! spit IN my face, jumped on my body, kicked
me, plnched me, and tortured me in every
way they could. My arm was very painful
and was bleeding profusely. Fortunately,
the indian who had jumped from behind the
! tent with his tomahawk drawn gave the
women and papooses. too much time to have
their fun with me, thinking, perhaps, that
he had me sure. Suddenly heard shot, and
two squaws fell dead in the snow by
my side. One of our boys had discovered
my situation. The papooses and squaws in
stantly scampered away, but the Indian was
determined to run the risk of getting nv
scalp anyhow, and he bounced down on me
with his knees on my chest drew his knife,
ana the next second, although it seemed
hours to me, the top of my head was in his
hand and he was gone.
Imagine some one who hates you with
the utmost intensity grabbing handful of
your hair while you are lying PROSTATE and
helpless, and giving it sudden jerk upward
with force enough almost to loosen the scalp;
then, while this painful tension is not re-
laxed, imagine the not particularlv.sharp
blade OF a knife being run quickly in cir
Gle around your scalp with a saw-like mo-
tion Then let your Imagination grasp, if it
can, the effect thata strong, quick jerk on the
tuft of hair to release the scalp from an y
clinging particles that may still hold it in
place would have on your nervous and phys
ical systems, and you will have some idea
how 1T feels to be scalped- When that Indian
sawed his knife around the top of my head
first sense of cold numbness pervaded my
whole body. This was quickly followed
by flash of pain that started at my
feet and ran like an electric shock
to my BRAIN That was but momentary, but
it was terrible. When the Indian tore my
scalp from my head it seemed as if it must
have been connected with cords to every part
of my body. The pain that followed the
cutting around the scalp had been frightful,
but it was ecstasy compared with the torture
that followed the tearing of it from my head.
Streaks of pain shot to every nerve, My
knees were drawn up almost to my chin, and
my fingers closed cOnVulsively together in
the snow, and that was all | remembered.
When | came to was in tent The cavalry
had come up in the meantime, and the Indi-
ans were routed. Only q few escaped, but
Black Kettle was among them. a comrade
told me that he had shot anG killed the In
dian who sealped me, but the scalp was
not recovered, at any rate. l, with the rest
OF the wounded, was sent to the nearest
agency, and lay helpless and suffering I'M
told misery for weeks and when recovered
concluded that had seen enough of Indian
fighting, and asked for my discharge The
nature of my wounds were such that ] re-
ceived my discharge at once. General Custer
Jocularly remarked to me afterward that |
made mistake in. leaving the service.
Think said he, how surprised and disguised
some red devil of an Indian might be if you
should stay with us, and happen to fall in
his hands, when he went to raise your hair,
to find that some one had been there before
him."

A VISIT TO RHEIMS.
A City Honeycombed with Wine Cellars

Paris Morning News.
A visit to the ancient city of Rheims, so
full of historical associations, is by no means
lost time to the traveller in Europe. Its cele-
brated cathedral, and its quaint and quiet
Streets have a certain attraction in them
selves. Even the dry subject of its staple
wooden manufactures draws hfther not a few
of those who are DESTROYS of. adding to their
stock of information; but Rheims-as every
one knows or ought to KNOWS the metrop-
oils of that most festive and popular of all

large portion of the city is honeycombed
with deep, broad cellarage, similar to the
gloomy catacombs i'll Paris. and some thou
sands of the inhabitants are there buried
throughout the day, busily engaged in the
different processes necessary for the vast
champagne industry of the place.
The vintage for the good year 1883 is now

stores of liquid cheerfulness and hilarity are
rapidly pouring into the town from ali parts
of the adjacent districts, the dark complex
