One of the most remarkable Indian
sieges on record, considering the number of the assailants and assailed, the
time the latter h^rd out, and the entire
result, occurred on the Missouri, at a
place called Cote sans Dessein, during the
early part oJ the present century. The
hero of this siege, who survived it® tell
the tale, was a Frenchman named Bap-
tiste Roy. We give a translation of his
narrative, as subsequently received
from his own lips.
,'My friend, Pierre Roussant, and myself, went up the Missouri to hunt, and
my wife accompanied us. We took
four rifles with us, and a good many
pounds of powder and lead. We stopped at Cote sans Dessein, and went into the garrison house. Nobody else
vyas there.
" It will be a good place for our headquarters while we stay round here, I
said.
" Pierre and my wife agreed with me.
" We had been there only a few days
when a big band of Sioux appeared.
They numbered four or five hundred.
Pierre and I were not far from the
house, setting traps, when we-first saw
them. We ran and got in safely, and
fastened ail the doors. The walls were
,thick, but there was no stockade. There
were several loop-holes, commanding
every direction, and the ground around
was clear of trees and brush, the savages came on, with fierce yells, farmed
with guns and bows, swarmed around
iis like bees around a hive, and commenced firing rapidly. They aimed at
the loop-holes and many balls and arrows came inside.
"The devils,1 said I, j must have as
good _as they send, or we shall be in
debt to them.'
" Then we began Our work. We had,
as I have said, four rifles, and ptenty «f
powder and lead. Our rifles were loaded to begin with,-and we forthwith gave
thern three shots at once—my wife;
who was no timid lady, firing one piece.
Each of us brought down our man.
The Indians yelled and began to fall
back.
" Bravo!-' said I; 'that will serve for
an introduction. By and by we shall
get better acquainted, if they stpy,'
"Thto I fired the other rifle it a
plumed warrior, that might have been
a chief, and Pierre Saw him put his
hand to his side asnd stagger away.
" My wife now went to work casting
Bullets, and Pierre and I to leading and
firing as fast as we could, We did not
always have a good mark; but we
thought it best to keep our rifles talking, to let the red devils know that we
were alive and wanted to be sociable. ■
"For a while after their first retreat
they kept pretty well back.. Then
they drew further off, into the edge of
the wood, and seemed to have a con
sulfation.
" They don't like us, and are a-going
to leave,' said Pierre. ' Well,' he added, with a-deep sigh, good-by my darling, if you must go!'
" IfVe only had a few locks of their
hair,' laughed I.
" Don't be too sure of your safety,'
said my wife, .seriously. ' I fear they
are plotting mischief.'
" She was right. In a few, jainutes
they separated, divided into five or six
parties, and came rnshing down upon
us, with loud yells, from as many different directions* Their object was to
effect a lodgment under the walls, out
of our reach, so as to.be able to cut
their way in, or fire'the building.
" We sprung to our work and work it
was. I never loaded and fired faster in
■my lifff^-rrdw through this  loop-hole—
now through that—irISji directions—
and generally with gootV^f6ct- j£y
wife, who had previously gaS^ on us
in casting, bullets, now assistec^g jn
loading and firing. We dashed inS^
powder, dropped in the balls, prima?
leveled, and .fired in almost the time it
takes me to tell of it. More than once
our rifles became so heated that we had
to cool them with water.
" At last the Indians, after a loss of
some twenty of their best warriors, began to fall back, and finally disappeared, leaving us in hope that they had
raised the siege.
" I am afraid, though, they will pay.
us another Visit to-nignt, rsald~l,■'' aim
we must he on the alert and prepared
for the worst.'
" My fears were not groundless. After night set in, we kept wide awake
for hours, watphing through the different loop-holes. About midnight we all
became very sleepy, and began to nod
at our posts.
" At least one of us is enough to keep
on the watch,' muttered Pierre,, rt and
two of us may as well get some rest.'
"His words roused me. Looking
sharply through my looop-hole,' I
thought I saw something like a shadow
moving up toward us. I whispered to
my wife and Pierre, and they came and
looked.
" They are savages !' said my wife.
" Let us all fire together, then,' said I.
"Then we all took^aim at the shadow
and fired at it together. The screeches and yells that followed made our
hair stand. A»volley was fired at us in
return, and one bullet just grazed my
cheek. An inch further, to the right
would have left my wife a widow.
" The Indians again retreated, however, and did not disturb us any more
that night.
" The next day, toward noon, they
again made their appearance, running
forward in different parties, from different directions, the same as the day
before. We jumped to our,work agajn,
and killed several of them; but one
party managed to get close up to trie
house, and announced their presence
by yells of triumph.
" We must drive them off,' said
Pierre, ' or they will set us on fire !'
" He went toward a closed-loop-hole,
that looked out upon the spot where
they were.
' Do not open it I cried,' for they
may kill you I'
" There is no other way to drive them
back,' he said, without giving proper
heed to my warning.
" I saw he was about to open it, and
I ran forward to' prevent him. But I
was too late. He threw it open before
I could reach him and lool*ed\ out.
What he saw hgrnever told. Tnst sight
was his last. The}® w<as a flash, a crack
and Pierre fell back againsi'ifrfe, shot
through the eye and brain. At the
same time I raised my piece and fired,
and another savage bit the dust. Then
I closed the loop-nole and thsew myself down beside my friend with a groan
of grief and despair,
" Oh, mon Dieu! mon Dieu !' groah

herself down beside m " I threw my
arms around her^andr fear a while we

witli exultation, believisg we were
about to fall' into their Hands. I too
thought out1 trme had about come.
My friend - Was; dead, ray more than
brother, and I envied him. Had it npt,
been for my wife I would have made
no further effort to defend myself. I
would have opened the same loop-hole
and let the savages kill me.
"While my wife and I sat there in
despair, grieving over the loss of our
dead friend, the Indians, who had been
quiet for a few minutes, suddenly gave
another series of triumphant yells.
" Ah ! God help us I what now ? sighed my wife.

"We now went back to our work
with renewed hope ; and so fast did we
load and lire, and with such-good execution, that at last tho savages again
fell back.
" They kept up the siege for four
days and nights, but never came ifery

declaring the house was, "Great Medicine," and Was guarded by the Great
Spirit, and that it was no use for them
to try to take it.
" In that siege they lost over* forty
warriors.
" And so at last my poor wife and I,
worn down by our long nights, found
ourselves saved. W4 fell.into each other's arms and wept for joy, and for our
remarkable deliverance."
Years after "this worsdterful siege,
Baptis'te*Roy, being in needy circumstances, petitioned Congress for a pen

This is what the Boston Transcript
say* of them-: SPfl
It is seldom the case that " letters of
introduction speak the truth when
they are -wrung from the giver. For
instance, an individual who has failed
to accomplish any good results in life,,
through sheer laziness and instability,
conceives the idea of a course of lee-*
tures to be by him delivered in aTiis-
tant city. Straightway he snakes application to all the "influential persons
he happens to know for eommehdary
missives addressed to the leading people in the city he intends to storm.
With scarcely an exception, all to
whom he applies will give a note indorsing the applicant, and off he goes,
fermi^d to the teeth with power to make
a rMd upon an unoffending people. In
nine cases out of ten the real facts
about the lecturer would have been expressed sorhewhat! after this fashion :
Dear Sib : At his .request I give
this line of introduction to Mr. W. A.
Rollingstoiae of this city, an individual
well known to this commuuity as an
unsuccessful gatherer of moss. Mr. R.
intends, I   learn,   to give  a course of
twelve iectures in on the Pilgrim
LFatherSj^_ai_ subject-^about which he
knows nothing and cases less. He haF
triedf various' employments before he
commenced lecturing, and I have en:
gaged him daring tire past five years
in several of -them, but always with
loss of greenbacks. He has been by
turns a clergyman, a schoolmaster, a
custom house officer, a nerve doctor, a
colporteur, a stove agent,: and a bird
fancier, and in each of these walks he
has signally failed, as he is sure to do
as a Pilgrim-Father spouter. With
this warning, I am, dear sir, very truthfully yours, John Joxes.

tHat I still urgently need to khow^C^,
I never was, even for a day, a pupil nS
any seminary higher, or other than 'a
very common school; but I prize the
independence thus secured, far above
the learning which it would have dearly purchased. I wouljj like to read
Homer and iEschylus, Plato and Demosthenes, in their native tongue ; but
not at the cost of owing my ability so
to read them, to the bounty of-some
sect or education society, who would
reasonably expect of me the-champion!
ship of its dogmas in return. I would
not be bound, even by the silken ligaments .of gratitude, to what Seems to
me the truth to-day, if I Were thereby
to be rendered even disinclined to-accept and welcome the- deeper truth
that may dawn on my apprehensions
to-morrow.
The prevalent -laxity of fiber on this
point, is one of our gravest perils; It
indicates a serious, and I fear a growing defect of national character. Eve-
one wishes to rise—which is natural
and perhaps laudable; but the great
majority aspire to rise, not by natural
elasticity, nor yet by arduous personal
effort, but by clinging to the. skirts of
some one else» Some rich uncle or
generous brother, some wealthy friend
or free handed philanthropist, is expected, or at least desired, to inflate
the balloon whereby the fond aspirant
hopes to be floated over the heads of
the multitude into an elysium of wealth
or power. Our youth are generally
ambitions; but the crown of simple
leaves which so richly rewarded the
long preparation^ the abstinence and
thorough .training, of the victor in the
Grecian games, would have little attraction in their eyes. They aspire
rather to clutch quickly and easily
those material advantages which are
blessings to those only - who
have worthily, laboriously achieved
them. They covet the sudden, though
doubtful gains of speculation, rather
than the slow but sure reward of useful industry. They asp&e to be wealthy
first, and "useful,(if ever) afterward;
they mistakenly fancy that S an unearned fortune were somehow showered upon them, they would excite Gad's
astonished admiration hy devoting a
tithe of ft id some unselfish, beneficent
use. Givethern^aTorfan^^d^MMithey
would soon conclude that a tithe of a
tithe is all they coulot spare for any
philanthropic aim; and they would
grudge even that.
We all know men who " begun the
world with nothing," and have now afl
thafi heart coulJi wish. We know sons
of such who, beginning with.everything,
(we say,) soon ran it down to nothing.
The mainspring of a noble career was
Wanting, Their youthful experiences
were directly calculated to imbue them
with the rake notion that it is the sum
of life to eat and drink luxuriously,
dress sumptuously, and ride, sail, or
dance abundantly; that it is man's
chief end to gratify .his physieal appetites and reVel in Sensual delights.
Thus blinded and misedueated, they
were from Childhood impelled oh the
road to ruin, and may largely blame
their infatuated parents or guardians
for their swift descent to perdition.
ThS great first .truth to be impressed
on every unfolding mind, is the. inexorability of ^retribution. Driye out nature "with a pitchfork, they say, and
she will surely come in again ; but Ret-
ribution»will not be driven out, Jyikei
to like ; so much for so much ; pain :
and woe, the inevitable shadow of evil
doing—such is the elemental law of the
■universe, as vital and operative to-day,
on this earth, in our homes, as'ever on
any planet that revolved, any sun that
ever shone. There are sufferings that
result from other sins than those of the
present sufferer; but no one ever did
wrong and/escaped- or evaded the penalty. . " In the day thou eatest thereof
thou shalt surely die; " which does not
by any-means imply that you shall be
alive and well to-morrow.
".But may no one ever seek aid from
others?"
Yea, verily 1 If you are ignorant
seek knowledge; if unskilled and irr-
efficientj seek ability and dexterity in
whatever sphere of useful effort shall
seem to you most inviting. • "But seek
these, with every other good, as equivalents for services rendered, not as

He has lost the elite to his.way through
this mortal labyrinth, and must henceforth wander as chance may dictate.
To his distorted apprehension, the universe has become a gaming table, and
life a succession of ventures on the red
or on the black. His prospects of winning thereat^ in the Jong run, are miserable enough. J^Z!

he who was upright and noble yesterday, may prove'fajse and unworthy to
morrow. Cling to Truth and Justice,
though all the'world should desert and
decry them-. Give your conscience eyes,
and never fear that it will mislead you.
Others may be richer in knowledge than
you; but a pure and lofty soul has no
earthly superior, and should recognize
none. Hold fast to whatsoever is righteous, and whatever clouds may for the
moment enwrap you, and intercept the
smile of heaven, never be so infidel as
