Gen. Miles, Last Indian Fight--NO
Quarter Given.

A letter from Helena, Montana, says
"Undoubtedly Gen. Miles brilliant vic
tory in the late battle of Muddy creek
was the most important and destructive
defeat which the Sioux have sustained
since the commencement of hostiities
in the spring of 1875. In no other en-
gagement have our troops captured so
large an amount of supplies and killed
SO many Indians. After Gen. Miles or
dered the hostiles to surrender and shook
hands with Lame Deer, he was naturally
greatly incensed when that treacherous
redskin attempted to assassinate him
Ckilling his orderly instead, and he COM
manded the soldiers to give no quarter !;
consequently, at the end of the engage
ment, of the ffty-two Indians who were
strewn over the battlefield there WAS not
one within whom the last spark of life
had not been extinguished. They were
all E'good Indians" Among the import
ant Indians killed were Iron Star, the
chief medicine man of the Minneconjou
Sioux, Lame Deer. the head chief of the
tribe, and Head Soldier, one of the most
bloodthirsty warriors in the Sioux tribe,
and one Of the ringleaders in the Mime
sofa massacre of 1862 The destroyed
camp was one of Sitting Bulls main
supply points, and contained a vast
amount Of provisions, including $500
pounds Of dried buffalo meat, 2,100
pounds Of sugar, and large quantity Of
coffee, -four, and other necessaries. The
attack was SO complete a surprise that all
of these were captured, and the fleeing
Indians made their hasty departure with
out pound of food Of any character,
many Of them on foot, and few without
even their guns or revolvers. In view of
these facts, and there being no other
Sioux in the near vicinity Of the de-
stroyed village, the 800 hostiles who es-
capped with their lives will inevitably
suffer, and some will very probably per
ish from starvation. The capture in

The British ARMY.

The military strength of England is
viewed with interest at this moment.
Considering the vast extent of the Brit
ish empire, and the number of warlike
and semi-civilized nations under its
guardianship, the standing army OF
Great Britain is very small. The army
is composed of 81 regiments cavalry, 80
brigades Of artillery, and 113 regiments
infantry, besides staff corps.
The infantry regiments are composed
of battalions; the cavalry of squadrons.
A regiment may consist of | battalion of
no men, or be increased to battalions
of ], $50 naen each; total of APO. Tn
this way the strength Of the army may
be more than quadrupled, without new
regiment being created. Each battalion
is divided into 10 companies. The
cavalry regiments are augmented by in
creasing the number OF troops and
squadrons. The ordinary peace foot
ing of British regiment of cavalry is s
troops, of from IS to 70 men each. In
time of war the regiments may contain
Is troops Of 100 men each, though more
than IL troops are rarely put into one
regiment. The artillery brigades are 81
in number, of which are horse brig
ades-that is, the cannoneers are mount
ed-while the other Is are field, or foot
artillery. The peace maximum of an
artillery brigade is 5 batteries, of 6 guns
and $50 men, and the war maximum II
8-gun batteries Of 200 men each. In this
way the British army may be raise d from
10000 to $50, men, without a new
regiment being established.
The force now under arms is 2O8, 800,
of which IL, 800 are cavalry and 28, 800
artillery. Of this force, 5000 are in In
dia, and $4,000 in other places abroad,
and 107, 900 in Great Britain and Ire
land. j.5 #5at< %#+

A Providence doctor, the other day,
engaged to teach young college gradu

He was called to a German who was
down with delirium tremens, and asked
him his age and his business, and learned
that he was musician and 40 years old.
The learned doctor then told his student
that all brass instruments were so

steered for the island of Galita, where
the vessel was run ashore. By diving it
was found that ten feet of her keel had
been torn out near the stem, and sixteen

The cause of the disaster is supposed to

being struck by the upheaved rock.

The Origin of Prairies.

In paper in the american Natural
est, Prof. J. D. Whitney, after showing
the insufhciency of the ordinary theories
to explain why prairies are not en-
croached upon by the bordering woods,
offers the following explanation of his
own:
s'Let us turn at present to the geolog-
lcal side OF the investigation. The
whole of New England and New York,
and large part of Ohio and Indiana,
together with the whole of Michigan
and OF Northern Wisconsin, constitute a
region over which the northern drift
phenomena have been displayed on a
grand scale. Consequently almost the
whole of this area is covered with heavy
deposits of coarse gravel and coarse
bowlder materials These deposits, if
not at the surface, are near it, and the
finer materials deposited on them, by
alluvia1 and other agencies, generally
form only thin covering for the coarse
deposits beneath. But as we go south
and west from the region indicated
| above, we find the underlying rock-the
bedrock" as the Californian miners
would call it-deeply covered with loose
materials, it is true, but we observe that
these are quite different In character
from what they are to the north and
east. We come to region where the
drift agencies have been very limited in
their action The bulk of the super
| fetal detritus has been formed from the
| decomposition of the underlying rock,
and this detritus has been but little dis
turbed or moved from its original posi-
ton. IF cratic deposits exist. they are
usually deeply covered with finer ma
terials derived from close at hand.
A great area exists in Wisconsin and
Minnesota over which not a single
drift pebble has ever been found, either
at the surface or at any depth beneath it.
The strata have become chemically dis
aggregated and dissolved by the percola-
ton of the rain through them, the calca-
reous matter has been carried off in So
luton, and there is left behind as a
residuum the insoluble matter which the
rock originally contained, and which,
consisting largely of silica and silicate OF
ealunlina, forms by it's aggregation sill.
cious and clayey deposit of almost i'm.
palpable fneness. tits this fine material
which makes up the bulk of the prairie
soil; and, as the writer conceives, it is
this fneness which is especially inimical
to the growth of trees. Exactly as we
see the desiccated lakes in the midst OF
the forests gradually filing up with finely
comminuted materials and becoming Gov
cred with a growth of grasses or sedges,
which is not afterward encroached on by
trees, no matter whether the ground be-
comes completely dry or whether it re-
mains more or less swampy, SO we have
the prairies, which have certainly never
at any time been overspread with forests,
and which would always remain as they
are, provided the climate underwent no
radical change and they were not inter
fered with by man. It is for the vege-
table Psychologist to say why this fine
ness Of soil is unfavorab1e to the growth
of trees; it is for the geologist and physi-
cal geographer to set forth the facts
which they may observe within the line
of their own professional work"

AL day I have watched tho hours as they
With sluggish footsteps on the dial plate;
And fondly hoped that each would be the last
In which your coming, love, l should await.
You were not wont to stay from me so long,
In other days your steps were not so slow;
I sometimes wonder if it can be wrong
To think you love me less than long ago.
A woman's eye is quick to note the change,
II one there be, Jher0 she has set her heart;
I did not think that time would e'er estrange
Or c~hangeful years could drift us two apart.
/ do not note the lovelight in your eye,
Or see tho tender flush rise on your brow;
And often, too, you pass me coldly by,
And there's no warmth in your caress-
~ now.
1 try TO think it is the added years
Which bring more sombernoss to you and
And when my heart is full, l check the tears,
Lost they unjust, and childish too, should be;
But yet, when you were won't to leave me so,
Twas so bright, and ah! so happy, dear,
] cannot think, in that sweet Icing ago,
Life held for me the memory Of a tear.
We women prize these tender joys too much;
/ wonder II all fee, as mine have flown?
And whom they fade away beneath the touch,
DO all, like me, sit thus and weep alone?
All, me! it is so little that we ask
A gentle word, a tender, kind cares';
III u SnOulu prove lnueeu, 10 DC u tush,
Could men not ieign this weight Of ten
derness?
Alone? Oh, no! these little c~linging arms
Belle tho words that falter on my, tongue;
While sleeping on my breast the baby charms
To lullabies my lips have often sung;
Never alone, my darling, nevcrmore-
This joy will not be taken from my life:
It may, thank Heaven, be still my blessed
store
To gain az MOTHER what Two lost as WIPE.
