A Southern History Of the United
81 ~ sta '3r "a

The Bangor Wing is in possession Of i
little curiosity-""The new School His
tory of the United States" It is text
book in the public schools of Virginia and
in other parts of the south, p, epared from
the rebel standpoint, and perverting the
facts of recent history with almost anus
ing shamelessness. The war for the
union is termed "The Sectional war"
and Mr. Lincoln tsThe Sectional Presi-
dent.' The right of secession is defined
as necessary part Of state sovereignty,
which had never been for moment sur
rendered to the federal government. OF
Butler it is said that che received the
name of Beast and by the common
consent of Europe ond America that name
has become historical" Robert E. Lee,
on the other hand, is depicted as hero,
whose 'sgreat deeds won for him world
wide fame, and enthroned him in the
hearts of the southern people"
The assassination of Lincoln is CLOSED
over with the remark that "Booth COM
mitted the act under the fanatical idea
that the war would terminate, and the
south gain her freedom, if Lincoln was
killed." The pirate Semmes is praised
as distinguished naval commander; and
the murderer Jackson as "a patriotic mar
tyr" 'famous rough" Such is history,
as written for the southern youth!

Living within his Salary.

A conductor on an eastern road, says
the Omaha Bee, was approached by a
seedy looking individual, who wanted
to get free ride as he didn't have any
money. "Au right" said the conduc
tor, ''go forward into the smoking car
and Pll fix you all right" Soon after
the conductor appeared in the smoking
car to collect fare from the passengers
He took fare from everyone except the
dead beat and another man, who hap
pened to be the superintendent of the
road. The superintendent noticed that
he had overlooked this man, and asked
him why he had done it. "Wby, that's
CONDUCTOR" was the reply. "His ap-
pearance does not indicate 1t. Look at
his Clothes" said the superintendent.
SWELL" said the conductor, "he can't
help that. He's conductor on . west
ern road, and he is one of those fellows
who are trying to live within their SAL

do not fall short single penny; for if
you do, the government will be afraid
to risk collecting penny at the other
end, but will rush your letter to the
Dead Letter Office Cat an expense Of
about two cents,) and then write you
Cat an expense Of three cents) that you
can have it by writing for it (prepay.
ment three cents) and enclosing three
cents for it's transmission. To illus.
trate our system: A fortnight ago q
citizen Of Hartford mailed a letter di-
rected to me at this place, where l am
summering, and inadvertantly fell one
cent short of full prepayment. The
post Office authorities held council of
war over it and then sent it to Wash
ington in charge of an artillery regi.
ment, at great cost to the nation. The
dead letter department. worried over, 1t
se:eral days and nights, and then wrote
me (at cost Of three, cents) that
could have my letter for three cent
stamp or it's equivalent in coin. /, like
an ass, sent forqit, thinking it might
contain a legacy, and yesterday i: ar.
rived in man.of-war, at vast expense
to the government, and was brought to
these premises by three companies Of
marines, and q q mortar battery, all Of
whom stayed to pper.-The letter had
nothing in it but Doctors bill. On
the same day received heavy letter
from England with one-penny stamp
on it and the words "Collect eighteen
pence" 1t had been forwarded from
Hartford without ever going to the
Dead Letter Office. The conundrum !
wish to ask is this: IF a letter be un.
der prepaid, would it not be we'll to do
it up in rag and send it along, taking
the risk of collecting the deficit at the
other end as used to be the custom be-
fore we learned so much? @'F.5E 9@-'
: However, the expense, which and
the government) incurred in the trans
mission of doctors bill, which | did
not want, and do not value now that 1
have got it, was not the gravest feature
of this unfortunate episode. The post
master general was removed tr'm the
cabinet for not collecting storage for
the six days that my letter remained
in the dead letter office. It seems to-
me that this punishment was conspic-
uously disproportioned to the offence

A Dog that Had Never Seen n WO
man.

A half-mile farther on we came upon
the camp of the men who were building
the road Scamp is an elastic word.
In this case it meant merely small pine
grove, two big fires, and some piles OF
blankets. Here the road ceased. AS we
halted three dogs came bounding toward
US, barking most furiously. One Of them
stopped suddenly, gave one searching
look at me, put her tail between her legs,
and with pititul yeip of terror turned
and fled. I walked slowl Y after her; she
would look back over her shoulder, turn,
make one or two lunges at me, barking
shrilly, then with the same yelp Of terror
run swiftly away; at last she grew brave
enough to keep her face toward me, but
continually backed away, alternating her
bark of defiance with her yelp of terror
in way which was lrresistably ludicrous.
We were utterly perplexed by her
behavior until her master, as soon as he
could speak for laughing, explained it.
Eyer see, that ere dogs never seen a
! woman afore! She was reared in the
woods, an hain't never took her no.
where's, an that's jest the fact ont; she
dunno what to make of woman"
It grew droller and droller. The 9TH
er dogs were our good friends at once,
ieaped about us, snuffed us, and licked
our hands as we spoke to them. Poor
Bowser hung back and barked furiously
with warning and menace whenever
patted one Of the other dogs, but if took
4 step nearer her she howled and fed in
he most ahject way.-F1om the Dec<rp-

In recent dispatch l informed

companies of the Seventh Cavalry,

Horn, q branch of the Big Horn.
On the evening of the oath scouts
discovered fresh trail, and on the
morning of the 18th discovered an
Indian village, twenty miles above
the mouth of the Little Horn, about
three mileslong and half a mile wide,
some fifteen miles away. Custer
pushed his scommand rapidly, though
they had made a long march of 7s
miles in the twenty four hours pre-
ceding the battle, and when near the
village struck an abandoned tepee,
while the Indians were moving in
hot haste, as if in retreat. Reno,
with seven companies of the Sew
enth Cavalry, was ordered to the left
to attack the village at its head,
while Custer, with five companies,
went to the right and commenced a
vigorous attack. Reno felt of them

he entrenched, and was soon Joined

In the meantime the Indians re.

deep cut. the engineer saw a signal
light to stop. Thinking there was
some obstruction, be applied the brakes
aad discovered piles of ties and lumber
on the track. but could not stop the
train until the locomotive had climbed
partly upon the pile, when the train
came to stand still. At the same
instant II or 10 men appeared, and with
loud yells and discharging pistols.
dashed at the train and proclaimed
their intention. Two jumped on the
engine. and with navy revolvers covered
the engineer and fireman and threat
ened to kill them if they offered any
resistance. Bushnell, the messenger.
was forced to give mp the keys to the
safe. and The robbers opened Adams
safe and rut the entire contents into a
sack they had brought for that purpose.
Not being able to open the other safe
with the keys they got from Bushnell.
one man went to the engine and got a
pick. and with this broke it opel and
its contents were elso put in sack.
The robbers also went 10 Adams Ex>
press freight car, but found nothing
that seemed to be worth their notice.
While these acts were being performed,
the remainder of the robbers were maxi
ing night hiieous by marching up and
down the train, yelling like devils and
firing off pistols. In this way the pas
sengers were completely terrified, and
not the least show of resistance was
made by them. When their work was
done. the robbers left the scene of their
daring exploit and departed in south
erly direction. II is understood that a
party is in pursuit. and at last accounts
they were only ten miles behind. So
far as can be learned, Adams Express
lost some 81, 900, and the United States
Express Company about $4,000; but
these amounts may prove too small:
