The deaths with­ in the preceding forty-eight hours numbered ten. Lieut. Benner, of the relief boat Chambers, died a few miles below Vicksburg, on the morning cf the 17th. The announce- ieut ot his death cast a cloud of sadness over the entire city, and caused a deep feeling sorrow at Washington and elsewhere throughout the country. He voluntarily ac­ companied the steamer on its mission of mercy into the infected district, and had ex­ pressed the belief that, by his long service in the South during the war, he had become ac­ climated. He caught the disease by having given up his stateroom to a lady from the infected district, who waB at the time herself suffering from the disease, though she may have been unaware of the fact.

The physicians pronounced them to be genuine cases of yel­ low fever. The excitement at Helena, Ark., was said to be abating on the 17th. Six of seven physicians contended that the disease prevail­ ing there was not yellow fever. --A witness was testifying that on the morning after the murder he met the defendant at breakfast, and the lat­ ter "called the waiter and said"-- "Hold on!" exclaimed the attorney for the defense, "I objecttowhat he said." Then followed a legal argument of about an hour and a naif on the objec­ tion, which was overruled, and the Court decided that the witness might state what was said. " Well, go on and state what was said to the waiter, remarked the District Attorney, flushed with legal victory. " Well," replied the witnesss, " he said, ' Bring me a rare beefsteak *nd a cpuple of soft- boiled eggs.'"--Los Angeles iCal.) Herald. bana, P. C. C;irr»H; Tuscola, W. D. Best; P.ix- ton, J. H.

The brother, who resides on Watson THE BED DEVILS IN KANSAS. An Account or Some of the Horrible Butcheries and Ontragei Committed by tlie Renegade Cheyennes During their Recent ltald Through Kansas* Dr. J. W. Scott writes as follows, under date of Wa-Keeney, Kan., Oct. 9, to the Chicago Tribune: Having seen In the Tribune and other pa­ pers, for several days back, varied reports of the depredations committed by the Cheyenne Indians on their recent raid through this country, and having at hand the true state of the case from a personal observation, I would lay the facts before you for publication, if you see lit at this late day: On Wednesday, the 2d, I received a tele­ gram from Buffalo to come to that point, and prepared to go to the Sappa Creek, sixty miles north, in Decatur County, to attend those who had been wounded by Indiaus. In com­ pany with Dr. Gauchenaur, of Ellie, and a body- uard of sixteen mounted men, we set out. or forty miles north of the Kansas Pacific Road no depredations had been committed, the Indians evidently being anxious to get along as rapidly as possible at thir point. Ou the North Fork of the SolomobRiver they be­ gan their deviltry, firing upon two land seek­ ers traveling in a wagon. One of the men was wounded in such a manner as to prove speedily fatal. The other, running his horses for about teu miles, escaped, and 'warned the settlers on Sappa Creek, but no attention was paid to the warning, so often, lately, had the same kind of reports been maae. On the following morning the Indians came suddenly into the Valley of the Sappa aud commenced their damnable work, killing th<j settlers in the fields, after having made tne strongest protestations of friendship. Before leaving ttiis stream they had killed outright seventeen men and left four more wounded. Nor were these the whole of their outrages. Women were horribly abused and left iusen- sible, children stripped naked and left »jpon the prairie, and 6tock destroyed and driven off. After having taken care of those wounded at this point, all of whom will probably re­ cover, we were about starting for Beaver Creek, when news was brought by a courier that there was no demand for us there. All who had remained there had been killed and mutilated In the most horrible manner. At all these places those living along the trail over which the Indians passed were robbed of all they possessed, and many women and children left destitute. The towns along the Kansas Pacific Road near where the crossing was made were in a fever of excitement, and made repeated de­ mands to the Governor and others in authority for arms, which were disregarded until after the danger anticipated had passed by, and the red devils were beyond their reach. In fact, on the day we were summoned to p^.eed to the wounded, a telegram passed through here from headquarters at Leavenworth, stating that there was not the least danger along the road; that there were no Indiaus in tola sec­ tion of conntry. Horrible as this destruction of life anu property may be, it seems doubly so to ue, who believe that, had proper measures been adopted, in view of the facts known at head­ quarters, this might have been prevented. The settlers were not only willing but anxious, had they received the arms they requested, to have turned out en masse and in'ercepted the passage of the Indiaus north. Twelve soldiers were stationed near the point where the Indians were expected to cross. At this point the settlers were con siderably alarmed, but without the slightest grouuds, for the Indians approached no town on their course. Moreover, they have never been known for years to cross this road on their passages to and fro east of the cattle- trail at Buffalo. As nearly as I can learn, about thirtv were. killed between this road and the Union Pacific Railroad, and six wounded. Three Indians were killed. These are the lacie, a» observed by myself. A Broken Heart. A MAN. is said to be " red" or "white" with rage. In using these expressions, we are physiologically speaking of the nervous condition of the minute circulation of the man's blood. " Red" -rage means partial paralysis of minute blood-vessels; and " white" rage means temporary sus­ pension of the action of the prime mover of the circulation itself. But such disturbances cannot often be pro­ duced without the occurrence of per­ manent organic evils of the vital or­ gans, especially of the heart and of the brain. One striking example is given by Dr. Richardson, in the case of a mem­ ber of his own profession. " This gentle- i man told me that an original irritability of temper was permitted, by want of due control, to pass into a condition of almost persistent or chronic anger, so that every trifle in his way was a cause of unwarrantable irritation. Sometimes his anger was so vehement that all about him were alarmed for him even more than for themselves; and when the attack was over there were hours of sorrow and regret in private which were as exhausting as the previous rage. In the midst Of one of these outbreaks of shorty severe madness he suddenly felt* to use his own expression, as if his ' heaff"Vere lost.' He reeled under the impfqpsion, was nauseated and faint; then, recov­ ering, he put his'hand to his wrist- and discovered an intermittent action of his heart as the cause of his faintness. He never completely rallied fron that, shock, and to the day of his death,* ten years later, he was never free from the intermittency. 41 am broken-hearted,' he would say, 'physically bvoken- hearted.' And so he Vas; but knowl­ edge of the broken heart tempered marvelously his passion and saved him many years of a really useful life. „He died ultimately from an acute febrile disorder.--•Chambers' Journal.! rigly Little Wo me Beauty gets plenty of praiisk Poets sing of it, romancers furnish it in abundance to their heroines, dramatists use it as the motive of their most Itir- ring plays, painters and sculptors'de- light to portray it; all the world wor­ ships it. And yet there is much t#> be said about the noble qualities of ligly little women. There is often more charm in the vitality, energy, unsel­ fishness and gayety of an ugly tittle woman than in a half dozentall, quien- ly beauties, who have to be on the watch all the time to pose well and make their points effective. THerp. iiave been men in the world who thought it a fine thing to say that " an ugly woman has no place in the econo­ my of nature." But if the records of the world were intelligibly writteft it would be found that ugly little wonien have been the heroines, the helpmeets of the heroes. It is the functigp? of beauty to get men into trouble, nllen of Troy, Cleopatra, Mary Queen of Scots, and hundreds of others, where'er they came, brought calamity. Beauty and anguish have walked hand in hand the downward slope to death; and whenever the poet dreams of /air women he is sure to dream sometRtag doleful. If he were to have a dream of uglv little women it would be full of brightness, loyalty, devotion, sincerity,, fortitude--and all those other lov&ble female qualities that make home happy. Tall Beauty is epic; Little Ugly is lyric, home like. Just think of what a (feep- seated compliment is involved in Mill­ ing irregularity of feature homeliness. It means that she is not for the ball­ room, but for the home, for the friend­ ships that cluster around the heirth, for the merry little sociable, the picnic or off-hand game, or for the darkened sick-room where she brings rest and comfort. " Pretty is as pretty d^ete" is an old maxim whose truth is only half appreciated. For in the plainness of feature and insignificance of person of homely women there is often found an earnestness, a whole-souled sweet­ ness and sympathetic expression, that win love, far quicker than mere beauty. The world could far more easily afford to lose its supplies of beauty th&n to give up its precious stores of ugly little women. The beauties wait to beloved; the others delight in loving.--Baltimore Every Saturday. , ., m % m ^ --Senator Butler, of South Carolina, unconsciously perpetrated a good ipke during his visit to Minnesota.
