Dorr, in Harper's Young Folks, FIGHTING THE SIOUX. In tlie summer of '77, after hating pent a couple of months in the mining camp, of the Black Hills, in one of which I had bartered wajr moat of my worldly possessions for well "soiled claim, I chanced, one day, unfortunately, as circumstances afterward proved, to Ienru that a party of miners were to stnrt to the Dig Horn mountains, whero it was reported au unusually rich dis covery had been made. At that time the flotsam contingent to the population of Peadwood amounted to several thousand, and the air was charged with rumors of gold discor Olies and encounters with Indians. The story that gae rise to the Big Horn "stampede" was a Tery seductive one. Charles Lions, n frontiersman of eoino notoriety, had just mado his op. pearance iu Dead wood with the report that he with three other prospectors liad discovered exceedingly rich dip pings on a sinnU stream tributary to Powder River iu the Big Horn moun tuins. But on the very day they lo cated the mine they were attacked by Iu. tliaus, and he thought his three compan ion were killed on the spot, while he es caped by the merest chance. He proposed to guide a company to the mine, provided they would furnish him with n saddle horse, a pack pony, and a mouth's provision. He commenced to recite his story to one man on the street ; lie was soon surrounded by a crowd ; and before he had told it twice there were dozens of men ready to subscribe money enough to purchase all he required and join hi expedition at once. It was thought best to restrict th com pany to fifty men, as a small body could travel faster than a large one, and there would be a better chance for each to get a good claim. The Sioux nt that time mnraudin about th Black Hills were small bands that would steal away from the agnucies, and after doing some depredation, slip back again. Old Sitting Bull aud tho main force of his warriors were across lb border, enjoying the protection aud hospitality of the Canadians. Th men who had furnished th money to buy Lions an out it were anxious to be off at once. I knew nothing of the expedition till they were nil gone, but as soon as I learned the direction they had taken I started on their trail. There is nothing which so fixes the confidence of gold hunters with regard to rumors of new mines as to learn that men who have been there have come in quietly for supplies and are trying to slip away again. I had a yoke of Cherokee cattle and a light wagon. There were three men with me, two of whom had ponies : the other one travelled on foot. They eagerly agreed to give me ten cent a pound for hauling their blankets, pro visions and uteusils, and were to pay in dust when thoy took it out of the ground. We camped at Spear Fish for the night. During the evening three teams passed us with two men to each team and sev eral horsemen. They were the sheriff and his deputies in search of a horse thief. The next morning we wore on the move as soon as it was light enough to follow their wagon tracks. Our way lay aero a rolling tableland covered with Bags brush. We had pursued our courso but a short distance when w saw a horse approachiug at a full run, with bridle and saddle but no rider; he ran straight to us, and was apparently greatly frightened. He was assigned to the foot man, and we resumed our journey. A mile or so further on we came to a trunk which lay burst open by the side of the trail. In it, and scattered about on the ground, were a number of letters. On young follow, Harry Brown by came, became so much interested in thee that he coutiuued to read them while the rest of us rode on, thus falling a mile in th rear. In the meantime, we had roached and passed th body of a man who had been recently killed, and lay scalped by th trail We knew at one that Indians wore near, aud folt no surprise when we discovered a small band of thorn on some rising ground about a half mile ahead. They had noted this man in our rear, and headed tholr ponies down a ravine with a view to cutting him off. Anticipating their designs, ws stopped and signalled our companion to speed on ; but our signals were unnecessary, for al though Harry could not see th savages he had reached the dead man, and was already putting his pony to its best speed. The Indians bore down on liira until they were almost within range of out Sharp's "old reliables," which were lev elled at them from the opposite side of our wagons, when they drove oil and al lowed him to join us. "By Oeorgel that was a narrow es spel"he exclaimed, when safo in our midst. "I hope it'll teach you to be more car' M in future," suid cue of the others, a griEzled old gray beard. "It bents all how foolish young chap.4 are. Brown was silent; ho realized that ho had been near death, and shuddered when, a little later, we passed two moro dead bodies. We had all been some time on tho frontier, yet wo drew a breath of relief when we came to the border of the pla lean and looked down on the encamp iiient of men of our own kind, who had taken strong ground ou a small valley iu a bend of the lied Water. The dead n.en wo had seen were a part of the sheriff's party, who had beeu to the encampment and secured the stolen teiim and one of the thieves, and aftet waiting for daylight, had started back, only to encounter the savages. The trunk and letters had been the property of th prisoner. It is probable that dur ing th flight tho officer cut the cord with which he was bound ; but his doom was sealed ; the poor fellow met a hardei fate than he merited. Meanwhile, the sheriffs horse mado liis way into Spear Fish, and the blood with which the saddle was stained told At once of foul dealing. A courier posted into Deadwood, where a company of about forty well armed men was soon raised, aud just before sundown they reached our utrty. We broke camp at once and returned to Deadwood, taking up the dead men on our way, and carrying them as fai as Spear FUh, where thy were decently buried. Night came on while we were crossing the tableland, and as we could a- !, t,,.1,,..' .1 1 .I-. t 1 : )luces they were evidently arranging lor a united attack. After a few days' delay we started again, this time with a company of two hundred men. The horseman were re quired to do the scouting, and the men with teams to do picket duty. I inuring iiib ur.ti we una inreo ckirmishes; in tho first two of our men were killed ; iu the second, one man was wounded ; in the third our stock wai stampeded, and they stole several of out horses. As we appronched the Crow Indians' country the Sioux censed to harass us; aud finally, after more than a month's travel, we reached tint gulch where w nil hoped to speedily jrnin a fortune. But here we were doomed to dissapoint ment; Lions' story was largely a pro duction of his Iniiigiiinlinu, and when we had satisfied ourselves of the uttel worthlessness of the country for mining purposes, we were glad to go iu a botlj to Fort Custer, which was then in pro cess of construction. All who wished it found employment at the fort. Some continued down the Bi Horn to the Yellowstone, where they took pas sage on a steamboat for the States. But the greater uunib r journeyed ou to the settlements of i:p;r Montana; fortu nately our way iu that direction lay across the reservation of the Crows, a tribe which has always beeu friendly to the whites. Verty-Dollar Bills. A game with which Assistant Postmas ter James Gayter is familiar from his long aud varied experience is that of the man who says in his letter, " I enclose five dollars," and then forward th mis sive without putting the money into it. Th fellow' lotter arrives without th enclosure, and then a vigorous com plaint is made to th postal authorities. Sometimes it is impossible to prov whether the money was placed in th. letter or not, but occasionally the inge nuity of a post ofllce inspector lays the echeme bare. Mr. Gayler has discomfited not a few men who were loud in their denuncia tion of the mail service, among the cases being that of a dissipated soldier. Ha had lost his pay by gambling, instead ol sending it to his wifo. He boldly, how ever, wrote to her, saying that he en closed eighty dollars in the letter. The page was smeared with mucilage, but the envelope contained no money. The wife made a complaint to the post office authorities, and Mr. Qayler was in structed to look up tho case. He did so, and happened to call ou the womat when her husband was at home on a fur lough. The man was positive that he had put the mouey in th envelope. "In what denomination wer th bills?" Mr. Gayler asked him. "There were two forty -dollar bills," answered the soldier. "Are you sure?" "Yes, certain," said the man, And Mr. Gayler spent no more time on th case, except to offer the soldier fifty dollar for every forty -dollar bill h could find. The Irem Duke's Presence f Mind. One day, as th Duke of Wellington sat writiug at his library table, quite alone, his door was suddenly opened without a knock or announcement of any sort, and in stalked a gaunt man, who confronted the commander-in-chief with his hat on aud a savage expression of countenance. The duke was of course a little vexed at such an unceremonious interruption, and, glancing up, he asked, "Who are you?" "I am Dionysius," was the singular answer. "Well, what do you want T" ' Your life." Mylifo?" " i "Yes; I want to kill you." "Very odd," said tho duke, sitting bach and calmly gazing at tiie Intruder, "Not at all, for I am Dionysius, " said the stranger; "and I must put you to death. "Are you obliged to perform this duty to-day?" asked the commander-in-chief ; "I am very busy just now, and have a large number of letters to write. It would be very inconvenient to-day. " The visitor looked hard during a mo meni'e pause. "Call again," continued the duke, "oj writ and make an appointment." You'll be ready?" Without fail," was th reply, The maniac, awed doubtless by the calm bearing of the stern old soldier. backed out of the room without further words, and half an hour later was safe n bedlam. Salt will relieve slight nausea. Tbe Great Aroeric&i? Hog la welcome abroad one more, and abroad he? may go. As long as Lard wai a requisite in every kitchen, the Great American Hog was highly esteemed at home ; but now that modern science has introduced COTTOLENE the new vegetable substi tute for Lard, poor Piggy's occupation's gone. The reason for this is threefold. Cqttqlene is cleaner, healthier and much more economical. A trial has convinced thousands as to this. It will convince any "convincable" person.
