OF Indians, when overtaken by storm, lost
his command in the Bad Lands OF Nebras-
ka, and was rescued after enduring many
hardships and bordering on q condition
OF starvation. The nature Of the affair
ending SO tragically for the young officer,
is not known, but judging from the
meaagre details at hand, the bad luck at
tending Major Thornburgh has followed
him even to his death. Major Thorn
burgh was a. man of genial manners, a
favorlte among his classmates, and with
the cquisition of experience would have
become an ornament and useful officer
to the service. he was appointed from
Tennessee, being son of Congressman
Thornburgh Of that State.

A True Woman.

/ would have woman as true as Death.
At the first real lie which works from the
heart outward, she should be tenderly
chloroformed into better world, where
she can have an angel for a governess,
and feed on strange fruits which will
make her all ever again, even to her bones
and marrow. Whether gifted with the
accident Of beauty or not, she should
have been moulded in the rose red clay
of Love, before the breath of life made a
moving mortal of her. Love-capacity is
a congenlal endowment; and think, after
a while, one gets to know the warm-hued
natures it belongs to from the pretty
pipe-clay counterfelts of them: Proud

woman's Inferno, where the punishments
are smallpox and bankruptcy. She who
nigs off the END of brittle courtesy, as
one breaks the tip of an icicle, to bestow
upon those whom she ought cordially and
kindly to recognize, proclaims the fact
that she comes not merely of low blood,
but OF bad blood. Consciousness of un-
questionable position makes people gra-
cious in proper measure in ali; but ii a
woman puts on airs with her real equals,
she has something about herself or her
family that she is ashamed of, or ought
to be. Middle, and more than middle

too few words from the woman we love,

OF woman's speech can dissolve more of
