of Captain Stones company of Cincin-
natians, en- route for Black Hills, about
fifty miles from Red Cloud agency. The
day was warm, and the loads nearly
impassable from the sand. The III en-
had deposited their coats and weapons
in the wagons, and were struggling
wssrily along, when the Indians rushed
down and cut them off from the train.
The massacre followed with but little
resistance, the Indians numbering sew
eral hundred. The lead 9Ts, Stone and
James Wood, were the first to fall. AS
far as can be ssceItained, the names Of
the killed are as follows: Stone, Arm
strong, Kelley. Huddltston, Walinsky,
West, Barr, Wunck, Lsboyteux, Bauer,
Oldwage, Shatteng, r. Latts, Krunck,
Mozeaute, Csddle, M'Kesg, Lancer, and
two drivers. TIE bearer Of the report
declares that not single one of the par
ty of forty-n nine escaped. Several Of the
bodies, scalped and mutilate6, were ia.
ken into North Lsup fort. II is stated
that nearly all the Indians have left the
agencies, and are on the war-path.
After a staSe-DriVer.
OMAHA, June 1.-The following dis
patch was received from Proprietor Sid
ney, Of the Black Hills stage line: "My
stage driver, from the agency TO Sidney,
came on foot to the Platte. He had one
horse killed under him. The Indians
got the mail aud ssddle.p This gives
evidence that the indians are operating
south of the agencies, but to what ex-
tent and in what numbers is unknown.

A Pull-Back Incident.

A subscriber in the country
sends 8 graphic account of a thrill.
ing but ludicrous incident that
happened in this tneighborhood
last week. A fashionable city
girl came out to visit his sisters.
She wore a jaunty hat, ancoquet-
tish spit of curl, and the pull
backedest sort of pull.backers. =
On Thursday his two sisters and
the city girl rneandered out the
shady lane to drink in the beau
ties of the scenery and talk about
the beaux. Presently a loud bel
lowing was heard, and mad bull
was seen paving the earth at the
other end of the lane and coming
toward the ladies. The country
girls admonished their friend to
"run quick, and went over a. four
rail fence, into an adjoining field
with the agility, if not the grace.
OF q circus actor. The city dam
sci attempted to ''run quick" but
it was a mournful failure. She
was only Eve yards from the
fence, but the longest sep she
could achieve was not over six
inches, and her frantic efforts to
escape the impending danger were
painful to witness. The tull was
coming nearer and nearer, with
mischief in his eyes and his tail
switching ominously. For min,
ute or two the situation was such
as would have filled the soul of a
newspaper reporter with joy. =
But the fashionable-dressed young
lady proved equal to the emer.
gency. She just laid down and
rolled to the fence and, by an
overwhelming effort, "busted" the
pin-back arrangement, and went
over the fence regardless of eti-
quette, or any thing else, and the
bull passed on with q sample of
her dress on her horns, muttering
all the v bile abou. the rainy spell,
or something that way. That
city girl says the next time she
visits the country she will wear
skirts expansive enough to permit
her to step over q hey wagon,
should necessity or a cross bun
require it. = Norristoion Pa)

Government. This is to be an
adjunct to "the bloody shirt"
which it seems is to be the ban
ner under which the radical CO.
horts, will march no matter who
may be their standard bearer
The action of the New York
convention in endorsing Conk-
ling is a serious blow to Blaine,
as Conkling hates Blame, and if
he cannot be nominated HIM
self will use the delegation
from his State to defeat Blaine.
Among Democratic candidates
for the St. Louis nomination,
the name Of Judge Thurman is
now very prominent, perhaps
more so than that of any one
else except Gov. Hendricks
Tildcn seems to have been
dropped, though when the Con-
vention meets he will be a most
formidable competitor, and Pen
dleton is out of politics now.
The news from abroad is of
no interest. Queen Victoria has
been given the title of En-
press of India, and Spain is en-
tirely at peace. The rebellion
in Turkey is still in progress.

On Being Requested for Some
''Stirring Verses"
pY JESSIE rERGusoN BRoWNE.

BY JESSIE FERGUSON BROWNE.
You ask soul-inspiring lay;
An, lovely cousin mine,
Of what to sing, or what to say
scarcely can divine.
With master-hand they swept the Tyre,
Th' immortal bards of old 4;
Touched by Isaiah's hallowed fire,
Their living numbers rolled.
And still they stand the test of time.
They mock the flight Of years;
Immortal. glorious and sublime
What inspiration theirs.
Not idly all should invoke,
Thine aid o, heavenly muse
Might only one such masters stroke,
My members but infuse.
Could ! but sing as once they sang,
The bards of other days;
What millions yet unborn should hang
Enraptured DER my lays.
Full safely might you ask OF me.
Some high, imposing strain;
Fair kinsman, would grant it then,
Nor count my efforts vain.
Now as it is, we'll make the best
OF that which has been given;

The Drummer" System.

How many Of our readers
have ever thought of the i'm
mense tax imposed upon them
by the presentmercantile "drum-
mer' system? We have talked
with several intelligent COM
mercial travellers recently, one
of whom especially gave some
very interesting figures. The
army Of drummers in Missouri,
upon an average, embraces in
its rank and file 10000 men,
The annual average salary and
expense Of each of them is a.
bout 1000. The aggregate
cost of this army is therefore
$4,000, 900. Who pays it?-
Certainly their employers are
responsible to these travellers,
but just as certainly they are
only agents to make the pay
ments. The people who use
their wares pay the bill in the
jenhanced prices for which they
must be sold to meet this enor-
nous expense of getting them
into the market. Is it wonder
ful that the farmer, the mechan-
ic, the laborer, the professional
man cry out hard times? All
of this vast army Of non-pro-
ducers, (who add nothing to
the general wealth. are fed and
clothed out Of the profits or per
cent. commission charged by
the merchant for his goods
This is a glaring outrage upon
the people of the country, the
alarming growth of which de-
mands a remedy. This i'm
mense tax should be taken off
the merchandise, which we buy.
Honest merchants as well as
other honest men, should frown
the custom: If our merchants
will not, by common consent, a.
bandon this drummer" prac-
tice, our Legislature at its next
session should take the matter
in hand and relieve the people
from such robbery. - Macon

close Of the first Century of A.
me7acGn Independence. By u
d. -McCo5e. Aa1thor of "A
Manual Of General History"

There has long been a great
and universally. felt want of g..
History of the United States suit
able for general use. This want
is DOW being supplied by the Me-
tional Publishing Co., of st. Lou
is, who have Issued a handsome
volume, styled "The Centennial
History of the United States" by
James D. McCabe, a well known
historical writer. This work will,
undoubtedly, take rank as the
Standard History of the United
States. 1t is no dry mass Of de-
tails - no bombastic effort to In
fame national pride, but it is a
clear, vivid and brilliant narrative
of the events of our history, from
the Discovery of America down
to the present time. 1t traces the
evidences of that mysterious race,
the occupants ot.our country, and
gives a most interesting account
of the Indians Of North America,
from the time Of the coming OF
tie white men. The voyages of
Columbus, the explorations Of the
different nations of Europe, and
the final occupation and conquest
of the land by England, are told.
with graphic power.
Every step Of our colonial his
tory is traced with patient fdeli-
ty, and the sources of those noble,
and we trust enduring institutions
which have made our country free
and great, are shown with remark
able clearness. The causes Of our
great struggle for Independence
are told with logical force aud.
ability unsurpassed in any work
of the day. Then follows clear
and succinct account of the for
nation Of the Federal Constitu-
tion the establishment of tie U.
Mon the course of affairs until
the breaking out of the Second
War with England and a full
and comprehensive account of thas
War and its results. The events
of our career from the close OF
that contest down to the CON-
mencement of the Civil War, fol-
low in their order. The history
of the Civil War is related with
intense vigor, and with strict f.
delity TO truth. The author
pleads the case of no party or Sec
ton. He states facts. points out
the lessons which they teach, and
appealing to neither passion nor
political feeling, trusts to the good
sense Of his counfrymen to sus-
tain views. The book contains
an Appendix, giving an account
Of the approaching Center NAL
