I'd, 1877.
AIine is sweetly sleeping
In the cold embrace Of death;
Closed are the beaming eyes.
flushed and silent is her breath.
Calm and swcetly she is sleeping,
Her hands folded on her breast.
She has reached Heavens bright shore,
All, beautiful homo of rest.
School-mates, no more will she be
With you. counting long school hours
No more will she reap earth's thOrns,
No more its sunshine and flowers.
No more with smiles of gladness.
Will she her little friends greet,
But in Heaven she's waiting
You all. and anxieusly to meet.
Grieve not dear friends for her.
She is from earth's sorrow free,
Among angels is singing.
Waiting and watching for thee.

A Coed story. but Rather Too Highly
EmbelItahed


New YORK, February GA dispatch
dated Tongue River, January 10, says.
General Miles has had another Sc
we're fight with the Indians, and has
gained another signal victory over
them. The Indians consisted OF bands
of Cheyennes aud Ogallalas, under
Crazy Horse, and numbered between
600 and 800 lodges. General Miles,
command left this post ON the 9th OF
December, and proceeded up Tongue
river. His command consisted OF five
companies OF the Fifth infantry and
two companies OF the Twsnty-second
cavalry, and numbered about three
hundred fighting men. Through
lack OF transportation facilities, Cen
eral Miles was compelled TO employ
Montana OK teams that hap
pened to be at this post,
to transport his supplies. The
train he sent out three days In advance
Of the departure,of his main command,
under charge of Major Charles Dickey,
with two companies of the Twenty
second infantry and one OF the Fifth
infantry. After overtaklng the train
with the balance OF his command,
General Miles abandoned the wagons
aud drove his oxen, In order to have
them at hand to assist In pulling his
train up steep hills and through deep
canyons. AT the time of leaving the
post heavy snow was on the ground,
and heavy storms, with intensely cold
weather. prevailed during the whole
period OF the expedition. The move
ment OF his troops was necessarily
tedious, and the hardships endured
were very great. General Miles,
after proceeding some sixty miles up
the Tongue, discovered signs Of recent
Indian encampments, and pushing on
struck their full force on the 18th inst.
On the evening Of that day, quite
heavy skirmish took place, and on the
9Th, the Indians to the number of 1909
warriors, well armed and plentifully
supplied with ammunition, appeared
on his front. General Miles attacked
them with his little command, and
Notwithstanding his disadvantage In
numbers, succeeded In gaining a most
decisive victory. The loss Of the
Indians Is hard to estimate, but IL
known to have been very great. The
battlefield was covered with traces
Of blood. The Indians fought with
great desperation, and the battle was
contested on very rough and
broken ground where II would have
been impossible for cavalry TO ride.
The Indians were entirely on foot and
charged our troops repeatedly. Our
officers and men displayed the greatest
GOODNESS and courage. and poured
deadly volleys into the ranks OF the
hostiles. For five hours the fight
ragged as terribly as ever was witnessed
on any battlefield. A heavy snow
storm prevailed during portion fthe
fight. General Miles's loss was four
killed and six wounded. General
Miles pursued!the. Indians into Wolf
Mountains as far as his limited sup
plies would permit. His command re-
turned, to this post in good condition,
considering the terrible hardships 1t
has endured.

The Minintcrial Changes ia the Turk
tsh Cabinet.

LONDON, February 6.--The porte In
notifying the representatives abroad
OF the min isterial charges, adds that
the Sultan urgently recommends the
grand vizar to speedily and complete
ly develop all the principles published
by the constitution, and to carry out
all laws and administration institu-
tions applicable to the provinces. The
Pail. Mall Gazette this afternoon says
1t does not believe that Midhat Pashas'
downfall betokens more conciliatory
attitude, but II proves that
Manenheim Pashas accession
means more incorporating resist
ance. The Gazette thinks the most
likely cause of the change Is that the
sultan had become jealous Of Medhat
Pasha's influence and chafed under the
impotence of the position to which the
energetic grand vlzier had reduced
him, and lent himself to intrigues
from the success Of which he might
hope to regain somewhat Of the lost
imperial authority; SO that Edhil
Pasha's ascension may be purely an
effect Of men, not measures. and does
not foreshadow any change In the po-
litical prospect.
