INDIAN FIGHTING COURAGE.
Terrors In White Settlements Who Run
 Away From Hostile Redskins.

Away From Hostile Redskins. Ut takes special kind of courage to fight Indians, said Major Edward Rags dale. 'They' pretty sure to surprise you, and they're slippery as quicksilver and as hard to catch. Their yelling and whoop- ing alone are enough to stampede men not trained to their style of fighting. Some times they fight under cover, and you catch a fire from an enemy you can't get sight of, and again, where there hasn't been one Do be seen, they seem all to spring out Of thc ground at once and charge you as though nothing could stand their onset. Thon there's the knowledge that if they catch you alive you'll be skinned alive or burned or your life tortured out of you by slow degrees in thousand other ways they can think up to make you suffer. There's many stout hearted desperado. q terror in white settlements and not afraid to have pistol or shotgun scrap any hour of the day or night with a man of his own color, who doesn count for a row of pins in an Indian fight.
 ''Take Sam Brown of Nevada for case in point. He wasn't afraid of any man that wore boots, and he was the terror of the mining camps everywhere he went The Piute Indiazs got bad ono time, and pdTly Wdb OTSfHILcQ III tuC CdhiPo tO 6c out against them. Sam joined the volun- tecrs, and everybody in the party and all that staid behind were talking about the big deeds Sam Brown would do and chuckling to think of the way those red skins would be wiped out when they ran up against him.
 Well, when they came upon the h. dians things didn't turn out quite as they had exnected If wns the whites that got licked out in short order, and those that weren't left on the ground stampeded for safety Sam Brown was one of the first ones to run, and the pace he set his horse at to get away from those redskins was something that beat quarter racing in the way of reckless riding. As they stampeded down a canyon, every man trying to bo foremost to get away, Sam hailed Joe Nc Murtrie, who was riding better horse than his:
 "'Oh, Mac! Pull your horse little So I can como up. We'll ride safer together.
 'McMurtrie's answer to that friendly invitation was to bend down to his horses neck, set in the spurs and get out of that canyon ahead of Sam and back to Bodic as fast as hoofs could carry him. He knew Sam Brown, and that if that worthy once got alongside him he wouldn't hesitate to shoot him of his horse so as to get bet ter mount for himself After they all got back to tho settlement ho didn't go round to places where he was likely to meet Sam, lest it might stir him up to unpleas- ant recollections of their Indian cam paign, people wero that considerate of 1 others feelings in those days when the other happened to be Sam Brown.

ST. LOUIS, March 8.-The epidemic of smallpox has spread 10 such an extent that the city and state authorities have decided to take heroic measure, in dealing with the disease.

SOUTH CAROLINA AT THE
EXPOSITION.

The news that comes from Atlanta
that the South Caroiaa exhib!s is the
best State exhibit there will surprise no.
body more than South Carolinians
themselves. but there appears 70 De 90
room for question as to its correctness.
Among all the attractions at tha
Exposition. as reported in the special
dispatch published yesterday, South
Carolina comes to the front with a
splendid exhibit. or. to speak more cor
rectly, with seven exhibits. wblch,
taken separately or as whole, reflect
great credi, upon the State and those
who have contributed to them Mr..
Roche. it was truly roted, has labored
under many difficulties. but be has
accomplished great work. As he
will have the best State exhibit on the
grounds" 10 respect of both extent
and variety" it is repeated, again, the
display Of South CaroliOa's resources
'surpasses all others
This is all as gratifying as It is sur
prising Mr.. Roche has worked hard
and steadily, as his friends know. but
he has worked harder and to much bet.
ter purpose than anybody besides him
self knew to have achieved SO success
ful results with so li,sle help and
less noise about what he was
doing. With all due credit to those
who have helped him, it is sim
pie justice to say that if South Carolina
has or will have the best State exhibit
at the Exposition it viii owe that credit
able. pleasing and profitable fac: to the
intelligent and patient, personal efforts
Of its untiring Commissioner
There is :oom for one regres in the
matter, however. we'll pleased as we
have reason to be with our position as
pescrlbed that is a regret that Mr..
Roche's efforts have not been better
supported by the people iO all parts of
the State. If be has made so good a CON-
parat;ve show for the State working
under go many difficulties, and with SO
little encouragement apd aid. what
would he not have accomplished if he
had received the kind and amount Of CO.
operation that he ought to have re-
