day, all the long night, and the next day.
What hope Of succor in that savage wild
erness? With many ruse Of raising his
cap above the sacks Of grain, he managed
to draw the enemy's fire. At length a
horrid wound was made by bullet that,
entering one eye, crushed the frontal bones
of the face and soon made him stone blind.
Wounded now in various parts, bleeding
profusely, hoping against hope, ammuni-
ton all gone, blind as mole, it is won
der that he strove to live longer. But life
was still sweet, and for twelve hours longer
he kept the governments dusky wards at
bay. Shielding his poor body behind the
grain, he poked the muzzle Of his rifle out
at first one place and then another, making
believe he was trying to draw bead on
the skulking braves. At length the troops
came in sight, and the Indians retired from
the glorious encounter. This young fellow
was removed to Rawlins, on the n. p. r.
R., along with our wounded soldiers; and
here under the care of the army surgeon,
his cheerfulness won the admiration OF all.
When the surgeon removed the broken
bones from the facial wound, there was no
complaint. The surgeon said his chances
for death or recovery were about equal.
Aside from this wonderful endurance and
bravery, the boy showed q rare thought
fulness for his parents, who were residing
in Denver, but did not know of his where
abouts at that time. Said he: 81 don't

CULLOM'S ADMINISTRATION.
Springfield Post


The Peoria Journal makes haste to say
that the state has been more prosperous
under Cullom than any other governor
she has had for twenty years. 1t further
more says there has been no fraud or
corruption under his administration.
How comes it that the Journal is so well
postcdi What was the matter with
Oglesby's, Palmers and Beveridge's adj
ministrstion that the palm should be
given to CullomS 1t is fact that Cul-
lum is under more suspicion of being
crooked than any other governor we have
mad since the days of Matteson. His most
intimate counsellors and advisors are
among the most crookedness running back
for years. He does not 60 straight into
dirty work himself. Nobody accuses him
of that, but it is we'll understood that he
has several mills grinding, and he so dis
poses of his powers and opportunities as to
serve himself and frequently much to the
detriment of the public service.

relates thrilling incident Of the slate un-

conspicuous part on the one side, while Gen.
Hancock was on the other. AT the taking
of Fort Harrison in 1864,
Stewart was stationed at point in

ly witness the movements OF the federals, and
especially the actions of Gen. Hancock,
who was gallantly leading bis men to VIC

seen as he rode up and down the line Civ
ing orders to his men, as he had done on
many an occasion before. Stewards eye
was kept on the general until he
approached within distance of 800 yards
of where Stewart was stationed, when it
occurred to the latter that no better time
would be presented to cripple an
army on the nelu. Dy emp-tylng

the officer was at the time, he fred From
the point where he was thus stationed he
fired fourteen successive shots at the distin :

effect. Stewart says he continued to fire
until his ammunition gave out, and that
when his gun was discharged the last time
the general was not over fifty yards from
him. He was, after the capture, informed
who it was he had but short time before
made a target of.

CENSUS OF THE INDIANS.
THE WORK TO BE UNDER THE CONTROL OF
MAJOR POWELL.

THE WORK TO BE UNDER The CONIkoL OF
MAJOR POWELL.
A special dispatch from Washington
says: General Walker has placed the task
Of attempting to procure full census statis-
tics of Indians not taxed to Major Powell
and his assistants, who are working under
the Smithsonian institution. Colonel Ger
rick Mallery, of the army, is now engaged
in preparing special set of schedules for
recording Indian statistics. These will
embrace heads calculated to set out all ma
terial facts of the Indian situation, and the
condition of each tribe. Colonel Nal
lery has made close study
of the American Indians, and is we'll fitted
o prepare schedules which shall cover all
he more prominent features of Indian life,
and bring out many points in the line of
his researches which will be both new and
interesting.
This is an important matter in many res
poets. Hitherto all estimates for the pur-
chase Of Indian supplies have been based
upon the supposed number of Indians in
each tribe, but there is ground TOR the be-
lief that the number has been vastly over
statsd in respect Of many tribes, and that
large sums have been wasted in conse-
quence.

it set up and ready to 60 he was perplexed
to find he had one wheel lett, and glancing
back to see whether that fact was noticed

same difficulty" he continued, "and the
only way is to leave the extra wheels out"
This was an astounding proposition to the
owner of the clock, and beyond compre-
hension. But what could she say against
it? Her clock would not go before, and
now it did. So he received his dollar and
departed. He had not got off the square,
however, before she noticed her clock be-
gan to have sickly tick, and showed I'M
mistskable signs of its old habits, and by
the time he was fairly out of sight it had
again come to stand-still, and she has not
seen anything of the traveller since, nor
told her husband where that wheel came
from.

This mammoth side-wheel steamer IL
now at the shops of Messrs. Neafs 1
Levy, Ksnsipgton, Philadelphia, receiv-
ing service condsnsers. Hitherto she
has had but jet condensers, hence they
have been obliged to use the salt water
in the boilers for generating steam be-
tween Philadelphia and Cape May. 1t
is said that the waters Of The Atlantic
yield eight ounces Of salt to the gallon;
in the Gulf stream ten ounces to the
gallon, and ia the Irish Channel as high
as fifteen ounces Of salt to every gallon
of water.
1t Is therefore easy to perceive that
the waters OF Delaware bay must be
quite injurious to steamboat boilers, il
used in making steam, independent OF
the frequency of muddy water 80 often
encountered IN the river and bay. With
the service condensers the Republic
will return from Cape May with the
same water supply in her boilers with
which she left in the morning.
These service condenssrs are expen-
sivs, requiring experience and care to
keep in order, but magnificent boat,
such as the Republic may not afford to
dispsnse with them in these days of i'm
proyOment.

The meeting at the Reformed Episco-
pal Church of the Covenant last even

al exercises Rev. Adam Stsngle, pastor
Of Onion M. E. Church. delivered a
short address, when he showed the
manner in which institutions for ths
detection, prosecution and punishment
OF cr!ms are effected by temperance.
Mr.. Murphey spoke for some time up
on temperance, and said he was encour-
aged to engage In the work because
ministers and others took apart. To
prevent intemperanoe people should be
educated up to q standard when intern
psranoe would not be tolerated. We
cannot show too much love. kindness
or mercy to the drunkard, nav wa
should DO all that is possible to save
MIN. When man first commenced to
drink liquor he did not intend it to
have the ascendency over him ali tho
time. People who are in the habit of
placing liquor on their tables TO be
fashionable should be ashamed of
themselves and reform in this RESPECT
Is absolutely necessary. A number of
persons signed the pledge. Rev. J. L.
Estlin dismissed the congregation.
Meetings will be held each evening
during the week and the seats in the
centre of the church will bs reserved
for ladies.
