AN AMUSING INDIAN SToRY,-The
distance between my post and Santa
Fe was over 300 miles, and to facil
tate matters, / was ordered 20 survey
a new and short route, emitting of
about 40 miles. A company number
ing eighty men was detailed for the
purpose, and as the course lay partly
through wooded region, a consider
able squad was required to act as axe
men. Three or tour lively black and tar
terriers accompanied the command,
affOrling no little amusement by their
activity in swapping up unwary
gophers, RATS, mice and other vermin.
The abor1gines who frequently honor
ed us with their presence, claiming to
be " Good Indian, me-" were exces-
siyely pleased at those performances
On a certain occasion one stalwart
fellow, who spoke a few words of Eng
lish, said to me:
"Nantanh, heap good dog.n

and tails are trimmed that they get
around so liyely.n

so he called two men, and bade one

his tail with an are. This did not
suit Redskin, who refused to trust his
favorite to the tender mercies of q
savage white man, and preferred tO
perform the operation himself. there

the dogs tail over convenient log
while the other held his head and
fore-paws. All being ready, the In

using it as any other person would

sudden pull, while the Yue at the head
gave q corresponding push. Dowr
