Orkney Springs,

Memphians who desire to visit some at
tractive and healthy summer resorts would
do we'll to read the card of Orkney Springs,
which are situated in Shenandoah county,
Virginia. The advertisement enumerates
some of the advantages possessed by these
springs, among others their proximity to the
famous Luray eaverns, which have attracted
80 much attention within the last year. IN
like the proprietors of some watering places,
who took no interest in the sufferings of our
people last summer except TO quarantine
against them, the proprietors and guests Of
Orkney Springs raised a considerable sum of
money and cent it to Memphis. This kind
ness should be remembered by our people,
who, in looking for a well managed and
healthful resort, will not be likely to find a
better place than Orkney Springs.

Have you ever stood in Fort a. eve,
When tie sun drops downward to the West,
When the Bugles note floats on the breeze,
Warning the soldiers, be quick and dress :;
For this, they appear, in gayest suit,
And lower their Flag to brave salute.
Oft have l thought, as that Flag was lower'd
That for a hundred years, proudly it's scared
Through the crash of wal, and calm of peace,
And never was lowered, to an encmys face.

Fort roTrEN, d. T, June 3rd, 1879.
DEAR ALERT:
There has been considerable excitement
here since my last letter to you as regards
divers rumors, Of the near approach of
hostile indians.
On Friday afternoon, word was brought
in to Mrs Mclaughlin, by an indian po
lice, that Wa pa pa, the indian who was
implicated in the murder Of some persons
At St. Joseph, and had escaped from Jail,
st Pembina, last summer, was with a fol.
lowing OF 200 braves, within Is miles of
the agency and fort 4
This information or rumor, was commu-
micated at once to Colonel Crotton, com.
manding Fort Totten; word was sent out
to the settlers on the Sheyenue River to
conc in at once, and the indian scouts
under Lieutenant Nickcrson. sent out to
see if they could get look at them.
The guard was doubled that night.
Tie newly arrived Calling gun made
ready to guard against possible attack
On Saturday the scouts brought in an
indian and a squaw, but saw nothing Of
the indians; in this condition matters have
remained. Rumors have come in that one
of the citizens living on the Sheyenne
River has been killed, but nothing positive
has been learned.
Universal care and vlgllence is being
exercised; but otherwise things move on
>s usual. The boys mourn because the
Paymaster cometh not, and Lieutenant
Nickerson's scouts have been sent to escort
him in from Larribee's. a
1t is quite possible that Wa pa pa, who
has grudge against Major Mclaughlin,
has learned that the Major is expected
from the east IN a few days, and is laying
for his scalp, with some other indians;
but that there is hostile party Of any size
We do not credit, nor does the majority at
this place.
The folks down towards the Northern
Pacific railroad reed not in our opinion,
loose q wink of sleep a: night on account
ofany possible approach of hostile indians.
The weather has been cool, with several
showers lately, and bathing in Devils Lake
has not commenced as early as usual this
year. .e., = -.
Yesterday was ration day for the indians
Of the agency, and quite number of in
dams being in, horse racing was engaged
10 by the indians. a@#
As the mail now closes, tins letter must
also close. .-.
