BBUTAL BUTCHERY. MsMment by the Survivor of Indian Massacre. Brief mention has been made bv tele­ graph of an Indian butchery which oc­ curred on the road to the Black Hills, about 100 miles from Fort Laramie. A recent arrival fiom the Black Hills has kindly furnished the following details of the affair. They will be read with some degree of interest by the many in this section of country now preparing to pjake a trip to the bills. The scene of the massacre was the edge of a fringe of scrubby oottonwood and box elder, which fringe the banks of a shallow and very crooked creek, about forty miles northwest of Red Cloud Agency. It ap­ pears that a small party of Jttiack Hiiiers, with one or two wagons loaded with pro­ visions, were encamped upon the banks of this creek, which goes by the nam© of Indian creek. About 9 o'clock at night, just as the men were settling down to pass the • night, the Indians stole into the camp. They fired their first volley into a wagon in which a lighted lantern was hanging from the wagon bows. A man named B. O. Stewart, of Salt Lake, who wa» seated beneath the wagon cover, received twenty-nine bullets in his body, and fell dead. Two Colorado men were standing by a camp-fire, and offered a fine target- for the Indian bullets, but, strange as it may appear, the shower of I bullets all missed them. One of these men, a man named Frederick Bartol, of Boulder county, Col., ran to his wagon, and was shot dead instantly. The other man ran away into the darkness and laid down upon his face. Two other men followed him. One of these men, Walker by name, kept on running, and although undressed and in his bare feet, made his way over the plain through eight miles of prickly pear and reached a camp on Hat creek in a pitiable condition, his feet filled with the sharp needles of the cactus, and his person almost frozen. The men killed were not sctdped. One of them was found next morning with an ax sunk into his head and frozen there. The stores in the wagons were plundered, and the corn and flour were scattered over the ground. A lot of poultry in barrels was left untouched. Two guns were broken and left on the ground. If this is the way Spotted Tail's relations are keeping the peace in Wyo­ ming, it would not do to trust them too far after they have been transferred to the proposed settlements southwest of this city.--Kansas City {Mi.)

Was Farragut Lashed to the Rigging; A writer in Scribner for February, who was an eye-witness of the battle in Mobile Bay, takes the negative of the above question as follows : When the fleet had crossed the bar and was inside of Sand Island, and had ap­ proached to within about one mile and a quarter of Fort Morgan, Admiral Far­ ragut coolly and deliberately ascended the starboard main rigging and halted just beneath the top. Passing his arm n£ through the "lubber's hole," he seized the foot of the pilot, Martin Freeman by Lame, who was standing in the maintop, giving orders to the helms­ man. The Signal Quartermaster, in obedienoe to the or lei s of Capt. Dayton, took up a hammock-lashing to secure the Admiral to the shrouds, so that in case he should be killed his body would not fall overboard or on the deck, but by Freeman's advice the Admiral would not allow it to be passed around him. The Quartermaster returned with his lashing to the deck ; and Farragut, the brave, passed the long line of torpedoes anH the Confederate forts and fleet un­ scathed--while still clinging to the foot of his trusty old pilot, Martin Freeman. This is the truth which the historian should receive and record, if he chooses to fhake note of what was but an inci­ dent in that terrible action. Many BUT- vivors of that day will vouch for the above account As for Mir an Freeman, he still lives in the immediate vicinity of the bay where the battle was fought --being the principal keeper of Horn Island lighthouse in Mississippi sound. Should any one cbanc 3 to question this writer's assertion in regard to the above matter, he is respectfully referred to Mr. Freeman, who was probably better ac­ quainted at the time with the move­ ments of Admiral Farragut than any other individual in the fleet--@apt. Per- cival Drayton, perhaps, excepted--and he is known as the heroic and loyal son of South Carolina, and Fleet-Captain of the West Gulf Squadron. The philom*- phy of Admiral Farragut's chosen posi­ tion is easily explained. During the noise of the battle, he naturally desired to be so stationed that when no human voioe could be heard aloft, should it be neoessary for him to communicate with the pilots by tightly grasping the foot of that person the signal would be noticed ; and. as a Mr. Freeman did respond, and, by bending down, lent his ear to the "lubbers' hole" for such orders as the Admiral wished to give him. A Paper Menagerie. The exchanges have restocked their menageries, the band has begun to play, and the printer's devil about the mon­ key's cage had better keep away. A large petrified rattlesnake, with a per­ fect set of rattles, has been found by a temperance man near Red Bluff, in the far West. An absent-minded gentle­ man, who recently emigrated from Fayetteville to Williamton, N. C., has received by express two large and super­ annuated cats of his own sex, which his considerate neighbors had boxed up and sent to his address. A panther eight feet long has been shot near Glovers- ville, N. Y. An epicure in Sedalia, Mo., has restricted Himself to thirty quail in thirty days. From fifteen to twenty 'coons axe killed near Marble Hill, Mo., every cL»y. German scientists have sent an order to a Buffalo agent for fifty specimens of the Monopoma Alle- ganiensis, or " hell-bender," tod the mud banks of Olean county, N. Y., are now being ransacked for these curious little half-alligators. Bears eveiywhere; also dogs. A lass of 18 was sitting with her lover in the kitchen of her home at Osceola, Mo., one evening, when she noticed that the fire was low. Rising to replenish the fuel her foot struck what she supposed was a piece of rope, and stooping to pick it up she received the venomous fangs of a large rattlesnake in her thumb. The girl simply turned the light up, asked the young man to kill the reptile, and seizing a large case-knife severed the thumb from the hand, thus preventing the poison from getting into her system. The snake measured four feet and two inches in length. All of which is a remarkable instance of pres­ ence of mind and of--snake. The cir­ cuit of the exchange menagerie is com­ plete--beginning and ending with snakes. Startling Revelations. "Some startling revelations," says a recent writer, "have been made in re­ ference to what is known as vulcanized india- rubber. This substance is ordina­ rily composed of india-rubber mixed with from 10 to 20 per centum of sul­ phur at a temperature of about 300 de­ grees Fahrenheit. It is customary, however, to add a certain proportion of lead or zinc oxide, by which means the vulcanite acquires additional weight and solidity. Now, these oxides act most injuriously on the human system when absorbed, and it was in consequence of the complaints which were everywhere made some time ago that caoutchouc suckers containing zinc have been al­ most universally discontinued in the manufacture of sucking bottles for in­ fants. A case, however, has recently come to light in Berlin which shows that a similar danger attends the use of any sort of toy made of caoutchouc. A child had received a. rubber doll, and, from holding it a great deal to his mouth, was taken ill. The doll, when placed in vinegar, became coated with incrusta­ tions which proved to be acetate of zino. On close examination it was discovered that 60 per centum of the substance of which the doll was composed consisted of zinc oxide! Another doll, which came from Brunswick, and was said to be quite •harmless,' yielded as much as 571 per centum of ashes, con­ sisting of zinc OKide, with small traces of inipuiitie*, «uch as lead* . iron fltid Jnne." . • . ; 1 A Thousand to One. , A JjTew York paper publishes an account of a rather remarkable pair of bets made by the eccentric and opulent Earl of Dudley. The bets in question were made on board a steamer in the Thames after an animated discussion over the prospects of Imperialism in France The Earl offered to bet £1 to £1,000 that the Prince Imperial would never in his (Lord ©udley's) lifetime be re­ called to the French throne. Such odds oould not be resisted by mortal man, and Gen. Richard Taylor, of Louisiana, who was one of the company, at once took the bet, paid his sovereign and "booked" it. The Prince of Wales followed suit, and there is no saying how many takers might have been had if the Earl had not promptly closed the busi­ ness. A Vew Breed of Domestic Cattle. It is stated in the Turf, Field and Farm, that the farmers in Nebraska have commenced the domestication of the buffalo. The wild animals, while young, are introduced among herds of the tame stock ; of course, only one or two at a time. Half and quarter breeds are found to be very hardy, and in the yield of milk the cows of mixed stock give even more than the average yield of rich m'lk. The experiment promises well, as the endurance of the wild ani­ mals is imparted to the domestic stock. In this way the extermination of the species will take a new form, and when buffaloes become legendary creatures, the progeny of the race will still exist in modified, though probably more use­ ful forms. A xotrira Baltimore man told his wife that he had embezzled several hun­ dred dollars of his employers' money, a ad she said that by close economy they could save enough to refund the amount, and thus save his credit. When they had, by hard pinching, accumu­ lated the required sum, the husband added that to the stolen money, and eloped with a girl, as he had intended to do from the first. x A 3TKW "diamond" mine has been discovered in Yuba county, 0aL PARDON OF A LIFE COM VICT. Moat Famous Struggle Kver Knifed for Executive Clemency. A. few days before the expiration of his term of office as Chief Magistrate of Indiana, Gov. Hendricks pardoned Leander B. McKinney, a once noted desperado, who was sent to the State Prison South twenty years ago from Bartholomew county for murder. " Never in the history of the Southern Prison," says the Jefferson News, "has there been a oonvict who had so many and Rueh influential friends to intercede in his behalf. The efforts to obtain the benefit of executive clemency for •Buck'--so called familiarly--go back to the beginning of the late war. The first move was made by Gen. Rousseau, row deceased. Buck had served with the General in the Mexican war, and when Gen. Rousseau was assigned to his command in Camp Joe Holt he met his old comrade in arms. He knew he was a good man, with one exception, and he commenced a move for McKin- ney's pardon. Since that time the friends of McKinney have been untir­ ing in their efforts to relieve him from his long and weary confinement. Buck was a general favorite, and has been called upon at the prison bv Governors, Senators, Congressmen, and other pub­ lic men, who deemed it no degradation to take him warmly by the hand. Gov. Willard, previous to nis visit to Wis­ consin, where he died, had signified his intention of pardoning McKinney, but never had a chance of redeeming his promise. Lieut. Gov. Hammond, who succeeded Willard, made a similar promise, but wo presume he yielded to the strong pressure which always came up from Columbus, protesting against the pardon. Gen. Rousseau's move would have succeeded bat for a Colum­ bus man accidentally hearing of it at the depot in this city. He hastened to that place* and upon giving the in formation the fire-bells were rung, calling a public meeting, which sent up strong resolutions denouncing the project to free McKinney. Gov, Morton was considering the pardon in a very reasonable light, but the public indignation put an end to it, and sealed MoKinney's fate for a term of years lon­ ger. His case was laid before Gov. Baker, but, despite all McKinney's in­ fluential friends, the protest ©f Barthol­ omew county again defeated it. Ever since Gov. Hendricks' inauguration McKinney's friends have renewed their exertions, but they have had the same obstacles to contend with all along until this fall. They seemed to feel the neces­ sity of success this year, and felt it was now or never. They were fortunate in securing the withdrawal of the oppo­ sition of all but two persons, but still Gov. Hendricks hesitated, ana on Tues­ day week laid away the papers, deter­ mined to refuse the pardon. Time ran on until the last day of Hendricks' term, during which McKinney was in the most intense suspense, neither rest­ ing by day nor sleeping at night. Mc­ Kinney abandoned all hope Saturday night. On Monday morning Col. Keig- win went to Gov. Hendricks' office and said to him, ' Governor, I think about the last official act you do ought to be to pardon Buck McKinney.' The Gov­ ernor looked up, without a twinkle in his eye, and said, 'That can never be.' •That is mighty hard,'said Col. Keig- win. 'Buck ^icKinney can never be pardoned out of that Penitentiary.' • I am mighty sorry,' said the disappointed Colonel, t At thiB Gov. Hendricks thought he had tortured Keigwin suf­ ficiently, and he added : • It can't be done, because it's already done, and there is the document. I have just signed it.' Thus ended perhaps the most famous struggle ever exerted for executive clemency. It extended through the terms of four different Gov- ernois, and included in its adherents a larger list of friends than any convict ever previously had interested in his be­ half." - Imports of Steel and Cutlery. A suggestive commentary on our growing independence of European manufactures is found in the fact that not r. single pound of railroad bar steel was imported it New York during the past year, while during 1875 there was entered at the Custom House 13,164,- 002 pounds, valued nmt $419,537. Either all this material is now made in this country or there was no use for the article by the railroad companies. The importation of cutlery for 1876 foots up $771,945, against $1,047,159 for 1875. The importation of silk goods during the past year amounted to $21,234,300, against $23,161,312--a falling off of $2,927,012. California Produces. The following are some of the approxi­ mate facts touching the leading produc­ tions of this State for the past year : Value. Wheat, 33,000.000 centals $40,000,000 Wool, 66,000,000 poonda...* 9,000,000 Wine. 11,000,000 gaUoaa 3,000,000 Hay. 1,000,000 tona 8,000,000 MlacelUneooa 10,000,000 Olnnd of tfia Alps. Among the most exquisite scenes which <J®- ligbt the oye of the European traveler are thoM wonderful roBo-coIored aloi;d-b*nnors, floating from the Alpine cliff#. But it is only in the sunlight that Nature hangs out these beauti­ ful token* So it ia'only in She glow of health --the sunlight of our inner being--that Nature reveals these physical clond-banners, the "roey cheek" and "cherry lip," to praise which every poet of the earth has invoked the Muse to aid him. But they are as rare aa the cynical Hood conceived Clui»tian charity to be. Woman, eager to retain this charm, resort* to French art and rouge. The effect is similar to that which would be produced by substituting auctioneers' flags for the delicate glowiKg cloud-ban IK TH of the Alps. If woman would aid Nature instead of adopting art, would nek health instead of vainly trying to mA*k disease, aha wou'.d not only win the greatest charm of womanhood--health--hnt ghe •rotild «?ert much misery both from herself and othera.
