Camr ov Tum Fiera Cayaunt, ox Toxaus River, July 17, 1877.—Tho Big Horn exploring party broke camp on Clear Creek the morning of the 10th tnat., and passing through a de- Ughtiul valley, a distance of twenty-two miles, arrived at tho two Pinys, both tributarics of Cicar Creek. On the frat reached,or Little Piny, was formorly FORT PHIL KRARNRY, tnd stil the charred and blackened ruins. The fort was beautifully situated between tho 4wo forks of tho streams onan elevated knoll. Lhe sltuation was not well chosen, as afew hundred yards northward was a much higher elevation, which in the bands of anenemy would have completely commanded the Interior of the fort, All that ts now left of the fort proper fa remnants of the stockade, that waa appar: ently formed of logs about a foot in diameter, placed endwise about the Inclosure, and which ‘were cut or pierced for loop-hotes, which bad o downward tendency, aud wero In width only suMictent forarific, Asewhundred yards above the fort was the brickyard and a sawmill, rem- vauts of which are et{ll strewn over tho ad- Jacent country, Cogwheels and gearing from tho sawinlll, anda pile of brick of good quality, numbering perlaps 100,000, still remain at tho yard. There are also strewn about the ruins of the fort the broken and burned stoves andfron furniture. All these things remaining are of course indestructable, as everything the de- struction of which ¢avage ingenulty could sug- gest Las been ruimed. Across the Little Piny, perhaps 900 yards from the fort, Ia the cemetery where were interred the remains of tho gallant victims of savage ferocity who perished, not at the fort, 08 is some- Umes erronconsly supposed, but four milles further north, across the Bis Piny. Thts cemetery was substantially inclosed by a picket fenvo, and Is in extent perhaps onc-fourth ef an acre.” The soldier dead wero buricd In a trench about thirty feet tong, Judging by the monu- ments. At the head is, or rather was, a monu- ment of masoury, at one timo cyidently of some pretensions. Undoubtedly this monument was at the timo tnacribed, but it has long since been dofaced, and tha monument almost leveled to the ground. The picket fence has boon torn away and burned. Beattered about within the Jnclosure are perhaps a dozen graves. They are ‘unmarked, but I think them tho grayes of tit{- xen or soldfers sinco perished.

I must say that I foutid the “others” play their part with great alacrity, espocially as it required no effort, mental or physical, to ens- ble them todo it. Well, the grievance in quea- tion was this: Acertain man named Benjamin —not a nice sort of man either to look at or have any dealings with—dwelleth in Conduit street, and thers aclleth Ulster coats, as some of your readers may be aware. }t appeare that Benjamin has put a placard to his window sct- ting forth that no order will be received from Atnericans without prepayment of a depuait. This was regarded by my friends as conveying a slur upon the whole body of their countrymen, aud pot without reason.

The Ow, a London paper, which, In its brict scarcer during the London season of 184, mado one of the greatest sensations ever known iv the English metropclis, has a curious history, It appeared for the first timo at one of Lady Palmerston’s famous “Saturday Evenings," uvery guest receiving a copy 8 few hours previ- ous tothe entertainment. The strictest eccrecy was maintafocd in regard to its origin and cou- tributors, and It was not untll tho eud of tho season that suspicions were entertained of tho real authors, though mauy well-known persons accepted the the imputation of cuntributlog to the Out who were as innocent of all convection with the paper asthe reat of tho world.
