HAND TO HAND AMONG The LODGES
Desperate Fighting by the
Bucks and SQuaWs.
FINAL RETREAT OF THE SAVAGES.
Corrected List Of the Killed and
Wounded.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD. I

this morning in company with General Howard
after a tremendous rifle with small body guard
and some Indian scouts.
NOT so BAD As REPORTED.
The accounts of the fight given by the panic
stricken citizens IN their hight from the scene |
find are either entirely untrue or grossly exagger-
ated. They can be, perhaps, as well corrected by
simple statement of the facts us in any other
way and these proceed to give yon.
DETAILS or THE FIGHT.
After persistenty following on the trail of the
Indians for some days, word brought to Gen
eral Gibbon that the reds were encamped on the
Big Fork near the junction of the Bitter Root and
Bannock trails, and shortly before midnight the
whole command was on the march, and at dawn on
the morning OF the 9th they struck the hostile
prise was complete, the great mass of the Indians
being in their BEDS. The soldiers were right in the
midst OF the tepces before the firing commenced,
and with the first crack OF the guns the savages
met in many instances with death shot before the
situation was fairly realized.
TOO SMALL FORCE.
With all his advantages, however, the force OF
General Gibbon was too small TOR the work he had
undertaken. So small indeed was his force that he
was unable to cover the entire Indian line in his
attack, which enabled large part of the savages
to concentrate among the remoter tepees and in
ire hru all surroundings than from which hath tna
bucks and squaws kept up an incessant and well
directed fire, which forced the troops into defen-
sve position, from which the savages attempted to
dlslodge them, but without success.
FLIGHT OF THE INDIANS
The fight was kept up for considerable time
but finally resulted in the flight of the Indians to
the southeast, leaving considerable number Of
their dead on the field.
THE CASUALTIES
The loss OF General Gibbon is very large in pro-
portion to the number OF troops engaged and
clearly shows the desperate character OF the fight
ing. The following IS che statement OF the killed
and wounded -
Captain LOGAN.
Lieutenant BRADLEY.
Seventeen soldiers and five citizens.
WOUNDED
General GIBBON, slightly.
Captain WILLIAMS.
Lieutenant COOLIDGE.
Lieutenant ENGLISH.
Lieutenant WOODRUFF.
Thirty men.
SUPPLIES NOT CrT OFF.
None OF General Gibbons supplies were cut on,
as reported lie did not even lose horse by
capture. Everything possible is being done for the
wounded, most OF whom are very comfortable, and
additional medical aid with food and decacies
adapted to their condition, Is expected soon
THE PURSUIT
General Howard will continue the pursuit OF the
Indians as soon as his cavalry comes up 1t ~
terribly worn by Its long continued forced marches
but 1t is expected to arrive here tomorrow night
marching distance OF seventyone miles in two
days.

warm meats Those who have never used
these trifing additions can scarcely APP
preciate their artistic effect smong the
more solid appointments of very plain
and economical meal.
1t is in such little things as the garnish-
ing of dishes, and the neat arrangement
of things in general which go upon the
table, that the good housewife can shew
her taste and superiority over the poor
one; for money will purchase grand china
sets, the best silver-ware, fine cut glass,
and other handsome adjuncts to grandeur,
but alas the pig is pig still, although he
sleeps in rosewood sty and has diamond
rings in his ears. The same will hold
good among the genus homo, for, while
wealth may be very convenient, and enable
one to purchase position in society and
many comforts and luxuries, it cannot
make ladies and gentlemen, for they are
the products of birth and education,
and they will ever show their character,
whatever position they may be called
upon to fill.
1t is to those who possess the taste, but,
through circumstances have failed to show
or improve it, that we appeal in this mat
ter of improving the table at meal time,
by little cheap, innocent, but attractive
garniture. One soon gets into the habit
of exercising good taste in arrangement,
and where there is family of children,
many useful lessons may be leaned, the
influence of which may pass on through
several generations.
To make the most of what one has, is
the highest kind of wisdom, and
pewter mug may be kept as clean, if not
as bright as one made out of the purest
silver.

survival of the FIt,est.-

The ingenious doctrine propounded by Mr.
Darwin, the tireless investigator of nature and
herlaws, is as applicable in determining the
fate of medicines as in that Of the animal
species. Every year new remedies are
brought before the public, and are soon COM
pletely discarded as their sale rapidly decreases
Only those medicines which are best
suited to the peoples wants survive the first
test. If they ARE tried, and found wanting in
the merits which they are claimed to possess,
no amount Of advertising viii make them
popular. OF all the remedies ever introduced
TO the public, none are so popular as DIR.
Pierce's Family Medicines. Their sale has
steadily increased each year, and wholesale
druggists assert that the present demand for
them is greater than ever before. If you
would patronize medicines scientifically pre-
pared use DIR. Pieree's Family Medicines.

There are far too many housewives who

And / smiled as down the staircase
Gathered loud the little shoes
Leaving me, the darling hurried
Down to Mary in his glee,
Mammals wiling lots Of letters;
Use letter, Mary-see!'
No one heard the little prattler,
As once more he climbed the stair,
Reached his little cap and tippet.
Standing on the entry stair
No one heard the front door open,
No one saw the golden hair.

No one saw the golden hair,
Till voice Of frightened sweetness
Rang out on the autumn air.

Stood the bcauteous vision there,
Then the little face lay lifeless,
Covered DER with golden hair.
Reverently they raised my darling,
Brushed away the curls Of gold,

Grey's gentle, reproachful eyes.
1.-THE next morning when we had taken
our seats in school, we saw that Amabel
Grey's was unOccupied. Rut just as the
master had finished the opening prayer,
the door Enclosed, and shrinking little
figure glided into the empty seat.
I've all looked in wide-mouthed as
constituent. Even the teacher stopped
involuntarily in the middle of command
and looked after the late-comer.
Gould that be Amabel Gregg Her
dress was plain linsey, scarcely better
than James. All the dainty frills end
ribbons had disappeared. The lovely
curls, of which she was so vain, were
braided tightly back from her tear-dis-
colored face. I never beheld such a
transformation. At first, we could not
believe 1t was really Amabsl, and we
even turned in our seats to stare at her,
until the master called US to order by a
terrible rap on the desk with his ruler;
meanwhile Amabel covered her face with
her hBnds, and sobbed very much as Jane
had done on the previous day.
1T seems that Mrs. Grey had learned
how pitilessly her daughter had treated
little Jane at school, and she had taken
this way TO punish her ard at the same
time check the girls growing vanity.
Some Of the boys made sport of the
Inundated child, but the majority of us
felt her punishment keenly as rebuke to
! ourselves.
All even TO little Jane ontreated Mrs
Grey to allow Amabel 10 resume her own
pretty clothes. But she refused US very
| kindly So. for sn entire week the proud
girl wore the dress poverty, made more
/ terrible by disgrace. 1t was bitter, but
effectual lesson. The child was cured OF
her thoughtless pride, and showed ever
afterward tender sympathy and kind
ness for the ill-clothed and friendless.
