AN OLD MAN'S DREAMS. BY JCLIZA M BHKBMAN. It waa tbe ts Hight hour; Behind the western hill the sun had sunk, Leaving the evening sky aglow with crimson light. The air is filled w.th fragrance and with sound; . High in the tops of shadowy vine-wreathed trees. Grave parent birds were twittering good-night songs, To still their restless brood. Across tbe way A noisy little brook made pleasant Music on the summer air, And further on the sweet faint sound Of Whippoorwill falls rose on the air and fell, Like some sweet chant at v.specs. The air is heavy With tbe scent of mignonette and rose, And from the beds of flowers the tall White lilies point like angel fingers upward, Casting on tbe air an incense sweet, That brings to mind the old, old story Of the alat aster box that loving Mary Broke upon the Master's feet. Upon his vine-wreathed porch An old white-headed man sits dreaming Happy, happy dreams of days that are no more; And listening to the quaint old song With which his daughter .ulled her child to rest. “Abide with me,” she says; “Fast falls the eventide; The darkness deepens Lord, with me abide.” And as he listens to the sounds that fill the Hummer air, sweet, dreamy thoughts Of his “lost youth” come crowding thickly up; And for awhile he f eems a boy atfain With feet all bare ' Ho wades the rippling brook, and with a boyish shout Gathers the violets blue and nodding ferns that wave a welcome from the other side. With those he wreathes The sunny head of litt e Nell, a neighbor’s child, Companion of his sorrows and his joys Hweet, dainty Nell, whose baby life Heemed early linked with his. And whom he loved with all a boy s devotion. Long year* have flown. No longer boy and girl, but man and woman grown. They stand again beside the brook, that murmurs Ever in its course, nor stays for lime nor man. And tell the old. old story, And promise to betn.e ’till life for them shall end , , Again the years roll on, Ami they are old. The frost of age Han touched tbe once brown hair, J est 11 whitt ‘ “ are the chaliced lilies. Children, whoso rosy lips once claimed A father's blessing and a mother’s love, Have grown to man s estate, save two Whom God called early home, to wait ror them in heaven. And then the old man*thinks How on a night like this, when faint And sweet as half remembered dreams Old Whippoorwill falls did murmur soft Its evening psalms, when.fragrant lilies Pointed up the way her Christ had gone, God called the wife and mother home And bid him wait. „ , Oh I why is it so hard for Man to wait? To sit with folded hands Apart amid the busy throng, And hear the buzz and hum of toil around r<> see men reap and bind the golden sheaves Of earthly fruits, which he looks idly on Ami knows be may not join, But only wait till God has said. “Enough!” And calls him home? And thus the old man dreams, And then awakes—awakes to hear I he sweet old song just dying fin the pulsing evening air: “When other helpers fail, And comforts Hee, Lord of the helpless Oh! abide with me." Bhopheap, Wlh.

THE DEATH CHABM.

A Story of Love and Crime. Along a broad highway in the State of Maryland rode two persons, mounted upon two spendid animals, with the easy grace of equestrians accustomed to the saddle. One was a maiden of scarcely more than 16, with a fresh, lovely face and a form developing into perfection, wearing a dark-blue habit and a slouch hat with a heavy ostrich plume. Gauntlet gloves incased her tiny hands, while about her there was an air of high breeding. Her company was nearly double her age, attired in the undress uniform of a Captain of cavalry. He was a strikinglooking man, with a frank, fearless face that was very fascinating. That there was a love affair existing between the two—young as was the maiden—their glances indicated, and the course of true love, in their case, seemed to be running smooth. Presently they came upon a crowd of men in the roadway. A youth lay bound upon the ground, his face pale and bleeding, and about him bent a half dozen rude fellows, talking in angry tones. “Carter, what means this disturbance?” asked the maiden, sternly, addressing one of the men. The man touched his hat politely and replied: It means, Miss Lulu, that we’ve caught a Tartar here, but we’ve got him tied fast now.” “ What has he been doing, Carter?” “ Well, you see, miss, I saw him coming out of the forest, where, you know, your father allows no gunning, and I called to him to stop and he paid no attention to me, so I calls the boys from the field and we gave chase and caught him, though he fought like a tiger.” “And have you dared attack a man in the public road, sir? My father shall hear of this at once,” said Lulu Sanford angrily. “He’s nothing but a gypsy, miss, from the camp over the hill yonder,” sullenly said the man. “He is a human being, and was doing no harm. Unbind him at once sir!” . ’ The young officer now sprung from his horse and quickly released the youth, who was secured with a rope, and said kindly, “ Get up, my man, and return to your camp.” The youth turned liis dark eyes upon the speaker and said, faintly: “ I cannot, sir; I am badly hurt.” Shame on you, Carter!—a number of burly men to beat a poor boy as you have done! You shall suffer for this all of you!” cried the maiden, indignantly ; and, as the men hung their heads abashed, she continued :

liaise him in your arms and carry him at once to the mansion, while I ride by and send Dr. Moore to see him. Tell Jane to put him in a comfortable room.” Anxious to redeem themselves in the eyes of their employer’s daughter, the men raised the youth in their arms and bore him away, while Lulu Sanford and her escort, Oapt. Fred De Laney, gal loped on after the physician. An hour after the two rode up to the door of a very handsome mansion surrounded by ornamental grounds, flower gardens, and every indication that those who dwelt there were possessed of wealth and refined taste. At the door an elderly gentleman met them, who called out pleasantly: Well, Fred, I am glad to see you, my boy. Richard told me you had arrived this morning.” Yes, Colonel, I received sixty davs’ furlough and stopped to see you on my way home; and this afternoon Miss Lulu and myself ran off for a ride,” replied the young officer. And 1 arn ver y glad we did, papa, for I found your overseer, Carter, and five of the hired men had beaten a boy severely just because he did not stop when commanded to,” said Lulu. Yes, the doctor is now with the poor boy, and his father, too. I fear the youth is badly hurt, and Carter and the f? en . leave my place at once, for the little fellow was doing no harm, and his being a gypsy is no crime. But come into the house and get ready for „° er > f° r have a surprise for you.” A surprise for me, sir?” said Lulu. J-es, I have found a governess for you-one in every way competent to teach you in singing and instrumental music, as you desire, and who speaks Italian perfectly; she will be here in two weeks, and I have engaged her for y ear8 > 80 you can complete your education under her.” lam so glad—l was afraid I would have to go to boarding-school.” And Jjulu ascended to her own room, white

her father took Capt. De Laney in charge. The gyissy boy was severely hurt, and for nearly a week the doctor feared he might not recover. His father hung night and day over him, never caring for himself. At length the youth rallied, and recuperated with such rapidity that the gypsy chief said he could take him back to camp, and asked to see Lulu, who had been untiring in her devotion to the wounded boy. Finding that the gypsy would go, Lulu ordered the carriage to drive them to their camp, a kindness that was accepted. “And, lady,” said the chief, with deep feeling, my boy owes you his life, and the prayers of our people will ever be for your joy. I have money to pay, yet 1 will not insult a heart that was kind—so kind that you brought my boy to your own home, and have cared for him as though he were of your own kin, and not a poor, wandering gypsy.” “Now, lady, I beg you to remember, if ever the world should turn against you, that you have true friends in the camp of Capt. Carl, the gypsy.” Lulu offered her hand in farewell to both Capt. Carl, as his tribe called him, and the boy, and the dignified manner and striking appearance of the wandering chief could not but impress her. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The second day after the departure of the gypsies from Sanford Hill, as the rich old ex-army officer’s place was called, there was an arrival in the person of the governess engaged to “finish off” Lulu’s education. At the first glance at Viola Hale, Lulu did not like her; but in a few moments after she changed her mind, and seemed almost fascinated by the beautiful governess, for she was strangely, weirdly beautiful, with great black eyes in which slept worlds of passion, ripe red lips, teeth like milk and without a blemish, and hair that touched the floor when she was standing- hair blue black and with an inclination to curl. Her complexion was dark, almost bronze in hue, but there was rich blood in the cheeks, and her form was the very perfection of grace and beauty. Her age was hard to tell—at times she seemed like a girl, and then agaiu one might not be far wrong if he said she was nearly 30. From her entree into the mansion she ruled, and yet no one seemed to know that she held the reins, but Col. Sanr ford soon became her slave. Lulu seemed wholly under her influence, and no one seemed conscious that she made her power felt. She was an accomplished musician, and sang with a depth of feeling that would capture any listener. When at length Capt. Fred Do Laney came again to Sanford Hill on a visit, and met Viola Hale he seemed to Lulu’s surprise not to take a fancy to her. “ That woman has a history, Lulu, and a dark one, mark my words for it,” he said. “ She is very beautiful, Fred, and accomplished, sweet-tempered, and—and ” “And what, Lulu ? ” “And I do not like to have you find fault with my sweet governess.” “ Then I will not. She’s an angel—only she has a history,” and the persistent man could not be changed in his opinion. *

The next day Fred proposed a horseback ride, and when the horses were brought round Viola Hale appeared in a habit that set off her wondrous beauty strangely. Refusing the offer of Fred to aid her, she laid her hand on the pommel and leaped lightly into the saddle from the ground. “ She’s been in a circus, 111 wager,” said Fred, in a low tone, as he lifted Lulu to her saddle, and he was more convinced of this when he saw the perfect manner in which the governess managed the wild horse she rode. Whether Viola Hale realized that the young Captain did not exactly like her, it was hard to tell, but she suddenly began to turn her battery of fascination upon him in a manner that threatened to change his mind regarding her. But fortunately his furlough was soon ended, and he departed for his command on the frontier, a happy man, because Lulu Sanford had to become his wife when she was a year and a half older, and Col. Sanford approved the match; for the young officer came of good family, and was a brave and dashing fellow, possessed no evil habits, and yet was the richest man in the army.

A year passed by, and again Capt, Fred De Laney was a visitor at Sanford Hill, and delighted at the wonderful progress Lulu had made under her beautiful governess. “ Have you picked up any links, Lulu, that connect her with the past ?” asked Fred. “For shame, Fred! She is all that is lovely, and I believe that papa is really in love with her; and I assure you I would not object to her for a step-mother.” “ And does she care for your father, Lulu?” “ I thought so once; now I believe she only admires and respects him.” “ He has lost heavily of late, he wrote me.” “ Yes. You’ll not get the rich heiress you expected to, as papa is now barely well off.” “ I have been more fortunate, for my wealth has increased, and after I marry you, Lulu, I shall resign from the army, and settle down to take care of my vast estates.” “I am glad to hear you say so, for I have no desire to see your brown curls taken off by an Indian’s scalping-knife. But here comes Miss Hale.” As Lulu spoke the governess swept into the room, and more than ever gracious was she to Capt. De Laney, and during his entire visit did she devote herself to him in such a kindly way that when he again returned to the army he admitted that he had misjudged her, and believed her to be a.thorough-ly-true woman.

“I would like to see Miss Sanford—my boy has sent her some little trinkets he has made for her,” said Capt. Carl, the gypsy chief, appearing at Sanford Hill one day, two years nearly after his departure. In his hand he held a basket, in which were some shell and wooden ornaments skillfully carved. “ Miss Lulu has not been very well of late, and it’s a pity, as the Captain’s coming home soon to marry her, but I’ll tell her you are here,” said the butler, and he soon returned with word that he was to come into the library. In an easy chair, a book lying closed upon her lap, sat Lulu Sanford, looking pale, and with a haggard expression in her beautiful eyes. “ It was very kind of your son to remember me, and these are very beautiful indeed. I suppose, he is quite a man now?” ’ . But the gypsy made no reply, and his eyes were riveted upon Lulu. • Again she spoke to him surprised at this strange look, and then from his lips burst the question: “Where did you get that charm, lady?” Supported by a gold chain of rare workmanship that encircled her neck, hung a massive gold heart, with a single ruby of rare size in the center, and upon this the eyes of the gypsy were fixed with a startled look,

“This beautiful charm”—and Lulu raised it in her fingers —“ it was given to me by my governess a month ago.” “ Lady, I would know that gold heart with its single red eye among a million. It is the death-charm!” “ The death-charm! What can you mean?” “ Lady, let me see it, please.” Impressed by his manner, Lulu unfastened the clasp and handed itto him. For a moment he gazed intently upon it, and then, to the surprise of the maiden, touched a spring, the existence of which she knew not of, and it flew open like a locket. “ I knew I was not mistaken—it is the death-charm. See here, lady; do you see these little marks that look like engraving ? Well, they are holes through the gold back, as you see when I hold it up to the light. There, you see this sponge within this wire case? This is saturated in deadly poison—poison that you inhale day by day, until you gradually die, and none know the cause of your death. Lady, the one who gave you this wished to murder you.” As white as snow, and trembling with excitement, Lulu cried: “ No, no, no! It was given me by my dear governess, Viola Hale.” “Viola Hale! The first name is hers; she must be the one who is your foe, lady. Is the woman you speak of in this house?” As the gypsy spoke the governess glided into the room, an<L as her eyes fell upon the tall form near Lulu, she stopped, turned livid, and with a cry upon her lips sank upon the floor. “Oh, sir, call the servants, for she has fainted,” cried Lulu, in alarm. “Lady, let her lie there, while I tell you that she is not worthy of one kind thought. That woman is my wife!" “Your wife?” whispered Lulu. “Yes, lady, she is, like myself, a gypsy, and at 14 years of age became my wife and Queen of the band; but the year after the birth of our boy, whose life you have saved, she ran away from me to go with an Italian Prince, and when she had squandered his money she left him, too, to attach herself to a Spaniard, a sorcerer, and the man who made this death-charm I hold in my hand. She killed him with his own poisons, and came back to me, professing repentance. Alas! it was from a desire to get her boy; as I still doubted her, she gave me this very charm to wear around my neck, telling me it would bring back my love for her. “ Accidentally I found a paper one day that told me the secret of the deathcharm and its poison, and I accused her of her treachery, and so great was her assumed grief that I did not make known her intent to kill me to my band.

“The following day she disappeared and carried the charm with her. Since then I have never known what became of her; but, thank Heaven, I came here to-day 1” In horror Lulu had listened to the awful story, and then she felt all was true, for it came to her now how her old nurse had said the governess wanted to marry Fred De Laney herself; then how she had insisted that for love of her the death-charm should be worn day and night, and from the time she had put it on her health had begun to fail.

“Oh, how could she be so wicked?” cried the girl. “It is her nature, lady. Ah! she is recovering consciousness,” and the gypsy chief stepped toward the prostrate woman, and, in his own language, spoke to her sternly. With every nerve quivering, and her black eyes looking wild with terror, the woman arose and stood before her master thoroughly conquered. “Lady, farewell. Please send this woman's things to tilts address in the city,” and Carl handed Lulu a card, while he.continued: “ Keep that deathcharm, but take fiorn it that deadly poison. Keep it as a souvenir that Capt. Carl repaid the service you did his son.”

Then turning to the guilty, trembling woman, he said to her simply: “Come! ” Without a word, and with bowed head, she followed him, and Lulu was left alone in horror and grief. Thus her father found her, and from her lips heard the terrible story. He folded his daughter in his arms in a rapture at her escape, while he said: “I do believe her guilty now, Lulu, for I remember I believed she loved me at first, yet her manner changed as soon as I met with financial misfortunes; and it was evidently her intention to kill you and marry Fred De Laney, for she frequently asked about his riches. I will order her trunks sent off at once. I wonder what her band will do with her?” “ I cannot tell, father.” “ Then we will drive to their camp tomorrow and have a talk with Capt. Carl, who seems to be a splendid fellow.” And the next day Lulu felt so much better that she drove to the gypsy encampment with her father; but the wanderers had departed, and when they returned again to the neighborhood, five years after, Lulu was Mrs. Fred De Laney, and had a little boy whom they had named Carl, after the chief, who, with his son, came to Sanford Hill to visit them. The gypsy boy had grown into a handsome man, and Capt. Carl’s locks were nearly white, and a look of settled melancholy rested in his eyes. When asked by Lulu and her husband about Viola, he said, in a low, stern voice: “ She is dead, lady ; our tribe sentenced her to die by her own hand, and, being a gypsy, she obeyed.” And Capt. Carl and his son wended their way back to their woodland encampment, burying in their hearts a bitter secret.,

Treatment of Crime and'Criminals in the Future.

Basing his opinion on what he regards as the legitimate teaching of the doctrine of heredity, a writer in the Journal of Science believes that the criminal legislation of the future—unless dominated by those who pander to crime-will do something like this: The lineage and connections of every offender, especially of every habitual criminal, will be carefully scrutinized, and all surviving members will be subjected to an unobtrusive but penetrating scrutiny. The younger members of the race will be, as far as possible, surrounded by such moral and religious influences as will most effectually check and counteract their probable inbred tendency to crime. Courts of justice, he says, will have their criminal geneologists whose records will shed a new and most valuable light on not a few unsolved problems both of biology and of mental science. It is to be hoped that, when “the future” comes, it will be able to use such a power wisely and without malice. But the author is more radical still. “As for the man,” he continues, “who has once formally declared war against society, hoisting, so to speak, the black flag, care will be taken that he shall neither repeat his offense nor, after its commission, become a parent.” A man dying recently in St. Louis left SI,OOO to an individual who, years before, ran away with his wife. He said ip the will that fie nevAr forgot a favor,

THE UTE INDIAN WAR.

A Circumstantial Account of the Engagement in Which Maj. Thornburgh Fell, and of the Subsequent Siege and Belief ol Capt. I’ayne’s Command-Heroic Bravery of the Troops. The command of Capt Payne, which was corraled by the hostile Ute Indiana on Milk river, Col, on the 29th of September, and hotly besieged for nearly a week, during which ths devoted little band was subjected to an almost incessant rain of bullets, waa finally relieved on the sth of October, by tbe arrival of Gen. Merritt’s command. The account of the battle in which Maj. Thornburgh lost his life, and the subsequent six days’ siege, forms one of the most exciting chapters in the annals of Indian warfare, and, although rather lengthy for our limited space, we give it entire. The narrative begins with the date, “Battle-field, Milk River, Oct 3, 6 p.m.,* and proceeds: The Indians still surround us, and pour in an effective fire from a commanding bluff, at a distance of 500 or 600 yards, having a crossfire upon our position, which position was chosen hastily on the first day of the fight All our horses and all but twelve mules have been killed. We sheltered them as best we could, with wagons, but to no purpose. Capt. Dodge and Lieut Hughes, with Company D, Ninth (colored) cavalry, came to eur rescue yesterday morning at daybreak, after a forced night march of tuirty-five miles from Bear river. Cheer upon cheer rent the air from our trenches when it was ascertained who were coming. A lullin the firing enabled them to come in and shelter their horses as well as possible, taking to the fortifications quickly, when the attack redoubled its fury. Had the heights been accessible, Capt. Dodge would have charged them with his company, while we covered him from our rifle-pits, but this was uferly impossible, the ascenfbeing nearly perpendicular. All that we could do . during the dav was to keep a good lookout from the loopholes, and return tbe fire when any Indian showed his head. This, however, was a very rare occurrence, as the Indians have rifle-pits and loop-holes. Before dark every horse but three of Capt Dodge’s command was shot down. We Lave been able, at great risk, to haul off our dead animals every night; otherwise the stench would be intolerable. A sally is made every night for water, a distance of 200 yards from our intrenchmente. The field of battle was admirably chosen for defense by the Indians, and, had it not been for Maj. Thornburgh’s advance guard, commanded by Lieut Cherry, discovering the ambuscade, the entire command would nave been annihilated. He saw a small party of Indians disappear over a hill, half a mile in front, and at once divided his party to reconnoiter, and only discovered them .when he had flanked their position by about 200 yards. Cherry rode back at full speed, with two or three men who were with him, and notified Maj. Thornburgh, who had already begun the descent into the deep ravine which was intended to ingulf the command.

The Indians were dismounted and lying down along the crest of the high, steep ridge, not 100 yards from the point where the deadly assault would have commenced. The troops were withdrawn a short distance, dismounted, and dep’oyesLin line of battle, with orders to await the attack of the Indians. Lieut. Cherry was here ordered by Thornburgh to take a detachment of fifteen picked men, and make a reconnoissance and communicate, if possible, with the Indians, as it was thought that they only desired to oppose his approach to their agency, and .would parley, or have a “big talk,” if they could be communicated with Cherry moved out at a gallop with his men from the right flank, and noticed a like movement of about twenty Indians from the left of the Indian position. He approached to within a couple of hundred yards of the Indians, and took off his hat and waved it, but the response was a shot fired at h m, wounding a man of his party and killing his horse. This was the first shot, and was instantly followed by a volley from the Indians. The work had now begun in real earnest, and, seeing the advantage of the position he held, Cherry dismounted his detachment and ■deployed along the crest of the hill do prevent the Indians flanking his position, or to coypr their retreat, if found necessary to retire upon the wagon-train, which was then coming up slowly, guarded by Lieut. Paddock, of Company D,Fifth cavalry.

Orders were sent to park the wagons and cover them with the company guarding them. The two companies in advance were those of Capt. Payne, Company F, Fifth cavalry', and Capt. Lawson’s, Company E, Third cavalry, which were dismounted and deployed as skirmishers, with Capt. Payne on the left and Capt. Lawson on the right. From Cherry’s position he could see that the Indians were trying to cut him off from the wagons, and at once he sent word to Maj. Thornburgh, who then withdrew the line slowly, keeping the Indians in check until opptroito tlio puiut YVtllUll DIB men held, when, seeing that the Indians were concentrating to cut off his retreat, Capt. Payne, with Company F, Fifth cavalry, was ordered to charge the hill, which he did in gallant style, his horse being shot under him and several of his men wounded. TLc Indians having been driven from this point, the company was rallied on the wagontrain. Maj. Thornburgh then gave orders to Cherry to hold his position and cover Capt. Lawson’s retreat, who was ordered to fall back slowly with the led horses of his company. Cherry called for volunteers of twenty men, who responded promptly. They fought with desperation, as nearly every man was wounded before he reached the camp, and two men were killed.

Maj. Thornburgh started back to the wagontrain, after giving his final orders to Capt. Payne to charge the hill, and to Capt. Lawson and Lieut. Cherry to cover the retreat. He must have been shot dead when barely half way there, as his body was seen by one of Capt. Lawson’s men, with life extinct and lying os his face Capt Payne, then in command, at once set about having the wounded horses shot to make breastworks, dismantling the wagons of boxes, bundles of bedding, corn and flour sacks, which were quickly piled up for fortifications. Picks and spades were used vigorously for digging intrenchments. Meantime a galling fire was concentrated upon the command from all the surrounding bluffs which commanded the position. Not an Indian could be seen, but the incess mt crack of their Sharp’s and Winchester rifles dealt fearful destruction among the horses and men. The groans of the dying and the agonizing Xies of the wounded told what fearful havoc was being made among the determineel and dorperate command. Every man was determined to sell his life as dearly as pctcible. About this time a great danger was approaching at a frightfully rapid pace. The red devils, at the beginning of the fight, had set fire to the dry grass and to the sage-brush to the windward of our position, and it now came sweeping down toward us, the flames leaping high into the air, and immense volumes of smoke rolling on to ingulf us. It was a sight to make the stoutest heart quail, and the fiends were waiting, ready to give us a volley as soon as we were driven from our shelter. Now it reaches our flank, and blankets, blouses and empty sacks were freely used to extinguish the flames. Some of the wagons were set on fire, which required all the force possible to smother it. No water can be obtained and the smoke is suffocating, but the fire passes and we hold our position. Meantime, a constant volley is poured upon us, Capt Payne being wounded for the second time, and First Bergt. Dolan, of Company F, killed instantly. McKinstry and McKee were killed and many others wounded. Our greatest danger now is past The men have now mostly covered themselves, but the poor horses ana mules are constantly falling about us. Just about sundown a charge was attempted, but repulsed, the Indians trying to drive off some of our horses which had broken loose. The attack ceased at dark, and soon every man was at work enlarging the trenches, hauling out the dead horses, caring for the wounded, and burying the dead.

At daylight the attack was resumed, and the firing of the sharpshooters has been kept up every day since, and occasionally at night, sending us to our pits in a scramble. This is the fifth day of our siege, but we are determined to hold out, if it takes a month for succor to reach us. But we are confident that Gen. Merritt, whose name is upon the lips of every one, is on the road to rescue us. THE KILLED. The names of the killed and wounded are as follows: Maj. Thornburgh, Fourth infantry. First Sergeant John Dolan, Company f, Fifth cavalry. Private John Burns, Company F, Fifth cavalry. Michael Str er ton, Campany F, Fifth cavalry. Samuel McKee, Company F, Fiftn cavairr. Amos D.

His is probably mortal. Total killed, 12; total wounded, 43. Oct 4—l p. m.—No courier could be gotten off last night, owing to the constant firing of the Indians into the camp. The moon came up an hour after dark, and a volley was poured in at once. Our party who went after water was unmolested, and we had our little stockade all cleared for action before the firing was resumed. As I write this dispatch thubullete are whistling over the top of the trench. They often strike the grain sacks, a few inches above our heads, but we are deep enough to be comparatively safe. A soldier of Gen. Merritt’s command sends a later report, in which he says: “Oh, what a happy crowd Payne’s command was when Merritt reached them! The right of the Fifth cavalry entering under Gen. Merritt and Col Compton was a grand one. The poor fellows in the intrenchments at first probably thought we were Indians. We were immediately challenged by a sentinel, and in reply answered that we were friends. Gen. Merritt caused the trumpet to sound the officers’ call, and at its end three trig cheers rent the air. They were relieved at last The right was one of the most affecting! have ever seen, and brave men shed tears. There is a horrible stench all around. Wounded men are bobbling in every direction. One hundred and fifty dead horses, lying thirty feet from the intrenchmente, present a horrible spectacle. A report comes from White Biver Agency k the effect that Agent Meeker and all the men at tne agency were murdered, while the women and children were spared, and were under the protection of Chief Douglass.

Cheyenne, Oct 10. From private advices it is learned that Gen. Merritt had no fight before reaching Payne’s command. After daybreak on Bunday, Gen. Merritt, Lieut Cheiry, and M company, went out to look at the battlefield where Maj. Thornburgh was killed, and which is a mile from the intrenchments. The Indians, who were concealed in the rocks beyond, opened fire, and a new battle . began, which lasted about an hour. It was hot, short, and decisive, ending in favor of the troops, because they were protected by bluffs. The Indians then held upa flag of truce, and came m to hold a parley. They proposed to surrender on certain conditions, which Gen. Merritt could not accept They asked him if he insisted upon going to White Biver Agency, and, replying that he did, they told him they would have to renew the war. They then retired to their stronghold. In the conflict one private was slightly wounded and four horses killed. Eight Indians were killed. During the parley the Indians, who were pari of Jack’s band, stated that thirty-seven of their number had been killed during the five days’ siege of Capt Payne’s intrenchment. It was also discovered from them that they were fortifying the road to the White River agency, so as to obstruct the passage of the troops. As the country is very mountainous, and the roads lead through canyons, they will be able to ti ouble Gen. Merritt considerably. At the time the letter was written, giving these advices, Gen, Menitthad not determined upon a time for resuming the march for White river, further than that he should do so as soon as the men and horses were suffi iently rested. From the Bannock Agency, near Camp Brown, Wyoming Territory, comes the news that 100 families of Utes, accompanied by only two old bucks, have arrived at the agency. This fact shows that the Utes are expecting to have a lengthy conflict. It also demonstrates the shrewdness of the Utes, who compel their enemies to feed and protect their families. Furthermore, it bears out the impression that the hostile Utes do not number over 150 bucks

Denver, Col., Oct. 13. Gov. Pitkin received to-day telegraphic advices fi om Los Pinos Agency, via Lake City, which are accepted »s reliable. They sta’e in substance that Sapenaro, one of ;he most influential tub-chiefs, who was sent by Chief Ouray to the White River Agency after the first news of the uprising, has returned to Los Pino'. He says he saw write men and children at White River Agency in charge of Chief Douglass, and saw one of the employes who was present when the Indians made the attack on the aeency. This latter man killed one of the Indians and wounded another. Sapenaro thinks that three or four other employes are also alive, as their tracks were seen around the agency building. They may have fled to the woods? Father Meeker was killed. Cheyenne, Wy. T.,Ocfc 12. The latest news from Merritt’s command is of a startling nature. A courier comes into Rawlins with important dispatches from Merritt, the ’nature of which the courier is not aware, except that mountain howitzers are asked for. The courier states that heavy fighting has been going on since Tuesday morning. At that time an attempt was made to dislodge the Indians, who were located on commanding bluffs. Their position was too strong. The whole foice of troops was brought our, and the Indians retired to a line of natural fortifications about three miles nearer the White River Agency. Gen. Merritt took advantage of this move and transferred his camp to open ground on Milk creek, wherd the hostiles could not reach them from any surrounding bluff. The stench at the other camp compelled the change, and a better position was secured, and near water.

The Songs of Scotland.

There is a very general impression, especially in England, that Burns created Scottish song, and that all that is valuable in it is his work. Instead of saying that Bums created Scottish song, it would be more true to say Scottish song created Burns, and that in him it culminated. He was born at a happy hour for a national songster, with a great background of song centuries old behind him, and breathing from hie childhood a very atmosphere of melody. From the earliest times the Scotch have been a song-loving people, meaning by song both the tunes, or airs, and words. This is not the side which the Scotchman turns to the world, when he goes abroad into it to push his fortune. We all know the character that passes current as that of the typical Scot—sandyhaired, hard-featured, clannish to his countrymen, shrewd, cautious, selfseeking, self-reliant, persevering, unsympathetic to strangers, difficult to drive a bargain with, impossible to circumvent. The last thing a stranger would credit him with would be the love of song. Yet when that hard, calculating trader has retired from the ’change or the market-place to his own fireside, perhaps the things he loves best, almost as much as his dividends, will be those simple national melodies he has known from his childhood. Till a very recent time the whole air of Scotland, among the country people, was redolent of song. You heard the milkmaid singing some old chant, as she milked the cows in field or byre; the housewife went about her work,* or span at her wheel, with a lilt upon her lips. In. the Highland glen you might hear some solitary reaper singing like her whom Wordsworth has immortalized; in the lowland harvest field, now one, now another, of the reapers taking up an oldworld melody, and then the whole band breaking out into some well-known chorus. The plowman, too, in winter, as he turned over the lea furrows, beguiled the time by humming or whistling a tune; even the weaver, as he clashed his shuttle between the threads, mellowed the harsh sound with a song. In former days song was the great amusement of the peasantry, as they of a winter night met for a hamlet-gather-ing by each other’s firesides. This was the usage in Scotland for centuries, and I am not sure that the radical newspaper which has superseded it is an improvement. — Atlantic.

In Districts Formerly Ravaged

By fever and ague, immunity from the dreadful scourge is enjoyed by those who have rendered their systems malaria-proof with Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, the best preventive and remedy. Quinine cannot compare with it in efficacy, and is anything but safe. Physicians recommend the Bitten for its remedial and resuscitating properties, and the closest analysis reveals nothing in the composition of a deleterious nature. It does not -deteriorate, is an agreeable cordial as well as a potent medicine, and when mixed with brackish or unwholesome water neutralizes its hurtful properties. The denizens of malarious localities, not only in the United States but the tropics, regard it as an invaluable protection, and in hosts of families it is kept constantly on hand. As the tide of emigration spreads further westward the demand for it among those compelled to encounter the vicissitudes of climate constantly increases. .

Mayor Beatty’s Pianos and Organs, lour attention is called to the advertisemen of Hon. Daniel F. Beatty, of Washington, New Jersey. Mayor Beatty’s celebrated pianos and organs are so well known throughout the civilized world that they require no word of commendation from ns. Lowest prices, superior workmanship and complete satisfaction have brought this house prominently forward, until to-day he stands the only man m the trade who dares to ship his instruments on test trial, and, if unsatisfactory, refunds not only the price but all freight paid. No fairer offer can be made or even suggested. His sales are now very large, and when it is taken into consideration that a few years ago he was only a poor plow-boy, it must be evident to every reader that Mayor Beatty is the possessor of rare talent in his vocation.

To all persons residing in paludal districts Dr. F. Wilhoft’a Anti-Periodic or Fever and Ague Tonic cannot be too highly recommended.
