A Dlagraeed Warrior. I. ! front tbe. Sew York Baa. *. Recently there was witneaaed near Pop. r lar riser, Montana, one of tbe most sio- " j gularocenea in Indian life— tbe puniahmcnt 1 by four Indian girls— the daughters of r j Polecat— of a young Indian bun tar who : I bad assaulted one of tlieir number. Die ' j following description la that of an rye- j Tbe tribe forma a hoge ring, in which ' , the usage who proroked the animosity , L | of the Polecat family is summarily thrust, j | He looks sulleu SDd dogged. He has a I hurd fight before him. and be knows it; j ; hilt he is a man of biabandr, and be mt-otit i '■ , to wear those girls out if it ljrsln his tntu. | , i des and prompt an? effectual work. He i may strike than anywhere aborc the b rear 1 and kill litem if a blow in the neck ^ ; will do It, tim bullets and arrows arc n ady for bid -If he atrikea foul. Tbe • l girls, on the other band, mutt lake oft his apron. If «hey accomplish that, he Is disgraced to the uttermost too1. moot of his life, driven from his tribe, left i to nitre 00 tbe prairie, and all Indians ' ; cautioned against harboring, feeding or associating with him. Tbe injured woman I is allowed lo hare auch squaws as she may 1 | too many to effect her purpose It is-o dis- , glace to her, and so ahe is careful to select . only enough to make the battle nearly j equal. Tbe Polecat girla are the belles of the ' ; Yankton las tribe. If a squaw can be = pretty, these girls are beautiful, and by t ; virtue of their attractions and their fath- - er's possessions in horses and tuber ratis* r factory property, they are the aristocracts 1 ; of the camp. Perhaps for that reason ' | they ask 00 help in tlwir present onder- • I taking, and for that reason also perhaps I I tbeir urage sisters giggle and exchange 1 J whispers as the four girls step into the i ring and approach the waiting buck. All | i j five are in full war print. Down the I . alternate sepia attdgreut and yellow stripes i • on a background of brilliant red. while • > | chest, sulua anil lAck arc trickled out ; , : | with tode pictures uf guns, bows and I irsea. The girls have smeared tbeir | 1 , Lore with a coating of red, over which j • I lies another of green; striped with yellow, j 1 hair is unfastened at the back, and • the front locks are braided w ith otter fur. [ j Koch wears a skirt and legging, but their 1 j blankets are laid aaide, and thVtr musculur ■ aruta are displayed. x ■ There are no preliminaries. Tlte girls 1 dash at their enemy and attempt to grasp - him. If all hands manage to get bold of . t ltim, half the baltlcis accomplished. But . 1 lie meets ihem squarely and fairly, planting a cruel blow between Ibe eye* of the I girl he had injured, knowing that if ebc , t is finished be can eosnpel her to call off ( I tbe rest. She is tbe general of the attacking forces and lite prime object of attack. . I Oser she got* like a pinwboel, but she is , - up again, but her face streaming with t blood and her eyes swelling. The elder I girl had conarnted to secure a waisthoM, , ' and locked ber hands behind his back. ( Hi* fists fail wpoo ber nplurned face with ' frightful forer. but she keeps ber bold. The two other gitla are pressing him hard I from behind, but his elbows work like . , battering-rams, and one steps back witb j 1 her hands pressed lightly to "Ger"breail ' and a look of agony in ber eye*. Now be : w hills suddenly, planting pondarous blows ' upon Utc face and Btad of the girl, who r on her knees still clings to bia waist with • a death-grip. . He fairly raises ber from tbe ground as be spin* but Iter hoW ocver relaxes. His culler victim again dashes at htm, and is rewarded by a crashing stroke on the tnoulb. She reds, but recovers, and darta again to receive the fist on her neck with a force that whirls her half a don n pace* off and drops ber like a log. Not | a word is spoken. The thud of bis fists and the heavy breathing of the struggling contestants are the only sounds. Tbe lis: rally of tbe prostrate girl has enabled the . rear party to catch the buck, and one has twined ber arms around his neck, while the other bangs 10 bis waist His left hand is still Inc. and it furly twinkles in the air aa he batters tbe maiden at hit waist. Her grasp is like Into, hut ,ber ™ bead reels and awaya as bia heavy hand falls 00 it with a ooiac that reaches the „ farthest side of the irregular ring. Her eyes are dosed and ber Itreatb cornea convulsively. Were the fourth gill there to grasp that arm, tbe fight would soon end. Tbe girl behind is choking him and he n employs oew tactics. Grasping tfic kneeling girl by tbe throat, he pounds the face

the 00c behind htm with the back of 1 hit bead. No vanity prompts her to let him go. She tightens her grip and buries ' lace in the hack of his ucrk. The fourth girl is up, staggering and dared. : tbe blodM front her ryes with an angry motion, she approaches him, crouching as she mores. Bf tbe blow be has in ' far ber reaches tbe mark be will another chance— for the girl al his waist is growing faint, and be can easily dispose of tbe other two. She cranes at like a cougar. The Wow is delivered toll upon her breast, but she grasp* bis wrist and writhes up his arm. Now be is beset with danger. The two hi* arm* and the one on bis wrist pull him forward, the girl behind him, still strangling him. throws ber weight 00 his back. In vain be attempts to straighten. kneeling girl bends in her deeper ing straggles until be hair fall* 00 tbe ground other three show the muscles rigid In tbeir arms aa tbey press him down upon kneeling sister. Soadruly br spring! with a marvelous effort of | strength. Tbe fainting girl at his wo 1st j finds, ber bands torn apart. But that j triumph was his deteri. With a crmsb lie | cost* to tbe ground, three girls upm One plants herself upoe bis face and lb* other two kneel on bis arms. o'a straggle, and then the youngi rM riaes with a wild yell, waring tbe ! aprao W her haao. Her yatb ta tebned I a toad moan aa tbe mother of tl* ' | prostrate hunter stagger* out qf tbe circle, ' and hy a grunt Of aatisfaction as Polecat ] recognizes tbe victory oi 1 be girls.

To-morrow somewhere up the rives that j; dlsgrared bock will be found wilt a bnllet in bis brain. Down In Chief Polecat's lodge four braised and weary girts are y_ lending each other's wounds wl'haislerly solicitude, and at tbe other edge of the It camp a bent eld woman looks wistfully ,( away to the north, where the shadows u have swallowed up the disgraced warrior. "" | From the F> Uadflpata Record. A writer of the Pa!/ Mai! GautU dent- j onst rotes that tbe work of exploration -r | which hat been steadily going on in Pom- j !- j peii since 17*8, when the explorations | were first begun, is calculated lo disj«J - i the popular illusioos respecting the nature 1 and extent of- tbe catastrophe as gleaned " ; from traditional fiction. For instance, it e is eoochisircly shown, that the lava stream |C did not reach the city, and it waa not destroyed by fire; the eruption buried tbe ® city under a shower of pkmice-atooe and '' ashes, and accompanying earthquake * tbww down houses and buried many fan- " man beings, as well as other firing crta. "" lures, beneath tbe ruins, but tbe effects of 1 the ashen shower were not lostantanoous, * and all who could get away from the city nt the first alarm, probably saved their' a- lives. The bulk of the people were in the amphitheatre, which was' situated ' near one of the dty galea on the tude re. u mate from Yceuviuf, and there was noth. 1 ing hi hinder everyone in the great audiI ence from getting away in time. From the facta that skeletons had been found ' near toe entrance of Ibe public bath, which c was quilted hastily by the few grand le- ' dies who were not present at the gladiatorial performance in the amphitheatre, tbe time of the catastrophe can be fixed 1 with approximate accuracy at or about I noon, and the discovery of skeletons, ev- ' cry one of whiah has been carefully re- ' corded for at least a century, enables " some conclusions to be drawn as to tbe ' I pbe. From the year when the ex ca rations * | numBcr "d''Euraan* reraain«°*dl!ro»vrcti " j was a hundred and sixty; from 1837 10 ' ' 1845 it was 05. Trom 1846 to 1800 it was 1 ; 60: from 1861 to 1873 it was 87, and from I I 1878 to 1881 about 100. a total of 470 ' victims. As two-fifths of Ibe buried sur1 I face has bren brought lo light, there apj I wars good reason for believing that the 1 total number of human being* who pr- ' idled In the eruption was not more titan r 1300. The remains of a few dogs.honet, ' orrti, pigs, fowls and other animals have also been found, some of them tethered so 1 that they could not escape. Die perfect ■ 1 form of these bodies are left in the soft ' ash. which shows that they were not • ' burned but stnotbered. and lite few re- , ' mains found would indicate that the ■ greater portion of tbe domestic animals . ! cirapcd. Until recently the only method ' of forming an Impression o! the form ant! ' likeness of tbe victims of Pompeii as tbey ■ were in life has been by tbe description of ( ' the explorer*. Thus it is only from the 1 "journal' of Excavations" for tbe year ' ' 1831 that We know of tbe touching ( ' and famous sight which greeted the eyes of tbe first discoveries of the ' House of the Fawn: "On the floor of ^ the banqueting hall lay tbe body of a ( ' woman, probably the mistreat of the 1 house, with ber jewels scattered where 1 she had thrown them in dispair of rescue 1 or escape. The roof batT-UMB dHSliM! ' in hy the weight of tbe falling ash and ' pumice- alone, and the hands of the dying , ' woman were upstretcbed In a vrin effort 1 to keep oil the pending weigUL Parts ot ^ ' the body and clothing could still be made r out, and a drawing could be made of one charming fool." But auch portraits are 1 lifeless and tame, indeed, beside ibe cx- ' traovdinary portrait statues which are now to be teen in the museum al Pompeii. ' These have been obtained by a very sirn3 pie process, by Signor Florrelll, which 1 produces the very fortn and likeness of the I creature in life and In death. FlorrellP* * method is to pour plaster of Paris in a '' liquid state into tbe moulds left by the c b idle* in tbe soft ash. A small opening 1 is made, tbe plaster it delicately poured 5 In, and when it has time to harden the 1 surface crust of ash it Ujieelcd off. Toe a detail of clothing and feature have ail lett ' their mark on the aoft ash. and ail are ' faithfully " preserved in the plaster cost.
