A THRILLING SCENE.
A letter to the Omaha Herald, dated
"Old Militia Camp, on the Yellowstone,
May 11," says :
A party composed of Jules Farrar,
Pierre Bernard, Ike Hedges, George Hen
den, a Crow Indian, and the undersigned,
left this place on the 1.8th of March, for a
trip to the almost unknown falls ol the
Yellowstone.
On the 2d of April, about 10 a. m.. we
halted at the base of some foot hills, there
being some sign of gold, and commenced
sinking a hole. We had not proceeded
long with our work before we were start- j
led by seeing our Crow Indian runnintr
swiftly towards us. He reported a small
band of Indians, known as "Sheep Eat
ers," distant about four miles above, and
in the same canon. We felt no great un
easiness, however, knowing full well that
with our improved fire arms we would be
enabled to overcome fifty of the sneaking
red devils.
The same night our pack-horses, three
in number, were run off by the “Sheep
Eaterswe started in pursuit before day
light, and the sun was not more than fif
teen minutes high when we struck their
trail. From the appearance of the same,
it was evident that they had at least four
hours the start of us. Upon questioning our
guide, we ascertained that the valley we
were in, and which their trail followed,
was bordered on both sides by precipitous
mountains, ami there was no possible
mode of egress save by the upper end of
the valley, which opened to the Yellow
stone but a short distant above one of the
fall*.
No sooner was this information elicited
than away we sped in pursuit. After
nearly three hours' sharp riding we came
upon the hand, and in siieh a manner a# to
cause us some surprise, about midway in
the stream, where could be seen a hastily -
constructed raft, composed of drift-wood
joined together by thongs made of buck
skin and buffalo robes. I'pon this strange
craft were seen, in the centre, thirteen
braves, while five squaws were essaying
to paddle the unwieldly craft to the oppo
site shore, with pieces of bark as substi
tutes for paddles. Our pack Horses were
in the river, and also .were the Indian f
ponies. Four of the latter reached the'
opposite shore.
This strange sight bursting upon our
view rendered us. lor the time being inca
pable of action. At a glance we could see j
that they were gradually going down
stream, "despite the efforts of the squaws,
and although our senses for the moment
forsook us, the sharp crack of a rifle aud
the yell of a ••Sheep Eater,, told that the'
equanimity of our Crow guide was well
preserved" At this juncture Pierre Bern
ard shouted out, “For God’s sake, boys,
don't murder them : they are bound to go
over the falls.” We looked out aud a
sight met our gaze which was fearfully
impressive.
The raft having been caught in an eddy,
not a vestige of it was to be seeD, it having
sunk several inches below the surface,
and the Indians seemed to be like so many
weird spirits floating on the rushing wa
ters. One of the Indians rose, and, bend- j
ing his bow, shot our Crow through the
arm. The shot was returned, and again
a yell of pain was heard proceeding from
a “Sheep Eater.” Bernard then told the
Crow, in his own dialect, to stop firing,
but he paid no attention to the command. |
Again he raised his rifle, but a lariat skill- j
fully thrown by Pierre held him fast The 1
scene now presented was one which those
who witnessed it will not forget to their dy
ing day.
The mid-channel, in which thev were
now swiftly gliding down, seemed to be
clear of obstructions, while on either side
jagged rocks peered out from the foaming
water. When abont fifty yards below
where we were standing, an old Indian
arose aud stood erect in the centre of a
circle of braves. He spoke a lew words,
turned his face towards the sun and seem
ingly bade it farewell: then wrapping his
robe around him he sat down. The squaws
immediately flung their pieces of bark in
to the river, threw themselves on the
submerged raft and commenced pulling
•out their long tresses, in the meanwhile
screaming and howling more like demons
than human beings.
Indians seated in the circle shook hands,
and then commenced wailing their always
mournful death song. Nearer, nearer,
they approached the fearful abyss, still
not a movement was perceptible on the
part of the braves. They sat as immova
ble as statues, and did not quake witli fear
at the near approach of the king of Ter
rors. As they shot swiftly down the
stream, our party instinctively raised their
hats while looking at them, and I doubt if
there was one, except the Crow, who did
not show signs of visible emotion.
We turned from the spot with indescrib
able feelings. As we take our last look at
the treacherous stream, where eighteen
mortals passed from life.to death, we dis
cern hovering over the fatal precipice two
large eagles, whose screams resound
above the noise of the waters. The roar
of the cataract and the eagles’ scream !
what a fit requiem for these departed red
children.

Dear Sir: I commenced taking your “Extract
of Barbu” about two weeks since Tor an affection of
the bladder and kidney#. I have suffered by spells
verv much for a few days past. But yesterday re
lief came through the effect of your "Buchu.” A
stone passed mv bladder about the size of a large
pea, and I now feel perfectly well and entirely free
from the pain that I have suffered with “so hard.”
I attribute mv cure to your medicine entirely, and
would recommend all persons similarly affected to
try it 1 have great faith in its curative powers.
Yours truly, THOMAS J. BENNETT.

THANKS TO MR. HELMBOLD.
Girard, Pa., March 31,1869.
Editor Cosmopute : I desire, as an unsolicited
tribute to the merits of Helmbold’s Buchu, and for
the benefit of those similarly afflicted as myself, to
say that after consulting many eminent physicians,
and trying nearly all the best advertised remedies,
in the vain hope of finding relief from aggrivated
kidney and bladder diseases, from which I have
suffered excessively for many years, good fortune
finally suggested to me Helmbold’s Buchu, which 1
commenced using with little faith, and no apparent
beneficial results for about a month. At the expir
ation of that time, however, 1 thought 1 commenced
to experience slight relief, which encouraged me to
persevere in its use, and now, at the expiration of
four months, although I am an infirm old man,
nearly 78 years of age, and consequently medicines
cannot be expected to favorably affect me as they
otherwise would, 1 have found such unspeakable
relief and permanent benefit from Mr. Helmbold’s
valuable discovery, that I feel I ought to publicly
record the fact, as an acknowledgement to Kira anti
a valuable suggestion to the public.
Yours respectfully, D. M. LAREN.

AND TO BE SEEN.
Burnside, Conn., Dec. 15,1*69.
I)R. Helmbold—Dear Sir: It la with much
pleasure that 1 write you upou facLs respecting my
self. I do not know hardly how to express my sell.
1 have been for tne last ten or twelve years the
greatest sufferer man could be and live; but more
sometimes than others. The complaint was the
“Kidneys” and “Bladder.” 1 have been sometimes
from twelve to fourteen hours, and wanted to make
water every minute, but could not. Have consult
ed doctors, both in Massachusetts and this State,
and taken pills, 1 may say, by the quart, also liq
uored medicines, but found no relief from any, and
got worse the last six months. 1 was so that I could
scarcely get about. I could not rest night or day.
It would soon have been “all up” with me if 1 had
not seen your advertisement in “The Berkshire
Courier” headed “Kidneys.” I read it through and
thought 1 would try it. 1 purchased a bottle, but,
mindvou, had not much faith In it. Why should 1,
when I had been trying so many things and cost me
ho much ? Well, I began taking it, and before I had
taken the first bottle I felt bad: but 1 finished it and
?ot another. By the time 1 took half of the second
still got worse (apparently). When 1 walked it
seemed as if my right kiduef was fulling from its
place, and I felt really bad. I felt so, before I hail
finished the second, that 1 had made up my miud it
was of no use trying any more—and all this time
the “Buehu” was doing it« work, but 1 did not
know it; bo 1 gave it up and went to Hartford on
Saturday to see one of the beat doctors in the city.
He said it was the neck of the bladder, and I should
have to undergo an operation. He gave me med
icine, and 1 went home quite downhearted. On
Sunday 1 was tumble to go to church. 1 had not
taken any of his medicine, but on my return contin
ued using the “Buehu,” and in the afternoon 1 had
a desire to make water, but could not. Al>out one
hour after this I tried again, with the same result;
but the next time 1 took the vessel it was the same
as turning a faucet and stoppiug it off again. It
was so for three times, and the third time there was
something came through the passage and struck
against the side of the vessel. 1 examined it, aud it
is the ugliest stone or gravel you ever saw. cov
ered over with little peices which collcted together.
It looks the color of a mud turtle, and is as hard as
a flint. 8o you see the “Buehu” was doing its work
although I was feeling so badly. I procured an
other bottle thinking their might be some more be
hind, but since that has passed, which is eight
weeks ago last Sunday, 1 have been as well as ever
1 was in my life. I have the stone securely w rapped
and those who have seen it in this place are sur
prised. 1 cannot tell you all, but this is a true story
of my case, and you are welcome to make such use
of my name as you think proper. I am pretty well
known in Berkshire; also in Connecticut. Tue ad
vertisement saved me. Why not publish more? 1
The Springfield Republican is a wide-spread paper. '
If any one wishes to see this wonder, thev cau do
so. I could write all day, but think I have said
enough this time, so I remain your ever well wisher i

Mr. If. T. Helmdold— Dear Sir: In regard to
the question asked me aa to my opinion about Bu
chu, I would say I have used and sold the article in
various forms for the past thirty years. I do not
think there is any form or preparation of it I have not
used, or known to be used, in the various diseases
where such medicate agent would be Indicated.
You are aware, as well as myself, that it has been
extensively employed in the various diseases of the
bladder and kidneys, and the reputation it has ac
quired, in my Judgment, is warranted by the facts.
I have seen and used, as before stated, every form
of Buchu—the powdered leaves, tincture, fluid ex
tracts—and I am not congnizant of any preparation
of that plant at all equal to yours. Twelve years
experience ought, I think, to give me the right to
judge of its merits; and, w ithout prejudice or par
tiality, I give yours precedence over all others.
I value vour Buchu for its effects on patients. I
have cured with it, and seen cured with it. more
diseases of the bladder and kidneys than 1 have
ever seen cured with any other Buchu or any other
proprietary compound of whatever name. Respect
hilly yours, Ac.

Philadelphia, Penn., June 25, 1867. |
II. T. Hblkbold, Druggist—Dear Sir. I have j
been a sufferer for upwards of twenty years with
gravel, bladder and kidney affections, during w hich
time I have used various medicinal preparations,
and been under the treatment of the most eminent
physicians, experiencing cat little relief.
Haring seen vour preparations extensively ad
vertised. I consulted my family physicau in regard
to u>ing vour Eqtract Buchu.
I did this because 1 had used all kinds of adver
! Used remedies and had found them worthless, and
some quite injurious; in fact. 1 despaired of ever
getting well, and determined to use no remedies
hereafter unless I knew of the ingredients. It was
this that prompted me to use your remedy. As you
Advertised that it was composes! of buchu. cubebs
nud juniper berries, it occurred to me and mv phys
ician as an excellent combination ; and with his ad
vice, after an examination of the article and con
sulting again with the druggist. I concluded to try
it. I commenced to use it about eight months ago,
at which time I vas confined to my room.
From the first bottle 1 was astonished at the ben
eficial effect, and after using it three weeks was
able to walk out. I felt much like writing to you a
full ftatement of mv case at the time, but thought
inv improvement might only be temporary, and
therefore concluded to defb’r. and see it it would
effect a perfect cure, knowing that it w ould be o!
greater value to you and more satisfactory to me.
I am now able’to report that a cure is effected,
after using the remedy for five months.
I have not used any now for three months, and
leel as well in all respects as I ever did.
Your Buchu being devoid of any unpleasant taste
and odor, a nice tonic and in vigorator of the system.
1 do not mean to be without it w henever occasion
mar retiuire its use on such affections.

many a poor child, suffering more from weakness

day. It is about the size and styie of arranr'-went
a. the usual Daily I.,egisIaIive*Jouni(il, and ill ty
pographical appearance will compare . orably,
we tllink, with the other Maine dailies. It >. un
signed by the publishers to issue it daily through
the year, but we fear they will find their enterprise
which ought to be a paying one, considering the
field it will occupy, to prove a losing one. It costs
a deal of money to publish a paper those times, and
a large, prompt paying subscription list and a good
ly amount of advertising patronage at respectable
rates, are necessary to make a paper self-sustain
ing, and prevent its being a source of embarass
inent to its proprietors. We tender this new can
date for public patronage our wishes for its firian
cial success.—Maine Standard.
