SHEKIDAN'S LIST HIDE.
BT SHENANDOAH.
I.
On the Wiohata, at break of daj,
The Cheyenne chieftain's village lay;
The remnant email of a mighty band,
Now Boattered and torn like the sifted sand;
The wandering winds with warnings wake
The ghosts of his murdered kiu, f who spake
"Fly I fly I for the morn bringeth fresh dismay
From Sheridan ninety miles away."
ii.
A thousand horsemen, with weapons bright
In the frore and frosted morning light,
Ride over the frosty-sheeted ground
"With a shuddering, smouldering, sullen sound;
They have seen the tents in the night's oold
noon,
And backward ride 'neath the veiled moon,
Prepared to pounce, like a bird of prey,
On the fated village at break of day.
in.
The Indian sire saw the countless throng
Like the trees of the forest, mauy and strong;
fie stood like a hunted hind at bay,
Then sent this message without delay:
"Ye are taar.y, and we are few;
Ye can drink our blood as the sun the dew,
Eat we have our women ami children small,
A hundred and thirteen souls in all;
My handful of warriors are strong and brave,
They will fight my helpless people to save;
There's no fear in the chieftain's eye,
I cannot fight, for I will not lie.
I came with this pledge only yesterday,
From the father ninety miles away."
IV.
No answer came: in another breath
They swept to their wretched work of death
With a maddening nUout and deafening yell,
Like the dire and dreadinl fiends of hell;
And babes from their mothers' breasts were
torn,
And sires were scalped in the light of morn.
The ground WB3 criuwoued with their blood,
And the river reddened with its flood.
Mangled forms lay bleeding and bare,
With a ghostly, ghastly, sickening glare;
And one rode foremost among them all,
Urging them on with shout and call,
On a foaming charger that seemed to say,
"I have brought you Custer all the way
At the head of a thousand armed men,
With orders traced wilu a bloody pen,
These trembling mothers and babes to slay,
yrom Sheridan, ninety miles away."
V.
Alas ! alas ! for tho deeds that were done
That day at the rising of the sun;
The tongue shall falter, the pen shall fail,
And lips grow white when they tell the tale
llow friend and foe on the field did lie,
All mangled and mingled to faint and die;
The victors, pantk-g tUir fame to spread,
Gave no hoed to the dying, no thought to the
dead.
Great God 1 was there none their hands to stay,
With Sheridan ninety miles away ?
VI.
Their oruel and thirsty carnage o'er,
Backward the warriors ride once more;
They pilfered the lightuing from the skies
And Hooded the country with flaming lies,
In these words blazoned all over the laud:
"We have met a hostile Indian band
Five hundred, counting women and all,
A hundred warriors armed did fall;
The frontier's safe, for we gained the day
With Sheridan ninety miles away."
vn.
There was joy in the camp of Sheridan
When the branded minions appeared again,
With their Osage allies,! drunken with blood,
And the liquid hell-fire's maddening flood,
Came leaping and shouting around the fire
With the gory scalp of the Indian sire;
Like demons they danced till the dawn of day,
And Sheridan there, not a word to say.
VIII.
The maiden moon took time to unfold
Her silvery bow to a diso of gold,
When Sheridan rode, 'neath her shining
shield,
Seeking his dead on the bloody field;
Their souls like a vapor before his eyes
Arose, with a shivering, sad surprise,
To show where their forms were shrouded in
blood,
The prey of the wolves and the vulture's food.
Fifteen days did brave Elliott lay, J
And Sheridan ninety miles away.
IX.
All honor to those who with sword or pen
Else np to defend the rights of men,
Who succor the weak and battle the strong,
Sustaining the right, denouncing the wrong,
Who would fly the Indian's life to save
From the lawless murderers' conquering
glaive;
But chiefly honor the glorious three,
The valiant sons of a nation free.
One, far in the fiery, flaming south,
Who flew to rescue from death's dark mouth
The hunted few of an Indian baud,
When the Texan Bangers were close at hand;
And him, the special and martyred one,
I Whose name now shines like the flaming
BUD,
And him, the youngest whom gold could
not buy,
The glorious "white man that would not lie,"
These, these, would have rushed the carnage
to stay,
Had they been a thousand miles away,
x.
But for this deed, this one without a name,
Columbia bendeth her forehead in shame;
And the blood that was shed one name shall
eflaoe,
When the angel of fame on her scroll doth
trace
The deeds of the great, the wise, and the
goodi
Then this day's work will be well understood;
And over it all with a bnrning pen,
IVaslng the reoord of Sheridan,
Write, Moke-ta-va-U who dared to die,
Rather than basely ntter a lie,
Whose pleading women and children were
slain,
In the light of morn, on the bloody plain,
By a mounted host of merciless men,
Under orders traced with a faithless pen.
Making this a "St. Bartholomew's day,"H
And Sheridan ninety miles away.

".Not being the worst, stands In some meed of

t VIII Stanza FIfteeu days afier the at
tack upon the village, the deitruoiion of Ufa
and property, and the shooting of hun
dreds of ponies, tho troops maicbed back
to Camp Kupply, reporting: Major Klliott and
seventeen ot his men missing, their fate un
known. After waltlnir fifteen days, the bodies
0' these men were cared lor. It seems that
Klliott and his men, Uoubtlea Ignorant of the
real character ol the Indian Village, disdaining
to molest the women and children or property,
engaged in a band to hand encounter with tbU
warriors. Not being (.UKtained by the command,
otherwise employed, they were cut oir and
and abandoned.
i IX Stanza The glorious three.
Major-Gcneral Oeo;ge U. Tromas, who oom
tcarcled at Camp Cooper, Texas, tome ten yers
ago, made a forced march of one hundred miles
with one hundred and twenty cavalry, to pro
tecla village of Uamancbes from Itay lor and
three thousand Raugerg that were inarching to
destroy them. Ueueral Thomas was successful.
He tbeu marched In the rear ot lue Indians
hundreds of milfs to shield them from the
Texaus. This gallant snd cnlvalrlo ollloer has
recently, to the shame and disgrace of the Gov
ernment, bad buerlduu promoted over him.
Alpjor-Oenersl John Sedgwick, who fell du
ring the war of the Kebelllon, rendered similar
service ou the Plains in the defense oi the Arra
pahoes at about the same time; aud Colonel
Edward W. Wyukoop live years inter in behalf
of the Cheyennes. This young ollloer is often
spoken of by the Indians as the "Tall chief that
don't lie."
Other officers might be mentioned for similar
services, among them Generals Z. Taylor, V.
H. Harney, aud Alfred H. Terry. The last men
tioned, two years ago, with as rong head, heart,
and hand, squelched a conspiracy in Montana
to exterminate the Crow Iudians; auin, the
next summer, flylnir across the plains and up
the Missouri river as fast as steam could carry
him, to rescue a Sioux village from the border
Bettlers juH removed from tho command of
the Department of Dacotah to mmke room for
Hancock, whose blundering has already cost
the coun'rya dishonorable conflict with In
dians, hundreds of lives, aud millions of dollars.
Captain Silas H. Soule aud.Lteuienunt 1'hillp
H. Sheridan, in Oregon ten years sloce, might
also be referred to in this connection.
j X Stan.a "Ht. Bartholomew's day." On
St. Bartholomew's day, i!lih of August, 1572,
during the reign of Charles IX, a massacre of
the Huguenots took place In Paris, followed bv
others la the different cities and provinces
of France. Thousands wero assassinated.
Three) officers, Henri de Ravole, Governor of
Provence; the Viscount D'Orthez, Governor of
Bayonne: and St. Ueran, Governor of Auvergne,
reluhed to obey the orders of the king. At the
baud cieek musisacre, before referred to, there
were tbree officers who protested against at
tacking the Indians, Captain H. S. Houle and
Lieutenants Cramer and Baldwin. Soule was
afterwards asbasslnatcd in Denver, Colorado,
for his efforts to save the Indians on the field
and his evidence afterwards. At the massacre
of the V lunula, there was none to protest, no,
not ore. This affair claps the climax In atro
city, cowardice, and infamy; it stands by itself,
without a single redeeming feature to relieve
it of Its damning blackness. Now, as a conse
quence, the nation must be prepared to gather
Us harvest of death and dishonor. It cannot
be otherwise; the Indiana will make common
cause against us. They must do It. and no
man of honor can blame them for so doing.
No people ever lived and suffered who had a
greater necessity or belter cause for war than
the Indians have to-day. And tho blood that
will be lost and treasure expended
will be the result ol the folly and atrocity ot
our army ou the frontier, and the failure of the
American Congress to legislate In such a man
ner as to remove the ban of outlawry from the
Indians, the chief and only cause of our diffi
culties with them. The President, with the
best of lnteu tlons In tho world, contemplates
(so reported) calling upon the Soolety of
Friends to aid him iu the seleciioa of proper
officers for the Indian service. Agents cau't
make the laws, nor enforce tbem, until the laws
are made and power given them to see that
they are rigidly emorced; that Is the duty of
Congress, and unllU.'ougressacts iu the matter,
trouble will be the consequence. Several
noble men and women have ulso done good
f ervice In thl cause, iminn tbem President IT.

A NO TABLE DISCO VER Y.
Remain or an Immense Animal Vn
eanliai. From the Davenport Iowa) Gazette, March 23.
A curiosity was unearthed three miles west
M ll 1. . It. - A 3 . .
oi tuia city yesieraay, iu the bluff through
which the new grade of the Chioago, Rook
Ialand, and Paeiiio Railroad ia being pushed,
which will stir the thoughts of savants and
others who are fond of delving into the mys
teries of palicontology. Along in the after
noon, Mr. C. II. l'aiker, one of the grade con
tractor, overheard a laborer remark, "This is
a qnare piece of wood, anyhow I" The man
was holding a large pieoe of horn or tusk,
which had nearly dropped upon his head from
the steam shovel. Mr. Parker immediately
stopped the shovel, and told his men to take
their shovels and dig for more of that
"wood." They soon nnoovered what was
evidently the base of a tusk or horn. The
KAin wan 4 tv fat Inner an1 am n1 fwaa

quarter inches in diameter at the larger end.
A continuation ff h four or five inohes long in
the earth was also exposed, but itorumbled to
dust when touched. This was attached to a
mats of dark substance which is thought to be
the bead of the animal to which it belonged,
nd which will be dug out to-day. Mr. Parker
then hurried to the place at which earth had
been dumped by the cars loaded at the spot of
discovery, and was so fortunate as to find an
other section of the task two feet long, and
tapering to a diameter of two and a half
Inches. The piece held by the laborer and the
larger portion excavated dovetail their broken
ends exactly, but two or three feet are lack
ing in carrying out the symmetry of the tusk
to a union with the pieoe found at the dump
ing point. The steam shovel, whloh penetrates
two feet of earth, had struok and broken the
horn (we call it), and had it not been for the
remark of the laborer, disoovery of it would
not have occurred.
The pieces in possession of Mr. Parker are
four and a half feet long, and at least four
feet more of this rello of amammothof anti
quity are m'seing. So the thing must have
been at least eight feet in length when it was
upon the live animal. It was found eighteen
feet below the surtace of the earth, and lay
imbedded between strata of blue and yellow
clay. Careful search for the missing portions
which were carried away by the dirt oars will
be made to-day.
The relic is not ivory, it is horn; when
scraped has the dark appearaanoe of ox-horn,
and emits the odor of burnt horn when fire is
applied to it. The pieces are hollow, though
portions are filled with what must have been
man ow now in a semi-petrified state.
JJopes are entertained of finding a oompanion
to it when the other side of the head is
reached. It is evidence that thousands of
years ago there existed here animals compared
with which the elephants of nowadays are
small creatures. Mr. Parker has the pieoea
described above in his room at the boarding
house of Mrs. Davis, on Fourth street, three
doors west of the Pennsylvania Ilonae, where
they may be seen.
Other discoveries of an interesting descrip
tion have been made during the progress of
the work at the bluff where the above dis
covery was made. For a distance of several
hundred feet the excavation has followed a
dark soil buried thirty feet under the present
surface, and resembling it, which was in re
mote agea the real surface of the earth at that
place. Upon this stratum of earth number
less pieces of Norway pine, elm, cedar, ash,
and hemlock have been found, besides several
I-ieces of what appears to be grape-vine. Dr.
Parry has many of these pieces of wood in
his possession. In truth, the different strata
of earth through which the steam shovel has
delvedould repay a visit by palaeontologists,
and afford them new subjects of thought
and abundant evidence of ancient life on the
earth.
