Wounded Vessels.
years.

Capt. H. w. Vessels, of the Third
United States Cavalry, arrived in the
city from the plains last evening, and
took lodgings at the Palmer House.
He is the officer who was entrusted
with the custody of the Cheyenne In
dians held as prisoners at Camp Rob-
inson. 1t was his command that so
nearly annihilated the remnant of the
band which escaped from the post on
Jan. 9. Captain Vessels left Camp Rob-
inson five days ago. He is en- route to
Florida, to join his family, and expects
to be absent from his command three
months. His shapely head is disfigured
by very ugly bullet-wOund. The cash
plowed by the ball extends from the
right temple around to a point just
over the tip of the ear. The cutane-
Gus and meaty substance is stripped off
to the scull. The wound requires to
be carefully dressed every few hours.
Captain Vessels narrative of the cam
paign against the Cheyennes abounded
in incidents and details not embraced
in the official and other accounts here
tofore published. He defended his con
duct in Withholding. rations from the
prisoners by declaring that his action
in that regard was fully warranted by
the circumstances and exigencies of the
case. He had told the Cheyennes that
he had imperative orders from the War
Department to remove them back to
their old agency in Indian Territory.
To this they answered that they would
never be removed there alive. Captain
Vessels said he could have ordered a
squad of armed soldiers to enter the
barracks and overpower them, but such
an attempt would have been promptly
resisted and resulted in desperate and
indis0riminate fight, attended, in all
probability, with great loss of life. He
had but one duty'to perform, and that
was to execute the order of his superb
ors; the Indians had but one purpose,
and that was to die rather than submit
to removal. So the plan of starving
them little recommended itself as
worthy of trial He added that the
Indians did not suffer from want of
food. They had been laying up for a
future day, and, in expectation of a
long g-oontemplated outbreak, had cached
large quantities of bread and other ra-
tions. When, therefore, the issue of
rations was abridged, instead of being
pinched by hunger, they drew upon the
provisions which they had concealed.
The Captain does not deny the Chey-
ennes the full need of credit for the
admirable courage and heriosm dis

Captain Vessels received the wound in
the head. He saw the Indian raise
pistol and fire at him. The force of
the bullet knocked him on his hands
and knees, and for second or two he
was considerably dazed. A blood
vessel had been severed and he bled
profusely. Indeed, the blood spurted
from his head with such force as to be-
spatter the pantaloons of an officer who
was standing fifteen feet away.
The Captain said he had read in some
newspapers that the Cheyennes found
dead in the pit after the fight was over
were nearly naked That he pro-
nounced piece of romancing. They
had plenty of blankets, and each buck
carried two extra pairs of moccasins.
The squaws wore belts of ammuni-
ton around their bodies, under their
clothes. The Captain was struck by
the indifference of the women to their
appalling situation and surroundings.
They evinced no emotion. and watched
the burial of the Indians in the rifle
pit where they had fought and fallen
with perfectly stolid looks. One girl,
daughter of Dull-Knife, wept bitterly
at the sight of the bodies of her brother
and sister, but with this exception they
manifested no emotional symptoms.
The Captain says there has been much
said about the heroism of the Indians.
The soldiers, he thinks, should share a
little of the credit, for they fought vail
antly.- Chicago Times.

Of IL. The letters we're too innocent
and too little point in them. But they
were done with admirable skill. The
grammar was complete, ,.and the little
dots or marks which burglars use TO
guide them in writing the words which
are TO be read were entirely absent.
The way in which the deception is eff
fected is this: The correspondents, be-
fore beginning, take q sheet OF paper
and cut holes In it, which, of course, in
the two half sheets exactly correspond.
They each take one-half sheet, and
when letter Is to be written the writer
so arranges the words that those in
tended to be read shall appear in the
holes when the half-sheet is placed over
the paper, which Is of the same size.
When his correspondent receives the
letter he places his half-sheet over N
and reads Off the words as you did.
The difficulty, which was so well con-
quered in this case, is to make the sense
run fiuently, and so prevent any visible
break in the writing. Without the half
sheet with the holes in it no one can
have the slightest clue to the real
meaning.
"My suspicious, once aroused, were
confirmed by the inquiries which l
made. The whole story about the sis
ter was fabrication. The letters did
come from Jersey, the answers went to
Fleet street, to the charge of very no
torious foreign agents. But if our friend
had not been fool enough to leave his
half-sheet in his desk, we might have
CROPPED in vain for the mystery"
Beaumont disappeared that night, and
was never heard of again at the Admi-
rally. 1t transpired afterward that some
accomplice had warned him of the ex-
pert's visits to the Admiralty, and his
inquiries in Jersey. He had made an
attempt TO get an admittance to his
rooms, but was scared by the sounds he
heard, and contrived to escape to
France. The lady who acted the sister,
and who visited the Admiralty, partly
to put the authorities off their guard,
and probably to interchange the key To

ADVICE 1o C,onsumptIven.

The celebrated physician, DIR. Paul Memey-
er, gives the following valuable suggestions
to persons suffering from lung affections:
"The patient must with scrupulo us conscien-
tiousness insiet upon breathing fresh, pure
air, and must remember that the air Of closed
rooms Is always more or less bad.
No man, however uncleanly, would drink
muddy, dirty water. A party which occupies
a room for hours breathing the same air,
might be compared to party OF bathers
drinking the water in which they bathe. The
patient must keep the window OF his bedroom
open. Night air is fresh air without daylight.
In close, crowded rooms the patient suffering
from lung complainta. breathes consumptive-
ly.n By taking thesy precautions and using
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and
Pleasant Purgative Pellets, fully .one-half OF
the cases of lung complaints would be cured
In six months. For cough and irritation OF
the lungs do not a yays indicate the presence
of consumption, although 1t may result In
that disease, and IL consumption has not al
ready become deeply seated in the system,
this is the most efficient course Of treatment
that can be pursued outside OF any instttu-
ton that provides special facilities for the
treatment OF this disease. DIR. Plerce's cele-
brated Invalids Hotel is such an institution.
