Expeditions Fitting Out to Meet the
Hostile savages-The Sioux Reported I'm
La ge Force Near the Platte River.

Expeditions Fitting Out to Meet the
Hostile savages-The Sioux Reported Ina
La &c Force Near the Platte River.
The news from the plains seems to indicate
that war between the whites and Indians is in
evitable, and the busy note of preparation is
heard all along the frontier line. The savages
are represented by dispatch from Cheyenne
" as red-hot-worse than in 1865" Gov. Fur
mas, of Nebraska, is very much alarmed, and
went to Washington last week to procure
arms for the citizens Of the State.
He states that some $4,000 or ii, ZOO Sioux
are moving in southeasterly direction from
the Big Horn Mountain and Powder River
country, threatening the settlements on the
Platte. He is evidently seriously impressed
with the danger that menaces the people Of
his State. The laws prohibiting such action
as he desires, Secretary Belknap was compel
led TO deny his request, although he did go
very unwillingly.
An Omaha dispatch says: Arrangements
are in progress at the Department headquar-
ters for fitting out expeditions to the White
Stone and Red Cloud Agencies. 1t is believed
by well-informed officials that, if the soldiers
cross the Platte, as they must necessarily do
to reach the exposed agencies, there will be a
fight. In that country there are 60, 600 In
dams and about $4,000 Sioux, one in five Of
whom is fighting man. Wel-informed Of
ficials are of opinion that these Indians can
muster from 10000 to $4,000 men. Large
amounts of ammunition are being shipped
from Fort Leavenworth and Rock Island Ar
senals to the various ports in this Depart
ment All post commanders have been or
dered to keep their commands in readiness to
take the field against the Indians on a mo-
ments notice.
Cheyenne telegram says: "a war is in
evitable between here and the Sioux Indian
reservation. The country is rolling and fine
grazing, and there are not less than $4,000
head of cattle there, but We would rather have
war than peace when we are robbed and muir
dered with impunity."
Later advices from the frontier indicate that
hostilities in the vicinity of the Indian agen-
cies are not so imminent as at first supposed.
1t is now believed that the hostile savages
have gone to the Big Horn country, to gain
time for laying their plans for the coming
campaign, and to summon the northern ma
tons to their assistance. The military expe-
dition now fitting out at Cheyenne will march
to the agencies, but it is not believed they
will encounter any opposition. 1t is the
opinion of many that the reports of depreda-
tons from the frontier have been grossly ex-
aggerated, that there will be no Indian war,
but that the Commissioners will settle the
matter by another treaty.

She couldn't see it in that light. She
didn't want to marry him, but he was
hound she should. They both lived a
couple of miles from the city and near
neighbors. She refused to listen to his
counting, and he grew desperate. So
he went off TO the West, and while out
there persuaded friend to write let
ter, saying that he was dead, and asking,
as his dying request, that she might, II
she ever went out that way, TO stop for a
moment and toss weed or perhaps a
flower on his lonely grave. This was
tender. but it didn't take worth cent,
and she wrote back letter to the friend
saving that if he had any consideration
for her feelings at all to send her the
dead lovers watch and chain, his money
and all his yaluables. To carry out his
plans the dead man sent home his brass
iewelry and other effects, and she imme-
diately proceeded to don the trinkets
and start to singing school with the
chosen "feller" of her heart. On their
way back home the pair were startled by
the apparition of the lost lover, clad IN
ghostly white but with the old Inca
ments intact. The young man fled, but
the girl stood still, and, putting up a
paw which resembled an elephants foot,
naively inquired if the ghost wanted to
be kicked to death by mule. To which
his ghostship replied thus :" Lord J
Lord Jerusha, hev l come all the way
home to find you false ?" you bet,
replied the fair one, laughing heartily,
for she had discovered that it was really
the person of her dead lover. The
fellow had played nice game, and had
followed his goods and chattels back to
the land of his nativity very quickly.
The damsel was SO Disguised with the
other fellow for running at sight of the
ghost that she Immediately began prep

The Difficulties of Prospective Matri-
mOny.

It is said that Sir Walter Campbell,
who was lately in mercantile firm in
New York, wished to marry an Ameri-
can young lady, of good position, in a
mercantile firm in New York, wished to
marry an American young lady, of good
position, in the Empire State. Upon
his applying to the young lady's father,
the parent stated that he always re-
ferred all those questions to his wife.
The mother, in her turn, stated that
she must refer it to the Duke of Argyll.
The Duke pleaded that, considering his
connection with royalty, he must consult
his eldest son. The Marquis could do
nothing without the Queens consent.
Her Majesty felt that the issue must be
referred to the Duke of Saxe-Cobourg-
Gotha, as head of the family. The
Duke rejoined that, since the recent
changes in Germany, he looked upon
the Emperor William as his sovereign,
and must bow to his advice. The EN-.
peror said he could do nothing without
Prince Bismarck's opinion; and Prince
Bismarck declared he had no opinion at
all, one way or the other; and so the
question-to marry or not to marry
was brought to dead lock,
