In this connection, says the gOs-
siper of the Omaha Herald, IN refer
ring to Col. Peter A. Sarpy. prom.
inent figure in the early history of
Nebraska, it will not be out of place
to relate an incident characteristic of
Col. Sarpy. During a general con-
yersatiOn in the main room of the
Bellevue trading post one evening in
1885, he portrayed in glowing colors
the noble traits Of the Indians, and
denounced the injustice and wrong
which they had suffered at the hands
of the whites, who had by means OF
one-sided treaties deprived them of
their lands. He was rather rudely
interrupted by stranger, who said !:
"This talk about the Indians as
good, brave and intelligent may suit
you traders, who have been enriched
by exchanging your worthless geW-
gaWs for their valuable buffalo robes,
but | have lived among them too,
and know them to be a lying, thiev-
ing, treacherous race, incapable of
distinguishing between right and
wrong, and the sooner they are ex-
terminated the better it will be for
the country"
Col. Sarpy walked up to the stran-
ger and said to him in a very excited
manner: "Do you know who l am.
sir? If you want to fight, sir, can
whip the devil, sir If you want
satisfaction. sir, choose your weapons,
Bowie knife, shotgun, or revolver.
sir, l am your man ~
ThereupOn he whipped out his re-
volver and fired at a candle on a ia.
bic about ten feet distant. The bull
let extinguished the light. leaving
the room in darkness, under cover of
which the thoroughly frightened
stranger made his escape.

the enemy. With dilated eyes and
half opened mouths they bent for
ward in their eagerness to see who
would fire the next shot.
The Yankees piece was loaded
first. and as the Tennesseean was
raising his gun he fired.
The gray Jacket started forward,
threw out his arms, from which fell
his gun, and. staggering forward fell
dead. A sigh burst from the heart
of every Confederate. a sigh of re-
gret rather than pity, that they had
been beated by the Yankees. A shout
of triumph burst from the Federals,
long continued shout, which awoke
the echoes of the river, and was taken
up all along the line until it sounded
for miles down the stream.
Caps We're thrown in the air, and
for a time a scene of enthusiasm rare
Iy witnessed prevailed among the
Federals. The shouts maddened the
Confederates and were answered by
a rebel yell. Fifty of their number
defed the Yankees, and defied fifty
of them to fight duel with them,
one at a time. The challenge was
accepted, and for a time it appeared
that dueIing battle was about to be
fought.
The unusual commotiOn attracted
the attention of the Confederate Of
ficers. and upon learning the cause Of
the excitement they ordered the meI
back to their places and declared the
truce at an end.
Get to your hole, JOhuny !" Get
to your hole, Yank !" were the shouts
sent forth by the opposing forces, fol-"
lowed by general scramble, and
soon not head was seen above the
trenches.
The unusual duel was the theme of
conversation for many nights around
the soldiers camp fires, but the Con-
federates asserted that the Yankee
used Wentworth gun, while the
Tennesseean had an inferior gun, an
Enfield rifle. Even now the old vet
Grams often get together and discuss
the singlehanded engagement be-
tween the Yankee and the Tennessee
an. The story was given me by an
eye witness who did not know the
name of eiter the young Confederate
or his Union enemy.

Forms Of Salutation.

The most common form of salutation
among Anglo-Saxons is shaking hands.
Men usually greet women by raising
the hat. but no two men were ever
found who observed the courtesy in the
same manner.
There is no authorized manner for q
lady to return a mans salute. Novelty
is what the fair sex seeks, and each one
has her own little way.
Among the French, and especially
with the Belgians, men think nothing
of embracing each other in public. A
father and son, or other near relations,
often kiss in public.
A peasant in Spain greets stranger
he meets by generously offering him
one-half the bread he carries, 1t is
never accepted without great astonish-
ment to the donor.
The Japanese show respect on meet
ing 10y bending the knee, though in the
street they only make q feint of so
doing. This is the general salute. but
there are many others which are re-
quired from interiors on encountering
those in high positions.
In India the Buddhists salute by
lowering the palm of the right hand
and bringing IL up toward the face, at
the same time saying Ram, ram chair.
The Mohammedans do the same, but
simply say "Salaam." This is only
done in either case by members Of the
same faith. The SALVATION is always
made, too, with the right hand, to use
the left being considered an insult.
