The Sailors Outfit.

What is sailors outfit for long WOW
age" repeated a weather beaten old tar
recently, as he munched piece of old navy
and gazed respectively into his glass of grog
in Front street saloon. t'Why, as for that
matter, no two sailors are alike. One will
go to sea with a nice outfit of long toys for
nights ashore and sea rig large enough to
start secondhand clothing store on South
street; and another will fire all his Doodle
away in a nights Publication, and away to
sea the next day for voyage around the
Horn with the suit he stands in and a ragged
suit of oilskins that have weathered both
capes and the storms OF these seasons"

Suddenly | heard a shot and two squaws
fell dead in the snow by my side. One OF
our bows had discovered my situation.
The papooses and squaws instantly
| scampered away, but the Indian was de-
termined to run the risk of getting my
scalp ANYHOW, and he pounced down on
me with his knees on my chest, drew ms
knife. and the next second, although II
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 zoos
en- the scalp; then, while this painful ten
sion is not relaxed. imagine the not partic-
ularly sharp blade of a knife being
run quickly in circle around
your scalp with a saw like mo-
lion. Then let your imagination grasp
if it can the effect that strong, quick
| Jerk on the tuft of hair, to release the
scalp from any clinging particles that
NAV still hold it in place would have on
your nervous and physical 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 a
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 terri
ble When the Indian tore my scalp from
nv head it seemed as 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 |

tent. The cavalry had come up in the
mean time, and the Indians were routed.
Only few escaped but Black Kettle was
among them. A comrade told me that he

rate. |, with the rest of the wounded.

helpless and suffering untold misery for
weeks, and when [ recovered concluded

and asked for my discharge. The nature
OF my wounds were such that received
my discharge at once. Gen. Custer
PECULIARLY remarked to me afterward that
made mistake in leaving the service.
Think, said he, how surprised and dis
gusted 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."

BEATING INTO THE HARBOR.

Beating into the harbor.
When the cloud-dimmed sun is low,
And over the stormy waters
The gull and the petrol go;
With sails all torn and rifted,
And cordage wrecked and gone,
The worn ship seeks haven
DismAntled, spent, forlorn.
Strained hull and ruined cargo
At the evenings stormy close,
Beating into the harbor.
The weary vessel goes;
Thankful to make the home lights,
Though only pitiful wreck
OF the ship that sailed so proudly
With snowy spars and deck.
Beating into the harbor-
y weary, shipwrecked soul.
Lost hopes. lost joy, lost powers,
Wide come of the wished-ior goal;
over the bar CLEAN brightly
The holy citY's lights
And thy storm tossed bark. with rapture,

The solving of the ST. Louis murder
mystery is about to take place. 1t has
been disputed by the insurance co.npa-
uies, with whom Prellar, the alleged
victim cf the above murder, was IN
sured, that the dead body was that OF
Preliar. The claimants of the ln>ur-
ance money, to verify their claims,
have had the body Gisiuterred and the
head severed, with a view to prove by
the teeth, which had at some time been
filled, that they possessed Preilar,s
head and that Prellar was dead. This
method of proof was suggested by the
finding among Prcllar'> effects OF 4
recriptrd bill bearing date Of March
30, 1873, setting forth that certain
teeth in prellar'S Jaws had been filled
By DR.. E. T. DurneIie, OF Oakland, at
the time when Prelar was visiting
this Stale. A few days ago, DR.. Bur-
ne,,e received q letter from the claim
