An army officer who recently arrived
10 Chicago from the Yellowstone valley,
tells story OF what happened to herd
OF builaloes as they were migrating south

and had been driven out Of The MIX river
country by the Indian hunters belonging
to Sitting Bulls baud When they reach
ed the river they ventured on the Ice with
customary confidence, coming upon II
with solid front, and beginning the
crossing with closed ranks. The stream
at this point was very deep. When the
front line, which was stretched out a
quarter OF a mile In length, bad nearly
gained the opposite shore, the ice sudden
ly gave way under them. Some trappers
who we're eye witnesses Of the scene said
II seemed as II trench had been opened
10 the ice the whole length OF the column.
Some four or five hundred animals tum.

Others fell in on top Of them and sank

too powerful to be suppressed by ths ordi.
nary course of judicial proceedings, or by
the dowers vested in the marshals by this
act, the same being notified to the Prcsi.
dent of the United States by an Associate
Justice or the District Judge. it shall be
lawful for the President to call forth the
militia of such State to suppress such com.
binations aud to cause the laws to be exc
cuted."
The act of 1895 rc.cnacted that of 1892,
and for the first time denied the condition
upon which force could be used by the Ex.
ecutive in these words:
"And in case of an insurrection in any
State against the Government thereof, it
shall be lawful for tho President of the
United States, on application Of the Legis.
lature of such State, or of the Executive
(when the Legislature cannot be convened,
to call forth such number of the militia of
any State or States. as may be applied for,
as he may judge sufficient to suppress such
insurrection."
Then followed tho act of 1907, which
declared that Instead of the militia, "it shall
be lawful for the President to employ, for
the same purposes, such part of the land or
naval force of the United States as shall be
Judged necessary, having first obserucd all
The prerequisites Of The la,o IN this respcct."
That is to say, having first received call
from the Governor or the Legislature.
by these acts the President was not per.
mitted to enter State with the militia or
the regular land or naval forces, to suppress
insurrection, or to execute any law, without
first having the request and consent of the
Legislature or Governor. The lines between
the State and national powor were thus dis.
tinctly defined aud preserved; whereas, un
der the partisan act of 1865, for the first
time in our history, aud against oil tho
traditions oil freedom, tho Executive may
in advance of an election, quarter an army
in this or any other city, and, under protence
of preserving peace at the polls, may contro
the ballot box absolutely. Yet Mr.. Couk.
ling, Mr.. Edmunds, and their creature, Mr.
Hayes, arc bold enough to say that these
old acts and the bayonct law are similar

THE BIvoUAc OF THE DEAD.

The muffied drums sad roll has beat
The soldiers last tattoo;
No more on life's parade shall meet
That brave and fallen few.
On Fame's eternal camping-ground
Their silent tents are spread.
And Glory guards, with solemn round,
The bivouac of the dead.
No rumor of the foes advance
Now swells upon the wind:
No troubled thought at midnight haunts
or loved ones left behind
No vision Of the morrow's strife
The warriors dream alarms;
No braying horn, or screaming fife,
At dawn shall call to arms.
Their shivered swords are red with rust,
Their plumed heads are bowed,
Their naughty banner, trailed In dust, ,y
Is now their martial shroud;
And plenteous funeral tears have washed
The red stains from each brow,
And the proud forms, by battle gashed,
Are free from anguish now.
The neighing troop, the flashing blade,
The bugle's stirring blast,
The charge, the dreadful cnnnonade,
The din and shout are past
Nor wars wild note, nor glory's peal,
Shall thrill with ferece delight
Those breasts that never more may feel
The rapture of the fight.
Like the fierce northern hurricane
That sweeps his great plateau,
Flushed with the triumph yet to gain,
Came down the serried foe;
Who heard the thunder Of the fray
Break O. er the field beneath,
Knew we'll the watchword of that day
Was Victory or Death
Full many a northers breath has swept
Ger Angostura's plain,
And long the plying sky has wept
Above its mouldered slain.
The ravens scream, or eagles fight,
Or shepherds pensive lay,
Alone now wake each solemn height
That frowned Ger that dread fray.
Son. of the Dark and Bloody Ground!
Yc must not slumber there,
Where stranger steps and tongues resound
Along the needless air.
Your own proud lands heroic soil,
Shall be your filter grave;
She claims from war its richest spoil
The ashes Of her brave.
Thus, meath their parent turf they rest,
Far from the CORY field;
Borne to o Spartan mothers breast
On many n bloody shield.
The sunshine Of their native sky
Smiles sadly on them here,
And kindred eyes and hearts watch by
The heroes sepulchre.
Rest on, embalmed and saintcd dcad,
Dear as the blood ye gave.
No impous foot-step here shall tread
The herbage of your grave;
Nor shall your glory be forgot
Whilo Fame her record keeps,
Or Honor points the hallowed spot
Where Valor proudly sleeps.
Yon marble minstrcls voiccless stone
In deathless song shall tell,
When many vanished year hath flown,
The story how ye fell.
Nor wrek, nor change, nor winters blight,
Nor Times remorseless doom,
Can dim one ray Of holy light
That gilds your glorious tomb.

HAYEs's FALSE PRETENcEs.-Mr
Conkling and Mr.. Edmunds both quote the
acts Of 1872, 1895, and 1907, and Mr..
Hays repeats the assertion, alleging that
they rest upon the same foundation as the
act of FEBRUARY, 1865, which authorizes the
use Of the army at elections, at the discre-
tion of the Executive.
Nothing could be further from the truth
than this allegation is. Here is the pro-
vision of the act Of 1902:

shall be opposed, or the execution thereof

An Extraordinary but well-authenticated
fish story comes from Memphis. A gentle
man in that city, who has small pend
stocked with fish, has recently noticed a
mysterious disappearance of some of his
finest specimens. At last he and several
friends sat up one night to watch. About
10 o'clock they saw tho house cat steal to
tho edge Of the pond and scratch in the
ground until she caught a worm. She then
came to the waters edge. and holding the
worm in one paw dabblcd in the water with
it. The fish were soon attracted to the spot,
and rising to secure the bait they we're

STRANGE PLACE FOR A BIRD's NEST.
An English paper gives an account of a
pair of birds-Pied Wagtails-that last
year built their nest on the under side of q
railroad car. This car made four short
trips and returned each day, yet the birds
not only built their nest, but hatched their
young. The account states that if tho car
went off while both old birds were out hunt
ing for food, they did not seem to mind it,
but they would perch on the telegraph wires
with the food in their beaks, and wait pa.
tientiy until their travelling nest came back
The birds seemed to like the arrangement
so well, that they came back to the same
place this year, built another nest, and
eggs were laid in it.

OLD BLUMMER's BUTToNs.-Old Blum.
mer is tight-6stcd Several days ago he
said to his wife, 'Maria, want you to look
over that broadcloth vest of mine and put
new buttons on it, cause I'm going to a
card-party tonight"
"But, Ely" answered Mrs. B., 81 hay
en't any buttons to match that vest. and"
"Thunder ~ broke in Blummer, "the idea
of woman keeping house as long as you
have, an prctendin' to be out of buttons.
BY George 1 believe you'll ask me for
money to buy 'em with next"
That evening old Blummer hurried
through his supper and began arraying
himself for the card. d.party. Presently he
called for the broadcloth vest, and Mrs. B.,
with marvellous promptitude, handed it to
him. He took it, hastily unfolded it, and
then, as his eyes took in its complete ap-
pcarance, he stood as one transfxed. 1t
was six-button vest, and there were six
buttons on it, and the dazed optic of Blum
mer observed that the first, or top one, was
a tiny pearl shirt.button, and that the next
one was brass army.overcoat button. with
U. s. cleaning upon it, and that number
three was an oxydized silver affair, and
that number four was a horn button, evi-
dently from the back of one of the Puritan
fathers coats and then came suspender
button, and then, as the dazzling eye of
old Blummer reached the bottom button
poker chip, found in Blummer's pocket,
with two holes punched through it-he
gave snort that made the chandelier lin.
gle. There is, after ALL fine sense of hu.
NOR about Blummer, and he laughed till
he cried. And there won't be any button
money grudged in that house hereafter.
