The Maiden Warrior.

Sometime just before, or about
the beginning Of the war, Sergeant
Jasper, Of Marion's Brigade, had
the good fortune to save the life of a
young, beautiful, and dark eyed
creole girl, called Sally St. Clair
Her susceptible nature was overcome
with gratitude to her preserver, aud
this sood ripened into a passion of
love, Of the most deep and fervent
kind. She lavished upon him the
whole wealth Of her affections, and
the whole depths of a passion nurt.
ured by a southern sun. When he
was called upon to join the ranks of
his country's defenders, the pros.
pect of their separation almost mad.
dencd her. Their parting came; but
scarcely was she left alone, than her
romantic nature prompted the means
Of a reunion. Once resolved, no
consideration of danger could damp.
en- her spirit, and no. thought Of
consequences could move her pur.
pose. She severed her long and jet.
ty ringlets, and provided herself
with male attire. In these she rob.
ed herself, and set forth to follow
the fortunes of her lover.
A smooth faced, beautiful, and dc.
licate STRIPPING appeared among the
hardy, rough, and giant frames who
composed the corps of which Jasper
belonged. The contrast between
the STRIPPING and these men, in their
uncouth garbs, their massive faces,
embrowned and discolored by sun
and rain, was indeed striking. But
none were more eager for battle, or
so Indifferent to fatigue, as the fair
faced boy. It was found that his
energy Of character, resolution, and
courage, amply supplied his lack of
physique. Meme ever suspected him
to be woman. Not even Jasper
himself, although she was often BY
his side, penetrated her disguise.
The romance Of her situation in.
creased the feryor Of her passion. It
was her delight to reflect that, I'M.
known to him, she was by his side,
watching over him i'll the hour sc.

gazing upon him IN the hour Of
slumber; towering near him when

vinced that death was about to
snatch her away from his side; but
she prayed that she might die, and
he never knew to what lenght the
violence Of her passion led her.
twas an eve before a battle. The
camp had sunk into repose. The
watchfires were burning low, and
only the slow tread of sentinels fell
upon the profound silence Of the
air, as they moved through the dark
shadows of the forest. Stretched
upon the ground, with no other
couch than a blanket; reposed the
warlike form of Jasper. Climbing
vines trailed themselves into cano-.
py above his head, through which
the stars shone down softly. The
faint flicker from the expiring en-
bers of a fire fell athwart his count.
enance, and tinged the cheek Of one
who bent above his couch. It was
the smoothfaced STRIPPING. She bent
low down, as If to listen to his
dreams, or to breathe into his soul
pleasant visions of love and happi-
ness. But tears trace themselves
down the fair ones cheek, and fall
silently but rapidly upon tine brow
of her lover. A mysterious voice
has told her that the hour Of part
ing has come; that tomorrow her
destiny is consumated. There is one
last, long, lingering look, and then
the unhappy maid is seen to tear
herself away from the spot, to weep
out her sorrow in privacy.
Fierce and terrible is the conflict
that on the morrow RACES on that
spot. Foremost in the battle is the
intrepid Jasper, and ever by his side
fights the STRIPPING warrior. Often,
during the heat and the smoke,
CLEANS suddenly upon the eyes of
Jasper the melancholy face of the
maiden. In the thickest of the fight,
surrounded by enemies, the lovers
fight side by side. Suddenly lance
Is levelIed at the breast of Jasper;
but swifter than the lance is Sally
St. Clair. There is wild cry, and
at the feet of Jasper sinks the maid
Ell, with the life. blood gushing from
her white bosom, which had been
thrown, as a shield, before his breast.
He needs not now the din, nor the
danger of the conflict; but down by
the side Of the dying boy he kneels.
Then, for the first time, does he
learn that the STRIPPING is his love;
that often by the campfire, and in
the swamp, she had been by his side;
t]rat the dim visions in his slumber,
of an angel face lowering above
him, had indeed been true. La the
midst of the battle, with her lover
by her side, and the barb still in her
bosom, the heroic maiden dies!
: Her name, her sex, and her noble
devotion, soon became known
through the corps. There was a
fearful groupe gathered around her
grave; there was not one of those
hardy warriors who did not bedew
her grave with tears. They buried
her near the river Santee, Gin Il
green shady nook, that looked as if
it had been stolen out Of Paradise.

from the dock about twenty feet, and

minutes for 3 couple of cross-eyed old

A SWARM OF POST TRADERS.

The Bismarck Tribune, in its account Of
the arrival of the 18th infantry at Bismarck,
gives the following leadership gossip:
Besides the regiment proper, there were
several hundred candidates for post trader
accompanying them at great incidental ex-
pense. Some of them had come through
from Atlanta. Every good sized town fur
n,shed its quota. The second lieutensnts
undoubtedly "smiled" when this brigade
passed them on all sides. Baker, son of j.
G.-Bsker, Of the Benton line Of steamers, is
one of the prominent candidates. Broad
water IS reported ahead. Morris Calm A.
b. Wilder, and DR.. Burleigh are in the
field. Burleigh says he has $50 tons of
stuff on the Gen. Terry coming up the
river now. He is going in and trade any.
how. Calm, ditto. There is already q
grocery expedition moving ACROSS from
Keogh, which may be there by the time
the regiment gets on the ground. Pend
ing the establishment Of . full fledged post
there must be temporary traders, and the
whole country seems to be aware of that
fact. It is q good way to settle up the
waste places.

General Ruger, who has been sent to the
Milk river country with the 18th regiment
to watch the movements of Sitting Bull and
his forces, has been officially instructed that
it is the decision of the cabinet that these
indians are now subjects Of Great Britain
and as such must be treated in case of an
invasion of the United States territory. The
secretary of state is to notify the British
government of this decision and there is a
prospect for a lively international row should
Sitting Bull carry out his threats and de-
scend upon the Missouri and Yellowstone
settlements. The ground taken in reaching
this conclusion is that Sitting Bull and his
followers voluntarily left the United States
and placed themselves under the protection of
the queen. That power is therefore to be
held responsible for their future conduct.

The st. Paul Dispatch devotes a lengthy
editorial to the subject Of ammond's oper-
atoms along the Missouri river and the fail
ure Of his much Wanted charges against
four of the best Indian agents the govern
ment ever employed. The Dispatch says
that results 80 far suggest two thoughts.
One is that Gen. Hammond is not exactly
the man for the place he holds. That he
seems to be liable to slop over occasionally,
TO be careless Is to the reputation Of the
service to which he now belongs and TO be
too much attached to the military service
. to which he formerly belonged" The other
thought which occurs to the Dispatch i.
"that the Indian bureau would gain in
