wife had FIVE children three of them are
dead, two are living; sixth wife had three
children; all of them are dead; the Oldest
was boy, the other two were girls; the
last four wives were sisters.
Father went to St. Joseph last spring.
When we were coming back he said he
could not fight the white men, but would
90 below and steal horses from them and
give them to his children, so that they
could be comfortable, and then he would
go away off.
Father also told me that he was getting
old, and wanted me to go with him to
carry his bundles. He left his wives and
other children behind. There were six
teen men and one squaw in the party that
went below with US. We had no horses,
but walked all the way down to the set
Elements. Father and I were picking red
berries near Scattered Lake at the time he
was shot, 1t was near night. He was hit the
first time in the side, just above the hip.
His gun and mine were lying on the
ground. He took up my gun and fred it
first, and then fred his own. He was shot
the second time, when he was firing bis
own gun. The ball struck the stock of
his gun, and then hit him in the side,
near the shoulders. This was the shot
that killed him. He told me that he was
killed, and asked me for water, which
gave him. He died Immediately after.
When l heard the first shot fired, I laid
down, and the man did not see me before
father was killed.
A shert time before father was killed,
an Indian named Hi-u-ka, who married
the daughter of my fathers second wife,
came to him. He had horse with him
also a gray colored coat that he had
taken from mau that he had killed to
the north of where father was killed. He
gave the coat to father, telling him he
might need it when it rained, as he had
no coat with him. Hi-u-ka said he had a
horse now, and was going back to the In
dian country.
The Indians that went down with US
separated, eight of them, and the squaw
went north, the other eight went farther
down Ihave not seen any of them since
after father was killed. took both guns
and the ammunition, and started to 60 to
Devils Lake, where I expected to find
some of my friends. When got to Bea-
yer Greek, saw the tracks of two Indi-
ans, and at Standing Bufalos village saw
where the eight Indians that had gone
north had crossed.
l carried both guns as far as the Shey-
enne river, where saw two men. was
scared and threw my gun and the am
munition down. After that travelled
only in the night, and as I had no ammu-
milton to kill anything to eat, I had not
strength enough to travel fast l went on
until arrived near Devils Lake, when I
staid in ono place three days, being so weak
and hungry that l could 60 no further.
I had picked up cartridge near Big
Stone Lake, which l still had with me,
and loaded fathers gun with it, cutting
the ball into slugs; with this charge I
shot wolf, ate some of it, which gave
me strength to travel, and l went on up
the Lake until the day 1 was captured,
which was twenty-six days from the day
my father was killed.

erai tribes, and make them anxious Tor
peace on any terms. -.
The expedition saw no other Indians.
The entire distance travelled by it was one
hundred and forty miles. One day was
spent in camp, to give the mounted scouts
time to scour the country around the head
of Devils Lake. This marching would be
an average Of twenty miles per day for
seven days. Where is the infantry that
can beat it? 4.

30 not Deceived.


The public arc particularly cautioned against
being deceived by some persons who from ig-
norance, selfish motives, or some other reason
represent, that Specr's Sambuci vino is made
OF oldcrbcrrics, or what is termed eldcrbcrry
wine. Spccr's vino Ia no moro clderberry
wine than pure port wine 10 cider, or than
Heidsick champaigne is gooseberry juice.
Its well known fact that the name elder.
berry wineis applied to mixture Of juice,
sugar and water, and sometimes cheap liquor,
in various proportions, forming cordial and
not wine.
The Sambuci grapes, however, need no
such unnatural admixturcs with their juice,
rs they contain all the properties essential to
q rich, nutratiye and valuable vino within
themselves. The thousands Of physicians in
this country and Europe who are prescribing
this wine as well as using It in their own
families in preference to oil Others, is sufh-
cicnt evidence Of its superiority over imported
wines, as we'll as over the manufactured sa.
CARED stuff, often called native wines. The
only genuine Sambuci wine has Mr.. Spcer's
signature over the cork Of each bottle. Its
purity for communion wine and its valua
bic properties for medical use cannot be sur
passed. Be not deceiped.-Portidnd Press

VALLAEDIGHAM IN EXILE.

honors and everlasting fame, sure, cey.
tain and easy. A months exile has
brought $4,000 otherwise careless or
timid Ohioans to his support. His
name has become Slower of strength
and though wanderer in an ensmy's
country, yet by virtue Of the persecu-
ton Of his foes and his own noble nature
and superior talents, he is leading "
victory as grand an army Of civilians as
ever appealed to the ballot box for the
redress Of grievances.
Every duy's exile makes this brave
defender of individual rights stronger
and stonger in the hearls Of the people.
He has alrsrdy received the nomination
by the Democratic party for the highest
Office in the gift Of the people Of his
State. And thu feeling Is 30 strong
in his favor, that an opposition eandi.
date will not stand the ghost Of q chance
for an election. Now the ball rolls iu
the right direction. Men Of Iowa, keep

THE RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS.

The RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS.
The grand jury Of the Court of o. {
and Terminer few days ago made =
presentment complaining Of the prs~'-
tice now so common Of carrying &C :
cealed weapons. The jury was q
opinion that the law on that subject
should be enforced, and that youn.
men, should not be allowed to car,y
loaded pistols, dirks, and other dan-
gerous weapons. All this is very wei,
but some Of the public prints took this
for text, and argued that private in.
dividuais had better bs without arm
(not merely loaded arns) than with
them. Now we do not think SO. TIL
federal and state constitutions give the
people the right to bear arms, and IL
these troublous times it would bs we'll
for every family to be possessed of I.
good riaed musket, 50 as to be prspar-
ed for any contingency. A hundred
or 50 Of shot and a few pounds Of pow
der might also provo. handy. They
could be put away in the cellsr out Of
the reach Of children or people whs-
might make an improper use Of them.
A sudden war with England might
find us in tho State of New York un-
prepared for an invasion by. way Ct
Canada. With the present manage
ment of our armies at Washington any
disaster may ne anticipated, the fall Of
the capital and tho invasion Of ths.
North even. Then it is we'll to be ready
to defend our homes and personas
liberties from invasion from any quar-
ter. As matter Of precaution we
think every family had better keep it's
own musket.-N. Y. World.

The present Governor Of Iowa made

crime have been seized in the night

ANCIENT CUPPERHEADs,

In times of the apcients, Moses rails
ed copperhead brazen serpent in the
wilderness, as typical of safety to life,
that all who looked upon 1t in faith
might live. ...
,'And the Lord said unto Moses(typi-
cal of the des1ocrats,) make thee a
fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole,
and it shall come to pass that every
one that is bitten Typical Of being Bit
ten by false pledges and army swind-
lers,) when he looketh upon it shall
live. .. ....
Sand Moses made serpent of brass
(copperhead,) and put it upon q pole,
and it came to pass that if serpent
(army contractor) had bitten any man,
when he beheld the serpent of brass
(copperhead.) he ved."-Numbols xxi.
SO.
Thus it will be seen that they had
copperheads at very remote period,
and that they were the only safety to
the people who had been poisoned. Just
so now the people who have been bitten
badly bitten-by the thousands of
swindling serpents who are for war so
long as it pays, and now, as in the days
Of good old Moses. their only safety is
in lekoing to the Democrat eopperheads.
Democrats are called copperheads
because they won't follow the lead of
the Abolitionists. Paul, then, was q
frst-class copperhead, and if on earth
to-day, and he should do in Louisville
what he did in Rome, when he found
Onesimus, runaway slave belonging
to Philemon, and instead of advising
him to take the underground railroad
to Canada, he converted HIM to Chris
and then sent him back to his
to serve him "both in the flesh
and in the Lord" Henry Ward Bee
cher and his ilk would call St. Paul q
of the rankest kind.
God has chosen the brazen serpent
(and no braze, serpent can be made
without copper-thsrsfors copperhead)
rs means Of safety from poisonous
things 1851 years before the Christian
era, and the only safety for the people
is, as i, the days of old, to look to the
for safety from the pois-
onous corruptions that now af1lict the
