THE New York World says: "A gal
liant deed has just been fitly honored by
the War Department, which has present
ed medals to Sergt. Woodruff, Privates
Harrington and Roth, and Scouts Chap
man and Dixon, of Gen. Miles command
The six men were surprised by 120
Indians, who poured volley upon them,
stampeding their horses and wounding
every one of their number, one fatally.
Digging shallow trench with their
knives in the sandy soil they held their
savage assailants at bay till nighttime,
when the latter withdrew, carrying off
some fifteen of their number killed. Sew
eral times the soldiers had to use their
revolvers to repel the charges of their
foes, always reserving one cartridge for
the purpose of suicide should they be
overpowered. The dying man, though
unable to handle arifle, propped himself
upright in the trench lest the knowledge
of his being disabled should encourage
the Indians. The long fight, too, was
made under chilling rain; that, how
ever, furnished them with water, though
they drank mingled with it their own
blood. Food they had none. So gal
liant and chivalrous resistance merited
nothing less than the high praise Of Gen.
Miles in his dispatches and the recog-
milton of the War Department just
chrOnicled."

BABY.

THERE'S not blossom Of beautiful May,
Silver of daisy or dafFodil gay,
Nor the rosy bloom Of apple-tree flowers,
Fair o. the face of this baby of ours.
You could never find on bright June day
A bit Of far sky SO chcery and gay,
Nor the haze on the hills, in MONDAY hours,
Blue as the eyes Of this baby Of ours.
There's not . murmur of wakcning bird,
The clearest, sweetest that ever was heard
In the tender hush of the dawn's still hours,
Soft as the laugh Of this baby Of ours.
There's no gossamer silk Of tasseled corn,
No hlmiest thread of the shy wood-fern,
Not even the cobwcb spread DER the flowers,
Fine as the hair Of this baby of ours.
There's no fairy shell by the sounding sea,
No wild rose that mods on the windy lea,
No blush Of the sun through Apri's soft showers
Pink as the-palms Of this baby Of ours.
Nay the dear Lord spare her to us, we pray,
For many . long and sunshiny day,
Ere He takes to bloom in Paradise bowers,
This wee bit darling-this baby Of ours.

Gen. Sheridan has made his official re.
port on the troubles at New Orleans, in
which he insists that the course taken by
the military authorities was justifiable
and necessary to prevent violence and
bloodshed, and that the Conservatives
| first called on Gen. de Trobriand for his
interference. L. A. Wiltz, the Con.
servative Speaker, has also made q
statement, in which he says he
did not call on the General for
his interference further than to request
him to address few words to parties
seeking to create disturbance at the
time of his attempting to perfect an or
ganization.
The City Council of New Orleans on
the 9th, at the suggestion Of the Mayor,
adopted resolution to the effect that the
statements of Gen. Sheridan IN regard to
the condition Of society in that city and
State, and the insecurity of life and
property, were unfounded in fact and an
unjustifiable libel.
Don Carlos has issued proclamation
declaring that he shall prosecute the war
for the recovery of his rights with re-
newed vigor. His forces sustained de-
feat in Valencia on the 10th.
The Democrats of New. York city held
largely ATTENDED indignation meeting
in Cooper Institute on the evening of the
11th, over which Mayor Wickham pre-
sided. Resolutions denouncing military
interference In State affairs and con-
demning Gen. Sheridan's dispatches were
unanimously adopted.
The suit Of Tilton %. Beecher was
fairly begun on the 11th, Mr.. Morris
counsel for the prosecution, making the
opening address to the jury.
Dispatches from New Orleans of the
11th say the Republican members of the
Louisiana Legislature had made report
concerning the proceedings in that body
on the 4th, which comedies with the Of
fetal statement made by Gen. Sheridan.
The public schools in New Orleans re-
opened on the 18th with large attend
ance. A Republican meeting was held
on the evening of the 18th and was
largely attended. Resolutions were
adopted indorsing the kilograms of Gen.
Sheridan, and stating that his represen-
tations were only defective in that they
lid not tell half the story of outrages to
which Republicans in Louisiana had been
subjected in years past
