Border Life, present and Past.

The terrible fate OF Custer and bis gal
liant three hundred adds another tragic
chapter to the. great hook Of Border
events. whose beginning dates from the
earliest settlement of our country, whose
end will be only when the Indians as .
race shall have become extinct
The horrors of the Modoc campaign
are yet fresh in our memories. The his
toric Lava Beds, Indian cunning haffl ng
the skill of our soldiery for 80 long o
time, savage maligni,y and treachery
eliminating in the death of the brave
Canby and others whose mission was
honorable treaty and peace-all these
are still remembered with shudder-
Their parallels in device and atrocity are
only found in the deeds that compose
the history of the Ozark and Bloody
Ground" Or among those which mark
the bloody tracks OF the treacherous
Mingoes, descending from their Great
Lake fastnesses upon the unsuspecting
tribes and settlements of the Susque-
hanna and Allegheny.
| So with this 'heart-rending story Of
Custer and his men, which has been
sprung upon the country so suddenly,
and which is being read amid tears Of
sorrow and calls for vengeance, from one
end Of the land to the other. Some may
find its parallel in the history Of Leoni
das and his three hundred; some may
seek for like sacrifices amid the annals
4 of the Scottish Chiefs or Polish Patriots.
/ But it is only when we turn to the thrill
Hing chapters of our Border history tina,
we read and re-read, in intensified form
the bloody story of Rose Bud and Big
I Horn Rivers. Custer and his three
hundred, ambushed by a willy foe and
melting away in death before odds rem
dered douhly and terribly formidable b!
| bewilderiEg shrieks and stealthy mode o
| fighting, recall with vivid effect the trag
edy of Braddock's Field, whose detail
are SO graphically and fully narrated il
that wonderful book, sour Western Bor
der One Hundred Years Ago" w
I Or If other parallels be sought, the.
abound in the same brilliant, stirring an;
faithful volume; for Custer and Bi!
Horn, Candy and the Lava Beds, Modo'
and Sioux, are but rcpetitions, now faint
er, now fercer, of Dalzell and Bloody
Run, Crawford and Battle Island, Har
mer and the Miami Towns
The new story, whether Of victory O
defeat, massacre or escape, cunning o.
adventure, trcacherv or dash hardship O
retreat, is but an epitome of the old, ,nllet
| with its quaint and primitive portrait
) ures, ,haloed about BY thrilling traditions
and sancti6ed to us by the facts that ou
fathers we're part Of i, and these ou
dwelling places we're scenes in the mids
OF it.

suddenly strikes off hot foot on patti

what the Locomotive Did.
From the San Francisco Bulletin

From the Dan francisco Oulletn
Peter Cooper not long ago related his
experience in the construction of To-
comotiye and running it at the rate of
six miles an hour on railway track in
the suburbs of Baltimore. The engine
was little more than "cook stove" on
wheels, The experiments were made
hardly fifty years ago, But in the Cen
tennial year q locomotive started from
Ogden and ran to San Francisco, q dis
tance of 883 miles, in the actual running
time of twenty-one hours and thirty
minutes. This statement is made ap-
parently on official authority in the Rail-
road Gazette:
"The train left Ogden at 900 A. NJ,
/ June 2, and arrived at San Francisco at
9 go A. NJ, on the second day, passing
over in its journey l,150 curves, whose
total curvature is in excess Of 125 COM
plete circles, IA, 800 feet ascending and
10000 feet descending grades Of from
sixteen to LIT feet to the mile, attaining
at Summit Station an altitude of 7,0l7
feet, from which point there is a contin-
ual descent in 1f4 miles of 8,977 feet,
thirty.five miles being in the snow sheds.
The engine was under the charge of aud
run by engineer Henry S Small of the
pay car engine, who, with but one short
rest for food, remained at the throttle
during the trip.
"Upon arrival of the train at Oakland
wharf, the engine showed no symptoms
of any unusual or severe strain, and was
returned at once to its duty without any
repairs or work being done to it." ,s
Many instances have been recorded
where locomotive has, ma lie mile q
minute, and even greater speed has
been attained for a single mile. But the
recent performance, considering the
grades anG the actual amount of work
performed, is without match in loco
motive engineering in the whole world.
The engine used, according to the au.
thority quoted, was built in Schenectady,
and had been in daily use on the road
for eighteen months previous to this
lightning performance.
The iron race horse, after scaling the
Sierra and descending to the sea with a
draft and speed never before attained,
was in perfect order for immediate use
and that was one Of the marvels Of the
performance. 1t illustrates the wonder
full progress of locomotive engineering
which has been made during. the last
few years. 1t is good record for the
Centennial year.
