Amid Immense Ire lines.
A letter from Gen. Miles' commnnd
says : Early on the rnoining of the
twenty-sixth the raft, which liml been
constructed with bo much lnbor the even
ing before, won by great exeitiou
launched into the rapid torrent of the
Missouri, and towed a couple of him
ilred yards above the mouth of Squaw
creek, where it was desired to (-fleet a
landing. Here Gen. Mile, accompanied
by Lieuts. Baldwin and Pope, got on
board, with a crew of twelve men armod
with long cotton wood poleB, and pushed
out on the perilous voyage. As Boon as
the raft left the shore the difficulty of
the passage fully appeared, the depth
of the river boiiis; so grout that the
twenty feet poles little moro tlinu struck
bottom, and the current a!mo:t carried
overboard those endeavoring 1o use
them. Rapidly borne down the swift
stream, making but little progress, the
raft passed Squaw creek before linlf the
passage " was effected, and below frail
ice extended out fowtird the center
of the river. Still the men worked
vigorously, when suddenly the raft
Was carried with immense force full
Upon a huge snag, ami with a fearful jar
stuck fast, the men being nearly thrown
off by the shock. To add to the horrors
of the situation a rapid firing was hoard,
and the cry that tho pickets were firing
arose.
A more desperate situation could
scarcely be conceived. Imprisoned on a
frail raft in the middle of the most dan
gerous of rivers, with a crowd of un
armed men close by, huddled together,
and the prospect of au attack from the
opposite shore staring them in the face,
huge blocks of ice rushing down upon
the craft all combined to form a situa
tion of utter helplessness. However, the
clear voice of the' general rang out above
the clamor, ordering the assembly sound
ed, the banks lined, the cause of the
firing ascertained, and a boat (which had
been constructed from a wagon bod
covered with canvas) sent out. The
canvas-covered wagon bed reached
the raft, the men using spades for pad
dles. The rope which was to be stretched
across the river was on the raft, and the
central position was of advantage as one
point of fastening. The wagon bed was
then sent over to the opposite shore with
the rope, and was secured. The object
. next was to reach the other bank, and
the attempt was first made to reach this
and then to reach another snng half way,
but it was discovered that there was not
sufficient rope. Another wagon bed
boatwa3 constructed, and sent out with
additional rope. This actually succeeded
in reaching the first one sent to meet it,
and the desired juncture was effected
when the swift current capsized the
boats, the second of which was so rapidlv
filling that the rope attached to the north
bank had to be loosened.
It was now progressing toward even
ing, the party on the raft having been
in their narrow prison all day ; many
having slipped through the interstices
in the raft were wet and cold and numb.
An abandonment of the enterprise be
came absolutely necessary, else a night
must be passed in the water. The river
above seemed to have just broken up, for
immense ice floes began to sweep down,
striking the raft and boat with terrible
force, until one field of solid ice, cover
ing a third of the river, came booming
down the raging current. The outer
edge alone struck the raft, while the
main body bore down directly upon the
men in the boat. The huge blocks
warned those on the raft that it was high
time to make for shore, and drawing in
tho rope from the opposite bank the raft
was loosened from its snug, the first boat
manned, and the boatmen paddled for
the shore, while tho poles on the raft
were vigorously plied. The craft, with
its thoroughly tired human freight, was
haulel in about a quarter of a mile be
low the scene of tiieir long imprison
ment. Are Brave Men Ever Frightened!
Gen. V. G. Hardin j, of Tennessee,
says that on one occasion, visiting Gen.
Jackson, he asked the gruff old soldier
in the course of conversation if brave
men were ever frightened, adding :
" The world, and especially those who
know you best, accord yon as much
courage as belongs to man." Geiirrat
Jackson replied : " If that 1-e so, sir, I
would say that I have boei as badly
frightened as any m,m ought ever to be.
It was sii", when I fought" fh: dm l witi.
Mr. Dicldn; on. In the first phv. sir, 1
hid no unkind feeling against Mr. Dick
inson, and no disposition to injure a hair
of his head. I had gone as far as an
honorable man could go to avoid the
difficulty with Dickinson ; lie had not iu
jurod in, and therefore I had no ground
of complaint against him; my qunrrel had
been with his father-in-law", Col. Ervin.
I knew Dickinson to bo a brave, honor
able gentleman, and the best shot with
the pistol I ever saw far better than
myself, for I was never an expert with
that weapon. I knew that ho could
sho.it quicker and truer than I could. I
therefore went upon the ground expect
ing to be killed, and I owe the preserva
tion of my life on that occasion to tho
nshions i if the day, for I wore a coat
with rolling collar and very full breasted;
but, fortunately for mo, sir, I was or
ganized with a very narrow chest.
Dickinson's ball struck very near the
center of my coat, and, while it scraped
the breast bone, it did not enter the
cavity of tho chest. In an instant, under
the impression that I was perhaps mortally
wounded, an I upon the impulse of the
moment, I fired ami my antagonist fell
and no event of my life, sir, have I re
gretted so much. My determination be
fore and after taking position was to dis
charge my pistol in the air, but because
I felt the effect of his shot I fired at him.
J U3t here, sir, let me add that the world
lias done me great injustice, for I am
charged with having brought on the
difficulty, and with having fixed the
terms bo as to reserve ray fire and ad
. vance ; and it charges me with having
advanced upon Dickinson and shot him
wlien I was wfthin a few feet of him all
of which is false, sir. I fired iustuntlyJ
alter receiving ms snot, aim irom my
position j and Dickinson stood in his
position and received my fire like a brave
man as he was."

Four Men Blown to Plccei.
The boiler of a portable Baw-mill at
Alford, Ind., exploded just as tho men
were going to start the engine, the ex
plosion killing lour men and wounding
as mnuy more. Tbo engineer was blown
through the top of a large oak, and
struck a limb of the tree, his clothes
catching nnd the body swinging over the
limb till the clothing tore away, and the
body fell to the ground. A boy was
blown in two, the top of his head blown
off and the brains scattered in every di
rection. One man was smashed. The
lorgst piece of boiler was found about
two hundred yards from the mill. An
other piece, the fire box, was found as
far away in nn opposite direction. The
cause of the disaster is unknown.
FIRM, HARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
Domestic Hints.
Hop Strup fob a Cough. To one
ounce of hops and one pint of water, add
one tablespoonful of flaxseed. Tut all in
a situcopou and boil it till reduced one
half. Strain it off, add one-half pint of
molasses, or, for those who prefer it, a
quarter of a pound of brown sugar. Boil
this until it becomes a thick syrup.
When cold, take n spoonful nt a time.
Furniture Polish. If you wish one
of the simplest and best, get a pint
bottle and fill it with equal parts of boil
ed linseed oil and kerosene oil; any drug
gist has the former; mix and apply with
a flannel, and rub dry with a second
flannel. It will remove all scratches and
white marks made by bruising. Destroy
the rngs or keep in sight( as oiled cloths
have been known to ignite spontane
ously. To Bake Beef. Lay the meat on
some sticks in a dripping pan or other
vessel, so that it will not touch the water
which it is necessary to have in the bot
tom. Season with salt and pepper, and
put in the oven three or four hours be
fore it is wanted on the table. Baste it
often with the water in the bottom of the
pan, renewing it as often as it gets low.
This makes sweet, juicy, baked beef.
The great secret of it is, not to have the
meat touch tho water in the bottom of
the pan, nnd baste it often. Tough, un
compromising pieces of beef are best
cooked by steaming them an hour and n
half or so, and then putting them in tho
oven and baking as much longer.
A Timely Soup. Boil in a saucepan
two quarts of oysters, season with whit
pepper, four blades of mace, a bay leaf,
a pinch of cayenne pepper, a lump of
butter and a -little water; when done
drain on n sieve, chop them flue, and
save the liquor; in another saucepan
make a white roux with four ounces of
butter, six ounces of flour, cook slowly
for live minutes, then mix well and care
fully with the chopped ovsters their
liquor, a quart of veal or chicken broth,
a quart of boiled milk; boil five minutes,
pass forcibly through n fine sieve and
boil again; if too thick, add more broth

Molded Crushed Wheat. While the
boiled or steamed crushed wheat is still
warm, pour it into molds slightly wet,
and let it stand several hours, or until
quite cold and loose at the edges; then
turn it out on a dish of corresponding
shape, an oval mold on a platter, a
round mold on a plate or saucer; if to be
dished on the table, use a large mold; if
to be brought on already dished, teacup
molds, served in saucers with trim
mings, look nicely. After cooked wheat
is once cold, it cannot bo warmed and
mashed up with hot water and then
molded; long steaming only can restore
any of its fluidity, but even then it will

Fowls ou the Farm.
Fowls often do well when colonized
with cattle at pasture, and a dry knoll j
may be excavated for a home for them, j
A wooden roof sh mld be built over a i
stone foundation, farmers might aver
age 250 fowls if all such places were
made available. Boys should be encour
aged to breed and care for the chickens.
It will afford good schooling, and they
will learn lessons that will be of great
use to them when they come to the
breeding of animals, for the same laws
are applicable to both. They should be
taught to breed " in line," but not too
close. Close breeding for three years
will cause the eggs to unfertile. Breed
every year and change old 6tock for
new. Young fowl3 pay much better
fhau old ones. Brahmas should seldom
be kept more than two years, if one is
seeling the greatest profit. Never keep
.uore il.au one hundred grown chiekeu3
in the 8;ime yard, and if of different
ages not so many. Twelve or fifteen are
enough to occupy one coop. Oae-sided
and drop-hipped birds avo produced by
crowding them in too close quarters.
They may also slip their hips down by
rowdiug between tho sluts of their
coops.
Cleaning Seed (.mill.
It will pay to sow the very best Feed of
au Kinds, as l know from trial. 1 clean
it thoroughly through tho faun'ng mill,
to get all the weed seed and small and
light grain from the heavy, ami have a
side spout for the mill, so I can take out
t'ie heavy, plump grain and bow the very
best and keep it free from weed need.
There will always be enough volunteer
weeds without sowing them, aud if farm
ers would generally be more particular
about seed grain, they would get well
paid for it. The grain will grow taller,
the heads longer and yield more. It is
just as necessary to tuke the best grain
for seed as it is to take the choice corn or
potatoes, or to select the best cattle,
horses and hogs to breed from. Now, in
the winter, when we probably will now
and then have a leisure day, is a very
good time to prepare seed grain and not
wait until wp are crowded with spring
work. If we wait until we want to sow
it, tho chances are that it will not be
cleansed as well, aud perhaps not at all.

Color for Butter.
The best coloring for butter, writes a
correspondent of the Country Gentle
man, is a good mesa of corn chopped
with cut hay. My butter is a rich yel
low the year round, from this feed, and I
have no Alderuey or any other fancy
stock, but common East Shore cattle,
which give an abundant supply of milk
and butter; good feed is the secret. If
farmers feed on dry fodder and Btraw, and
want yellow butter, they must uso what
s.ime of my Alderney friends do a small
quantity of annatto, costing ten cents an
ounce, enough for several hundred
pounds of butter. Dissolve in a little
warm cream; adds few grains of super
ctrbonato of foda, which develops the
peculiar yellow principle of the annatto,
which I think is the base of all the color
ng matter for butter.

The Charm of Simple Cookery.
English cooks overdo everything, and
the great charm of a French dinner Is
the simplicity not of its dishes only, but
even of its sauces. An Euglish cook,
for instance, puts butter into her apple
sauce, and considers that every joint
ought to lie accompanied by three vege
tables at lcBst, if not by four,
The English host is never so proud as
when he sees upon his table some gor
geous dish, such as a salmon a la Cham
bord, or ft Normandy sole. Now, carp
a let Vhdmbord, or chub a la Cham
bord if chub is to bo eaten nt all is all
very well; for lean and muddy fish re
quire thus to be dressed up. So, too,
when a sole is not quite so fresh ns it
ought to be, an ingenious cook will
smother it with mussels, oysters, truf
fles, onions, mushrooms, and a hundred
other such garnishes. But fresh salmon
or a fresh sole, cannot be cooked too
plainly nnd simply.
We spoil half our dishes by this Eng
lish barbarism. There is, for instance,
only one way to eat en artichoke; but at
au English table artichokes are literally
served as a vegetable with the meat. As
paragus is similarly desecrated. Salad
is taken in conjuuetiou with hot meat,
nnd as often as not on the same plate;
while the Euglish idea of salad is that
you cannot thrust too many different
kinds of herbs into tho bowl together.
The result, of course, is that encli neu
tralizes the flavor of the other, and what
we get is a jumble of lettuce, onion, tar
ragou, endive, cucumber, beetroot and
celery, all mixed up together.
The French, who know better than
this, allow some one herb to predominate
distinctively in every salad. Too much
art in cookery may be as fatal as too lit

Forty-six Bullet Holes In One Man. i
The Greeley Sun says : Thomas O. j
Mncy, of Greeley, returned home from ;
his freighting trip to Custer and Dead-;
wood. At Cheyenne the party were j
joined by two men named Stevens and j
James Iteed, partners, and one Fritz, j
from near Boulder. Thev went in com- i
pany to Hat creek, 157 miles from
Cheyenne, where the main party camped,
Fritz, Stevens, Reed nnd two others go
ing on eight miles further to Indian
creek. About eight o'clock in the even
ing they were fired into by Indians.
Stevens and Fritz fell, aud the other
three started for Hat creek, Pveed being
pursued for some distance. He heard
firing for sometime in the direction of
the camp. In the morning Maey and
his party went to the scene nnd found
Stevens lying ou his back with forty
six bullet holes iu him. Fritz was shot
through the chest and head. The flour
and com had been emptied in piles on
each side of the wagons, aud the sacks
nn l wagon cover and some sugar carried
off. The gnus of the party, one an ex
cellent Sharp's improved", had been
broken over the wheels.
History of a Picture.
Two of the most celebrated artists the world
has ever know dwelt in the same city. One
delighted in delineating beauty iu all its graces
of tint, form aud motion. His portraits were
iustinct with the charm of physical vigor. The
graceful, half volnptious outline of form and
feature harmonized with delicately blended
tints On his canvas tho homeliest faces had
an almost irresistible charm. The other found
pleasure only in depicting weird and gloomy
subjects. Above all, did lie excel in painting
the portraits of the dying. The agonizing
death throe, the ghastly face and form, were
all depicted with marvelous fidelity. There
existed between theso artists the most inteneo
dislike. At length this dislike culminated.
The beauty loving artist had been engaged iu
painting the portrait of a beautiful woman.
Connoisseurs pronounced it the most wonderful
piece of art that had ever been produced. His
brother nrtist was jealous of bis fame and
sought revenge. 15y bribing the keeper of tho
studio he gained access to the picture each
night. At lirst he was content to only deaden
the brilliancy of the complexiou and eyes,
efface the bloom from cheek nnd lip and paiut
a shadow on either cheek. Later, his strokes
grew bolder and freer, and one morning the
artist awoke to find the entire outline of the
portrait changed. He could scarcely recognize
in the emaciated form nnd haggard counte
nance the glowing conception he had embodied.
The pallid face and expressionless eyes he had
attributed to a lack of genuineness in his ma
terials ; but when the outlines were changed he
suspected the cause and indignantly dismissed
the keeper. What the revengeful nr'tijt marred
by a few rapid strokes of his skillful brush was
only restored by years of patient industry.
Pieader, need we name tho artists Health,
who paints the flowers aud ' grassy carpet"
no less than the human form divine disease,
the dreaded artist who revels among the ruins
both of nature and Immunity nnd Careless
ness, the keeper to whom Health often intrusts
bis portraits. And is it not the Iwantv of
woman, the most admired of all the works
which adorn tho studio of Health, that Iiisente
oftcnest seeks to mnr? Tho slightest stroke
of his brush upon the delicate organization
leaves an imprint that requires much tkill nnd
patience to efface. Restoration must le
prompt. Carelessness must bo dismissed. Let
suffering women heed the warning ere Iiiseaie
has marred tho chief beauty Health revond
