strange Indian tribe further west.
Gruard never undeceived the fierce
Indian chieftain. He soon made
his way to the confidence and affec-
tioa, of his new friends, and in due
time was permitted to roam at will
with the boys in charge of the pony
herds. He accompanied Sitting
Bull in many Of his raids on the
posts of the upper Missouri, and
became an expert in riding, shoot
ing and other accomplishments
which go to make up an Indian.
In the siege of Fort Pease, about
a year ago, he succeeded in making
his escape, but was recaptured and
his life saved through the interfer-
ence of Sitting Bull himself. 1t
was not until the great council,
held at Red Cloud last September,
that Gruard succeeded in making
a final and successful escape. He
made his way to Fort Laramie,
where he has been employed ever
since by the government in the ca
pacity of scout and interpreter.
Frank Gruard, unlike most of the
frontier scouts and Indian inter
prefers, is quite talkative, and loves
to speak of his old friends Of the
Yellowstone country. He spent
nine years with the Sioux of the
North, and entirely won their con-
fidence. He is at present twenty
four years Of age, dressed in civil
lied costume, wears none of the
tawdry tinsel decorations generally
worn by the Indians, and makes nc
outward display whatever. II
speaking of Sitting Bull and the
expected campaign, Gruard said hC
expected along, bitter and stubborn
war before his adopted father woulC
give way, and then, if whipped, the
Sioux would JOIN their brethren II
the British possessions. Like al
other frontiersmen, Gruard has
supreme contempt for the peac
policy of the government, and salt
that the Indians laugh at the ide
Of treaty-making.
Since the interview Frank Cru
ard has become quite noted and i
the central figure in Crooks cam
paign. 1t was his advice whic
saved Crooks shattered and Grip
pied expedition from annihilatio
after the battle ON the Rosebud
. When Crook ordered pursuit int
the Rosebud mountains Gruard di'
covered and showed the country fu
: of ambuscades and overpowerin
t hordes of Sioux, and by his adviC
0 Crook withdrew to his supply cam
S on Goose creek. AS Gruard wi
t figure quite prominently in Il
+ forthcoming Indian war, this bri
= sketch of his life will prove qui
n interesting.

90 about in the day time, and al
though marked men, they are
trusted to 90 even as far as Oattaro.
They have to pay so much a day
for their keep, and are sometimes
employed on public works; the
women receive no education, but |
are nevertheless subject to the same
penalty and incarceration as men.
Their ideas of morality are extre-
mely strict, and any breach of
decorum is visited with the greatest
severity. Next morning we were
awakened betimes by violent storms
of rain and wind, for a sou'wester
had set in, bringing with it a thaw.
Nothing more dreary could be i'm
agined than the view that greeted
us from our bedroom window. A
thick mist hung over everything,
only allowing glimpses now and
then of the wild-looking hills that
surround the plain. To the left
lay the new palace, the residence
Of the Prince, with its small piece
of garden reclaimed from the
surrounding waste, but present
ing at that moment only the as
pect of mud. Just imagine what
were our feelings when, under
such circumstances, we received
an invitation, which was equivalent
to a command, to dine with the
Prince that evening! How were we
possibly to get across the flooded
streets en- grand tenue? For such
a thing as a carriage has never been
seen in Cettinje. AS we were in
Montenegro, however, we felt we
must do as the Montenegrins do,
So, Drawing the elements, we
mounted the little horses that had
taken us up the Scala, and trotted
across to our destination in time for
our 7 o'clock dinner. We were
soon in the well-lighted, comforta-
BILE hall of the palace, where with
great difficulty we disengaged our
selves of waterproofs and ulsters

A Lady's Description of the Prince
of Montenegro.
Cornhill Magazine.I

COrnhlll Magazlne.l
Presently an individual, evident
ly high in Office, introduced himself
as Aid-de-camp of the Prince. He
told us that apartments had been
prepared for us in the old palace,
where we were to be the guests of
royalty. "If you wait a moment
here" he added, "you will see his
Highness pass" We did so, and
we're rewarded by as romantic a
sight as this prosy nineteenth cen
tury has to show. 1t was like a
scene out of q medieval romance.
The Prince and all his "Perian-
ikes," OF bodyguard, were in their
beautiful National dress; the Prince
being distinguished from his re-
tainers by light-blue mantle
thrown over his shoulders. All of
them-and they numbered hun
dred-were splendid looking fell
lows, but none of them surpassed
the chief. He was a man of about
thirty-fve, six feet four in height,
and acknowledged as the strongest
and most muscular person in his
dominions, which is saying a great
deal. His face was open and frank,
and usually wore a very sweet smile,
which conferred on it a look of
singular gentleness. "E bello, il
nostro principe?-eh?" said our
guide in broken italian, and we
certainly agreed with him. AS we
passed the Prince and his bodyguard
they salpted us with distinguished
courtesy, and we continued our
route to the hospitable quarters
prepared for us, right glad to sit
down by a warm fire and forget the
deap snow aud bitter cold outside,
After an hour Of this luxury, how
ever, we summoned up our courage
and determined to sally out and see
some of the sights Of the place.
Close to our quarters, and over
shadowing the public foun-
tain, stands the HTree of JUS

ther Parliament nor law court

The SON OF David.

Joseph was a son of David,
plainly so declared by two genoa
logical tables, and by several ex-
press assertions of the Evangelists.
A son of Joseph, therefore, would
of course possess this first of the
qualifications for Messiahship. But
the very people who are now SO
strenuous to have Jesus called
"Christ" Tor the Lords Annointed)
are eqaally strenuous in denying
that Joseph was his father. They
quote Scripture in evidence of a
different paternity; but Scripture
here, as in many other cases, is
divided against itself.
Luke says (ii., ~, after speaking
Of the growth and promise Of the
child Jesus, "his parents went to
Jerusalem every year at the feast Of
the Passover"
Luke further tells us (ii., 4S),
when after vainly searching else
where, they returned to Jerusalem
and found Jesus in the temple, that
Mary said to him in the presence
of Joseph, l." Son, why hast thou
thus dealt with us? Behold, thy
father and have sought thee sor.
rowing"
Mary certainly knew who the
father of Jesus was; and she here
tells us that it was Joseph.
Note also the following piece of
highly significant negative evil
dence: When to the question and
reproof Of his mother above men,
toned, Jesus answered, Elbow is it
that ye sought me? Wist ye not
that | must be about my fathers
business?" Luke tells us, 'eThey
understood not the saying which
he spake unto Them" This saying
would necessarily have been per-
feotly clear to both Mary and Jo-
seph had they known that this
precocious child was begotten with
out a human father. It could be
obscure on the supposition Ono
doubt the correct supposition) that
Joseph was the father of Jesus.
