We were young and foolish, she and I, As we roamed the .summer woods, Where the llowers grow and the breezes sih, And the pine tree gravely nods ; And I told her of a promised home, lleyond a wide, troubled .sea, Where she and I together might roam Into eternity. And I held her own in my burnimr hand, As we stood 'neath the nodding pine. While I spoke of that far-oil" golden land. Whieh Hows with oil and wine. And I saw her faee, like an angel's face, and her blue eye turned on me "I would follow you, love, from place to place, Into eternity." We were young and foolish, she and I, As we roamed those summer woods, And I think, with a weary, bitter nigh, Or' the place where the nine tree nods. For the distant home that I told her of, Across a wide, troll Lieu sea. Is the land where angels dwell in love, Into eternity. In inv dreams alone I am with her there, And I hold her patient hand; But I still keep looking lor mv share Of that long promised land Where once again on her angel face 1 hat glad liyht I mav see. And by her side 1 shall take niy place lhrough all etermtv. in lUcijant Tribute to C;c:.eral I.ec. Tho London Stanlartl, in tho course of an article upon the crit ique of the Edinlmrg Rer!eir, of the lite and character of deneral .Lee, pays the following truthful and elo quent tribute to the great captain. It says: lie h.i.l lost fortune and home in the war, by 2ilklne an wanton de struction; he was prescribed; he de clined to draw vengeance on his State by talcing open part in her pol ities, the commander-in-chief of a national army condescended to the control of a military school, and to a life of silence and obscurity. Uutall Southern eyes were fixed upon him, and his influence was used to keep them calm and patient, and to re tach them to the Union which had conquered ami was crushing them, liven while their wrongs and mis eries w ere wearing out his Hie he cheeked every utterance of resent ment, every expression of hope for a future deliverance. ' We are all Americans now." He would allow no toasts to the Lost Cause, no hon ors to the fallen banner. He bore his burden with simple, unailected, patient heroism. Other men may have approached him in war and achievement: none capable of deeds like his ever rival led him in endurance and submis sion under hopeless defeat. A Cato would have fallen on his sword, a IJrutus might have conspired; Han nibal endured only in the hope of re venge and retrieval. nt (Jeneral Lee not only endured, but submit ted, and that without suffering his country to entertain even the wish to renew the struggle. He had to endure for some weary years, and then the release. The overwrought nerves suddenly gave wav: he sank at once from perfect selfpossession and apparent health into collapse and speechlessness, and died as lit erally "of a broken heart " as ever despairing patriot or defeated sol dier more truly far than most "bro ken hearted" victims of private grief. So he passed away from the coun try he could neither save by his sword nor restore to happiness by his counsels, but which he had crowned in war, and rescued in de feat from useless struggles and tleeper misery. He has left behind him no rival of her love, no object of equal pride anil reverence. Nor is his fame con fined to the South. Wherever the English tongue is spoken his name is revered and honored a name to which history furnishes few equals in military renown, none in moral grandeur; the name of one who real ized in actual life the dreams of ideal chivalry so great in victory that none ever surpassed, so much greater in defeat that none ever ap roached him; the patriot without a thought of self, the hero without a shade of affectation or display; the man who would neither despair of his country nor conspire against her conquerors; ideal soldier and per fect citizen, a Christian without pre tensions and a gentlemen without flaw. Will Conoceiis Tovkhty. I have leen far oftener surprised to see how the will triumphs over obstacles than I have to see the obstacles tri umph over the' will to work. ltirht and left are Avonien with infant chil dren, and incapable, invalid, or dis sipated husbands, surmounting hin drances, and earning not only a liv ing, hut a competence, by sheer pluck, or if that is not an admissible word, will. I see men with indiffer ent health, but sturdy self reliance and creditable pride, by steady in d'; -try, buying and building houses, lifting mortgages, growing grad ually and surely into prominent and permanent respeetihihty ; while others, who started with apparentlv equal or superior advantages, falter and fail simply from indolence or feebleness of purpose. We pitv them. Every healthy mind must despise them. Every healthy mind must despise that trait which per mits a man or a woman to prefer ig noble ease to a. dignified though hardly -earned independence; which permits the day-laborer to live boun tifully on to-day's wages, without laying by and store for the morrow, on which he cannot work.

LAST SCHXIW IX Til LI MOUOC WAU. Probable Fate of Captain Jack. General Davis' Policy. The Modccs do not I'ear Death. The Ilcgiiiiiing of the did General Davis Hanging Arrange ments Interrupted. Personal of the Modoc Chiefs. Interview with Captain Jack. Boyle's ('amp, June 5. The cap ture of Captain Jack all save a few of the adherents to his cause, con tinues to engross the attention of the officers and men in this camp. The excellent results of the last three w eeks of the campaign are attributed to the strategy and diplomacy of (.teneral Duvis, as well as the zeal and ability of .Major llasbrook, Col. Green, Colonel 1'erry and other offi cers who have figured creditably in the scouts. The General planned the scouts and directed .each com mander how to act. His orders have been brief and to the point, and generally in eH'oct: " Eind anil fight or capture the Indians, and stav bv them if possi ble. Do not return to camp without a brush with the foe. I will forward rations to the front." This policy closed the Modoc war in about one month. The campaign under the auspices of Davis dated from about the 1st of May, and is simply a series of suc cesses. The ciiAiuiE of iiAsr.r.orcx's TROOPS. At Drv Lake achieved the initial vic tory over the redskins in the lava bed, and was the turning j)oint in the contest that had lasted for months. Defeat caused the disaffec tion among the Modocs that led to a division of the numereial strength of the band. The second time Major Hasbrouek came across the Modocs he pursued them until his horses could neither walk nor run any fur ther, killed a warrior or two, anu killed and captured squaws and com pelled the Cottonwood branch of the tribe, numbering seventy souls to surrender through fear of exterm ination. This delegation came into Eairchild's ranch. Since the Eair child surrender Cols. Green and Perry, and Majs. Hasbrouek, Jack son, Cresson and Trimble, have had leading commands in scouts, and each has worke I long and well. The captives wen? fairly earned. The Modocs hal little authority in the matter. Jack told young Apple gate yesterday that he yielded be cause he could not help himself. Officers are looking carefully among the baggage of the Modocs in hopes of discovering mementoes of com rades slain during the struggle in the lava bed. Nothing worthy of note, save the conn to oi:x. caxisy's hat, lias been discovered. The opinion prevails that Gen Davis will hang or shoot Capt. .lack, lioston Charley and Sconchin, without awaiting any suggestions from the civil author ities; whereat great joy prevails in camp. I hail another interview with Bos ton Charley this morning on the Modoc question. He says that the' Modocs believe that the majority of the tribe will- be shot. They arc prepared to die like men. Answer ing a question as to whether Jack is concerned about his fate, he said: "No; Capt. Jack does not care for anything. He will not speak to any person save his sister Mary. Capt. Jack is a brave man. Women care for dentil, warriors never." Young Applegate, one of the guides with Perry's party, to-day re lated to me the exact manner in which Jack was taken. The Warm Springs and the troops suddenly dis covered that they had been following a blind trail, and of course felt deep ly chagrined. Tne command halted at once. The scouts dismounted and crawled about on hands and knees. Tracks, rocks, bushes, grasses, and every other object in the immediate neighborhood were closely inspected. The scene was a curious and interesting one. In the front, the ground was covered with MEN CHAWLINO AS ItEPTlLES. Now and then they paused to munch wild celery, and again they wiggled rapidly forward. A scout on the extreme right called Apple gate's attention to the print of a moc casin on a small mesa of pulverized lava. The discovery was signalled to Col. Perry, who, with his cavalry, deployed out over a vast tract of ground. A force posted as skirm ishers, was on the alert, and ready to order a forward movement. Quickly and quitly the troops and the scouts formed a semi-circle, the two ends of the line resting on the right and left of a rocky ridge near the canyon through which Wil low creek runs. When the arrange ments for the advance had been per fected, several of the scouts and Ap plegate began work on the trail. This little party saw, from the char acter of the prints, that the Indians had been running. They saw where they had leaped from rock to rock to avoid leaving any tracks. In the rear of this trail, distant twenty or thirtv vards. was another, where several Indians hail passed along, each stepping in one track. THE IKA1L GKEW WAEMEF. AND WAHMER. With difficulty the Warm Springs were prevented from ringing out a w ar hoop. Terry reached the .bank of the creek with his end of the line, and halted. It was evident that the Indians had taken refuge in the can yon within a short time. Here the command was divided, Perry taking one side of the creek, and Major Trimble the other. The scouts passed on ahead of Trimble, but in sight of Perry. Carbines were held ready for immediate use, and pre cautions against surprise were taken. On went the scouts, and the troops in the rear. One of them said he knew Modocs were around, and then he raised his head and snuffed the air, as if to gain news from the passing wind. Up to this time not a Modoc hail been seen. A moment later, an Indian (probably one of Jack's pickets) leaped from behind a huge boulder on the rim of the canyon and ran below and out of sight. The act was observed by both Perry and Trimble. Perry had Trimble halt, while he advanced his command near enough to bring the canyon within shooting range. Again a Modoc appeared in view. This time i he glanced hurriedly about him. and i saw the situation. He ran below, j and in three minutes nppearad a sec- ond time. He h;ul flung his gun aside, and was undecided how to act. : One of the Warm Springs cried out in Chinook jargon, "Come here; Ave won't hurt you." The Modoc came to the scout, and the latter, laying down his gun, grasped him cordially by the hand. The Modoc said Jack would come in if they would let him. Colonel Perry was informed how matters stood, and through Major Trimble sent three men to visit Jack. In less than five minutes JACK CAME IN rSAKJIED, and shook hands with the interview ing party. Mean while the Troop had been gradually closing in on all sides and were ready to lire at the word. Five squaws and seven chil dren appeared on the scene with the baggage of the Modocs. Jack was dirty and dejected. His shirt was ragged and his knee breeches, made of cavalry pantaloons, suggest ed many a slide down old Grimes' cellar door. His bundles were un packed by Lizzie (his favorite squaw) and his clothes taken out by permission of Col. Perry. He was allowed to don clean clothes from head to foot. Here we have the explanation of his arrival at Ap plogate's in that calico shirt. Lizzie did not change her clothes, but placed a new delaine dress over the tattered rags she was wearing. The other squaws and children came to the camp rags and all. Jack and Lizzie rode in together on a spotted Cayuse. Boyle's Camp, Tcle Lake Pexix st'la, June 3 Evening. The sol diers are engaged in building a strong tent, long and low, for the re ception of the Modoc captives, and a cloth court house for the purpose of holding a trial. Col. Green's command is still scouting for missing Modocs. Bo gus Charley says there are twelve Modocs at large. Boyle's Camp, Tcle Lake Pkxix svla, June -i Afternoon. The In fantry under Col-. Mason will arrive from Eairchild's ranch this afternoon and become a part of the permanent camp at this point. With the Infantry are the Modoc captives who surrendered to Gen. Davis on Cottonwood creek. Gen. Davis and all the soldiers and Modocs at Applegate's house start for our camp to-day. There are nine warriors missing, according to the latest account. Among them is Black Jim, the scoundrel who caught Gen. Can by after he had been shot and held him while Jack used his knife; also Miller's Charley, another desperado. The captive Modocs will reach here, in about half an hour. Hooka Jim and Steamboat Prank are hunting after two warriors and three squaws who are supposed to lie trav eling toward the Yainax Beservation. Eaiim hild's Hanch, Juno 4, 4 P. M. Sheepy Tom has just come in from the island in Little Klamath Lake, and brought with him Tee-Hee Jack, Bony, one squaw and three children. Lieut. Grier has ordered their arms to be taken from them, and h:v as signed them a tent in which to re main until they can be removed to Boyle's camp on the Peninsula. Bur gess and Bogus Charley are expected back from Klamath Lake with other Modoc prisoners to-night. In addi tion to the Indians above mentioned there are also here the following named squaws, who have figured somewhat extensively since the com mencement of the Modoe trouble: Artena Chokus, One-Eyed Dixie, Old Kitty, llosy and three others who have, not yet gained as much notorie ty as their older sisters. McKay. Boyle's Camp, Tcle Lake Penin sula, June I, 10 A. M. About half past three o'clock this afternoon clouds of dust arising from the wind ing road east of the Peninsula and in the direction of Clear Lake, an nounced the APPHOACII OF THE CAPTIVE MODOCS From the Applegate Mansion, and created an excitement that, as I write has not subsided. Soldiers and citi zens, every one who could spare a few moments, gathered near the bar ricade and watched the procession a., it entered camp and passed up the sandy stretch to the base of the bluff, where the canvas prison is located. Lieut. Chapin, of Company G, Fourth Artillery, was in the advance. Next came three large wagons loaded with Modocs and two with baggage. Bank and file of Battery G marched beside the wagons and forty mounted Warm Springs Indians held the flanks. The Warm Springs supplied the lack of music with song and war hoop and gave the scene a tone of terrible sadness. "where iscaft. Jack?" Where is Capt. Jack?" was the cry among the spectators. None had the gratification of seeing the warrior's face. He had anticipated the excite ment his advent would create, and was crouched in a corner of the wag on and completely enveloped him self in a blanket, whether through a senso of fear or sIirtti. T know not. 1 COURTESY OF BANCROFT LIBRARY, Near him were the leading braves of his tribe. Arriving at the prison the wagons were relieved of their con tents. Jack was chained to Scon chin, and Boston Charley to One Eved Mose, and Sam was manacled by himself. The men were placed ' one side of the prison and the women opposite, with the exception that Jack's Lizzie was allowed to sit be side him and lay her head upon his breast, and his girl of three years had the freedom of the tent. By permission of the officer of the guard, I ENTERED THE TENT AND TALKED WITH JACK Through the medium of an interpre ter. At first he was reticent in fact he did not deign to notice me. His sister. Mary, who was captured by one of the scouting parties that I accompanied, and who is inclined to be affable to young men, interceded in my behalf and persuaded Jack to talk. His first remark was in rela tion to the shackles. He said it made him feel mean to be hobbled like a horse; he was not afraid to die and he had no idea of running away. As he spoke his eyes fairly snapped and he looked a very lion in rage. All questions pertaining to his fight he declined to answer. When asked his age he gave ine to understand that he was thirty-six. Then he vol untarily entered upon a state of his grievances against the whites. He dated his antipathy to the race to the time of the Ben. Wright massa cre. He said the white man murder ed the Indians years ago, and that what he had done was only paying old debts, lie did not enter into de tails, but left the interpreter, Scar faced Charley, to patch up the story. CRITICAL STUDY OF THE VILLAIN. A critical study of Jack's face cor roborates the impression received at first sight. He is thoroughly Indian. His head is large, quite square, and for the present rests firmly on his shoulders. His eyes are black and bright, his face broad, and his cheek bones prominent. His nose is sym metrical and slightly aquiline, his lips thin and clean cut, and, combin ed with his chin, indicate that reso lution of purpose that has won for him sucli a remarkable notoriety. His complexion is dark. His face has an unpleasant look, and his coun tenance is not an agreeable one to look upon. Take him all in all, he is a striking man. Place him among a thousand Indians, and he would be thought the Chief by an observing stranger. Those who have seen him marvel not that he is the leader of the Modocs. Though in chains and on the brink of eternity, he is feared and respected by the Indians about him. STUDY OF SCONCHIX. His nearest companion in chains, Sconchin, reminds me of Victor Hu go's famous "Criminal," the man who climbed the angle in the walls by main strength. He is fifty years of a'-fe, is wrinkled, and has the vil lain depicted in every line of his face. He wears his hair short and stands 5 feet inches in his moccasins. KOSTON CHARLEY. Is about '-.'" years old. His face is expressionless. Did I not know to the contrary, I should take him for a half-witted fellow. He. and Mose, and Sam, are v ry ordinary looking Indians. It should be remarked that all of these Indians have hairless faces. Jack would attempt to esca)e if he had a chance, even at the risk of being shot down. Probably he never realized that death was inevitable until the irons were placed upon his feet. Scarfaced Charley says that Jack told him he could get clear while the white men were asleep. This was before the irons were brought into use. Gen. Davis and others are satisfied that Jack did try to escape last night, and through the aid of confederates on the outside, for upon examining his shackles this morning one of the rivets of his shackles was filed nearly, in two. His legs onlv are confined. At 4 o'clock this afternoon, Col. Mason arrived here from Eairchild's ranch with the infantry of the expedi tion and the seventy Modocs who came in there a few days since. The Indians w ere escorted hither by Capt. Camp and Company G, of the Twelth Infantry. Thus we have 128 captives. The guard is a large one, and has orders that are extemely vig ilant. Any Indian attempting to es cape will be shot dead. Boyle's Camp, June 4, Midnight. News has reached here that Hooka Jim and Steamboat Frank made a successful scout yesterday. Co operating with the Oregon Volun teers they trailed three warriors and five squaws to the timber mountain northeast of here, and assisted in making a capture. One of the cap tives is Black Jim. He is the Modoe who has bullied the settlers in this region for two or three years and committed cruel murders. The Oregonians regard him with special hatred. Only live' or six Modoc warriors are now missing. The Warm Springs held a war dance this evening which was witnessed by a large audience of officers and men The howls of the scouts annoyed the captives. Boyle's Camp, June 5, 9 a. m. Late yesterday afternoon a detail of men belonging to the artillery arriv ed in camp from the timber mountain near the Peninsula, with twenty jun iper logs, clean and straight, and evidently not intended for use in the erection of tents or prisons. Many marveled for what purpose the tim ber has been obtained. This morn ing the secret is out. Gen. Davis gives me private- information to the effect that he. intends to erect a scaf fold and EXECUTE AEOUT ONE DOZEN Of the worst murderers in the tribe nt sunset tomorrow. He feels that there is no need of delay. No doubt of the guilt of the chosen victims can exist. Justice demands speedy and certain action. Even at this time he is writing out a statement of offenses that will be read to the condemned murderers this evening. Many of the men in camp have already sur mised his intentions, and a kind of quiet excitement is brewing. The Modoc warriors have no friends. When it is remembered how they MANGLED AND TORTURED THE SOLDIERS Who were left upon the battle field, committed hellish outrages that can not be mentioned, and how they shot down settlers without a moment's warning, there are few, I ween, who can ask to have them spared. I have seen tears in the eyes of the sternest men in the army as they gazed upon the Modocs and thought of Can by, Thomas, Wright, Cranston, Howe and other friends sacrificed by these fiends. " I will close this business at once, and move to different scenes." says General Davis. "I have more w ork to do." Boyle's Camp, June 5, 10 a. m. The regular courier from Yreka has just reached camp with a large mail. Among other official papers is one from Washington directing General Davis to hold the Modocs until the authorities about the White House can investigate the charges against our late foes. This order disarranges the entire plans of the General and dampens the spirits of the camp. There will not be any executions at present. The troops will not be dis patched "to localities where other In dians are getting too bold and sauey for comfort. Tedious delays mnst occur. The feeling in camp is one of profound disgust. Boye's Camp, Tule Lake Peninsu la, June f, G ii. m. The document from Washington, in reference to the disposition of the Modocs. contains suggestions from (Jen. Sherman as follows: "The Modocs who murdered Gen. Can by and the Peace Commissioners might be tried by court-martial. those who killed the settlers by the Courts, and the remainder ought to be tried that the tribe may be extinct." Should those ideas be carried out, California will claim some of the Modocs and Oregon others. As mat ters now stand, however, none of the murderers will be turned over to the civil authorites. The interference of the Government with the military authorities is regarded here as an ac tual calamity. The few hundred soldiers in camp have performed work under the most trying circum stances. They have been taught to believe the Indians would be hanged, by the terrible deeds of the latter. Every soldier has known that to fall into the hands of the enemy meant torture, and when dead disfigurement. Every soldier knows that the Modocs were merciless. Ollicers and men have been impelled to the perform ance of the brave and reckless deeds by a sense of duty to the dead as well as the living, and now that the enemy has been defeated, they are eager to see justice meted out. They would not consent to A WHOLESALE HUTCIIERT Of men women and children. They actually sympathize with the little Modocs, who toddle about the canvas prison, but as a matter of right and as a necessity, the army without an exception, so far as I can learn, favor a speedy execution of the murderers. Most of the settlers would favor death by inches. I have given you the sentiment of the army. The Modocs in chains (with the exception of Sconchin) expect death. Sconchin thinks he will escape because Meacham lives. The scoundrel would not come into camp with the other Modocs until he was assured that Meacham lived. Bogus Charley, Shacknasty Jim, Hooka Jim and Steamboat Frank will escape the halter, though the two latter were engaged in murder ing settlers for several weeks. These four surrendered without re ceiving any promises, and of their own volition trailed the Modocs and paved the way for the late captures. Without these warriors in our inter est, the war must have lasted for months to come. The last fight, by the by, occurred during Colonel Green's scout in the Langell vallev and Willow creek country, which I have previously described exactly six months from the date of the first fight of the war. Among the items of news, it should be mentioned that General Davis (who is really Colonel of theTweity third Infantry) has received, an or der from Washington assigning him to duty as Brevet Major General which simply means that he can hereafter be officially addressed as Major (Jeneral. There is no money in it. Colonel Geeen's cavalry remains at Clear Lake. Colonel Perry has gone to Klamath on leave of absence. Boyle's Camp, June 5 Evening. One of the Oregon volunteers visit ed the camp a half an hour since anl reported to Gen. Davis that the company had five warriors, four squaws and five children at Linkville, being the result of their late scout. Among these are Black Jim and Dave. These two are notorious vil lains, and will be swung as soon as opportunity offers. When the Mo docs were made prisoners some of the Oregonians were in favor of ex ecuting them at once. Lieut. Lind say, who was in command at the time, succeeded in subduing the passions of his men and bringing the Modocs safe and sound to town. Gen. Davis sent for the captives and expects them here to-night. The motto at the head of the note sheets of the Amboy, 111., Journal reads: "That which is worth doing is worth advertising; print and prosper." lielicve in Yourself. It is said that when John C. Cal houn was in Yale College he wa ridiculed by his fellow students for his intense application to study. "Why, sir," said he, "I am forced to make the most of mv time that I may acquit myself cred'itablv, when in Congress." A laugh followed, when he exclaimed, "Do you doubt it? I assure you if I were not con vinced of my ability to reach tho national capital as a" Iiepresentativo within the next three years, I would leave college this very day." Let every young man thus have faith in himself and earnestly take hold of life, scorning all props and buttresses, all crutches and life preservers.

Instead of sighing for an ed ucation, capital or friends.and declar ing that "if he only had these ho would lie somebody,"' let him remem ber that, as Horace Greeley said, ho is looking in the wrong end of tho telescope, that if he were only some body he would speedily have all tho boons whose absence he is bew ailing. Instead of being one of the f liled potentialities of which the world is so full one of the subjunctive heroes, who always might, could, would, or should do great things, but whose nt doing greater things is what no body can understand let him be in the imperative mood, and do that of which his talents are indicative.

Some one has found or discovered the way to make butter from the parings of pork. from really the refuse of the butchers' shops. A company, with a capital of half a million dollars, has been form ed to carry this new discovery or in vention into practice, and the repre sentatives of Ayershire, Durham and Devonshire have cause to fear that their races have about outlived their usefulness. "Consider, cow, consid er." After this butter-making from pork scraps and clippings, what next? Are we to have some fellow come forward with an invention for making Goshen cheese from the ruta baga (brassira cnnipefti'is) , and roast ribs of beef from the hoops of a beer barrel ? The Indian who was arrested in Umatilla county, a short time ago for trying to commit rape, was bound over to appear at the next session of the Circuit Court in that county.
