Dr. II. It. I'ortcr of thle city Is reported , to
have made nn offer of1 $50,000 to the govern.
mcnt and a tender of his service * In the armx
In case of trouble with Spain. Thla Incident
to recall the fact that the doctor
Omca of lighting blood.
Dr. Porter IB one of the best known rtol-
flrotH of Dlsmarck and achieved note through
his connection with the Ouster massacre. Ho
was ono of the physicians with the com
mand , one of the youngest of them , and yet
the older men have ntatcd that never was
there at cooler man on the field , and when
Indian bullet. ? were flying thick and fast
nbotit the regulars , Porter was everywhere
Attending to the Injuries or the men , and
nvonn \ ono or two Instances rescuing men
from positions of danger after they had been
wounded , at the risk of his own life. He
rarneil the plaudits of the entire command
to which he was attached , and all of the
survivors of the commands which escaped
massacre have a hearty good word for Dr.
Porter ?
In the excitement and consternation which
waa created at the time of the massacre
of the Ouster command , the Incidents of the
Kreat Iiullaci light were subordinated to the
Kcncral horror of the catastrophe. Llut as
the first horror of the news wore away , the
details of the subsequent flghta of Reno's
command caino to light , and'of their pa'Bago
down the river on the little steamer Kar
West. The steamer was a llttlo boat of
700 tons burden , and under the command of
Captain Grant Marsh , who drove the llttlo
vessel for sixty-four miles up the Little Dig
Horn , an unexplored river , to the mouth of
the Little Horn , where ho was about fifteen
milts from the ecene of the fighting , and
It has been said by the men who were with
him on the boat that there must have been
some i-iieclal provldoice watching over and
guiding the vccsol , as It seemed at the time
as It tha boat bad salted over anl bars
and dry land , so shallow and so treacherous
was the stream. Marsh himself wald after
ward he did not believe he could go over
the same route In a skiff. Betag thus close
to the scene of action , Marsh received the
wounded from Reno's command at 2 o'clock
a. m. of the 28th of June , It being necessary
only to ccnvey them down fifteen miles of
the Llttlo Horn valley Instead of forty miles
ntrcaj a rough prairie , as would have been
the case had Marsh not been there with bin
boat.
NCWS OP TUB MASSACRE.
The night wad BO dark ttoat General Terry
caused flres to bo built to light the way of
litter bearers over the rough and steep places ,
In order that the wounded might bo conveyed
to the boat. And , While the Far West lay
at the mouth of the Llttlo Horn on the mom-
Ing of the 27th , the day after the fight , and
before the news of the slaughter of Citeter'o
command * iod been learned by General Terry
cr any ot the command , and before they had
been advlacd of the perilous position of Reno ,
Curly , a Orow scout , and the only survivor
of the massacre , came out of the bushes near
the boat 'and w.\s recognised as Ouster's guide.
Curly's excitement nas Intense and hb could
not make himself understood In English , GO
he secured a pencil and drew a correct sketch ,
as It was afterward proven , of the battlefield.
Making a few doU on thu paper , ho managed
to convey by signs and gestures that be In *
tended them to represent- the Indians , and
then ho went through the motions of shootIng -
Ing until the whlto men had all been killed ,
Then he made mottona to signify scalping , and
wound up with the statement In broken
English , "White men all dead me got two
ponies- " Tills Is the manner In which th
llcst news of the massacre of the Ouster
command was < given to the army and the
world. Curly said ho saw that the whites
were certain to bo massacred , and so he
managed to reach the river , washed off his
Crow paint , mingled with the Stoux In their
charges to disarm suspicion , and then made
< ils escape and struck out for the mouth ct
tlie Llttlo Big Horn , whcro he knew Terry
would li1 } encamped. Terry at once started
for the scene of Ixutlo and came In sight ot
Hetio'a command , who had been engaged In ai
desperate struggle -with the Indians. Reno .
had attacked the Indians at the head of the
cnrop with three companies of cavalry , and InDt
a desperate hand to hand struggle many ot
the soldiers were killed and the remainder
cut their way to a bluff about 300 feet ern
whcro Uicy were reinforced by Bcntecn. In [
galn'ng ' this position Reno had to recross le
river , and It was at the ford that the st
fight took'place. . It was here tnat Lieutenants t
IMcIntoAh and Hodgson fell , hero Dr. De Wolf
was killed end hero Bloody Knife , tha terrible
chieftain , surrendered up hie spirit. The
Hioux dashed up alongside ( tie soldiers , knock
Ing them off Idclr horses In some cases , and lt I
was In this way that Lloitonant Mclntosh
was captured and killed at the leisure of the
10a
savages. Until 10 o'clock at night the ( lea-
pen to struggle continued , and the soldlcfe
worked all night strengthening their breast
wet Its , using knives , tin cups and plates In
etrad of spades and shovels. In the afternoon
of the second day the supply of water had
( icon exhausted , and the wounded begged
jiltctusly for It. And , finally. Terry came In
fight , and Lieutenant Bradley soon afterward
rcpoited that lie had discovered the dead
bodies of Ouster and his entire command.
CARING FOR THE WOUNDED.
Dr. Porter was In that wild rush for the
ford made by Reno and his command , pass
ing and being repassed by painted savagca
ill their quest for scalps. And as soon as
tha command had reached the bluff , a bar
rlcado ot stores and dead horses was made
and Porter began his succor and relief of the
wolmded. iHe was a very young man ,
the only ono ot the surgeons remaining ,
drs. Ioi d and De Wolf having been
klled. ) The number of the wounded who re
quired treatment rapidly Increased from ten
to fifty and all of them had to be treated
iby the single doctor , with such assistance
as could bo rendered by some of the slightly 1 ;
wounded. Officers of the command wlv
survived were earnest In their praises ot hied hih
woik ot the gallant young doctor , illo workei
with the coolness ot the oldest veterans
tihunnlng no danger , and leaving nothing iso
, done which might alleviate the sufferings o
the wounded. When the forces of Terry
arrived the wounded were borne to hy
steamer Far West , and from there brought t
Ullsmarck , a distance of 900 miles. One o
the olJ-tlnuTs la this city , In speaking o
the arrival of the Far West with Its burden
of wounded and Its gloomy tidings of ma is
eacrc , said : "I remember the occasion isa ;

The average clergy
man is not a healthy
man. There arc many
reasons that contrib
ute to make him deli
cate. He leads a
sedentary life.
He doesn't take
sufficient exer
cise. Just the same
he is a hard-working
i man. He takes too
I much trouble about
other people's troub
les to trouble much
inbout his own. He
'jthiuks ' too much
About other sick people
ple to look after his
, own health. The re-
'sult Is that the hard-
4 working clergyman
becomes a semi-in-
Valid early in life.
There is no necessity' for this. A clergy
man adds nothing , to his usefulness , but
greatly detracts from it , by neglecting his
health. Ifamaiibehe lergymanorlayman ,
will resort to the rtyht'Temedy just as soon
as he feels out of sorts 'and ' knows that he
is a little bilious , or that his liver is torpid ,
or his digestion is out of order , he will remain -
main healthy and robust and add much to
his usefulness and many years to his life.
Dr. Pierce's Goldcnw Medical Discovery
restores the appetite ; makes digestion and
assimilation perfect , invigorates the liver ,
purifies the blood and tones the nerves. It
is the greatest of all known blood-makers
and flesh-builders. It cures 98 per cent , of
all cases of consumption nnd diseases of
the air passages. Thousands who were
given up by the doctors and had lost all
hope have testified to their complete re
covery under this marvelous medicine. It
is the discovery of an eminent and skillful
specialist , Dr. R. V. Pierce , for thirty years
chief consulting physician to the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute , at Buffalo ,

"Bight yean ago I was taken with what my

. . NEW YORK , April 4. A dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says : Ordern have
been cabled to Lieutenant J. J , Knapp , com
manding ' the torpedo boat Somcrs , purchased
from : Germany , to proceed to England and
take command of the cruiser Diogenes , pur
chased frctn.tho Thames Iron works. The
Dlogonefi U a cruiser of 1,800 tons displace
ment and will be used os a member of the
pecond line of defense , fee which purpose
this government Is purchasing a large num
ber of yachts and l.i converting them Into
torpedo boate. Tdo Diogenes , was originally
built In 1SS2 for the Portuguese government ,
but , the Lisbon authorities falling to take
It , the ship remained at the Thames Iron
works and was rebuilt during the ln.it year.
It haa a speed of sixteen knots , some rco-
teotlon and haa an excellent battery for Its
filzc
Lieutenant Knapp , It Is expected , will ar
rive In England oti the Somcm tomorrow anil
will at once put to sea with the Dloqenca.
He will have command of both vessels on
their vojage across the Atlantic. He will
be directed to proceed with all possible dis
patch to New York , so thit ttie two Milps
m be out of the reacii of Spanish cruleere
In case war should be declared this week.
The authorities admit that they are hunt
ing for more vesrels , but they seem to fear
that their agents abroad will not be success
ful In getting ofay largo vessels. There Is
reason to believe that they hope to secuto
seine torpedo boats during ( tie present week.
Too dilutee torpedo boatn under construc
tion at Gibing and Stettin , Germany , have
been Inspected by Lieutenant A. P. Nlbluck ,
the naval attacdo of thlfl government In
Berlin , but he his reported that they arc
not ready for sea. Lieutenant Sinn and
Commander Drownson are carefully Inspect
ing torpedo boats under construction In
Franco ami Italy and the department has
rcaaon to believe that their search may result
successfully. No authority has been given to
Commander Ecownscn to buy the steam yacht
whltti Is under construction In Italy for the
miltaii of Morocco.

LONDON , April 4. There wao a scene In
the House of Commons today on the acknowl
edgement by the flrat lord of , the admiralty ,
Mr. Ooschen , that a seaman belonging to the
British first-class battleship Resolution , had
been sentenced to a fortnight's confinement
In a cell nnd to bo deprived of his good con
duct badge for wearing the shamrock on St.
Patrick's day In disobedience to orders. Mr.
Goschen explained that it was a matter ot
discipline , whereupon William Hcdmond ,
Parnelllte member for East Clare , hotly re
plied to Mr. Oceclien , and was called to
order by the speaker , who declared that his
conduct was grossly disorderly. Mr. Red
mend said that , at the risk of being grossly
disorderly , he must denounce as an outrage
the oentencing of a sallo'f 'to a fortrlght'a
Imprisonment for wearing the shamrock.
The speaker thca called upon Mr. Hsd-
mend ito withdraw , but Mr. Redmond did not
leave his seat until the sergoaut-at-anrfl ad-
\ traced , when lie fo'lowed that ofllccT out
of the house , repeating , "It la an out-
