The two years allotted to Kate res

of delight to us. Before half the period
had gone by had asked my cousin to
become my wife, and she had consent
ed with certain reservations. The event
occurred on the anniversary of her
seventeenth birthday. She was idling
at the piano, striking brilliant chords
at random, when l opened my heart
to her. She manifested no surprise,
but replied in a direct manner.

Sanguinary Experience With Party OF
Winnepeg Indans--The Red Skins Routed.
WINNIPEG, MAN, August 20.
On the Red River, mile below the
city, Monday evening, four white men who
had crossed the river to shoot, were at
tackled by party of Indians with knives
and clubs. One of the whites raised his
gun to fire, when an Indian rushed upon
him and seized the gun. terrible
struggle ensued, during which the gun
went off and it's contents were lodged in
the Indians stomach. The fight
then. became general, the white
men clubbing their guns and the
Indians using their knives freely.
One of the latter overpowered the man
whose gun had gone off, threw him on
the grund, and with upraised knife was
kneeling over him when another white
felled the redskin to the ground with
blow from his gun. Finally the savages
were forced to retire. The whites re-
gained their boats and started for the
CITY. A posse of police went after the
Indians, and after securing the woods all
night, found the dead BODY Of the one
who had been shot. The white men re-
ceived several ugly wounds, and one OF
them is in dangerous condition.

The Dubuque Herald published on the
2Sth the following letter from Gov. Hen
bricks, received by citizen of that city in
answer to an inquiry concerning rumors
affecting change in the National Demo
cratic ticket, consequent upon the reports
published against Gov. Cleveland:
INDIANAPOLIS, August "a, 1884.
have your letter of the 10Th inst. 1 can
not consider with favor your suggestions
of a change in ths national ticket. The ac-
tion of the convention cannot now be re-
considered. 1t must stand, and l think 1t
ought to stand. do not agree with you in
respect to the probable result. think the
probabilities are favorable to the success
of our ticket. The Cleveland scandal will
not have weight with the people, and ought
not to have weight. 1t is unworthy the ma
tional contest. Three times Gov. Cleve-
land has stood the test of popular calum-
nies, once for the office of Mayor of his
own city, and each time he received the in
dorsement of his neighbors by vote large
ly above his party strength. Whatever
there may have been of the scandal exist
ing before that, it is not just, either to
him or the people now to revive it. The
public welfare requires that he be judged
by his public record, by his capability and
fitness for the discharge of the responsible
and important duties, and not by old and
exploded SANDER.
Respectfully yours,
