Jones into tho Wind River country, and tho success ho bne mot with in finding a route for n stago-rond, and ultimately a railroad, from Bryan, on tho Union Paclfic Rond, to the Gallatin Valley, lng rovived tho mtorest in tho Northwost territory. It may or it may not bo known thai that country was my home for noarly threo years, and I por- baps know ns much about it a8 any one living. Jtisvery intorosting ; abounds in conl, iron, gold, game ; and THE TROUT-FISNING istho fincst in the United States. Well Iro- momber, one bright sunshiny morning, going, by advico of tho guide, to fish in tho North Fork of tho Big Poposgle. I was told the largest trout in the country were takon in that stronm, sud I found the report quito corrcot. On ar- riving at tho stroam, my companion, Capt. Rus- goll, wont up tho little rivern short distanco, . and had scarcely cast his lino when I heard Lim calling lustily for help, I ran up a8 fast as I could, not knowing what the matter whas, and found the Captain struggling with o monster trout. Itwns ovidont tho rod and line wero too wesk to land tho prizo, and go wo hnd to play him. I told the Captain to let out the reol, and away ho wont down stream, Whon the line bocamo tant, Russoll attompted to draw bim ; but, foaring ho would floundor and snap the throads, ho lot him run again, and followed down streani. I flanked him with & club, wading 1n on o shallow; but, whon Russell drow him, no goonor hiad ho snuffed tho cold air than ho made off liko mad, and ran out the wholo of the reol, Russoll being unable to follow on account of a clunp of bushea on the water's edgo, I halloood to him to jumpin; and In ho wont TP TO I8 ARM-PITS, Wo now had the trout “on his native heath," and Russell boldly wound bim up, I following woll in rear of tho line with tho club. I could #o0 his hoad, and his jaws looked like two open bande. Tho flsh showed signa of distress, and Russell proceaded to drown bim with all tho ekill of an Izak Walton. When quite limp, Russoll drow him out, oud wo found him 18%{ inches lxmg aud 9¢¢ in circumforence, being 8%¢ pounds in weight. o was tho liveliost trout I ovor saw, and cortainly largo cuough to muko the heart of thie dullest fishorman fluttor with delight, What would your Chicago sports- man give for & day's fishing on Popongie? Rus- goll and I, on the occasion which I montion, took, in throo hours' fishing, fifty-seyou trout, of all sgizes, from Russell's monster down to tho little G-inch follow, Returning to Camp Brown, wo visited tho grave-yard, and saw many inscriptions of Eost- ©ru numes, all but ono luving beon *'KILLED AY INDIANH.” Among others were : *“ Holt,” Company K., Bov- enth Unitod Statos Infantry, Killod. by Indians, Bept. 14, 1869, —from Kontucky, and said to bo a gon of Dr. Ifolt aud nephew of Gen, Josoph Holt, United Stutes Army; *“Skinner,” killed Ly Indians, Bopt. 14, 1869,—from Ohia; * Sam,” kitled by Indians, Scpt. 14, 1869,—from O “ Cogurn,” killed by Indians, Sopt. 14, 18 from Ohio. At Brown we saw A WILD HORSE which had a history wortl relating, Somo yonrs ago the Cbeyeune Indinns stolo him in Kausas, and sold him to the Utes, who, in turn, sold him to the Sioux, from which tribe he was bought or stolen by tho Bnake Indians, and brought to the Vslley of tho L'oBou gio, Horo ha escaped, and, for a long timoe, baflled all offorts to recapture Liim. At longth ho was caught, aud gold toa Mr, Galishor; but, while being taken to the sottle- ments, ho broke a stroug ohain, aud got away iuto tho mountaine. In time ho re-appesred on s old stamping-ground, and again tho Indiany laid plans to tako him. 1l was to flcct Lie could outrun their best horses, and no number of them could run him down. When surrounded or cornered, he bit, kicked, and fought so flercoly it wns jmpossible to hold him. One dany he was surprised in a cauon by » body of warriors, and lassoed beforo ho could get out, Securely tied with ropes, ho was brought to tho Indian camp, and starved, beaten, and choked Inzosewi-obedience. An am- bitious Indian attempted to ride him, and away bo went to the hills, Lato at night the Indinn returned to camp, soro and tired, but without the lioreo; ho Lind been thrown, and the animal 'was ouce wore at large. o was ofton seon after this, but defled all attempts to take him. Ono afternoon, un Indian who was out fishing saw tho wild Liorse grazing under o bluff, and, tying & large stono to his lariat, hoerawled to the edge of tho rocks and throw the nooso with an unorr- ing procision. Tho horse draggod tho rock for somo distanco, but, choked by tho thong, ho stoggered, foll'to_tiio plain, and was ouco nioro boud iard oud fost. Lo Indisus now tied bim wil A LOG-CUALY to & troo, but even this he managed to break and fed to the hiils. Ho was not geon fors long time; but, soon ster tho foundiug of Camp DBrown, a sentinel reported & horso on the bluily, and, on_examin- ing the animal through o glass, it was found to bo tho famous wild horso. - On attempting to ap- S)xpnch bim, bo fled like tho wind into the moun- ains ; but next day was again seen perched on tho bluff, quiotly looking down at the camp, Tho commanding ofticer ordored him not to bo disturbed, and next day put some mules on the biufl to groze, o camo down aud rommined with chem all day, but retired at night into the mountaing, Tho next day bo came down to tho cuvalry-lord on the plain, but seemed greatly oxcited, and kopt running about noarl i day, The communding officor directod thut no one should pursuc bhim a8 long 28 he kopt in motion, and, by gontle alarms, ho was made to gallop in wido cir- clos about tho lhord, but, as if charined, would coustautly roturn to it. Lato in tho aftornoon, partios of cavalry, mon on mules, and a compauy of infantry wore sent quietly out of the fort, and occupied tho passes and Dhill-tops for miles, It was known he would breuk through any small circlo, and 50 un immenso ouo way formed to REN HIM DOWN, T'ho pursuing party wore twonty-soven in num- ber, aud stationod at long distunces, No two woro to pursue the horse at once, nnless » sig- nal for all ;o eloso in was given. The chuge bo- fiflfl. and, ag s tho custom of animals when ard pressed, tho horso ran neatly in o circlo, Tho trap hnd boen lllly Iad, wow pussors constantly lkeopiug him at Wiy mottle, whilo the old ones dropped out to vceupy thoir stations in the great ring. ‘The rapidity and longth of timo which ke ran woro ineredible. The log-chaiu he had on whon Lo mado his last escape from the Indinus was still about his neck, and thoond of it throshed his foro logs until the hair, und even the skin, was beaton off and the blood ran down, On he went like the wind, sbaking off cavalryman aftor cavalryman, and oponing wide gaps botweon him and his pursuors, - It wus gotting noar dark, and still the wild chase continued, tho horso showing no groat signs of distress, As his astoniuhing powers becsme moro and moro ovidont, tho de- siro to capturo him incronsod, and BIOUTH OF ADMINATION went up from the littlo group of ofileors gathored on the look-out at the fore whenever he dis- tanced his pursuers, At length tho signal to closo in waa given, and thin bogun the seramble, Men mountad on horsen aud mules, and on foot, moved forward, and tho circle grmlunll{ lessenaed, until o wall of buman flosh bound i the noble Liorso on every sido, Round and round the circle ho wont, hia noatrils distonded snd hig oyos flushing fire, Now n bayonot wae lovelod ot hig brasst; tho next inutant o cavalryman thrust at him with o sabra; and the next s larlat whirrod by his oars, causiug him ta oxhibit the greatest torvor. Al last, making o tremendeong ebargo, ho broko tue 1 lino and attompted to rench tho bills, For a time ho_kept ahead of his pursuors, and tho cnvalry horeos, ono by ono, dropped behind; but tho mules shiowed their puperior toughness, and cloacd on him. Ono old saddle-mulg, who had bocome oxcited in tho chaso, kept oloso up, with tail orect, and flually hendod him. As tho horso swung round, nud turued onco moro toward tha fort, tho air rang with buzzas, for now his capturo roomod almost cortaln. Tho old mule, with surprising spoed and boltom, liept close to tho horse’s flanks, and the horde who lind boon following in iho wake of the chinso parted right aud “loft o lot tho horso lhrmllzh, and, when in the midst of thom, thoy closad nround Lim o thickly that ho wheolod and plunged in ovory diroction, A tenmstor soizod hold of the end of tho chain, and tho noxt instant s ropo was over tho wild cronturo’s neai. Btill ho strugglod for his liborty, but many hands soon bound him, aud ho FELL PROBTHATE UPON THE PLAIN. I'mo_chuin about his noek bind cut deop into the flosl, and the end that hung down had throshod tho skin nod flosh to tho bono off the paor bruto's foro-loge. Ho was of mo- dium sizo, davk brown in color, deop-chestod, and with wido nostrils, IIis oyo was bright and plorcing, and Lfa limbs_xhiort, stout, and” full of nuselo, On his shoulders and hams the musclos woro gathored in knots as large ns ouc's laud; tho skin was very thin, aud tlio voins underneath stood out liko whip-cords, As tho horso had_beon eaptured by crerybody, tho commanding oflicor ordaroed thnt ho should bo put up at n vaflle, and ench claimant bo given ong chanco. This was universnlly_satiatactory, and, at tho drawing, ILieut., Larrihoo, of Cn;.t. Phistorer’s company, SBuvanth United States In- fantry, won tho prizo, When I aaw him ho was quita gentlo, nud would allow you to pat his sidon, and ovon to mount upon his back. It was enid ho could trot as fast as an ordinary horse conld tun, and, whon being enught, ho was timed be- twoon two tracs, aund, tho distance aftorwards bolug monsurad, it was fonnd ho hed run a milo in 1 minute and 46 scconds. Riding over tho hills, 6 miles from tho fort, WO came upon. AN INDIAN DATTLE-GROUND, It was hioro Liout. Stambuugh fought the Bioux for tha xiosscaslou of the Wind River coumry. oaring that tho white troops had como in to rotoct the Bnnke Indians and ocoupy the val- ng Rod Cloud sent 400 warrioss, undor tho Chlot Little Bix, to see about it, aud attack both the whitos sud the Bnakos. ‘Dlvll]lni: hig party, Littlo Bix moved down the Wind River and Into tho Popongios. Qiving out that they woro friondly Indians on their woy to tho whito camp, thoy succoeded in killing five white mon and stonling o groat donl of stock before thoir roal charactor was found out. Approaching the hay-flold below the fort, whoroa Sergeant was at work with somo_soldlors cuttin grAsS, thoy called out *“ Good Indians!™ * How do?"—Dbut tho old Snrfiunnt warnod them off, and began his rotront to tho fort, calling back to them, ‘* We will seo all good Indians ‘8b_tho fort, nol hore,” Tho savagos allowed the prudont old goldior fo rotire, and Lio camo into_tho works unmolested, brlug(ng with him all his mon, tonms, mulos, snd oxon. The Indisns thon’ camo up quito closo to the fort, still claiming to bo friondly ; but thoy woro balted, and Liout, Stsmbnugly, with twonty cavalrymen, woent out to parley with them. Asho approached, they rotired to the hillg, and, whon he followed them, they wont farthor, calling out, * Qood Indisnl heap! Como on ond see Ohiof over tho hilll" Not doubting but they wero really friendly Bualies, Liout. S8tambaugh went on, oxpecting to find thoir Ghiof over tho hills ; but tho oflicors nt the fort, sugpecting treachory, sont out all tho cavalry and somo citizons to reinforeo the brave Licutenant, The wholo party disappear- ed behing the hills, and nothing more was hoard of them for somo two hours aud & half, whon, near dark, two wounded soldiora cante in, and brought the stattlivg intelligenco that A DATTLE NAD BEEN FOUGHT, and that Lieut. Stambaugh was complotely vie- torious, Iloave the gallant Licutouant to tell tho rest of tho story in his own words : ‘¢ No soonor wore wo ovor tho hills and out of slfllt of the fort, than I bocame suspicious that all waa not right; but still I kept on, for I was not afraid “of thom, my soldiets beoing old Indinu-fightors, ' aud remlly 1noro anxious that the rod-sking we wero following should turn out to bo hostilo than friendly. I confess I shared their foelings; 80 w0 jogged on, not coring what the upshot of tho nfiair might’be. When in n canon, tho party wo wero following wore suddenly reinforced by over 100 warriors in paint and fenthers, and then wo all know a battlo wus to be fought. T'hero wae & round, high Lill about balf & wile to tho loft aud botweon us, and the possossion of this hill immedistely beeasme of the frst im- ortance, for, in casting my oye over tho coun- vy, I sy it Was o strong; position, The Indians Hoomed ‘also to recognizn tho military importauco of tho place, and mudo for it. Lho raco way lively and oxciting, but WE REACHED THE NILL FIRST, and dismounted. The firing Liad already bogun, and tho Indians prepared to charge the hill, Putting oy horses under cover, with a fow men to hold them, wo bastily piled up some rocks around the top of tho knoll, and Ilny down behind them. Tho Indinns came on, but tho short guus gallantly ropelled thom. They then dismounted and advancod on foot, taking ndvantago of every tuft of grass, rock, and ravine, to shield them- solves frow our fire, It was ineredible how they conld bide and crawl up, and our position was soon kot enough. Not a hand or & head could be exposed for nn instant above our rude fort, but a dozon bullets were hurled at it. Private Titzgerald and suother soldior nesr me, whilo roising up to firo, were both shot,— tho former in the "wrist and tho latter in tho stomnch, Shultz, o citizon, slso got a ball in_tho leg; and tho Sergeant and an infantr; soldior were wounded a momont aftorward, could not wholly shelter my horses, for the In- dians wore 1l around the bill, and soventeen of tho poor animals were shot, eight of thom boin, killed outright. Beoing tho Indians were mug stronger than I had supposed, I determined to send Liout. Dinwiddio back to the fort, with a strong detachment, for wssistance, The Liou- tonaut charged, killing one Indian and \vnuudlnfi several; but, fearing he could not got throu without great loss, I orderod him back, aud de- tormined to fight it out alone. Thoro was 8 ro- vine iu the hill, full of Indians, who annoyed us reatly with their sharp-shootors; and I sent iout. Diuwiddio to drivo thom ont, - Ilo accom- plished this work gnllantly, and fortunately KILLED THE INDIAN OWIEY, Little Bix. The fighting did not amount to much after the fall of thoir Chief, and in about ant hour the Indians rotived. I romained on tho hill until it was quite dark, and then refurned unmolested to tho fort, Lheso Indinus wore all Bioux, and wore sent by Red Olond, under one of his'best fighting Chiefs, Little SiX.” Buch is ouo of the thousaud stories told of overy vnllu? on tho Plains.

Willlam R, Alger delivered his loo- turo on ** Chivalry " lnst evening to n fair audi- onco at Kingsbury Musio Iall, The threaton- ing stato of tho weathor undoubtedly proventod a largo nimber from attonding who would oth- orwite have been nmong the most attentive and intorosted listoners. It would be impossiblo, without reproducing tho lecturo in full, to givo any ndequate improsslon of its oharactor. Not ouly wns the matter most vividly intoresting, but the mannor of delivery in quito indescribablo. Mr. Alger stood boforo & small (able, on which rosted his manuscript, aud, though uslng gosturos freely, was 80 vory quiot and ongy as to romovo the ap- penranco of any attempt at oratory as commonly understood, and yot no ono could havo given a more truly oloquent and impassioned sddress thav his, THE DEAUTY OF THE LECTURE was tho richness of imngery aud metaphor, and tho aptnoss of illusiratton. Tho nudionco noomed oithor chillod by tho cold or repreasod by the iden that applauée on BSundsy was not wholly propor, for only when tho locturer ronchied & olimax which earried them into a stato of enthusinsm in spite of thomsclves did thoy vonturo upon an oxpression of thoir appreoiation of his efforts. It is cortainly to Lo hoped that Mr. Alger will deliver this samo lecturo sgoin shortly undor moro favorable auspices of wenthor, when he will loarn that all Chicngo audionces aro not 80 cold and unsympathetic ne thio onoJast night. It is impossible to give more than a bore outline of the locture, & largo por- tion of which consisted of pointed illuatrations of tho propositions advancod. 3N, ALGER BAID that Chivalry might bo analyzed into sovon car- dinal prnciples, each of which bore comple- mentary rolations to all the others. They wore, firat, Cournge. This quality wos regarded as tho primary virtuo, without which tho othors would mecessarily be inoporntive. It must be progont in tho knightly soul in al places, evon of the greatest danger, and, in fact, muet never dosort him whilo life romained. Though shown moro conspicuously pernaps in tho Chivalric nges, examplos of tho highest or- dor woro not lacking at the presont day. As when a Colonel in our late war, after losing thir~ tcon horses undor him, and. receiving torrible wounds, rode forward to the final chargo, presa- ing baok his lungs with his loft hand, whilo with tha right ho waved the ordor to sdvance, which his lips refused to speak, Tho socond peculiarity of foudal chivalry was A BORUPULOUS BENSE OF MONOR. ‘Tho gonuine son of chivalry was incapable of basencss or solfishness. The annals of knight- bood sparkle all throngh with incidents {llns- trative of thia fact. The claim on its presont devotee is that Lo should carry into his daily walks of Jifo the spirit of Jmm unsullied honor, and kcorn to soil bis hands and dobasa his soul with questionable gains. The noxt charactoristio was friendship. The Knights woie sworn nover to turn thoir backs upou a fos, nor forsake n friend in neod. Who in thoso dogonersto dnys but haa folt n Tack of the fine commuvion of mauly nature amid tho rush of socicty for power and woalth ? But porhaps Chivalry was a8 distinguished for its spirit of meroy a8 for any other quality. ate lives not whoro the gontlor passions live. Whon on antagonist was dismounted it was diflicult to Kill bim, owing to the mass of armor; honco a thin-bladed weapon was mado which was calied THE DAGGER OF MENOY. Its name was duo probably to two roasons, sinco it mado doath more merciful than it had beon when the battlo-ax was used, and also, if tho vanquished Knight made s sign oven for moroy, the dnfignr must be roturned to ite shenth, and his life spared. Biill another eloment was disintercatednoss, or self-sacrifica. Tho devotee was ready to dare uvnrfithing roject onso, court hardship, and to bo tho solf-donying and Isborious sorvant of tho Belpleus ond sufforing. Has this trait Lacomo extingt in our time? Ah! the Recording Angel could, if he would, give tho names of thousands of Sistors of Charity and Brothors of Mercy at thoe present day, who, in various pursuits and flolds of labor, from tho cotton- faotory to tho Benate Chamber, aro wortby of the Llighest praise for unsolfish devotion to human neods and nuflnrinF. How many of our nurtos and physiciaus, with quite as much heroism as - TIHE KNIGHTS OF OLD, though with_ loss dlnplnfl and ostontation, have gono,atthe rivk of their lives, into districts given up to famine, war, and infectious diseaso ? Hosw brightly did this chivalric spirit show forth in tho Indian Revolt, in the case of Sir James Outram, who, at tho rolief of Luck- now, rofused to toke from the mnoblo Havelock the honor of the action, but,’ sorviny a8 o voluntnor uuder his inferfor in rank, lo tho chargo against tho enemy, and, sprinklin with his blood tho laurols of his rival, addo theroby to their brlfihtncuu and undying glory. Still auother quality of chivalry to which the EKuight was pledged was that of LOYALTY OR OBEDIENCE. . Tho fertilizing and_ oleotric gorm of this trait arose in the foudal reistions of sorf to lord, squira to Knight, and Knight to King. Suroly this is o tralt which will ever bo praised. An oxample of tho rigid adhorenco to the law of obedienco was shown in the case of a young XKnight of St. John. A mon- stor had beon ravaging the country for milea around, and had wounded or killod every Kutght who had attacked him The Grand’ Master, thorefore, ordered that no Knight should en- deavor to kill tho beanst, loat furthor fatal re- sults should ensuo to tho brothorhood, The flouug Knight, having scerotly trained himsolf, is horso and dogy, flually attacked the dragon, and, aftor a long and bloody fl(i.ht. succoeded in alaying him, The people gatherod abont the Knight with cheora_and praises, and lod him back to tho Grand Master, whore, in stato, the Inttor was sitting, Having hLeard his tale, tho Grand Mastor told bim that obedienco was tho first yow taken, and that, baving violated this law, he must bo DISAIMED AND DANISILED forover from tho soviety of true Knights. As the young victor Inid off his Knightly arms and dress and turned sorrowfully to leavo the hall, the Graud Master caught him in his arme an restored him to fellowslup, as by his ready and implicit obedionco thon, whon flushed with pride and victory, ho had shown that ho had con- quorod himsolf. THE LABT ELEMENT +was that of champlonship. The Knight was tho champlon of tho weak and oppressed. Ofton when o cruol tyrant bad hoped, in thoe trial by combat, to gain & victory In default of any opponent, ho had beon surprised by tho apparition at _the other end of the lists of some good Knight, armed ca) )—n-nlu, oharging against him, a8 in tho caso of lvauhoo when appearing for Rebecea. Over thoso Heven olomonts of chivalry, the Ohrlstian eloment presided. It was, in fact, the prodominating of all influonces in molding the charactor of the knight, The clarion notes of advonture aud glory grow falnt as they fall ovor cloister and grave. A ourlous proof of tho mixture of CUIVALTY AND ORISTIANITY is shown in the chroniclos of Valladolid, where, in a tournamont, the King and ' twelve Knights took the parts of Chrlst and hiu Apostlos nnd * did good things in that ro- gard,” As the anclent chivalry arose from combluation of Chrintianity and tho profession of urmm, #o the modorn chivalry Is & union of Ohrietinnity and commou-senso, working to- other in our professionnl, business, and soclal ite.

When ‘Woster saw tho officer approaching, ho took to his heols, and mado tall spoed towards Polk stroot. Tho officor came up with him, and was about to Iay his hnnd upon tho fugitive, when tho lattor turned upon him and struck him in tho faco.

When tho officer en- tored the room Woster shook his fist at him, and modo somo throatening remark.
