From Pack ards Mon hly

At a recent meeting in this city, at which
no ladies were present, man, in respond
ing to the toast on E'women," dwelt al
most solely on the frailty of the sex, claim
ing that the best among them were little
better than the worst, the chief difference
being in the surroundings.
At the conclusion of the speech gentle
man present rose to his feet, and said:
81 trust the gentleman, in the Hpplica
ton of his remark, refers to his own
mother and sisters, and not TO ours"
The effect of this most just and timely
rebuke was overwhelming, tho maligner
of women was covered with confusion anR
shame.
This incident serves an excellent pur-
pose in prefacing u few words which we
have for q long time had it in our mind 10
say.
OF all the evils prevalent among young
men, we know of mono moro blighting in
it's moral effects than the tendency to
speak slightingly of tho virtue of women.
Nor Is there anything in which young men
are so thoroughly mistaken as the low esti-
mate they form Of the integrity of women
not Of their own mothers and sisters,
thank God, but Of others, who, they for
get, arc somebody else's mothers and sis
ters.
AS rule, no person who surrcnders TO
this debasing habit is safe to be trusted
with any enterprise requiring integrity Of
character.
Plain words should be spoken on this
point, for the evil is general one, and
deep rooted. If young men are sometimes
thrown into tho society Of thoughtless or
lewd women, they have no moro right TO
measure all other women by what they
see of these than they would have to estl-
mate the character Of honest and res
pectablo citizens by tho development Of
crime in our police courts.
Let young men remember that their
chief happiness of life depends upon their
utter faith in women. No worldly wisdom,
no misanthropic philosophy, no general
ization, can cover or weaken this funda-
mental truth It stands like tho record OF
God himself-tor it is nothing less than
this-and should put an everlasting seal
upon lips that are wont to speak slight
ingly Of women

the train on the persons of the men
were exhausted. My men, from loss
OF sleep and hard service, were wear
led out my horses were in the same
condition for want Of forage. /
therefore began my return march
about s Z. NJ, and found my train
of supplies at this point (it having
accomplished only sixteen miles
since l left it. Iu the excitement OF
the fight, as well as in self-defense,
it SO happened that some of the
squaws and few children were
killed and wounded. The latter
have brought with me, and they re-
celve all the needed attention the
circumstances of tue case permit
Many OF the squaws were taken with
arms in their hands, and several OF
my command are known TO have been
wounded by them.
The desperate character Of the
com bat may be inferred from the fact
that after the battle the bodies OF
thirty eight dead warriors were found
in a small ravine near the village in
which they had posted themselves.
L now have to report the loss suf-
fercd by my own command: re
gret TO mention among the killed,
Major Joel III. Elliott, and Capt.
Louis w. Hamilton, and nineteen
enlisted men; in wounded includes
three officers and eleven enlisted
men, in all thirty-hve. or the OFF,

ing his wound, killed two warriors.
can not sufficiently commend the
admirable conduct Of the officers and
men. This command has marched
constantly five days, amid terrible
SHOWS storms and over q rough
country covered by more than twelve
inches of snow. Officers and men
have slept in the snow without tents
The night preceding the attack,
officers and men stood at their
horses heads for hours, awaiting the
moment Of attack, and this, too, when
the tempersture was far below the
freezing point. They have endured
every privstion, and fought with IN
surpassed gallantry against power,
full and well armed foe, and from first
to last / have not heard single
murmur but, on the contrary, the
officers and men of the several squad
rons and companies seemed to vie
with each other in their attention to
duty aud their patience and perse-
verance under difficulties. Every
officer, man, scout and Indian guide,
did their full duty.
l only regret the loss OF the gallant
spirits who fell in the "battle Of the

our bravest and best.

How to Improve Our Sanitary Con-
ditiOu.

A great cause of disease is improp
er food and hurried eating. In order
fully to understand how to .eat anG
how to conduct ourselves after eating
it is necessary that we should be &C
quainted, in some measure, with the
process of nutrition. Many persons
tumble their food precipitately into
their mouths and swallow it without
masticatien, contrary to express laws
of nature. Food should undergo
thorough mastication and salvation
before it enters the duodenum and
becomes mixed with bile and pancre-
attic juices. This bile is there secret
ed by the liver. The ehyms having
undergone the changes adverted to is
urged. by the peristaltic motion of the
intestines, onward through the ali
mentary canal. Ifthe peristaltic mo-
ton be diminished, owing to the
deficiency of bile, the progress of
digestion is retarded and the bowels
become censtipated and dyspepsia
often follows. In such cases a thor
ough and active cathartic should be
used to produce specific action, arous-
ing the secretions and producing free
bilious evacuations. The best article
for this purpose is DR.. Robask's Blood
Pills, the use of which should be fol
lowed by ROback's Stomach Bitters,
to give tone to the stomach and aid
digestion. Frey & Ettinger, Sole
