WoMAN's RIGHTS.
From a washin gton Letter.

A newly-married couple, rs was decided
from certain unmistakable slgns, entered a
crowded dining-room Of the hotel last even
ing. The bride created favorable whispers
by her sweet face and modest manners. AT
II at night Barney the Waterman, going the
rounds after the lights had been turned down,
discovered a man sitting on the stairs in a
detected attitude. Barney questioned the
figure, and il replied that he was waiting
for his wife to wash?
"That's to thin" quoth the deaf lrishman,
"waitin' fur your washerwoman. Well see
about it. Don't have washin' done in this
house after midnight" Thereupon he col
Jared him, and took him a struggling prs
oner to the office, were the shaken up and
discounted bridegroom related to the clerk
how he had Just taken unto himself wife,
and how tina. queer wife wanted to take a
good wash after her journey, and how she
couldn't wash, she said, while he was in the
room !; she hadn't been used to the company
of the other sex ut such timee, and gave
him a hint TO leave,-a hint which he at
first was loath to take, but at last thought
better Of. So while the pretty bride was
splashing around in the elegant apartment,
before the blazing crate, the young husband
sat in the cold hall on the stairs, head in
hands, until the midnight hour. And yet,
while this outrage upon a gentleman was
being pcrpetrated, the public halls of the
city were filled with women demanding equal
rights. The very idea is absurd. What
man would lock his new wife out Of his
apartment under like circumstances? And
il he did, what woman would cit meekly on
the stairs, and wait to be arrested and taken
to the Office before telling her troubles
The men are not having a fair show in this
| country.

The country is full of rumors and reports
rs to Indian movements and their where
abouts. and therefore when Yellowstone
Kelly popped in on us" rather unexpected
", he found many items of interest to take
with him to his headquarters for the inves.
tigation of his chief. Kelly learned on ar
irving at Berthold, that the Indians of
whom he expected to get some definite in
formation, on his route from that point to
Tongue river had most likely gone north ;
he therefore came straight on TO Buford. l
regret to say, that in the severe blizzard he
encountered, his face was badly frozen. He

In conversation with a scout and other
parties from the upper country recently, !
learned the following: One hundred and
fifty lodges of Ogallalas, Brules and Chey-
ennes crossed the Missouri river ak miles
below the mouth Of Milk river, going north
about the 9Th of the present month. There
were also other small war parties in the
same vicinity travelling north, one of them
with a large herd Of ponies. They were
evidently seeking q junction with Sitting
Bull. Among other items was one to the
effect, that Sitting Bull was on Rock creek,
on this side of the line, and that there are
three hundred lodges of Sitting Bulls band
this side of the line, distributed along Rock
creek and Frenchman's creek. There are
some nine different camps altogether count.
ing those on the other side Of the line with
those lying on this side. On Rock creek is
also a camp Of halfbreeds which CO, tains Il
few Nez Perces braves.
These Indians (the hostiles) are contin.
ually moving back and forth, visiting the
Yanktonais' camp frequently. The Yank'
tonais and Assinaboins are constantly losing
ponies some two hundred head altogether
having been stolen within a short time
The most reliable reports here, however
show that Sitting Bull himself is not on thi.
side of the line, though some ofhis followers
are. If rumor speaks truly, the Indians going
north were we'll supplied with ammunition
and there we're more behind them march.

THE SPRING CREEK TROUBLE.
Indian Operations About the Southern
Foothills.
Rapid City Journal, sGth.

These placid fiends have commenced dev.
iltry, somewhat earlier than was anticipated
III this section. On Sunday last a band OF
twenty five or thirty Sioux attacked q freight
outfit some five miles south of Rapid City,
and wounded George H. Firman, owner OF
one of the teams, shooting him in the back
aud through the right arm. The Indians
had stuck their medicine pole in a ravine
near the road, and evidently intended to
make a general raid on the freighters. They
fired . number of shots and killed one and
wounded another mule belonging to Mr..
Firman. A party of freighters who were
just behind the Firman outfit, comprehend
ed the situation and rode ahead as fast as
possible. The Indians evidently had not
expected this move and hastily rode of in
an easterly direction. One of the freighters
rode rapidly into town, gave the alarm. and
in q few moments various squads of u cit.
liens on horseback and on foot hurried to
the scene. DR.. Whitfield wa promptly on
hand and Mr.. Firman was brought to the
city. Among those first to reach the scene
of attack were Messrs. Pensinger and
Worth, who captured the medicine pole a
splendid specimen, heavily lined with
painted feathers-and after rendering all
the assistance required, bore the fag back
in triumph. 1t can now be seen at the
store of Chas. N. Allen, corner OF Rapid
and Fifth streets. One reason that might
aud probably did operate in causing the
hostiles to decamp so suddenly was because
three of their ponies had escaped and they
went in hot pursuit, forgetting their flag
until 1t had been captured, and the mounted
men from this city were dashing over the
hills and through the canyons in pursuit of
the fleeing hell hounds.
Sheriff Moulton and posse, VIM. John
son, Tones, Allen, Theo. Anderson, Judge
LeGros, Mart. Pensinger, Steele, and all the
best Indian fighters in the ciiy-and there
are a good many who have been through
the mill in early days-were efficient in
their efforts to overtake the red riders. All
day and through the night, the greatest
efforts were made to discover the hostiles,
and keep our people on their guard. At
Spring creek, a band of eleven reds were
discovered last Monday, and attempted to
get away with some stock, but were driven
of. On the same day three Indians were
seen on the hills between Rapid and Rock
vile, but they made no hostile demonstra-

It would appear a. though the vermin

MILITARY GARDENERS.

Washington, Jan. %, 1s7s.-General
Sherman yesterday received from Major
Brisbin, commanding the post at Fort FL.
lis, Mont ma, reports of company gardeners
for the year just ended. They state that
the troops have been for two years con
stant'y in the field during all the summer,
or growing months; vt both seasons they
have had excellent gardens, The amount
Of perlshable stuff was enormous, All the
vegetables used are Of the best quality. So
far as living is concerned, Fort Ellis is one
of the best stations for cavalry in the coun-
try, and the cheapest to supply. There
have been no assertions for a long time. and
the commander attributes this in q large
measure to the manner in which the sol
diers are fed and cared for. The reports
above alluded to give the amount of pota'
toes, onions. turuips, carrots, beets. parsnips,
satisfy and cabbagcs raised on 261a acres by
companies F, G, H and L, Of the Second,
and company G, of the Seventh cavalry.
