A Strange Story. Tho Iondoo
Herald tells tho following singular and
touching storj :
Not maoy jcars ftlnco certain miners,
working far underground, cainc upon the
body of a poor fellow who had perished
iu the suffocating pit forty years before.
Some chemical agent to which the body
had been subjected an agnt prepared
in tho laboratory of nature had effectu
ally arrested the process of decay. They
brought it up to the surface, sad fur a
while, till it crumbled through exposure
to the atmosphere, it lay there the image
of a fioe, sturdy young man. No convul
sions had passed over the face of death
the features were tranquil; the hair wa
black as jet. No ono recognized the
face a generation had growu hioce the
miner went down his shaft for tho last
time. But a tottering old woman, who
had hurried from her cottage at heating
the news, came up, and she knew again
the face which through all thcic long
years she had not quite forgotten., The
poor miner was to have been her husband
on the day after that oa which he died.
They were rough people, of course, who
were looking on ; a liberal education and
refined feelings are nut deemed essential
to the man whose work is to get out coal,
or even tin; but there were no dry eyes
when the gray headed pilgrim cast her
self upon the youthful corpse and poured
into its deaf ear many words of endear
ment unusual for forty-six years. It was
a touching contrast; the one so old, the
other so young. They had both been
young those long years, but timo had
gone on wit a. tne living and stood still
with the dead.

Ex-Governor Briggs, of Massachusetts,

man was traveling in New England. Ar
riving late at the town where they were
to spend the night, Pat discovered to his
dismay that his only chance for sleep was
to share tbe couch of a colored brother.
The natural repugnance of his race made
him loth to accept the situation ; but be
ing very tired, he submitted with as gcod
a grace as possible. In the night some
mischievous boy blackened his face
Next morning fifteen miles were to be
traveled before breakfast. Our Celtic
friend was awakened just in time to spring
into the carriage as it was moving off.
At the stopping place ho found no con
venience for washing. Stepping up to
a glass to arrange his hair, he started
back in horror, exclaiming, "Be jabbers,
you've woke the dirty nagar ; and left ir.e
fifteen miles behind I"
Packing a dog is one of the novelties of
travel introduced into Owyhee recently.

he had traveled all tho way from Califor

that his faithful dog had been his sole
companion, packing his blankets atd other
little things indispensable to camp life.
During his stay m Montana tne JJIackfoot

OREGON, SATURDAY,
A ROMANO? Off THE IlOKDttll.
Tho St Louts Republican, of February
27th, says :
On Wednesday last a strange looking
party visited tho office of the Chief of
Police, and during their stay tho follow
ing particulars concerning their history
wcro given, and in a manner so simplo
that no doubt ot their truth could bo en
tertained :
Tho man s name is Kimball, and his
companions were his wife and child. In
1858 ho was captured by tho Indians,
when on his way to California, and car
ried into the interior. Ho was not treat
ed cruelly, but his escape was carefully
prevented, and years elapsed and ho re
mained still a captive. Gradually he be
came accustomed to Iudian life, and half
reconciled to its wild freedom and savage
accompaniments. After eight or ten
years had passed, ho met among tho In
dians of another tribe a young American
woman, who, although not only not only
a resident, but thoroughly domesticated
among tho savages, retained tho marks of
her parentage We need not describo
tho incidents of their intimacy. Love
vows aro quickly consummated under
such circumstances, and in duo time
Kinibill became tho husband of the In
dian Anicricau girl, and they continued
to live among the Indians, enjoying a fair
share of happiucss. Kimball learned
that his wife had been captured on the
frontier when a child, but was so youos
at the time that ahe retained no remem
brance of her parents aod friends, vr of
the circumstances under which wasebe cor
ried off.
In the course of time tho husband, who
had learned the Indian language, taught
his wife to speak English, and an imagi
native man may picture them sitting over
the camp fire talkie? of the strange des
tinies which had shaped their lives. It is
not surprising tl at they ultimately framed
the desire of regaining civilization. The
birth of their child mado the father more
anxious to carry this into cliccf. and he
has at last succeeded, his wife accompany
ing him. On reaching tho ftoatier they
wcro withoqt money an! were considera
bly delayed, but finally managed to reach
this city. The man's intention was to
reach, if possible, Springfield, Illinois,
where he says he formerly had some rela
tives, and then if he could obtain
some means to eo to rcw York, where
he had a brother living. Their viit to
the chiefs ofilce was ia search of trans
nor'atiou to Sprtogficld, and they were
referred to the Mayor's office.
Kimball h fully versed in Indian man
ners, and exhibits also, we regret to say,
a truly savago proclivity fur firewater,"
otherwise whisky. He can give tho war-
whoop dance, Indian dances, and, in ad
dition, perform sundry athletic feats which
arc quite remarkable. We must not for-
get to add that he and his wife exhibit
the liveliest affection for each other, and
appear happy and contented. The boy is
exceedingly bright, and speaks English
well and Indian better.
Sum Total of Gheat Libraries.
We have had much to do with diction-
arte, urn ana last; have turned over a
thousand pounds of them perhaps; have
watched new editions rising in stately
ashions, aod found the best were set on
Webster's sure foundations. What we
have written of Webster's work, while it
has been in all truthfulness, has also been
in all love. We have a warm filial feel
ing for it and him ; grateful to Webster
for earliest lessons and latest teachings;
grateful to God, that, while he gave us
English for our mother tongue, He gave
us a man so worthy to record and ex
pound it; men so worthy to continue the
work he so nobly begun. And wo put
that mother tongue to a sacred use when
we utter the truthful words that theso

Sf.nsidle Youno Man. In the great;
ship-yard of Webb, tho famous master-1
builder, there works a young man whose
ather, one of theso days, in the course of
nature, will leave a fortune so large that
it would turn tho brain of an ordinary
roan to think of. This young apprentice
o the shipbuilding trade is the only heir.
He might wear fine cloth:s now, and
lavo his stable of fine horses, aod go all
he round of elegant pleasures, if he
would. But every morning he leaves his
athcr's splendid mansion on Twentieth
street, bright and early and joins the
throng of hurrying mechanics bound to
heir work. When, night comes he wash
es off the traces of work, and takes bis
position in society. Why he does it is
this : He wants a trade, so certain, so
well learned, that if the fine fortuno of
he father should ever take to itself wings,
bis own living in the world would be se
cured beyond question of doubt.

'Yes," was the immediate answer.
"Agreed," said the man ; "and is not

man, "pay mo ten. dollars', tor by your
own confession I have proved that this

MAY 8, 1869.
From the Chicago Trilunt, February 24.
A BUDGET OF MISDEEDS.
A somewhat complicated sensation, ia
volviog robbery, seduction and elopement
has recently come to the surface. In the
town of Simcook, New Hampshire, lives
au old man named hdiiott. Beiore the
occurence of tho unhappy events about
to be recorded, he lived with his son, an
estimable young man, who had but a year
before married a belle of the village.
llio sister of Llliott, a fascinating fe
male, also resided with him, and thus
was composed what ought to have been a
happy family circle. Two boarders were
taken some months ago, by the family
and they are responsible for this domes
tie tompest. Their names are Nash, alias
Larkin, and ono Urcen. The former be
came very iutimato with the sister, anc
Mrs. Elliott and Green entertaining sen
timents for each other not exactly in ac
cording with propriety. The four at last
formed a plan to rob old mau Elliott and
elopo. Larkin took Mr. Elliott to Boston,
while the other guilty couple remained
to 'sec the fun" at the homestead, in the
meantime preparing to embark. Larkin
stayed in Boston for two days and then
dcxerted his inamorata returning to Sim-
cock, were, to his surprise, ho met Green
and Mrs. h. at the depot. Sending Green
off on sotno errand, be stepped aboard the
train with tho lady and came with her to
Chicago. Poor urcen went to St. Al
bans, Vt., where ho was soon arrested
The polico author't'es here were notified
that the guilty couplo were in Chicago,
and on Sunday last detective Ellis arrest
ed Larkin. Mrs. Eliiott getting dhrgust-
ea wuii ner uargin. leu lor nomc some
... 1 . t e. r- m
days oio, and upon arriving at Concord,
N. II., en route, was arrested. The
Sheriff from Stmcock is in this city, and
will soon return with his man.
DEMORALIZATION OF THE DAY
During the war, when a regiment or a
brigade behaved badly in the field, it was
said to be "demoralized. The word in
this way became the polite for panic
stricken, as retreat is for flight. Finally,
it degenerated into a jocular by-word, and
pultroonry in general was sarcastically char
actcrized as "demoralization." But since
then crirr.e and immo a'ity htvo made
such rapid and alarming progress in civil
life, that tho term in its most serious and
solemn sense is scarcely adequate to ex
press tho existing subversion of moral
principle, and the indifference, not to say
tolerance, with which viee and villainy
are regarded by a large portion cf the
community. It is a painful thing to say
so; but never, within our recollection.
were the requirements of public decency
so daringly disregarded, or glaring viola
lions of law committed with the same im-
. a . m
puntty. or rascalities oi every type so
rcad'Jy condoned, as they cro at the prcs
cut time.
Twenty-five years ago people talked sc
riously and reprehensivcly of high crimes
and misdemeanors. Now, as a general
rule, they speak of them jestingly ; and
as for social convivialty, it is a standing
subject for badinage. So we go the
wrong w.y ; and wo are traveling in that
direction pretty fast. Society stands in
great need of rational reformers; but we
have few of that sort, though of fanatics
aod visionaries, with newfangled schemes
for social improvement, Heaven knows
we have more than enough. Ex.
NIXTY 9IIXEM AX IIOl'R.
One of the most interesting fruits of
the attention now paid to the velocipede
is a new invention just made by two in-
genius mechanics of this city, of which
we yesterday examined a model. It is a
monocyclc, or single machine, consisting
of a wheel eight feet in diameter, with a
tire some six inches wide, or two narrow
tires on its outer edges, with two sets of
spokes connecting with a double center
which fills tho place of a hub, tho two
sides of which are some two feet and a
half apart. The operator is in tho mid
dle, and propels the wheel by a simple,
yet curious apparatus in which both his
weight and his muscle are brought into
play. Any more precise description
would manifestly be out of place until
tho patent has been issued. The inven
tors anticipate that their machine will ex
ceed in swiftness every other device of
the kind. They do not think that sixty
miles an hour on a smooth road will bo
impossible. AT. Y. Sun.

zette relates the following incident :
Henry Marvin, of this village, is wide

in tho country. It seems not long since,
he was caned upon to exercise nis voca
tion at a placo near Onondaga Hill.

extensively on her many excellences in
the customary vernacular of an experi

our friend Marvin, whose legs werotweive
inches longer than his pants, approached
the heifer, and commenced handling her
teats. Bossy, not relishing such famili

sprawling some ten feet off.
"There," said Henry, "that shows one
of best traits; she'll never allow a strange

Ciieyenne-Its Wonderfully Rapid
Growth. One of the most notable ex
amples of rapid growth in recent times is
furnished in the case of the infant city cf
Cheyenne, Wyoming Territory. On the
4th of July, it consisted of a single house.
Now it boasts of a population of 7,000.
It has six boot and shoe stores, five drug
stores, . fivo wholesale groceries, three
hardware and cutlery stores, four station-
cry and Yankee notion firms, six whole
sale liquor dealers, and four cigar and to
bacco stores besides twelve other firms
engaged in various branches of business.
There are four hotels, eight lawyers,
seven physicians, in the place. Four pa
pers, three daily and one weekly are pub
lished in Cheyeane. The Union Pacific
Railroad passes through it and several
mcs of. telegraph radiate from it. It
contains one very fino church (Catholic),
and three or lour denominations aro
about to erect houses of worship. For
merly, when the Union Pacific Railroad
had ita terminus there, the town was
overrun with disreputable women to the
number of five hundred or more, but a
arge propotion of them havo followed the
road to its next terminus. The youthful
city, supports a large number of gambling
;iells, several dance houses, a museum
and theatre, all in full blast. The Union
Pacific Company are building machine
shops there, when completed, will employ
somo five thousand hands. The ranch
men, farmers, miners and stockmen of
Idaho, Utah, Montana, Nevada, Dakota,
and Oregon buy the bulk of their goods
at Cheyenne. Twenty-one firms there

property sells for $100 a foot. Such aro
the magical effects of railroad enterprises
on a grand scale in tho West.
