vKKKIY GRAIN nvIKw.

We are indebted to Messrs. Lynde,
Wright 4 Co., Of Kansas City, for the following
reliable review of the grain trade.
WHKAr-The past week has been one of some
anxiety to grain dealers, inasmuch rs il was
expected, to great extent, to determine fu-
ture values of breadstnffs in foreign markets
Commencing the new year in the midst of such
distress - hAs not been known in the United
Kingdom aiuce the ~Lancaahire" troubles the
announcement of further failures, followed
by more stringent hank regulations, would
rot have been unexpected. There have been
no important failures, however, and banks
have not ladvanced their rates of discount
This favorable 'niition of Afair~, with the
fact that stocks of wheat have run low in the

prices in favor Of sellers. From this time for

The Cheyenne Captives-Report Of
their Massacre at EOrt RObinsOn.

The officer sent from Omaha by General
Crook to investigate the recent Cheyenne
outbreak, has made an official report. He
says upon the Sd inst. the chiefs were no
titled that the Washington authorities had
decided that they must return south. They
consulted their people, and next day Hog
gave an unequivocal refusal, saying they
would die first. The attempt to starve
and freeze them out was last alternative.
On the 9Th inst. Hog was arrested as a
leader of the oppositionists, and ironed af-
ter stabbing Il soldier in the struggle. The
prison where the remainder Of the Indians
were confined was then barricaded and
the windows draped to conceal their move
ment. 1t became dangerous for white
men to be inside the door, as the Indians
had knives and would use them. 1t was
not known that they had guns, but on the
night of the ninth they fired four shots,
killing two Of the six sentinels, and mad,
a rush through all the windows with the
intention of killing or being killed. The
guard and others pursued. In the firing
which was now going on several women
and children, who were going in the crowd
with the men, were intentionally killed,
though many Of their friends bravely tried
to save them. All the men refused to sur
render, and when exhausted stood at bay.
Several soldiers were killed in trying to
capture them. None were killed who
would be taken. They had concealed their
arms under the prison floor. They had
fifteen guns, two revolvers and many
knives. 4 desperate outbreak had doubt
less been premeditated. The squaws say
the men feared hanging if they returned
south, and in this affair all expected to
die The casualties to date are, soldiers
killed, ): wounded, Z; Indians captured,
IL; killed, -. A company resumed the
trail to-day, Jan. 18th. Col. Schuyler. the
officer who makes this report. having thus
intimated that the Indians had concealed
arms, it is probable that an investigation
will be made into the manner in which
they received them. The press dispatch
es have mentioned that the Red Cloud In
dams visited the prisoners, fact which i.
not stated in the official report.

From the Correspondence Galveston Tenn SewN
A gentleman, an American, who hap
pened to be in Preside del Nortc for
few week. was an eyewitness of the fol-
lowing: A child had died in the neigh
boring house. and the services of the local
band. consisting Of fiddler, harp, and
one or two other musical instruments. had
been engaged to render the ceremonies
unusually impressive. 1t was the custom
to play two tunes, a lively waltz and
some ether sentimental piece, at the
house, and two more pieces at the grave.
The corpse was laid ont in the room. and
the musicians commenced to play Sally
Come Up," or dirge that sounded very
much Ike it. and everybody was enjoying
himself hugely, and saying 1t was the
ninest funeral OF the season. when the
chief of the musicians made signal. and
they all stopped playing just in the middle
Of the tune Everybody was dumbfoundcd,
and asked what had happened to thus
mar the solemnity of the occasion. He
had been hired to play for one corpse,
and behold there were two. II seemed that
another child in the neighborhood had
died, and the parents being too poor to

was going to be music at the other funeral
anyhow, had brought their dead infant
and put it alongside of the corpse in whose
honor the musical entertainment was got
ten up, and without consulting the chief
musician. He was idd,ing away for dear
life, when his musical eye caught the
second corpse to play for which he had
not been hired. and he stopped the music
at once. He was almost pathetic IN his in
dignation at the shameless attempt 10
dead beat him. He told the griefstricken
survivors that he would see them all in
Halifax before he would see them wiring
in whole morgue on him in that way;
they might whistle to their corpse if they
wanted to, for not another jig would he
play. The pail bearers reasoned with HIM
they pointed out the smallness OF the
corpse, and how it cost no more exer.
ton to fiddle for one corpse than 1t did
