REALITIES OF INDIAN LIFE.
The Adventures of a Sioux GIri-AE
Old Pioneers story.

The Adventures Of n Sioux Girl-An
Old Pioneers story.
A correspondent Of the st. Paul
Pioneer tells a story of Indian life
on the Northwestern frontier which
is better than the sensational drib-
blings of the imitators of Cooper,
who now fill the weeklies with their
lucubrations. This narrative of fact
says;
"Previous to the removal of the
Sioux Indians from the country
coded by them to the United States,
west of the Mississippi, and coun-
terrifying on both sides of the Min
nesota river, in the year 1852, a
murder was committed by young
girl of that tribe, at a village on
what was known as Lee Prairie,
lying between Shakopee and Belle
PLANE. The girl was an orphan,
and had been adopted by a family
there. but having no near relative
residing near to protect her, was
subject to the most cruel treatment
from the family; and, at the period
spoken of more particularly, as the
only one who had ever shown her
any kindness (the wife of the old
man had died recently, a grown
up daughter now made her perfect
slave, making her perform the hard
work and drudgery of the wigwam /;
and when from sheer fatigue, she
was unable to perform the tasks
allotted to her, would strike her
senseless, and otherwise abuse her.
At the time spoken of, she had ac-
companied her task mistress to pro-
cure fuel, and for some minor fault
was, as usual, struck with a club in
the hands of her tormentor. In a
moment of rage she shot her
through the heart.
"Happan, on seeing what she had
done, Immediately fed directly
across the country, and reached
Red Wings village, at the head OF
Lake Pepin, where the thriving town
of that name now stands, having
some distant relative at that place,
But they, not wishing to get them
selves into trouble, and not being
powerful enough 10 protect her, she
was barely tolerated, and the old
man, father of the murdered girl,
hearing of our heroine's where
abouts, at once solicited and OBJ
tanned the assistance of Thief a
famous brave of his band, to go with
him for the purpose of claiming and
bringing her back.
"'Thief pledged his word that
her life should be safe, but that she
must return, he claiming the right
to her services, to perform the du-
ties performed by her who was nc
more. But remember said Thief,
'for your sskes and at your request
her life shall be spared and the
spirit of the dead will be appeased
by knowing that this has been done
at the request of those who have
always been our friends, and still

MEMPHIS.
The ChInese Labor Convention


MEMPHIS, July 1.-THE Chinese Labor
Convention met this morning at 10 o'clock.
The attendance was large and chiefly COM
posed of planters and land owners of the
neighboriDg States and surrounding coun-
try. Reports were submitted from the
financial committee fsvoringa joint stock
immigration society, with offices at the
principal cities; from the immigration
committee, promisinga welcome and pro-
lection to all immigrants from China and
elsewhere; from the transportation com.
mittee, stating that immigrants can be
brought to Memphis in lots of five hun
dret and over from the Pacific Ststes, by
rail for fifty dollars each, and from Hong
Kong TO San Francisco for from eighty to
one hundred dollars in gold.
Tye-KImOrr Gives an Interesting
Account of his COuntrymen.
Tye-Kim-Ou, Chinaman, two years in
this country, now residing in Louisiana,
addressed the convention. He stated that
over 10000 Chinese are now laboring in
the West Indies. Among many much dis
tress prevails, bee .use they were not Sc
lected with proper care as TO effective dock
hands, laborers and artisans. Many we're
vicious criminals, who have been cent on
plantations to work at labor they are not
familiar with. Agriculturists can easily
be procured through the proper agents
from the interior of China. In Cuba they
are paid four dollars per month. Farm
hands are paid from eighteen TO twenty
dollars per year.
In China living lie 30 cheap that $50
pounds of rice cost Us there two dollars
Women work in the fields of China. Only
city women have small feet. One in ten is
lover of strong drink. Comparatively few
are opium eaters; it is a luxury that only
rich aud city people can afford to indulge
in. OF fifty now living in Donslds nville,
La, only one is a whisky lover. They are
all easily managed, being patient, industri-
Gus, docile, tractable and obedient. The
products Of China are in many ways simi-
lar 10 those of the Southern States, and
the agricuIturalists would easily become
successful workers of Southern lands.
KOOp-Man Shop.
Mr.. Koop MAJ Shop arrived ST noon,
aud addressed the convention, stating that
his house has directly and indirectly
brought thirty thousand Chinese to CALI
fornia, where sixty thousand are now en-
gagged as mechanics and on railroad works
They are paid from 80 cents TO 81 10 in
gold per day as labOrers. They can be in
duced to come from San Francisco here al
about $50 per month, but can be obtained
much cheaper in China, and under five
year contract could be had for $40 to $l2
per month. Mr.. K. says they are not at
ali times reliable unless security is eI-
acted, and will take service with others if
higher wages are offered them.
The convention adjourned until tenor
row at ten O'clock.
The DAILY Murder.
Wade Bolton was shot IN front Of Court
Square this morning by DR.. Dickens, a
continuation of a deadly family feud oil
several years duration, which has already
caused the killing sld crippling of more
than a dozen persons.

THE WEST.
Astonishipg the Natives.

L
ST. LOUIS, July, IA dispatch from
Omaha gives the following report from
General E. A. Carr, of his operations
against the Indians on the 11th inst:
surprised a village of Dog soldiers
and Cheyennes under command of Tall
Bill, and killed 50 and captured IL wo-
men and children. Among them is a
wife and daughter of Tall Bill. They
had two white women they had taken in
the Sabine. They murdered one whose
first name is said to be susanna. We
gave her Chistian burial They attempts
ed to murder Maria Weigel, but the ball
glanced on her ribs, and she will proba-
~ recover.
The surprise was very complete for such
an open country. They did not even
get off a single pack and left most of
their saddles, and will have no shelter or
food except horse meat till they can find
buffaloes. We captured three hundred
and fifty animals, eighty lodges, forty
rifles, twenty pistols, and number of
robes and camp equipage, which was
destroyed. The names of the chiefs cap~
tured are Good Bear, Whistler, Powder
Face, Pretty Bear, Stern Face and Bull
Thigh.
We followed them for ten days, and
found them all at the springs east of the
South Platte, near Valley station. They
went back towards the head of French
mans Fork. They still have many anis
mails. We galloped over fifteen miles
through hills of deep sand and our horses
entirely gave out and some died. They
will require several weeks rest. l am
coming to Fort Sedgewick.
A dispatch from St. Joseph, Mo-, says
Prof. j. d. Whitney, of the Harvard
Scientific College, with fourteen scientific
students, arrived here this evening for
the Superior mining region. They go
from this place to Denver and Colorado.
