POINTS ABOUT PILGRIMS.

IAN instance wherein reckless bravery
accomplished a CREST deal, said one of
group OF Army officers at the Ebbitt last
night, was the fight the late Capt Cusack,
OF the Ninth Cavalry, had down at Horse
head Hills. i'll Texas some years ago He
was chasing down hostiles in that section,
and ran into some Mexican Lapans and
Apaches, under the leadership of Jose lie
PaZ His men We're almost all recruits,
and the Indians knowing this, anticipated
a sort of walk lover, but Cusaek rode
around on horseback exposed to the fire of
the Indians, directing the movements of his
men, and keeping them under cover until
he was wounded Even after he was taken
off his horse he walked about from one
squad to another, and by the very example
of his own herosIn encouraged them to
fight like old veterans He won the fight
without the loss of a man on his side and
with few wounded besides himself The
plunder and camp eGuipages of the Indians
were captured, together with over thirty
prisoners, and LIE PaZ afterward told us
that 20 Indians were either killed outright
or died from the injuries they received in
thatfight"
Il saw something this morning which,
until il was explained to me, made me think
the wheels in my bonnet had begun to buzz,
said W c. Flannery, of Cumberland Md,
at the Cochran yesterday Il was on
Fourteenth street cable car and about NJ
street a lady got on, and it is of the
peculiar situation in which she found her
self that / am about to speak II seems
that she had wooden leg, which was so
constructed that when she threw her good
limb forward it pulled d strap which was
connected with a rachel arrangement that
wound up a spring in the wooden leg which
in turn threw that forward AS long as she
went along al steady, even gait the thing
works beautifully, but on this occasion
She-was in such hurry to catch the street
car that she did some running, and as
result she got the leg wound up so tight
it wouldn't stop, so when she sat down in
the car her wooden leg began pounding
the floor at such a rate as TO cause the
passengers to believe that it's owner had
fit 1t didn't take her long 10 decide that
she would take a cab instead of the street
cal, land / suppose she went home and un-
wound it.
1.-THE old saying that pride goeth before a
fall was brought to my mind very forcibly
by little incident, or rather accident, that
l witnessed on Pennsylvania avenue this
afternoon said w. A Bowers, of st.
Louis. at the Randall last night. "A bi-
cyelist was sailing up the Avenue in a most
glorious fashion, respondent in a very re-
cent costume, his head in the air and his
hands resting, in negligent sort of way
on the handlebars of his machine. He
seemed to think that the street had been
made so smooth purposely for him. AS he
approached Sixth street a big c eXpress
wagon came down that street at a rafting
pace, and the young man, without abating
his own speed, thought he could pass
about three feet behind it, But he did not
notice that about five feet of rope trailed
in the rear of the wagon, and when his front
wheel struck that rope there was mix
ture of bicycle, recent costume, and fresh
young man going through the air that was
simply awful. He was not hurt very much,
though, and when he and the other things
were separated from each other he started
on up the street again. But his noncha-
liant air had departed, and he seemed anX-
ious to keep as far as possible from the rear
of any wagon that might have rope to
it,
