ScoTT's BLUFFS.
A Picturesque Spot and the Melancholy
Incident That Gave 1t Name.

Incident That Gave 1t Name.
Along the Nebraska river rises sue
cession of beetling cliffs of ifdurated clay
and sandstone, bearing the semblance OF
towers, castles, churches and fortified cities.
They received the name OF Soott's bluffs
from melancholy incident. A number Of
years ago, while party were descending
the river in canoes, their frail barks were
overturned, their provisions lost or spoiled,
and their powder wet. Their rifles were Of
course rendered useless, and they were un-
able to procure food by hunting and had to
depend upon roots and wild fruits for sub
sistence.
They made their way on foot as best
they could, suffering extremely from hum
ger, until they reached Laramie's fork.
Here Scott. one Of the party, was taken i'll,
and his companions came to a halt until
he should recover sufficiently to proceed.
While searching for edible roots they
discovered fresh trail of white men, who,
it was evident, had recently passed. What
was to be doneS BY forced march they
might overtake the travellers and thus be
able to reach the settlements in safety.
"What shall we do with ScottW said one.
"He can't walk"
For a moment all were silent. They real
lied that they were too weak to carry him,
and il they waited for his recovery all were
In danger Of perishing from starvation and
exhaustion.
1--WE must leave him here" some one
said grufily. "To wait for him means
death and to try to take him along can't
mean anything else"
1t was a cruel thing to do, but it was at
length decided to abandon the poor man to
his fate. Leaving Scott to infer that they
were in search of food, the whole party set
off on the trail. They succeeded in over
taking the white men of whom they were
In quest, but concealed their faithless de-
sertion of their unfortunate comrade.
The following summer some Of the same
party were visiting the region again. They
came suddenly upon the bleached bones
and grinning skull of human skeleton,
which by certain signs they recognized as
the remains of Scott. This was 90 long
miles from the place where he had been
left, and 1t appeared that the wretched man
had crawled that almost incredible distance
before death put an end to his miseries.
The wild and picturesque bluffs in the
neighborhood of his lonely grave have ever
since borne his sname-Youth'sC Companion.

MANY Vetrans of the rebellion
will be grieved to learn of the death,
Dec. 2, by her own hand, of Paul
inc Cushman, the famous female
scout, who was brevated a major by
Lincoln for her valuable services to
the union cause. She had evident
ly taken the morphine pills during
the night, whether with intent to
end her life will never be known.
She had been a great sufferer from
sciatica, and the theory of her
friends is that she took the NOR
phine while suffering excruciating
pains, and that in her condition
she was not conscious of the fact
that she was taking an overdose.
Others incline to the suicide theory,
as they say she had lost all hope of
getting the recognition from the
government that she thought was
her right for her service to the Un-
ions cause.

FIGHT THE WILSON BILL!

Below We reprint the comment OF
a number Of papers upon the Demo
cratic tariff bill to be introduced as
soon as Congress assemblies:
A CLEVELAND ORGAN BLoTs.
No such violent change of econ
omic policy as is proposed by the
Wilson tariff bill could be made
without corresponding change in
the economic condition of tho coun-
try and people. The duties on for
eign products, which really protects
the capital and labor of America,
are the props which have sustained
and are necessary to sustain the
common prosperity OF the people
not alone ef a class or classes, but of
the masses. The general principle
of the bill is to be feared and resist
ed. Resistance to it should assume
definite form and force at once.
Capital end labor should, through
their regular organizations and by
individual appeals, unite to influence
Senators and Representatives to OPP
pose as long as opposition can be
successfully exerted the principles
Of free trade, as set forth in the free
raw materials schedules and the
tariff-for-reveaue-only policy, as set
forth in the great reduction Of duties
on manufactured propucts. Pro-
lection for our industries is with
American capital and labor tho law
Of self-preservation, and any attempt
to set it aside should be .strenuously
contended against. Philadelphia

FIGHT 1T TO THE DEATH.

The bill appears to have been
gathered up from the mass OF the
ignorant utterances Of years and
flung together at random. 1t will
be contested inch by inch, and there
must be no attempt to restrict legiti-
mate discussion. Such an attempt
will tail If made. Philadelphia
