such transmu;ation. One morning noticed

persons sleeping on small iron beds in the

transitory character, even now. looked at
my acknowledges moment, and then lay
back upon my pallet and forgot them-not
in dreams or fancies but in sheer vacuity.

our room, the door of which had little
wicket In 1T which one could easily slide
back on the outside and see what was going
on within, without taking the trouble to
open the door, which was large, strong
one. 1t was very convenient arrangement
when one of the dodgers was inclined to be
sleepless which sometimes happens where
there are several inmates. When the man
entered he brought US our clothes and helped
us TO put them on. Some were very slow
and awkward, but he did not get impatient.

end came.
Thank God, she never saw the horrid
deaih-in-lifs, which uttered the name with
which love had clustered her, but could
have made no response to her most agOnized
appeal. That much, at least, her uncertain,
lingering widowhood was spared. When
hope at length WAS dead she did not know
the nameless horror of tie death which bad
swallowed up the life she loved.
Ny case is said TO have been so peculiar in
its Manifestations as TO have attracted the
attention of the most distinguished experts.

view of determining the truth of his theory.
Judging from the scarlfications that still re-
main, he must have made some rather Sc

as much in his monograph. No matter !;
however deeply he may have carved my

charged with issuing rations. I owe no
man in the Southern Confederacy graft
tude for anything-not even for kind
word.
Speaking of secret society pins recalls
noteworthy story, which has been told
me since the war, of boys whom 1 knew.
At the breaking out of hostilities there
existed in Toledo festive little secret
society, such as larking boys frequently
organize, with no other object than fun
and the usual adolescent love of mystery.
There were a dozen or so members in it,
who called themselves "The Royal Reu-
bens," and were headed by bookbinder
named Ned Hopkins. Some one started
branch Of the Order in Napoleon, o.,
and among the members was Charles E.
Reynolds, of that town. The badge
of the society was peculiarly-shaped
gold pin. Reynolds and Hopkins
never met, and had no acquaintance
with each other. When the war broke
out, Hopkins enlisted in Battery III,
1st Ohio Art, and was sent to the
Army Of the Potomac, where he was
captured, in the Fall Of 1863, while
scouting, in the neighborhood of Rich
mond. Reynolds entered the 68th Ohio,
and was taken in the neighborhood of
Jackson, Miss, 1000 miles from the
place of Hopkinss capture. AT Ander-
sonville Hopkins became one of the Off
GERS in charge of the hospital. One day
rebel Sergeant, who called the roll in
the Stockade, after studying Hopkins's
pin minute, said:
81 seed a Yank in the Stockade to-day
a-wearing pin egzackly like that ere"
This aroused Hopkins's interest, and
he went inside in search of the other
teller" Having his squad and detach-
ment there was little difficulty in finding
him. He recognized the pin, spoke to
its wearer, gave him the "grand hailing
sign" of the "Royal Reubens," and it
was duly responded to. The upshot of
the matter was that he took Reynolds
out with him as clerk, and saved his
life, as the latter was going down hill
very rapidly. Reynolds, in turn, secured
the detail of a comrade of the 6Sth who
was failing fast, and succeeded in saving
his life-all of which happy results we're
directly attributable to that insignificant
boyish society and its equally unim-
portant badge of membership.
Along in the last of August the rebels
learned that there were between two and
three hundred Captains and Lieutenants
in the Stockade, passing themselves off
as enlisted men. The motive of these
officers was twofold: First chivalrous
wish to share the fortunes and fate of
their boys; and, second, dissemination
to crafty the rebels by the knowledge
of the rank of their captives. The secret
was so well kept that none of us sus-
pected it until the fact was announced
by the rebels themselves. They were
taken out Immediately, and sent to
Macon, where the commissioned officers
prison was. 1t would not do to trust
such possible leaders with us another day.

Lieut.. Davis went into the war with
great brashness. He was one Of the
mob which attacked the 9th Mass. in its
passage through Baltimore, but, like all
of that class of roughs, he got his stom-

INDIANS ON THE WAR PATH.
Oheyennes and Crows Kill Settlers
and Soldiers.

DENVER, Colo, May 31.-A special
to the Republican from Helena, Mont,
says: The Cheyenne Indians have
gone OF the war path and so far are
said to have killed almost a dozen
men, including five United States SOL
diers. The Indians have 40 reserva-
ton of their own, but roam over the
southern part of the State, near the
Grow Indian reservation.
The white settlers r up in arms
and the women and children are be-
ing sent into the northern towns for
safety. The Cheyennes make the
Lame Deer agency their headquarters.
Hoover, a sheep herder, was recently
shot while herding sheep, and 1t was
proven that Indians did 1t. He was
killed because he caught several In
dams killing sheep. This so incensed
the stockmen that they have armed
themselves and will fight to protect
their homes, help and stock.
Two companies of colored cavalry
from Custer were ordered to the
agency Wednesday, and Saturday a
courier arrived from the agency with
information that George Walters, the
postmaster, and Lou Anderson, a
stockman, had been shot and killed;
also that the Indians had shot into the
cavalry and killed five, and had sixty
armed cowboys surrounded. The cav
airy from Fort Keogh and Company
E of the infantry left Saturday for the
scene.
There are certain grounds for fear.
The C~heyennes r determined and
they are being reinforced by renegade
Crows. Rosebud ranchers received q
consignment of rifles and ammunition
at this point to-day. Settlers have
moved all their families from lea the
reservation. Ranchmen and stock
men have organized at Cheyenne
agency and demand the Indians who
killed Hoover. The names of the In
dams are known and they are protect.
ed by fifty bucks.
