(on the Edge of the Bad Lands and Closeto the Scene of Hostilites), Dec. 8.—[By Typewriter to Tue Ber]—There are plenty of Indians in sight yet, and three more houses have been gutted and everything packed off. There isa rumor afloat to the effect thata numbver of men wearing biue clothes: followed by a waggeon load of guns; about three milds to the reer, were seen going Into the Hills west of Hermosa, after Indians, This must bea misstako, as the Indians are raiding the ‘Ranchers 24 milds cast of Hermosa. Later advices however, would seem to confirm the rumor, as the government has concluded to move its basoto _the Biz Horn Mountains as the close proximity to the Indians renders opperations extreamly daingerous. From the mnew base however, things will be differant, and threo powerful columns will be fitted out in the Horn, and placed under the immediate _&mmnndo experienced HORNERS, One ill march rapidiy to Newk YORK, by way of Sanfrisco, & another will cross ‘in to Canida, & make its way to Buffalo, where it will cross and unite with the New York Army, thus placing a poweriull force in the immediate reer of the foo with the utmost safety, meanwhile the third; or center colmn is to tear straight down, & Horn Hell out of everything. The causes that have led to this remariable change are sunposed to be as follows: 1st, Itis said that Gen, Miles has sworen to kill an Indian unless they give up their .pops & stop their damphoolishniss. & in view of the grate calamity that would befall the nation. in case Mile out bis diabolical threat, the change was necessary. 2nd, While the Army is getting on & off new base, the Indians vy themselves with provisions ng, from tho ranches bordering the R ations, while their stock allveady, on the Reservations will furnish them meat & Horses, In this caso there will beno Indians at Agentcies to get rations, & the Agents can draw thomd. 1 3rd, The Government is well informed of tho fact that last year we raised nut vary lit- tlo crop, & this year none at all; & that wo have been compelled to mortgage our Stock & Farms for more then they will sell for in order to live, & as it is the duty ot tho G ermment to provide forthe general wellfare of the people 1t proposes to give us a lift by this change of base.

B, Hurr, e How to Accept Presants. At the holiday season the giving of giving of gifts is prevalent, Now every- body can give sweetly, graciously and lovingly, writes Ruth Ashmore in the Ladies’ Home Journal, How many can accept in the same spirit? Ifeltlast year that there was a thread of coarseness in tho girl who, looking at a fine book that had been sent her by a friend, said: **Oh, dear, I suppose I shall have to get her something rn return for it!” That’s barter and exchange, It isn't giving, Nothing was to be sent in return for the book unless it were the sweetest of thanks, and the mere fact of the accept- ance of a gift does not force upon you its return. Gift giving is like love, the desire is supposed t0 come from the heart, and no gift is worth anything unless it is sent with that feeling, and that only, But then you think youarsto accept and never to return? My deavest girl, wo never know how to return things in this world, but everything does equalize itself, You have been & charming com- punion and have brightened many a moment to & woman whoso purse is better filled than yours. She sends you, when a Christnas day comes, some dainty present, some pretty wifle that she knows you will like, o bool about which you have talked, or a pleture that you have admired; the re- you make should be your thanks ng, and that isall. Your gift of a yful presence was made long before the material one. I donot mean by this that the woman who is nat rich must not give—God forbid it—butI do mean she must not think of attempting to re- turn at once the gift that has come to her. It is vulgar, my dear. Wait until another gift day comes round, and then give something that expresses yoursel, the child of your brain and your fingers, rather than of your purse. After all, Emerson struck the key-note of gift-giv- ing when he said, **Our giftsare for the most part ex prossionless, l.et thesailor bring n sea shell, the poei a poem and the painter a picture,” and these are the gifts that, boing part of yourself, may be received as of value than any- thing which money could obtain.

P 1vs a Chureh, MEN OF SICNS AND GRIPS. A Movement to Consolidate Divisions of tte Uniform Rank, WHICH CHARTERS SHALL BE GIVEN UP ? A Question of the Survival of the Fittest—More Elections and a Grist of News Among the Orders, A meeting of the members of the First regiment, Uniform Rank Knights of Pythias, was called for last Wednesday evenug at Pythian hall on Farpsm strect. The at- tendance was small, It was announced that the meeting was called to consider the advisability of consoli- dating some of the divisions with a view of forming one or two good divisions from the remnants of the First regiment. There are seven divisions of the Férst regi- ment still in _existence, although in the case of manyof them this existenceis a precarious one. ‘The divisions are-Omaha, ~ Lily, Black Eagle, Trojan, Douglas, Launcelot and Myr- tle, Some of these do not meet at all, and are only kept alive by going through the form of electing officers and paying the annual regi- mental tax, This proceeding has becomo rather monotonous to the few faith- ful ones in these divisions and efforts have been made to consolidate weak divisions and makeoneor twolive ones. These efforts have met with the approval of nearly all interested but when it came to the question of which. division should give up its charter and merge its existence into thav of of the other divisions there was a protest long and loud, and the matter came to a standstill, The matter was thoroughly discussed at the meeting Wednesday evening but on account of the small attendance, nothing was done and the mecting adjourned. Arother meeting will be held sometime this week and another effort made to caryy the consolidation into effect. ! Past Supreme Represeptative Willlam D, Kennedy, who has in eharge the preparation of the new digest of laws of the supreme lodge, met in Chicago last week with the chairman of thespecial eommittee on that subject—Fon, John C.
