Wabash PlainUeaierl ...... In a few months the Jasfc remnant of the Indian tribes, that once owned this magnificent Wabash valley and adjacent country, will commence to disintegrate and crumble away. They will then have received their last payment from . the government, their

reservation will be thrown open to general settlement and they will drift here and there and finally disappear. It seems like a dream, and one can scarcely realize it that , the handful of

1 red men, now within the borders of

i. this county, were -almost within the memory of our oldest citizens, and : only sixty-eight years ago, a powerful "; and warlike tribe giving battle to the regular troops of the United States, at - their village in Liberty township. Yet I it is true. The old battle grounds, Mr. '..'Charles Sailors, who resides near it, tells up when he came there, some thirty years ago, could be plainly dislanguished by the bullet marks in the trees. Only a few years ago Hon. - Elijah Hackleman, the late A. P. Fer

ry, wui Morse ana otners visited tne

battle field just below Xafontaine, on

the borders of Grant county, and among other relics brought back at

1 least a half bushel of horse shoes from

the field, all that was left of the large

number of the dragoon's horses that were slain. Old Meshingomasia. the

1 chief, waslhen alive and pointed out all the places of interest. In Dillon's

historv of Indiana, a brief account of

this battle at iAfontaine is given

whieh as regards its effect in breaking the power and spirit of the Miami? and

Indiana savages, was second oniy. in

importance to the great battle of Tip

pecanoe. During 1812 the Miamis had been growing hostile. They hadref used

to attend the council at Piqua, O., and

announced that they had "taKen up

the tomahawk." so chat nothing was

left but to conquer and erufh. them.

The duty of attacking and destroying

tneir villages on tne iuississmewa was assigned by. General Harrison, then in command of the army, to Lieutenantcolonel John B. Campbell, of the 19 th regiment, United States army, who, with six hundred Kentucky dragoons, commanded by Col.Simrall, a squadron of mounted volunteers, commanded by Major James V. Ball, a company of infantry. Butter's Pittsburg SBlues, Alexander's Pennsylvania riflemen, and a coinp&ny of scouts marched from Franklin gton, Ohio, to 'subdue die refectory Miamis. In his letter of instructions to Col. Campbell, General Harrison wished some of the Miamis to;be saved from destruction. He said, There are, however, some of the Miami chiefs Who have undeviatingly exerted themselves to keep their warriors quiet, and to preserve their friendly relations with us. This has been the case with lUchardville (a half Frenchman, the second chief of the Miamis), Silver Heels, the White Loon, certainty, and perhaps of Pecan I the principal chief of the Miamis, and Charley, the principal i of the Eel River tribe. It is n ot my wish that you should incur any risk in saving those people: but if it can be

done without risk.it would be extremely gratifying o me and no doubt to the president. ? " An old Canadian, by the came of Godfrey, has lived there several years, and has a squaw . for his wife. ; He is and always has been a friend' to the?. United States. There will be no., difficulty in saving him, as his house is .aoart from the Colonel Campbell devasted "the country all the way along the Mississinewa and tOTards the last of December arrived before, the .Indian village, nearly on the site where now stan ds Lafontain. At 4o'clock in the morning Campbell's camp was vigorously attacked, the Indians boldly -rushing upon the very lines of tents; whieh were", however, protected by slight earthworks. At the first fire Cfcptain Pierce was killed, receiving two balls through the body and being tomah&wked. The Indians were well armed and poured . in a tremendous fire which" was as warmly returned. The dragoon soon formed behind their horses and from this shelter fought all through the long hours of the grav dawn, la his offic

Major McDowell, with a smallparty, rushed into the midstof the enemy and exposed himself very much I can not say too much for this gallant veteran.

Captain Johnson did not join Trotted uritii the enemy was out of reach.5"- He,however, picked up a straggler or two that Trotter had passed over. The cavalry returned 'and informed me that the enemy had fled pre cipitately. I have,

on this occasion, to lament the loss of

several brave men,and many wounded; among the former are Captain Pierce, of the Ohio volunteers and Lieutenant Waltz, of Markle's troop.""' ' In this engagement the loss to the United States troops was eight . killed and forty-two wounded, several oi which afterward died of their wounds. The number of horses killed was one hundred and seven. ' which accounts for the large number of iron shoes found by Mr. Hackleman and his party. Fifteen Indians? were found on the battle ground and it is probable that an equal number were carried away dead or mortally wounded. The Indian force engaged in the battle was inferior in numbers to that under the command of Lieutenant Colonel.

she had put up at a druggists, consisting of a little water, colored with a lit

usuall poured some of it in a wine

into another room, where she watched

him cooly open the window and throw it out. She . then rushed back, apparently frantic with grief, and im

plored him not to commit the rash act. He merelv pointed at the glass,

and laying; on the floor, began to kick out hislegs like a jumping .jack? She

told him she was determined to share

his fate, and swallowed" the rest. of the liquorice water, whereupon he became really; frightened, confessed that he was only shamming, and said if she only survived he would never trouble her again. Then she explained the

ruse, and he was so mortiued that he tried to buy up the silence of the neigh

When the parents of the bride were in

refused to rive credit to it. and, ac

daughter to accompany her husband to his home in Yonkers. Mr. Clifford concluded to have the matter settled

at once, and, accordingly, consulted

Mr. D. B. Jfinclish, a lawyer or rater-

son. Tne result was that a writ oi

labeas corpus was granted by. Judge

Dixon on Tuesday, and made return

taken care of her all her life, and did

not know whv thev should not cori-

hey did not want to deprive her of her

iberty in any way. Mr, Ciinora then

reduced the marriaere certificate, and

he had told them was not mere fiction,

but the truth. The court gave the custody" of the blind bride to. -her husband and he led her away, the happiest man in the courtroom.

A DeathiBeQonfessign. Chicago Tribune; v 3rr r m'1' ; . The little town of Crisdeld, iu the lower part of Maryland, is at present exercised over a singular sensation, which proves only too" terribly the old axiom that the innocent are oftentimes made to suffer for the crimes of the guilty. The startling story - is' the death-bed confession to-day of a dying woman, that she and nor son, the latter recently deceased , were the mu rderers of a well-known.mferchant near Crisfield about eighteen years ago, for which crime two negros were convict

ed and hanged.... The woman who is

alleged to have made the confession, the authorities for the present keeping the matter quiet, is one Patty A Ward, living a few mile from Crisfield. She is dying with a cancer, and is said to be in great terror of meeting her Maker with so awful a crime upon her soul. It is understood that she has freely confessed the full dativils of the horrible affair, in whieh she discloses the fact that she? together with -her son, murdered Azariah Doughterty, who was found lying dead is his store in the latter part of the year 1S62 When her son died a few months ago, in his last moments he gasned to his friends surrounding his bedside that he wished to reveal something, bur a gesture from his mother proven i ed him .

Lincoln and Douglas as Lawyers,

I, N. Arnold. 'J

Lincoln and Douglas were both self

educated, and each the builder of his own fortune. Each became very early

the recognized leader of the. political

party to which! he belonged.

Douglas was bold, imhincmm?, im

petuous, denunciatory aud determined.

He possessed, in an .eminent degree,

the qualities which create per.-onal

popularity, and; was the idol of his

riends.

Both Lincolju and Douglas wore

strong jury lawyers. Lincoln on the

whole, was thejstrougest jury lawyer

we ever had m llliriois, Both were

distinguished for their ability in seizing

and bringing. out distinctly find clear-

y, the real ponies an a case.

Both were v?ry happy in tne ex

amination of witnesses; I think Lincoln the stronger of the two in crossexamination. He could compel a

witness to tell the truth when he

meant to lie. He could make a jury

augh, and, generally, weep at his

pleasure. Lincoln on the right side, and especially when injustice or fraud

were to be exnoed, was tae strongest

advocate. On the wrong side, or on

the defense, where the accused was

really fruilty, the client wiih Douglas

for his advocate would be more fortunate than with Lincoln. Lincoln studied his cases thoroughly and . exhaustively. Douglas had a wonderful, faculty of extracting from his associates, from experts and others, by conversation!, all they knew of a subiect'he was to discuss, and then make it so .thoroughly his that all seemed to have originated with himself.

, A Gambling Incident. A lady ot ranM in Paris died recently in the fashionalcjle quarter of the Arc de Triomphe, oifiwhom an interesting story is told. She was a famous card player, and was credited with knowing every game there was to know. When traveling in a foreign land she had, one day, in a fhotel, met a Russian lady with that passion for gambling, said to be inherent in the Bussian nation. Anxious to play with the lady from Paris, she wrote requesting a :few games.' Herreduesb was granted, and the ladies played all night, the Russian loosing at every! hand, until her opponent had won from her more money than the mines in the Ural had produced for her revenues in twenty-Jive years. At last j he Russian lady m ade a despairing eftoh to regain h er fortune, but without avjail. Rising from the table, she told the French lady how she bad lost moife than she possessed, but that iii her desire to pay a debt of honor she would instruct her steward to convey to heif the title deeds of all the mines and estate she o wned. At this the victorious antagonist, smiled and requested t&at she might have her own way in the! matter, since she had won. A priest and a lawyer were sent for! When they arrived, the Russian lady was asked ' to bind herself by a solemn-oath never again to touch a card or risk money at any game of chance: She did so, and then signed an. engagement jto pay her antagonist the aunual sum of $2,000. The vow never to play. cards for money again she faithfully kept, and the $2,000 was punctually paid e very year, the French lady giving it tUe name of the .."Queen

Peck's Sun.

A fat. Louis doctor factory, recently

turned out a dozen female doctors. As

long as the female doctors were con-

fined to one or two in the whole coun

try, and those were only experimental,

the bun held its peace, and did not

complain; but now that the colleges are engaged in producing female doc

tors as a business, we must protest,

and m so doing will give a few reasons why female doctors will not prove a

paying branch of industry. In the

first place,-if they doctor anybody it

must be a woman, and three-fourths of the women had rathei have a male doctor. Suppose these colleges turn out female doctors until there is as many of them as there is of male doctors, what have they got to practice onV A man, if there was nothing the matter with him, might call in a fern ale doc tor, bu t i f he was as sick as a horse, (if a man is sick he is sick as a horse), the last thing he would have around .would be a female doctor And why? Because, when a man wants a female fumbling around him, he wants to feel well. He., don't want to be bilious, or feverish, with his eyes bloodshot, and his mouth tasting like cheese, when a female is looking him over and taking an account of stock. Of course these female doctors are allyoung and good-looking, and if one of them came into a sick room where a man was iu bed, and he had chills.

and was as cold as a wedge;-and 'she

should sit up close to the Bide of the bed and take hold of his hand, his

pulse. would. run up to one hundred

and fifty, and she would nrescribe for

a foyer when he had chilblains. Then

if he died, she could be arrested for

malpractice. O, you can't fool us on

female doctors. A man who has been

sick and had male doctors, knows just

how much he would feel to have a female doctor to come tripping in and

throw her fur-liaed cloak over a chair,

take oft her hat and gloves and throw them on a lounge, and come up to the

bed with a pair of marine blue eyes,

with a twinkle in the corner, and

look him in the wild, chanfiieable eyes,

and ask him to run out his tongue. Suppose he knew his tongue was coated so it looked like a yellow Turkish

to wel, do you suppose he would like to L -1 - t 1 -t .

run out nve or six incues 01 me lower

nd of it, and let that female doctor

put hsr finger on it to see how lurry it wa.s? Not much. He would nut that

tougne un into his cheek, and wouldn't

her see it for twenty-live cents ad

mission.

We have .all seen doctors put their

hands under the bed clothes and feel

of a man's feet, to see if they were cold. If a female doctor should do thaMt would give a man cramps in the legs . A. male doctor can put his hands on a man '8 stomach, and liver and lungs, and ask him if he feels any pain there, but if a female doctor should do the same-thing it would make a man sick, and he would want to get up and kick himself for employing a female doctor. O, there is no use a talking, it would sill a man. Now, suppose a man has heart disease, and a female doctor should want to listen to the beating of the heart. She would lay her left ear on his left breast, so her eyes and rosebud mouth :

would be looking right in. his face, and her. wavy. hair would be scattered all around there, getting tangled iu the but tons of his night shirt. .Don't you suppose his heart would get in about 20 extra beats to the minute? You bet! And she would smile we will bet $70 she would smile and show her pretty pearly teeth, aud the ripe lips would be working as thought she were counting the beats, and he would think she was trying to whisper to him, and Well, wttat would he be doing all this time? If he was not dead yet, which would bea wonder, his left hand would brush th e hair away from her temple and kind of stay there to keep the hair away, and her left hand would get a sort of nervous and move around to the back of his head, and when she had counted the beats a few minutes and was raising her head he would draw the head up to him and kiss her once for luck", if he was as bilious as a Jersey swamp angel, and have her charge it in the bill. And when a reaction would set iu, and he be as weak as a cat, and ahe. would hve to fan him and rub his head till he got over being nervous, and then make out his prescription al ter he got asleep. No; all of a man's symptoms ehange when a female doctor is practicing on him and she would kill him dead. The Sun is a woman's rights paper, and believes in allowing women to do anything they can do as well as men are paid for the same work, taking all things into consideration ; nut it is opposed to their trifling with human life by doctoring a total stranger. These colleges are doing a great wrong in preparing these female doctors for the war path, and we desire to enter a protest in behalf of twenty millions who could not stand the pressure.

The Bible and JBob. , Burlington Hawkey e. Some one sends us a little tract containing epigrammatic expressions from Colonel Robert G. Ingersoli's latest lecture. "What must we, do to be saved." We have read the tract and we have read the entire lecture. If this is truly Ingersoli's creed, the Colonel isn't so far out of the way He is coming arouud, maybe. He. manages to get considerable scripture into his creed, as he sets it forth. There. is lots cf hope, in fact there is a great deal of certainty for the Colonel. We subjoin a few articles from this man's creed, just to sliow from what book he got his declaration of faith : ."Honest industry is as good as pious idleness," savs the Colonel. Well that's, all right, That's orthodox. The Bible says the same thing, and said it long before the Colonel thought of it "Faith without works is

dead." "Christ belived the temple of God to be the heart of man." -Ingersoll. Yes, that's orthodox, top. We "must worship him in spirit," "Know re not that ye are the temples of the Holy Ghost." ,.. . "If I go to heaven I want to take my reason with me." Ingersoll. Of course, and so you will, 4for now we see through a glass, darkly, but there face to face; now I know in part, but then 1 shall know even as I am known." Corinthians, xhi, 12. -"Fear is a dagger with which hypocraby assassinates the soul.'! f Ingersoll. - , That is good gospel, and "perfect lone casteth out fear." "If I owe Smith ten dollars, , and God forgives me, that doesn't pay Smith." r-Ingersoll. Correct you are; and the prayer of Christianity is "forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors." Owe no man imy thing. - Reason is the light of tne soul, and if you haven;fc the right to follow it what have you a right to follow" flngersoll. ...... .,. " "Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten, thousand words in an unknown tongue. Brethren, be not children in understanding; howbelt in malice be ye children, but in understanding ye be men."-HX CJorinthians, xvi, 10, 20. If you go to hell, it will be for not practising the virtues which th e sermon on the mount proclaims," Ingersoll. That's all orthodox. ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them." J The men who saw the imiracles all died long ago. I wasn't acquainted with. any of 'em. Ingersoll. Same way with th emeu who saw

T Servetus burned. But the CJoJonel most

firmly belie V3s that Servetus was burned. ' : "A little miracle now, ri gh t h ere -just a little one would do more toward the advancement of Christianity tium all the preaching of the" last thirty years." Ingersoll. If they hear not Moses 'aud the prophets, neither will they be persuaded
