THE LOST CHIEF.
Mn. Enrron: In jour Issue of the 11th Inst.
I observed an Item heailod "Tocumbeh's Ile
turu to Klamath," contain references to the
in Morions disappearance of Dave Hill, the
Klamath Chief, anil concluding with the ex
pression of a hope that the facts in the case
lx tnado public.
I fcorlously regret that up to the latest ac
count from New York Clly no trace has been
found of tho missing man. It is feared that
tho keen-scented detectives, who have boon
encaged In the case ever since t ho next morn
ing after Dave disappeared, will fall to throw
Ilebt upon this apparently Impenetrable
mystery. It is true that they are shadowing
certain suspicious Individuals in the olty, yet
kidnapping has been reduced to such a slate
ol perfection that many doubt the finding of
el'her Charlie Koss or Dvld Hill.
Probably when the details of the abduction
of Chaille Koss became almost universally
known, ami so many shrewd detectives were
engaged In tho hunt, his abductors were com
pelled to take bis lifo to prevent detection,
and It is feared that poor Dave may suffer
the same fate.
Of couro various speculations have been
indulged in relative to the cause of his disap
pearance, but the favorlto theory Is that he
viis kidnapped in the hopeofareward.olther
fioru the p-irtles who were under obligations
to return him to his Kesorvation, or from the
Indian Department, to which he was known
as u prominent chief and n faithful employe.
Or ho might have been xhanghicd or, as
the term nlgnllloH, pressed Into the servlco of
rionio veihbl an a hand. Hon. A. C. Squires,
of Brooklyn, and others, who have known
clicumstanccs of tho kind, favor this Idea,
mid bay that, at the present time, seamen are
particularly scarce, and that extraordinary
ellurts are being made to recruit decimated
crows.
Again: As he was a superior specimen of
the aborlglual raco tall, active, athletic, and
n splendid archer he might have been drug
ged and carried on board of some vessel to
bo taken to Europe for exhibition. And yet
ouo can hardly soe how he could be exhibit
ed to advantage even in Kuropo without be
ing advertised, and thus the fact come to the
knowledge of some vigilant U. S. Minister.
As the ill-fated Schiller sailed on the very
da j', or tho day after, Dave's disappearance,
it was thought possible ho might have been
on board; but there was not the slightest ev
idence of the fact. If the great spirit-writer,
Mansfield, was in actual communication with
the departed essence of the famous Chief of
hava Beds when he penned the following
too vague communication, either Dave was
then afloat on the bosom of the mighty deop
or the spirit of Jack has little regard tor the
truth:
"Poor fellow Is that the word well he Is
Tntinh sorry now he was led away by a
whlto 'wicked' man I think now on water
he no como hack now poor Dave ho Is
very sorry now. Captain Jack.
Again: Tberols many a dark corner In New
York City; many a subterranean den not
een known to the police or even petrated
by tho keenest detectives, where demons la
human form lie in wait for their victims,
ready to take tho life of a man for a dollar.
Yes; as shrewd a man as Dave was he conW
not bellovo thut there were such refinements
of villainy among a pooplo so far ahead o his
own In all tho aocompllsumeuts of clvlllxa
lion, among whom the "whlto man's law,"
of which ho had come to learn more fi- the
bonellt of his people, was supposed to be vig

few days when Dive disappeared, and wore
u v that lime in Indian Territory, yot I could
not but suspicion that they had Instigated
some villain under promise of future roward
to got muiy with Dave. This suspicion I
prudlouod upon my knowledge ofthe super
latively treacherous character of those people
and llielr malice towards Dave for having
taken prt against them durlug tho war.
lint these are mere speculations. All wo
know positively U that on tho UStli of April,
1S75, Dave Hill was with his friend Tecum
Mu, In George Harney's room, 111 the St
Charles Hotel, MS Broadway, where we were
all stopping at the time; that Dave went out
of tho room and that he was never seen after
ward. Tecumseh supposing that he had
cone to the room they occupied together, af
ter talking with Ilaruey, the Uogue ltlvor
Chlof.a tew momonts went out, but Dave
. not to bo found about the house. This
was about uoou. Nothing was missed from
anv of the rooms excepting a tomahawk,
wlitoh IHvo had received as a present. But
the tomahawk had not been seen tor some
days, aud might have been stolen by some
one about the house. Tecumseh remember
ed Davo telling him that he was going to
have the handle taken out so that he could
put tho tomakawk In hN truuk, and when It
could not bo found he thought Diva might
liavo taken it to some shop to get the handle
taken out. Durlug the afternoon wo grow
quite uneasy, but still hoped that Davo
would be on hand In time for tho meeting at
Cooper Institute in tho evening, at which ho
had been advertised as one ot tho speakers;
but as bo dlil not apjwar, tho matter was re
ported to Polloo Headquarters at 11 o clock
flint tilulit.
Dave. Tecumseh and Harn6y had about
fulfilled their mission. Had seen the Com
missioner of Indian Affairs and talked over
the Interests of their people with him; had
pressed the hand of the Groat Father, and,
before various audiences, had, with their pe
culiar eloquence, made strong Impresstons
in Mvor of Indian civilization, and ttiey were
rexdy and anxious to go home. The enter
prise had not proved a financial success, and
it was arranged that I should leave New
York on tho 30th of April, by water, for San
Francisco, bringing these people with me;
but wben Dave disappeared tbe plan was
abundoned, aud we remained nearly three
weeks longer, hoplug to hear something
from (he lost chief.
It is possible that Dave wan so much afraid
ofthe Big Water that be preferred to under
take to cross the continent perhaps not real
izing the magnitude of the undertaking
working here and there to get money to pay
bis fares. He seemed satisfied to go any
where with Tecumseh and I, and expressed
no fear ofthe sea, but may have suppressed
his real feelings lest he might appear child
ish. In case be had undertaken this difficult
enterprise he would think of much use lor
the tomahawk on the journey.
Now for tbe biography: David Hill, or
Walax Skt-dat, was about 3 years of age.
His father was the Klamath Chief Skldat who
met John C. Fremont on the Klamath marsh
In 1813, and piloted him on bis Journey to
wards Summer Lake. The old man was a
consistent friend to the whites always. Dave
first distinguished himself as a young war
rior In wars between tbe Klamaths and tbe
surrounding tribes; and after the advent of
the whites always proved himself a faithful
friend aud courageous ally. He was the chief
Klamath scout during the Snake war, and
chief of Klamath scouts during the Modoo
war operating with the troops, and at the
time he left the Iteservatlon was the acknowl
edged leader iu tbe civilization of bis people.
His loss will be severely felt, not only by his
own people, but bv many whites, who have
found In Dave Hill a true and faithful friend.

E. F. HAMMOND IN. PORTLAND.
The coming of this noted evangelist to
Portland was balled as a harbinger of good,
and the Methodist, Presbyterian, Congrega
tlonalist and Baptist Churobes united hearti
ly In laboring for tbe conversion of sinners,
and in making all needed preparations for
an active campaign. On Thursday evening,
one week ago, the Presbyterian Church was
densely crowded and many went away un
able to sit or stand within. Friday evening
tbe M. E. Church, the largest church in the
city was overflowing. Sunday, at 2:30 o'oljck
the Blxating rink, OOxlt feet, waa oponed,
having been fitted up.wlth seats andiplat
form. Fully 500 people were waiting at the
door, and at 3 o'clock every part wa full.
Hundreds stood around the entrances, and
many went away. I carefully estimated the
sittings and found over 2,000 present after
noon and evening. Mare seats were brought
in at night, and a stroeg feeling pravalled.
Short speeches were, made by eaclt of the
pastors engaged. Monday and Tuesday af
ternoons were occupied with ohildrea's meet
ing, at which many have been truly.convert
ed. Some reports have made llghi of these
eUbits, but the candid, earnest testimonies of
tbe children and youth fully convince
many of us of tho genuine work.
This (Wednesday)) morning a n-,ost enthusi
astic prayer mooting was held 1 tbe Bapth t
Church, although tbe rain fell steadily dur-
) ing tbe entire sawtlon. Mr. Jackson, a mer-
ohant in Portla&d, said be had thought him-
liself too busy t attend these meetings, and
bad planned a business visa to the coun
try, but his. business had kspt him homes
and now by. -was determined to let the busi
ness go for a time and tend to this most im
portant business. His brother was convert
ed under Mr. H., at Loekport, N. Y., while
Mayor of tho citv. Rev. I. Y. Hough, pastor
elect or the Baptist Church of Oregon City, is
working In a lively way, and Rev. J. C Ba
ker, S. S. Missionary from California, and
many ministers of different parts aro laboring
to belp on the good works.
After the morning meeting Bro Hammond
and sovoral other clergymen visited nearly
ovory liquor house In town, inviting all to go
to tho rink this evening, and wore pleasant
autly received everywhere.
Mr. II. abuses nobody, scares nobody
whatever tho papers may say. His pleadings
aie all bused upon the love of Ood as shown
lu Ohrlst, and often the staid servants aro
troubled with the pleasant humor of his sto
ries. It is hoped that next week oxcursions
w.ll bo formed from the country for attend
ing liis meetings, which will bo held every
evening at tho rink. Entertainment Com

THAT BUNKER HILL POWDER.
Evory pood student of history bns
learned that the buttle of Bunker Hill
was lost to the American? ciiielly be
cause they had not enough powder.
Tho Klnp having: opposed, by every
means in his power, the manufacture of
munitions of war in the colonies, the
patriots at first found prcat difficulty in
procuring ammunition; and the sup
plies for the early part ot tne war wore
obtained in such adventurous ways that
accounts of these exploits are very in
teresting. Indeed, a portion of even
the scantv stock which our people-had
at Bunker Hill had been brought over
the sea to- be used against tne enemies
of Great Britain.
Ihaveonlv recently found out' just
how this powder come fro do service-for
the patriots, instead oi tneir uriusnop
pressorsf and, being quite sure that1 the
story has nover been fully told, I linvo
undertaken its recital for the pleasure
of the numberless young patriots-who

Adjoining the town of Rye, in New
Hampshire, and directly north of its
noted beach, is the town of Newcastle.
On the site ofthe present FortConstitu
tion in this town there was, in the days
ofthe Revolution, a quite formidable
work culled "Fort William and Mary."
No visit from a foreign enemy being
anticipated, tho fort was manned at
this time by a captain and five privates
only. A. weak garrison, surely; but it
was supposed that, in case of danger,
the friendsof King George in the nciglv
borhood would amply reinforce the
guard, oven were there not time for the
royal Governor, Wentworth, to bring
tho militia to the rescue. As to any
soriousattack by disaffected Inhabitants,
it was too bold an act for belief; and1 if
it were possible, in any case, thnt'the
militia should provo-insufHcient, Gen
oral Gage, with three thousand regullirs,
was in Boston, and a British fleettwus
In its harbor.
What subject, however rebellious,
would dare to touch his Majesty's prop
erty, or its custodian?, under those cir
cumstances? The act would bo treason,
and the life and possessions of the of
fender would be forfeited; anil) who
could save him from the King's Hand!:
Probably not oven tho most ardent pa
triot thought of it until Paul Severe
came -riding into tavvn from Boston on
evening.
Th news ho brought was startling-.
An order had corae from the Ktog.- that
all military storeaJn tho coloniesshould
be ssizetl at once. Major John Langdoo
(afterward Governor) the same evening
received a call from his friend,. Gaptain
Tlwmas Pickeringv After tho- compli
ments of tho hoar had been passed, the
Captain surprised, his friends by. an in
vitation to accompany hinato! Fort
William and JJCary to take atglass of
wdne with its commander.
"it will noStdo," replied the- Major,
cautiously evading the decftirntioo of
hfa own sentiments; "it will not do un
dter the present state of puhtfc affiiirs."
Major Laugdon's sympathies were

nition of the fort; showiwg his purpose
to bo qulce other than the invitation

"If twenty-eight like-ourselves could
bo found.," said ho, "I would undertake
to lead in tho capture."'
To this purpose Majoi' Langdon heart
ily assc-nted.
Before noon of tho next day a drum
and flfo wero souuding about town to
liriii!? tho neonlo toaothor: and tho order
of tho King for securing tho ammuni
tion was inatlo Known, xne eiieci oi
this news was increased by a report that
tho armed vessels Scarborough and uau
ccaux wero on their way from Boston
with British troons to possess tho fost
and hold the town in awe. ,
When Governor Wentwortn nenrti oi
this meeting of tho citizens, lie warned
them against committing any rash act;
and as tho people soon dispersed, it was
supposed that nothing would come of
tho meeting. But this was a mistake.
A littlo boforo twelve that night it
was tho fourteenth of December, 1774
tho nearly full moon looked down upon
somo two hundred men sotting out in
boats from Portsmouth wharves, and
heading for Newcastle.
Half an hour later their boats ground
ed near tho island, and tho men waded
ashore through tho shallow water,
which froze upon their clothing. ot
the landing had been so quiet that no
attention was attracted at tho fort. Cap
tain Pickering, being in advance of tho
others, sealed the grassy rampart unat
tended, and seizing tho sentinel with
ono hand and his gun with the other,
ho demanded silence on pain of instant
death. , , ,
Crowds of men wero now ciamoerii'g
up tho walls; and, leaving the sentinel
in their charge, tho leader hastened on
to tho quarters ofthe commandant. Ho
entored tho room beforo that omcer
was fairly awake, announcing to him
that tho fort was captured and he a
prisonor. Ho had previously been
warned that an attack upon the fort was
meditated, yot ids garrison was not on
tho alert; and ho at once surrendered
to tho only man that appeared. He gayo
his sword to Captain Pickering, who
politely returned it, saying:
"You nro a gentleman, and shall re
tain your side-arms."
Pickoring turnod to leavo him, when
tho dishonorable otHcer, having him nt

his owu sword, felled tho miscreant to
tho ground with his clenched hand
His lollowers were now at the door, and
tho fallen officer was placed under
guard. The remnant of tho garrison
gave no trouble.
The mllltnrv .itorrs wero now sought

One of Whittlor's most charmnlng poems,
"School Days," Is devoted to showing the re

having spelled down
tbe little boy
Her childish favor singled.
"I'm sorry that I spelt the word,
I bate go above you,
Because" tne brown eyes lower fell
"Because, you see, I love you."
Still memory to a gray-haired man
That sweet child face is showing;
Dear girl, the grasses on her grave
Have forty years been growing.
He lives to learn in life's hard school
How few who pass above him
Daraent the triumph and his loss
Like her because they love him.
An Answer.
You ask me, wondering, why I sing,
And why my lips in laughter pari;
The ripples ot my mirth all spring
From the deep sorrow at my heart.
A smile Is easier than a tear
That serves to keep sad memories green,
And always, through what is, I hear
The echoes of what might baye been.
