Buffalo Bill's Mistake.


During the engagement of the Ned
Buntline company III Indianapolis, it
was observed that Buffalo Bill had grown
sad, silent, and detected. The Sentinel
undertook to discover the cause, with
this result
1t is well-known fact that not the
most trivial incident of the great escapes
the eye OF history thus it was with the
untamed hunter of the buffalo-his de-
jected looks ere nightfall were accounted
for: He had grown tired of the slow
monotony of life in the gay cities, and
longed once more for the bracing air and
untrammeled freedom of his native
plains, even as the thirsty topper after a
lively stack of the jim-jams pants for
the flowing bowl. But he did not intend
to fly alone. The arrow of Cupid had
pierced his heart, and long association
with Dove Eye, of the blood and thunder
troupe, in which Bill is shining light.
had made him slave TO her charms. 1t
may be well to state here that DOUe Eye,
who passes for dusky maiden,-an UNI
tutored and gentle denizen of the forest,
is native of the County of Wexford,
and passed her early years in the City of
CORK, III the Gem of the Sea. How she
derived her Indian descent, according to
the bills and posters of the company, is
not stated, and remains nut for the
coming ethnologist to crack. However
that may be, Bill was in love with DoUe
rye, as before remarked. He loved her
with devotion which was only equaled
by ms love for red eye. Yesterday he
approached the object of his affection, and
III accordance with the dime-novel code
OF etiquette, castssa longing look at DOUe
rye, and exclaimed :" Fly with me. Let
us once more live on the boundless
pralfle, never to return to the haunts of
the pale face. Toward the setting sun
we VIII rear our dusky race, and swear
them 10 eternal enmity to the whites in
general, and constables and other var
mnts IN Particular. My steed awaits,
let us go; or, l mean to say, we can take
the kankakee route-time shorter. and
fare low as by any other route"-said
blIi, remembering that steeds were play
ed out. q" Dove Eye, fly with me to the
desert; remember that there is but one
change OF cars on the great Kangaroo
through line. The heart of the buffalo
slayer is lonely there is no one to share
hls wlSwam, none to cook the leathery
buffalo when hereturns home weary from
the chase, and he boils the Joint of roast
dog and other aboriginal Injuries in
solitude. There is no charge for omni-
bus transfers, and two experienced doc
tors, with a full complement of amputat-
ing apparatus, on all through trains. "
William would have said much more had
he not been pretty we'll charged with fire.
water, and had lie not tried to encircle
the slender waist OF Dove Eye to give
emphasis to his woong. This change of
tactics brought conversation to sudden
close. DOCc Eye, the real and loving

has temper of her own, the warmth of
which is accountedfor by her auburn ring
lets. She made no reply, but picked up

with such gentle force and precision over
the bison hunters occiput shat he rolled
to the floor. I'll tache yees, We long
haired spalpeen, to be calling dacent
girl all thin names, said she, in brogue
of the untutored man from over the wa
ters. With this sole observation she pro-
ceeded to sit down on Williams manly
but PROSTATE form, with heftiness that
left him little.breath for war-hoops in the
evening performance. He has also dim
recollection that few handfuls of blonde
locks that he lost were twisted out in the
fray. As soon as DOUe Eye got out OF
breath, William left the room, sadder
and a wiser man, and will Mt once adver-
tise for another Indian maiden, prefacing
the same with the positive assurance
that no red-haired ones need apply.
