friendly Indians to capture the band of
hostiles and protect ourselves. 1t was In
July, 1855, that we set out after the H.
dams, and we followed them west between
the headwaters of the Sacramento and the
Trinity. The first night we stopped at
hillside that was fairly alive with rattle
snakes. | have never before nor since seen
so many OF the reptiles. We were actually
SO afraid of our lives that we climbed up
into the scrub oaks and, tying ourselves
fast. got what little sleep we could. After
day or two Of extremely hard climbing
and marching we came to the Indians and
closed in on them pretty well.
'By and by the Indians retreated little
way and four Of US, Lane. Whitney. Joa-
quin Miller and myself, made a circuit Of
the chaparral to find a way OF surrouudia z
them. We ran into a little band Of them,
and Lane had one of his eyes shot out by an
arrow and Whitney had his gunstOck split
in two. Then Miller suddenly fell. for one
arrow struck him on the left side Of his
chin, went through the flesh and the flint
head came out al the back of his neck.
The wound was painful, but he knelt on his
hands aud knees, and cutting of the head Z
the arrow with my knife, pulled il back.
well, the end of it all was that we
routed the Indians and drove them out of
that region-those that were left of them

In conclusion let me say this. Some peo-
pie. those WHO ''haye not seen the bear"
of course presume to think Indian fighting
trivial work. Well, an officer IF our frontier
army has shown lately that it is about six
times more serious, not only in fatalities
but in hardship. OF course loss OF life in
battle gives no real soldier concern. But
let US not despise the Indian fighter when
we know, as has been shown, that his
chances OF being killed In an Indian cam
paign are almost tenfold greater than
Ia campaign in civilized warfare.

Assistant Secretary Nettleton has written a
letter to Frank Hunter Of Norfolk, Va, stating
that the government cannot give advice to in
dividuals as to how to proceed in the collection
of the direct tax paid the state of Virginia.
Mr.. Hunter complains that the state agent
deducts per cent from all amounts paid to
individuals as their share Of the direct tax He
thinks this is an injustice and wants the whole
amount. After declining to give this advice
Mr.. Nettleton states that he thinks it was the
expectation Of Congress that applicants should
receive the full amount due thom 1t is known,
however, at the Treasury Department that each
state necessarily incurred considerable expense
in transcribinS the direct tax books in the
Treasury Department, without which 1t would
have been impossible to know to whom the
money and the amount duo each should be
paid. 1t is thought the deduction of per cent
Is made to cover this expense.

The approach of the 4OOth anniversary of the
discovery of America incidentally revived tho
talk Of bringing the remains OF Columbus to the
United States for the purpose Of exhibiting
them to the curious public.
During the latter part Of President Cleve-

wood at San Domingo originated the scheme.
He proposed to raise in the United States a
guarantee fund Of $4,000 or 800 900, which
was to be deposited with the San Domingo gov
eminent as security for the safe return Of the
remains. The proposition was discussed for a
short time and the universal opinion that
such Dissertation would be exocrable. The
San DOMINICAN government officially and indiS-
nantly refused to consider the proposition and
Secretary Bayard was SO incensed that he wrote
a very sharp letter to Consul Astwood, telling
him, in substance, that his conduct In the mat
