Y A special from Fort Fetterman states
that on the 9Th instant a haying party
Of twelve men and seven OK teams were
attacked by a band Of twenty or thirty
Indians, 25 miles from the above post.
John Ottens, wagon master, was badly
wounded and one horse was killed.
Two Of the party were out hunting,
and about 8 o'clock heard the war song
and FASTENED to the train, which was
Immediately prepared for defense. Four
of the men started to find the Indians,
which they did, and made 4 lively re-
treat, holly pursued by the Indians to
within fifty yards of the train, when
eight men sent a volley into the reds,
who retreated to the shelter of some
bluffs and commenced firing upon the
train, which was at u disadvantage.
The men were compelled to move about
go yards, when the fight was con-
tinued nearly four hours. The num-
Der Of reds killed is unknown, but two
were seen to drop.
Mr.. Powell, contractor, states that
the Indians showed great courage and
were strongly armed with Winchester
and armyrifies- The telegraph line be,
tween Fetterman and Cheyenne being
cut about that time. it Is thought it was
cut BY the same band. Ottens is doing
nicely, but win undoubtedly lose his
right arm.

tion in the gardens stripped of its leaves.

A Useless Baby.
AustinI lNcyadnJ Hcycille.

A couple of days ago n squaw died out
at Yankee Blade, and the Indians buried
her and her infant together, without
taking any trouble of making a corpse Of
the latter. II is n custom Of the Piutes
and Shoshones to bury the dead mother
and living child together when the latter
is too young to help itself In this in
stance they dug hole, threw tho woman
into it, and laid the infant on her breast,
covering them over with brush. In ex-
planation of their conduct one of them
said: "Baby no good; no got milk;
bimeby heap cry; die pooty soon any
how" 1t would be an impossibility to
convince an Indian that he is doing
wrong by thus abandoning helpless
infant as a prey 10 the coyotes and car
rion birds it was the custom OF his
fathers, and he can see no wrong in IT.
A white man does not like TO interfere
in such a case, for to try and rear the
child would be hopeless task, and no
white man would feel justified in dash
ing its brains out with a stone. Besides,
the Indians would feel greatly aggrieyed
at any interference with this pleasant
usage Of theirs.

THE AUNT's REMEDY.-The Dubuque
Herald says of resident of that CITY ::
" He and his new wife visited his good
old aunt, and she asked hundred ques-
ticns on the all-important subject to her.
He was prefuse in his answers, being
only too happy to extol the good qualities
of his young wife. He concluded the
eulogy by telling the old lady that his
wife had a wonderful sweet voice, and a
'mezzo soprano of extraordinary COM
pass The good aunt looked over her
spectacles with concern in her eyes and
said: Hez she? Well, now, yer aunt
Lucy used to be troubled with that a long
while ago, and she used to put a mustard
plaster to the sOles of her feet and take
catnip tea and it give her sight of
easiness. Just have your wife try that
and I'm sure she will git better"

The Murder of the ConsuIs at SaIonica.

| The Turkish city of Salonica, which
lies at the head of the gulf of that name,
! in old Macedonia, some three hundred
miles west of Constantinople, was the
scene of a terrible riot last Saturday, in
which the French and German consuls
were murdered. 1t would appear that
the cries of Greek girl, who had just
arrived at the railway station, and was
about to be forced to become a convert
to Mohammedanism were heard by the
American consul, who CHANGED to be
there. He at once interfered, and taking
the girl under his protection, either sent
her to the German consulate, or escorted
her in a carriage to his own.
The French and German consuls,
meantime, having learned of the occur
renee, and being informed that the Amer
ican, who is connected with them by mar
riage, was in danger, fastened to the
mosque. There they were assailed by a
furious mob of Turks, and killed, ac-
cording TO one account, with iron bars
wrenched from the grating, and IN the
very presence of the governor OF the
city, who, it is asserted by the Ottoman
government, made every effort to save
their lives. The version of the Porte,
moreover, is that the whole disturbance
was caused by the United States con-
suPs taking the wOuld-be convert by
force from her Mohammedan friends, for
which purpose he had organized band
of one hundred and fifty Greeks. The
girl, they maintain, did not cry out, nor
object to the ceremony of conversion.
At this stage it is impossible to deter
mine which version is the true one, but
is not improbable that our consul has
been somewhat to blame, as he is a
Greek, and of the seventy thousand in
habitants of SaIOnica twenty thousand
are Greeks. With so strong minority
to back him he may have thought him
self justified in resisting any attempt of
the Turks to convert Christian to their
religion.
On the day following the riot, Echerif
Pasha, the new governor of Salonica,
sailed for that port from Constantinople
in a Turkish frigate, and by this time
the harbor of SaloniCa is well filled with
the war vessels of other nationalities.
British, Russian, Austrian and Italian
men-of-war. French irOnclads, and a
German corvette have been ordered to
sail at Cnce for the disturbed city.
At the approaching conference of
prince Bismarck with the Austrian and
Russian preniers this outbreak will be
discussed, and some scheme for united
action will probably be adopted. This,
however, will not lead, necessarily, to
the destruction of tie Turkish power in
Europe, as the apologies and redress
offered for the fanaticism of its subjects
by the Ottoman government will be ac-
cepted; but it is certain that every such
event as this is most unfortunate for the
Porte, and only serves to hasten that
downfall which many believe to be inev-
itable.-NelO York Sur.

We wouId inoIIv ramark to on

We would finally remark to our read
ers that acreage reports from other
sources may, in all probability, show II
much larger increase in acreage than
ours, and to this we would say that those
reports of last year showed a deficiency
of two hundred thousand acres less than
actually planted, which may have occur
red from late planting not taken into
account, or process of estimating which
we look upon as anything bat sure
guide. There is but one road by which
to reach the proper and correct average
report, and this is to ascertain the actual
average of each county planted, which
plan we think we have endeavOred to
carry out. All now depends upon the
weather what sort of crop we may
market, and we shall for the future keep |
