The DEVILS Daughters.

A special correspondent Of the Salt
Lake TriJpne, with Gen. Howard, writes
that the wounded were fearfully tortur-
ed and mutilated by the Nez Perces
squaws on the Big Hole battle ground.
The soldiers had taken the Indian vii
lage, but being overpowered by numbers
they were obliged to fall back and fight
their way to a position on the side of
the mountain which the enemy had ta-
ken possession of They had desper-
ate encounter but carried the place, and
Immediately dug trenches with their
trowel bayonets. In the meantime the
wounded had been left on the bottom by
the creek, and while the bucks set fire
to the grass and tried to burn the little
band of soldiers out of the trenches, the
squaws mangled and tortured the poor
fellows who were still alive, but unable
to help themselves. The atrocities per-
petrated upon the boys in blue by these
she devils can hardly be realized by any
one unaccustomed to tales of savage
barbarity They heated their camas-
to the bodies of the wounded; mangled
them in every conceivable manner, and
slowly tortured them to death in ways
only known to red devils Early in the
action bugler, a mere boy, was wound
ed in both legs. One of his comrades
carried him off the field and then return
ed to the fight, the bugler saying that
he would rest there few minutes and
then try and walk off to place of safe
ty. The Indians got possession of the
creek and bottom land, the squaws dis
covered, mutilated him and burned both
his eyes out. The boys sutferings can
be imagined, and death was certainly a
relief to him.

Confederate PetticOatS.

Gen JAS H. Wilson's recent article
upon the capture OF Jefferson Davis,
called forth a long letter from John H.
Reagan, of Texas, in which he denied
that the fugitive President attempted
to escape in disguise, and alleged that
the only foundation for the story was
the fact that Mrs Davis threw a water
proof over her husbands shoulders when
he emerged from his tent. Julian G.
Dickinson, who, as Adjutant of the 4th
Michigan Cavalry, took part in the ar
rest of Mr. Davis, sends the Detroit Tri;-
bune point blank contradiction of Mr..
Reagan's account. He says that after
the camp had been surrounded, Private
Andrew Bee, of Company l., pointed
out to him three persons dressed in fe-
male apparel, and called out, "Adjutant,
there goes a man dressed in woman S
clothes" The Adjutant started after
them, calling out halt" repeatedly, and
reached them as several troopers in
charge of Corporal Munger dashed up,
bringing their carbines ready for use.
The fugitives halted; Mrs. Davis threw
her arms around her husbands shoul-
ders, and the lady close to him formed a
shield which was respected. Davis had
on black dress, and though it did not
fit fairly at the waist, it covered his
form to the boots; the boots betrayed
his disguise. A black shawl covered his
head and shoulders. His identity was
confirmed by the removal of the shawl
from his face. The Adjutant promptly
directed him to retire to his quarters
and ordered Corporal Munger to place
the men with him and keep careful
guard. The Adjutant certainly has the
advantage over Mr. Davis's Postmaster
General in this correspondence. One
saw the Confederate before he had q
chance to unmask in the tent; the Other
did not.

Hand-Shaking.
New York Herald

Gen. Grants opinion of the custom of
hand shaking, expressed lately to cor
respondent of the Herald, is that it is
nuisance. Upon this point he was very
emphatic, having just shaken hands
with several thousand Scotchmen, with
the English people still to come. The
general said that only strong man
could endure such hand shaking as he
had had in 1868, and it must be severe
tax upon the strength of any one per-
son to have to withstand the grip of
succession of hundreds of hands. He
was surprised to have found hand shak
ing SO common in England, as he had
supposed it to be an American custom;
but this shows that he does not study
as he should his Shakespeare, in whose
plays he will find many references to the
habit. The English are responsible for
that, as for many other vices, which are
ignorantly credited to this country. 1t
is singular that this custom, which is
now the sign of confidence, had its ori-
gin in distrust Half-civilized men,
strangers to each other, meeting extend
ed their right arms to show they held
no weapons, and grasped each others
hands so that neither could have the adj
vantage in the case of treachery. Thus
the manners of barbarians are continu-
ed in the courtesies Of the moderns. 1t
is eminently fitting that the custom
should have had a savage origin. The
promiscuous hand d-shakings we are COM
PEELED every day to endure is, as Gen
Grant says, one Of the great petty nui-
sances of society Bony hands, hard
hands, finger-crushing hands, dirty and
greasy hands, and, worst hands of all,
those clammy. corpse-like hands, which
make one feel as if he had taken hold of
a toad, are held out to us every day.
There is the person who nearly dislo-
Gates your joints to show his friendship,
and the man who extends couple of
fingers, as if to express his contempt.
The hand of brother in foreign land
may be welcome; but generally the Gus
tom is one more honored in the breach
than the observance. 1t is a pity that
some less familiar method of salutation
Or farewell is not adopted. Certainly,
unpleasant as hand-shaking frequently
is, it is better than the nose-rubbings of
Africa, or the kissing and embracing of
Continental Europe. Probably the bow
of the japanese or the Chinese, who in
many respects are more civilized than
even we are, would be the best substi-
tute. AS it is, the custom of hand-sha
king has become altogether too common
to have any value as token of civility,
and, indeed, it often happens that when
we shake hands with man. if we obey
ed our honest impulses, we should kick
him down stairs
Buchanan County bulletin. [volume] (Independence, Iowa) 1869-1891, 1877-10-19
Wraps.
Harper's Bazaar.

Long slender sacques will again be
favorite wraps for fall and winter.
Those for general use are of medium
length, and with coat flaps behind.
These are also shown in smooth cloths
of various light gray shades and, more
over, of clear blue and of scarlet For
the latter the trimming is rows of APP
plique embroidery in shaded colors.-
More dressy sacque cloaks are long
enough to envelop the whole figure,
which they fit closely and have side dra-
perles in the way of capes or flowing
sleeves. These come in black repped
silk, plush cloths, and the knotted curl
ed rough surfaces that are woven of fine
camcl's hair. There are velvet sacques
in the Louis Quinze style, which is real
ly the Breton jacket with its vest fast
ened on one side. Brocaded stuffs and
stamped velvets are much used in com
bination with heavy silks for dressy
cloaks. The trimmings are the richest
passementeries, galloons, chenille orna-
ments, lace wide fringes, and the various
beaded trimmings, such as jet, mordore,
and clair de lune, also feather borders of
new designs. Circulars of clinging
shapes are shown for carriage wraps.
Mantles as long as the sacque cloaks or
as small as fichus, in scarf shape, like
Dolmans, and as round capes, are shown
and the materials are as varied as the
styles. The Carrick cloak-a long III
ster shape, with three small round capes
known as coachmen's capes-is the styl-
ish overall. 1t is seen in rain cloaks
made of waterproof CLOTH and of the
English cloths of gray invisible plaids
used for travelling cloaks Evening
cloaks are of the finest white brocaded
silk and satin, with threads of gold or of
silver interviewer in the design They
have Dolman sides but envelop the fig
ure as the long sacque cloaks do. They
are richly trimmed with fur or down
borders, with galloon in which gold or
silver threads are seen, and with exceed
ingly rich fringes; there are also cash
mere galloons, with all the colors of In
dia shawls, for trimming cream-c -colored,
scarlet and pale blue wraps. The luxu-
rious fur Innings will be continued for
midwinter cloaks; those of squirrel lock,
gray and white, are now so accurately
initiated in cloth that it is not easy to
detect the difference without examina-
ton. Seal fur sacques are OF medium
length, and are fitted more closely to the
figure than those worn hitherto.
Simple and pretty wraps for Autumn
days are square shawls of India or of
French cashmere of solid color, lightly
fringed and worn in fichu fashion, cross
ed on the breast, and tied behind. Those
of black camel's hair are especially styl-
ish. French cashmere shawls of this
kind are sold for Sc and upward, to the
fine Chedder shawls that cost from $35
to $50.
