THE PASTOR'S RESIGNATION. BY I. EDO All JONES. The aged pastor bowed his head within the altar’s railing His hands were tremulous with age, his sight and hearing (ailing; Fond faith and trust were striving hard to light away his fears. But yet his heart wai sore and sad and sought relief in tears. For forty years his tongue proclaimed to all sal vatlon’s story. For forty yi are to all who came he offered hope of glory, for forty years tbe bell that echoed now from out the steeple Proclaimed that here bis warning voice had tidings for his people. But now the leaders of the church—an influential clan— Had called on him to yield his ylace to hold a younger man; His energies had long been spent, ’twas meet he should retire That they might call a man of mark endowed with youthful tire. With quavering voice he gavo response to friends who offered greeting. ■ And listened in an absent way to members in the meeting— Discoursing in familiar tones of changes they were making— And asking him to make remarks, although his heart was breaking. But je! he spoke—as oft before-his voice aglow with feeling. While down his faded, furrowed face slow tears were softly stealing, A holy huso pervading all. as though an angel Hpell Had rested on them, as he rose to bid bis flock farewell. He spoke of memories sad and sweet, of dim and distant days, Of forty years of constant toll, of pain and prayer and grain Of cbil iron—christened by his lianl—who stood before him still, While some reposed beneath the flowers upon the distant hill. * And here Ills voice sank sad and low—for there lus child and wife Were laid wii n death had left him lone to live his laboring life — Far more were they ho once had kuown, who 'Death the willows slept, Than they who sat befor him now, and o'er their memories wept. For all he prayed as fathers plead for children whom they love, That all might once again ho joined in Go I’s abode above; And then, in voice replete with tones of love and fond caressing, lie raised his trembling hands aloft and gave to all his blessing, The saddened people silent sat as he resumed liis chair, While rays of sunshine softly fell and played upon his hair, And rested there with light caress, as though a golden chain, By which an angel message sought and soothed him in his pain. The organ broke tlic silence then with sweetly solemn roll, That wailed in waves of silver song across the saddened soul, With “Itockof Ages," old.yetnew—majestic,grand, and StrongWell may the angel choir;, above its quivering notes prolong. The people rose to be dismissed; llieir pastor lingered still, Ami smiling looked upon the graves that crowned the distant hill; But when they sought with gentlo touch to wake the musing mind, l hey found that death had called him lienee; their JiUHttir hud t'exifjnf tt.

OUR NEIGHBORS.

Go where you will in Southwestern Kansas, there is almost always a cayote or two not far away. And when one of these animals begins howling at night, or just before daybreak in the morning, a person not accustomed to their noise would think there were a dozen of them; for every cayote cur is so gifted that he can howl in two or three different voices; first a yell', then a falsetto howl, then a dog-like bark, and then all three at once, blended in one wild outcry. The sudden bursting forth of these cries in the silence of the night is at once startling and incomparably doleful. The first time I heard them, the wild, dissonant, doleful sounds fairly made my heart sink. It was tho night after we moved on to our new stock farm, and, being a little homesick, tho wild bowlings depressed me all the more. But one gets used to their noise, and, strange as it may seem, sometimes actually comes to enjoy it. If one of these animals is about, you always know, at least, when to get up in the morning; for at daybreak Mr. Cayote is pretty sun' to lift up his many melodious voices in a long polyglot howl. It is the cock-crow of tho plains. I’he Kansas cayotes—and cayotes are much alike all through the West, I am t 1 >)d always seemed to me to be intermediate between the gray fox and the timber wolf. They remind one of the fox, not only in their rusty gray coats, but in their movements' and habits; and vet they seem somewhat wolfish. The peaked nose, prick ears and bu-by tail are much like those of the iox; and the dark and dusky markings round the jowls and on the legs look foxy. In tiieir yapping and howling, they are fox and wolf combined. In size they are about half-way between the two. Nature, in getting up a marauder for the open plains, appears to have struck a mean betwixt vulpes and lupus. The first year of our herding, we had our main cattle-pen on a “crick” pretty well down to the Indian lands, and the cattle ranged over the lino. Nothing was then said of trespass, though there has since been trouble about it.

We started in business with eightyseven young cows, thirty-four 2-year-uld steers, and twenty-six yearlings, and that lirst fall wo mustered seventy-six calves. These made a considerable herd, about as large as my brother and I could comfortably look after. Wo did not build a house the lirst year, nor even make a “dig-out,” but lived in our “schooner,” or large covered wagon. It was a good place to sleep, and wo picketed our ponies round it. We had a small stove, with a funnel ton or twelve feet high, and a big stone set on it, to keep the wind from blow ing it over. We should never have made a “dig-out” at all, but for a tornado, which tore the “schooner” in toward the last of the second spring we were there. About a hundred rods farther up the crock, in the bluff-like bank, a cayote had his burrow. It was a hole somewhat like that made by a fox, a little larger, perhaps, and there were three or four entrances leading into it. One of these entrances, or outlets, was on the very top of the bank, where the creature could poke his head up and take a survey of the vicinity. Another was down the side of the bluff—a kind of back-door, opening toward the water; and still another emerged beside a rock, twenty yards or more farther up the bank. We afterward surmised that this last was a sort of secret portal, whence the animal could escape in case any one tried to “corner” him in his burrow. Then there was a fourth hole, the purpose of which was best known to the proprietor himself. For, no doubt, he had his dig-out arranged in a manner best to suit his own style of living. Judging from the piles of yellow dirt which he had thrown out, the burrow must have been quite commodious. Here < ur fellow-settler spent his daytimes, m slumbering, it is likely. Nearly every night, after dark, we could hear his evening salutatory of yelps, snarls, and barks. That meant that his hunt foi jack rabbits was about to begin—for this was his customary business in the night. He was a bad neighbor. Anything lett about the stove, in the way of* bacon or fat, was bure to be gone in the morning. Once the brute carried off nearly a whole ham. My brother shot at it two or three times after that, and notched one of its ears with a bullet. . Very early in the morning, we would sometimes see the cayote, sitting up like a dog, near his hole, looking with

a wistful expression at the cattle in the corral chewing their cuds. This was probably after a poor night for jacks. Going to bed on an empty stomach with so much good nico beef in sight was “hard lines.” Edward (my brother) would sometimes send a ball up that way. If tbe cayote saw him about to shoot, he would instantly disappear. Sometimes Ed wonld fire from the wagon. At the puff of smoke, the animal would duck, there would be a momentary glimpse of its bushy tail, and that would be last of him for that day. The sheep-herders sometimes lose heavily by wolves. But even in packs, cayotes never attempt to pull down horned-cattle—except sometimes young calves.. The second spring we were there one of our 3-year-old heifers Btole away with her calf into a run or ravine, two or three miles from the yard. Toward night we set off in search of her, and, as evening drew on, we were attracted to this run by the bellowing of the heifer. On riding to the top of the bank we could see the cow rushing about in frantic attempts to drive off six or seven cayotes that were trying to drag off her calf, which they hail already worried to death. But the cow was so resolute and savage that they could none of them get more than a taste of the veal before she would chase them off, first one and then another. This was the first time we had ever seen our friend of the notched ear in company with others. We concluded that he had summoned them to his aid to help kill the calf and beat off the cow. On our riding into the run they all skulked. Ed now declared our cayote neighbor a nuisance, too long endured already, and that he must die. We had with us that spring a young fellow named Zofe Whiting. Zopher, I think, was his given name. He said he was from New Jersey. He had come West to seek his fortune—as many others dc—and, not having found it, he stopped with us six or eight weeks and worked for his board. Next morning, Ed, Zofe and I started to drown out the cayote, carrying with us three tin buckets and our iron stovepot. Ed took along a bat-stick, for since Zofe had come to us, we had solaced our spare hours with a threehanded game of ball. After a good look at the place, we decided to put water in at the uppermost of the holes —the one on the crest | of the bluff. One of the other holes we stopped with stones, and at the . lower one Ed took his place, bat in hand, to knock the cayote on the head when the water should force him out. Ed also took the precaution to place his gun, loaded and cocked, close at his hand. But the joke of it was, we did not see the other hole, out by the rock, for it was partially under the rock, and no dirt had been thrown out there. The distance down to the creek was not more than 100 feet. The bank, however, was rather steep. But Zofe and I got to work, at a trot, up and back, with our buckets and pot, sending water down the hole, while Ed lay, with drawn bat-stick, ready to strike. We had carried up eight or ten buckets of water apiece, when suddenly the animal popped his head out at the lower hole, but caught sight of Ed in the act of striking, and instantly drew back. The bat came down with a tremendous whack across the hole, buA didn’t hit the cayote. “Keep it up, boys!” he shouted, “I’ll fetch him next time!” We kept it up for six or eight turns more— Ed crouching, with his eye intently fixed on tho hole, when, hearing a slight noise out by the rock, Zofe and I looked round, and io! the cayote was just taking leave! We yelled to Ed. He jumped up, and for a moment acted as if he could not believe his own eyes, then snatched the gun and fired after the creature. But it had got too far away to be hurt. The cayote did not come back to this hole. Perhaps we had made it too damp for his health. He used still to call on us nights, however, and take what was left unprotected. We got glimpses of him now and then, and, after a time, found that he had settled at another hole, on the opposite side of the creek, half a mile farther on.

Late that fall we met with a loss. The winter rain-storms are cold and chilling on these unsheltered plains. We thought it too cold for our cattle, and were foolish enough to build a long shed, to break the force of the “northers.” We made the roof of this shed of oiled cloth, nailed to light rafters, and the back, or north side, we made of brush, twined in pretty closely. The cattle liked it; that was the trouble. They took to it so nicely that when the first really severe storm came, in December, they stacked at one end of it; and the result was that next morning we took out six dead steers! They had crowded and trampled each other, to death. We hauled down, our shed directly. It is far safer to let tiie cattle shift for themselves and get into the runs and hollows when the storms come. Texan herders are now agreed that it is better for their stock to go unhoused. These six 2-year-olds made a fine feast for the cayotes and Indian dogs, after we had hauled the carcasses on to the prairie. If we had had strychnine we might, no doubt, have destroyed numbers of them.

Many herders keep strychnine to poison the wolves with. Sometimes, however, they will not pick up bait thus seasoned; and the cayote is not a creature easily caught in a trap. But we hit on a method of ridding ourselves of our cayote neighbors, less laborious than drowning them out. Or rather it was Zofe Whiting who hit on the new plan. I will give the fellow his due, for he was not worth much to us in any other way, Zofe left us in the latter part of June. Where he went we did not know; nor did he know where he was going. But we learned afterward that he went to Las Animas, and after a time got a job digging holes for telegraph-posts, along the new railway, not very far from that place. They had a way of digging these holes that may be new to one. Instead of putting an Irishman to work with a spade, they sent one man along with an iron crow, to punch holes in the ground three feet and a half deep, at the places where the poles were to be set. Behind the man with the crowbar came a second man with a bucketful of dynamite cartridges. On coming to a bar-hole, he lighted the fuse of a cartridge, dropped it to the bottom of the hole—and moved on. Presently there came an explosion, which blew out the earth all about the hole, leaving a pit as big as a flour barrel. The men with the posts had now only to heel them in and fill in the dirt. Two men with those cartridges could sink 260 holes in a day, whereas two men with spades could not dig more than fifty holes. Zofe had the job of carrying and lighting the cartridges, at S4O a month. 11 was a rather dangerous business, but it had this advantage—it was light work and nobody imposed upon him, or came fooling around while he was in discharge of his duty. Zofe had rather liked ftftd the

next spring, in March, he came along one day with his old glazed-cloth valise stuffed full of his togs; the same old Zofe. That evening, as we sat round the fire, he inquired for our old friend, the cayote. “ I’ve got something,” said he, “that’ll h’ist him.” We, of coarse, wanted to know what it was. He said he would tell us in the morning. The next morning, after breakfast, he undid his valise, and pulled out ten or fifteen of these dynamite cartridges. They were lying loose in the bottom of the bag, together with specimens of ore, an old revolver and three or four stubs of matches. The foolish, careless fellow had been carrying those about in that manner for weeks, on the cars and in stages, and his old valise had set within six feet of our open fire all night 1 That was Zofe. We had a crowbar for setting corralposts, and Zofe told us to take it and come on. We crossed over the creek and went up to the cayote’s hole. This burrow was much like the first one, having two or three entrances. Zofe looked it over, and, choosing a point about midway of the entrances, told Ed. to punch a hole. Ed worked the bar down, till at length it broke through into the burrow and went down nearly the whole length of it. “That’s just the thing,” said Zofe; “pull it cut.” He struck a match, remarking that we httd better go off “a few steps.” We were already going—making good time, too. He lighted a cartridge, dropped it into the hole, then sauntered away. It did not make as much noise as we thought it would. There came a kind of heavy bunk in the ground, and the smoke and dirt flew up. But it tore out a pretty large hole, and showed the cayote’s nest, down in the burrow. There was a den as large as a bathtub, half-full of dry grass. We could discover nothing of the cayote; but we always supposed the explosion killed the creature, for we never saw him afterward. Zofe said the idea of blowing out cayotes came to him one day while he was making telegraph post-holes, and he had put aside some cartridges to try the experiment with. We blew out ten or a dozen holes. At one, the cartridge blew the cayote out and sent him heels over head in the air for fifteen or twenty yards. We picked him up, quite dead. At some of the other burrows, the cayotes would dash out, after the blast, their hair full of smoke and dirt, and run for life. Ed generally popped those with a heavy charge of deer shot. One in particular, I remember, which seemed to clear a space of a dozen feet from the mouth of his hole at the first jump, as if the cartridge had blown him out. Then he whirled round to look and sneeze. At that, Ed shot him. If any one lias cayotes to kill, this is a more merciful way than poisoning with strychnine. It is almost certain to do its work.

DOMESTIC ECONOMY.

A Pudding.— Butter a mold and stick inside pieces of preserved raisins, etc.; fill up with sponge-cakes broken in pieces; pour iii a custard (with a pint of milk, three eggs and sugar to taste); flavor with brandy or essence and boil for an hour. Sauce fok Puddings.— One cupful sugar, half cupful butter whipped to a cream ; add one cupful of boiling water, and scald, but not boil; thicken with two teaspoonfuls of corn starch; add one wine-glass of wine (brandy is best) and a well-beaten egg. Johnny Cake. — One quart buttermilk, teacupful flour, two-thirds teacupful molasses, a little salt, one teaspoonful salerat us, one egg, beaten; leave it so thin that it will almost run; bake in a tin. If it is not light, it will bo because it is too thick. Peaches in Cans.— Peel ripe peaches ; cut them into halves, put them in a preserving-kettle, with a little sugar sprinkled over them. Let them heat thoroughly in a pan of hot water on the range. When the peaches are scalding hot put them in glass jars and seal them up. Apple Custard Pie.— Scald the milk and let it cool; grate some sweet apples ; to each cupful of have twothirds cupful of powdered sugar, four well-beaten eggs, one cupful milk, onefourth of a nutmeg; line an earthen pie dish with a rich crust, and let it bake; then fill with the custard and let it bake for half au hour. To be eaten cold.

Chester Pudding.— Take a large lemon, grate the rind, squeeze out the juice; one dozen sweet almonds, one dozen bitter (pound these), one ounce butter, quarter pound loaf sugar, the yelks of four eggs; put all into a saucepan over a slow fire, and when the butter melts beat all together; line a dish with puff paste’, and lay in the mixture; bake in a quick oven. It should be sent to table on a napkin, with the whites of the eggs beaten and laid upon the top. Queen Mab Pudding.— Soak a sixpence packet of gelatine in warm water for two hours; then boil a pint of milk with lemon peel and add to the gelatine. When the latter is dissolved, sweeten to taste and pour in gently the yelks of four eggs; pour all back to the saucepan and simmer as a custard over a slow fire, not allowing it to boil. When thick enough remove from the fire and stir in gradually four ounces of preserved cherries; continue stirring till nearly cold, then pour into a mold. Ham Balls.— Beat six eggs until very light, and add flour gradually until you have a batter stiff enough to admit of being made into balls. Prepare some cold boiled ham, fat and lean mixed, by chopping it up very fine; then flour it, and mix with the batter. Drop the balls into melted lard that is boiling hot; fry, and then drain them on a sieve till free from the adhesion of any grease. This is a nice way to use ham after it has been sent to table several days, and a good deal has been cut from the joint, so that it no longer makes a very sightly dish. Chicken Salad.— Boil a large-sized spring chicken about two hours; let it get cold; then remove all the skin and fat; then chop not quite as fine as mince meat; have the same quantity of chopped celery and the yelks of four boiled eggs pressed smooth with a silver or wooden spoon; then take one pint of sweet milk, and bring it just to a boiling heat; then add the yelks of two eggs well beaten; as soon as this dressing is cold, add one table-spoonful of cider vinegar, and pepper and salt to taste; then mix the whole -nicely together, and place on a platter, and trim the edges of the platter with the nicest of the celery leaves.

THE MEEKER FAMILY.

Thrilling; Story of Tlwrfr Captivity—How 8a- ... th e ute Woman, Effected Their Release—How the Captives Fared Haring Their Idle Among the Savages. A correspondent of the Denver Tribunt, in chronicling the arrival at Los Pinos Agency of the women and children captured by the Ute Indians at the White River Agency, gives the following highly Interesting narrative of their captivity and final release: The ladies look careworn and fatigued, as they n&turallv would after the experience through which they have passed during the past twenty-five days, twenty-two of which they were captives among savage Indians, in a wild country, and apparently cut off from succor. The ladies express themselves as most thankful for their early deliverance, which was almost more than they dared hope for. Said Mra. Meeker, “I hardly knew what to expect. At times the Indians almost ignored us, and went forward with their oouncils without regarding our presenoe at all; again they jeered, and taunted, and threaten'd ns; at other times they were comparatively Sleasani There was but one who s«emed etermined to protect ns. This wai Susan, Johnson’s wife, who has shown herself, from the beginning to tbe end of the troubles, a woman of flue feeling, and genuinely humane and kind in her disposition to her fellowcreatures. I can never forget her or repay her 1 kindness to myself and daughter, and our entire family. She is a good woman. Yes, as to the threats,’’ said she, being requested to proceed, “we hardly expected to see tbe faces of our friends in a civilized land; yet we never lost hope, yet at times were very despondent indeed. We hoped, and yet we feared, at all times. ” The entire story of the captivity is of interest When Gen. Adams approached, which was noticed by the Indians, they rushed the captives into a secure place in the brush, where he could not see or hear them. They were securely guarded while the conference which was held was in progress. Their camp was on a tributary of the Grand river. Of course the arrival of Gen. Adams was hailed with joy, but five long hours passed before they knew whether he brought them deliverance or he would be compelled to go away and leave them with their horrid captors. The council which succeeded Gen. Adams’ arrival lasted five hours, and was marked by great vehemence on the part of the Indian orators who took part There were two parties—a peace and a war faction—and for a while war seemed bound to win the day. In the pow-wow Susan, the squaw, who is referred to above, took a leading part in the controversy, and she raised her voice for peace, and she did good work. Susan, besides being Johnson’s wife, is a sister of the great chief, Ouray, whose counsel is still more weighty among the Indians. She was supposed to represent her brother in a measure. Her words were listened to with respect, and were allowed to have their full weight Notwithstanding her entreaties and Gen. Adams’ presentation of the case, it at one time seemed as if the Indians wonld refuse absolutely to surrender their captives. They were determined to keep and make the most of them. Snsan was followed by her husband, Johnson, who also made a speech advocating the release of the captives—in fact, made a strong appeal in favor of the women, setting forth their great grief and the advantage to the Indians in this release, which might secure special consideration for them when it should come to arranging a treaty. Ho quoted and dwelt with emphasis on Ouray’s advice to the Northern Utes. It was a novel attempt, as may well he imagined, to see a squaw addressing the hardy warriors. Susan has taken first rank as a leader among them. The instance was the first one on record of a squaw joining an important council and raking a prominent part in it. As is well known, the Utes make slaves of the women, and, so far as their councils are concerned, impose the same silence on them that St. Paul did. It is supposed that in this case Susan was listened to because she wjas supposed to represent Ouray, and to Ouray the Indians now look to save them in procuring a peace. At any rate she obtained a hearing, and she pleaded well. Johnson, her husband, an influential chief, is supposed to have been brought by her to the advocating of a peace policy, for, aB ho will be and has been regarded as in a large measure responsible for it, now to see him come boldly forward and advocate lenient measures convinces one that resolution is possible even among savages. Notwithstanding their oloquont appeals, however, it is probable that the ladies would not bo released had not Gen. Adams risen from his seat aud told the Indians that they must give an affirmative or ho would give immediate orders to the soldiers lo pursue their own course toward tho Indians. They thou promised to release the prisoners unconditionally, with the hope that the General -.would use his best efforts to prevent the invasion of the soldiers for the present The history of tho prisoners during their captivity forms a most pathetic chapter. After the killing of Agent Meeker, tho women attempted to escape into the brush from the burning buildiDg. Mrs. Meoker was fired at, with the result of a flesh wound in the hip, four inches in length. Miss Moeker and Mrs. Price were called to by Indians: “No shoot white woman; stop; Indian no hurt.” They were mounted; Miss Meoker, with M rs. Price’s eldest child, 4 years old, tied behind her; Mrs. Price, with her infant in her arms, and Mrs. Meeker, who is 04 years of age, and lame from her wound. When they struck the camp at midnight, Mrs. Meeker was dismounted, and fell to the ground unable to move, and the Indians surrounded her and added to the misery of the situation by jeering and taunting “ the old white squaw. ” The next mprning they were separated, Douglass retaining the charge of Mrs. Meeker, and reraune taking Miss Meeker, while Mrs. Price and children were in the charge of an Uncompahgre Ute. The sufferings of Mrs. Meeker were indescribable during her stay with Douglass, whose squaw abused her by neglect, pushing, striking and taunts. On one occasion Douglass threw down blankets, and compelled Miss Meeker to dismount, saying they were going into camp. Ho then said they w<Bre going to stab them, and exhibited tho butcher-knives to be used for the purpose. Then he placed a musket to * her forehead, and said, “Indian going to slioot.” The courageous girl never flinched, and laughed at the burly savage. He asked her if she was afraid, and her ready response, “I am not afraid of Indians or dsath,” elicited the admiration of the red devils. They turned upon Chief Douglass in derision, and he slunk from the presence of tho bravo Miss Meeker. Soon after this they were placed in charge of Chief Johnson, and, through the instrumentality of Johnson’s squaw, their condition was very much improved, and further indignities ceased.

Susan proved to be the guardian spirit, and had it not been for her intercession the fate of the women would have formed one of the blackest pages of Indian deviltry. Through the fearful ordeal of captivity Mrs. Price and Miss’ Meeker almost fought for the rights of poor old Mrs. Meeker. They could use a little Spanish and Ute, and their defiauco of intruding Indians, and readiness to resist insult to the old lady, challenged the respect of even the blood-thirsty aborigines. They would push the savages right and left when interfered with, and, on making complaint to Susan, would face the Indians, while Susan laid down the law and penalty; and to this fact may be attributed the many favors of which %ey would otherwise have been deprived. Josie Meeker’s Story—Vivid Details of the Outbreak and Massacre at the Agency— Sufferings of the Captive AVomen. The first I heard of any trouble with the Indians at my father’s agency was the firing at Mr. Price while he was plowing for Indian crops according to Government instructions. The Indians had the idea, and laid, that as soon as the land was plowed it would cease to belong to the Utes. Two or three councils were held, and an Indian woman, Jane, the wife of Panvitts, was the cause of the whole trouble. The trouble seemed settled by two or three councils, secretly, however. The Utes were preparing fora massacre, for just before Eskridge left with the Indians a runner was seen rushing up to the tent of Douglass with what I since ieamed was news of soldiers fighting. Half an hour later twenty armed Indians came to the agency from the camp of Douglass, and began firing. I was in the kitchen with my mother, washing dishes. It was afternoon. I looked out of the window, and saw the Utes shooting the boys working on the new building. Mrs. Price was at the door washing clothes. She rushed in and took Johnnie, the baby, to fly. We ran into the milk-room, which had only one small window, and locked the door, and h'd under a shelf. The firing weDt on for several hours at intervals. There was no shoutiDg, no noise, but frequent firing. We staid in the milk-room until it began to fill with sm' ke. The sun was half an hour high. I took May Price, years old, and we all ran to father’s room. It was not disturbed. We knew the building would be burned,and ran across Douglass avsnne to a field of sage brush beyond plowed ground. The Utes were so busy stealleg annuity goods they did not see us at first About thirty of them, loaded with bl uikets, were carrying them toward Douglass’ camp, near rirs We had gone 100 yards when the Utes saw us. They threw dowD the blankets and cime running toward us ; firing as they came. Ballets whizzed as thick as grasshoppers arouud ns. Ido not think they intended to kill us—only to frighten ua Mother was hit by a bullet, which went through her underclothing, and made a flesh wound three inches long. As the Indians came nearer .they shouted: “Wo no shoot; come to us.” I had a little girl, and an Indian named Pursune said for ma to go with him. He and another Ute seized me by the arms and started Coward the river. An Uncrmpahgre Indian took Mrs. Price and her baby, and mother was taken to the headquarters of Douglass. The Indian Pursune took me wnere ms ponies were standing by the river, and seated me on a pile of blankets. Indians are now on all si’ei. I could not escape. It was now sundown. Packing was finished at dusk, and we started for the wilderness of the south. I rode

ft halve with ft saddle, bat no bridle. The Child wsa lashed behind me. TurSane ahd hie as- - B ;stant rode each side of me, driving pack mules ahead. About twenty other Indiana were in the party. • Mother came later, riding ban back txhind Douglass, both on one horse. She was 64 years old, feeble in health, wonnded. wid not recovered from a broken thigh cahsed by a fall two years ago. Chief Douglass gave her neither • horse, saddle nor blsuketa. We followed the river, and, on the other side, Pnranne brought me a hatful of water to drink. We trotted along until 9 o'clock, whea We halted for a half hour. All the Indians dismounted, and blankets w. re spread upon the ground, and I laid down to rest, with mother lying not far from me. Chief Douglass was considerably excited and made a speech to me with many gestures and great emphasis. Ue recited his grievances and explained why the massacre began. H said Thornburgh told the Indians he was going to &rre3t the head chiefs, take them to Fort Steele, and put them in a calaboose, perhaps hang them. He said my father had written all the letters to the Denver papers, and circulated wild reports about what the Indians would do, and was responsible for all the hostility against the Indians among the whites West. While Douglass was telling this he stood hi front of me with his gun, and bis anger was dreadful. He said father had always been writing to Washington, Then he swore a fearful oath in English, and said if the soldiers had not come aad threatened the Indians with Fort Steele and the calaboose, and threatened to kill other Indians at White river, the Agent wouldn’t have been massacred. Then the brave chief, Douglass, wno had eaten at our table that very day, walked off a few feet, returned, and placed Ms gun to my forehead three times, and asked me & I was going to run away. I told him I was not afraid of him nor of death, and should not run away. When he found his repeated threats could not frighten me, all the other Indians turned on him and laughed at him, and made so much fun he sneaked off, and went over to frighten my mother. All bands took a dri k around my bed; then they saddled their horses, and Pursune led my horse to me, and knelt down on his hands and knees for me to mount my horse from his back. We urged our horses forward, and journeyed in moonlight through to the Grand mountains, with the Indians talking in low tones among themselves. It was after midnight when we made the second halt in a deep and somber canyon. Mother was not allowed to come up. Douglass kept her with him, half a mile * further down the ravine. Then the squaws came, and laughed, and grinned, aud gibbered. When 1 bad lain down on the blankets two squaws sang aud danced fantastically at my feet. Other Indians stood around, and, when the women reached a certain part of their recitative, all broke into laughter. Next day Pursune went to fight the soldiers, and placed me in charge of his wife, with her three children. That same day mother came np to see me in company with a little Indian girL Wednesday, next day, Johnson went over to Jack’s camp, and brought back Mrs. Price and her baby to live in his camp. He said he had made it all right with the other Utes. We did not do anything but be around the various camps and listen to the talk of tho squaws, whose husbands were away fighting the soldiers. Sunday night Jack came, and made a big speech; also Johnson. They said more troops were coming, and recited what orders had been brought from Chief Ouray. They were in great commotion, and did not know what to do. They talked all night, and next morning struck their tents, and put them up again. Part were for going away, part for staying. We had a long ride. Tho cavalcade was fully two miles long. The wind blew a hurrieme, and the dust was so thick we cotild not see ten feet back. Most of the Indians had no breakfast, and we traveled all day without dinner or water. Mother had neither saddle nor stirrups, hut merely a few thicknesses of canvas strapped on the horse’s back, while the young chiefs pranced rout don good saddles. She did not reach Grand river until after dark, and the rido for an invalid and aged woman was long and distressing. After marching south some days tbo Indians said they would stay at their camp, and, if the soldiers advanced, would get them in a canyon aud kill them all. The Utes wore now close to the Uncompahgre district, and could not retreat much farthor. Eight miles more travel in two other days brought us to the camping-ground where Gen. Adams found us. This was near Plateau creek, but high up and not far from the snowy range. Monday night an Uncompahgre Ute camo in and said that, next dty Gen. Adams, whom they called Washington, was coming after the captives. N( xt day kbout 11 o’clock, while sowing in Pursune’s tent, his boy camo in, picked up the buffalo-robe, and wanted me to go to bed. Told him I was not sleepy. Then a squaw came and hung a blanket before tho door and spread out both hands to keep tho blanket down, so I could not push it away, l*t 1 looked over the top and saw Gen. Adams and party outside on horses Tho squaw’s movements attracted their attention and they came up close. 1 pushed the squaw aside and walked out. They arivod my name and dismounted; said they l.a l come to tako us back if wecir. d o go. 1 showed them the tent where mother and Mrs. Price were stopping. Next morning we left for Uncompahgre in charge of Capt. Cline and Mr. Sherman.

Opposilion to Early Railroads.

When tlio Central Railroad was in its infancy, the company experienced great trouble with certain laudowners, whose property had been taken by appraisal, at or near Tribe’s Hill. It was with great difficulty that trains could pass, although a vigilant watch was kept up. Men were stationod with a hand-car just east of the curve leading into Tribe’s Hill from the east, and, when they heard the evening train coming west, they would put on the hand-car just as near ahead of the train as they dared, and run ahead of the train into the station; but between the hand-car and the train the track would be literally strewn with stones, rails, and all manner of obstructions, which were thrown down from the heights above, so that the train would have to stop to clear the track (each train carried men for that purpose), and then proceed at a snail’s pace into the station, i'hen again the tracks would be piled with huge heaps of straw, and the engineer would stop and find nothing but straw. It was usually thought that the straw business was only a scare, but about the first time he attempted to run through without stopping he found a huge bowlder in the center. Thus matters went on from bad to worse; an attempt was made to burn one of the company’s bridges near this village. This was so highly criminal, and it was made so hot for some persons, that hostilities ceased. Upon one occasion, George Cox, who, with his brothers, Tom and Maxwell, were well known up and down the valley as locomotive engineers, was watching the track near Tribe’s Hill with a shot gun, with instructions to shoot the first man he saw placing any obstructions on the track. It was quite dark, and at a short distance from him he saw two men carry something large and heavy and place it on the track. His first impulse was to shoot, and he hauled up, but he hated to take human life, and thought he would steal upon them and see who they were. He did so, and found that they were two travelers who had come from the canal with their chest to take the train, and, being tired, had set it down to rest.. —Amsterdam (N. Y.J Democrat.

Silk from the Sea.

The sea yields many precious things —coral, amber and pearls—but it is not generally known that in some parts of the Mediterranean a species of mussel is found of which the shells contain one of the most beautiful textile materials known. These shells are about seven inches long and three inches broad, and each of them contains a hank or byssus of the fiber, weighing half a drachm, and at first it presents nothing particular to the eye, being soiled with mud and the remains of marine plants. But, when washed and combed the fibers are seen to be extremely lustrous, glistening in the sunshine in shades varying from a golden yellow to olive brovn. Spun and woven in the ordinary manner, stockings, gloves, neckties and similar articles can be manufactured from them, and they are likewise suited for making the finest lace. At present the production of these fibers hardly exceeds 200 kilogrammes (3 cwt. 3 qrs.) a year. Specimens of these curious mussels and their finished products were exhibited at the recent Paris Exhibition, but they appear tojhave been overlooked.

A Blockade That Should Be Raised.

The egress from the system of waste material through the natural channels should be rendered free, without loss of time, when a blockade is produced by an attack of constipation, a disorder which, if It becomes chronic, is productive qf serious bodily mischief. Jaundice, severe headache, nausea, dyspepsia, the usual concomitants of the malady mentioned, all indicate that the bodily functions are materially interfered with. Hoe tetter’s Bitters is particularly efficacious in cases of this sort, and renders the habit of body perfectly regular. It is a medicine greatly to be preferred to drastic cathartics, which are well calculated to drench, but unhappily also to weaken the intestines. We say unhappily, since such medicines are the favorite resource of many ill-ad-vised persons, who resort to them upon the most trivial occasion, and greatly to their discomfort and injury.
