type it is III every instance the best paper
in the place. When printed in capitals. it
is the only paper IN the place. When
printed in roman letters it is neither the
best nor the only paper, but is usually a
very good one, notwithstanding. The list
gives the population Of every town and
the circulation Of every paper. t is not a
cooperative list. t IS not cheap list
At the foot Of the Catalogue for each State
the important towns which are not cove red

They will no longer yex us,
All, nevermore again.
Wr hear no more a childish voice,
Prattling in baby glee;
Ne list ia vain A ripping laugh,
That foateth out so free.
We haar no more the pattering feet

No tongue can tell how great the void
Thai uaught of earth can fill.
Oh. weary mother, tired, and ve1ed,
I almost envy thee,
For baby's cry is easier borne,
Than this great void can be.
Oh, empty hands, oh, aching heart,
Oh. void that naught can fill,
More welcome far the fret1ni cry

Of his class in a German university, Ia

prospect for a successful career could
hardly have been brighter. A few days

that used to be told in his presence and
which l never heard him deny. While
jourDeying towards the Big Horn noun
tAins, his party was ambuscaded by large
and unusually weI-mounted and armed
party Of Bloods. Louis was some distance
in the advance, leading pack horse. He
probably saw the Indians or suspected
their presence before any Of the rest Of
the party had done So, and il order to put
his companions on their guard, without
alarming the enemy, he carelessly dropped
the halter rope and allowing the pack
horse to travel on alone turned back to-
wards his friends, but before he had gone
more than few steps the Indians charg-
ed upon the party and separated him
from them. The attack was SO sudden
and overwhelming that the men do
nothing but attempt to save themselves by
flight, and one and all made for the brush.
Louis ran down a ravine, at the bottom Of
which large black-tail deer was quietly
reposing, the animal sprang up immediat-
ely in front Of Louis, and started off, but
it is said that the latter kept close at the
heels of the deer until they were out Of
sight Of the Indians and even slapped the
animal on the back TO urge it to greater
speed.
The Blood Indians at this time were so
numerous and troublesome that the trap

against them. The Grows, ana indeed all
other tribes, were mortal enemies Of the
Blackleet, and were glad enough ia avail
themselves Of the assistance Of the whites.
The result Of this alliance was one Of the
most remarkable engagements that ever
occurred in an Indian country. Louis
Bompard, with about twenty trappers and
l30 Grows, laid trap for what was known
as the Little Robe Band, party Of seven
hundred Of the fercest and most danger
Gus Indians in the Blackfeet nation, led
by the famous Chief Little Robe. The
fight took place on the Missouri near Fort
Union. On leaving camp in the morning
the Blackfeet strang out across a high
divide near which the trappers and their
Indian allies were lying in wait. The at
tac6ing party delayed until half their vic
TINS had cr~ssed the mountain and then
fell upon them with such fury that hardly
one escaped, and then turning upon the
rest treated them il like manner. The
band was completely annihilated and con
sidering tie disparity Of numbers, its
conquest was one of the most remarkable
achievements on record.
