The mischance Of our introduction was
forgotten for the while, and there was much
gay talk and much ringing laughter up In
the cloud.land At last we thought to do
scend and walked 10 the door. 1t was closed
and could not be opened! OF heavy con-
struction, as ] have said, held within by
chain and ponderous cannon ball, and hung
to open outward, 1t was unfurnished with
knob or other appliance to pull by. We
hammered on the stubborn portal with
might and main TO attract the attention Of
waited week for an answer, 1t had not
come. Then we resorted to the aid OF a
parasol, which, by the solicitation OF its fair
owner, | threw far Into the air. hoping that
IL might fall at the feet, or on the head Of q
slow-moving Individual whom we saw
"swingng AROUND the circle" We had
called TO him with all our voices, and TO
others, but In vain. Even the parasol would
not aid US; II transformed itself maliciously
into a parachute and went out seward.
Another was launched with a new hope. 1t
fell in the round garden, by the round foun-
tain, near the feet Of a stout citizen, who
sat on broad bench. The stout citizen
didn't notice II; he didn't move; he was
asleep In the spray-cooled shade. But we
had the satisfaction presently OF seeing him
rouse himself, take up the parasol and lazlly
waddle of and away. What now was TO be
donei No other person in sight. Few visl.
tors at any time ascend the dome-often not
one In whole week-and at this hour, the
sun gone down, such prospect of rescue must
not be thought Of
Only one desperate chance remained; that
entered the brain Of the youngest male men,
Der Of our party-a lover true OF the pref
tiest lady Of our three graces. That must
succeed, or we were doomed 10 pass the
night aloft-and how many other days aud

THE INDIAN WAR.

We find the following private letter from
a survivor of a recent Indian massacre, i'll
the Helena (Montana) Ga=ette:-
Fort BENTON, Dec. 30.-Dear Chad -
| left Browning on the LIST Of November
for the mouth of Milk river with twelve
men including myself; arrived at Fort
Peck on the evening of the 9th, and left
the next morning for Milk river. We had
travelled about seven miles when we were
surrounded by 800 Sioux Indians. l al
lowed one Indian to approach the wagon,
who first asked where the Crows were and
where we were going9 gave him some
tobacco and returned to go back to Fort
Peck, when they quickly surrounded us
and commenced firing. We fought them
a running fight for half mile, when they
succeeded i'll killing one of the wheel mules;
then we had to stand and fight. They
rushed within IS steps of the wagon; four
of the men were soon killed. Campbell
was on nv horse, upon which he made his
escape. Moses Solomon was driving the
mules; he was shot through the hand,
but stuck to the wagon until the Indians
were within thirty feet of it. We had
pony leading behind the wagon, which |
cut loose, jumped upon, and ran through
the Indians solomon following me with
the mule. A young man named Dwyes
mounted behind Solomon and succeeded in
making his escape. The Indians fired rap
idly, and tried to catch our animals by the
bits as we ran through them. How we
ever escaped is, and will ever remain,
mystery to me there was not single ave
nue. of hope but certain death met us at
every point. The men killed were Rich
mond McGregor, S. Montgomery, John
Thomas, and William Taper. They scalped
and mutilated the bodies most horribly,
cutting off some of their heads. We got
to Fort Peck, and on the second day went
back for their bodies. Four of our party
at the time of the fight were hunting in
the timber, and escaped. The Sioux
express their intention of killing every
white man from Fort Union to Benton
also of fighting the Crows and eros Ven
tres. We killed five Indians in the fight,
and wounded many more. Chad, this is
not good place to be in; the Indians
shoot very carclessly, and are liable to hit
some one. If they attack me at Browning
| will try and treat them cordially; | have
three pieces of cannon and twenty men,
and we are all on the fight There are
upwards of 5000 Sioux within a hundred
miles of Fort Benton, and all friendly (?)
to the poor whites. We were left without
anything to eat, and our bedding being all
taken from us, we were in a most deplora-
BILE condition. | have had my hair cut
short since | got back, for cases of emer-
gency. tours truly, n. .. HEED.
