How it Feels to be ScaIped.

Marvin Holly of Dearborn county,
Ind, has a tender pink spot three
inches wide on the top of his head
where he was scalped in 1869. He has
recently been in New York and thus
tells his adventures "We heard that
Black Kettle was encanped somewhere
i'll the Big Horn valley, and was almost
daily sending ont predatory bands of
his warriors to plunder settlers and
emigrant trains, and Gen. Custer de-
cided to hunt him up and punish him.
The infantry was some two miles in
advance of the cavalry, when one day,
just at daylight, we came in sight of
the enemy's camp. We were on Il high
hill overlooking the valley, and the
Indians were below. 1t was in the
depth of winter and the snow was very
deep. Their camp was i'll Il rocky
spot, and as the women and children
were there it was evident that it was
the headquarters of the band. 1t was
determined to surprise the village,
and a portion of our command was
sent through the woods to the right to
get i'll the rear of the camp, while the
remainder advanced quietly down the
mountain, from the top of which II
good trail led to the valley through the
| thick woods. This manGuvreing was
so successful that before our presence
! was discovered by the Indians we
were within 400 yards of the camp,
and the detachment sent to open fire
in the rear had arrived in position.
/ We knew by the yells of the Indians
and the great cOmmotion among them
that we were discovered, and we at
once began the attack. Firing began
on both sides of them at once, and thus
caused what ut first promised to be a
panic among the Indians that would
make our victory an easy one, but sud-
denly an Indian of unusual size, with
his face streaked with bright yellow
and vermilion paint, in cross bars,
came dashing from seme place among
the rocks on black pony. His. yell
could be heard above everything else,
as he tore to and fro among his war
riors, and the effect of his presence at
once became apparent. In less than
two minutes after our first fire every
Indian was in position behind some
rock or tree, and we knew that the
fight would lie a desperate one. We
were In a secure position, but the In
dlans were just as secure as we were,
and the only way we could hope to
/ defeat them was To charge upon theiI
stronghOlds, dislodge them, aud settle
the tight hand to hand. We were or

Not Alarmed.

what Is there about a graveyard
which so frightens people that few
care to enter one at night? Even the
sailor who has faced II hurricane, or
the guns OF an enemy, will go a long
way around, mt night, rather than take
the short cut that leads across the vii
lage churchyard.
An interesting story, which il vet
told at the tiresides of Vermont. brings
out the fearlessness of the hero of III
conderoga, and his indifference to the
superstition that then ruled in the com
munity.
There was dispute one dav in the
village where Ethan Allen lived as to
now far his well-known courage would
permit him to go in deeds of daring.
The dispute finally resulted in n wager
being proposed to Allen. The terms
were that be should go to the grave
yard, on dark, stormy night, without
lantern, enter certain vault, open a
coffin, and lay his hand on the skull of
the skeleton within. His word WAS to
be taken as the guarantee of the per
fOrmance
When the dark night came, not a
few of Aliens admirers thought that
his courage would fail him. But he
went to the graveyard, entered the
tomb, grOped his way in the dark to a
coffin, took off its lid, and laid his hand
on the skeletons skull
Just then sepulchral voice exclaim-
ed =
"Thats my skull I"
"All right" thought Allen, who sus-
pected that some one had followed
to see if he could frighten him, "Pn
show him what | dare do"
lie replaced the lid, and opening an
other coffin, placed his hand on its
skull. Again was heard the voice, say
ing: -
"That's my skull ~
"That's a lie," exclaimed Allen "no
man ever had two skulls"
From that day the villagers be-
leved that Ethan Aliens courage was
bounded by no human limitations.

a party was to be given at the resi-
dence of one of our Burlington society
leaders, and on the day before the
event, as usual, a number of regrets
were sent in. Among others was one
brought by bright-faced little boy,
the top of whose head was several
inches below the door bell The lady
OF the house, hearing him ring, went
to the door herself. ''Hullo ~ said the
youngster, sociably, as he held ont his
little tinted missive. "IIere's note
from my ma. She can't come to your
party-but she could if she wanted to-"
And with II bright smile of self-satis-
faction the little messenger took his de-
parture.- Free Press.

Justice again Defeated.

The Emma Bond case, which has
been on trial at Hillsboro, ILL.,, for over
three weeks, finally disappears with IL
verdict of acquittal for the four men
charged with the crime. 1t NAV be
remembered that Miss Bond is the
teacher who was assaulted in her
school-hOuse near Taylorville by sew
eral men in June, 1852, drugged and so
shOckingly maltreated that she has
since been an invalid and much of the
time seemed very near her end. The
case Is very strange one. 1t appears
that the girl held herself above the
young men of the rough com munity
where she was employed and incurred
a good deal of ill-wilL Soon after the
crime suspicion fell upon John C. and
William }. Montgomery, Lee A. Pettis
and Emanuel Clement, who lived in
the vicinity, and they were arrested.
A preliminary examination resulted in
all but William q. Montgomery being
held for trial, and then came lynching
talk. Finally a mob broke into the
Jail, took two of the men and hanged
them up to tree, but somebody sug-
gested that they be let down to confess.
then Miss Bonds father appeared and
urged that the work be stopped, and
the scared wretches were put back in
Jail but little harmed. The lynching
idea was not given up, however, and
only Mr.. Bonds firmness in constantly
opposing violence prevented it, The
grand jury indicted the three men.
Il change of venue was taken from
Fayiorville to HillsborO, and there the
trial has been had, with every inch of
the ground contested. As a witness
Miss Bond positively identified John
Montgomery us one of her assail-
ants, and the circumstantial evidence
seemed to bear heavily upon the trio,
out there was contradictory testimony,
