INDIAN G1UT1TUDK.
In the fall of 1868, wbllo I was carry
ing n dispatch botwoon two temporary
posts on tho Arkansas rher, and when
midway between the posts and twenty
miles from cither, at the hour of noon, I
came upon an Indian lying on the ground
between two of the monotonous ridges
on the plains. I saw him while yet forty
rods away, and I know that he was
doad or unconscious. Before I got to
him I discovered pony tracks, and knew
that he had oome there on horseback.
I reached tho body to' find tt that of a
young buck about S3 years old, and for
some time I bcllovcd him dead. Hs had
been shot through the head, as I sup
posed, as one side of it was covered with
blood, and while I sat on my bona aud
looked, down on him a doaen or more
buzzards were sailing in the air about us,
waiting for tho feast I was rather re
joiced that ths force of hostiles was re
duced by sven one, for erery Indian was
a hostile in those days, and I was
about to ride on when thesupposed dead
is an uttered a groan.
I was down beside him in a moment.
I had a bottle of brandy and a canteen
of water, and when I bad poured soma
of the former down his throat, and Used
the latter to wash off some of the Wood,
he opened his eyes and looked at me In
a way to prove that he had bis senses.
I could speak the Sioux dialect liks one
born in the tribe, and I presently asked:
"Who aro you, and bow cam you to
be in this condition?"
Why don't you kill me!" hs asked is
repl.
'have no with U harm you."
But the white man and Indian are
enemies. We kill whenever wo can."
If I found you sesking my life I
should try to take yours. As it is, yon
arc almost dead, and I am willing to
aid you in any way I can."
He looked Incredulous, and composed
himself for the death blow; but as I
mixed some water and brandy and hand
ed it to him, and again investigated the
nature of his wound, hs finally explain
ed that he was amemberof Little Crow's
band. Tho Sioux tribe, as a tribe, was
then split up into half a dosen bands.
each under the leadership of a sub-chief.
Ha would not fully explain what had
occurred, but told me sufScient to enable
me to supply the rest. Ho had attempt
ed to run off with on of the sub-chiefs
three wives, and had been pursued, over
taken and left for dead. The bullet had
not entered his skull, but had plowed
through the scalp clear over bis head,
rendering him unconscious for several
hours and making a terrible wound to
look at.
I took needls and thread from my
pack and brought the scalp together
and stitched it In half a dosen places.
It mutt hare hurt him terribly, for I
worked away as if mending a slit in an
army blanket, but during the whole
operation ho never uttered a groan.
Whtn I had his head in shape- Z divided
my luncheon with him and was amazed
to se what an appetito be had. As we
finished I said:
You are not able to travel, and if you
were you are defenseless. What do you
propose to do?"
"1 cannot return to Little Crow's band
for a time, if ever," ha replied after a
moment's thought; "as my white brother
says, 1 am weak; and without even a
knife. Let him tcu me his plan."
"I should advise you to lie quiet near
the water hole for a day or two, I shall
return this way inside of two days, and
then you will be stronger. Here is one
of my revolvers to protect yourself with.
You can also take this blanket and the
rest of my meat and crackers. I shall
make for this spot as I return, and I hope
to find you."
No' Indian will give bis feelings away
in his face if he can possibly prevent it,
but this young fellow mads no effort.
Ho looked his amazement ,and incredu
lity, and even as he held-tha revolver in
hbi hand he stared at me as if he could
not comprehend my motive. Wa were
enemies. I had not only succored him
when I found him helpless, but had
placed in his hands a weapon to enable
him to take my life. He could not help
but suspect some duplicity on my part,
until I turned and rode away.
It was 8 o clock In the afternoon of the
third day when I returned to the water
hole, and failed to find my young war
rior there. I waited for a full hour, but
be d(d not show up. I wss going away
feeling very bitter toward him. when 1
discovered a trail showing that a large
war party had passed there the day be
fore, and I knew then that he had either
Joined it or been driven away. Ths scone
of war was aim ting every cay, ana by tne
next Spring I had almost forgotten the
incident. Ths facts leaked out In one
way and another, and for a time I was
the butt cf ridicule of all the officers and
scouts. My greenness in supposing, an
Indian Iiad any gratitude was bad enough,
they said, but the idea of my giving him
food and a weapon brought down the
house.
During the early part of summer of
the next year I was detailed as one of
the guards to accompany the stages
over a certain distance on the Braoky
Hill route. There were from three to
six of us with each stage, according to
the demeanor of the Indiana, who, at
times, seemed determined to prevent ail
travel. A skirmish of some sort was an
very day occurrence, but one after
noon, as three of us were riding ahead
of a stage in which were three civilians,
we were ambushed from a out or ravins.
Ths party of Indians numbered twenty-
one, and they did a very singular thing.
My two companions were shot dead at
ths first volley, while my borte waa
killed. They did not molest the stage
at all. although it could have been easily
eaptured, but 1st it go tur) turned thtlr
attention, to. m.e,
Whon my horse want down I took bis
body for a breastwork and opened a
rapid lira on the advancing Indians,
while thn stage driver whipped up his
horses and was soon out of sight. No
one man, no matter bow brave and wall
armed, could be expected to stand off
such a band of Indiana vary long.
kiUod one and wounded another, and
than they scattered and circled mi,
This deprived me of the protection of
my breastwork, and, knowing that I bad
no show whatever of rescue, I steed up
and signaled the foot of my surrender,
It was taking a chanoe, but it was th
only thine left I bad reason to believe
that they would hold me a prlsonsr for
a few days before disposing of me, and
it was between suioide or hoping for an
opportunity to escape.
The bond came crowding tip as I sur
rendered, and my first reception was
better than I had hoped for. They did
not, as a rule, feel as bitter against tto
staffs POQple tmd gtfard as they d-d
weapons, submtttM to be bound without
a word, and was then mounted on a
pony and stationed in the center of the
band as it rode oft to tho northwest
This was about two hours before sun
down. After riding for an hour, during
whioh several Indians questioned mo in
regard to the soldiers, wo united with
another band of eighteen, who wero liid
den away in a dry run about three miles
off the stage route. We had scarcely
ooms up when I recognized In one of the
warriors the young buck whom I liad
cared for at the water holo the year
previous. Ho gars me a sign of rucog
nitlon, and with It a signal that wo woro
to bo strangers. Ho was one ot the first'
to declare my identity as a government
ssout, and to argue that I ought to bo
put to the torture at once.
Several other young men agreed with
him, but the older heads would not listen
to anything of the kind. I was greatly
shocked to find that this second bund
held as prisoners a white man named
Cooper and a boy named Peters. Tlioy
bad been captured together thirty miles
away while punting for a lost horse.
Tho man. seemed dull witted, and did
no apparently realize what was in store
fos him. The boy, on tho contrary,
keenly appreciated his danger and was
all unnerved. He was only 18 years old,
pale and sickly, and when I saw him in
tears I could not reproach him, although
I warned him that he would subject him
self to the contempt of the Indians and
provoke them to administer greater pun
ishment At dusk we all got off together in a
norihwetorly(directlon, and aftar riding
A distance of eighteen er twenty miles
we reached an Indian camp on a creek
running into the Solomons river. This
creek is called "Wolf; "Bear," "Crow"
and several other names, but military
records speak of it'os Snake creek. It
was Black Eagle's vulage, and numbered
about fifty lodges, but only the Old men
and boys were home. All the warriors
wero off on the warpath. About half a
dozen, two of whom were wounded,
cam in, hewever, ,twb bouts after our
arrival, and nsst morning I saw one
band of fourteen come la from the east
Each prisoner was "plae ed in a different
Suarter of the Tillage.'1 A family ntar
le center of the village vaoated a ledge
for my benefit, and when left alone I
found myself sosocurely tied that I could
neither more band nor foot. A warrior
was placed on guard at the door, and
after an hour or two of rejoicing tho vil
lage nettled down to sleep. I could take
no other position; except' to lie on my
right side, and1 tho thongs pained mo so
that I could not, sleep. I, was facing the
door of the Jodgf , and it was within half
an hour of daybreak, when a voice whis
pered in my ear:
"Let my brother keep up a stout heart!
I will seesr to release him when night
comes again. B
It was ths vpjce.of the warrior I had
suooored many months' ago, and he had
entered the lodge from the back side. 1
had sojk dsjtectetbe'nlightest sound, nor
in his withdrawing ocfald' I follow him.
Th goar.aii the,, d?or .appeared to be
asleep, ba it I bad bosn able to work out

Morning dawned stwri after my visitor
left, and thjjhola village bad eaten

hour a Warrior cam in, untied mo, gave

Probably there to ho occupation Id the
world that gives a man such an easy
life and large ptofittfas lecturing. I
don't suppose that six horses, harnessed
abreast, could draw me from tbe plat
form. It is just like lolling around In a
June meadow, picking up gold dollars
instead of buttercups. Now, last Tues
day night I lectured in Granville, N. Y.i
didn't leave a dollar in the town. Nest
morning I got up si 4:43 o'clock, got
into a buggy, piled a vaUso weighing 409
pounds no, sir, I won't take off one
ounoe on my feet, and drove eleven
miles through a pelting, driving rain
storm, over muddy roads to- a station on
tho D. and H. O., that has a train five
times a year. At Granville they have
one eTery spring.
Do you know, some weeks, I have eat
still in the cars, one day after another,
from 8 a, m. to 4, 8, 0 or T p. m., with
out moving, save at meal time? How Go
you supposo an active man, fond of walk
ing, enjoys that sort of thing? Iftexiotigh

Oh, can I? Do you remember reading
about the remains of a well dressed man
found in tbe Geneeee river, who waa sup
posed to have falleri from on Erie train
while passing Fbrtago Falls? Weil the
last time that man was seen alive he bad
lifted my MtO ton "said 400 pounds a
little while ago" I said toes both times)
you can look back and see he had lifted
my 600 ton valiea from my sent and
crowded himself in on me for what b
called "a little chat." I enjoy
tion, but not in a boiler factory. If you
were having quiet conversation in
your parlor would you like the ohOdren
to come in and make at mnoh ttoise aa a
railway train? I trow not. Wefl, I
drat like It either, The man who wastes
time trying to draw me into a conversa
tion on a roaring, crashing, baszing
railway train will get much better re
sults, and quite as pleasant ones to him
self, If he will hold his naked eye otrt of
the window and look for cinders.
"But why don't I trafel at night and
take tho sleeper?" Because. Imbecile.
night Is my time for work, and I leoturo
only in towns wbcro the sleepers either
go through in the afternoon or thaex
press trains don't stop, You might as
well ask the patriots to have their torch
light processions In the morning. And
as for sleeping in a sleeper, oould you
sleep in your bed at home if it was about
as wide as a coffin and T feet from the
floor and 23 inches from ths celling, with
pillows 23 Inches square and a blanket of
8 inch felt, and somebody shook and
swung the bed all night and at faterrsU
a freight train, blowing a whistl and
ringing a bell, ran through the hall and
jumped down .stairs, and once ov twice
in the night they pulled year house out
of the lot and jammed ft up.agaiasi an
other house, and just as you got calmed
a truck inspector should come under your
window and yell, "Try year a" aria
then some men should crawl unde th
bouse and hammer and pormd end
wrench at the joisSa for twenty minutes,
and then the engineer should "try his
air" again, and the men under the bouts
should yell "Whoopf" and th man un
der your window should yell, "Whoop!
Whoopee t Shut her off, BtSt" And
then your house should groan and grunt
and bump, and then go roaring and
whirling off down street 85 or 40 miles
an hour? Could you sleep? Well, that's
sleeping car slumber to me. And, you
don't like to occupy a room with any

A Boston girl, who knows all the famous
litersxy man and women thora, told m
an amusing little experience of two high
lights, Jsmes Russell Lowell and Horace
Gouddsr. These two gentlemen war 1st
a crowded horse car on' their way to
Cambridge one day. Two very queer
dames sat opposite to them, and they
wsre.talklng in a loud tone. On waa
saying that In tho well known picture, of
Longfellow's children the arm of on of
the children was "cut off."
"But that ain't true," exploded her
companion. -
"Y, Indeed, it Is true," returned th
ethsr.
'."Let" murmured her friend, in aa
a wad tone.
At this point Mr. Lowell thought it
time to interfere, and he, In his courteous
mtjinar, explained to th woman who
had mad the falsa statement that the
had bttn xnitinformtd, eta, etc.
She' looked at our elegant ex-minister
in a most withering manner, and said
with seam and loftiness indescribable:
" 9no rich thing. I had it from tb
bard!"
Thr was no mora to bs-said after
this, so Mr. Lowell beat a silent retreat,
but he tells th joke with keen relish.
