On Sunday laat a Phmtr reporter enjoyed a lengthy converaation with Joo Jleskiss, lieutenant o( la^aa pdlics, stationed at Ch^enne river ageooy, who is now in st- le n oance as a witness upon a United Sintes aistnct court. Joe is a half- breed, who has lived with the Sioux a greater portion of his life, yet he it a very intelligent person and a ready and entertaining conversationalist. Ha waa educated at St. Looir, speaks several languages fluently, and has had extenaive experience on the frontier. The Sioux are very anperatitiona, are con- trolled by legendo in whatever they do, and never embark in an undertaking without first having the assurance that they are in the right. In their way they are a very re- ligions people, cherishing the greatest reepect for the rights both of property and pe r son, of every member of the tribe. The cnaatity of their womeo is also noteworthy, aad evaa their mode of warfare is ia areofilaase wkh the tcacbiogs of the great spirit. Trae, they are often accused of great atrocitiee, bat if history was searched, it wonld be found that members of the tribe had suffered similar torture aol death at the hands of tha whites, the circumstances of which had been remembered and retaliated at the first op- portnoity. The Indian haa the ntmoat reverence for the "Great Spirit," but no belief in the cxiatenoe of an evil oqe. They use no profanity, nor anything correspond- ing to a white man's oath. Their ideas of the heieafter are vagae, but impressive nev- ertheless. They belive that every act and episode of life below will be repeated in the ** happy hunting gronnds," even to the minateet de- tails, hence tbe burial of implementa ot war and toil with every deceased. Probably one of tbe noh'est actions in In- dian history was the reacne, in 1862, of eight persons â€" two womeu and six children â€" from the Santee camp, at the month of Grand River, by Four Bear*, now in th'S city. The captivts were sdopted into the tribe, and one, Julia Wright, torsed to mar- ry a son of Black Hawk, then a prominent chief. Four B«ais procured their liberation partly through purchase, (giving four horses,) and partly by strategy, and atter pasting through many perils, returned them to their homes. For this nob'e act Four Bears waa promised remuneration by con- gress, but tbe promise haa never been ful- filled. During his lecaut trip to Washington ho brought the matter before Secietary Sohurz, when atsnrance was a«ain given that the reward would eooo be forthoom- ing The relation existing betw!en members of a family are very peculiar. For instance, brothers and sisters do not fraternize â€" are very distant â€" scarcely recognizing each othar. Mothers-in-law are also ostracised immediately upon the marriage of their children. Marriage is nothing moie than purchase and sale, negotiated by tbe aeareat fnenda of both parties, but the relations assumed are considered sacred, and are seldom vi- Uted. Tbe Custer massaore, in which many oi the Cheyenne Indians participated, is sel- dom mentioned, acd never only u ii « moat oautious manner. It was not at the time considered a victory, nor ia it teaxtubered as an event reflecting honor upon the tribew On the contrary, tnch few accounts as h^wt been gleamed from those who participated, indicate that a route of the Indians was accomolifbed, and would have re- had Bmo not shown the white Jeather. His Battle, head warrior of the tribe, is very emphatic in his denunciations of Reno, and aays that Cutter's deith and many of hia command ia attributabK to hia (Reno's) coviardice. A map is now being prepared at the a:;eucy showing tbe position of the Indians, both when the charge was made, and soon after, when Reno attacked front the south. Caster led the charge to the head of the draw and ordered a volley fired into the lodges opposite. Immediately two thousCnd braves arose from the sage brush in the rear of the soldieirs and began their terrible worki- Cotter gave tha eider to about wheel fad charge, and, wiA the three hundred, galloped toward the foe. The latter were too numerous and too thor- oughly armed the onslaught was cbeoked the enemy came up with a yell the field became a acene of the wildest ooofasion and death.

Biding back with two other officers when the pursuit was almoat over, tte Colonel had panted to ste that none were left behind, and in that keen swift glance be had leen one face, the sight of which had sent a wild thrill to his very heart. Not one second did he pause, but turned and dashed back. It all passed in leas than two minutes. Thev saw him one seoond alcne surrounded by Zaloa.

" Never mind that now, Archie," said the Culooei in a low voice, laying bit hand tenderly on his brothers forehead be could only remember that he was djiag, the kng years of shame Uid tin teemed aumehow un- real and mist] and atill withal there waa a aense of being sharply wounded and atung. " Unless it be to ask Heaven's mercy for that sin." Aicbie turned his face awsy with a groan.

Ah â€" there ia aomeonel Loria, stay." For, with one bound, Loris McL:od had reached the entrance to the tent, across which a curtoin was drawn.. He set his teeth, and there waa an almost desperate look in tbe large bright eyes as he stood there in the opening and met tbe half- iaqniring ^se of his ooaaaasding-officer, who was sccooipaniod by Doctor McAlistor. "Tbe man is dying," said tbe Colonel; " it ia nseless ta trouble yoa. Sir Everaat he is not fit to see anyone. Forgfve me if I aak you not to enter. " "My dear McLeod, forgive me if I disre- gard yoor wiah," aoawered Sir Everest, lay- mg his hand gently 00 tbe Colooal's arm. "MoAlister hu told me what he witnessed and what the wounded man said. There ia aome grave mystory here which ought to be cleared up. It is plain you have been suf- fering for the deed of another man and it is my duty to help to remove a stigma from tbe name of one of tbe bravest offieets who ever served the Qoecn." He spoke gravely aad gently but through an there was s ring of eommand whioh, even in this moBMot of deipersto conflict, Loris McLeod, loyal to thatobedience which was a creed with him, could not disregard, There was a aeoond's dirsstmggle then he bowed his hSad in mato acquiescence and drew baok ier the Geaenl to pass.

The news spread like wild-fire through the camp that the Arobie Lovell of Lonadale's Herse, wbo had joat died of hia woanda, wss not "Lovell" at all, but Colonel MoLeod's brother. It would not have been poaaible to keep that secret, all tbe oircumataooee attending bit death being so uniuual. And Sir Everest deemed it only right and jutt that the C/om- mander-in-Chief and all thote who knew Lorii McLeod ihould be acquainted, with the facte of that mystery whicb had been an everlasting puzzle to thoee who had terved in the Mutiny. And, after all. what did it matter? All the world woald know it aooti. Sir Everest had seat off Arobie'a ooafeesion with the dtepatehw that very day. All the newt, papers weald be trumpet-tongued with the stoiy. It was only another bitter ordeal to bearâ€" one of many, Loris thought, he would have to go through. There was an inteaae quiet pleuuro ex- preaed by all but no one uttered a word of coogmtulation a warm hand-claap, the look that spoke as much at wordp, but un- like words, ooald not wound â€" that was *1L It would have been nookfry indeed to congratulate Loria Moleod on the restoiatiou of all be had lost, when all was bought nith a brother's dishonour. I a thoee days of silent angiiish Colonel McLeod scarcely knew whether tbe cost was lot too dear wherewith honour bad been given back. He cooid have borne, he thought, with a dull aohing at bis heart, to live on in shadow, having in some sort re deemed his name iu this brief campaign. Now all that he had suffered â€" perhaps erred to guard so closely â€" waa bruited about. The old name was tamiahed the spote were not rubbed off tbe shield. Yet now be bad all for which, when he lacked it, he bad passionately yearned and prayed. Honour, love, the reward {jr such dauntleas bravery as he had ahowi^^ -^re his and they fell at hia feet, and be looked at them with eyes dim with pain. They teemed so burdened thst he said bitterly they had come "too Uto." Be blamed himself fur being unthankful, making little allowance for the utter deprea- sion which followed so great a menUl strain. He had one passionate wnging â€" to see Cecil, to feel tbe touch of her tender hands, to bear tbe low sympathetic voice, and to know this love wss nntirged with one single thought of bitterness. Archie McLeod waa buried at Utundi with othen who bad faUeo aa he bad. So it waaall for tbe best. There could be only a feeling of unfitnea in the publicity inseparable from such a funeral as his must be if brought home to Castle McLeod • • » • 1 The newspapers published the official letter which toe Commander-in.Chief for' warded to Colonel McLeod. The letter ozpreased the greatest sstssfBction thst tne stigma under which so brsve an officer had Uved, and for which be htd wreagly suffer- ed, had been at length laoioved. It toiicbed lightly on ths aoMs gsosrasi^ which bad sMeted to bear the ptiallj of a brother's gBiH, and warmly oalogised the .service) rendered to tbe oenntnr mr Cdonol McLeod. Tbe papers siso pahtished the fact that Colonel McLeod went dosra to Ridinghurst the day after an interview with the Com- mander-in-Chief, that he reeeived from his regiment, the tahabitaato of Hyde, and his tenantry a perfoot "ovstica," and that in the oeurte of a dav or two he wss to be summoned to Sootlaad, where the Qareo herself wotild place 00 his breast the Viz. tons Ci as 1WLU BDMBBOOS SKSBIBS ABOVT aVMBB* ava uxDS or abhuu.

Mr. Pilcbell he said " What, do von mean to take that feller in your handt ' The natiff nigger taid he did, if bit godi waa willing that he should get a toil hold. Mr. Pitoh- ell he said " Ain't them kind of anaka pizin T" and the nisger siid " I've et ten this morning, and ^1 pretty well. Mebby they would pizen me if I was greedy like hogs." A other time when Mister Pitchell wu there a natiff nigger which was tbe king be uid to him " You oome to the palaoe next Sunday and preach to lu poor convert- ed heathens, and I will have a mighty good dinner ready for yoa when you have got done." So Mr. Pitohell he wsnt and preached, sod while he was a preachin' be kept a smellin' the dinner which wa being boiled mighty nice, and every time he smelt it he stopped to get a good whiff of it.

My 8istor"s yonng man aays one time in Indy there wa a man had to travel a long jumey on foot, and ao he hired a snake-charmer to protect him, cos the aaakea there ia a mighty bad lot. So the man and the charmer they sterted, and after they had gone about a mile the charm- er he stopped and said "I guea it's about time for rae to begin a earning my money." So be took a floote out of bis close and be- gan to play a tone, and pretty soon some snakw crawled out of the graa for to tee what was up. And bimeby rome more rome and stood around too, till after a while there wis 'bout a thousan' hundred big pizen snakes all around 'em and tue man was fri;;htened 'moat to death. Then the charmer put away bis floot and said " Yon can't tiod any fault with such charmin' a that, I guess, can you!

I thought it wa pretty manifat that the elderly lady waa -embar- rassed at finding herself in such a conspicu- ous place arrayed in such cheap apparel I began to feel sorry for her and troubled about her. She tried to seem very busy with her prayer-book and her responaa, and un- contcions that she was out of place but I said to myalf, "She is not seooeeding â€" there is a distressed tremulousnea in her voice which betrays increasing embarraai- ment." Presently the Saviour's name wu mentioned, and in her flurry she lost her head oompletoly, and rose and cnrteied, in- stead of making a alight nod as everybody elw did. The sympathetic blood surged to my temples, and I tamed and gave thoa fine Urds what I intended to be a beeeeching look, but my feelings sot the better of me and changed it into a look which aaid, " If any of you pets of fortune laugh at this poor soul, you will deserve to be flayed for it, " Things went from bad to wora, and I shortly found myself mentally taking tbe unfriended lady under my protection.

Tbe firm haa grown to be a big ooe, but it prefen not to change the old ar- rangement. Tbe young man, having an aatored income to back him up, hu proa- pered in California, aad bids fair to be a very rioh man. In fact, eves at the pra- ent price, there ia no better investment for money than a teat in the B»rd, provided that the invettor ia a man of agree ible man- ners; aod hit a knowledge of the waya of ths atreet, or atsociates himalf with a man who haa. It ia not improbable that the price of a seat will ria, within the year, to $50,000, if the tide of cencral prosperity ooutinoa to strengthen, for the volume of biuinea tranucteddaily upon the Exchange is tremendons, and is steadily swelling. Why, a dsy when 500,000 ahara of stoek are sold and bought is an sverage day now. The oommisaions on this buying and aliing are |25 for every 100 aharee, or $125,000 for tbe day's busiaea â€" an average o^ more than flOO a day apiece to the 1,100 brokers. " Why, I'll tell yon something that very few people know, and that is, that a broker wbo hu a fair buainea relia upon his inte- rest account alone to pay lis whole office expcnaea. Knssell Sage, probably tbe larg- at operator in ttockt in tne world, the boys tell me, expecte them to divide their oom- mistion wiui him when they drop in for a dicker over a privilege, and that tbit Uttle ' tide tpecalation ' braon him up for all of hia buaineu exptnaa. So, you aee, the commiuiooa in a well-regulated office are clear profit. By tbe interat account in a broker't office I man tho prccentage that a broker uiually charga for carrymg your atock for you until you are ready to all out, or to get sold out, if your margin runs down too low to make the broker s commission and intorat a tare thing. Tb» banki are very Uberal in their disoounte to members of tbe Exchange. A broker can get money u a rule, even in tight tima, at a rate that leava him a conaiderable margin of profit in oharging interat to tbe oiutomer. A good many firms, of course, don't charge any interest, but that is because their profito from oommiuions are so large that they don't care about such a trifle u the interat on the money that they pay for the stock they buy for a customer. Those are tbe kind of brokers who have customers who buy and aU 25,000 ahara of stock in a day, without getting within gunshot of tbe Umit of their capital. I know of one auch houa that has a customer who not only keeps up a stiff margin, but lenda the firm his check for a million or two whenever they want to even up their heavy stock aoconnt at the cloM of a trying d«y's buainas, "Then, too, every member of the Board is good for f 10,000 worth of life insurance if he is in good standing in the Exchange at his death. That means simply if be is a member, for we don't try to void life insur- ance down here u they do iu some palatial structures in Broadway, where the uncon- tested payments to the survivors of policy holders are the leut item in the enormous aggregate of reoeipte and exponaes,upon any technicality. Upon tbe death of a member, every living member is assessed |10. That pays 910,000 cub and no fooling, and leaves a margin that goes into a surplus insurance fund that hu already got to rapectoble proportions. Tbe money is paid over by a special committee to tbe widow, or nearest of kin, ordinarily, within three days after tbe death of the member. So, yon see, membenbip in tbe Exchange, with the ante of partoership in a great number of millions of dollars' worth of property and daily business, tbe splendid opportnnttia, graoting tbe possesion of a clear and well- balanced head and a steady nerve, of mak- ing a large income, and the certainty of the payment of a snug sum to one's heirs after one's death, is a nut thing. Judging from my own experience and that of my friends, there is nothing neater, for, with skilful management, a broker may get along with very little money besides that which bis customers put up u margin. The profits of turning over 500,000 shares a day are, of course, not equally divided among the brokers. But the amall fry hu a better show on Wall street, probably, than any- where elu in the world, because the rate of profit for a broker's servioa is fixed, and the broker who maka $100,000 a year gete n» more for handling 100 ahara than the bro- ker whose income it only $10,000. All de- pends upon customers. They are allured, though Uiey are men, u a rale, by attractive snrroondings as well u agreeable manners. This is getting to be well understood now, aod an era uf luxury in offioe famiahing has begun in Wall street. Very few customers, dealing in 100 shara at a time, suffice to pay cxpensa aad to aaure a handaome profit. Why, a young friend of mine, who bad an obecure Uttle offioe in a dingy build- ing, and half a doxen customers, cleared $300 a day in commissions for ninety days at tbe beginning of lut year. That wsa jost $27,000. It enabled him to branch out, and bring about liim a better claa of customers, and to-day he ia on the high road to wealth. Von can judge from thia how much money tbe big fellows make. Why, if brokers didn't speculate, they'd get rioh in a very few years." » tapcsBSBts a little hoy ssfciag wktVUMB, kit that dis^gskbss Mt fk«a h aih a rfs ar 0K, it is BBlsL- MliaB ths pscsat "strOi.
