had become of father. We
thought tbs bear certainly had caught him.

or so of the place, Sam said we had better

little louder.

We drew a great breath of relief.
“Where’s the bearl” quavered Sam at
length.
“He's right here.” f : ,
“Ami where * the rifle'”* I Ventured to
ask.
‘■Down there in the path; hut ye can’t get
it. Bear’ll see ye.”
Then there was a pause of doubt.
“Sam, have ye any matches about ye’
Have yon, George?” father presently said.
We did not have a match about us, thanks
to his fatherly injunction against smoking.
“Then ron for home and bring some.
Climb up the side of the canyon, and come
along on top Then I’ll tell ye what to do
And don’t let your mother know a word
about the bear.”
Thus exhorted, we set off after matches.
Neither of us had the slightest idea of what
the bear or father was doing, for we had been
warned not to come out in sight.
As we ran back to where the mules were
tied, Sam said that one could just as well
ride for the matches as two, and told me I
had better climb np the side of the gorge,
and go along on the ridge above, to where I
could look down and see what was going on,
and be ready to help it' l could. He set off
at a gallop.
After following along

climb up oat of tire caayon, and, after a
har-1 tussle, gained the top. Keeping back

had heard father. Getting on my hands and
knees I crept down tofthe’ brink or the chasm
and looked over from behind a tangle of
ground-hemlock.
A queer sight met my eyes. I think that
I should laugh uowjbut I was quite too anx
ious then. Down 30 or 40 feet, among the
ledges, I saw the bear, as if in the act or
crossing on a drift log from one Wig rock
to another. Father was at the other end of
the log, on fhe ithef wck. Tie ehasrp
betwixt tlss two, roeff, was perhaps 2®
feet deep by (SVoAri in width. It was not
a large log, and the bear evidently did not
dare to trust Ifis weight ofi ft. In case he
did venture, father stood ready to push i>

And then moie stones would be thrown
across. Some of these fragments, as large
as a man's fist, hit the old brute’s heldinU

them much. After a lew minutes of this
by play, the bear would go down and run
round again, and then father would cross

The way they had got into ibis predica

was purely accidental. When the mule
threw him off his back, the bear bounded
directly over him as he lay on the ground,

he soon turned alnvrtf With another growl.

The Su’clde on tlie Newport.
New Yojsk, Sept. 22.—A dispatch
says the mysterious suicide on the
steamer Newport has been discov
ered as Frank B. Smith, Private Sec
retary of the Navy, Instead of
Frank Wheeler, the name given by
the deceased before his death. Just
after his departure from New York,
being evidently determined to Com
mit suicide, he forwarded a note to
that effect to his friend, and in fact
he told him that he should eomrnit
the deed that very night. In the
note he gave instructions about pay
ing his just debts, and expressed a
wish that the Fall River authorities
might inter his body before those
outside of his friends knew his leal
name. A few weeks ago he lost his
sister, which, together with the re
fusal of a young lady in New York to
reciprocate his affefitiotis, led his
friends to suppose that he would do

STARTLINa INCREASE OF TEE MORTALITY i
-MEDICAL AID NEEDED.
Fi'GJii tbe Savannah Newn of WedUFHtlay.l
The mortuary report to-day shows
forty-five interuieuts.of which thirty
six were yellow fever, to which
should bo added the death of Thom
as YlcGann, reported as resulting
from hemorrhage, bat which, we are
informed by ike Goi’enmy was a case
of yellow fever; nnd Jkwies Lindsay,
disease not reported, also died of yel
low fever. This will make thirty
eightcaSi’s from tlie prevailing epi
demic. The number of interments
yesterday was the largest since the
breaking out of the fever, being an
increase of twelve over any previous
day.
With the spread and increase of
the fever, the suffering and destitu
tion is also increasing to on alarming
degregs,- Tfe mitigate the sufferiilg

medical aid conies from ail quarters
and from all classes of our citizens,

that it is impossible for the physi

TIIK OREGON INDIAN TRIM Itl.H.
ANOTHER WAR THREATENED.
Wahhisotok, September 21. -Gen.
O. O. Howard, lit command 'of the
Department of Oregon, has arrived
hero to endeavor to adjust tlie diffi
culty with the Nez l’erces Indians,
which threatens to result in a geceral
Indian war on that frontier. These
Indians claim that promises were
made them by the Modoc Peace Com
missioner, Meacham, to the effect
that a certain valley, with its salmon
fisheries, should lie reserved to them
free from the white men, and that
these promises have been broken
through the influence of the State
Government and late Secretary De
lano. This valley was opened tij set
tlement and the whites had crowded
in there and threatened to drive the
Indians out. One Indian has recent
ly been murdered by the white men,
and both parties are now arming.
Gen. Howard is of the opinion that a
commission of civilians and army
officers could adjust the difficulty and
prevent a war, which would cost the
Government at least ten millibtt dol
lars. The Interior Department au
thorities seem’ to oppose Gen. How
ard’s plan, and it will be submitted
to the Adjutant General of the army.
GEN. CROOK’S COMMAND.
LIVING ON HOUSE MEAT
:M0 or 400 Horxr* i.iml.
Chicago, Sept. 21.— A speciul dis
patch from Crook’s expedition, dated
Camp on the Bollofoueho 15th, and
Fort Laramie, 20th, says a portion of
Mill’s advance guard is ut Crook
City, 20 miles from here, with Lieut.
Bulk uud Lieut. Chase, sending out
supplies. Mills himself is quite ill,
and will remain in Mining Town sev
eral days. This oommaud will be
within a dozon miles of Crook City,
and we are moving by easy marohes,
iu order to give man and beast some
chance to recuperate. The brigade,
officers and men, lived almost exclu
sively ou horse and pony meat from
the evening of the 7th to the morn
ing of the 14th. Wo have lost be
tween and 400 horses sinoe we
marched from Powder river, on Au
gust IlClh, and as many more are
iu so weak a state as to bo
unlit for service this season.
We made in our exhausted condition
a rnnroh of 35 miles, reaching Wil
low creek at dark, on the 13th. The
next morning supplies reached us
from Crook City, and we were
marching 8 miles to our eueamp
ment, on the B Ilefouche river. We
rested on the 14th uud got iu all our
detachments. Wo were unable to
overtake the Indians, but the latter
killed a soldier uamed Miller, who
went hunting too far from camp.
General Crook said yesterday that
Crazy Horse was the head of the
trouble in the hills, and ho would
crush it tills fall if allowed to go
ahead. To this end he had ordered
800 ponies from the Laramie plains
to remount the cavalry, and lust
eight issued an order supplying the
troops with such clothing and equi
page as were needed for the vigorous
campaign. All this is changed by
an order from General Sheridan, re
questing or commanding Geno-al
Crook to meet him at Fort Laramie
in order that they might have a con
sultation.
THE INDIAN COUNCIL.
THE TREATY SIGNED.
MORE TALKS BY THE CHIEFS.
Red Cloud, Sept. 22.—The atten
dance of Indians at the council to
day was much larger than yesterday.
After a long talk the commissioners
nearly uousumated a treaty with the
Sioux, Cheyennes and Arrapahoos ut
thisagenoy, tlie Indians agreeing to
the proposition made to them on the
7th iust., without the change of a
single word. The pVopositions have
already been published tn full.
The following names of Indians
were selected by their people to sign
for tlie Ogallulus, after the treaty
had I'een (end over and interpreted
to them, before signing: Red Cloud,
Young-Man- Afraid -of - His - Horses,
Red Dog, Little Wounded, American
Horse, with the words of the Greut
Father. Therefore, because lam
his friend, I have said yes to what he
has said to me, and I suppose that
makes you happy. I don’t like it
that we have a soldier here to give
us food. It makes our childrens’
hearts go back and forth. I wish to
have Maj. Howard for my agent, and
I wunt fo have you send word to
Washington, so he can come hero
very soon.
If my young men oomo back and
say that the country is bad, it will
not be possible for mo to go there. As
for the Missouri noar country, I
think if my people should move
there to live they would all be de
stroyed. There area great many bad
men there, and bad whisky; there
fore I don’t want to go there. A great
many of my white relatives have no
money. It they ure employed to go
to the Indian Territory to look at the
country I hope they will be paid out
t>! the money of the Great Father
that you have with you. In addition
to those mentioned yesterday, that I
want to go with my young men.
Crow, with a good voice, refused to
sign tjio.trpatjy and walked ayvay with
quite a show of indignation. Bht
But all the others who had been so
licited and were present affixed their
cross to the paper, a oopy of which
was sent to them at their request.
Afraid of the Bear, Three Bears,
Fire Hunter, Quick Bear, Red Leaf,
Fire Eyes Man, White Cow, Good
Bull, Sorrel Horse, Weasel Bear, Two
Lance, Bad Named, High Bear, He
Takes the Evening, Soldier, Star
Bull, High Wolf, and Big Foot Jim.
The Cheyennes and Arupahoes will
not sign until to-morrow; aftotr which
the Commission start at ohcO for the
Spotted Tail Agency to consummate
the treaty there.
To the surprise of the Commission,
after the Indians had offered their
signatures to the treaty, they hung
back, and speeches were made by a
number of them before they would
touch the pen and make their marks.
Red Cloud said: “I am afraid of
the President ; and you men
who have come here to see mo,
are chief men, and men of in
fluence.”
Martial Lae for the South I
Washington, Sept. 22.—The New
York Httrald says a declaration of
martial law again in the South Is
among the near politics, and is now
under consideration, if the present
state of affairs becomes aggravated.
THE TURKISH SITUATION.
TURKEY WANT* RIMHIA TO WTOP
HER V OGONTEKItM FOR HERVIA.
Uriiorted Rmnliin Rctllxnl
London, Sept. 22.—Tho Times dis
patch says the Porte is ready to ac
cord prolonged armistice, provided
Russia suspends sending officers and
volunteers to Serviu. There are al
ready 15,000 Russians in Servla.
The Telegraph’s Vienna correspon
dent says tho Russian Chargo Do Af
fairs refuses expressly to consent to
tho point against the Influx of Rus
sians into Servia.
A correspondent of the Times, at
Vienna, discussing the prospects of
a 'volongation of tho armistice, says
on the Turkish sido all is now likely
to go right, the Mohammedan reli
gious festival opportunely occurring
at this time with an extension of the
armistice apparently most like a re
ligious duty.
England having explained that her
proposal of autonomy for the insur
gent provinces meant control merely
of local affairs. Austria lias with
drawn proposals which she made In
dependently, bocause they coincide
with the spirit and Intention of the
English proposals.
London, September 22.—A Barcelo
na dispatch to the Time s says a man
ifesto of the advanced Republicans,
signed in Paris by Sevors, Zorilla
and Sulmeron, has been circulated
throughout Spain. Its most impor
tant provisions are the renewal of
tho Constitution of 18G9, with the
suppression of tlie clauses relative to
the monarchy and the equality of all
religions.
THE PLAGUE AMONG THE TUBFS.
London, September 22.—A Reuter
dispatch from Belgrado says the proc
lamation of Milan, asking of Servia is
enthusiastically received by the pop
ulation. It is believed the Prince
and his ministers only disavow the
act because of a strong diplomatic
pressure, especially by England.
The plague lias appeared among
the Turks before Alexinatz. They
are compelled to change their posi
tions every day, and burn tents and
huts.

London, Sept., 1870.—The report of
Daring, Secretary of tlie British Le

atrocities committed by the Turks in
Bulgaria, is at last published. It is
accompanied by a uoteifrom Elliott

fact that cruelties have been per
>etrated sufficient to justify the ln
iiiguafon which they have called
i'ortii. He transmits a letter from
Schuyler regarding (ho atrocities.
The report is also aocompauiod by
a programme of the Bulgarian insur
gents, which the Turks claim and
Burlug believes to bo authentic. This
programme provided for a general
and simultaneous rising. A large
number of villages, all of which are
named, were lo be burned, and the
railways were to bo destroyed.
The Government stores were to be
seized. All Mussuluten who resisted
were to be killed, and all Bulgarians
who refused to join the insurrection
were to bo forced into the ranks of
the insurgents.
Baring, in his report, estimates
tlist in Haneljak, of Phillpopolis, 12,-
ootl Bulgarians nod 2,000 Mussuimen
wore killed and llfty-two villages
burned. The Bulgarians burned five
small Turkish villages. Tho report
gives a circumstunoial account of
the destruction of each town.
It states that the most fearful
trugedy of the whole insurrection
occurred at Batik. Hearing that
preparations for a revolt were going
on Here. Achmet Agha was ordered
to attack tho town. Ho summoned
the Inhabitants to give up thelrarms,
but, -distrusting his intentions, they
refused to obey. A desultory fight
succeeded, laetiug two days.
On May 9th the inhabitants had a
pariey with Achmet, who solemny
swore that if they gave up their arms,
notahn'r of their heads would be
touched. The villagers then surren
dered t,hei~ arms. Then all the money
in the place was demanded, after se
curing which Bashi Bozoukssut upon
the people nod slaughtered them like
sheep.
About 1500 took refuge in tlie church
and baffled all attempts to fire it from
the outside. Tho Bashi Bazouks
climbed to the roof, tore off tho tiles
and threw burning pieces of wood
and rags dipped in petroleum, among
the mass of human beings below. At
last the door was forced open and the
massacre completed. Tho only sur
vivor of this slaughter to be found
was an old woman, she alone remain
ing alive of a family of seven.
Baring continues: “I visited this
place on the 3lst of July. Hardly a
corpse has been buried. Where a
man fell he now lies. In the streets
at every step lay human remains,
rotting and sweltering lu the sun.
Tho stencil was overpowering. Over
five thousand were killed here and
about eighty girls were carried off.
The surviving inhabitants lived in
wooden huts outside of the village
in great misery. To Achmet Agham
and his men belongs the distinction
of having committed perhaps the
most heinous crime that has stained
the history of the present century.
Nevertheless he had been directed
by his government, us have also sev
eral other leaders iu the cruelties.
Radical Lie Contradicted.

constitution, which forbids any qual
