THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE MONDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 187, PARIS. Heathen Chinee in a Difficulty with French Devils. The Approaching World's Fair..-A Na- tionat Hymn for France. @osslp of tho Thontres—Tho First Bals Masque at the Uperas Speetat Correspondence of The Tribune, pamt3, Feb. 1.—1 was not a Jittie surprised, on opening my Constitutionsl thia morning, to percelve o Jone article with the imposing head- fug, “La France ct la Chine.” Noturally my {mayglnation, already morbidly excited by a pre- vious perusal of the war-news, jumnped at onco to the conclusion that Parls had fallen out with Pekin npon some grave point of Atate, and 1 had begun to groan in spirit over the bare fiea of snother Oriental Question, My mind was quickly sct at rest Dby the articlo fteelf, however, 1 was delighted to find that there had not, as [ for 8 moment fancled, been any terrible masea- cre of intruding misefonarics, nor ndeed any alMeulty scrious cnough to call for the awful {ntervention of Cahinets, Mandarins, or Ambas- dors. There had, however, been o dificulty; and, though not lifted Into Importance by any tragle accompaniments, it was sufliciently cu- tlous to deserve mention, it only for the sake of showing you that civilization has not yet penetrated futo every corner of even the most. potished and courteous country fn the world. TWO LUCKLESS CHINAMEN, attired In the national costume, were lately stroliing down thestrects of o town ealled Baint- Chamond,—thinking, perhaps, of some artless Tekin malds, with smiles *childilke and bland " as thelr own,—when they were set upon fero- clously by on outer barbirinn of the mature ago of 12 ‘I'nls dangerous littio ruflian had certaln- Iy never traveled.

In " vain tho vietim explatned to lim that he had mistaken his hoir for a bel handle, The French devil knew better, and refused o bo deceived. Possibly o transtation of Bret Harto bad made him sispicious. At all events, ho contintied his maliclous onalnugm:‘, until Johne ny, plucking up couraze, attempted toretalinte, Secine the odds wero likely to give fnal vie- tory to the Ilcathen, a workman who was pass- fng by camo up and espoused the weaker but Tess righteoua cause, and in a few minutes the poor Culestials were hors de combat, flab “Tho ffalr was not to end hore, Law, In the person of o polfee-oflicer, intertered,—oe usual, when 1o tnora hard knocks wore to bo expeeted. ‘The workman was put upon his tria), and, o plaln case ol un- provoked and aggravated essault having been made out ngginst i, he was sentenced to three months’ durance vite, Hear now WIAT BAID THE CELESTIALS: “When you Frenchinen gothrough thostreats of Pekin, wo don't molest you, or sct upon you with deadly malice, beeause you are forelgners, We thougit Franco was & hospitable enunu{, where Chinamen could shiow themselyes with- vut hoyini to bivsh for tho sfcty of their dar- log phetalls, But we were mistaken.” Tho Conatitutionel takes thesa repronchiful words as o text for sume very sharp rebuke of the coward- Iy areresalon, and, maxing abject npoloey on behall of the French nation, bids Washec- Washce uive {taanother trial before pronouncing entire und lrrevoeable condemnation, And now let ushiope that, after this amende honoralle, the uufortunate story may uot et wind n Ching, and prevent thie noble children of that glorious land from fuvering us with thelr pres- enco ot the Exbibition; for, to judge from tho present mspect of tb\nul, Yaris will lnrdly be able to dispense with even Celestial potrons agre, §f the approaching show is to he a fluanclal as well as an jodustrial rod artistic success. ‘The framework of the mighty undertaking ts rapidly nearing completion, and, whcn all s ready, the sight will be A TRULY MARVELOUS ONE.

BozEMAN, Jan, 26.—White Callco, & seout and frolghter, brings informatlon of a tereiblo bat- tio with Indians, on O'Fallon's Creek, near the Yallowstone River, in which a party of whito men and two women had a perllous adventure, and would probably havae all been killed but for the thmely arrival of the troops’ from ‘Tongue River. It appears that Mr. Maxwell, with his wif daughter, aod four mon etarted from Mil City, with the intention of sottiing on the Little url, near where the old Htanley tral) cross- strcam. TIE INDIANS DISCOVERED. After they lad becn out scyeral days, and just as they weracrossing the O'Fallon Hills, Mra. Maxwal) descricd two objects anead which alis touk to bo antclopes, but which thealdof a fleld-glass showed to be Indlaus. Mr. Maxwell at once halted his party sud soun discoversd ho was In the vicinity of about forty lodges of hostile Indfans. The wagons were turaed back and the party retreated tewand O'Fallon Creek. The Indlans followed but did not attack, and Me. Maxwell, having reached the tiniber and water, sclocted a high poiut of land und went into camp. A ravine ran around three sides of the camp ond §t was naturally strong and casily dofended. 1t was almost dark when Mr. Max- well selected bis camp, aud the entire night was spont In fortifsing it. The blufls did wot run osc Lo the water or timber and the party had to tako position about 200 yards from water or wood. As good n supply as possible of both wrticles was faid in during the night, and the party waited anxiously for daylight and the battle thoy knew it would usher In. TUE OXEN CAPTURED, About 11 o'clock next day the Indians wero discoveted approaching, and thic slege hegan. The cattle were kopt as closg as posaible, hut in the cvenlng they hadto be watered, and whils this was belng dono, the Indinng dushed forward aud csptured the oxen. Mr. Maxwell lot them go aud Kept hia men hard at work on the fortifications, knowluyg be would soon have necd of all the protection e could ret. Aboup 11 o'clock at night the works were finlalied and the place made as strong as possible. The wagons formed ono alde, and logs, sacks filled with carth and sand, the other sldes. Caves were dug for the women and strong rifle-pits placed on three sides of the camp. WAITING FOIt THE BATTLE TO DEGIN. All night Jong the men beard cattlobellowlng, and they were driven np and around the fort, in tno lu:!m that the Mttle garrison would cumo out and attempt td capture them; but Mr, Max- weoll kept his men within tha fort. About mid- night ono of tha party cropt out of the works, and, avolding the Indians, started to Fort Keoch for hélp. The lttls garrison was now reduced to six _persons, aud conslsted of Mr, Maxwell, Mr, Bonton, George Darland, Jester Prudex, and the two women—Mrs. Maxwell and May, her daughter. THK PIGNT BRGINS. During tho nighit the men In the fort heard the Indlaus coming up tho ravine mounted, It was bright tnoonllght aud .they could he dis- tinetly seen, alting at theercek, thoy dismount- ed, tied their poules, and commenced craw! toward the fort. Mr, Maxwell told the men to keep very still and lat them couis on until he called out *“Firel" and then to work tho breech-londers hard aud steady. When the In- dians wero within lm{ yards of the fort the frontiersten began fisine, and belors the red- skins could got out of range killed two. Ono follow was wounded, and fell a0 near the fort thoy could sco and hear him. 1le called out to the mien In broken Englhh, “Holdoun, I am hit!1" and ¥ Don't shuot any more, 1 am a good Indlan!” Later in the nizht he called, * Come out and get me, I am wounded,” Maxwell roplicd, ™ Well, crawt in here, ten, and wo wiil look out for you.” #No, no, lev them coma aud carry me ofl.” No roply was [zlvun aned rmcuuy the follow rose up and sald, "llow. iow!

The steera were soon ficard lowing about tha camp, the wity red devlls thinking the white men would hélieve soing of the oxen had got A\rn{'.und coma back, Mr, Maxwell, however, kept hils men within tho fort, and the savages seclug alf thelr etforts to decoive or draw the little garrison out wore In vain, came on witn yeils and boldly charged the works. THE PIONTING, ‘They dashed at ench shie of tho fort fiving ot tha mien within, but the besleged kept still and let them eidw and hm;v% a8 much as they bl n ca th mind to. ‘Toward daylight the Indlans drow off, went _into the hilfs und comimenced throw- ine up sfznal Nghts, which wero answered from a distunce. *‘flioy argwending for help, boys,” sald Maxwell, “wid wo will soon have it kot and heavy, so rest while you can,’ I abuotit two hours [ndians were scen coming In from the south and Joinfng those on the hills, Very svon thoy cume down toward the fort, und soveral advencng called out, “liow, how!

It was now light aud the Indians made a steady ndvance, crawling throuch the grass and sheltering themsolves behind every little mound of carth. **Look at that_fcllow flattening him- self on the earth,” erlgd Maxwoll; “but [ can get him if he was as thin. as a pano of glass,” The firing now becane rabld and was kept up constantly for two hours. ‘The” Indians camo very near getting into the fort, but, tho scout snya, ** Maxwell and his men stood thelr ground 1Ko llons.”” * For threo hours,” saya Calleo, v notying could bo heard buc tho rour of the riflus, the yelling of the Indlsus, aud the cries of tho woien wighin the forul A TRUCE.

TIRK SECOND DAY'S DATTLE. During the remalnder of the day and all the following night the atuntion Temumed| un- changed, The Indians sat by thelr fires and every now and shen nade an fnetfectunl attomp to talk with tho men fn tho fort. On thy morn- ing of tha sccond day, which Mr, Calfce thinks was tho 18th of January, the Indlans rencwed the attack. ‘The litle band of white men wero surrounded on cvery sldu and the clargs was wost determtued, but after hulf an hour's ficht- fng the Indluns fll buck. ‘They next coms menced shouting with thelr bows and urrows, firing in the alr wo the arrows would drop with- in the fort.

Towurd upoun an Indian, who had been sitting smoking ou tho Lil, got up and walked down toward the fort. Ho continued to approach, desvite the butlets, untll withlu sixty yurds of thu breastwurks, when bo fell dead. W'he savage was vrobably a medicine mau, and thought the whites could hot it bim, or he muy probably bave been tired of livlog and took that opportunity to make an end ot himself. Fulling to accomplish aoything with thelr bows and arruws, the Indisns fell back and agaln vonnctled. They scemed to think thu ouly way wus to watch the fort und starve out tho gare rlsou, Clubbhlw closo to the works not u head could be rilsed or & baud exposod but it brought 8 dozen bullets from the grass. Oue Iudlan was observed creeping almost within the works when a shot from Maxwell lald biw out, *Fho snen saw anuther approach, lylug on s pouy, and fired, hittiug tho pouy fu the head and Jeav- fog the redskiu to scratblo off os best ho could. © A NEW DANURR The water wes gving out uod the mea be- cowlng thirsty, Tu wcet this uew dungera passage was dug under the breastworks and one of the party crawled out, sud, under cover, weut duwn and got water.
