THE GAUNTLET.
The Indians in the pioneer days Of the West
captured great many prisoners, and many
were compelled to run the gauntlet, which con-
sisted of two ranks of Indian warriors facing
each other and far enough apart 50 that the
weapon used by each warrior would reach to
the center Ot the space their line would extend
from so to IS rods, according ~ the number of
warriors present; the Indians would stand
about three feet apart, each with his war club,
scalPing knife or tomahawk raised, and entitled
To one perpendicular blow at the victim as he
passes along the lines. II they passed safely
through such a murderOus line ms this their
lives were spared. Through sueh a line James
Whittaker, the first white settler in Saudusky
unity was compelled 10 run at SnptOwn, then
IN chland county the lines were formed and
the deadly weapons raised by the savagcs.
Whitaker started through the lines-half Of
the distance was made, when a squaw in the
rear Of the warriors, who wished to have him
killed, spranR forward and caught hold Of him
% that the decending stroke Of the next
Indians weapon would kill him. Thus situated
Whitaker kicked back and sent the squaw aud
Indian rolling upon the ground. This incident
caused a shout Of laughter from the indians
along the line, and diverted their attention so
that he passed through with slight injury. The
Indians not satisfied with this trial decided that
he should run again, when an old Indian squaw
came forward and taking of her blanket from
heI sh"uIueIh W VIC presence ~ tno luulhn
braves assembled, hhe cast II over Whitaker,
thereby saying to tho assembled warriors, "that
Whitaker was her son. he Is one Of us you
must not kill him." Thus was the life of James
Whitaker saved and by this motherly squaw's
act adopted by the Indians as one Of their peo-
pie.

In the United States Senate few days since
Mr.. SHERNAN's tariff bill was tackled on as an
amendment to the House bill abolshing the
duty on tea aud coffee, and passed by a large
majority. It has fared badly in the House, how
ever, that body having by the decisive vote OF

cause OF the summary disposition the House
made Of the bill.
