AMONG THE B RULES.
An Fveltlnr Krperlnnce Dnrlaff the Re
cent Indian rprtslnff.
The next morning: I announced my
Intention of going to Fine Itidge
Ageucy, which is twenty-live miles
away. Mr. Thompsou, "two scouts,
and "a Swedish teaumer are to go in
for provisions and messages. Mr.
Thompson got in the wagoo. I ex
pressed tuy astonishment at this aud
the fact that he had no carbines, as we
. expected to go through the hostile
pickets and camp. He said, 'If I
can't talk them Injuns out of killm
me, I reckon 111 have to go." 1 trot
ted aloni with Red-Bear and Hairr
Arm, and a mile aud a half ahead went
the courier. Wells. Poor man! in two
hours he lay bleeding iu the road, with
a bullet through the hips, aud called
two days for water before he "struck
the long trail to kingdom come," as the
eow-boys phrase it.
We could see two black columns of
smoke, which we did not understand.
After we had gone eight or ten miles,
and were just crossing a ravine, we
saw a Sioux nek on a little hilt just
ahead, out of pistol-shot. He immedi
ately rode the "danger signal." Rod
Bear turned his horse in the "peace
sign," aud advanced. We drove over
the ravine, and halted. I dismounted.
Six youug Brule Sioux rose out of the
ground, and rode up to Red-Bear, aud
the hills were full of pickets to the
right anil left. We waited to hear the
result of Red-Bear's conversation,
when he presently came back and
spoke to Thompson in Che venue. I
looked at him; his eyes were snapping,
and his facial muscles twitched fright
fully. This was unusual, aud I knew
that things were not well.
Red-Bear savs we will have to aro
back," explained Thompson; and turn
ing to ltt'ti-isear. lie reipiesieti mat two
Sioux might come closer, and talk with
- us. Things looked ominous to me,
not understanding; Oiicyenne, which
was being talked. "This is a bad hole,
and I reckon our cake is dough right
here." said Thompsou.
Hairv-Arm's face was impassivo. but
his dark eyes wandered fitmi 1 ru e to
Brnle with devilish calculation. Two
vouug bucks came up, and oue asked
Thompson for tobacco, whereat he was
handed a package of Durham by
Thompson, widen win not returned.
It's lucky for me that iol.:ieto ain't
ft million dollars." sighed Thompson.
Another little buck siipjnd up 1
hiud me, whtreat Mr. Thouiii-son irave
me a warntnjr look. Turning. 1 ad
vanced on him nuivkly (I wanted to im
as near as posii; not being armed),
and hold in it out my hand. said. How.
col ah?M II did tiot tike to tako it. but
he did. and 1 was saved the trouble of
futther action.
'We'll never aret thw w-tivm turned
aronud." suirge-ted Mr. Tmo npson, as
the teamster whipned up; but we did.
And as we comm"tK".d our movement
on Casey's camp, Mr. Thompson said.
Jo slow now; don't .-on. or they'll
sure shoot."
"Gerame gun," said tlic little scout
Red-Bear, aud we all trot our arms
ti-om the wagon.
There was no suspense now. Things
had begun to happen. A little faster.
yet faster, we go up the little banks
of the coulee, and, ve gods! what! five
lullV armed, well-mounted cow-bovs
a regular rescue scene from BulTalo
Bill's show.
"Go back!" shunted Thompson.
Bang! bang! bang! and the bullets
whistle around aud kick up the dust.
Awav we go.
Four bucks start over the hills io our
right to flank us. Red-Bear talked
loudly in Olicvenne.
Thompson repeated. '"Red-Bear says
if any oue is hit, get off in the grass
and lie down; we must all hang to
gether."
We all veiled, "We will."
A well mounted man rode like mad
ahead of the laboriug team horses to
carry the news to the scout camp. The
cow-ooys, Deinir wen mount ea. con in
easily have gotten away, but they
stuck like true blues.
Here is where the great beaulv of
American character comes out. Noth
ing can be taken seriously by men used
to a anger. Aoore toe pounuing oi tue
horses and the rattle of the wagon and
through the dust came the cow-boy
song trom the lips of Mr. lhompson:
"Roll yonr tail.
And roll her Mjrli;
We'll all be aug-fls
By-and-by."
We deploved on the flanks of the
wagon so that the team horses might
not be shot, which would have stopped
the whole out lit. ami we tiki leu miles
at a record - urea ki n g ga 1 lop. We
struck the scout camp in a bluze of ex
citemeuU The Chevennes were ii
war-paint, and the ponies' tails were
tied ud and full of leathers.
After a lull in the proceedings. Mr.
Thompson confided to me that ''the
next time I so lo war in a wagon
will put the drinks on me'1; ami he
saddled Piegau, anil patted his neck
in a way which showed his gratilir
tion at the change in transport. We
pulled out air a in for the lower countrv
and as our scouts had seen the dust ot
Colonel Sanford's command, we
presently ioiued them.
Any remarks made to Mr. Thomp
son on the tobacco subject are taken
seriouslr, and he has intimated to me
a quiet yearning for a shot at "the par
ticular slit-mouthed Brule who got
away with that Durham."
How we awoke next morning with
the sleet freeziug in our faces, and how
we made camp iu the blizzard, and

manner, is of little interest. Frederic

Making a Home.
Tt seems a pity that the young wom

and has a sum of money to spend for
its garnishing cannot be persuaded
from laving it out all nt once. She
rubs herself of so much future eujoy-
' meut. The spick and span sets of
j furniture which are carelessly ordered
from an upholsterer, and carried home
f and stood around her parlors by his
men. will never afford her half the sat
' isfaction she can get in a room for
which to.day she buys a chair, and

Imagination Hilled Her.
A remarkable instance of the hold
superstition has upon the mind of even
the educated and religious, says the
Cincinnati Enquirer, was recently ex
hibited iu the case ef Mr. Rebecca
Byrnes of Helena. Ark., a lady noted
f.ir her iutelleetnal attainments and
pious life. One morning, arising in
what seemed her usual health and
spirits, she summoned her childen to
come to her.
One son was residing fn Topeka,
Kau., one iu New Orleans, two daugh
ters were married and living in Se
dalia. Mo., but. obedient to their
mother's call, they came at once,
though ignorant of the reason of their
summons. When all were about her
the lady iufonned them that she had
had a dream, in which her husband,
who had been dead for nearly fifteen
years, had warned her that she had
only ten days more of life. She sent
foe her children to bid them good-by.
which she proceeded to do with much
calmness, but with the air of oue who
had not the slightest doubt that she
was already dying.
Her friends attempted to reason with
her and to point out the folly of plac
iug such perfect coutldence in a dream,
but all to uo purpose, for the lady per
sisted in asserting that she would de
part from earth on such a day aud
exactly at a certain hour.
Her" pastor remonstrated with her,
and even brought the severest censure
to bear on her superstitious credulity,
and at last Mrs. Byrnes ceased to speak
of the matter, so that her family had
begun to think that she had conquered
her faucy. She continued in excellent
health and pursued her usual daily
life, but just before the hour she had
predicted would be that of her death
she sought her children and again hade
them good-bt , then, seating herself
quietly in an arm-c.iair.expired just as
the hour was struck. The physicians
declare that her death was due solely
to her imagination.
Not ft Serious K I re.
It was 11 o'clock at night, and I was
going to my room in a Florida notel,
wheu a woman came out of her room,
fully dressed, aud aked:
"Do you tielong to the hotel?"
"No, ma'am."
'Are there many people here to
night?" lt is crowded."
"And it won't do to start a panic.
Let me say quietly to vou that the
hotel is on lire. I have known it for
ten minutes, but did uut want to create
an excitement."
'Are you sure, ma'am?" I asked.
"Entirely sure. sir. I sine lied the
smoke while iu bed. You go quietly
down and tell the clerk, and 1 will
knock ou all the doors ou this floor."
She was wonderfully cool aud col
lected, aud I never thought of doubt
ing her assertion. Going down by the
stairway, I beckoned the clerk aside
and told him of the tire. He went lo
the elevator with me and ascending lo
the third floor, we found about twenty
half-dressed people in the halls. The
woman who had given me orders came
up and said:
"Come this way. I don't think the
tire has much of a start yet."
We followed her to her room aud
began to suitf and snuff. There was
certainly a strong odor of something
burning, but the clerk had taken only
one suiff, when he went out aud rap
ped on the next door."
"Hello!" called a voice.
"Are vou smoking?"
"Yes."
Smoking Florida tobacco?"
"Yes, what of it?"
"Nothing. Ma'am, 'you can go back
to bed. Much obliged to jou for your
sagacity anil wit, but both were a little

She Wouldn't Wash Iogs.
A curious case of especial interest to
elderly spinsters and lovers of house
pets is shortly to come before the
Berliu courts. A young woman was
engaged as companion to an elderly
lady at stated wages, but ran away
from her place two days after entering
service.
Her mistress procured her arrest
under the law that a servant must give
due notice before leaving her situation;
but the police, afler hearing the girl's
statement, told the lady that site could
not compel the girl to return, and
could only claim damages iu the civil
court.
For the girl stated, and her state
ments have been proved true, that on
entering the lady's flat four immense
dogs jumped at her, although they did
not do her any harm. In the next
room another big dog, with a litter of
pups, met her gaze, while the third
room was tenauted by at least three
dozen different varieties of birds.

CHABMINC RATTLESNAKES.
A FlnHl Etr 41lvn nn IlltiOrallnit or

kuans for Urn tVorltl's ITwlr.
In the yard in the rear of a house In
Jacksonville, Fla., aeolored man could
be seen yesterday, surrounded by ven
omous snakes, 'I'he rattlesnake.cuaelt
whip, gopher and many other of the
most poisonous species were well rep
resented. The writer, a correspondent of the
Gtobe-Detnocrat, was amazed. Ho well
kuew that ha had not "tackled" any
cheap quality of snake-pruducing
elixir, and, like Josh Hillings, came to
the conclusion that that back yard be
longed to the suakes.
The Scribe watched the colored man
place the serpents In a huge box, and
then ventured lu. He at once discov
ered that he was lu the prosouue of
Silas Foman, the celebrated snake
charmer, who is well kuown Iu Chi
cago and other cities by mauagers of
museums and suaka dealers, lie is a
copper-colored man. about live feet
eight inches in height, dresses neatly,
wearing cuffs, Itelt and collar made
from the skin of the rattlesnake. In
reply to questions, he told the follow
itig story:
I am a native of Hayti. aud have
been in this country seventeen years.
A ijw vein's ago I determined lo eu-
fage exclusively In the snake business.
a my childhood my parents would
gratify me by permitting me to have
a rattlesnake' as n companion, and as
I grew older I became fonder of those
reptiles, and always delighted in mak
ing them a' study. I would sometimes
get bit by them, but my father had a
remedy that would soon heal the
wound. In 18S3. while in Lee county,
near the Everglades, I captured a
snake, which was shipped to New
York. I was paid $70 for it. and have
been following the business ever since.
On all rattlesuakes four feet long and
over 1 realise from t"25 to $o0 each.
The smaller snakes 1 generally use
myself for the manufacture of my
snake oil, which will cure any rheum
atism, or neuralgia in existence. I
learned this from the Seminole Ind
ians. When 1 Hist went among them
1 was crippled with rheumatism, and
was a great sufferer. I was complete
ly restored in a few days by the appli
cation of rattlesnake oil.
Before Pablo Bench was thoroughly
settled I caught hundreds of snakes in
that vicinity, but the largest anil best
quality of rattlesnakes to be found in
this couutry are nt Fort George Island
at the mouth of the St. John's river.
The suakes at this place are very gen
tle and can be easily tamed. Last
month I succeeded iu capturing forty
four suakes I here aud was only bit
eight limes. 1 have secured from the
Semi note Indians a tin id that I use
when bitten, and with it the bite of a
rattlesnake, or. in fact, any other
snake, is no more serious thnn'lhe bite
of a mosquito."
The writer was anxious to kuow how
he captured the ftTiakes. wh n the
;harmer replied: lf you will come
with me over the river, near the old
base ball park. I think we will catch
oue. You see I have Jip.' a dog that
I hare trained, that aids me in captur
ing the suakes. To tell the truth, he
tiuds them for me."
The suake charmer, the scribe and
the dog at once started for the spot
mentioued to capture a suake. It was
fultv an hour before the dog obtained
a clew, and began barking; finally he
dropped and pointed his tail straight
iuto the air.
The suake charmer ran to the spot,
aud. by the use of a mirror attached to
a stick six feet long, he gradually drew
the suake until within arm's reach,
when he reached out and secured the
reptile, uot, however, without the fangs
penetrating his right hand. He applied
his antidote, aud smilingly requested
the reporter tt ' take a bite." too,
which was emphatically refused.
Returning home, the snake-charmer
took out a piece of red silk, shook it in
front of Hie reptile, who. with its
dead!; fangs, pesieifated it. Silas
then "jerked the silk violently away,
aud the fang- wen removed.
A Valnnble Hat.
It was on the I. & ii. N. train going
north from Austin, says tho St. Joseph
(Mo.) Aom-.. We were getting cloe
to the crossing of the A. & N. V. nar

when we suddenly slowed up. Look

iug out of the cedar brakes on both

signal man at the crossing in their
power, aud had made him sign-il a
stop. And now they had the train at
their mercy.
While the man in front kept the en

express car and rilled the safe. Then
thev came through the couches.
We were ail getting ready to give

of them said:

Ami. with that he stuck his own
greasy sloucher on the drummer's
head "and put the brand-uew one on
himself.
The people in the car all laughed at
tho man's good humor, aud after a
while tho gang look lo the woods aud
the train went ou.
"Well, we got off easy said oue
man.
"Yes, none of us lost a cent," said
another.
"Kxcuse me, gentlemen." said the
drummer with the greasy hat, ' but
just before the gang came I stuffed
100 in bills into the lining of that new
hat of mine."
Baby Partly Swallowed by a Snalce.
George Wharton of Brown county
tells a blood-curdling snake story.
Mrs. Williani Huxellj', living iu a log
cabin, was making soap in the back
yard, having kissed her sweet little 6-month-old
baby to sleep in the cradle.
Presently the baby screamed and she
rushed iu and was horror-stricken to
find a hideous black-snake of enormous
size trying lo swallow the child.
It bad ingulfed the hand, swallowed
it up to the armpit, and was writhing
in its contortions and efforts to ma Ice
further progress. Grasping the hid
eous reptile in the middle it seemed to
relax its hold and disgorge the child's
nrm then turned upon its mother.
She dashed it lo the floor and stamped

what are his symptoms, what his con
scious feelings and emotions?
A remarkable Instance mar be
found lu the case of Captain Nolan, of
Halaklava. Nolan assumed to guide
the Light Brigade iu charge, aud
with frantic exclamation and gestures
with his uplifted sword he rode to the
right to draw the 81x Hundred out of j
the Vallej of Death, which lay directly
in their course, toward the line of re
doubts which they had been ordered
to attack, and where victory and not
disaster doubtless awaited them. When
he was a few paces to the right of the
leading ranks a piece of shell struck
nun ou tue cuest, tearing iuto lue
heart.
"The sword dronpod from his hand,"
says Kiuglake, "but'thearm with which
he was waving it the moment tie fore
remained high uplifted In the air, aud
the grip of the practiced horseman re
maining as yet tin re taxed still held
him tirm in his saddle. Missing the
perfect hand of his master, and finding
the accustomed governance now suc
ceeded by the dangling rnlus, the
horse all at ouce wheeled about and
began to gallop back upon the front of
the advancing brigade. Then, from
what had been Nolan and his form
was still erect in the saddle, his sword
arm still high In the air there burst
forth a cry so strange and appalling
that the hearers who rode nearest him
call it unearthly. And in truth I
imagine." continued the historian,
"the sound resulted from no human
will, but rather from those spasmodic
forces which may act upon the bodily
frame when life as a power has ceased.
The tirm sealed rider, with arm up
lifted and stiff, could hardly be ranked
with the living. The shriek men
heard rending the air was scarce other
than the shriek of a corpse. The dead
horseman rode ou till he passed
through the interval of the Twelfth
Light Pragous. Then at last he drop
ped out of the saddle."
The line bet weeu Nolan living and
Nolan dead was very narrow, yet the
uplifted arm and the battle shout end
ing in an unearthly yell proved that
the soul of the warrior dominated every
element of activity so loug as any act
ivity remained. Ilad Nolan been trot
ting along in the ranks of the Six Hun

of keeping in line and getting ahead,

An experience of the same nature.
but at the other extreme, was that of
(ieneral Joseph Hooker at Antietam.
On the moruiug of the 17th of Septem
ber, being iu the presence of the
enemy with his corps, he began a
movement to seize high ground on his
front aud was compelled to pnss
lengthwise of the Confederate line
within range of hostile batteries. Soon
a stroug body of the euemy showed it
self iu his pathway, aud in the ex
citement of making new dispositions
and routiug and pursuing the Con
federates, the General, to use his own
language, "was lifted to the skies."
'The whole moruiug hail been one of i
unusual animation with me." he wrote.

for the mometit at least. Intensely
preoccupied as he was. aud as he had
good reuion to be at that stage ot the
battle, he did not rotice the blow or
the seusaliuu that accompanied and
followed It.
Complete subordination of the senses
to the momentary actiou of the will
seems to be quite common in wounded
men, and that in the worst cases.
Nolan's case aud that of the leader ol

face was partially upturned as though

Whether this was aiier his rider had

Abusing the Voice.
As the voice is the most delicate of
instruments and onp which resents at
once any abuse of its powers, be sure
that you are not misusing it, Emma C.
Thursby says in The Ladies' Home
Journal. It is the easiest thing iu the
world to detect such misuse when it
exists. Aftersinging for twenty minutes
stop aud see if there are any feelings
of weariness or evidences of huskiucss
about the throat. If there are. you are
forcing your voice, aud you will show
your wisdom by not singing again un
til you have learned how to use it
properly. Some people learn naturally
how to use the voice, while with others
it is a matter of necessity that they
shall be taught. And as there is no
surer way to lose a voice thsm to
abuse it, if you find that it is not as
easy for you to sing as to laugh, aud
if you desire to do anything in the
future with 3-our voice, cease singing
uuti! you cau secure a good teacher.
It will not hurt your voice to remain
unused, though, of course, earlj- train
iug and couslaut practice are most de
sirable. If, however, you find that you are
using your voice properly and that
your efforts are pleasing to your
friends, siug as often ami as much iu
vonr home and in your friend's par
lors as you please, " remembering al
ways that it is better to siug half-a-dozen
times a day for ten minutes at a
time, than once for an hour. Never
sing for a longer period thau ten miu
utes. without resting. It is dangerous
in the extreme to tire the voice, aud
this evil will take prompt and sure re
venge by roughening its quality aud
spoiling its natural sweetness.

Keeper Prttrh k Marrln of the Cen

other large-stomached birds says the
N. Y. Evening Hun.
It fs well kuown that these birds
swullow a regular allowance of stones
every day. but It Is supposed that ihelr

Marrln, however, says that they are

assertion before all the academies of

sentiments are summed up as fullowst
"Thayory alone is not wurrtith a dam.

whatever it feels inclined to without
regard to Its composition.
The emu. another member of the
ostrich family, is also addicted to the
stone-eating habit. Itnt one uf them
in the menagerie has found out a kind
of stone which he is apparently un
able to digest. This was a loadstone,
which he swallowed more than a year
ago. Since then the bird has pointed
due northerly, from which fact it is in
ferred that he retains the loadstone
aud is uuable to resist its polar at
traction. The poor bird is painfully
conscious of his misfortune, aud when
anybody is looking at him tries to turn
to some other point of the compass,
but is obliged to resume before long
his northerly direction.

Although the legislature of Pennsyl

its belief in the theory that the owl and
the hawk are friends and not enemies

old farmer in the state who still holds
to the belief of the fathers that hawks
and owls are pestiferous anil destruct
ive enemies of the agriculturist, says
a Harrisburg letter lo the N. Y. Sun,
and he has adopted a novel and by no
means humane way of making them
iess. or at least "of destroying their
power for charm, bounty or no bounty.
This farmer is Benjamin Groner of
the Pine creek regiou. His study of
the habits of both hawks and owls led
him years ago to the di-covery that
they always perch on the braneh of
some tree or a high f ; i!t or other
good point of observai io:i near a
poultir yard before snooping down
upon the contents of the y:ird. This
set Farmer Groner to thinking, and h
thought out a contrivance which he !

premises.
He took a scythe blade mndu of ih
finest stuff he coulii buy. He ground
and whetted the edge of this Wrote
until it was keen as keen could be.
Then he fastened the butt end of the
blade with bolts fast to a long pole,
uenr the ton. The blade was fastened
to the pole edge up and at an angle of
forty-hve ticgrees. me poie ne men
set iu the grouud a few rods from his
poultry yam, on me eoge oi a woou
lot. For several days au immense hen
hawk had been sailing around near the
premises, aud from a perch on io
dead limb of a tree near the spot where
the farmer set his pole in the ground
had swooped down on a number of
Groner's fattest chickens. The farmer
chopped tho dead limb of the tree away
alter seltiug ins poie ami scytne uiauo
and waited the result of the experiment
he was Irving.
In the afternoon of the same day the
hawk came sailing along over the tops
of the trees. Farmer Groner saw the
hawk from his barn and cautiously
watched it. 1 he big bird sailed down
to the tree where itlind always made
its perch, hut not linking the dead liinb
(i ruled nroiimi a few times and then
dropped down on the outstretched
scyitfd hlude, which apeared as a coU
venient place of observation. The in
stant the hawk lit it began to slid down
the steep and smooth slant of the blade,
and sliced its claws oil as quickly
and ueatly as a meat cutter slices
smoked beef. The bird fluttered to
the ground, but as its winjs were still
at ils com maud it flew away and never
came back to the Grouer farm again.
The farmer went out and found the
bleeding talons of the crippled bird,
aud knew that his experiment was a
Buecess. The next morning he found
a couple of set of owl toes on the
ground under the scythe blade.
Ever siuce then one of these traps
has been ou duty near his poultry
yard, and the frequent finding of owl
and hawk claws beneath it and a steady
increase in his poultry flocks are n
coutrovcrtiblo proof that it is doing
well the work it was planned to do. Aa
owl or hawk that lights oa that terri
ble perch is forever afler unlitted for
stealing chickens, for both birds cap
ture their prey with their talous.

THE GEORGIA "CRACKER."

The choicest of these rickety abodes
was described by a girl whose only
home it had been for fourteen years;
"I reckin hit Ml set up thar a right
smart while yit. but hit Vpow'ful cold
en leaky." Kven where better quart
ers are obtainable the cracker prefers
some great shackling structure im
possible to heat or to bumanixe, be
cause, forsooth, as one occupant al
leged, "here we has a dinin'-ball."
Wout to flock to the suburbs of a city,
just beyond tax limit, they herd, dirty
and disorderly, in filth and semi-idleness
in leaky hovels without other
furniture than the barest necessaries.
If there is ground enough to grow a
few vegetables, the responsibility of
cnltiratiug it becomes a pretext that
often deprives a household of the earn
ings of its head. Men habitually
abandon work on pretense of "makin

W:iges in 'the Georgia mills seem low

yet wheu the eost of living and the
Mil rounding ami the efficiency of the
operatives re taken into account, pay
is reiiitively as high as where a more
t-oioiilex civilization has created artifi
cial wants. The inter-dependence in
the South between corporation and
employees is rare in New England
factory villages. The names, resid
ence, circumstances, needs, failings,
or virtues are here well known to the
officials; in time of trouble or suspen
sion of work money is freely advanced,
and by au unwritten code of human
feeling long illness or other disability
often brings the regular weekly pny.
Not only are relations more friendly
and intimate than at the North, but
there is conspicuous freedom from the
spirit of drive and despotism. Even
New Eugland superintendents and
overseers in these Southern mills soon
