Personal Courage of the Indians.

I From the New Orleans Times.
Old Gen. Twiggs used to say that the most for
| nidable soldiers or warriors in modern times,
were the North American Indians; that in every
battle IN which they had been engaged with the
whites they had held their own against over
whslmisg numbers, when other warriors would
have surrendered or beat retreat. The late fight
of Gen. Custer seems to add another to the list of
proofs OF the high military qualities of the red
man. In that affair, Gen Custer had eleven COM
panies of cavalry, nearly thousand of the best
| armed and mounted regulars. The village which
he charged and captured consisted of so lodges,
| and the warriors engaged in the conflict did not
exceed 200, and yet they appear TO have made a
most gallant and stubborn resistance, inflicting
severe loss upon Gen. Custer and succeeding in
making good their retreat. Now, had the poor
aborigines the advantage enjoyed by the ancient
Greeks and Romans, and by all modern people,
especially our own, of having historians and po-
cts to record, describe and sing their exploits,
what proofs of herosm, and even of military skill
and virtues, might not be afforded in the true
history Of this and of the many other examples
to be fOund in our own annals in support of Gen.
Twiggs' affirmation.
But, alas we have no Indian versions of the nu.
mereus battles which had been fought between
them and the white settlers of this continent.
What heroic details, what brilliant and sanguin-
ary achievements by small bands of half naked
and poorly armed warriors, over the best armed
and disciplined troops, in greatly superior force,
would not such annals present. In several of the
most bloody of these encounters which are de-
scribed in our own history it is shown that white
| soldiers were beaten and fearfully cut up by
small bands of Indians Braddoek's splendid bril-
gade was nearly annihlated by not more than
900 warriors. st. Glars terrible defeat in
| ficted by an Indian force of not one-quarter of
the whites, and at Tippecanoe there were not 500
| warriors in the whole force from which Gen Har-
| rison very narrowly escaped with force of five
times their number. There were never more
than 1900 Seminole warriors, who defed the
whole power of the United States for fifteen
| years, and inflicted upon our army and govern
| ment the heaviest losses in men and money which
were ever effected against their enemies by any
force fifty times greater than that of the Semn-
eles. Never conquered by physical force, they
at last yielded to gold and whisky, and of their
own will retired from the country which they
had made the graveyard of our soldiers. Ssch
facts these ought not to be obsoured OF forgot
ten, because they are true and historic, and be-
cause they embody wholesome reproof of that
overweening pride and pretension of superior
military virtue prowess and heroism on the part
| of our race.

Eating When Exhausted.

A writer in The Homestead condemns the prsc-
tice of relieving hunger when recovering from
fatigue, as follows:
"When the strength of nerve power is already
worn out, or used up. the digestion of food only
makes fresh demand upon it, and if it be una
bic to meet the demand the food is only bur-
den upon it, producing mischief Our bodies
have been compared to steam engines, the food
being the fuel and the steam produced the nerve
power. The analogy holds good to certain ex-
tent. If, when the steam is low, because the fire
is low, you pile in too fast aquantity of COAL you
put out your fire, and if You have depended upon
steam power to fam your fires, that is also extin.
guished.
beyond Shis the comparison fails You may
clean out furnaces and begin again, but in the
oody the consequences of this overlooking are
dangerous, and sometimes fatal. No cause OF
cholera is more common than eating freely when
exhausted. y &.S Ht'-s,t t.h 81
"Ths rule should be to rest for time, and
take some simple refreshment cup or part of q
cup of tea, little broth, or even q piece of
bread anything simple and in small amount,
just to stimulate the stomach slightly, and begin
to restore its power. After rest, moderate
quantity will be refreshing.
'"Nsvsr eat full meal when you are exhaust.
ed. Take frat small quantity of anything
simple, which may be handy, and rest Then
after time proper foon will be blessing, not a
burden. The fires will burn, tho steam will be
up, and you can so on your way safely

Information.
Do.sh Of an Old Cisl.ea of l.a Sale.

From the La Sale County Press.
Died. in this city, at 10 o'clock On last Monday
morning, the 14th inst, RICHARD CODY, aged
IS years. .,
The rumor of Mr.. Cody's serious illness early
ON Monday morning occasioned q great surprise,
~ he had been out ON the streets the previous
Saturday, and when the rumor was followed up
10 quickly with the announcement OF his death,
4 profound sensation stirred the whsle city.
Mr.. Cody was one Of the very frat settlers in
La Sale, was universally knsWn, and occupied
that position in our midst that his death was
felt Is a personal loss to every one To the grief
which is isseperabls from the death OF kind
neighbor, good man, and . generous friend,
was superaddsd the deep regret at tho loss OF ;
public spirited citizen.
La Sale owes much to the great energy and
business sagacity of the deceased. He was the
friend of every enterprise which promised adj
vantage to the city, and every movement looking
thereto found in him an ardent and constant
As late evidence Of his pablo spirit, just a
few days before his death, he placed his large
concert hall at the disposal of some gentlemen
who were organizing public library association.
Mr.. Cody was in all respects remarkable
man. Starting unaidcd in life, BY his rare tact
and talents he accumulated largo fortune, which
he literally used to promote the interests OF his
friends as we'll as those of the city.
His answerving integrity and great success -
business man made him very widely known
and trusted and his reputation was such that
wherever his extended business carried it, his
word itself was deemed ample guaranty.
Mr.. Cody was native of Kilkenny county,
Ireland, and emigrated to this country in the
year 1885. He first went to Chicopes in the state
of Massachusetts,, and remained there three years.
In 1888 he came to La Sale, and not finding any
business in which to engage, he removed to Nat
chez in the state of Mississippi, whore he secured
contract upon some public work There he re-
manned until the spring of 1889, when he return
ed to La Sale, and in the same year married
Miss Resanna Mclaughlin, who, with three sons
and daughter, survive to mourn the loss OF a
kind husband and an indulgeEt father, and who
in their ataiction have the heartfelt sympathy
OF all our citizens.
On Wednesday morning, at o'clock, the body
was removed from his residence to the church,
followed by large number of friends in mourn
ing badges, where solemn high mass was said for
the repose of his soul. The solemnity of the
services, the gorgeous ritual and the sorrowful
circumstances of the hour profoundly impressed
the large assemblage. The body remained in the
church until o'clock in the afternoon, when, in
the midst of tollng of bells from oil the church
es the funeral procession, miles in length, moved
through the silent streets, where all business had
been suspended, and slowly wound its way to-
ward the cemetery. where all that was mortal OF
the good friend and citizen was committed to its
native dust. RegafscG! an pace.
