On the night Of the 2lst the scouts that
had left the island the first night Of the bat
tie reached Fort Wallace. They had passed
the Indian sentinels with good fortune and
concealed their trail so skillfully as to pro
vent pursuit. Prompt action was taken by
the commAndant Of the post, and Q mount

the 25th in time 10 save the lives Of the
heroes who were fast giving way under the
gnawintss Of famine and their wounds
They had made q gallant hght and deserved
o better fate than TO become food for
wolves. Col Forsyth's wounds were In q
serious condition, but he recovered, 10 take

terrible Apaches In Arizona.
The experienced scouts Of Forsyth's party
estimated the Indians that fought them at
the island camp at about o5O and from In
formation obtained from braves who par
tlcipated and Afterward became friendly
Forsyth verified this statement, and proved
that his gallant band had stood out against
odds Of nearly twenty 10 one. Their sue
cess was not because Of superior weapons
either. The redskins had the mostimbroved
rifles, repeatsrs at that, and an abundance
Of ammunition. The scouts were cool in
the moment Of supreme danger and made
every bullet tell. The Indians lost seventy
Eve killed and nearly two hundred wound
ed. The casualties In Forsyth's camp were
twenty-three in all.
The victory 30 dearly purchased with the
loss Of noble lives was by no means . bar
rem one. The death Of the Cheyenne war
chief and the braves who fell with him was
avenged in Indian fashion by depredAtions
on scattered and defenseless settlements
for time. But day Of reckoning came.
When cold weather set in that year Gen.
Custer followed the Cheyenne band to-
ward their haven In the warm valleys Of
Indian territory. He fell in with the war

the cruel and crafty Black Kettle, sue

It was nearly midday, and Col Forsyth
was not long In divining the true situation.
He was surrounded BY immense num-
bers Of bloodthirsty redskins, which after
ward proved to be Cheyennes and Sioux
over 900 strong, led on in all the fury Of
their race by Roman Nose. This royal
savage had boasted that only once had he
taken white mans hand in friendship,

men haughtily demanded the cessation Of

Deep Sea 6ponRes.

"Some of the most beautiful things
that live in the ocean are the sponges
of the great depth, which have often
very curious and interesting forms,'
said naturalist to a reporter. mot
the least remarkable are the so-called
'sea-nests, which are in the form OF
spheres or sometimes egg shaped.
THE outer coat OF one OF these speci-
mems is complicated net work, over
which q delicate membrane is spread.
An ornamental frill adorns the upper
part, while the lower portion throws
out maze of glossy filaments like fine
white hairs.
These hairs penetrate the semi
fluid mud in every direction, thus hold
ing the sponge in its place, while con-
tinuous current of water is drawn by
waving 'cilis' through all parts Of the
mass, passing out by hole at the top.
In this manner the animal absorbs
whatever food may be afloat.
Another singular sponge fs the
glass rope, which sends down into the
mud a coiled wisp of filaments as thick
as knitting needle. The latter opens
out into brush, fixing the creature in
place, after the manner OF screw pile.
"Still another remarkable sponge is
found In the deep water of the I 1Offodsn
Islands. 1t spreads out ipte Q thin Or
cular cake, surrounded BY what looks
like fringe OF white floss silk.
yet another curiosity 10 the 'eupec-
tella' sponge of the Philippines, which
lives embedded to It's lid in the mud,
and supported by lovely frill."

"Prosressiye Polygamy" is Increasing.

The Hon. ALVIN Saunders, some time
a United States senator from Nebraska.
at present member of the Utah COM
mission. but most fondled by fame be-
cause he has the happiness of being the
fatherinlaw of the son OF the gradson of
General William Henry Harrison, says
that the commission will report to
President Harrison that polygamy is
diving out in the realms once ruled by
that fat and greasy fascinator, the Hon.
Brigham Young. 1t is possible that
Mr. Saunders is right, although the
conclusion of government commissions,
genial bodies, which combine dollars
worth of vacation with every cents
worth of investigation, are not usually
accepted by the judicious as strong as
proofs of Holy Writ. If, however, po-
lygamy is dying out in Utah, the cause
must be sought in the excessive compe-
tition in other parts of the Union. A
Judge in Chicago testified recently that
the average life of a marriage in that
surging town is four years. 4 youth
who marries at p can make at that rate
six marriages before he comes to so
wears. This is what is called ''consecu-.
tive polygamy," and it is said to BE-
much superior to the Utah variety of
contemporaneous polygamy. In New
England and New York, too, monogamy
seems to be dying out. The surplus of
women is. in the words of a happily
married democratic statesman, a condi-
ton and not a theory that confronts us
l have no remedy at hand, but l do
think that habitual divorces and mar
riages ought to be restrained as much
as habitual criminals.-N. Y. Truth.

eternity will take up the chant, and S.
John will play: sThese are they who

the blood of the lamb
But what viii your chagrin and mine
be If it shall be told that day on the
streets of heaven that on earth we
shrank back from all toll and sacrifice
and hardship, No scars to show the
heavenly soldiery. Not so much as
one ridge in the palm OF the hand to
show, that in the battle for God and the
truth, we just once grasped the sword
so firmly, and struck so hard that the
sword and the hand stuck together, and
the hand clave to the sword. o, my
Lord Jesus, rouse us to thy service.
Thy saints in all this glorious war
Shall conquer though they die;
They see the triumph from afar,
And seze it with the eye,
When that illustrious day shall rise,
And all thy armies shine
In robes OF victory through the skies,
