THE BIG HOLE BATTLE.

Duncan Mcdonald, in the NeU North
West Of last week. gives detailed and
graphic description of the battle at Big
Hole in 1877, between the Nez Perces and
the I. S. troops, from an Indian stand.
point lie, of course. makes it appear very
barbarous and wicked to kill poor, inno-
cent l:) squ..ws and papooses. indiscr.imin-
ately, seeming to forget that these, togeth-
er with their savage and merciless hus-
bands and fathers, comprised an inscpalsl-
bic and indiscriminatc army in open hOstil-
ity to the Government and dealing death
and destruction to inoffensive citizens on
their line OF march.
We suppose General Gibbon should have
waited with his handful of men until broad
day light. then sent out Il posse OF experts
to separate the squaws from the bucks be-
tore making the attack. If squaws insist
on going on the 'war-path'' with their
belligerent husbands they must expect to
si,are with them the fortunes and misfor-
tunes of war. There is but little OBJ
portunity tor amusement or exercise OF
those humane feelings which prompt to
fine moral Determinations. during fierce
struggle OF life and death. War is cruel
and barbarous under any and all crcu,,i-
stances. and it should not be matter o:
surprise when somebody gets hurt. Had
General Gibbon wiped OUT the last YES
tige of the hostile band it would have been
a happy finale to Il fearful tragedy. We
believe. however. the officers and soldiers
generally spared the women and children
whenever it was safe to do so or when it
was sufficiently light for them to properly
discriminate. Mcdonald closes his article
with this compliment to one officer: The
officer remembered as having acted most
manly in the Big Hole fight is Captain
Browning. He stopped his soldiers from
killing two women in front of him.

THE TRUTH.
Some Anecdotes Of Distinguished Per.
sons.

St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
George Washington was one of the
few phenomenal Presidents this coun-
try has taken to its bosom, and in
view of a little tomahawk exploit Of
Georges in the early years of his
career his memory is cherry-shed in a
vague sort of way in the Sunday-schoo
books and Bourth-of July speeches of
the present time. George Washing
ton above all things loved to tell the
truth, and thus shame the rest Of the
administration. He would as soon
think Of parting with his mother-in
law as Of deviating from the strict
line OF yeracity Gan expression, by the
way, which is poetical if it is not
wholly new, and therefore it is to be
wondered at that he is called the father
Of a country which mentions Eli
Perkins and Jim Anderson in the
one breath, and which can stand
such a vast amount of contra
dictory a%sseverations in regard
to those cipher valentines. 1t strikes
us that if q. w. is the father of this
country, the father ofl-rs, which he
has been called from time immemorial
until this recent innovation, has to
share the throne or else step down and
out. One day shortly after George
Washington went into the White
House he awoke early in the morning
and found about six inches of snow in
the front yard. There were few of
the modern appliances to be had in
those days, and the best thing around
the Executive Mansion in the shape
of a snow.shOYel was a single which
Mrs. Washington used for emptying
the ashes out of the stove. George
knew this, and accordingly hurried
into his clothes and was starting for
the corner saloon when Mrs. w.
swOOped down on him as he was
crawling out through the kitchen win
dow.
4" George w, why, where in the
world are you going?'
To say that George was astonished
is almost useless. He came back out
of the window and answered assuag-
ingly;
it?"
T" Yes, that me. And YOU thought
you were going to skin out and leave
mo to shovel off that snow. l KIN
you"
Upon my word, | was only GO
down to Aleck HamiIton's for
hour or two, darling, to draw up /,
skeleton of a temperance bill we want
introduced into congress this week. "
Now, George, amt you given me
that kind of a gag before? ?"
Never, my dear"
What! Never"
Well my dear, hardly %cvcr-that
it took"
And George peeled off his coat and
went after the single, and in two
hours and a half he had the yard and
front walk all clear and was complain
ing Of a fearful pain in his back.

reported at about $4,000. 1t has
been deemed best, in view of all the

after which motions will be made
through the proper process to have
the funds turned back again. The
proceedings as yet are all merely in
embryo. If the present generation
soes the end ofthis they will be lucky.
1t is hiutod that adviccs have

to the effect that Chief Justice Swayne
Of the Supreme Court has been ap-

that he has siguifed his willingness to

Yesterday afternoon as the sun was
sinking to his bed out in the buffalo
country a man with a comforter tied
around his waist and his pants tucked
into his boot-legs emerged from JUS
tice alley with such a thunder-cloud
on his brow as would have made his
fortune had he been in the lightning
rod business. He stood on the walk
and looked up and down, and a horse
tied to a post near by backed away as
far as ne could and looked as innocent
as possible. A big policeman saun-
tered that way, and he was not afraid
of the big red comforteran the frown-
ing man,
Anything up?" boldly inquired
the officer.
The man made an effort to reply,
but his words choked him. -

MEMPEIs TEEATER.-The Viii
helmj concert last night was a delight
full uccess in an artistic sense. The
audience was large and appreciative.
The majority Of our music flowing cit
liens filed the lower part Of the house
while some two hundred occupied the
second tier. There were a few dis
posed TO grumble a little at the absence
OF a promised Songstress named Miss
James, who is described as a person
with a fairly trained voice possessing
both strength and sympathy, and cap
able of rendering such selections al
Eekert's echo song, Wallace's Good
Night and the like, with expression
and accent. The lady's name had
been announced through the press
and on the public posters, but it did
not appear on the evenings pro-
gramme. Our people are somewhat
used to such elimiHations and being so,
were as much cOntentcd as possible,
even though they weress favored with
all Wilhelmj and Carreno, either
alternately or both at once.
There is no installing the fact, how
ever, that Wilhelmj is a great artist.
His performances on the violin are
wonderful, and he interprets the works
of the most accomplished masters
with a skill and grandeur that ut once
carries his listeners and places him as
the equal of Ole Bull and Woiniawski,
whom we have heard here within a
few years, and memories of whom he
recalled, He also performs the com
positions Of Vieuxtemps and Paginini
with as much ease, grace and artistic
ability as those renowned men of ge-
MUS are reputed to have done. From
the time he appeared on the stage to
the close Of each selection he com
manded the strictest attention. He
performed without a~ffectation and
bore himself with becoming dignity,
mastering the greatest difficulties
without an effort. Indeed many pro-
nounced his execution marvellous, and
called him q wizard of the violin, and
his claim that he is the leading violin
list of the world is indorsed by scien-
tifc as well as simply cultured must
clans. He was forced to play an
encore at the close of each selection,
and all were performed as if the artist
was inspired. He deals with severely
classical compositions with a power
that stamps him unriyaled as a violin
ist.
The temperance of the handsome,
black-eyed, oliye-hued Teresa Carreno
was the signal for a round of applause,
and merited welcomed to one whoranks
so high in musical art. Besides assist
ing the virtuoso, she rendered several
beautiful solos in the most exquisite
manner. Madame Carrcno performs
on the piano with a delicate and
graceful touch, yet with full, clear
tone. She gives color and good ex-
preston to all of her efforts. Like
Wilhelmi, each selection she rem
dered was earnestly encorcd, and the
lady cleycrly responded with amiable
temper. The last time Carreno visited
us was with DcMurska, Bragg and
Sauret, the latter being her husband.
SO accomplished and thorough a plan
list is always a welcome visitor.
A matinee performance for to-day
was announced from the stage last
night. The party go to Nashville from
here.
