BtlHELBERT8.nW ^ Wfeife visfting some friends at Katisit City, 1 chanced to meet Ezra Boon, an old Mexican war veteran, who told me the following interesting stoiry: $ . On the fifteenth of May, 1848 a party of recruits, under oommand of Captain Brewster, afterwards promoted to j in<jians came a coal-black horse, ridden determined to On they eame, shields and flannlinft aim-light. It irfp enough to terrify a veteran to lookjiiMliem, mnch less the boys who werfTVaiting to receive them. Still ou tfcey came, greatly impressed with the fearfw tsqket they were mak­ ing, bat the boys stood their gronnd bravely and waited. When within about forty rods the savages 'were met by a volley of sings, and again at abont twenty rods by another. Still they came, and as they neared us it looked and sounded as though pandemonium had broken loose. When they were within seven or eight rods of us, "we were ready tor another volley* The captain shouted: "Shoot their horses P*. The cry was taken up by the messes, tfnd every soldier aimed at a horse. The result of this was, two score or more horses fell under the accurate aim of ?the trained marksmen, and those Indians on side atid rear seeing this, were panic stricken, Mad turned and fled precipitately, leaving their dead and dying behind them. The boys who, oniy three months before had left the fields of their fathers' farms, found themselves victors on the field of battle, The result was the most complete victory over the Indiana that had been obtained for many years. The Indians left over one hundred warriors dead and dying. These were buried in the sands of the Arkansas bottom. One Indian was picked up by the side of his dead horse. Re had hidden himself behind his horse in true Indian fashion, and the ball that passed through his horse's neck blew a portion of his skull off breaking one lobe of his brain, and leaving the other unbroken. When found, he sat up, took his hand and felt his brains, and then said in broken English: "Me heap big brave!" and tbeti fell over dead. On their retreat an Indian who rode a splendid blood-bay horse, which was killed, returned to his horse to take his saddle off, wjien he was killed. Suddenly from out the retreating Colonel, left Fort Leavenworth for Santa Fe. They were intended to fill up the ranks of the Santa Fe Batallion, in service in the New Mexico depart­ ment, under the command of General Price. t The company numbered one hundred soldiers, mostly boys, from eighteen to twenty years of age. They w;ere, how­ ever, typical backwoods boys, reared under circumstances which made them good soldiers. Raised on horse-back, with rifles in their hands, they were well prepared for all the vicissitudes of army life. They were all well mounted, and "were armed with breech-loading Germau carbiues, which had ouly reached the fort a short time before they marched. It was the first breech- loading gun ever used in the United States, and was designed expressly for cavalry use, being short in the barrei, with an infantry sabre-bavonet. They eould be loaded and fired six times in a minute.- The ball was a one ounce slag. The soldiers soon became adepts (n the use of the new gun. & It wasa lively party as they journeyed West over the beautiful broad prairies of Kansas. At that time there were neither houses nor farms in Kansas, but instead one continous and unbroken pan ar am a of waving grass and beautiful wild flowers. At CoiittcilGrove there was a small set­ tlement with a government blacksmith qhop and a few houses for families. Discipline had become slack, and the party looked and acted as though on a pleasure trip within the bounds of civ­ ilization. Continuing their march tcross the Little Arkansas, they struck the Great Bend of the Ar­ kansas. and followed it up across Paw­ nee Fork and Walnut Creek, reaching a camping ground on the bank of the Arkansas River, just above the mouth i of Coon Creek. k The next morning was misty and foggy. It had been noted that no buf­ falo had been seen thei-*day before, acd John Brown, an old frontierman, who had been several times across the plains, spoke of it and pronounced it a sore sign of Indians; but no notice was taken of his prediction, and the little band slept as soundly during that night as if they had beeu at home. Just at day-break I returned to camp from giuuu duty, and found Brown up pie paring breakfast for his mess. Suddenly the most remarkable sounds in imitation of wolves came from differ­ ent parts. I called Brown's attention to the fact, and he replied that the sounds came not from wolves, but In­ dian*. Just then the fog began to rise from the earth and a large herd of buffaloes were seen stampeding up the bottom, directly towards tlie camp. Those of ns who wore up seized our carbines, de­ termined to have -buffalo steak for breakfast, when Brown called to us, sayiug that the Indians were just be­ hind the bisons. Our incredulity at the xemark of the old plainsman was the same as that excited by the howling of the wolves. The buffalo, taking fright at our tents, started np the bottom, and with their disappearance the Indians came in sight. There were four separate bauds of them, all dressed and equipped in true war stvle. By this time our Captain became •ware of the situation, and gave an or­ der to form into line, but instead of obeying the order a line was formed by messes of six, every twenty or thirty yards, the left restiug on the river, and, extending in a semi-circle, the right *lso rested on the river. In this posi­ tion the band received a charge of four companies of Indians. Here we became aware of the superiority of our carbines. The Indians had heretofore been ac­ customed' to the old muzale-loading muskets, and after drawing the first tire eould reach the enemy and use their lances and arrows before the muskets eould be re-loaded. With carbiues it was different, for after two volleys had been tired we were ready with another one before the Indians could charge. Three times they tried it iu squads, and each time they were repulsed with heavy loss, for the aim of the backwoods boys was accurate, and the slugs from their carbines penetrated the Indian's by a traily dressed Indian maiden, with the speed of the wind. Reaching a dead Indian, who was gaQdily dressed, she stopped her horse, waved a white handkerchief to and fro a time or two and the next instant she looped her lariat around the body of the Indian, re-mounted and sped away. It was afterwards learned that the dead Indian was a Comanche Chief, and the maiden was his daughter. It was an exhibition of bravery which de­ served the highest recompense. These Indians • followed us to the Ocate River. At Sand Creek, on the Cimarron, they attempted to surprise us again, but the lesson we learned them on the Arkansas had not beeu forgotten, and to their sorrow they knew we were prepared to receive them. Wilkes Booth's Daughter. At the Globe Theater, with the Bos­ ton Comic Opera Company, is an aotress whose name and family connection im­ part a great degree of interest in her to the general public, writes a Columbus correspondent. Her maiden name was Ritta Booth, but she is now the wife of Mr. Henderson, the director of the company. Mrs. Booth-Henderson says she is the daughter of J. Wilkes Booth, the assassin of Lincoln. She remem­ bers her father distinctly, although but eight years old at the time of his death. She was asked concerning the truth or falsity of the recently published state­ ment of some woman living in the South, to the effect that her lather was no,t dead, but that another man had been shot on that eventful morning more than twenty-five years ago. She emphatically affirmed that her father is dead, that he was shot at that time, and that she saw his body a number of times before the burial. Mrs. Henderson says her mother died abont three years since, leaving her as the only child, yet she says she has two half-brothers living. She was born in Richmond, Va., and has beeu on the stage more 6r less for the past fifteen years.. She was the leading lady with George C. Miln, the preacher- actor, a few years since, and later with Grace Hawthorne. She made her first appearance on the stage at the Boston Globe Theater in a minor part. She first appeared in this city at the old Comstock, , now Metropolitan House, about seven years ago with Palmer in "The Danites." She appeared latei with the Bennett and Moulton Opera. Company at the Grand four years ago. Mrs. Booth-Henderson has many of the characteristic features so marked in the Booth family, and her facial resem­ blance, as well as her love for the stage, would seem to be strong evidence of the statement she makes. She says she has a diary containing much im­ portant memoranda of her father's life, and papers of hie, and some time she will make them public.--Chicago Herald. On Our Southern Border. There are two classes of Mexican peasants, the Labradoes and the Ranch- eros--the former a mild, simple peo­ ple content to take Nature pretty much as they find her. They bridge no ar- royas, build no dams, arches or culverts. In engineering ability they are as fai behind the Aztecs, who once inhabited this valley, as are the present Egyptians behind their ancestors under Menes. A plot of a few acres supports the en­ tire family of a dozen, exclusive of dogs --as many more. First, a crop of mel­ ons and cebada (melons and barley;] later a crop of frejoles and calabazaa (Mexican beans and pumpkins). A lit­ tle pepper and onions and their commis­ sary is complete. The Iiancheros have more or less cattle, ponies, sheep ot goats, are less local in their taste.-*, and are more hardy, so that it is among them that is sometimes found the out­ law element that has made the "Greaser" the synonym for bandit and has stamped the race as thieving and treacherous. The men are fine horse­ men, and many are experts in the use of the revolver. A Pueblo scene is very characteristic. Adobe buildings thatched roofs, arbors beneath which the stone jars left nnglazed for cooling shields, which itrere made from the skin ! water, and the stone hand-mill for of the buffalo bull's neck. After the third repulse the bands all withdrew, and, consentrating on the slope that rose from the bottom, over a half mile away, held a general eonncil of war. We could hear them talking and shouting, but did not jBttderstand the speeches that were being made. They were evidently greatly •netted over their losses, and furious to think that so small a squad of # soldiers y . . eould . repulse hundred Oomanches and the corn for corn cakes, .called "tortil­ las." The conservatism of this people •would compare e-ith that of India. The agricultural methods are those de­ scribed in the Bible. Hay is cut with a hoe, sometimes a hand knife or sickle; a bough whose forks embrace the proper angle is their plow, and their oxen are yoked by lashing a pole to the base of their horns. Education, how­ ever has made considerable progress among them, and meet?«£, -Ike oluMxen read Spanish. yi*' ^ miltoas Spent tn M4 Bdltbc Mew*. Sow manv people think, as they read the news of the world onn$r their break­ fast tables, of the immense amount of expense incurred and the great labor expehded in presenting that news in an attractive form ? There are at least 35, - 000 people engaged in collecting and editing news upon dsilv and weekly newspapers in the Unite# States. Edit­ ing a newspaper is the process of weigh­ ing new-. No newspaper ever prints all the neVs, although many advertise to do so. Events which are printed are those which the editor believes to be of the greatest interest to the greatest number accustomed to read his journal; and the lengths and positions allotted to the items as they' appear in the jour­ nal illustrate the editor's notion of the [ public's estimate of their varying values as news. While the editor edits the newsp»pei the public edits the editor; hence it follows that the public, BO greatly given to grimaces over the pe­ rusal of ita follies, possesses full power to season its news to its own taste. It would be an interesting thing to find out the total annual cost of the en­ tire news product of the United Stute*. But the figures can ouly be approxi­ mately given. Publishers in this coun­ try expend annually for news about the following: For press dispatdies, $1,- 820,000; for special dispatches, $2,250,-- 000; and for local news, $12,000,000. The estimate for special dispatches, in­ cludes telegraph tolls andpay of--the' correspondents who furnisn the news. This service is conducted by the pub­ lishers in the large centres of popula­ tion, who find the reports furnished by the press association either not full enough or not to the political taste of their readers. Here are a few of the monthly bills of some of tho leading journals: St Loui* Globe-Demovrat $11,660, New York IPorM $9,514, Chi­ cago Herald $6,500, Say Francisco Ex­ aminer $8,000, Boston Herald $5,500. These are indeed extremes, for many excellent journals find it possible to limit their bills for special dispatches to from $400 to $1,000 a month. The cost of local news far exceeds that of both the other departments; not because the local services of individual papers costs more in every instance, but because so many journals maintain lo­ cal bureaus, yet pay nothing for press, or other dispatches. The bills for lo­ cal news of the leading New York dai­ lies are the largest of any in the coun­ try, and for two reasons--a larger terri­ tory to cover, and a greater demand from outside for the local news of New York. Their weekly bills range from $1,500 to $3,400. When the news is de­ livered upon the news editor's desk it has then to be edited; and editors' serv­ ices command in Boston from $30 to $60 per week, in New York from $40 to $100, in Philadelphia from $30 to $70, in Cincinnati from $25 to $50, in Chi­ cago from $40 to $80, in St. Louis from $20 to $45, and in San Francisco from $40 to $65. White paper bills cut a big figure in the outlay of the newspaper publisher. Here are a few of the annual items of expense: New York World, $667,500; Boston Globe, $326,000; Chicago iS'eios, $324,000; Philadelphia Press, $245,000; Boston Herald, $315,000; Cincinnati Enquirer, $252,000. It is to be re­ membered that circulation is not the only factor which determines the amount of the publishers' white-paper bills. Both the size of -the sheet issued and the quality of the paper used are material considerations. Besides this composition bills amount to a great deal annually. Here are a few of the weekly bills upon some of the leading dailies: New York World, $6,000; Cincinnati Enquirer, $3,200, New York Herald, $3,780; Boston Globe, $4,100. The New York Sun pays $140 per week to proofreaders; the New York Times and New York Trib­ une, $245 each, and the New York Herald and New York World, $315 each. A new "dress" of type for the New York Timee or New York Tribune costs $12,000; for the New York Herald, $15,000, including mailing type; and ,for the New York World, $13,890, in­ cluding mailing type. As a rule, new type is purchased annually. Newspapers have two Bourees of in­ come, advertisements and -wales of copies. The former is greater than the latter, but not in a proportion so over- whelming as is generally supposed. Most dailies in our largest cities realize an income in about the proportion of two-thirds from advertising to one-third from subscriptions and sales. The value of great newspaper plants is dif­ ficult to arrive at. A rule is to value the good will, a quautitv which dr«s not include building, outfit or machin­ ery, at the sum of the profits during the preceding five years. Joseph Pulit­ zer estimates that the product of Ameri­ can journalism foots up $100,000,000 yearly. Never before was newspaper competi­ tion so fierce as now. Vast invest­ ments are at stake and the best brains are commanded at salaries which, already high, are steadily growing higher. Yet here is the opinion of George W. Childs: In my twenty-five years' experience I have never seen a daily newspaper in­ jured by competition. If a paper de­ generates, as many have done within my recolletion, the cau-e is always to be found inside, not outside, its own office. I have seen one publisher take another publisher's business, never though, because of tITe superior ability of the former, but always becau.se of the marked incompetence of the latter. Daily papers sometimes die of dry-rot, sometimes reach the Sheriff's hands through political blunders, internal quarrels, or jealous ambitions; but a paper that is successful, wide-awake, and honest can never be injured "by competition, however fierce. from, bribMen the thumb and w r across to tle third finger, ano i fork, break, or rsnuneMion.

This remark was made by one of the surgeons-. of the New York Hospital to a News reporter, who naturally sup­ posed that at surgical ward would be about the last place in which to crack a joke or make a pun. # "Recently," the doctor went on, "we had a man who had met with an acci- chsnt-whioh -secessitated the excision of the elbow joint of the left aarm; in other words, a portion of it needed cutting away. When the patient grew stronger it became necessary, in order to get the natural movement of the elbow, to< ire- sort to 'passive motion,' as it is called-- that is, the arm was- worked up and down a quarter of an hour every day. It was an exceedingly-painful but nec­ essary thing to do, and the patient stood it bravely. I used to say to him: 'Now, Dan, it's time you were pumped.' "Dan submitted as usual, but with less than his ordinary cheerfulness. After some eight or ten minutes Dan remarked somewhat feebly: " 'Doctor, |don't you think you have pumped long enough for to-day ?' " 'Why, Dan?' " 'Because the water is a coming out of my eyes like sixty, an' I'm afraid I'll soon be running dry if you don't quit!'

"A child, 9 years old, was brought in, whose face was horribly disfigured by burns received in falling over a stove while trying to hang up a towel.

( • "One day when, her mother visited her and seeing how patiently the little sufferer bore her pain, the mother be­ gan to cry. " 'Don't cry, ma,' responded the little one.

Frequenters of the Riverside drive often see a stylish turnout 1>eariug a family party consisting of father, mother, and three pretty daughters, and attended by two graceful eques­ triennes, also daughters of the family. The mother is a stately, handsome woman, one of the few dames in fact of middle age seen in elegant carriages to whom the observer's eye turns a second time. This lady's history is of epecial interest to lovers of the romantic and unusual in courtship. Being the only daughter of a wealthy house, with indications of a strong mind, she was educated by tlie private tutor employed for her brothers. She ran shoulder to qjtoulder with them in their pursuit of knowledge till all were ready to enter college. It was found, however, that the young lady had been engaged in a special study, independent of her brothers, for one evening in taking leave of the tutor she abruptly, though timidty, said: "Mr. Blank, I am sorry that you are so soon to leave us--at least--I mean-- that I cannot have you go. O, Mr. Blank, do you not see that I love you? Will you--will you marry me, Mr. Blank?" To say that the tutor was astonished, embarrassed, dumfounded. does not half express it. "Really, Miss Bella," he stammered, "I have never imagined this. Please give me time to think," and so escaped for the moment. Of course, everything being reversed from the usual order of things, Miss ! Bella it was who spoke to papa, j "Father," Bhe said, "vou know I am of i age. I love Mr. Blank, and have asked Ihim to marry me." "What on earth! Have you gone mad ? Go call your mother." Mamma came, and, it is said, an But Miss A Shaky Set of Ruler*.
