JJI.LTAL BUTCHERY.

WRENCHED OUT OF THE WORLD. .A Colpred Woman Murdered py Her Divorced Husband . witrx a Monkey Wrench, . JEALOUSY TUE CAVJSE OF TUE CRIME FOURTEEN HOLES FOCNP IN HEB HEAD A CRIME MOST HORRIBLE A SPEEDY INDICTKNT FOUND BT THE GRAND JURY. The moät brutal murder, with the exception ot perhaps the Cluck tragedy, occurred yesterday morning at 9 o'clock In a two story brick house on the alley running north and south back, of the Academy of Music. It was cold blooded in the extreme, and otthat class of murdere which makes everyone utter the opinion that tbe perpetrator ought to be stretched up. There are no mitigating circumstances in this cae at all. and even the murderer's best friends are not loth to express it as their view's of the case that the murderer should meet with tbe full iorce of the law. His name la Jerre Monroe.and the victim, bis divorced wlfe,Sarah Monioe. They are colored and very well known among their people. Tbe bouse in which tbe murder occurred is occupied by Airs. Ellen Scoll, who does quite a large laundry business. The 'divorced wife of late has been employed by Mrs. Snell, and yesterday morning cams to work at seven o'clock. About nine o'clock Jerre, who is Mr. J. II. McKernan's hostler, left bis employer's stable, which is about fifty feet up the alley, and came around to the back door of Mrs. Sneil's house, where be accosted that lady with "Will you wash a shirt lor me?" Mrs. Snell replied that she could not, and Monroe stepped inside to the center ol the room, still asking Ii ehe could . not wash a shirt lor him by noon time. Again the ldy replied that it was impossible. Monroe bad a monkey-wrench in his hand dur ing the Ume plaJiQK witD Jt while he laughingly importuned Mrs. Snell to wash his shirt. By tbe time she bad given him the positive and last answer he had moved back again toward the door and just back oi bis wife, who was standing with her face in another direction by the side of a wash tub. Phil. Miller, and a woman named Mrs. Roberta were standing across the room in full sight of all the other parties while Mrs. Snell had her back turned to the loor. Phil.Miller and Mrs. Roberts saw him playing with the monkey-wrench all the time he was In tbe room, and as he neared the door he suddenly drew back his arm and strack Sarah with the nipper end ot the wrench A TERRIBLE BLOW. She sank to the floor between the wash tub and the wall with a lroan. The blow was so sudden and unexpected that Miller and Mra. Roberta were struck dumb with terror, while Mrs. Snell turned hurriedly about, having, as she said, kept lrom looking at Monroe all the time he was in the room, "because ene had no use for him," and, seeing what had occurred, got between the prostrate woman and tbe brute, as he certainly appeared to be then. He was attempting to strlfee hi wife again when Mrs. Snell interfered, and by eo doing upset the wash tub. He caugbt her dress by the shoulder and held ber back with the power of a lion while he struck bis wife on the head eight or ten times In quick succefs'OD. Tha tub being upset gave him room to stoop down by her side, and with short stroses.out naru, use a blacksmith pounding on an anvil, he beat the life out of the poor woman. Tbe first blow was a terrific one and dealt while the woman was net looking. As soon as he delivered the last blow he threw down his wrench, and walking out into the alley surrendered himself tolwo citizen.", who, a few moments afterward, turned him over to Officer Roland he was taken directly to the police court. The hideous lrenzy that seemed to be on him vjhile beatirg the woman passed off just as he got out the door. Below is a diagram showing the position of the persons in tt room: Door. t "Monro. i 1 ar&h. nVash tub. Window. Mrs. Snell . .m 'Ph. Miller. Mra. Ulberts. Onco while Mra. Snell was stinging to pull fciui awav irom his devilish work, be missed his victim, and striking the window sill, broke it in two, so severe wa3 the blow. The body of THE BLEEDING WOMAN was carried into the front adjoioicg room and Drs. Blackledge and Derupsey called in. Alter a moments examination they said she uM not live but an hour or so. The head iw as beaten so that with each gasp or breathl i tbe blood flowed from tbe mouth ot tbe un- - conscious woman. Barely three boars alter tbe deed lhe died, never having reSarned to consciousness during that space of time. When Monroe arrived at the City Court he was rdaced in the prisoners dock, and had the stoical indifferent appearance that, when seen In a man who has done some desperate deed, makes one shudder. The notice of the death of the woman ha.1 not been received when he was called up -vefore the mayor and consequently ; lw was bound over to awIt the results of .thetrtjaries, the amount of the bond being yolaced at fö.OOO. He was placed in tha county jail. A reporter for the News was th6 first to carry the Intelligence to MonToe of tue death of his wife, and the reporter tells HOW HE RECEIVED THE WORD OF HER DEATH .as follows: He received the news with some show of feeling, saying, "I'm sorry; do you think they'll let me see her?" A negative being given by the jailor, he replied, "Love done this; I loved her so well I couldn't live without her." And then be further continued, "I suppose dey'll bass mo for this, and it's all right, but won't they do something with John Martin? Ha's the cause of me and my wife getting into this scrape, and we wouldn't be where we are ii it hadn't been for him." Several times he reiterated, "She's dead, is she?" "dead lor a fact?" "dead?" "dead?" and once or tw ce the tears swelled Into his eyes, but tbe emotion shown was slight." Several months ago Monroe became jealous of Jonan Martin, a bod aanitr, and on night when b went to ii horr.e on Colombia street, be bad a quarrel with lis wife aud she cat him with a razor. He r rK lüoi that Jmati Martin waa in the house at the time, and that when he went into tbe room Jonah was standing with his .arms around Sarah. Tho colored people who are acquainted with tbe facts say this la not so. and that Sarah proved it to be unthereby esraped from the charge of assault and battery

with: intent to kill, which was preferred against her when arrested. The couple were married four years ago, in Richmond,

Vs.. and as Monroe was a miner be came here at the time of a strike at Brazil, shortly after the marriage. He went to work for LB. F. Massey in the mines, and taere remained at work In them until about a ' 3 ear and a half since, when they came to this city, he going to work for Dr. Kinsier. Afterward he was employed by attorney Manlove, and last fall Mr. j. II. McKernan hired him. Durlcz the time thev were livinc on Coluin bia street near New York Jerre worked about the residence of Mr. McKernan on tbe Circle, and had tbe name of beinz a peaceable man. Now, sinee the murder, tbe colore people claim that he used to beat his wife when thev lived at Brazil. A few days after tbe fight in which he was stabbed, the wife filed a euit for divorce, lie did not answer the complaint, and accordingly, about one weeks aro. tbe divorce was granted. The wife has not lived with him since the fight, but has boarded at Mrs. Taylor', on Columbia street, working for Mra. Snell. THE CORONER'S ISQCE3T was held durloz tbe afternoon. No wit nesses were examined, as it was known tbe grand jury was Investigating the affair, Dr. Chambers held a post mortem examina tion and found fourteen distinct cuts on the head, beeiies ' wounds frcin several blows on the arm. The in juries ara all on the right Bide of the head, and body, provinsr what Mrs. Snell says in re gard to her falling down as if dead and the blows being so close together. The scars and cuts being on one side ot tne bead, as a. general thirg go to rrove that he was trying to kill her. Tbe fractures of the skull do not show the points of tbe nipper part of the wrench so much as do the scalp wounds. The two marks about a half inch apart show very plainly that it was tho nipper part ot the wrench. Larly in the afternoon Prosecutor Cropsey, remembering that yesterday was the lat day of this session of the grand jury, and also that delays are very bad for the prosecution in murder trials, he had tbe witnesses brought immediately before the grand jury. That body of men wrestled with the ose but a short time, ana. when thev made their final report in " the evening Jerre Monroe was iDdicted for murder. During the afternoon yesterday a Sentinel reporter had an INTERVIEW WITH MONROE in the jail. He is rather short in stature, and would probably weigh about 130 pounds. He has the regular African features, his nose and lips both being flat and big. He is quite black in color, and as for intelligence ii is easy to be seen that he 13 sadly lacking the very first princloles of sense and reasoning. He talks glibly enough, but all colored people do for that matter. His voice is not at all harsh, but, to the contrary, it is rather a pleasant one. After saying he bad hired no counsel, and adding to the story, as told above, of his life since he was married that "he loved Sarah for two ears before they were married," he told his story which is given in substance. He is 'M years old this month, and his wife is 27 years of age. When asked what grade ol color his wire was, he replied "ginger-bread." Several months ago be learned that Jonah Martin wa3 paying too much attention to the wife be loved so much. He was working for McKernan, but rented a house on Columbia street, in which he kept his wile. Time and time again he hadj susptcted her of being too loving with "Joney" as he called him. He used to tell her that anything she wanted she 6hould have if she would love no one else but him. Things went on this way until the night ot the fight. That evening Jerre went notne and found "Joney" with his arm3 around Sarah's waist and"tkhsin' of her." This was more than he could bear, and so he grabbed "Joney" by the coat and pulled him away. "Joney" struck him with his fist, and Sarah pulled cut a razor and cut him, once on the breast and once on the arm. (He showed the reporter the scars and recalled his memory to the night.) When his wife entered a suit for divorc, which was a few days after the tight, Jeire was cast into deep gloom, more because his wife talked eo bad to him than on account of the She told him occasions that she up her lite before she Jonev Martin." Well, he divorce suit. on several "would give would give up let the divorce suit go without beiDg attended to, which, perhaps, now that he came to think of it, was wrooe. Last Saturday nigbt he was talking to her about leaving furniture in the house b:a street. He told if "Jonev" was to some of the on Columher that have the use of it he would rather take it away. She answered that "3oney" was to do as he pleaded with her and that SHE LOVED "JONEY" better than any one else in the wcild. Said he, "I dunno how it is but I love Sarah better's m7 life. If she is dead I guess I ouzfct to die too. To think she should love that big nigger and hate me is mor'n I cm stand," and his voice was slightly husky. Yesterday morning, as his story goes, she came down-through the alley on her way to Mrs. Sneil's. It was about 7 o'clock as she parsed tbe stable in wbich he was at work, and he said to her, "Good mornln', Sarah." She said, "Good mornin'," also, and then I said, "How does you leel, Sarah?" and she said, "with my fingers, Jerre." Of course he like the answer, but had treated him in suca so much lately be did not pa teutlon to it. He went back did not as she a manner, y much atto his work greasing the carriage wheels, and after a while, he did not know how long, be went down to Mrs. Snell'3, carrying the monkey wrench in his hand. In answer to the reporter's inquiry if he did not pick it up just before he started, he answered, in an emphatic manner, no, and that he did not know he had it in his hands when he went into the house. Here he was asking Mrs. Snell about doing some washing or him. when he looked up at Sarah and she was "making a mouth at me and I conld not stand t hat, and I struck her once." "Did jou only strike her once?" said the reporter, aüd he responded: "I dunno If 1 hit her again, they say I did." He did not know 6ven if she fell to the floor when be hit her the first time. After getting to this point in his story he stopped, evidently from a choking sensation, and after a moment said, with tears in bis eyes, " I 'spose it was wroog, but 1 loved her so much." From the time the Sentinel reporter left him, which was about 4 o'clock, he would not taik with any oue about the murder, but remained in his cell moaning and crying. When the turnkey made, his last trip through tbe inside last night Monroe called to him from his cell, asking it he thought they would hang him. INCIDENTS. AUa'ternoon there were crowds of curious people in; the vicinity of tbe house where the murder was committed. Tbe brutal affair had been talked about all over. the city aad at ü o'clock mechanics, clerks and working girls crowded around the house in a vague hope of seeing the body. Once when a batch of about ten girls from the

Trade Palace rame to the door and begged to go in Captain Griffin consented. Tbey pushed their way through tbe door and tbe captain cloned it on them. It was not . more than a second before that door was b&iDg vigorously thrown opn from the inside, and ten glrl with very white faces came hurrying out and down the alley. During the afternoon 83 a Sentinel reporter was passing Pendrgrast's carpenter shop in the court-noune square. Pendergrast , wasj observed playins

with a small wooden model of a gallows. It was tbe one be made when it was thought Cluck would be hung in this county, and Pendergrast said in an absent-mmdedjway, that he had picked it up to look at. Ot course, said he, I know hanging has played out in Marion county, but hu looks did not justify the assertion. ENGLISH EXTRAVAGANCE. AMERICANS TAKE A HAND COL. NICHOLAS SMITH AND WIFE, MISS GREELEY AND ADELINA PATTIAT A FANCY-DRESS BALL. Conway, the London correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial, writes: Among other distinguished Americans who have stopped to s'p tbe delights- of the London season, I may mention Col. Walter Schuyler, of the United States army, who, however, unites professional with social interests, and is passing a few days at Alderscott. CjI. Nicholas Smith and his wife (nee Ida Greeley) and Mics Gbrielle Greeley are mingling with tbe great fcocial whirl here as if they liked it. They were present, a row evenings ago, at a charming fancy-drefs ball given by our eminent American artist and his wife, :Mr. and Mrs. Boughton, Col. Nicholas Smith haying appeard a? a dark, cloud-wiDged Satan of tbe Miltonic type, handsome enough to make a sensation among the daughters of Eve, while his wile recalled, as Gretchen, the story ot his brother Mephistophelean misdeed.. Miss Gabrielle Greeley wore an ancient Greek costume. But I am not going into a description of costumes; it would require a double-barreled Jenkins (enviable fellow!) to do any justice to the wondrous dresses Egyptian, Greek, Persian, Indian. Chinese, Japanese, medieval, French, German and English. Fancy dress balls have become the rage in London, but nothing I have seen or heard of has surpassed the splendid entertainment at Grove House. I may say however that a pretty compliment was paid by a pretty young dame who appeared in a costume copied exactly from Boug-btcn's beautiful picture of The Path of Itosns," now exhibited on tbe wlof the Academy. In this picture is peen A LOVELY MAID IN A BOSE GARDEN, with a cat, which ought to be happy, perched upon one of her graceful shoulders. She is clad in white and simple summery robe, exquisitely draping, at once concealing and disclosing the figure, with the old English infant waist, and the young lady who realized the ideal of the picture elicit9d much admiration. The fairy scene lasted tV nl&;bt, and the spirits, demons, witches aud fair shades of bygone ages who hadeo clev erly materialized for this occasion vanished only after tbe morn had tor some time been scented and the cockcrows had become general and peremptory. I have said tbat fauey dress balls have been much in vogue this season, but I do not believe that the fashion can ever be permanent ia England. The ladies and gentlemen are too elaborate in their preparations for them. Tbe dresses are too costly .JAt a fancy dress ball given a few evenings ago at- a mansion in Inverness Terrace, Patti made her appearance as Rebocca (of lvanhoe), almost clothed in dia monds from the waist to the crown of her heaJ; and among the two hundred superb costumes that were scores which can never be used on an ordinary occasion, that must each have made a deep bole in somebody's purse. In Paris, Florence. Rome. Vienna aud ott'er places, where fancy-dress balls are the favorite amusement, the pervading idea is fun and drollery, and tho costua.es are light, airy, audacious, but rarely expensive. Such balls' used to occur in this country also chiefly public balls but they were at tended with such excesses that they were assisted by the police to a gradual termination. Their reappearance now in private houses, masks not being allowed, indicates a real desideratum in London society, but tbey will have to fight against strong sump tuary considerations unless some ladies of fashion shall set the example of lees rich and elaborate costumes. THE DEAD ALIVE. A MAN WHOSE NECK HAD BEEN BROKEN WALKING INTO HIS HOTEL A3 WELL AS EVER AFTER UIS DECEASE HAD BEEN ANNOCNCKD. Under the aboe heading tha New York Sun publishes the following from its Worcester correspondent: Frederick Bitee, a brakemaa on the Norwich railroad, who was reported to have te?n instantly killed on Saturday afternoon b7 falling from a wood pile and breakinj bi3 neck, appeared at the breakfast table ot hisbcardisg bouse, the Farmers' Hotel, this morning, apparently in his usul good health, Tne wood pile from wh:ch Ritts fell was but ab -ul four feet liigü. Ha had just p. eke J up a handful of wood and was turning to throw it into tbe locomotive tender, when he reeled and lell headforemost loto the pane between the engine and wood pile, ftriking on the back of his head audtheu falliui; oa his back. He was takeu up in an unconscious conaition, and Mr. L. H. Hammond, who was instantly called, found the vtrtebne dislocated at the base of tbe brain, tie bone projecting and forming a lump as large as a walnut. No hopes were entertained of his recovery, and it was expected that deat n would result in a short time. Although Bates was unconscious, he was constantly swinging his head from ei je to side. He was taken to tbe city hospital, where every effort was made to reduce . the dislocation and restore tbe vertebra to its natural ' position. While these efforts were being made the patient's eyes became fixed, pulsation ceased, and be was to all appearances breathing bis last. Soon a!ter he was seized with violent vomiting, but there was no apparect improvement in his condition, and his death was looked for at any moment. A few houra afterward a friend ot Bates called at the hospital, and tbe attendant wh conducted him to the room where tbe supposed dying mm lay was surprised to find the dislocation reduced. He summoned Dr. Peabody, who found, on examination, that the vertebrae bad resumed its natural position. The patient soon regained consciousness, and conversed wUb the attendant in a rational man ner. He continued to improve during tbe night, and in the morning be sat up and ate quite a hearty breakfast. He was, however, no able to recall anything that bad occurred the night previous. About 8 o'clock, although not feeling very well, be asked permission to leave the hospital, which wa granted, and he returned to his hotel to all appearances in excellent condition, except a soreness of the neck. .

HIS WISDOM IN COUNCIli PUNISHMENT OF AN INSOLENT SCBORDINATK HIS DAUGHTER' LOVB AND pEATH. From the advance sheets of Gen.Busbin's book, thia account of the famous Siou cmer, fcpotted laii, is taken: vve were camped near North Platte (1338), and, in obedience to orders lor all Indians to remove from tbe country lyinz between tbe Union Pacific and Kansas Pacific railroads, Spotted Tail, with his band, had come in from tbe Republican. He had about 3,000 followers, and reluctantly consented to eo upon a new reservation, ills tribe was divided into two bands, Brule and Ogallallab Sioux, and there was so great a feeling of hostility between the bands that they did not camp together and held little intercourse with each other. I was told Spotted Tail was the chief of both, but that they seldom met and bad noteeen each other for some time, until tbey came together at our camp. In hunting Spotted Tail led one of the bands, while Walk Under the Ground beaded the other a3 a Kon of lieutenant to Spotted Tail. The Ugadallahs, or Walk Under tbe Ground's band, had ooly come in in obedience to tbe express orders ot the heed ei.iv-, and were restless and dissatisfied. There were some tcrmy scenes between Walk Under tbe Ground aad Spotted Tail, aud old i4Walky" as tbey called him, seemed several times on the point of rebelling against his superior. Walk Uuder the Ground did not wih to 1 save the Kepubiican country, and although his chief was reluctant to part with his old hunting grounds, still be knew it was useless to contend against the government, whichdt clared they must go, and had already brought its troops upon the ground to enforce its orders. Spotted Tail used every argument to convince his lieutenant ot tbe folly of resistance, but Walk Under tbe Ground was sullen and would not be convinced. About this time two things happened which added greatly to the ill leeling exi.-ticg between the chiefs and speedily brought matters to a head. A Brule had some time before stolen an Ogaliallah's wife, or, as the Brules told the story, an Ogaliallah's had run off from her husband and come to live with a yon eg Burle warrior, with whom she was in love. Be this as it may, the bands had not been many days in camp when, one morning, the deserted Ogallallah husband armed himself aud going to the Brule camp entered tbe lodge of tne despoiler of his happiness and shot him dead, the squaw bared her bosom and called out, "Since you haye killed him, kill me too." The enraged husband took her at her word, and drawing a revolver shot her through tbe heart. As the husband attemped to leave the Brule camp tho brother of tbe murdered man attacked him and fired several shots into his body, from the effects of which be died in a few monu ments. These TRIPLE MCBDEK3 caused great excitement in both camps, and for some unexpected reason Walk Under tbe Ground made this a cause of complaint against Spotted Tail. Tho old chief said th9 matter had been settled in blcod ; that the whole affair was alike disreputable to both bands, and that he could not take any notice ot the occurrence in the council. He declared the tribe was well rid of suca lewd and lawless persons, and tbat beiDg dad tha oflinse should now be forgotten by all parties, or, if remembered at all, only as an example and warning to others to lead peaceful and virtuous lives. Shortly alter the oc-curren-e above reUted, Walk Uudr tne Ground came to tbe cavalry camp, and, entering an officer's tent, began to converse with him. The chief asked for a drink ol whisky and was given one. Presently he asked for another, when the officer, kuowing the Indians failing, promptly refused to let him have any more. Walk Under the Ground soon became grossly insolent and abusive, and so enraged the officer that he arose from his chair and kicked the old fellow out of the tent. On his trying to re-en-terthe officer drew his saber, and, turning the flat of his blaae, caught the chief and gave him a tremendous thrashing. The Insulted Indian went at once to Snotted Tail's camp and related what had happened, asking in conclusion, if huch outrages were to bo calmly bo ne. Tne old chief replied that he was sorry for the ill treatment his lieutenant had received, and the affair was most unfortunate, but as Walk Under tne Ground admitted he had grossly Insulted the officer be had no one to blame but himself lor the unhappy manner in whh h ' his visit to the cavalry camp bad terminated. As Walk Under the Ground expected much sympathy from his chiel be was greatly enraged at this decision, and began to abuse Spotted Tail. Tne chief calmly replied: "When I go to see the white soldiers I do not drink their firewater, and they treat me kindly and invite me to eat. When yon go to their camp you Kt drunk and become insolent. If yon bad behaved yourself ia a proper and respectful manner joa would have nothlne to complain of from them, but as you got drunk and involved yourself in a quarrel you should not come here to make U a matter of complaint to me. You are a troublesome old man, and when you are drunk you have no sense lelt in your body. Because you get the worst of it iu a row of your own making it is no reason why 1 should either sympathiza with you or bring your ZZZZ DISGRACEFUL C0XDCCT before the council. Yon have more than once occupied the time of the council with trifling .and vexatious questions, and it is not proper that you should do so again. Go

home, keep a civil tongue in your head, and let firewater alone and your troubles will I cease." Oa hearing this plain language'.

irom nia enter, wane Under the Ground be came greatly olTended and upbraided him with CirlDg more to please the whites than ms own people. "ou are." said tha chief "willing to be kicked ana cuffesd about by tbe wuites, Dui i am uot, and 1 will ficht them. Once you weie a brave warrior and cared for your tribe; but now you have become old ana xeeoie you are the friend of tbe whites, ruu yuu are no iongsr a warrior, but a wo man." Unable longer to endure such treasonable and insolent langnage the old chief sprung npon his rebellious subordinate, aad before any one coald interfere plunged a butcher knife oeven times into his side and breast. Walk Under the Ground sunk down at the feet of his chief and almost immediately expired. As soon a he was dead Spotted Tail ordered tbe body to be pitched out of tbe iodjre and summoned the Brule chiefs, related to tbem what had happened, aau enceu vj naming one or them to sue ceed the dead man as chief of the Brules AH the other chiefs .at once gave in their allegiance to the new chief, and no one ventured to remonstrate or complain of the killing of Walk Under tbe Ground. Never theless, the dead chief was much talked about privately, and as ho had been u'.ar with the young men of the ban were sorely jrtieved at his deatb. I and threes they began to steal away by nfght and join the hostile chiefs. Spotted Tail nearug of this, called the warriors together and addressed them. He said: "Wneu I was young and my people were' streng I went to war with the whites. For vears w fought witn varying fuccpss, aad so long as there was "hope I continued the war. When I shw my people everyday grow weaker na weaser, ana our wnite en nines becoming stronger and stinger, I kaew it was lime to- stop tne war. A peace was mane, not from choice, but necessity. Itow we are tried war od failed. We hi us, now reeert . to negotiations, and if that does not avail we must nensh from th face of theoarth. l am an old man, but rim no coward. I fear no man. but veara have taucht ma nn ucuwj ana wisaom. i Know somo or vou want to go to war. but it ic Jolly to resist the w Dices, x am anxious to save the lives ot my people and to preserve the remmnts of my tnoesthat yet remain alive. Those ot you who will be well advised will REMAIN AT PEACE, but those of yoa who are still lorwor can now go on. There are still some days of the truce, but let those who wish to figt tbe whites go at once." Nearly three hundred young warriors withdrew in a body as desir ods of going to war. Spotted Tail addressed them again: "You do not wish to taka my advice. Go,, then, and when your honrof great distress and necessity comes, as come it surely will,, remember I an still your chief, and return to me. You will be ban gry and I will feed you. You will be naked and I will clothe you. You go cat mounted but you will come back footsore and weary. Most of you will never return alive, but such of you- as survive the conflicts of war will find meat Randall, and there you shall have a friend and a home as long as I live." lbe warriors then departed, and the old chief, having., discharged his public duty, returned to his lodge to mourn in silence the fate of his people. Durice the latter years of the war part of Spot ted Tail's family remained for a time at Fori Lsramie, and with them waj his favorite aaugDter, a young girl lust budding into womanhood. The fort was then garrisoned by companies of an Ohio regiment of volun - teer cavalry. Among tue otlicera of the reg and pleasant manners, and with whom the chiefs daughter fell In love. Her passion raent was a young man ol good apvearauce does not seem to hav oeen reciprocated by the young soldier, and be did all in his power to convince her that he cculd not marry her, and.therefore.it would be wrong in mm to pay his addresses to her. Iut the infatuated girl would not be convinced and could not understand why she, a princess and the daughter of the most powerful chief on the plains, was not a suitable wife for tbe young soldier. Day after day she would dress herself with scrupulous caie and come to the fort and see her beloved. It was pitiable, to observe her, as hour after hour she would sit on the doorstep ol the young omcer's quarters waiting for him w come out. At other times she would follow him about tbe parade ground like a dog, oemiog perfectly happy it she could only be near mm and enjoy zae poor privilege or looKinz at him. Spotted Tail, hearirgof tlnetracge conduct of his daughter, and deeply morti fied at her want ot self respect, hastened to tbe fort, and, rutting her in charge ol wms Kiua menus, oaae tnem carry ner on into the Rocky Mountains, where a portion of his tribe dwelt, aud endeavor in every way to make her forget her unfortunate love. She went away mookly enough, but fell into A DEEP' MELANCHOLY, from which no qffortot friends could arouse her. Presently she refused to take any food and pined away to a mere skeleton. One day a courier, whose hors-o wa? white with foam, sought the-great chief and told him that his daughler was dring of a broken heart, and wished to see him ones more be fore she passed to the happy spirit land. Away over the mountain aud stream hurried the chief, and paused not for food or rest until he reached the bedside of his beloved child. He found her still alive but fast sink ing, and she bid riim sit close beside her and bold her ile-miess hands in ms white suo told him all her simple story of love and suffering and a broken heart:: "1 shall soon be at rest, my father, and with those of our kindred who. have gose before, la tbat beautiml land l win wait for you and you will soon, oome tj join me, dear father; for your locks are whitened with years of care, you are fast grow ing old and tired. ' xou are a great enter, and have yet many warriors,, but th9 pale faces are more numerous th&n the leaves ol the forest, and I pray you to cease from war ring with tbem. Spare your people, my chief, rest yet a little while in peace, and you will have reached the end of your jour ney ot life and come to join me in tbe happy home w which I am now going. The pale faces are His people, and between you and tbem I hope war will never come again. And, O my father and my chief, when I am dead take mv poor, wasted body and lay it on tho hill beside the tort where I learned to love so well." Tbe pulseless bands grew cold as tbe great chief promised his child all she asked of him, then the lustrous eyes glaz?d over, the thin lips ceased to move.the smile fled from tbe wasted face,' and the Indian girl was dead. Tbe heart-broken chief bid tbe attendants drees the ' body of tbe princess for burial, and on tbe shoulders of stout warriors it was carried all the way toliSramie and laid to rest among the pal faces, one of whose race sbf cad so fatally loved. Her grave is still pointed out to tba traveller, and there it will long remain a monument to tha saddest story of tbe plaias. Spotted Tail often speaks of his dead daughter with affectionate remembrance, and once in a great council held with the whites at Laramie h said, "Were not the hornlessDe of resistance and the dictates of policy suüicient to restrain me from acts of war, the piedge I made to my dead child in fur dying hour would caus9 me to keep at peace with your people."

CAREUTH'S CASE.

The latest phase of this remarkable cee ia reported by the Vineland corrwpocdenJ of the New York Herald: Mr. Carrstb. the rrfltor of tbe Vlneland Independent, who was 3Lot Dy ueorge Jv. Laodis, the pilanthropist.in March lat, has now almost recovtred from bis wound, and Mr. Landi, his assailant, has taken up bis abode in this city since hi3 release on bail last week. The recovery of Carruth is regarded as a marvel in tba history of surgery, and has occioned muca wondering comment among uudical men. The siae of the bullet, its directtai after entering the brain, and the depth of penetration were all circumstances which seeaid to point to his death as beioz a certainty in a vervthort time, if not immediate! v. NT one, until lately, ventured to rredict'his re covery, nd t-e chances of the ntient wore bv hrw meopathicmen of medicine. His remarkable as it !., Is therefore regarded as a very important one for the interests or tbe followers of Hah interest is manifested in tbe history of thecase.

It will be remembered that on March iy LAnais fired the bullet, which entered the posterior of the bead, about the horizontal line and a little to the rigbtrranging forward and lodging evidently somewhere near tbe right eye, producing Instant un consciousness and causing Carrcth to fall heavily on ihe floor.. The ptm of the- wounded man were ecchyiaosed, especially the right one, and; for sometime it was a matter of doubt whether the fall on the floor was not lareelv tho- cans Rnt the extent and persistence of thi nvhv. caoais around the riirht eve was snrh. to gether with tbe direction of the bullet, it was concmaea it must be due to a frnrinm of a portion of the base of tha- skull a physician in the neighborhood had removed a lose piece of bone before Dr. E. R. Tuller, a homoeopathic physician, was. called b? the family of Carruth and took charge of the case. I3y the desire of Landia. Tir. firrI Jr.r the allopathic surgeon, also appeare J on me ionowmg aay. i, too, removed a piece of loose bone, but POtrSD THE BULLST INACCESSIBLE. Th patient had by thia time recovered consciousness, under homeopathic medication, and desired to be treated exclusively by the hors-epataic system, i-.pon which I was sctmmoned bytelearanh on tha second dav r(r the wounding. Iarriredon tha afternoon of the following day, probed the wound crefully,.and found tbe tall deeply embedded iu the brain, which hzA closed oyer its tra?k. riecognmnK tde tact that further exploration would certain! be nniuRtifmhl T ra8de ?

I then dreed She wound with referenco to the Dreveution of any untoward event taking advantage of its- position, to secure drain:2e of tba ineviole suppuration. Consulting with his fkmily physician, Dr. Teiler, we agreed upon the course of medication to be followed. The case progressed in as-favorable manner as we could have expected, but sometimes we were very much alarmed and despaired of Eaving him. The wound discharged freely es the healing process wens on, but It was- soon manifest tnat his vision- became Imrorfect on tha left sVie. with either or both eyes. His Dulse ransed at'firss from 52 to Zy and as convalescence came on it rose to 72. After we had been in consultation for some days my colleague of tho Hahnemann Medical Collece. Processor A R. Thomas, was called to join the consultatioo on a single ccsasion on which he con curred in our management of tbe case. Tbe improvement increased in rapidity aa the cicatrization of the wound went on; . but it was oniy arier a lapse of sesn weeks- that he was allowed to- sec up. in ordeiv that tho pert-, ct DRAIN AC-iB CP THE WOUND might not be interfered with, a matter absolutely vital to hio. After ;hat time ha was gradually alio wed more liberty, anii at the end of the secocti mcnlh be was get iato a chair, and a week later couid walk with assistance. The wound still-continues to discharge a very sraall amocjot of lymph, pus having ceased to be formed.- Imperfect vision of the left side ct objects still continues to some extent,. Put another more remarkable feature has txn developed since ho has been sitting u-. He has telescopic visions tbat is to say, he can peroeive distant objects which other eyes could scarely discern, with wonder ul clearness of visioiKand he can not judze of distances, ottea 'Imagining that buildings a lomr wav oil ate quite near by. The left-sided obscu rity or VIS103.1S another remarkable feature of the case,. especially in view, ot tbe researches of various surgeons aud physiologists in the same field. It their conclusion tbat tho- optic nervo of either side is . largely concerned with the Kapplv of visual power to loa same side of bota eyeballs there being an optic nerve arising from each side of the brain. IAirther information on this subject may be found in the "Medical and Sujgieal History ol tbe Usbellion, part; 1; surgical volume ..page 17117;'' In this case. the Injury is evidently to tbe right nerve. Now, the conclusion of physiologists is that the lelt side of objects is teen by the light aide ct either eyeball, the lines, of vision crossing tbe axis jf. the aye on tbe way to tcexetina. lne observauonj made in. the C4se.of Carruth tend to confirm thesetwo coo-vlusiona ot science, and therefore, add greatly to the interest of the case.
