Special Correspondence National Tribune.
NEW YORK, Nov. 6th.-Thc Council of Ad-
ministration, at meeting held at headquarters
in this city on Friday afternoon last. has de-
cded to hold the next annual State Encamp-
ment in the city of Troy, to take place
on January Gath and 25th. 1888 Several pr0mi-
nent comrades are already named for Depart
ment Commander. but matters have not as yet
assumed any such shape iustifying me in men
tioning names. After the Post elections of
next month, matters of interest to the State
Encampment will become quite lively. The
excellent discipline maintained by Commander
James S. Fraser, in the Department of New York,
is daily receiving universal commentator. 1t
appears that one of the Posts in the western part
of the State, during the present political canvass
turned its regular Encampment into a com
plete political ratification meeting for the pur-
pose of endorsing the nomination of proni-
nent candidate on the State ticket. More than
this, they actually used the letter-headings of
the Post, with the c. 4. r. badge prominently
displayed, and used circulars signed by the
Post Commander and other officers. urging all
comrades throughout the State to vote for the
fayorite candidate. The matter was brought
to the attention of the Council Of Adminstra-
ton, and that body unanimously resolved to
revoke the charter of the offending Post subject,
however, to the action of the State Encampment,
whenit meets in January. This being the eve of
election in our State, the G. A. L. boys have
of late not held many meetings, reserving their

and enterprising work set on foot by the So
called veteran committee, charged with enfor-
cling the statutes regarding the appointment of
veterans to the civil service.

CANIsTEO, n. y, Oct. 3l.-A Campfire and
Reunion under the auspices of Abram Allen
Post, No 19i, Department of New York, G. A.
r., headquarters at Cansteo, Stcuben county,
was held at Carriers grove on Friday, October
p, 1882. The day was all that could be desired
in regard to the weather. At ono o'clock the
Post and invited vets assembled at their Post
rooms, and, headed by the drum corps marched
under the command Of Post Commander Har-
rison Crane to the grove when the guards were
placed on their beats, and the boys entered into
camp in the true old style About forty tents
were pitched, including the one for the old
camp follower-the suffer. This position was
taken by Comrade Wigg, and was done to the
life. At three o'clock came company drill. About
this time a comrade was detected stealing ap-
pies with ramrod from the suffer- was ar
rested, court-martialed, and sentenced to be
marched about tho camp to the tune of the
roguos march. At five came dress parade,
which was well done and reflected credit on
all. Six o'clock we fell in for the usual rations
and they were enjoyed in the old-timo style.
At seven o'clock we were surprised by the Can
istco cOrnet band, who discourscd some fine
music. Colonel \. Z. Baxter, of EImira, being
present, was called for and gave US a splendid
talk of army times. COmrado Crosby then sang
tho Monitor and Mcrrimac" He was followed
by Comrade J. c. Harrington, who gave " Sheri-
dams Ride" Soon after commoton was heard
at the suffers tent and in the twinking of an
eye the sutler was cleaned out There had been
AFRAID. Tents were then struck, and camp broken
up. The success ofthe day was, in manner, due
to the untiring efforts OF the committee Of ar
engagements, Comrades Jayncs, swezy, Wigg,
Helms, and Post Commander Crane.

Is very great error, Again We refer
TO the statistics Of tho London small

vacclnOtcd Is IN proportion to the
thorouglncss aud efficiency Of vaccina-

were visible /, 2, 8 or 4 good vaccine
sears, or that scars were not visible or
imperfect. II the vaccine virus Is not
good or sufficiently active it may set up
q low grade Of inflammation, enough to
deceive the patient but not the doctor.
Hence the vaccination should be per-
formed with pure animal virus, 1t
should be performed by II competent
physician, aud should if possible be
under his observation during the whole

IngersolI's ElOquence.
NIEi,Icus.

Col. Robert G.. Ingersolf spoke rs
follows at n little boys grave in Wash
ington recently:
Ny FRIENDS IL know how vain it
is to guild n grief with words, and yet
] wish to take from every grave its
fear. Here in this world, where life
and death are equal kings, all should
be brave enough to meet where all the
dead have met. The future has been
filed with fear, stained and polluted by
the hearlcss past. From the wonder
ous tree of life the buds and blossoms
fall with ripened fruit, and in the COM
mon bed Of earth the patriarchs and
babes sleep side by side.
Why should we fear that which will
come to all that is! We cannot tell,
we do not know, which is the greater
blessing-lilc or death. We cannot
say that death is not good. We do
not know whether the grave is the end
of this life, or the door of another, or
whether the night here is not some
where else dawn. Neither can we
tell which is the more fortunate-the
child dying in its mothers arms, be-
fore its lips have learned to torn n
word, or he who journeys all the
length of life's uneven road, painfully
taking the last slow steps with staff
and crutch.
Every cradle asks us "Whence?"
every coffin "Whither!" The poor
barbarian, weeping above his dead,
can answer these questions as intelli-
gently and satisfactorily as the robed
priest of the most authentic crecd.-
The fearful ignorance Of the one is just
as consoling as the learned and un.
meaning words of the other. No man,
standing where the horizon Of a life
has touched grave has any right to
prophesy future filled with pain and
tears. 1t may be that death gives all
there is of worth to life. If those we
press and strain against our hearts
could never die, perhaps that love
would wither from the earth. May be
this common fate treads from out the
paths between our hearts the weeds of
selfshness and hate, and 1 had rather
live and love where death is king than
have etenal life where love is not. An
other life is naught unless we know and
love again the ones who love us here.
They who stand with breaking hearts
around this little grave, need have no
fear. The larger and the nobler faith
in all that is and isssto be, tells us
that death, even at its worst, is only
perfect rest. We know that through
the common wants of life-the needs
and duties of each hour-their grief
will lessen day by day, until at last this
grave will be to them place of rest
and peace-almost of joy. There is
for them this consolation The dead
do not suffer. If they live again, their
lives will surely be as good as ours.-
We have no fear. We are all children
of the same mother, and the same fate
awaits us all. We, too, have our
religion, and it is this: Help for the
living-Hope for the dead.

A PERlL0US SITUATION;
Az ADVENTURE n THE BLACK HILLS

A new territory infested by Indians
and filling up rapidly with adventures
in quest of gold, will always be the
theatre of thrilling events. Such 4
region was the Black Hills in 1879
ca.
Many II night has the writer sat il
light of n campfire in those days ant
listened to tales related, with all the
hard, graphic carncstness OF truth, by
men who needed not to embelish thcil
narratives to render them stranger thar
the most sensational fiction.
These rough narrators, indeed woul(
have scorncd to cmbclish. The mos
of their adventures were not romantic
Commonly they were stern realities
difficulties to be met and overcome
perils often from which men are only
too glad to escape with their lives
Such an one was the following incident
which occurred in the experience of q
friend of the writer during the season o.
1875.
Along with many others jaime:
Bentley went to the Black Hills as soon
after the Custer expedition as possible
hoping to gather II goodly portion of the
coveted "yellow dust" reported to be
lying loose at the bottom of all tho
streams there.
With five or six other gold-hunters,
Bently succeeded in avoiding tho gov
ernmcnt troops-thcn vuinly trying tc
guard the tcrritory-and arrived ol
French creek, near the present site O
Custer City, early in the spring of the
year above mentioned.
Provided with mining pans, he and
his companions at once tested the sol
along the stream. There seemed tt
be gold everywhere. In every pan O
dirt they washed few bright particles
were found, yet not enough in quantit,
to make it profitable to spend time in
getting it.
They next tried the rocker" bu
could not make more than day wages
"Sluicing' was next attempted, but tho
water supply proved inadequate.
They were satisfied, however, tha
the claims which they had located
along this stream were valuable, ant
that reservoir or dam might be bull
which would give sufficient amount o
water.
Concluding, therefore, to hold theil
claims till the resources of the country
were better developed, they built /
cabin and determined to seek for gold
elsewhere in the Hills, leaving one o
their party to take care of the cabil
and the claims,
James was the first to whose lot il
fell to guard the cabin. There were a
few miners left above and below him
but most of those who had gathered
there had left, so that the position o
the solitary guardian was not only
lonely but dangerous one. The In
dians at this time We're feeling exceed,
ingly aggrieved, not without reason,
since the invasion Of their territory was
plainly contrary to the treaty which ou1
government had made with them.
Rumors had been rife all the spring
that war parties were prowling at OIL
the hills watching for chance to picl
off stray miners. That these report:
were true was pretty well demonstrates
by the fact that numbers of miners whit
had ventured out prospecting" alone
had never returned. Several, indeed
had been found dead and scalped.
Bentley was a brave fellow, but HI
naturally felt somewhat nervous during
the first few days of his solitary vigi
at the cabin, BY the end ofa weel

While Barrett's circus train was

gan to fight in their cage, which was on
a fit about the middle of the train. In
their struggles they upset the cage and
knocked out the wooden side, but the
heavy iron bars remained intact and
prevented them escaping. The deep
roars and fierce growls of the madden
ed beasts were frightful to hear. and
the way the crowd turned tail and fled

the lions had to subdue them ty throw

A DUEL IN THE DARK.
How a Ventriloquist's Art Ser
we'd Him in a Crisis.


A letter from Carrizo Pass, Texas,
gives an account of a hostile meeting
between two miners in the Pecos min
ing Company's camp, twenty miles
north of e-Mexican border, last Mon.
day night. The duelists were George
Hollenbeck and VIM. Stratton, both
New YDrkerS, born and raised nea +
Palmyra. They were Of rich descent
of the early Ho flanders. They were
educated at Cambridge. Tie former
graduated as lawyer and the latter as
a physician. While at Palmyra they
quarreled, but friends prevented blood
she'd, A few days ago they met in the
Pecos Mining camp and recognized
each other. The scho u and social pol
ish had been rubbed off by the trials
and hardships incident to life in the
mining camps. Hollenbeck was over
j>yed to meet Strattop, who. repealed
him and said they would settle that lit
tie unfinished difficulty which arose be-
tween them at their last meeting. Hol-
lenbech said he. had forgotten all about
the difficulty referred to and entertain
ed no ill-feelings whatever against him.
StrattOn insisted on settlement accor-
ding to the code. nOllenbeck said that
if nothing short of that would do he
would accommodate him.
Accordingly arrangements were con-
summated for duel. They were to
aght with pistols in thedark. Each was
to announce ready, after which third
party was to count three, when they
were to fire. The room was as dark as
Egypt. They went into it and an
nounced ready from opposite corners,
Zone, two, three" and Stratton fired.
Stratton fired q second shot, but the on
ly response from Hollenbeck was a
groan. The report Of pistol came
from a corner directly opposite from
where the .groan appeared TO proceed
from and Stratton fell. No more shots
being exchanged the miners opened the
room and entered. A light revealed
the fact that Stratton had been killed,
while Hollenbeck was unhurt. HollenS
beck is ventriiCquist and on entering
the room took his stand in a diagonal
corner from his adversary and, to make
him believe he was in the opposite cor
ner, threw his voice in that quarter Of
the room, where the bullets from his
adversary's pistol harmlessly buried
themselves in the wall. 1t had been sc
long since they had seen each other
that HoIlenbeck's ventriloquism haG
entirely escaped the memory of Stratton
