In the autumn of 1S7I, an expedition vri organized to es;.Iire the almost unknown region of tlie Vcl. iw-tone Valley, and re port upon t'te p.siiii ity of lo-.-a-ing pro posed crossings over the Mi-souri. The party consisted of General It imd a pteffof a'out twelve enj:ine?r, with team Bters, cooks, etc., and an escort under the command of Gjueral Vi , of several companies of U. S. Infantry, otne Gatlin guii", and a company of Indian scouts (I).i cotah or Sioux). Tne country t he trav ersed was unknown, and full of Si mix In dians, professdiy hostile to the proposed railroad, and determined to oppose it, on the valid ground, that the hunting, their pole means of sustenance would be evidently spoiled. Owing to a peculiar circumstance, though only l.-avin b;en a very short time in t..e United Slat. s, I had t!te o.Tor of an njipoint- rr.rnt on G.-nial R "s engineer corps : red as sueii an o;tpo ti.nity of seeing tne country rarely presented it-all, 1 gl'-dly availed myclfof it. It wxs hardly my firs; exjicrii ni-e of trate'.. as I had already visit :d m-iny parts, including Ai:stra!a-ia ; b.;i this was a new experience, and having in youth, like most Ertg.ish boys, had an in-ten-e desire, ire tlcated and lostered hy t:-c marvellous books of Co ip;r, May ne ILdl ond others, to se: the nohie savage in hi.s own domain, I was delighted with the op portunity. Thtec guides who prore-sed to know t!ie country wei-e engaged; hut tliey were of sei ved, if we had sec.ird the seinces of one or two more, we should have been hopeies. ly lost; as it was, their peculiar avocation .seemed to be to minlead us, and malign each i other, and it was found that, by put.ing i two uiid.T arrest, and then ignoring the ! other, we facilitated ojr movements cou I f-idcrahly. ! We rendezvoused at Fort Rice on the Mis 50a, i as the troops were dialled in compa : cies from the different frontier forts and ' marched there, or came up or down the river, as the cae might Ie, in flatb mts 1 and left September 8, 197 1. The great object was to prevent surprise, as with our I forces, unless tre Indians were able to con ! cent.ate their bands, we were tolerably safe j from open assault; so on the line of march 1 we had skirmishers constantly thrown out, nnd b?yond them, riding up every eminence, a cordon of scouts to give notice of the slightest Indian signs. For several days we Faw none, but knowing the facility with j which the redskins hide, and the secrecy ' of their movements, we never could be as sured there were none about. Many of the officers, and particularly General XV , had been selected on ac count of their having seen service on the frontier, and being acquainted with Indian wiies ana straingeiii , Mm i".i "- "-j " mnh w. over, sitting in the mess tent t , 1 . . n n . t II I . fit. . 1 ' t - J , , .1 . 11 -fter a meal of antelope steaks, that would line Oi senu - v J " deed, but not always eueciuai w jrecin purprisc). the first impulse of any one, if by any chance he did wake up in the night, was to carefully feel Ins lieaa, ana ascertain . 1 - ..r.,r I.

"uc J corps and one company ol ini'aiitry as escort, was engaged taking levels and observations along the dry bed of a river, on each side of which rose a hilly country, w ith boulders of granite sprinkled at intervals (relics of the ice perio 1), looking as if some giants had been pelting cash other with rocks; and a few scattered shrubs at long distances from each other. Fringing the river was a very thin belt of lit;ht cotton-wood, and uni'e -growth of hiilb.rry bushes covered with clusters of biJghi red aud ourrant-like fruit. From the high-water raarlc, plainly visible by the washed-up debris of beaver-cut logs, etc., the river had, after the spring rains, been one of consideiable depth and swil't-r.e-; but now dried by the summer sun, lit.le was left but a few pools at intervals, and a spongy bottom , of the nature of quick sand, n jt at all calculated to facilitate the crossing of the heavy train and artillery, that constituted our main body. This of course necessitated a ddour for them, and a comparatively easier lmreh across the pla teau of prairie county beyond the hills, which was taken, b th parties agreeing to meet at a little eminence, visible some miles oT, and there pitch the camp. Naturally, in following the course of the river, our way was very devious, while the train made as straight a course as possible. After an hour or two, I stopped for a time behind the rest to take the topography of one of the hills, and by the time I had finished, saw they were too far off to follow, and accord ingly started off across the wide country, with a vic-w of m.iki.ig a cou.-se to the pro bable locality where the camp would be pitclel. I went along quietly, not b -ing at all anxious to arrive before the teii were up, the "correil" of wagons made, and the eisbt or nine hundred mules, which consti tuted our draught-power, safely inclosed, picking up at intervals on my way pieces of petrifiel wood, mtrss abates, or some of the small pieces of g'-anite of countless va riety of shade and Color, which characterize that section of country, till I found myself on the top of a higher point of hill than any of the surrounding ones. IIa ing in my course described the chord of the arc represented hy the direction of the movements of the train, I imagined myself to have n -arly reached the proposed camping-ground, and after lighting my pipe, sat down and looked around. The sky wa intensely blue, not a cloud to be seen; all around, the connt'-y risc and fell in fnnta-tic shapes ; far in the dis tance rosea cloud of smoke-like d 1st, mark ing the progress of the train, and the dark line of cott m-woo I trees, dwindling off to a mere thread in the distance, showed the course of the river. The chirp of the cicada, and humming of various insects, seemed the only signs of lifi; unless the lazy wav ing of the prairie-grass could be so c til; d, arid I felt very much alone. The sun w:is hot, and feeling tired I laid myself down behind a large boulder, some four feet high and rather overrcochinsr, and fell nsle.-p. After I suppose an hour's rest, I nwok.', nnd R.-rthig t.p Io )ked around to ascertain the position of the train, and see if they were making preparations to cam). The sun was lower, and the column of dust nearer than when I looked before, but they were evidently on the move still ; the rifles of the advance-guard gli-tened at in tervals, and in the rear the commissariat becve, guar Jed by the commissariat "buil punchers,'" dragged their weary lengths along. Still looking round I saw three or four black objects on a nearer hillside, and after a hasty reconnoitre discovered them at once, from their appearance and manner of riding, that they were mounted men and Indi.ins. A "good'1 or friendly Indian is very sel dom met with on the plains, and none would be likely to feel well disposed towards one of a party who had an avowed intention of crossing their hunting-grounds; so I imme diately made a dive, flattened on the ground, and crawled under cover of a rock, from which I cautiousiy looked, hoping they had not seen me, and trusting to their going another way on the approach of the train. The reader may imagine my feelings when I saw them ride straight towards the bluff I occupied. I am not covetous, bat certain ly never wished more for the sole possession of any piece of land than I did of that hill ; still, I never thonght they would ascend to the top. but merely felt they were too near to be pleasant. From behind the stone I looked, exposing as little of myself as possible, when, to my intense honor, after a short conversation at the bottom, they began to ascend. Care fully dragging myself along, so as to make as little trail as possible, I wedged myself in nnder the rock, beneath winch I had hen bleeping & few minutes ago. hoping nurainst hope that the near approach of the troops wol f prevent the.n making a Jong stay, and trying to imagine they would not dis cover me. "What would I not hare given at the time for my wc-ll-leloved and trusty Winchester repenting rille; but, alas! it was then. I knew, carefully placed in a luggage-wagon; my only weapon was a French Lefituchaux revolver of the pepper-fmx species, not re liab'e; and rendered still less so, by some horribly bad German pin-cartridges I had purchased in St. Paul'-. Minnesota, for it; not to be depended on f. .r a ninment. in short, when accurate shooting was indis pensable. However, I at once took out all j the cartridges, reload.! the weapon very ccrefa'ily. and cocking it q.iietfy, lay there, shadowed and sheltered by the rock, aud awailcd the tesult . . - 1 '( Thoughts ol'all the cruelties 1 knew were practised oy the aioiix on their captives, and the impossibility of ni.ikhig anything like a fair and even fiht of it as they all had rifles or carbines, tan through my mind; nnd even then, amid all the horror of the situation I could hardly repress a smile at the thought of the painful dissapointnsent the reds would fed in endeavoring to "lift" my hair, a, in accordance w ith a habit con tracted in the E i-t Indies, it was little over three quarters of an inch long, certainly not long enough to afluid sufficient hold for them to take my scalp. I eannot say how long I remained in this position : perhaps a few minutes, but it Prettied hours. Thought of home, and phices I should i;eter see again, fla-hed through my mind ; and the idea of dying in that way seemed all the more dreadful, as 1 thought of the proximity of the troops, and bow little they were aware of my fate. Vague ideas as to whether my body would be ever found, floated through my mind, amid a general piling up of mental agony. I could hear the footsteps nearer and nearer, and the gjttural grunts of the ridders were more distinctly audible as they approached the top, and in a few more seconds, I was aware by the sound they had readied the summit, and had, as I judged, dismounted. Can a much more unpleasant situation be supposed? Within a few feet of Tiy savage enemies, who would certainly not pay any attention to the etiquette of civilized war fare, whose language was unintelligible to me, and mine to them, and the certainty of being discovered by their keen ryes the mo ment they had looked around the surround ing country. I must certainly confess to a very bad scare ; all sorts of wild schemes re volved through my brain ; rushing down the hill in a desperate efi'ort to escape and reach the train presented itself, and was di-miswed as vain and futile. Then the calmness of desperation seemed to cune, and with a vague, dreamy feeling of pitying myself as one in a bad way, I lay revolver in hand, meditating whether it would not be better to reserve t'ie last bul let for myself, so as not to fall aiive iuto the hands of savages. At last the climax came. An exclamation from one showed an object of interest, and I could hear them cluster t getlier, and talk rapidly. From the inflection of their voices. I knew they had discovered something. What could it be? In a moment I remem bered ; in my haste I had left a small inetal matc'.liov (.tn old traveling compardjn) where I find lit my pipe, and it had been discovered. Then, foot-teps were heard all round, and close to my lnding-p:ace ; so drawing a long breath, I jumped up wiih my pistol presented, and confronted an In dian certainly, and a Sioux, too but to my intense relief I recognised the peculiar fea tures of "Tartanka Morza,"1 or "Iron Buf falo," one of the scouts attached to the ex pedition. Our mutual surprise was great. I never felt so lovingly di-posed to an Indian in my life. He himself could not tell what to make of the apparition of a white man sud denly springing from behind a rock, with such a decided 'y hostile appearance ; and we stood looking at each other, till with the intuitive perception of an Indiaq, the whole thing seemed ti burst on his mind, and we both exploded into a roar of laughter (it i a mistake to sty red-kins do not laugh), in which the rest joined. Sitting dow n, wc discussrd the affiir by pantomine over a pipe, and then seeing below the wldte tents rapidly rising, and dotting the neighboring hillside, while the bugles made tbein-elves heard sounding halt as each company came np, denoting the stoppage for the night, I strolled lei urely down the hill to rejoin my friends, nnj having got over my fright, amused them that night w ith the story of it. Catching A Thief. The following expedient for catching a thief was adopted in a provincial town in England some thirty years ago : A miller residing near a place called Beverly, whose place had be'en entered for some .time previously almost every night ; and a considerable quantity of grain ab stracted, hit upon a very ingenious expedient for the detection of the offender. The means of ingress was by putting a finger through a hole in the door, which uplifted the latch. On the night in ques- ' tion the miller set a large lox-trap, and j hung it inside the door, so that the thief i would be obliged to touch the spring in 1 opening the door. Having taken this precaution, he left it for the night, and on going the following morning his expectations were realized by findinsr a fellow suspended from the door by I bis finger! The miller, after severely ad ! monishing the thief for his crime, and I taking in consideration the sufferings the poor wretch had undergone, gave him the choice of abiding by the law, or receive a good horse-whipping. It is needless to add that he preferred the latter alternative, which the miller admin- 1 istcred, with the full power f a stalwart man. TnAT was'a rather unpWstnt sanation in which Moses M. Stearns, a diver, found himself in Bo-ton Harbor, the o.her day. lie had gone down in his armor, when a vessel near him gave a lurch and be was thrown, to the bottom of the sea, while the tube for supplying him with air became so entangled as to be useless. He, however, seized the tube n haul -d ; himself to the surface, just in tiue to savt I bis life. The Irish Tost-Boy or 1SS3. In the Irish post-hoy w e arc not presented With the white-jacketed, silk-hatted, top booted, and bright-spurred gentleman we are accustomed to in England, as trim as his own horse, and as silent, till he touches bis bat to get hi fee for driving you. The Irish post-boy is as scanty in Lis attire as he is abundant in his intelligence, having always something to tell his passenger of the locali ties they pas through, as though he took him for a book-maker, who was taking notes upon the way. He fulfils a double function ; he is guide as well as driver, and his humor often lies as much in what he d.iesas in what he says. He will commence something in this fashion : "Do you see that house, yer honor, yon der ? I suppose you know that's Mr. d'Arcy's." "Yes ; I do. Mr. d'Arcy is very rich, I believe?'' "Well, sir, maybe he is and maybe he isn't." "Why, I thought he was a man of for tune?"' "Well, you s?e, he was purty well off, sir, till he got.howld of the property." "Till he got it ! What do you mean?" " Why, sir, when he was heir to the prop erty he had great expectation, and so, on J the strength of that, you see, be got w hat ever money he wanted." "Well, so he ought, when he was heir to 5,000 a year." "That's truej yer honor, that's true, sir! But then, you'll understand, that he was heir to JL'5.000 a year that was spint." "Oh, t see!" "So, when he got the property, of course, the gintlenian was ruined." "Hiilo ! take care you were nearly in the ditch then." "2ever fear, sir ; it's that blackguard mare that is always shyin' ! Ilirrup !" "How chise her ears are cut." "Yi. they are, sir oh, they're cloe enough; but nothing will cure the vil lain." "Cure her ! How do you mean 7" "Why. sir, I persaved that whenever she started she always cocked her ears up, so j I cut them off, you see, to make her lave off the trick of stavtin', but badluck to the vagabond, she's j 1st as bad as ever she was." In a particularly dangerous part of the road, with a precipice on one side of you, you observe the post-hoy keeps an inquir ing elanee towards his vehicle. W hat s the matter you inquire, 1 "rather an awkward bit of road here." "Oh, it is nothiu", sir ; it's a grand pros pect," "Yes of going over. Why, it is some hundred feet to tiie bottom."
