HOW INDIANS ESCAPE THEIR PBR.
SUERS,

During the early part Of the flight every
precaution is adopted to prevent leaving
heavy trail, or one easily to be followed; to
this end, instead of moving, as is custom
airy, in single file, thereby leaving clearly
defined path, each warrior moves indie
pendently of his fellows, until all danger
from pursuit is safely passed, when the par
ty falls into single file, and, with the chief
at the head, moves along in almost unbrok-
en- silence. If during an attack upon the
frontier settlements the Indians should ell
counter unexpected and successful resist
ance, necessitating premature withdrawal
and fight on their part, they still resort to
stratagem in order to secure their safety.
In accordance with plan previously formed
and understood by each member of the
party, and specially provided for an emer-
gency, the war party finding themselves
about to encounter successful resistance on
the part of the frOntiernen beat hasty
retreat; but instead of taking their flight in
a single direction and in one party, thereby
leaving an unmistakable clue for their pur-
suels; the entire party breaks up into nu-
merous smaller bands, each apparently
fleeing in an Independent direction, a few
of the best mounted usually falling behind

give time to those of the party who are
burdened with prisoners and captured
stock to make good their escape. In such
an emergency as this, Il rendezvous for
the entire party has been previously
fixed upon. Its location is usually
upon or near some water-course or prOTni-
nent Landmark, distant perhaps thirty or
forty miles; thither all smaller parties di-
rect their course, each by a separate and
usually circuitOus course. Should either
of these smaller parties find themselves
closely pursued, or their trail being fol-
lowed, and all efforts to throw the pUrSuerS
off prove unavailing, they rel1nquish the
plan of uniting with the others at the es-
tablished rendezvous, as that would iInperil
the safety of their comrades, and select a
new route leading neither in the direction
of the rendezvous nor of the village, in order
not only to elude but to miSlead their pur-
suers. Then ensues a long and tireSOme
flight until, having worn out or Outwltted
their pursuers, of whose movements they
keep themselves thoroughly informed,
they make their way in safety to the
village At the latter, lOOkOutS are con-
stantly kept on some prominent hill to
watch the coming of the absent warriors
and give notice of their approach. y war
party returning from a successful raid into
the settlements, and bringing with them
prisoners and captured stock, is an event
of the greatest importance tOevery occupant
of the village. Having arrived within
few miles of the village, and feeling safe
from pursuit, the chief in command of the
war party causes signal smoke to be sent
up from some high point along the line of
march, well knowing that watchful eyes
near the village are on the alert and will
not fail to observe the signal and under
stand its meaning.-GenerGl Custer, IN

IN ,MEMORIAM.

Died, at Chattanooga, at O'Clock P Il ON
Tuesday, Nov. Is, Mr.. THADDEUS BREW.
The funeral will take place from the resi-
dence of Mr.. James Simmons, corner Of Church
and High streets, this morning, at 81 o'clock.
when the remains will be conveyed to the C8the-
draI where a solemn High Mass will be cele-
brated for the repOse of his soul, at 10 O'Clock.
Mr.. BREW came to this country in 1850 and
settled in Cincinnati, from whence he came to
this city, winning hosts of friends in both places
by his genial manners, his strict integrity, and
his superior business qualifications. He was the
idol of his family, and beloved by all who had
the pleasure OF his acquaintance.
About seven years ago SIR. BREW settled in
Chattanooga, where, as here and in Cincinnati,
he was highly respected. The Chattanooga Daily
Commercial, of Wednesday last, thus speaks OF
him:
DEATH OF Mr.. BREw.-We regret to learn OF
the death of THAD BREW, which took place yes
terday evening at o'clock. Mr.. BREW was one
of our most successful grocery merchants he
came to this eitv about seven years ago, and
from small beginning, succeeded in building
up one of the largest establishments IN the city.
He was public-spiTited man, and the proceeds
of his business were invested in the erection OF
buildings which are a credit TO the city. his
acquaintance was large, and especially among
.his Irish fellow e0untrymen and members OF
the Catholic Church. of which he was an afee-
tomato and generous son, his influence was I'M
bounded.
The loss created by the death Of this estilnable
gentleman cannot easily be repaired

POLICE PICKINGS.

Francis ellis, Of the United States army,
was arraigned. and a horde of females by
the name Of Tank were called as witnesses,
Just as if the soldier were going to plead
not guilty. The court informed Mr. g.,
the soldier, that he was charged with what
in civil law was termed assault and battery,
but what in martial law was called Skin
mishing, and that the object of his resent
ment had been one Jennie Williams. The
Court-"Are you guilty or not guilty?''
Mr.. Cd belief l sthruck her. The
Court-"How many times 2" Mr.. G..
thought he ''sthruck7 about one time. A
witness testified that Mr.. G. had slapped
Jennie against the mantle-piece, BACKED
her ewes by pugiliStic conclusions. and had
ended by kicking her down stairs. When
the witness finished. all eyes were turned
toward the accused who grinned assent to
the testimony, and turned his eyes to the
Court to hear the sentence. The Court
mentioned ten dollars as a suitable fine.
and passed to the next case.
Mr.. L. Rosenheim was allowed an OPP
portunity to eXculpate himself of the
charge Of having DISTRACTED sidewalk
with boxes, trunks, goods, etc. Mr.. r.
was allowed to make his statement, and a
witness was allowed to make has state
ment. Mr.. r. was allowed to Cross-eXam-
inc witness. which he did with more or less
credit. The court thought small fine
would not he unwholesoIne. and so impOS-
Ell it. Mr.. r., in SupermImary reply to
the court said: Il guess I'll have to fight it
out. Guess I'll have to sue myself on
that" Which words, though little awk-
wardly put, our reporter interprets as no
LITIGATION that Mr.. r. intends to carry his
case up to the Supreme Court on an APP
peal. writ of error or some other process,
just so he gets it there. Our reporter was
told by city official that the business of
blocking up the sidewalks, which is be-
coming quite common nowadays, would
be henceforth regularly interfered with,

last night to Miss Mary Meyer, one Of Edge

daughters. The marriage ceremony oc-
CURED at st. Columbus Church, and the

mainder of the evening was devoted to
dancing. The bride is the eldest daughter

perpetual love and felicity.
At the magnificent supper prepared for
the guests by the father Of the bridegroom,
the following lines, written by a lady of
this city, were read as a friendly greeting
to bride and bridegroom:
We bid YOU JOY to your welded life;
Nav the sunshine's brightest ray
Beam down on you man and wife,
And bless you every day.
Nav YOU together, hand in hand,
Along life's journey 60;
Your hearts united by loves band,
May sorrow never know.
May all your paths be strewn with flowers,
And fortune smile on YOU:
In love and happiness spend the hours
May all your friends prove true.
Yet, should a cloud your sky oercast,
And sorrow fill your breast,
Cling to each other to the last,
And trust to God the rest.
And when time changes youth for age,
Together you've grown old
MAY angels write on life's last page,
Peace! valued more than gold.

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION.
Geo. &. CabIer the victim.

The Memphis Appedl of the 18th says:
"Between one and two O'Clock yesterday
morning a dastardly attempt was made to
aSsaSSinate Mr.. George c. Cabler, financial
detective and city reporter of Bradstreet' S

whereupon its owner made desperate eff

severe Stabs in Mr.. Cabler's right side. The

ward the door, and, running down thestair-
way, glided out into the darkness. The
wounds are close together and not at all

HINnOO RELIES.

"The Hindoo women" says a writer i'll
FrGser'S Magazine, attracted me most by
their graceful carriage, their picturesque
drapery, consisting of full skirt and a sort
of burnOus, which passes over the head, al
most completely yelling the face. These
vary in color, being sometimes bright blue
and pink and yellow, the skirt often Dor
dered with a hem of some other color,
often very gaudy, but the dark skin
harnonizes it all. The most artistic, to
my mind. is the deep indigo blue, but it is
more rare in the northwest than in south
ern India, where almost all the lower classes
of women wear it. 1t is pleasant to watch
the easy grace with which they walk,
bearing round, red earthenware or bright
copper water-iarS on their heads, steadying
their burden with one well-shaped, small
wristed, dusky ann stretched up to its full
length. and covered almost to the elbow,
and sometimes above it with numbers of
bracelets. These are sometimes silver,and
Oftener plated metal or red and green lace.
| once heard of school, the pupils of
which were trained to walk about with
tumblers of cold water on their heads;
and when l saw the tirm-fOoted, easy grace
of these burden-bearing women, regretted
InaJ the pracIICe was IlOI UNIVERSAL AhO
pale-faced race may perhaps pride itself on
its superiority in the use Of the contents
of its head, but these dusky daughters of
the sun certainly Guido their more favored
sisters in the use they make of the outside
of theirs. They carry everything on their
heads, jars of water, pieces OF cloth, baskets
of vegetables, huge bundles of sugar-cane,
fuel, anything and everything, leaving their
hands free for any additional burdens.
They do not even carry their little black
babies in their arms, but either balance
them astride on their shoulders with their
little hands on their mothers head, or else
astride on one hip, encircled with a strong
arm. | have seen a woman with four
water,jars towering on her head and her
little baby ON her hip, walking along with
springy grace, jingling her silyery anklets
and toe-bells as she went"

How to Live EcOnOmically.-Ihe prob
lem of how to economize in living is one
that engages the serious attention Of great
many people. ''Many little makes a
mickle," was one of Benjamin Franklin's
.sPoor Richard" truisms that summarizes
the whole system of popular extravaganza.
If you wish to save money, economic in
little as well as in large items Of expendi-
ture. For all the household purposes for
which polishing powders, Bath brick and
soap are usually used, excepting the one
thing of washing clothes, Sapolio is by
many times the cheapest article that can be
employed. To say nothing about its great
superiority to all other substances, it is, on
the score of money alone, by far the cheap
est. Remember this fact and save many
dollars every year. nOv15 dlw&w1t

'The ocean stretched away in silent vast
ness at our feet; the sound of waves scarcely
reached our airy lookout; away in the
north the huge old sun swung low along the
horizon, like the slow beat Of the pendulum
in the tall clock of our grandfather's parlor
corner. We all stood silent, looking at our
watches. When both hands came together

triumphantly above the waves, bridge of
gold running due north spanning the waves
between us and him. There he shOne in

heaven and mountain. In half an hour the

the colors changed to those. of morning,
fresh breeze rippled over the floor, one
songster after another piped up in the grove
behind us-we had slid into another day"
