Clow calls—Ueatb uf Captain
Henbrcr-A BU( far Life.
Gan. Gao. L. Curry made the second
call for volunteers Feb. 22,1856. 1 start
ed out again under Capt. Wm. A. Cason,
company E, Clackamas county, with W.
G. Moore, first lieutenant; Wm. Mitchell,
second lieutenant; Gao. Reynolds, first
sergeant, and A. Holcomb, second ser
geant. Leaving Portland March S, 1856,
we reached the Cascades on the 6th, and
on the Bth we were ordered to The Dalles,
arriving there late in the afternoon.
On the morning previous to our arrival
quite a number of freight teams started
to Fort Walla Walla, laden with provis
ions lor the troops, and seventeen of our
company, including myself, under Sergt.
Reynolds were detailed to overtake and
guard them to Fort Henrietta. We did
not reach them that evening, and as we
had started with nothing to eat but flour
and coffee, I killed a steer to stay our ap
petites. The yearling belonged to Nathan
Olney, and be should Lave been paid for
it, but it is doubtful if it was ever re
ported.
Next day our company caught up, and
we camped about half way between the
John Day river and Willow creek. Early
next morning some Indians made a rush
on the guards and cot off about eighteen
bead of our horses, stampeding them.
About twenty of ns gave chase, following
tlie Indians almost to the mouth of Wil
low creek and came on to them in camp.
The boys fired on them at long range, and
Mr. Depew shot and crippled a squaw,
who fell, then Jumped up, picked op her
baby playing near tlie fire, and ran into
tlie willows along the creek. Part of our
crowd went down the creek and some to
the Indians’ camp, while others waited
on the hill to pick off the Indians as they
ran. I was looking after the horses, and
a comrade named Groehon asked me to
look after the animals in his charge, as
he saw a slwash in the brush. He then
crawled up land hid behind some grease
wood within twenty paces of the willows,
and bad not got settled in his position be
fore an Indian, about thirty yards away,
fired point-blank at my head. The ball,
or slug of Iron, shaved off a lock of hair
just above my right ear, and that member
has been, though perhaps ornamental, a
useless appendage ever since. Just as the
Indian let drive at me, Mr. Groehon fired
at him, and bis aim was good, for the
blood sported all over the brush. We
looked for him, but the Indian jumped
into a pool of water, dyeing it with his
blood, and disappeared.
We recaptured some of the bones and
next morning visited the Indiana’ camp,
burning all their outfit, but no savages
were visible to the naked eye. We then
went to Fort Henrietta, on the Umatilla
river, where now stands the town of Echo,
and thence to old Fort Walla Walla.
1 think it was April 15th, 1866, our
company was camped on the Walla Walla
river, when some seventeen of our boys
went to the neighborhood of Wild Hone
creek and found thirteen head of cattle,
two of which were very unruly bulls. We
killed the two bolls that evening, and the
same night a messenger came Into camp
and startled us by the announcement that
the commands under Col. Cornelius and
Col. James K. Kelly, then camped in the
forks of the Snake and Columbia rivers,
were in a starving condition—that if we
could send beef cattle to them to do so at
once. Capt. Cason ordered us to cast
lots and seven men were elected to drive
the eleven head of cattle to the starving
commands. The only way to reach them
was to swim the Snake river and drive the
cattle through the Indian country. On
the morning of April 16th a number of us
went down to the river, which was about
half a mile across and almost mush-ice,
where the Northern Pacific R. K. Co.’s
iron bridge now croasea at Ainsworth.
We started the cattle and the seven men
after them, and our brave captain and
I followed them. The captain and I
got across safely with the cattle, but the
other men landed on the side from which
they had started. We got on our horses
and started for the suffering commands.
Just imagine how cold the snow water of
Snake river is in April, and after swim
ming through a half mile of it to drive
a bunch of cattle twelve miles, with no
clothing but an undershirt and a pair ot
drawers, running our horses to keep up
with the cattle, the wind blowing chill
enough to freese the shirts on our backs
till they rattled Hke pasteboards—then
next morning to ride back and take the
same dose, in a spitting snow storm. But
we did it, as Cols. Jae. Kelley and T. R.
Cornelius, who still live, can testify.
That was the last time I ever saw Capt.
Hembrey. I warned him to be careful, as
ws had crossed a trail made apparently
by at least six hundred Indians, who had
just gone along towards the Columbia
river, about aix miles below the point
where the captain’s command were cross
ing ; and from their manoeuvres I thought
the Indian* intended to cut the men off
and capture their hones. As I had (eared,
the Indians caught him, and the gallant
captain waa immolated upon the altar
erected for the sacrifice of thousands of
other intrepid heroes who interposed their
lives to protect their families and save
this fair western land as a heritage to
their children and their cbrildren’e chil
dren forever.
Returning to my comm sad, I was de
tailed with twelve or fourteen of my com
panions-in-arms to convey Hamuel Price
(now a brother-in-law of Senator Mitchell
of Oregon), to The Dalles for medical
treatment, aa he was Buffering from the
mountain l ever. Reaching the John Day
river we found that stream very much
swollen, and having no means of cross
ing, we camped for the night. The rain
descended in torrents, and we bent wil
lows and spread our blankets over them
for protection from the storm. The en
suing morning we began construction of a
raft on which to convey the sick man to
the opposite side of the river, which was
deep, wide and swift aa a mill-tail. On
coming out of our impromptu tent a man
named Qeer caught his gun-lock on one
of the willow poles, and the weapon was
discharged, the ball striking him in the
left groin, and coming out at the hip. We
thus had two invalids on eur bands, and
our raft would not hold them. Seeing
that immediate action was necessary, Jeff
Miller and myself agreed to risk our
chances with the river and go to The
Dalles for assistance. Plunging into the
stream with our horses, after some diffi
culty *e were fortunate enough to make
the other side, and started rapidly to The
Dalles, some 60 miles distant.
We had gone but a abort distance, when
looking at a hill near na 1 obaerved some
tbing reaembling a bear or other wild
animal apparently aitting on ita bauncbea,
watching ua. With boyiab spirit, I told
Miller I waa gofng to acare the animal and
aae it run. We had no guna, being an*
able to awim the river with them; no I
rode toward the animal. (Jetting within
about fifty yards of the supposed bear, 1
noticed it dodge down behind the rock;
and, “smelling a mice,” as it were, I
turned my horse’s head in the opposite
direction and put cruel spurs into bis
flanks, just in time to hear wild yells
issuing from a half-score of dusky throats.
Sure enough, it was “Injuns,” and the
“animal” on top of the rock had been
fixen up as a decoy, which came very
nearly being successful. When I overtook
my companion our steeds were in a dead
run, and then began a race for life. Hav
ing no weapons, we depended entirely
upon the speed of our excellent horses,
and the Indians, recognizing the supe
riority of our animals, sought to cut us
off, but by dint of dodging into canyons
and over precipitous hills, we finally got
out of their reach. Arriving at The Dalles
without further incident, we endeavored
to pursuade different doctors to go to the
relief of our disabled comrades, but the
gentlemen refused to endanger their lives
by making the trip. Fortunately for tbs
sick men, a wagon train, guarded by
troops, passed in the vicinity of their
camp, and they were brought into The
Dalles, where, I am happy to state, they
both finally recovered.
In a few days our command was mus
tered out of service, thus ending my ex
perience as an active campaigner against
the wily red man.
These incidents, and those recorded in
my first paper a short time since, will be
recalled by many of my old comradse,
several of whom now reside in Yakima
county, and members of Multnomah
Camp No. 2, Indian War Veterans.

rr WAS A PLOT.
A lev Tcnfea sf u Airiest Sviwlliig Setae.
A stranger entered a well-known saloon
on Woodward avenue the other day while
areporter for the Detroit Free Prtm was in
the place, and after imbibing a weak
drink he said to the proprietor:
"I want to wait here a few minutes for
a man who borrowed some money from
me.”
"He was motioned to a chair, and when
an hour had passed away be was asked:
"Are you a stranger in the city 7”
"Yes, air.”
"Did you lend money to a stranger?”
"I did.”
"How much?”
"Forty dollars.”
"Hum! Under what circumstances?”
"Said he bad a freight bill to pay and
couldn’t get into the bank. He gave me
this check for S2OO to hold as security.
Said he’d meet me here at 11 o’clock.”
"My friend, you have' been bam
boozled.”
"No!”
"Yes, you have. This iaAhe old freight
bill dodge. That check is worthless, and
you’ll never see the man again.”
"But I can’t believe that. He looked
honest and talked straight.”
"So they do. Sorry for yon, but you
must read the papers.” •
"Say! I don’t pretend to be so awfully
smart, but I bet you that that chap was
honest.”
"You will! What’ll you bet?”
"Even twenty. I do honestly believe
he will oome here by 11 o’clock and pay
the money.”
The bet was taken, the money put op,
and the greenhorn sat down to wait. At
five minutes to 11 a man came in, handed
him S4O, expressed his thanks, and took
the check and placed it in his wallet.
"I told you be was honest,” said the
greenhorn, as be reached for the stakes.
They were handed over, but half an
boor later, after much serious thought,
the bartender suddenly slapped his legs
and exclaimed:
“I see through it now. They were pals,
of coarse.”
HOV JOCKEYS TRAIN.
The Werh They Undergo In Knocking
Den Their Weight.
A Jscht Who CraM Nst dims In an
■nfSHani Macs sn Accsnnt
of Eating Dinner.
New York Run: Of the thousands of
racegoers who wildly applaud a successful
Jockey after a brilliant piece of work in
the saddle there are very few who under
stand, or, understanding, realise fully the
great privation and self-denial a success
ful Jockey of the middle-weight class
most practice in order to keep at the
weight which will secure for him the
greatest amount of patronage. This bat
tle of the flesh is incessant and lasts for
almost eight months of every year, and
those who imagine that men like Mc-
Laughlin, Fitzpatrick, Hayward, Mur
phy and Garriaon do not earn their money
should try reducing their natural weight
from twenty to thirty pounds, and keeping
it there for a period of six months or so.
James McLaughlin, who is now about
through riding, this being his last season
in the saddle, and who does not ride less
than 125 pounds at present, has had a
greater atruggle than any of the other
Jockeys, during late years. When in the
employ of tlie Dwyer Brothers, in whose
red and blue colors lie achieved bis great
est triumphs, he was under contract to
ride at 112 pounds, and frequently got
down aa low as 110. This be did not find
a very hard task until he had reached bis
majority, when, as bis frame grew larger
and heavier, he was compelled to train
down finer and get rid of a corresponding
amount of adipose tissue. Year by year
his labors became more and more severe,
until bis pinched face and sunken eyes
were sufficient to excite the compassion
of even those who did not know of the
Bufferings he was enduring. Last winter
nature added a few more pounds of bone
to McLaughlin’s frame, and last spring
when he had been reducing he found that
all his old time tactics were of no avail.
He could not reach the 114 pounds he bad
contracted to ride at for the Chicago
stable, and realizing that he would never
be able to get below 125 pounds again and
be strong, be determined to eschew riding
and follow in the footsteps of Matt Byrnes,
Charity Littlefield, Jimmy Rowe, Billy
Lakeland, Frank McCabe and other old
timers, and when Mr. Pierre Lorillard
approached him with a view of obtaining
his services as trainer and overseer in
general ef the horse department at Ran
cocas, the prince of Jockeys and one of
the most popular and trustworthy riders
that ever sported silk or pressed the sides
of a thoroughbred in America, accepted,
and next year he will be found behind
the cherry and black oouncelling George
Taylor, who will be first jockey for and
patron of Tuxedo.
Gentlemen and ladies in every walk of
life are troubled by the dread and burden
of adipose, and one often hears the query:
"How shall I reduce my weight?” Ma
trons sigh for the waist of their girlhood,
and the man of middle age would give a
good deal if he could run upstairs without
becoming very warm and out of breath.
They know that the kind of food they eat
and the drinking they do are not con
ducive to leanness, and there are few
who have not tried at least one remedy
for their bugaboo. Listen to the way
McLaughlin trained when riding daily.
The Jockey who is under engagement for
the balance of the season to ride for Mr.
J. B. Haggin was seen at Gravesend
Thursday.
When asked bow lie kept himself at
weight, McLaughlin, whose face is now
round and ruddy, and whose eyes have
the snap and brilliancy that go with
health, replied:
"Ob, by the hardest kind of work—
plenty of running and very little to eat
and drink. It was my custom to rise
very early in the morning, pot on the
heaviest suit of underclothing and top
clothing, including sweaters and great
coats, that I possessed and run from five
to seven miles at a brisk gait On my
return to the quarters, reeking with per
spiration, my valet bad a bath ready for
me. I was rubbed dry and weighed. If
I scaled what I should, all well and good,
but II not, I had to pot on dry clothes
and do it all over again. You will read
ily understand what child’s play this is
on a hot summer morning.
"Sometimes Fitzpatrick and 1 ran to
gether and that made our work easier.
As I had to ride in the afternoon, break
fast, in the word, was out of the question,
that meal usually consisting of a piece of
dry toast, washed down by strong tea or
water. When my last race for the day
bad been ridden I loot no time in getting
to the supper table. This is the only
substantial meal a jockey can partake of,
and those who talk about large appetites
should see a crowd of hungry jockeys at
tlieir evening meal. It might be said
that I lived upon one meal a day, and
ray experience is only that of others.
I have frequently gained seven pounds
in a day, and the next morning found me
at work getting it off in order to be at
weight.”
"How about drinking? It has been
said frequently that jockeys, as a role,
drink a great deal of champagne and
other wines to sustain their strength.”
"I can only speak for myself. Water
was always my training beverage. I
should think that wines would produce
fat.”
Hayward. who in the father of the
brigade, having seen more yean of ser
vice in the saddle than any other rider in
this country, is riding at a lower weight
this season than for five or six years past
He can by pressure bring himself down
to 110 pounds. His son, William, is a
likely boy, who bide (air to become as
successful as his father in his chosen pro
fession. Hayward the elder, was sitting
in the grand stand one day, having par
taken of a good, solid meal. Hla em
ployer, Mr. A. J. Cassatt, bad hot one
candidate, Madatooe, in the day’s events,
and as hie weight was 122 pounds, Wil
liam felt that a good meal would bring
him to a point where precious Ultte lead
would have to be used, and beside that
bis inner man would (eel much better
with his appetite satisfied, when a young
man pushed up and breathlessly said:
“I’ll give you S6O if you will ride Badge
in the next race.'*
“What’s the weight?’* said the Jockey.
“One hundred and sixteen pounds,**
was the reply.
“I couldn’t get anywhere near it; you
are too late,*’ was the reply of the man
who could have scaled 118 easily an hour
«- -»
dc lore.
Billy Donohue and George Taylor are
perhaps the best adapted by nature for
the walk in life they follow. Nature in
tended that they should be Jockeys.
Taylor couldn’t gel fat if he tried. He
never has to train, and can ride at 101 or
102 pounds. Donohue can do likewise
with little or no inconvenience.

EUensburgh Reguter. Two of EUena
burgh's “Four Hundred," who were out
celebrating the admission of the Mate
Monday night and who had tarried long
at the shrine of Bacchoa, wound up in
front of the Horton in the early hours of
the morning. They were tired and
weary, and after a few minutes of heated
debate as to the number of muons that
were just then occupying the starry firma
ment, they loving embraced and laid
down on the sidewalk. “Leah bav an
noser drink,” said one of the gallant but
somewhat disfigured society leaders. “Mo
shir,” said the other, with righteous in
dignation, at he made another effort to
crawl under the sidewalk, “I've (hie) got
a reputashun (hie) at stake; 1 wash (hie)
never drunk ic my life (hie).” The future
statesmen then smiled sweetly on each
other, grssped frantically at a passing
zephyr, arose to their feet, and wandered
homeward, the wind playing Joyfully
with their tangled locks.

New York filar: It seems that as a
general thing women abuse their eyes
unmercifully. They read the finest typed
books, wear dotted veils, read in bed, at
twilight, and on the ears when In motion.
Nothing can be more Injurious, or mote
quickly spoil the brightness or beauty of
the eyes, to say nothing of making one
an early victim to glasses. Tired eyes
need no treatment beyond a bath of tepid
water gently applied—never, never rub
in. Avoid reading by any light that does
not fall across the shoulder, and avoid
either a very bright light or a very dull
light. Toe laabes may be very slightly
clipped, semi-occaaionally; the brows
made luxuriant by vigorous brushing in
the opposite direction two or three times
a day with the finger.
the caieoi one's feet It ft mott important
one, for the largest poree of the body are
located on the tolet of these Important
members. and for thia reason the feet
should be frequently and thoroughly
washed and the stockings changed. Aside
from the annoyance canted to others by
the pretence of a person whose feet are
not as daintily cared for at their face and
hands, the nnrlttnnsts it a cause of dis
ease through the-absorbent ability of the
large ports. The nails should be care
fully and squarely cut, and if one has a
predisposition to blisters of the feet from
ranch walking they may be prevented by
anointing with glycerine after bathing.
Don't wear tight shoes if yon want your
feet to look well and feel well, and never
wear a short shoe. It does not make
your feet look an atom smaller, and does
give great pain, and ultimately bunions.
111-fitting shoes produce corns, and, when
they begin to grow, good-bye to comfort
or long walks. Temporary relief for a
a painful corn may be obtained by apply
ing strong carbolic ackl. It la said that
half a lemon bound on a corn at night
will soon kill it.
Another topic that is as delicate in itself
as It is disgusting to others Is tbs horrors
of so impure breath, and, strangely
enough, the victims of It know more of it
than the subjects. If decayed teeth be
the cause they should be instantly re
moved, if possible. If from catarrh or

in check by diluting s little bromo-chlor

Two men waited rapidly down Wall
•treat yesterday afternoon, aaya a New
York letter to the Philadelphia Prtu, and
entered one of the prominent hanking in*
•titutions. They were atuidy, heavy set
men. Both kept their eyes roaming from
aide to aide. I followed them into the
bank. The man with the satchel sat
down and dropped the bag on the floor.
The other went to the receiving teller’s
incloeore, reached down in hia breast
pocket and extracted a package of
bills. These were hastily counted, and
the strangers left. The teller Jammed the
bills into an envelope, sealed it and
pitched It into the safe, afterwards dosing
the door in a perfunctory manner. The
entire transaction occupied leas than two
minutes. Then the teller turned to me
and said:
“How much do yon think was in that
package?”
“Why, about $600.”
“Yes, and a little more. It contained
one million, four hundred and forty odd
thousand.”
"Yea,” he said, showing his memor*
anda. “You see, ft’s nearly all in SIO,OOO
bills. There is not great danger in carry
ing notes of that denomination, because,
except here in Mew York, they are so
seldom used that suspicion would at once
be directed toward anyone who attempted
to negotiate them.”
One thing still pussled me.
“What did the messenger have in his
satchel?”
“Nothing but a half-brick. The satchel
is carried as a blind to throw any posaible
thief off the track.”

On a small plot of ground enough fruit
can be grown, if proper care is given, to
supply a family of ordinary sise three
times a day tlie year through. lam
aware that this statement may seem a
rather broad one, but those who have a
“little garden, well tilled,” will bear me
out in the assertion. It is surprising to
those who have had no experience in this
line to find out how much can be grown
on a very small piece of ground, if proper
attention is given. It does not require
such an amount as one often imagines it
must, because the regular use of it on the
table hat a tendency to provent as great
indulgence in it as would naturally be the
case were it used only as a delicacy
brought out on extra occasions. By all
means set out plenty of small fruit. Have
a row of currants, a bed of strawberries,
raspberries along the fence, and grapes
wherever a support can be arranged for
them. If you have never tried your hand
at small fruit culture, make up your mind
to experiment in it, and the chances are,
if you take care of the “venture” with
which you start out, you will be so well
pleased with your success that in a year
or two you will “branch out” until you
have all the fruit your family requires.
It is Just as easy to can for a garden of
this kind as It is to properly cultivate a
field of oorn.- Vielf t Magaxint.
