BnEvrry is lost art but it is the fault Of
tim. that writer's and speakers cannot he
brief. There is too much to say, because
too many things have happened since the
world started. In the beginning Adam and
I've could talk as concisely as the ten COM
mandments. There were no old Greek frauds
TO quote from, no precedents, no remem-
brance on the part Of Adam Of his mothers

words to waste, and nothing but plain busi'
ness 10 do.

it long train of remembrances of the
joys of childhood. That man is to be

I'VE did not notice contradictions in
terms in those days., as the descent
was made into the big bay of clover and

when Ike and John had gone out after
another load, to "tread down. its
fragrant pillows and catch grass

now, big, hairy man that you are, and
won't acknowledge that you got tired

the sunbeams coming in aslant through
the holes in the roof and wondering
why they all turned round as they came
down, although the chinks were square.
Perhaps none of you care to own, now
that, you are grown up, that you ever,
on rainy days when the barn was nearly
full to the ridge and the swallow-nests
almost within reach, made pile of hay
and climbed up on it till you could

when Ruth CLEANED after Boaz and his
reapers, and certainly was when the
writer "raked after" as the load was
made from the winrow in the meadow

however, which was wanting and most
sadly missed. If in some manner a

CURRENT TOPICS,

A SERIOUS disaster has befallen our
troops operating against the hostile Nez-
Perez Indians in Montana. On the 9th,
Cen Gibbons command, comprising
all told 1S2 officers and men, made an
attack upon the Indian camp located
on the Big Hole, two hours engage
ment having previously been fought,
in which there was great loss on both
sides. The charge upon the
camp was epulsed by the Indians,
who then endeavored to gain possession
of high wooded point occupied by our
troops. In this they were foiled, and
Gen. Gibbon succeeded in terrifying this
position and saving the remnant of his
forces. The Indians then broke camp
and moved off in the direction of Ban
mock. Capt. Logan and Lieuts. Brad.
ley and Bostwick were killed, and Gen
Gibbon, Capt Williams, and Lieuts
Coolidge, Woodruff and English wound
ed, the latter seriously. The total
number of killed was Is, includ.
ing the officers named, and the
wounded numbered 40 This infor.
matiOn was brought to Deer Lodge
bya messengerwhomG ibbon had sentfol
new supplies. He had also sent WORD
10 Gen Howsrd, who appeared to b.
somewhere in the vicinity, for his mueI
needed assistance.
An official dispatch from Gen. Glib
bon, dated Big Hole Pass, Montana
18th, says that his losses an the recen
fight were seven officers and az mel
killed and wounded. The Indians suf
fered much more severely, 40 of thei
dead having been counted on about one
half of the battlefield. Gen. Howard
had arrived and announced that h
would continue the pursuit of the In
dams as soon as possible. Gen. Sheri
dan regards the battle as being a mos
disastrous defeat for the enemy, not
withstanding our troops suffered severe
