1889. He said: Grant had his trunks

ing, who replied that Grant had requested
leave of absence. On my way back to
camp L rode over to see Grant and found
him arranging his papers on a board, sup
ported by two empty barrels. / said,

showed me Grants and Lincoln's letters

index to each, as well as one of the entire
collection, and kindly said they were at
my service. Expressed a wish that either
Gen. Cox or Gen. Force should prepare
his biography for the Great Commanders
series, and declined to accept my invi-
tation to write the volume on Winfield
Scott, as he was apprehensive it might
cause controversy, and he wished TO spend
his remaining days in peace. Sherman's
biography was written by Force
and published in 1899. Before it was fin

plain. The battle was then begun, and
soon became general and severe, and was
warmly contested until dark, when il
ceased for time, without having been
productive of much advantage to either
size. During the night both armies lay
on their arms. .
Early in the morning a few shots were
fred, but at too great a distance for execu-
ton. The Indians were hourly receiving
reinforcements, and seemed busily en-
gagged in active preparations for decisive
conflict. The whites became uneasy at
their increasing strength, and council of
the officers demeed it cxpedient to retreat.
As this would be difficult to effect in open
day. in the presence of an enemy of su-
pcrior force, it was resolved TO postpone
it until night, making in the meantime
every arrangement to insure its success.
The day passed without an attack being
made by the Indians. They were bUSily
engaged in closing up every pass in order
To cut off the chance for escape of the
whites, and this they had so effectually
done that only ore avenue remained
through which the guides conducted the
army in its retreat.
After getting out of the inclosure made
by the Indians, about one-third of the
army then separated from the main body
and fed i'll detached parties, and in diff
ferent directions, suppOsing that the In
dians would follow the army and thus
Their chance for escape would be greater.
In this they were mistaken; instead of fol-
lowing the main army the Indians pur-
sued those small parties with such activ-
lty that not many of them effected their
escape.
Col. Crawford himself proceeded at the
head of the army for a short distance.
when, missing his son, his sOu-in-law and
two nephews, he stopped to inquire for
them. He was induced, through his anX-
icty for them, to remain behind with DR..
Knight, Surgeon to the army, and the day
following party of Delaware suddenly
sprung from their hiding places into the
road and made prisoners of both. They
were then led, in company with nine other
prisoners, to the old Wyandotte town,
where, after the usual deliberations in
their council, he was doomed to be burned
to death at the stake.
The precise spot of his execution was
a few miles west of Upper SanduSky on
the trail leading to the Wyandotte town,
and on the east bank of TycmOchtee
Greek. Here, after suffering the most eX
crutiating tOrtures that savage malisnity
could devise for nearly four hours, death
finally came to his relief and his career
in life closed.
The Dclawares burned Crawford in sat
s1action for the massacre of their people
at the Morayian towns on the Tuscara-
was. The Pioneer Association of Wyan-
dOtte County erected quite a beautiful
monument in memory of Col. Crawford in
August, 1877, which stands on the bank
of the TyemOchtee Creek, about 800 feet
from the spot where he was burned.
In this campaign between 80 and 100
persons were killed by the savagcs, the
number corresponding almost exactly with
the killed at the Moravan towns. Two
of the prisoners whom the Indians had
captured escaped-Dr. Knight and John
Slower. The same number escaped from
the butchery at GnadeHhutten, viz, two
Indian boys

ing the present Winter. The cost of this
magnum opus was upward of $1,000, 900!
Sherman, who was an excellent racon-
teurr at the same dinner party amused US
with the following story: when l was
with the army in Georgia" said the Gen
eral, IA slaye-owner about Christmas time
missed fine fat turkey. He suspected a
sood-looking mulatto and ordered the man
brought before him. You have stolen my
turkey and eaten it,, said the irate plant
er,, Use not gwine to say l didn't when
you says l did, massa.' L ought to have
you fogged. What have you to say why
| should not punish you:' We'll, massa,
you hain't lost anything particular. You
see you has little less turkey and a good
deal more niger Ard the master was
compelled to acknowledge the philosophy
of the slave, and let him go unwhipped."

Subscribers
Advertising.

The very best premium we give is sub
scribers' advertising. Make SO or
$50 deal for coupons and guesses and take
an equal amount of advertising The use
of this advertising may develop good
business, widely extended.
Write the substance of what you de-
sire to say, and we will put it in shape.
Following are a few hints to those who
could use subscribers advertising col
umns to advantage:
A soldier wanting addresses of officers
or comrades:
A G. \. r. officer desiring to see the
last Post elections reported in full;
A farmer with seeds for sale;
A nurseryman with trees for sale;
A fancier with birds and eggs for sale;
A breeder with fine stock for sale;
A real estate dealer, Il pension attorney,
a boOkseller-all would find Atfsiness in
subscribers advertising columns;
\ merchant in any line, who is a COM
rade, can get up trade with comrades;
F., ClOthiers, hatters, harness makers, op-
ticians. jewellers, printers, druggists, fur
niture dealers and manufacturers, hard
ware and stove dealers-all do business
by mail. Try it if you are in one of these
lines.
Artists, lawyers and experts generally
can secure patronage from comrades if
they will advertise.
An employee who is comrade or son
of a comrade can probably get a better
place by advertising for it.
Have you a patent? Ask comrades to
buy it or develop it.
Can you make soap? Put up an honest
"old soldier" soap, and sell it by the box
through subscribers advertising columns.
Put up canned goods, and sell on honor
as TO quality to comrades.
Have you an orchard with the annual
great waste of fine fruit? Pick it care
fully, put up in barrels, and sell to co1R-
rades. Fine business can be made of this.
Have you a vineyard? Make Il good,
sound wine, and sell to comrades By the
barrel or case OF bottles.
Are you photographer? Make spe-
cialty of enlargins pictures for comrades
or their families.
There are 4 hundred other hints that
will occur to the reader. Every line of
business is ROW done by mail, express or
freight. Try it yourself.

NO DAMAGE FOR DRAINAGE.
BrookIyn's Artcsian Wells Don't Dimisinh
Long Island streams.

An application was made in March, 1900,
by Foster Sprague for an order Of court
to prevent the city from using artesian
wells and conduits on the south side OF
Long Island. Mr.. Sprague owns land on
the hanks Of Freeport Creek, and he said
in his application that the city diverted
wster hat would have flowed into the creek,
wh.ct was a navigable stream. and that
his roperty was injured in consequence.
Yesterday Justice Wilmot NJ Smith de-
nird the application. II was test case
ana would have been followed by suits for
damages amounting to s5OO,OO0 had not
Justice Smith denied the application.
Justice Smiths opinion il contained III
the following paragraph:
Whenever the right is doubtful or needs
investigation Of jury upon facts in dispute
a court of equity is always reluctant To
interpose its summary authority, for II
is rather the duty Of the court to protect
acknowledged rights than to establish
new and doubtful ones
IL is believed that Justice Smiths opinion
will put an end 10 much litigation based
upon the alleged injury TO land by exces-
sive drainage due to the Brooklyn water
supply pumps.
