A Narrow Escape.

MIR. III. TAYLOR, who brought the
news of Clusters defeat to Fort Ellis,
travelled the most direct route. On
Big Horn he discovered forty Sioux
driving herd of about 100 buffalo up
the valley, and not wishing to have
trouble with them, made a detour for
high bluff, and the first thing he
knew, 1Chiz went an arrow near his
person, when looking in an opposite
direction from the Indians with the
buffalo, he saw an Indian about sixty
yards from him, deliberately drawing
on him for shot, and still beyond,
several other Indians. He then made
dash for the river, plunged into it,
swan it twice on horseback, the In
dams in hot pursuit and shooting,
when he discovered a high rock, per-
pendicular on all sides and inaccessible
except at one place, which man well
armed like he was could defend against
a good many Indians. Abandoning
his horse, he Immediately assembled
and took possession Of the rock, which
afforded him protection against the In
dians, who spent the rest of the day in
shooting at him and trying to catch
his horse, but failed. At sunset they
left, when he came down from his COW
ert on the rock, easily caught his
horse (Which is good one), mounted
him, and continued his journey night
and day, arriving at Fort Ellis on the
third day from starting. He will re-
main here till dispatches from Wash
ington arrive for Gibbon, and carry
them to headquarters. - Bozeno11

WE walk alone through all lifes various ways,
Through light and darkness sorrow, JOY am

And greeting each to each, through passing days,
Still we are strange.
We hold our dear ones with firm strong grasp;
We hear their voices, look into their eyes;
And yet, betwixt us in that clinging clasp
distance lies.
We cannot EnOa0 their hearts, howe'er; we may
Mingle thought, aspiration, hope and prayer;
We cannot reach them and in vain essay
To enter there.
Still. in each heart Of hearts a hidden deep
Lies never fathomed by its dearest best:
With closest care our purest thoughts we keep
And tenderest
But, blessed thought! we shall not always so
In darkness and in sadness walk alone;
There comes glorious day when we shall know
As we are known.

Something Novel in POmO1Ogy.

a FEW years ago gentleman living
in the suburbs of New York, anxious
to have large pear trees that would
bear fruit soon, contracted with q tree
agent for some Bartletts, the price of
which was fixed at ten dollars apiece.
The trees came in due time and were
set out. In two years from the time
OF planting they bore a small, round
russell pear, that hung on the trees I'M
til late in October. About this time
the very same agent made his appear
ance, and, being reminded Of the con-
tract to furnish Bartletts, he asked to
be allowed to examine the trees and
fruit, the latter still hanging on the
trees. He examined both carefully.
and suddenly turning toward his vic
tim, said with a stern expression
" Well, sir, when | sold you those
trees | supposed you were a Well-read,
intelligent man; but now [ am Of a
different opinion" This very singular
1tI1dih drought 1OIIn tn6 query,
"Why?' from the owner. "WhyW
was the response from the agent, :" to
think of a man of culture at this day
and age who does not know the fact
that a Bartlett tree never bears Bart
lett pears the first year" The gentle
man admitted his ignorance, and the
peddler left master of the situation.
Some weeks after the victim made in
quiry Of neighbor to know if he was
aware of this strange phenomenon in
horticulture. Since then this tree
agent has not made his appearance in
this section of the country.-P. T.

A Dreamer's Experience.

How swiftly, with what lightning
like action the soul passes through ex-
periences in dreams, and how instan-
taneOusly we pass through seemingly
long dreams, is thus illustrated by an
other fact in the experience of the
writer:
It was in the days of the camphene
and burning-fuid era, you remember,
that the Wicks passed through long
tubes that We're about two inches above
the lamp. Attached by chain to each
lamp were two metal eXtingUishers.
At that time [ was employed in a bust
ness that occupied the latter part of
the night, sleeping the first half. On
the night in question my wife had
failed to awaken me by calling; so,
taking the lamp in her hand, she came
to the bedside to arouse me. From the
time that the light of the lamp shOne
in my face until | was awake, | lad
gone to the engine-hOuse, helped to get
out the machine, ran about three miles,
and helped to put out the biggest kind
of a fire, and awoke tired and sore,
and fully impressed with the idea that
I had labored at least three hours on
the brakes, beside doing other fre-lad
die duty. And yet the fire was only
the reflection of the lamp in my face,
and the horrid clatter of the 6re-bells
was only the jingle of the extinguish
ers against the lamp. Ny all night
work, that made my arm and back ache
so, in reality occupied not more than a
few seconds; and thus the majority of
dreams are made.-H. McKa3, IN Hart
ford Comm Times.

Sitting Bulls Biography-What
the Sioux Expect.

SITTING BULL is a TetOn-SiOux and
only thirty-fve years of age. Capt.
McGarry, of the steamer Benton. tells
me that he has known Sitting Bull
about the Upper Missouri trading-posts
for many years. His principal barter
ing place was at Fort Peck, though of
late years he and his band have follow
ed the buffalo north on the Souris and
Pembina rivers, and have bartered
their robes and tongues for guns and
ammunition with the French half
breeds of Manitoba. Sitting Bull was
a convert and friend of Father De
Smet, who taught him to read and
write French. He has always scorned
to learn English, but is fair French
scholar. In the Dakota language he is
also versed, and declared to be a
greater orator than Little Pheasant,
chief of the Yanktonnais Capt. Nc
| Garry says he knows that Sitting Bull
has read the French history of Napo-
| Icons wars, and believes that he has
modelled his generalship after the little
COrsican Corporal. Sitting Bull has
| never accepted an overture of peace,
the report that he gave in his adhesion
to Sully to the contrary notwithstand-
ing. He has always been an unrelent-
| ing and vindictive savage-to the
Americans what Schamyl was to the
Russians. Father De Smet kept the
TetOn-SiOuX from the War-path until
1868. He then left the Upper Mis-
souri,, and Sitting Bull became a chief.
No organized effort was made to array
until after the Minnesota massacres of
1868, when the Sioux were driven
west of the Missouri into the bad lands
and mountains of Dakota. Sitting
| Bull aspired to the leadership, but
Red Cloud, Spotted Tail, Little Pleas
ant, and the Ogalalla Sitting Bull
Chiefs repudiated him. From that
time he has been a malcOntent, and at
war with the chiefs of the Sioux ma
ton, though he has by his persuasive
arts of OratOry seduced many hun
dreds of their young braves into his
ranks. He is also largely reinforced
by young braves from the CreeS and
Assiniboins of Manitoba. Every
summer for five years he has been up
north among these tribes, and now
they are iOcking to his standard. If
these reports are to be believed, and /
have no reason to question them, when
he next makes a stand against the
Federal troops he will have in the
neighbOrhOOd of 5000 warriors, every
one armed with repeating rifles. A
great deal is expected from Sitting
Bulls inability to take care of the
wounded already on his hands, and
which is sacred duty among the In
dianS. If he has not sent his wounded
north among his Manitoba friends he
will do so before he hazards another
fight. The Geographic report of Capt.
Smith, who brought Reno's wounded
down, that Terry had found the biers
of nine chiefs killed in the engagement
with Custer is a mistake. They were
the remains of sub-chiefS and braves
killed by Custer when he was with
Stanley in 1871. The Sioux custom is
to carry off their dead braves to a Sc
Guided valley, and, after the custom
airy mourning period has expired, to
lay out the dead braves on a platform
high enough to be beyond the reach of
wolves or cOyotes.-Cor. Chicago Tri-
bat11e.

Wake upl wake up!' it seemed to say;
Wake upi wake upl there's a wedding to-dayl''
And this was the cock that crowed in the morn,
That walked the priest all shaven and shorn,
That married the man all tattered and torn
That kissed the maiden all forlorn,
That MIXED the cow with the crumpled horn.
That tossed the dog, that worried the cat, that
caught the rat, that ate the corn that lay in
the house that Jack built.
