THREE DAYS HEROIC BATTLE WITH L.
DIANs.-The Topeka (Kansas) Commonwealth
OF late date, speaking of a party of hunters
having been surrounded by the Indians on the
Cimaron, seventy-1ive miles from Caldwell,
says: 80 esterday tuesday they managed 10
send IN word again to the effect that they were
SUI hghtiDg; that eight of their number had
been killed, hut that they had made sixteen In
dams bite the dust. The savages had obtained
endorsements and were gradually hemmjn
them in and rendering escape impossible
They implore immediate help, and send wort
that they cannot hold ont gainst the opposing
force much longer. They have managed 10
keep the Indians at bay thus far, but they will
grow more bold as they become stronger. Dis
patches to this effect were sent to Gov. Osborn
Yesterday, and were forwarded to Gen. Pope
The defence made by this handful of men
against four times the number of Indians has
been most heroic one, and proves the grit and
lndomitable courage of the men of the border
1t is only question of time, however when
they must succumb 10 superior force and their
yalor be laid low and their gallant conduct be
as tale that is told. Even now the relentless
and blood thirsty Cheyennes aud Kloyas NAV
have closed in upon them and butchered them
without mercy. They will not die unRyenged
however. The blood of the frontiersmen is M
and these murders and scalpins are but the
prologue to merciless war of determination
which has been long threatening, but which,
We believe. will be now waged ntil the last In
dian shall bite tie dust.

INSANE CRIMINALs.-I.iZzie King, better
known as Kate Stoddard, who has figured so
coDspicuously in the Goodrich m 1rder mystery,
was in the Kings county court of sessions at
New York on Monday morning before Judge
Moore, for an examination as to her sanity. a
great number Of affidavts, including those OF
former schoomates, neighbors and employees of
the prison, were produced. As soon as Mr..
Grey, Rates counsel, began to read these AFT
davis, the prisoner jumped from her seat in an
excited manner, ran round from the rear of the
jury box, where she had been seated to the
counsel. and attempted to seize the papers he
vas reading, exclaiming: 'sYou shan't read
them; won't submit to il; IL is an insult. You
are not my counsel" An officer caught hold of
her and thrust her back, having TO use consid-
cradle force, as she struggled violently to free
herself. The examination was adjourned, but
not until evidence had been presented showing
Kate to be dangerous person to be at large or
as one of the physicians remarked, one who as
apt to do violence TO others.
Poor Mira. Dryer, the woman who killed her
three Children and attempted to k,ll her hus-
band in north 18th street about a month since
was also in court The physicians testified to
having made an examination as to the mental
condition OF Mrs. Dryer, and were convinced
that she was insane. Her insanity was of sui
c'dal tendency, and she was a dangerous person
to be at large. Her excitement on the occasion
OF the murder OF her children was brought on
about the coopers' strike and the want OF pro-
per food. TIE court issued an order for her
committal to the asylum at POushkeepse.

have dreamed or imagined that they
were crucified and suffering the pains OF
Christ, having invoked the goodness OF
God to let them have that suffering to
punish them for their faults The most
remarkable fact of that kind is that con-
cerning st. Francis of Assist There is
no doubt that he had the mark as clear
as possible. If you compare with this
fact one which is related by DR.. Carter,
you will have the explanation of it. DR.
Carter says that while a mother was
looking at her child, who was standing
at a window with the fingers on the bor-
der of the window just under the lifted
sash, she saw the sash come down with
great force and crush the three fingers OF
the poor child. The mother remained
unable to move. feeling Immediately a
pain on the three fingers at the very
place where the child had been injured.
Her fingers swelled, an effusion of blood
took place, and liberation followed, and
she was long time in being cured. If,
in the case of this mother, the imagina-
ton could produce such result, you will
see in the case of the stigmata the imag
ination may have been equally powerful.

From Our Dumb Animals.l
A Just Retribution.

John Mark was the most unmerciful
man to his horses in all our village. He
was too poor to own good ones, but the
instant he took his seat in his carriage
his poor horses would start almost on
rum Experience had taught them that
anything else would bring down tortures
beyond endurance. He was malicious,
too, and would tease a horse, when stand
ing in the stable, until it was melted to
kick, and then would violently punish it,
He was angry at his horse one day for
kicking and fastened the carriage to its
tail, and compelled it to travel in that
way for several miles In the afternoon
he compelled it to plow in the same
manner for half day.
The next morning was the Sabbath.
Mark was very punctual in his atten-
dance at-church, and made q great dis
play of religion in times of revival. At
ter hearty breakfast he went to harness
his horse. The poor tortured creature,
expecting a repetition of the treatment
of the day before, kicked his brutal mas
ter in the chest with all his force. He
staggered against the stable-wall, and
however strong the will might have been,
he had no power to inf1ict the punish
ment he wished. He was able to stagger
to the house, and lie down upon his bed,
but he never rose from it again. Gods
retributive justice had aimed the blow
and brought to close his career of cru
city, while he was yet in the meridian of
life. What an evil work he would have
wrought if he had been permitted to fill
up his three score years and ten 1t
seemed fitted that one who had made
such a business of cruelty to horses,
should come to his death by horse.

What Did Paul Say?

Many years ago there lived in Virginia
a Baptist preacher named B. Though
uneducated he was sound thinker and
eloquent speaker, and no minister had a
more devoted flock. 1t was the custom
during the inclement season, to hold
meetings at the residences of the mem
bers, and once or twice, during the win
ter, at the house of the preacher. For
years it was observed that B. neither
preached nor conducted the meeting g
when held at his house, but secured the
services of a neighboring minister. He
was often pressed for an explanation,
without success but finally, in response
to the opportunities of some of his flock
he gave the following:
when l was younger than l am now
in fact, not long after the commence
ment of my ministration-l held meet
ing at my own house. 1t being customa-
ry for many of the congregation to re-
main for dinner, Mrs B. sent our negro
boy Tim to our neighbor Paurs for but
ter. Tim returnt and located himself,
standing on one foot at a time, in the
outskirts of the congregation. Being
well warmed up in my sermon, thinkin g
neither of Tim nor his errand, but only
of the most successful mode of pressing
home my strongest arguments, l de-
manded with all the energy in my pow
er, "And what did Paul say?' Tim at
the top of his little squeaking voice, ex-
claimed, as Tim only could have done,
He said you couldn't get any more but
ter until you paid for what you got.
"This brought down the house and cut
short one of the finest efforts of my early
ministry Since then l have kept my
preaching disconnected from my domes-
tic affairs

their guilt is very great, and they surely
will be brought to judgment. Again We
say that this censure does not apply to
the sale of alcoholic liquors for legiti-
mate and useful purposes, but to their
sale as a drink to persons in health, who
are better without them and may be
ruined by their use.
This temperance revival has opened
the ewes of thousands hitherto blind to
the enormous evil of this traffic. The
business itself is beginning TO be looked
upon in new light, or rather shade.
Hundreds have abandoned what was re-
garded as respectable two months ago.
The vice of intemperance has suddenly
confronted the public with its amazing
proportions The voice of God is heard
over the land. And in this hour of at
tention, it is wise and well to speak these
words of entreaty and warning to men
who have hitherto been regarded as seek
lag only to promote the health of their
customers, and who are charged with
completely in the promotion of the great
prolific cause of disease.
Right we'll do we know that there are
thousands of druggists to whom these
remarks do not apply; men who would
scorn to be engaged in illicit commerce
with these ruinous liquors They will
unite with US in this appeal and remon-
STRANGE. And may we not indulge the
hope that the time is at hand when it
shall no longer be regarded as respecta-
BILE for druggist or hotel keeper, or
grocer, or any other man, to afford to the
public inducements and temptations to
become moderate drinkers or drunkards.
