The present owner is
a stranger, and knows nothing of the battle
that took place Dec. 21, 1860. and the re-
moval of the bodies of the massacred sol-
diers to a distant national cemetery (Cus-
ter Battlefield), has destroyed the last
mark of the conflict. Such is warfare on
the plains, and the fate of the heroes of
Indian lights seems to be a plunge into ob-
livion.
The massacre, which was one of the most
hear-trending in all border annals, was per-
petrated by the bloody Sioux under Red
Leaf, a subordinate chief to Red Cloud.
The troops were commanded by Lieut.
Col. W. .1. Fetterman, Eighteenth United
States infantry. Not a white man escaped,
and the story of the fight could only be
gleaned from the signs found on the spot
after it was over.
Like the Little Big Horn massacre, where
Custer fell, the Fort Phil Kcarny massa
cre took place- in a valley, out of sight 01
any chance spectators. The cause of the
collision was the old story of the white
man’s encroachments and savage ven-
geance. The massacre occurred just at the
close of the civil war, when the nation’s
strength had been taxed to the utmost
and the Indians had been left pretty much '
to themselves, to become insolcnt and pow-
erful. Civilization was pushing on across
Montana and lVyoming, making high-
ways through the haunts of the black
bear, the antelope and the buffalo, which
Red Cloud‘s bands claimed as their hunt-
ing grounds. The government held that
the territory belonged to the friendly
Crows, and when Red Cloud ordered the
settlers and the troops to leave or take the
consequences several forts were built to
protect a route through central Dakota
and southern Montana, Fort Phil Kear-
ny, at the crossing of Piney creek, in Da-
kota, was one of these. The posts were far
apart, and had no relation to one another
for the purposes of defense in case of a
heavy attack. The garrison of Fort Phil
Kearny was about 400 strong, and con-
sisted of five companies of the Eighteenth
infantry and one of the Second cavalry.
Col. Henry B. Carrington, of the, Eight
eenth, commanded the district and had his
headquarters at Fort Phil Kearny, where
Col. Fetterman was second in command.
Skirmishing and fighting had been going
on for months in the whole region and the
posts were virtually in a state of seige. It
was with difficulty that supply trains
could be piloted through to the forts. The
only dependence of the troops upon the
surrounding country was for wood for fuel
and for building purpmes, and at Fort
Phil Kearny this had to be hauled about
four miles. On the morning of December '
21 the wood train, while on the way to the
timber lot, was halted by a band of savages
and went into position for defense. The
pickets, who occupied elevated places
around the fort, soon signaled danger and
the garrison was at once in a state of
alarm. Col. Carrington and others had
families at the fort, and some little ones
who were playing outside of the stockade
read the terrible news told by the signal
flag and ran in to their mothers crying out,
“Indians! Indians!” Every soldier’s heart
thrilled anew with the resolution to stand
between the helpless ones looking to them
for protection and the cruel red men whose
hearts knew no mercy for age or sex.
The garrison was already weakened by
skirmishin g parties that were outside and
by a guard which was with the wood train.
Col. Carrington ordered another detach-
ment to prepare to move out and rescue the
train, and at the same time gave instruc-
tions for the remaining troops of the gar-
rison to defend the fort in case of a general I
attack. The detachment consisted of.one
company of me Eighteenth infantryffor-
merly commanded by Fetterman; Capt. F.
H. Brown’s company of the Second cavalry,
and-some small details of other available
troops. he soldiers, officers and men
numbered seventy-nine. While the prepa-
/

rations were going on groups of Indians be-
gan to show themselves in the openings of
the forest within sight. As soon as the
command was drawn up on the parade
ready for the start Col. Carrington ad-
dressed the whole assembled garrison, and
urged upon them the duty of watchfulness
and coolness. Every employe, servant, wo-
man and boy was provided with weapons.
Before giving the word of command, “For-
ward,” to the little detachment upon whom
all eyes rested, Col. Carrington, not hav-
ing yet designated a leader for the party,
coolly handed his revolver to his wife, who
stood confidingly beside him, and said: “If
the worst comes to worst do not allow
yourself to be taken prisoner, but kill your-
self rather than be captured.”
This gave notice that the commandant
intended to lead the forlorn succoring party
himself. Fetterman, whose name was a
synonym for high courage, was standing
passive in his place near hissuperior, await-
ing orders, and when this startling speech
was finished he saluted the commander,
and glancing from the gentle, clinging wife
thus addressed, to her gallant husband and
the little band gathered to follow him on
this errand of almost certain disaster, spoke
with soldierly courtesy and energy this
very logical protest:
“Col. Camington, the garrison of which u
4..
ou are commander is not going out entire,
but only a detachment, and I, as second in
command to you and as senior oflicer after
you, respectfully claim my right to lead at
this time. ”
The appeal was irresistible, and it re-
moved all excuse for the colonel’s separw
tion from his family. Should he refuse
Fetterman’s request to lead the party it
would be an impeachment of that officer’s
well known bravery, and should he permit
Fetterman to lead and yet himself accom-
pany the troops it would throw a doubt
upon the ability of his subordinate. The
order was given and the party marched
out of the Stockade under Fetterman. In-
spired by the incident, Lieut. Grummond,
of the Eighteenth regiment, and two or
three civilians volunteered to go along.
Once outside of the fort Fetterman
dashed on toward the scene where the
wood train guard were now fighting with
savages. On the bare knolls all around
and in the openings in the forest Indians
could be seen swarming and watching the
actions of the garrison. In a very short
time the command had passed over a ridge,
hiding it from view from the fort.
It was discovered at this time that there
was no me ical officer with Fetter-man’s
band, and a surgeon went out promptly in
the direction of attack. He passed out of
sight of the fort, and after a time returned
and reported that the troops were drawn
up on a ridge beyond a valley with In-
dians swarming upon all sides of them, a
force being between the detachment and
the fort that he, the surgeon, could not
get through alive. That was the last re-
port from Fetterman and his men, except
the sound of the battle that reached Fort
Phil Kearny.
In a few minutes after the surgeon’s rc-
tnrn firing began, very sharp at first and
growing heavier, but receding gradually,
as though the Indian were giving way.
Soon the firing died away almost entirely;
then it was renewed with extra fury, end-
ing in several regular and determined vol-
leys. Then followed an odd shot or two
and silence fell over the whole field.
Meanwhile a second detachment had left
the fort to re—enforce Fettcrman. It reached
the ridge that hid the battlefield from the
view of the fort, and found the valley be
yond filled with Sioux warriors who chal-
lenged the troops to advance. It was from
this point that the sounds of firing had
come, and yet Fetter-man’s band was not in
sight. The relief party advanced and the
Indian skirmishers receded, and in the low
and secreted portions of the valley lay the
massacred, man and horse all dead. As
soon as the spectacle had told its horrible
story to the comrades of the brave men,
still warm and weltering in their blood,
the Sioux moved forward over the field
again with overwhelming numbers, and
the relief detachment returned to the fort
bearing the terrible news. Some of the
skirmishers had gone near enough to the
slaughtered band to discover Fetterman’s
body lying among his men. He had led
and had fallen at his post.
The next morning Col. Carrington
marched toward the battlefield With ade-
tachment of eighty men. The Indians had
gone and he found the field just as it had
appeared the day before to the troops when
the Indians were permitted to look on from
a distance. The fighting had taken place
along a trail which descended a ridge into
the valley from the way of the fort and as-
cended on the opposite side. Bodies of sol-
diers and of horseswere found in the val-
ley above and below the roadway, and it
was plain that the fighting had commenced
on the farthest hillside where, the surgeon
had seen the command on the eve of battle.
Here Fetterman had been met by a strong
party of Sioux warriors, and immediately
other bands had moved in along the valley
from both directions to the road in his
rear, and had so hemmed himin complete-
ly. Turning, he had attempted to out his
way back along the road to the fort, losing
men at every step, and making a death
stand with a few followers far up the side
of the valley nearest the fort. Here, among
four huge rocks, were heaped many bodies
of soldiers, and Fettermau lay upon them,
with a revolver shot through his temple.
Capt. Brown, commanding the cavalry,
lay near him, shot in the same manner,
and it was surmised at the time that they
had been the last to die and had killed each
other to save themselves from Indian
torture. The bodies of the brave victims
had been mutilated by the fiendish Sioux
: in a manner that defies description. Eyes,
teeth and hands had been torn from their
sockets and carefully placed around upon
some sightly objects to give them ghastly
prominence. One body contained 500 ar-
rows. These atrocities, far from injuring
the dead, were an unwitting tribute to
their prowess, for they showed that the
destructiveness of the soldier’s fire had
been such as to arouse the savage vin-
dictiveness to the highest pitch.
There were no Indian bodies on the
battlefield, but pools of dark blood all
along the valley and on the hillsides
showed where the treacherous Sioux war-
riors had bled under the bullets of their
brave but unfortunate foemen. It was the
ambush over again that had done the fatal
work, but the wily savage had paid heavily
for his triumph.
The slaughtered soldiers were buried
near the field, their officers among them.
A monument was erected and a fence was
put around the little cemetery. Twenty-
two years later, when the fence had been
destroyed and the iron posts hauled away
to do other duty on the neighboring farms,
and the brick of the monument likewise,
the remains were taken up and placed in
the Custer National cemetery, where they
lie beside the gallant band who fell in a
similar way on the Little Big Horn, in
1876. The formal orders under which Col.
Fetterman acted in this fight were, “To
support the wood train, relieve it and re-
turn to the fort;” but it has been claimed
that Col. Carrington twice cautioned him
incidentally not to go beyond the first
ridge which would. hide him from the fort.
The wood train, however, was far beyond
that and was encompassed with savages.
To have halted without attempting to cross
the valley and succor the train would have
been cowardly. To goforward anddo the
duty assigned meant fight at any hazard,
and the brave commander who had vol-
unteered the leadership chose the latter.

Artist Millais’ Fine Studio.
Sir John Millais is universally conceded
to have the finest studio in all London. It
is situated at Palace Gate, Kensingtou.
The house was built for himself. It is of
the Italian order of architecture, and is
constructed of red brick, ornamented with
massive pillars and balconies of white
stone. When you enter the very large
ball you pass almost unthinkingly over
the beautiful pavement of colored marbles
arranged in mosaic, so much is the eye at—
tracted by the screen of marble columns
that shuts off the broad stone staircase,
but not so completely hides the stair but
that the visitor looks on to the first broad
landing beyond the columns, and sees
there a white marble fountain, its base
surrounded by palms, throwing up its per-
fumed water high into the sunshine that
streams through the window behind.
The studio takes up nearly the whole
first floor. It is 49 feet long and 25 feet
wide. The height is 23 feet, the walls be-
ing painted a rich Venetian red, but that is
almost concealed by tapestry hangings.
There is a polished oak dado running
all around the
the room and pilasters of the same
wood separate it off into panels. There
are two long windows from the ground to
the ceiling to admit the valued “north
light,” and another facing the marble
mantelpiecc, which is of the most superb
marble, exquisitely carved—Cor. Phila-
delphia Times.
Captured Through His Sweetheart.
A confidential clerk in Kansas City who
absconded with $23,000 belonging to his em-
ployer was captured after some novel de—
tective work. He had a sweetheart in
Michigan, and the detective engaged in
the case, hearing this, instructed his best
looking assistant to proceed to Michigan
and make the acquaintance of the girl.
The assistant, finding that the young wo-
man’s people kept a boardintr house, on-
gaged board with them and then began a
flirtation with the girl. She became very
much smitten with the new comer, and
during one of their chats together he en-
tered into a glowing account of his travels,
and wandered around until he finally men-
tioned Kansas City and several acquaint}
ances there, among whom was the ab-
sconder.
She blushed at the mention of the. name,
and the detective interpreted this as mean-
ing that she was still corresponding with
the rascally clerk. He continued to pay the
lady marked attention, and at length
learned that she was corresponding with a
man named Thompson, in Chicago. This
intelligence being communicated to the
chief detective, another assistant was dis-
patched to hunt up Thompson, who was
found, and turned out to be the man want-
ed. He was arrested and all but 8250 of
the stolen money recovered.——Philadclphia
Ledger.
Goats in Central Park.
The Harlem goat is another despoiler of
the Park. He loves to browse on the shrub-
bery in the region of N inetieth street.
\Vhen caught he is impounded, and the
owner must pay $4 to recover him. For
years the redemption fee for goats was only
$5.3,"but that was paid with so much cheer-
fulncss that the price was doubled. The
Harlem goat is a wily and observant crea-
ture. ‘ He knows a policeman’s uniform
afar off, and at sight of a graycoat be-
tween the trees hastily leaps from the par-
ticular knoll that he is despoiling and
scuttles out 'of the Park. At the‘approach of
other human beings he placidly browses on.
The tradition that the goat can detect a
policeman in citizen’s dress is an unde-
served tribute to the brute’s intelligence.
NOW and then, when a graycoat detects a
herd of goats fattening upon the herbage,
he calls his fellows and a systematic goat
hunt begins. The animals are surrounded,
so that all avenues of escape are cut off,
and the whole herd is taken to the pound.
The result is wailing among the rocks of
Shantytown and a sudden enrichment of
the city treasury—New York Star.
‘A Seminole Reporter.
A half breed Seminole has come from
New Orleans to Pittsburg in a small paper
canoe. John Ryegrass is the English trans-
lation of this Indian’s unpronounceable
name. Mr. Ryegrass is tall and well
formed, with the small hands and feet
which Lord Byron says are the sure exem-
plars of noble descent. Ryegrass was born
at Tallahatchic, Fla, but was taken by
Father Burger, a Jesuit priest, to the New
Orleans university at the age of 16 years.
He seems to be fairly educated, and states
that his ambition is to become a newspaper
reporter. He will proceed up the Alle-
gheny as far as it is navigable, and then
return and transport his canoe to Lake
Erie. John Ryegrass has written several
articles for The New Orleans Picayune and
other southern papers.——Pittsburg Dis-
patch.
A Faithful Dog.
Air. J. A. Thompson. of Bangor, has a
small dog which he believes to he possessed
of more than the average of canine intelli-
gence. He is also the owner of a cow, of
which the dog is a fast friend. The cow
was sick and Mr. Thompson stopped giv-
ing her grain for a time.
The dog evidently did not understand
the reason for this deprivation, and con-
cluded to attend to her wants himself, for
one day when their owner went into the
stable he found the dog in the very act of
supplying the cow with meal from the bar-
rel where it was kept by taking all he
could carry in his mouth and leaving it in
a box in front of the cow, who eagerly .de‘
voured the much missed food.——Lewiston

THE IPARLOR.
Hints on Decorations—The Proper Pro-
portlops to Be Observed.
The parlor _in most houses is kept for
special occasions and visits of ceremony,
and might be termed a room where the
most treasured works of art are placed on
exhibition. The style most appropriate for
this important room must, of course, de-
pend upon the taste of the designer and the
amount of money at his disposal. For a
mansion of great pretensions the various
French styles and the Italian renaissance
offer the most valuable suggestions for de-
tails. In low cost houses the scheme of
decorations must necessarily be of a simple
order, and as the rooms are limited in
number the parlor must serve the double
purpose of a sitting room as well as a room
for entertainment.
The first consideration for appearance is
the dimensions of the room. An absolute-
ly square room is unsupportablc. If the
ceiling is too high or the room too long
and narrow all sense of comfort is lost; a
long room with a low ceiling is likewise
unpleasant.

FIREPLACE AND MANTEL.
Fortunately the appearance of the room
can be greatly influenced by the decoration,
and the treatment should be such as‘to
correct any errors of proportion as far-as
possible. If the ceiling appears too high
it can be brought down by the use of hori-
zontal bands of color on the walls, by a
frieze or dado, or both, if desired. Or, the
ceiling may be coved, and moldings
placed at the bottom of the cove only.
If the ceiling appears too low in any
room the treatment must be reversed, that
is, all horizontal divisions must be avoided,
and vertical ones substituted. Or if aroom
be too long it may be improved by divisions
across its narrowest dimensions; this may
be done by color, but more effectively by
screens and draperies, which give much
scope for design, as they may be m. le' light
and dainty and picturesque, or solid and
richly carved, as the case may require, and
by their aid we can secure cozy nooks and
corners for chairs and other details ofcom-
fort so desirable in a modern parlor.
The treatment of doors and windows
has great influence upon the effect of the
room.
Broad doors and large windows give an
air of lightness and hospitality to a room,
while a single door will give the appear-
ance of seclusion and privacy which is not
possible to attain where there are several
entrances. Bay windows are always an
attractive feature of a house and are es-
pecially appgopriato at the side or end of a
parlor as regards appearance and cheerful-
ness. Parquetry floors may be considered a.
luxury only suitable for expensive dwell-
ings, where the rooms are furnished with
richly colored rugs and elaborate furniture.
Thecolors formerly considered the most
suitable for the decoration of a parlor were
white and gold, or cold gray tones, which
make cheerless rooms unless very cleverly
managed. A more effective result may be
obtained by a delicate yellow in place of
the white, with gold, provided that the de-
tails of the woodwork are kept in har-
mony. Since the choicest of the owner’s
pictures will be hung in this room the
walls should have a tint which will form a
good background. Soft subdued shades of
olive or red will in most cases best serve
this purpose, and the walls can be made
rich enough with the pictures. If there
are few pictures the tones can be deeper
and richer in color.
Moresque frctwork and panelings are
suitable enrichments for a parlor, which
may be partially covered with proper
draperies, giving a most charming effect.
In cheap work these results may be ob-
tained by papering instead of painting‘the
walls. Kalsomine colors are objectionable
as they are not durable.
The fireplace and -mantel are perhaps the
most susceptible of rich decoration. A
neat design in wood with shelves and mir-
rors, brass frames and beautifully colored
tile facings, and hearth with a wrought iron
basket grate, complete, can but satisfy the
most fastidious. DAVID IV. KIXG.
