INDIAN DuEL.-BorH KILLED. The
Helena, MOtana Herald gives the following
account of an Indian duel which took place
near Halter's saw mill, six miles from that
place on the 18th of March. a few Indians
were in a cabin occupied by some of the en-
ployees of the mill, when one Of them dis
played his revolver, at the same time expati-
ating on its merits and his own extraordinary
skill in its use. This he carried to such an
extent that another brave Of the party ex-
claimed in his native tongue. Ugh" you
cant shoot = and denounced him as brag-
CART, at the same time saying that he could
put him to shame at his own game, where
upon native No. proposed test of skill,
giving his opponent the advantage of rifle,
his favorite weapon. This was acceded to,
and immediate preparations were made for Z
duel in their own peculiar style, By this
time about twenty warriors had collected and
all repaired short way from the cabin,
where they marked off about forty feet-the
distance that was to seperate the hostile saw
ages. During these preparations the doomed
warriors looked ubOn each other with the
most stole indifference, ard the crowd waifed
for the denoument in silent wonder. When
all was made ready, the opponents took their
posi- ion for the last act standing with their
heels on the mark back to backbone with
a revolver and the other with rife. One
CT the natives had been selected to act as
second to both he took his place little
aside from the line of FIRE, waived a spear
decorated with paint and feathers two or
three times above his head, gave terrible
war-whoop, and on the instant the duelists
wheeled and fired. Both fell-one shot
through the brain, the other pierced to the
heart! Ihas ended one of the most extra
ordinary and tragic encouters that has ever
come within our province to record.

LONGSTREET AND WHEE-
IER

The Montgomery (Ala.) Journal tells the
| following good one on the noted Confederate
cavalry officer: About the time Gen. Long
street wrote his memorable letter, Wheeler
was a constant visitor at his office in New
Orleans. One day Longsfreet showed
Wheeler the letter he UongstreeD had writ
ten and asked his views upon it. Wheeler
read it, and was perfectly delighted with the
clear and manly enunciation of the views
and principles of the old war-horse.' He
suggested, however, a few alterations or
nterlineations, which Longstreet made.
Wheeler then indnrsed the whole, and re-
quested Longstreet to publish 1t at once.
The next day the letter was published. At
once a howl was. set up The people and
the press of New Orleans were bitter in their
denunciations of Longstreet. The visits of
Wheeler to Lnngstreet's office ceased, and
the little cavalry chieftain played the part of
the " artful dodger " amazingly well. One
day, however, Long>treet saw him " dodge ="
into a store, and followed him in, remarking
in substance :: u" Wheeler. why do you avoid
me : / don care about any mans speaking
to me but you are one Of the men who
read, corrected and Endorsed my letter.
WHY now seek to avoid the issue - Whee-
Ter t" wilted." and acknowledged that he
couldn't stand the pressure" SO it is,
and so the world goes.-Erchange.
II would be needless TO seek for a
better illustration of the lack of moral
stamina among the masses of the South
than is contained in the foregoing. 1t
is doubtless true that Wheeler believed
just as Lougstreet did-tbat the war
being over and the Con federacy lost
cause, il became bis duty TO honestly
acuuiesce in the new order of things
and obev the laws Of the land like
good citizen. But, like thousands Of
Southerners who were opposed to Sc
cession and rebellion, who loved the
Union and would have, if possible,
stuck TO their allegiance of the stars
and stripes, he hadn't the moral cour-
age to stand up against the ''pressure'
brought upon him BY the load moutbed
treason mongers bv whom he was sur
rounded. The fact that Longstreer
brought upon himself the curses of
these malcontents and that what styles
itself - Southern Society turned up
its snobbish nose in derision of his hon
est, patriotic course is the best reason
in the world for his recognition as a
trustworthy and proper subject for ap-
poiutment to Office by President Grant

The reason for the above peculiar
order is obvious. An enemy could ask
for no better Information with regard
to our coast deiensss than correct pic

the rebellion the Confederates often
found themselves possessed of valuable
facts IN photographs of Union lines and

Serious Accusation Against An
drew Johnson.

The Washington correspondent Of
the Cincinnati Times makes the fol-
lowing accusation against Andrew
Johnson:
The late President always boosted of
bis integrity and his honesty, and in
his farewell address promPously pro-
claimed that no one could charge him
with corruption, or with having re-
ceived a cent which did not rightfulIy
belong to him. 1t has been discover
ed since he left the White House, that
he carried away with him ali the
books of record belonging to the Gov
ernment, amounting in value % up
wards ofthree thousand dollars. These
books were mostly bound, costing
from thirty to ninety dollars each,
and were paid for with the public
money, and he had no more right to
take them than he would have to car
ry off the furniture paintings and
stationery from the White House.
These books comprise all the records
of the civil, military and diplomatic
business which transpired during his
term and of Mr.. Lincoln.
Before Lincoln came into Office, no
no such records were kept at the
White House by former Presidents
Lincoln commenced the practice, and
at his death all the records remained
at the White House, and came into
possession Ofhis successor. The clerks
who kept these books were atoached to
the Treasury department., detailed for
duty at the White House. It is prob
able that Congress will order an inves-
tigation, and if it can be done, compel
the retiring President to disgOrge. Al
person connected with the White
House, knowing that the books were
being boxed up to be removed, en-
deavOred to have them stopped, and
applied to a magistrate for warrant,
but as he had no title In the property,
and it was scarcely believed that
Johnson intended to carry off the
public property nothing was done to
prevent it.

hADICALISM AND IFS tRUITS.-Ine
st. Louis Democrat pOintedly says !:
"IOWa is q Radical State-the Yer
mont of the West-the State where ne
gro suffrage was adopted by the pOpu-
lar vote by q large majority. There is
no state in the Union, not even Mas
sachusetts or Vermont, where the con-
troll of Radical ideas and of the Radical
party is more complete than in Iowa.
IF, then, as its opponents assert, Rad
icalism means rascalfty, incOmpe-
tence, extravagance and corruption,
Iowa will be precisely the State In
which to find all these consequences
illustrated. No better test can be de-
sired. Iowa is out Of debt and has
S629, 900 cash on hand. Iowa grows
more rapidly than any other State in
population and wealth. Iowa is build
ing more railroads, and more school
houses and churches, reads more
newspapers, establishes more libraries
and enjoys q more thorough and faith
full enforcement of civil law than al
most any other State In the Uuion.
Ifextreme Radicalism results in that
way, what State would not be Radi-
cal? Vermont and Iowa, the extreme
States East and West, get the best
government at the least expense per
capita. Look at the taxation in those
states, and compare it with that of
OF New York, Indiana or Maryland.
"Out Of debt and $629, 900 cash on
hand, !" 50 much for extreme Radical
ism, sensible Legislators, able state Of
fieers, and strong delegation In Con-
gress.

AGOOd story.

The Bufalos found In the telegraph
poles Ofthe overland line new source
of delight on the treeless prairie-the
novelty of having something to scratch
against. BUTT was expensivescratch-
ing for the telegraph company; and
there, indeed was therub, for the bisons
shook down miles of wire daily. A
bright idea struck somebody to send
to st. Louis and Chicago for all the
brad avis that could be purchased,
and these driven into the poles, with
a view to wound the animals and
check their rubbing propensity.
Never was o greater mistake. The
buffalOes were delighted. For the first
time they came so the scratch was sure
of a sensation in their thick hides that
thrilled them from horn to tail. They
would go fifteen miles to find a brad
awl. They fought huge battles around
the poles containing them, and the
victor would proudly climb the noun
famous heap of rump and hump Of the
fallen, and scratch himself into bliss
until the brad avis broke or ehe pole
came down There has been no de-
mand for brad avis from the Kansas
region since the first invoice.

The Grain NIovament.

The citizens Of st. Louis appear in
earnest in their efforts to secure the
grain trade of the Northwest. Another
large and enthusiastic meeting of
merchants, real estate owners, bankers
and business men generally, was held
last Thursday evening at the Southern
Hotel TO further discuss the practical
bility of establishing and subscribing
to the stock Of the st. Louis Grain
Association. Governor e. o. Stew
ard in a speech before the meeting,
said that in the matter of handling
grain, st. Louis had fifteen cents per
bushel the advantage over any other
city in the West, aud that the present
movements was designed 10 restore
the lost confidence in the minds of
the shippers of the Northwest, and
TO show them that upon its success
depended their future prosperity.

THE SOLITARY CURL.-It is said,
by those who profess to know all
about it, that the solitary Finglet,
which 50 fashionably floats from the
waterfalls of our marriageable bellies,
has a language very significant, and
is indicative of the state of the Wearer.

part Of those Whowe them that they

length of this lonely ringlet or shOul-
der quene, indicates the desire-fOr

Once-if only moderately long it shows
that only good offers will be entertain
