A GLORIOUS STROUD
And a Peaceful Grave For a Fallen
Warrior,


From the NelD York World.
Only the day before we left the Rap:dan
the apple trees had come out in full bloom,
and it was sight to soften soldiers heart
to behold them clothed in robes of peace
and purity. Every breath of wind brought
the odor of the blossoms to our nostrils, and
it was something to take us back home to
the old apple trees growing beside the we'll
curb at the kitchen door.
The enemy had fallen back before our
advance until they get the shelter of for
est-crowned ridge with a creek meandering
aloog it's front.
At the first gun from them our battery
wheeled to the left, rushed for the high
ground covered by a farmhouse orchard,
and as we uDlim bered and began firing
long-fuse shell / discovered that the limbs
of a grand old apple tree spread out over
our heads until every man was sheltered
How pure and delicate those blossoms
looked How refreshing the odor exhaled |!
The powder smoke blew back among them,
but they seemed to shake it off, and. though
our faces were soon begrimed, the odor
OF those white blossoms was still in our
nostrils.
Like the soft lazy snowflake of a spring
day, the blossoms came floating down
among us, detached from the limbs by the
conclusion. / even brushed them off the
gun as sighted it to send shell with MUIR
derous intent Some one said the enemy
wes advancing. | brushed the falling bios
SONS right and left to enable me to see.
Some one said that one of our men had
been killed just behind me. The blossoms
pelt ed nv cheek as | turned to look
Well, it was over in half an hour. with
less than 100 killed and wounded. We
sponged out our gun, limbered up. and then
l turned to the poor fellow who would
never answer roll call again. He had
already been buried. The ground about us
was as white as if snow had fallen, and ten
feet away ley our dead comrade-shrouded
in the white apple DISCONTINUED under
the beautiful and delicate petals,
which the crash of war had shaken
down. Wasn't it a glorious Stroud
and peaceful grave for warrior A bullet
fred by sharpshooter who had crept up a
ravine had entered his heart, and he had
fallen on his back and lay with eyes open
wide and the blood yelling out of his death
wound.
And the blossoms had hidden his eyes and
their awful stare-had yelled his face until
we could not see its pallor-had fallen SO
thickly upon his broad breast that there was
no trace of the bullet and its work
1t was the soft, tender hands of nature
seeking for the moment to hide the murder
Gus work of war-to soften the hearts of
men armed with every device to slay their
fellowmeu. And the soft breeze carried the
smoke away behind the farm house, to be
lost over the meadows. and in its place came
again the odor of blossoms and the songs of
red-breasted robins. Blossoms fell upon
the dead as they were laid in the shallow
trenches to sleep forever more. and above
them the robins called TO each other and re-
turned to their deserted nests.

lanche Crashing Into Valley.
From the Lucerne Vdtertdnd.
The priest of the district of Bristen, in the
canton of Uri, writes an account of night
of terror which his people passed through
some weeks ago. The whole valley was COW
cred deeply with snow. Shortly after mid
night those who were still awake felt sort
of shudder pass through the valley, fol-
lowed by a succession of explosions with a
noise like the loudeSt thunder. 1t
was an avalanche of finest
snow, like powder, which swept down
the valley from the Bristenstock with
such force that its destructive force ex-
tended nearly half mile below the termi-
nation of the glacier.
Some houses were entirely wrecked and
the roofs blown away from others. In one
of these unroofed houses two girls were
sleeping in an upper room when the ava
lauche fell upon them. completely burying
them. In the morning they were dug out.
Beyond their terrible fright they suffered no
harm. Numbers of trees have been up
rooted and even broken into pieces. and the
whole neighborhood presents picture of
desolation.

INDIANS MUST COME IN.
Gen. Miles Sends Them Word That They
Must Surrender.


PINE RIDGE AGENCY, ). d., January
7.-Gen. Miles has sent his ultimatum
to the Pine Ridge Indians who are with
the hoStiles.
Jack Red Cloud, Big Road. High
Horse, Lone Bear, Line Hawk and the
five other Indians who came in from
the hostile camp to hold a pow-wow
were allowed a briefer conference than
they had expected.
Gen. Miles plainly told them they
must come in and surrender; that he
was not here to listen to their com
plants; that they would be allowed to go
to Washington to make them after the
trouble was arranged here.
The braves mentioned above stated
that nearly, if not quite, all OF the Pine
Ridge Indians were desirous OF peace
and wanted to come back to the Agency
II the Pine Ridge Indians conclude to
come back it will greatly reduce the war
party, now numbering 1000. According
to Agent Coopcr's figures there are 200
Pine Ridge Indians absent, and so their
force will be reduced at least half the
present number. A large proportion OF
the remainder will doubtless fight TO the
end.
Gen. Miles held another short talk
with these Indians, and they set out on
their return. 1t is thought most of the
Pine Ridge Indians will be here in a
day or two. Yesterday the Quarter
master, Capt. Humphrey, purchased a
herd of Indian ponies with which to
mount Tho First Infantry recently ar
rived from Angel Island, Cal.
Six persons reported seeing party
OF 50 Indians going south, some miles
east OF here. towards the town OF Cor
don. Lieut.. Gresham, with one troop OF
the Seventh Cavalry, at once pursued,
but up TO a late hour was unable to lind
anv trace of them. 1t was doubtless a
small raiding party, which Immediately
returned upon seeing they were dis
covered
