that the flesh might be taken out with
his hands, in the absence of his knife.
Tired out, as quickly as his appetite
was appeased, he lay down by the side
Of the carcass to gather little warmth
and rest. Scarcely had his eyelids
dropped when six Indians came riding
along in full war point, and well arm
ed. Mac lay very quiet until the last
one came very close. The horse must
have been suspicious az he shied of.
The Indian evidently mistrusted some
thing as he forced the animal toward
the dead buffalo. Curley at once arose
and turned loose with his Winchester,
killing the Indian and horse, and send
ing the remaining five flying for their
lives. This occurred on the headwa-
tiers Of Little Big Horn. He at once
struck out for the Yellowstone, reach

Of eighty miles.
After Il brief rest, he pulled the bark
from several cottonwood trees, twisted
the bark into rope, gathered lot Of
drift wood tied il together, and on the
improvised raft, started down the rap
idly running stream, which in places,
almost amounted To n torrent. After a
forty mile ride, his raft drifted into a
slough or bayou. He succeeded i'm get

MeCOLE'S ADVENTURE.
"Curley's" Dangerous trip During the
Indian Wars.

a correspondent writing to the Butte
Infer-Woaatiins Freeman, from
Woodville, has the following in regard
10 the famous scout, Barney McCole:
"We met, few days since, with a
pleasant, genial old comrade, of the
frontier, Barney \. McCole, better
known ~ 'Curlcy," or "AIac the scout
Barney came from Wilksbarre, Pa, IA
years ago. He is but 80 years of age,
and weighs l70 pounds. During the
past few months he has taken in nearly
every town and city in Montana.
| remember him as one of those
brave men who held his life at naught
during our recent Indian troubles.
Brave unto rashness, and one of the
most daring men in the land. Athlct-
ic, quick, active i'm limb, solid brain
and shure shot. "Curley" made
himself known on the frontier years
ago. and when the Indian war broke
out, he was one of the first to take up
arms in defense of the pioneers. His
unerring aim has made many 'good

astonishing and wonderful.
l remember distinctly how he made
one particular trip just after the Custer
massacre, N trip fraught with danger
by flood and fire. Heleft Gen. Crooks
camp on Goose Creek, with dispatches
for Gen. Terry. Seventy miles from
Crooks camp, during severe storm,
and while Curley was giving himself
and horse an hours rest the animal,
frightened at thunder and lightning,
stampeded. He still had two hundred
miles 90 go and struck out ON foot with
only his gun and ammunition, even
his heath knife having been lost. His
thorough knowledge Of the mountains
and prairie, and his indomitable cour-
are carried him through. So desper-
ate trip Is hardly ever made by even
the hardest men. Aftera twenty-five
mile tramp, he encountered buffalo
hull just mt the close Of day. Hungry
aud tired, he killed the animal, and
then rut a dozen shots int6 the carcass,
every shot very close to the other, %

The area Of the United is 3,O34,3T
square miles, and of this number Texas
has 274 ,356 square miles, or a little over
One-eleventh of the whole. The largest
countries in Europe, not, counting Rus
STA which is both in Europe and Asia,
are the Austrian Empire containing
240,943 square miles, the German En-
pire containing 212,091 square miles,
and France containing 2O4,O91 square
miles. AS the State of Texas is there
fore larger than the largest of them,
this comparison will give good idea of
the enormous extent of the territory of
the United States, which all lies togeth-
er in one body. In few years the
United States government will have
the largest population in the world, ali

Carrying Their Husbands Oh
Their Backs.

At one time the duke Of Bavonia was
beseiged in his castle and was COM
PEELED to surrender. His lady demand.
ed for herself and the other ladies OF
the castle that they be permitted to go
out in safety with all they could carry
on their backs. This was granted, and,
to the surprise of all, the ladies appear
ed carrying their husbands on their
backs, and for their devotion the EN-
peror pardoned them all and set them
at liberty. There are many women
who by their industry and economy, to
the shame of the able-bodied men, be
it said, are carrying their husbands and
their whole households, either by earn
ing all the money themselves or by
economizing with the little that comes
into their fingers, while the husband
squanders the earnings in dissolute
and voluptuous life.

A Presbyterian's Idea OF He'll
PHILADELPHIA Record. |

Rev. j. NJ. P. Otis, of the Chambers
Presbyterian Church, delivered a ser
mon on heaven and hell at Broad
Street Tabernacle Church recent y.
He made the point that heaven Is not
place to which good people &c, When
they die, but a state into winch they
enter while they live; and hell a condl-
ton of misery into which SIN pluhges
people in this life. He said that every
man is now rising to be an anger or
sinking to be a devil, and that those
who are driven away into outer dark
ness are driven away by the inner
darkness in their own lives. On the
last great day the separation will be
made by natural selection.

A Fishing arty.

A party of our business men who
go about enjoyment as they are wont
in business affairs-in kind OF whole
sale style, made their arrangements and
started out on Sunday last for the
classic Teche on the banks of which
they were to pitch their tent for the
days festivities. Having provided
themselves literally with choice wines
and eatables they of course expected
to have royal time of it, aside from
results which the dragging of first
class sein might develop. AS, IN the
person of Mr.. Antoine Devilliers they
were supplied with an agreeable and
wide-awake guide, they had lively
time on the way and safely reached
the bayou where they were joined by
Mr.. n. Devilliers, who assisted them in
making landing at or near Mr.. Will
liam Johnson's and in the discovery Of
what we might term the Eureka
Springs" one of which was in a man
ner turned to wine by the number OF
bottles therein deposited. Afteralight-
ing and Infringing i'm a double knot on
their horses the party organized and
were present: Messrs. P. J. Lefebvre.
C. Mayo, C. Mornhinves, NJ. Vilaseca,
F. Bolland, A. Devilliers and N. De-
villiers ably assisted by two white boys
and couple of double-jointed darkies.
SO far everything being done up in
style, they proceeded to- an election
which resulted in the choice OF Mr..
Nj. Vilaseca as chef de cuisine assisted
C. Mayo, Esq, who as an ex-compounder
of medicine, fixed up the drinks,-of
which the party got only moderate
dose. To the others was assigned the
task of gathering, watching and dis
patching the fish per courier as the
we'll grogged darkies drew them to the
bank with sein. Before they had got
ten fairly to work, however, they were
reinforced by couple Of the "Gessel-
chaft's" members who on account of
the revenge dealt out by brother S. who
was accidentally inquired Of for suitable
crossing, got into mudhole and came
very near failing to reach the other
shore of the bayou. At any rate when
Mac and Arthur arrived, We're brushed
off and put in harness, we are told
that they worked "like charm," and
made up for lost time caused by acct
dental delay. While this was going on,
Mr.. NJ. Vilaseca and his ingenious as
sistant had the woods smoking and the
air filled with delicious odors arising
from their highly seasoned stew,
bake and bisque. After several hours
of pleasant recreation, seining for a
part OF the "fnny tribe" passing jokes,
ETC., the party returned to camp and
made preparation for the sumptuous
feast already served and Of which they
not only heartily partook, but the assis-
tant cook got lively dose, causing him
to drop most of his wit and rhyme along
their homeward journey. Everything
passed off finely and the gay party
reached town fright side up with care, Il
with one exception, namely: minus a
pair of spectacles, a pocket knife and
ii shing pole, for the return of which
a liberal reward will be paid and no
questions asked.

The colored excursion which was to
have started from Washington on
Saturday last, did not go from that
point, but left Vermillionville, ignoring
the colored people in these parts. We
learn that the cause of it was that
Rev, Brooks who was in charge made
agents of a couple Of our local colored
nreaehers who thought the money had
hest stay where it was. We learn that
;pstead of canvassing in its interest,
thew went to work in getting up one Of
