The Indians as Fighters and Athletes.

The practical experience of the recent
Rosebud battle has about exploded the
idea that white man is The goal in
the field of five Indian. The daring
and recklCssness shown IN this first
pitched fight of the campaign proves
how much they had staked on the re-
suit. Those who claim that the Indian
war viii be of short duration disregard
the fact that the Sioux are among the
very best fighters in the world. They
possess union and self-reliance, cunning
without an equal, a personnel in which
every man is an athlete capable Of
super-eminent feats Of endurance, horse
manship, and agility. Further, they
possess tie vast advantage of fighting
on ground of their own selection, in
their own country, and with whose re-
sources, either for supplies or defense,
they have perfect familiarity. Ii af-
fords them, too, at every step natural
Notifications equal-for purposes Of
concealment or defense-to the most
elaborate work possible TO engineering
skill. Well mounted, armed with the
very best of modern small arms, ever
alert and tireless, regarding death in
battle as an honor 10 be sought rather
than as calamity 20 be avoided, they
are practically as effective as a civilized
army Of 10000 men operating in an
open country and according 10 the rules
of modern warfare. -ChicoJ) Field.

An Elopement that was Not Romantic


The quiet of this place, says Day-
mont correspondent of the Wilmington
(Del.) Hratd, has been somewhat ruff
fled the past few days by the recital Of
an event that had its beginning in all
the novelties of a romance, but found a
denouement i'm the ridiculous. A young
man here has been enamored of a
young lady of fair education and per-
sonal attractions of no mean order.
Ills affections met with reciprocation,
and as her father would not for AN in
slant countenance marriage between
them an elopement was the first thing
that suggested itself To the two, and on
"A very dark night, very recently, he
handed a sylph-like form down from a
ladder that found its termination at her
bedroom window.
At Churchman's Wharf boat was
young man helped the fair one, and
with one splash of the oars the craft
sped rapidly out into the stream. But
sudden change came over the happi-
ness of this dream. The young lady
repented what she had done, and in
sisted upon being taken back to her
papa. The young man, hardly able 10
realize the sudden change, begged and
implored her to fly with hi %, and they
would be made man and wife. But the
young lady remained firm 10 her pur-
pose To return home, and there was no
course left for him, as a gentleman, but
TO comply with the request, and this he
did, though with considerable re-
luctance.
The cold gray OF day was Just break
ing in the horizon, and when they had
landed and were proceedingup Church
man Street To the home of the young
lady the figure Of man was seen adj
vancing with a shotgun on his shout
der, who proved to be the father of the
young lady. He had gotten up early,
and seeing ladder in very unusual
way against the house, concluded that
the ladder didn't grow there, and he
went TO the top Of il and found w',sre il
led to, and that the fair one of eighteen
summers and winters was not there.
Then IL was he took down from the
mantelpiece that trusty old weapon that
his grandfather SO proudly bore in the
Revolution and started.
"Papai" she said, ''we've had such
a nice ride on the river" Yes" said
the young man, sit was delightful"
4" Yes, " said the old man, as he took
down the heirloom from his shoulder
and fingered about the lock, b" but it
was not pleasant as propose 10 make
1t if YOU can not travel faster than pow
der or lead" Then it was a hat stood
on three hairs, two coat-tails stood up
like sails on a yacht, two legs struck an
attitude like pea sticks ready for the
peas. and before the heirloom could be
brought 10 bear the hero had gone.
Where, the echo answered not, but the
young lady has lost all taste for romance
on bread and water, and signs for one
good square attack on beefsteak and
onions or ham and cabbage.
