The DEVILS Daughters.

Our special correspondent with Gen.
Howard writes that the wounded were
fearfully tortured and multilated by the
Nez Perces squaws on the Big Hole bat
tie ground. The soldiers had taken the
Indian village, 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 already taken possession of.
They had desperate encounter but car
ried the point, 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 their trenches, the squaws man :.
gled and tortured the poor fellows who
were still alive but unable to help them
selves. The atrocities perpetrated upon
the helpless boys in blue by these she
devils can hardly be realized by any one
unaccustomed to tales of savage barbara
ty. They heated their camasrhooks red
hot and then thrust them into the bo-
dies Of the wounded ; mangled them in
every conceivable manner, and slowly
tortured them to death in ways known
only to red devils. Early in the action
bugler, a mere boy, was wounded ia
both legs. One of his comrades carried
him off the field and then returned 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 sufferings can
be imagined, and death was certainly a
welcome relief to him.-Salt Lake Tri-
bune.

mo VACANCY 1.-THE late John G.
Rlves, for many years the partner Of
Francis P. Blair in the Washington
Gto6e, was a remarkable man in various
ways. 10 uncommon common-sense
and admirable business and executive
ability he added such personal qualities,
especially as a rGcOntealr, as ndered
him highly priced and always welcome
guest at the tables of Presidents, cabinet
ministers, and clever men of all sorts at
the capital. He used to tell the follow
ing story (sent to the Drawer by a form
er high functionary at Washington of
Major Selah FL. Hobbie, who from 1927
to 1929 was member of Congress from
this State, and who on the accession of
General Jackson to the Presidency was
made Assistant Postmaster General,
which position he held until 1850.
Major Hobbie, like many of our pre-
sent high officials, was ever ready with
the fatal answer, mo vacancy" to all
applicants for office. Mr.. Rives said the
major had promised to appoint friend
of his to the first vacancy, and he had
called on him repeatedly to fulfill that
promise; but the invariabls answer,
mo vacancy" was the excuse, until he
had about concluded to relinquish the

his friend called on him, out of breath
from running, and told him that Mr..
Paine, Post-off1ce clerk, had just been
drowned in the canal, at the same time
begging that he would go with him to
secure his place from Major Hobbie.-
Thinking he had sure thing this time,

their application.

THE BATTLE OF BRANDYWINE,-A
correspondent of the Philadelphia Bull
letin, writing from the scene of the CEN
tennial celebration of the battle of Bran
DIVINE, says:
"On some accounts this celebration
in which we are taking such an interest,
is not exactly the sort of thing to grow
jubilant over. AS rule, a celebration
presupposes an event, the dominant
feature of which is something joyful
as battle in which the celebrants or
their ancestors were victors. To mark
with festivity the anniversary, centen.
NAL or otherwise, of a battle in which
the other side won, is an eccentric per-
Torrance, snacking less of soundness
of head than of goodness of heart. Yet
this is just precisely what we are doing
here on the banks of the Brandywine
where century ago tonight the Brit
lsh and American forces were forming,
to the east and west of the little stream.
for the battle that was to open Phila-
delphia to the enemy, scatter the Con-
tlnental Congress, and drive Washing
ton into winter quarters at Valley Forge.
But in the long run it may be we gained
more by defeat than we lost: for the re-
verse stirred up spirit of logged resis-
lance that told more in the end against
the enemy than would the lighter feel
ing upon success"

AN ENTERPRIsING DETECrIvE.-Not
many months ago it appears a foreign
minister in London invoked the aid of
one of the smartest Scotland Yard detec-
tives to find young girl who had in
herited fortune of a quarter of mil
lion. At the end of six weeks the de-
tective returned and gave in his resigna-
ton. "Well," said his chief. "that's all
right; but where is the girl?" "Oh, I

MRS. SHERMAN ON ROUND DANCING.
Mrs. Sherman, the Generals wife, has
written letter in which she expresses
herself freely about round dancing. She
says her soul revolts.against it, that very
soon women of self-respect will blush at
it, and that public opinion will even
tually drive it out of society. She adds:
1.-THE advocates of this dance have had
their own way long enough-absorbing
all OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES upon and
ridiculing those who quietly decline to
participate openly and constantly in
sinuating of those who decline it that
they are therefore evil-minded, &C., or
quoting impudently and insinuatingly
their only weapon, 'Honi soft gu imadlly
pense,' and then throwing themselves
in mems arms to prove their own purity
of mind.n

sERAPHINA.s SISTER JANE.

Seraphina loves me dearly;
I love Seraphina, too.
Oh! her FORMS divine Tor nearlyO
That's of course 'twixt me and you.
Lots of blisses Fate has sent us
And we'd really not complain
But for one who will torment us
Seraphina's sister Jane!
Small is Seraphina's sister,
Six years old, or thereabouts;
But, by lingo! she's "twister,"
Full of noise and tiny shouts.
Often when I'd gently whisper,
Seraphina's kiss to gain,
In runs that intruding lsper-~
Seraphina's sister Jane!
When we in the garden wander.
Just to view the plants, you know,
AS our words are growing fonder,
And my loved one listens-lo!
In she rushes, hair tangle,
Like doll that's gone insane;
Then feel I'd like to strangle
Seraphina's sister Jane!
When next behold her figure,
At her will make a spring,
And I'll say: when you get bigger
You won't like this sort Of thing!
Counting has brief existence; -
Don't you interrupt again.
When I'm here just keep your distance,
Seraphina's sister Jane"
