"Beware!" said Frank's sister, one afternoon when they were alone. "Bella Davis is a coquette. She will amuse herself with you for awhile, and then discard you." r . "Perhaps," said , Frank, smiling, "she is a coquette ; but it' she is nut devoid of a heart, she can be made to love." ';jfi ., Yon are no judge of women, or vou would not speak so about Bella l)avU," said his sister. "If she pos sessed a noble heart, she could not trifie with tbe afleclions of men, Now, dear brother, take the advice of a sister, and bestow your atlucUous ou one more worthy. Who knows how many victims she has in Paris, w here she has been spending the last four years Frank's face looked troubled. Oth ers had been led on by Bella Davis' winning ways, and were then cast otf without a reason ; and perhaps the very same futo was iu store iof him. "Much a Lvalue a sister's love, I cannot sive Bella up until I know her to be false. I love and adore her; from the time I first looked upon her face, 1 have not, for a moment, ceas ed to think of her. and I cannot no, I will not, cease to adore, until I have Bounded the depths of her love." It was on a beautiful summer even ing that Frank Savage, with Bella leaning upon his arm, strolled down to the sea shore. "Bella," said Frank, and he looked down at the rolling sea, as if to gath er words from the restless waves, "do you reallv love nier' "Oh, Frauk! How can you how dare you ask such a question : 'I have reasons," was the cold re sponw. ' "Did I ever give you cause to think so?". And Bella turned her blue eyes up to see the euect ot her answer. The color of his cheeks grew deep er. "And have you thus trifled with my love?" - '-o : out i tnougnt you .under stood me, Frank. Are you really se rious .' "Would I ask such a question for mere amusement? No; I have wor shipped you, but I have loved blind ly." Ui turned from her; but she clung to hirn, and begged, with tearful eyes, that he would not leave tier. It was late when they returned from their evening walk, and Frank was happy in the thought of soon leading lklla to the altar. It was soon whispered that Frank Savage and Bella Davis were betroth ed, those who knew the coquette best, thought it to be one of her many flirtations. Another month, and Frank Savage and Ifabeila Davis would be man and wife. But, alas ! for human hopes." One evening, while Frank wan sit ting in his room, quietly reading, . he was aroused by a loud rap at the door, and, without rising, bade the appli cant enter. 1 The door opened, and a stranger entered, r rom outward ap pearances, one would judge him to be a loreigner. 1 he stranger, on enter ing, bowed, and addressing the occu pant of the room, asked him if . his name was Savage "It is," was the answer. "I have another question to ask," said the stranger. .... . . "i roceea, and i will use my own judgment as to answering." "Is it true that you are soon to wed .Miss Bella Davis?" "That is my business, sir; but if it interests you in any manner, 1 can say that 1 expect to have that honor." The face of the stranger turned to marble whiteness, and lor a moment he stood motionless. It was for moment only, however. Taking from his pocket a letter, he gave it to Frank, remarking, at the same time, that Miss Davis had plighted her troth to him. "But if you are a man of honor,' said the stranger, - addressing Frank "you will not hesitate to risk your life to possess her. The stranger banded Frank his card and was about to take his leave, when Savage said "1 am no coward ; but it is useless to risk or take a life until I have proof of Bella s unfaithfulness , 1 he stranger bowed, and promia ing to call on the following evening. be toot his leave. Frank went immediately in search of Miss Davis. Although the hour i was late, Bella had not retired, and he soon found himself alone with her. She greeted him with a smile all lovers were treated to that luxury but her smiles soon disappeared when he made known the object of his visit to her. ... ...... ,' ' "Bella," he said, "when I asked you for your hand, I did not dream that it was then plighted to a rival claimant.. But I have in my possession a .letter, written by you, in which you promise to wed another." ' : " Had a bomb shell burst at her feet, it could" not , have astonisbe'd, , her more.. , -The color vanished from her cheeks; and she sank, , trembling,' into a chair.. ' ' , '. ' "Oh. Bella !" continued Faank, "I did not think this of you. I turned a deaf ear to those who chose to tell me of your falseness. I loved you fondly, aud this is my reward ! Nothing now remains to mo but to bid you a " last good-bye." 'y ; ;; y '. .'" . He stooped to imprint upon her cheek a farewell kiss ; she clung to him, and 'begged and ' pleaded with him not to leave , her; , but he tore himself from her embrace, and he was gone from her sight forever. They next morning found frank ALBANY, OREGON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 20, Savage ou his way to a foreign coun try. He had enlisted iu the French army, rose to the rank of Colonel, . . ... ..a a 1 and died lighting at the heau oi his regiment. 1 " I s t :f t:- Ve ranst sav a few words as to tho fate of the coquette. ' ? There now stands, .near tho spot where Isabella Davis plighted her troth to Frank Savage, a small house. The fierce winds of forty .winters, aud the scorching sun of as many sum mers, have made sad havoo with its outward appearance. The once proud and petted' child of - fortune, the fairest of the air, tho favorite of the ball-room, where beauty had brought a score of lovers at her feet, is the lonely occupant oi tuo oia house. T1j hair that oncn fell in golden curls over her shoulders, is now reduced to a few silvery threads, and time has furrowed deep ridges in the once rosy cheek ; the form that was once pointed out as a model ; of beauty, now leans on a stall lor mip- Jort. Her home is cheerless, and her ircside unoccupied ; life to her is do void of charm ; weary of the world, and unknown to its enjoyment, she lives, and with benumbed lingers, and a chill old age, has reason to lament her indiscretions. So ends the story of Isabella Davis, the coquette. ' From the Davenport Democrat SIAUttlED FOIt BOTH WOIIXUN There is a romance about the histo- rory of Mrs. Wallace, whose remains are to be brought here from Philadel phia, which exceeds the impossible in cidents of fiction, as far as truth does its counterfeit. Many of our old set tlers will remember the father of this lady, who was a wealthy banker of our city. Although it was never made prominently public, it was known that he was a scion of the blood royal of France, and by right entitled to the rank of Duo du San Domingo. On the fourth ot November, 1841, the Due de Joinville visited Davenport, and stayed some days at the old IC Clair House. Ostensibly on a tour to see the western country, the real ob ject of his visit was to speud a day or two with his royal cousin, sometime afterwards Mr. Macktet gave up the banking business, and the quiet Dav enport citizen might have Wen seen in all the insignia of his rank at the royal parties given at the halls of the Tuilcries or the saloons of Versailles. The lady whose recent death was re corded yesterday was the daughter of this prince.- Lon the death of her husband, Mr. Wallace, she refused for two years al consolation, and lived the life of a recluse in the houne now occupied by Geo, II. French, F-sq. Here she had a room fitted up iu fu neral style; a portrait of her husband draped in crape was the only orna ment, before which was placed a small altar and a vrle illea. Mrs. Wallace never left this room, but dressed in a black serge gown with wimple and white hood, spent her time in constant devotion before the painting of , her loved and lost one. Once only, in the depth of winter, she was missed, and after a long search discovered almost frozen, prone upon the marble slab which covered Ins remains, and be dewing the icy stone with her tears. Her child was carefully nursed and when it cried was taken to her room for its natural food and a mother's care, Upon the termination of the two years she again sought the world in wbu-h she reigned a queen ol fashion until the death of her nephew agaiq drove her into the solitude of the mourning chamber lor a similar peri od. , Her mother having removed to Philadelphia some live years ago, was accompanied by Mrs. Wallace, who from that period to her death, was the solace of an affectionate . parent, whose years border on eighty. Her sorrow for her deceased husband nev er healed, and now her remains are on their way to rest beside the one she loved, and truly proved that as a true women she was indeed married for both worlds. . , Tee. Tribune says the expenses of the Federal Government for the last fiscal year were only 8292,000,000, and speaks of that immense sum as if it was a matter to be proud of. But when Buchanan's administration ex pended $60,000,000 in a year, the Re publican press of the country made "Home howl" at the alleged Demo cratic extravagance, , ' .' -The Direct Federal Tax imposed upon our tax-ridden people for , the fiscal year ending June 30, : 1871, was Three , Hundred and : JZifjldy-three Million, Three Hundred Thousand, Nine Hundred and Forty-four Hol lars I a million and a large fraction for every day in the year, Sundays in cluded. (, This is what the Tribune calls a good showing. It shows the old story of bleeding the people to tbe utmost, with very poor returns. Adding other Federal exactions, the tax last year was at least $400,000,000. N. Y. Express. . . . ! Ah exchange expresses a doubt as to Fisk'B ability to "keep a hotel."

' A very romantic case is now pend ing in London, and the facts are suffi ciently important to justify a special reference to the !roceodings. The hackneyed expression that "truth is stranger than liction' receives a singu- J lar exemplification iu the cane refer red to. Indeed there, are few mod ern romances in which. the details are so Ingeniously introduced as in tho trial of the suit in question. The facts are-briefly these : Uogcr , Tichborne, son of Sir J. F, S. Tichborne, Baronet, now deceased,' was born in France in 1827. ' He ' was educated by the Jesuits at Omer; .' he afterwards ; re ceived a military education, procured a commission, entered , tho British army and served in various regiments for some time. , Being of a roving aud generally worthless disposition, he threw up his comission in 1853 and departed for; South America He was heard of at Valparaiso, at San tiago and other points and, it is claimed that ho wrote several letters home and sent pictures, curiosities, etc. In April 1854, he was heard of on the ship JiluncJie bound from Uio de Ja neiro to New York, tho worthy Uogcr being drunk at the time. The Jilanche went down- at sea and was never seen more.' One of her boats was afterwards picked up empty, but no survivor was discovered. , Sir Roger Tichborne was considered a dead man ; the will made before he left Kuropo was proved, and his fath er having died, the title and estates passed to Sir Alfred Tichborne, the second son. In 1HGG Sir Alfred died, and shortly after his death a son was born, who, it is said, is the rightful heir. In 1858 a sailor appeared in Loudou and told the Tichborne family that he had heard a boat's crew from a ship supposed to be the jilancuf, had been brought into Mel bourne, -Australia. In 18C0 the old lady Tichborne received a letter from a person iu New South Wales declar ing him to be the missing Sir lioger, and her-son. He stated that he had been picked up after the Ions of the JJUimzhe. and had been living all the time iu Australia under an assumed name. Assisted by the old lady this 1erson made his way to Paris, met ter -and was recognized by her as her long lost; son. She made a deposi tion on the subject in the following strong and decided language : "I ant certain as 1 am of my own existence and distinctly and positive ly swear that the plaintiff is my first bora son, the issue of my marriage with Sir James Francis Doughty Tichborne (deceased.) His features, disposition and voice are unmistaka ble, and must, in my judgement, be recognized by impartial and unpreju diced persons who knew him before he left England in the year 1853." This jtrson now sues for what he claims are bis etatl4 and his titles as against the child now in possession. He evincus great familiarity with the private atRiirs of the Thichborne fami ly, and offers the following singular test: ' - . "lioger, before he quitted the coun try packed a number of documents in iu a sealed parcel which he left with Mr. (iotsford, the steward ot the Tich borne estates, with instructions to open it only in the event of bis death, and the claimant offers to state, the contents of that parcel in order to prove his identity." On tho other hand it is alleged that the claimant is an im poster; that he is a larger man than the missing Sir Uogcr was in 1854, that he cannot speak Freech at all, while Sir ltoger spoke it very fluently, and finally, that he is not SirHoger, but a butcher named Arthur Orton, or Houghton. Tho case excites great interest and diversity of opinion in London, so much bo that the jurors were obtained With great difficulty, and -at last the trial proceeded by consent with only nine jurors instead of twelve. THE ROYAL COW BRANCH. AT LONG The President's cow, .which he brotight from Washington, is the ob ject of a good deal of ' interest. 'I have bad the honor of seeing her, but have not had an opportunity of inter viewing her. However, I do chance to be in possession of some facts con-, cernirig her opinions on matters in general. , She is a small, sleek ammal, and is blooded, of course. , Her col or is significantly black, but she has a white line over her back, and her ma- j ternal bosom also does honor to the Caucasian race. On her arrival at Long Branch all the cows about here paid her the greatest respect. , Even now, as she passes along the road to and from ber pasture every night aud morning, all the cows in the adjoining fields regard her with envious respect. The multitude of local dogs,: which would very soon proceed to worry to death any other unprotected, kine Coming from abroad, skulk away from this cow queen, and dare not so much as to utter a growl. . None but the daintiest, of all flies aro permitted to ride on her neck. Mrs. Cow .is about five years Old, and has been married three times. ' 7 None of her ' ofl'spring, accompany her on this trip. She is fond of the Jersey red cloyer, . but dislikes the noise of the ocean. She is no bather. Having been reared in a rural district, she has never , learnt to swimJ v Mr. ' Urant s cow would like to see . him re-elected, ; which is very natural. She admires her, own er's pjuck, and his silence, whkh, in sures her against being scolded. She longs to be milked by his soft hands, and Only hates him for giving so much attention to eoarse vulgar,, hor-. se8. She does not believe one, word of the Ku Klux stories in the Trib une. (Zen; Porter has a cow also, but she is not allowed ' to associate with the President's. . ; Owing to her peoul iar notions abont family matters, this cow cannot become a mother before July. She prefers not to be annoyed by children during the gay season and makes her calculations accord' ingly. - '. ' r(pi)f (lf : 1 r 1871. A LITTLE ANKIft TAXCE. We , can judge of magnitude only by comparison, whether that magni tude relate to size .or numbers.- When we stated yesterday, that the expenses of the Federal Government, for tho last two years,: exceeded the sum of ope billion two hundred and eight-seven millions of dollars, few persons have any adequate idea of the magnitude of the sum. The mind cannot grasp it, any more than it can comprehend space or eternity; and hence the magnitude is .diminished from our very inability to compre hend it.' la order, therefore, to assist the mind iu comprehending the mag nitude of tho expenditures of the Government, we have devised a com parison, which we here give; .. , It was 1871 years, on the first of January last, since the birth of Christ. Now the expenditures of the Gov ernment for the two fiscal years, end ing on the fiscal year of June 30th, 180, largely exceeded in dollarsevery minute of the time since the birth of our Savior. That is to say, ascertain how many minutes there are in 1871 years, since Christ was born, and it will be found that the Government has expended, in two years, many more dollars than there are minutes of time in those years. ' The calcula tion is very simple. First, multiply 1871 years by SOS, the number of days m a year; then multiply the product by 24, the number of hours in a day; multiply this product by CO, tho number of minutes in an hour; and it will be found that the product is 'JH-SM'Jl fiiX) minutes. Now the gov ernment expended, in the two years named, according to the book sent us by our neighbor of the Oreyonian, 8 i,287,b85,848 i)0. To. show how much the expenditures , of the Gov eminent, in the two years, exceed the minutes of time since the birth of Christ, we have only4 to subtract1 the one from the other, thus : Money expended by Govern ment to two , ear .f 1,287,C85,83S 99 Minute of lime since the bir.B of t'urist ..... V93V7.600 00 SJli4,2S,238 w , Thus it will be seen that the ex penditures of the Federal Govern ment, in the last two fiscal years, ex ceed tbe minutes of time since the birth of our Savior, by the sum of more than three hundred and lour millions and a quarter. These facts and figures may assist the mind of some in estimating the magnitude of the expenditures oi the Government under "Radical rule.'', . . . ... i But apply the same . illustration to our national debt, and it w ill be found that we owe1 nearly three dollars for every minute of time that has passed since the birth of our Savior. It is dttlicult to ascertain precisely how much our public debt is, owing to the discrepeucy between the statements of tho different officers connected with tbe Treasury Department; but we 'will take tbe statement of Mr. Bout well, June 30, lSbU He says that our debt then was $2,480,072, 427 81. Now multiply, the minutes by 3, and it will be louud that the product exceeds our national debt by less than 500 millions. And so this comparison may assut us in compre hending not only the magnitude oi the uovcrument expenses, but also the magnitude of our public debt. In the face of these startling facts, our neighbor complacently talks about " Republican economy" paying Hlb millions of the debt in two years! Such "economy" as we have shown that the Radicals practice, is enough to swamp any people on earth, and will result in general ruin-and bank ruptcy one of these days, or make us all the plactical slaves of those who hold tho Government bonds. Oregon Herald, i ; - - ' MARK TWAIN OS DLERS. CAR FED. .' And there were the peddlers.

NO. 10. From Triton's Life of Victoria Woodhull. ' TILTO.Vft' WOODIICXL. I mast say something of her ' per sonal appearance, although it defies portrayal, whether by photograph or pen. Neither tall nor short,, stout nor slim', she is of medium stature, litbe and elastic, free and graceful. Her side face, looked at over her left shoulder, is of perfect acquiline out line, as classic as ever went into Ro man marble, and resemble the tna-.k of Shakespeare taken . after death; the same jview, looking' from the right is a little broken and irregular; and the front face , is broad, with prominent cheek-bones,, and with some unshapely nasal lines. Her countenace is never twice alike, so dependent on her moods: 3 Her soul comes into it; and goes oat of it, giv ing her at one time the look of a su perior aud alinowt saintly intelligence, and at another leaving her dull, common-place and unprepossessing. When under a strong spiritual influ ence, a strange and mystical 'light irridates from htr face, reminding tbe beholder of the Hebrew law-giver, who gave to men what he received from God, ond whose face, during the transfer, shone. , Tennyson, as with the hand of a gold-beater, has beautifully gilded the same expres sion in his stanza of St. Stephen, the martyr, in the article of death: ''And looking upward, fall of grace, :. lie praytd, and from a happy place, God's story smote him on tne face." r ..... - in conersmg, until sue is some what warmed with earnestness, ' she halts, as if her mind were elsewhere, but tbe moment she brings all her faculties to her lips for the full utter ance of her mcesage, whether it be of persuasion or indignation, and par ticularly when under spiritual con trol, she is a very orator for eloquence pouring forth her sentences like a morntain stream, sweeping away everything that frets its flood. - - Her hair, which, when left to.itaelf. is as long as those tresses of Hortense in which her son Louis Napoleon used to play hide-and-seek, she now mer cilessly cuts close like a boy s, from impatience at the daily waste of time and suitably taking care of this prod- igai gut oi nature. Sue can nue a horse like an Indian. and climb a tree like an athlete; she can swim, row a boat, play billiards. and dance, moreover, as the crown of her physical virtues, she can walk all day like an Englishwoman. A MIRACLE IX ROME. The age of miracles is not vet past, n the story ol the inking irgin which comes from Rome, be true. The story goes that near the tomb ofJ a recently deceased and most exem lary lady in the Church of St. Cns- ogono a picture of Our Lady hangs ; and about a month ago certain worshipers were astonished beyond measure to see the painted eyes,' the ids of which drooped low, open wide aud look at them. r When the news of this strange occurrence spread, there was no little curiosity to visit the church" and see if tbe miracle would be repeated. I The consequence of this was that tbe priests took the picture away and locked it up in their con vent.1 ' 1 he free-thinking eclesiastics either disbelieved that a miracle had taken place, or- b-eaded the scandal likely to attach to tbem in the . opm ion of their brothers if they should al ow it to continue. But above the door of the house of charity adjoining the church there is a fresco of the Virgin and child, and no sooner had the picture within the church been withdrawn man tne miracle, was re peated in the fresco. The fresco is on solid wan, which lact removes all suspicion .of trickery, as. it is im possible to manipulateit by" means of wires r or other machinery.. .Before this miraculous fresco crowds accum ulate daily, and there are said to be fifty thousand persons who have reg istered, a declaration that; they have witnessed ) this wonderful wiuking image. ; l he real facts in the case are involved in nfjtervj dor as yet no dne has attempted explain or pre sumed to deny the phenomenon. - f 'It Might Have Been." We hear a great deal about -this phrase, ."It might have been. -. , . .., Sentimental youths and love-lorn lassies, growling bid bachelors and "picky" old spinsters, all join in this contemptible whine, It might, have been;" but the words have another meaning well worth looking for, too. Instead of mourning over the irre trievable past, and sighing. "It might have been better," we should do a far more sensible thing if we picked up our crumbs, and said : 5It might have been worse. ... - . Taking , time through, there , isn't more cause for sorrow than joy. and all bitter complaining only brings us so' much the more. 6peedily to that place which is - the quintessence ' of everything doleful., -, .. . . .

Man must have occupa tion or be ' miserable. Toil is the price of sleep and appetite, of health and enjoyment. The very -necessity which overcomes our natural sloth is a blessing.
