In the Spring of 1 296 Scotland groan- x uuuer uw yoice 01 toe JttlBliah VA. ward. ' King Baliol was a prisoner, and JauKumu 8 SUnremaCV was eetnnrolo.ll by all the Scottish nobles, save the youthful Sir WUliam, who lived seclud- ea in the glen of Ellerside with his oeautitui bnde Manon, whom he had tenderly loved from his ohilrlhiwl Suddenly summoned to Doutrlas Castle a small iron box left with Dougkvi by the captive Baliol. was confided toWnf. lace's care, with the charge: "It will be at the peril of his soul who dares to open it until Scotland be again freer Kewrnmir home, he rescued the earl ot Mar from a throng of merciless Eng lish soldiers, killed Arthur Heselrigge, their leader, and narrowly escaped with his own life. Pursued to EUeraiile bv the enraged English, the wounded Earl was hidden in a dry well, Wallace climbed into an oak, and Marion con cealed herself in a thicket. The search being Wned, Wallace hastened to hide himself among the Cartlane crags, but the next day Governor Heselrigge, Ar thur's uncle, came and violently de manded: . "Where is Sir William Wallacer Lady Marion remained silent. "Speak, woman! If you refuse, vou die! "Then I die," she answered, "and may heaven preserve toy Wallace from the fangs of Edward and his tyrants?' "Blasphemous wretch!" cried Hesel rigge, plunging his sword into her de fenseless breast. "My Wallace-to God!" murmured Marion, as another fiendish stroke reached her heart, and her pure spirit fled to Heaven. An aged sen-ant escaped to Cartlane crags with the heartbreaking news. "Uh, my murdered wile! my unborn babe!" cried the agonized Wallace. Give me power, Almighty Judge, to avenge this angel's blood, and then take me to .Thyself! Gathering a band of sixty brave Lan- arkers, Wallace fell like a thunder-bolt on Heselrigge's fortress and slew the wretch with the same bloody sword that had ended Marion's life. "So fall the enemies of Wallace," ied his exulting followers. "Rather so fall the enemies of Scot land," he replied. "To work our coun try's freedom, who will follow me)" "All! With Wallace torovcrr The first nobleman to join this daring j usade was the rescued Earl of Mar. I But he was speedily captured and Both- well Castle was seized by the Scotch Lord Soulis and the English Aymer de Valence, bot h of whom sued in vain for the hand of the Earl's daughter, the lovely Helen Mar. Dreading their vio lence, she escaped with her cousin An drew Murray by a secret passage to the priory ot St Fulans. iter father and his wife were confined at Dumbarton Castle, Wallace and a few followers were hemmed in on the Cartlane crags by swarms of English soldiers, and Lady Helen, decoyed from the priory, fell into the hands of the brutal Soulis. Crossing the mountains by night, he sought to take the utmost advantage of his helpless prisoner, whose hand was raised to save her honor by plunging a knife into her own breast, when an un known knight suddenly fell upon Soulis, wounded him severely, and spirited Lady Helen away to a hermit s cell. The strange knight concealed his name, but both Helen and the hermit believed him to be young Robert Bruce. Wallace, meanwhile, eluded his pur suers, joined nis sienaer iorces wnn those of Andrew Murray and a few other fearless Scots, and marched to at tack Dumbarton Castle. By night the patriots scaled its wails, cut down the English garrison, and planted the royal Scottish standard upon the citadel. The Earl of Mar was released, and Ed ward Ruthven, his nephew, a lad of fif teen, was knighted for his bravery by Wallace, to whom he attached himself with more than a brothers devotion. The Earl's wife, Helen's young step mother, was seized with a passion for Wallace, whose coldness only served to increase her guilty love, bhe persus't- ed him to escort the earl and herself to Rothsay Castle in the Isle of Bute, where she shamelessly petitioned. ' 'Only give me leave to love thee, and I shall be happy!" He had scarcely finished rebuking her when a messenger arrived with the news that Wallace s grandfather and twenty other Scottish chiefs had been treacher ously murdered at Ayr! Tlii. arm shall show how I loved that good old man!" crie.l the ahiicted TV.lLro. n l hiMteuind to D.iui'.rton, he gathered Uis forces and marched in stantly on Ayr. The palace was seized and surrounded with combustibles, ana Wttllnce. tearinff off part of the root, himself with a flaming brand in his hand to the affrighted revelers with in. and cried aloud, as he throw it among them: I "The blood of tho murdered calls for vengeance, and it comes!" Hundreds perished in the flames and by the sword, hundreds more surrender ed, and a long train of captive chiefs found release. Castle after castle fell in rapid succession before the valor of Woiw n,l at last Berwick was be- .,,.1 taken. At the height ot this victory a letter from Helen aiar informed Wallace that she and her par ents were prisoners at Sterling, and that the Earl's life was in deadly peril .hall he on mv knees," she wrote, "till I hear your trumpet before the walls, for in yon and heaven now rest all the hope of Helen Mar." Another swift march and fierce attack instantly followed. But while victory 1 hnnir in the balance sixty uaroui glijh were marcmng on r. f fir. thousand. The first divi- .;,,' of twmtv thousand men essayed to cross the Fro'tH by a bridge, the beams - &y v v NT i ,j ()0 ALBANY, OREGON, of which the Scots had previously sawed. By suddenly pulling this down a multi tude were whelmod in tho stream, and the rest, attacked both front and rear, were soon overwhelmed. The savaeo valor of Wallace's followers so dismayed the English that the remaininir fortv thousand men ,laid down their arms without a blow! Tho citadel of Sterling surronaereu at once, and the Earl of Alar, his wife, and the lovely Helen, were again set iree. In the rejoicings over this trinm-.ih. Helen was amazed to find in Sir Wil liam Wallace the knight who had res cued her from the fierceSoulw, and for whom her heart had cherished a nore though hidden aftecioii. Knowing his devotion to the memory of Marion she felt herself destined only to such love as a nun feels for her heavenly preserver. But her step-mother's wicked passion burned with renewed fierceness, and she plotted to win Wallace's reaml and make him King of Scotland, hoping inus, at tier nusbandji jteata, to gmtity both her love and her ambition as Wal lace's wife. But he repelled her wicked advances, refused the crows, and con sented only to act as Regent of Scotland, till Bruce should resume the throne. Among his prisoners was the treacher ous Aymer de Valence, who, full of jeal ous envy against Wrllaco, sought to stab him in the chapel, whither Helen had gone to pray for his safety. A dead ly stroke meant for him pierced Helen's arm, but de Valence's villainy was gen erously forgiven. War being resumed after an exchange of captives, the English Percy was rout ed and Northumberland was sacked from sea to sea by the victorious Scots. King Edward then marched in person to subdue the insurgents, but in the opening battle between hint and Wal lace, the amazed King found himselt obliged to retreat for tho first time in his life. In this very hour of triumph, envy and treason began to plot the ruin of Wallace. A plan to surrender Dun bar was unmasked by the adroitness and bravery of Helen Mar; Edward in vaded Scotland with a hundred thous and men; Wallace's authority was bit terly disputed by traitors, and on the field of Falkirk his army was nearly crushed. But, gathemig his scattered forces, he fell by night upon the English camp, and rested not till he had driven Edward and his scattered host far over the border. Many a brave Scot was slain in the struggle, and Helen Mar was captured by tho ruthless Aymer de Valence. "Swear to mo, valiant Wallace," ejac ulated her grief-stricken father, "that you will rescue my Helen." "So help me hoaven! answered Vt al- lace, looking steadfastly upwards. Resigning his Regency Boon after, to quell the dissensions caused by envy of his glory, he disguised himself as a minstrel and traveled to tno luigiish court at Durham m search of Helen. Here he met young Robert Bruce, whom Edward held a prisoner, and even dared to play before the king and Queen Mar garet, whose admiration of the strange minstrel excited Edward's raging jeal ousy, which was not allayed until Wal lace, escaping to France, sont him a letter declaring the queen's perfect In nocence, f ollowed soon by ifruco, the two traced Aymer de Valence to a castle near Rouen, where Wallace soon pene- teated to Helens prison chamber, lie found her sleeping and murmuring in her dreams, " Save me, Wallace ! Dressed in u page s suit, which he had provided for her, the once moro happy Helen safely escaped from her biwrflens captor, and journeyed with Wallajo and Bruce to Paris, where the French king treated them all with the utmost kindness. Returning at last to Scotland with their fair oompanion, the chiefs thought it prudent to pass ai two brothers. Ciuy and Thomas de Lougue- ville. Joining thus with their country men in battle against an overwhelming English force tho Scot were on the point of retreating, when defeat was changed to triumph by the supposed Ouy, who raised his helmet and shout ed, " Scots, if you be men, follow Wil liam Wallace to victory I" This success reestablished his author ity, and again he devoted himself to ex pelling the English from Scotland. But an unknown knight who had joined his train and fought by his able, suddenly proved to be the Countess of Mur, whose husband was now dead, and who ought in this disguise to win Wallace I regard. Firmly repulsed by him, her passion turned to hate, and plucking his dagger from his girdle she stuck it into his breast, though not with fatal effect. Her eyes glared with maniac fury, and she exclaimed : "Insolent triumpher, it fe not for the dead Marion you have trampled on my heart, but for the living Helen!" 'I pardon this outrage," said Wal lace: "go in peace, only remember, that with regard to Lady Helen, my wishes are as pure as her own innocence. "I go," cried sBe, "to yield tho rebel Wallace to the scaffold! My curse pursue you here and hereafter!" Too well she kept hor word, for upon charges of treason preferred by her, Wallace was arrested and brought to Sterling, where the wretched woman sought by the most shameless preujdices to swear away his honor and his life. While his enemies were quarreling over the charges, an English army advanced into Scotland with such resistless strides that bis very accusers were comiwlled to solicit him to resume the command. On the pland of Dalkeith he conquered again, but his malignant rivals once more combined with King Edward ,lo crush him forever.

At Bancockburn the power of Edward was broken and the Countess of Alnr, baffled by Bruce's triumph, became a raving maniac. Upon the day of Bmoe's coronation the body of William Wallace was return ed to his native land. Over his ooflin the mysterious iron box, confided to his care tho day ' he rescued the Earl of Mar, was oiiened, and found to contain the regalia of Scotland. Tho pale, yet beautiful Holen, clad in a, nun's'black vestments, knelt by the bier as the crown was placed on Bruce s head.

THE SILENT CAPTAIN. , low SteucWAll Jackson slept III Hluanlar , Bclleencc, (i'l. li-,1 IXm-lTn lu the I'liil. My Tiiua.) General Jackson's troops and lie. enomy s behoved ho never ulept : ::;o fact is, ho slept a great deal. When ever he had nothing else to do, he went to sleep, especially in elimvli. 1 re member during the invasion f .Mary land, on Sunday night lie rodu tlueo miles in an ambulance to nil end church in Fredorick, and then fell n deep as soon as tho minister began to pivneli ; his head fell upon his breast, mi l he never awoke until aroused by tho organ and choir. Ho could sleep- nnywheie and in any position, sitting in his cliitii-, under fireT'or on horseback. On a night march toward Richmond, after tho bat tles with MoClellan, he was riding along with his drowsy staff, nodding mid slee' - mg as he went. We passed by groups of men sitting along the roadside and engaged in roasting new corn by fires nutdgjjf fence rails. One group took us for cavalry-men, with an inebriated cap tain, and ono of the party, delighted at tho sight of a man who had found whisky enough to be drunk, siniing up from the fire, and, brandishing u masting ear in his hand, leaped down into the road, and seizing the general's horso, cried out, "I say, old fellow, where the devil did you get yotir liquor?" In ifn instant, as the general awoke, the fellow saw his mistake, and then bounding from the road be took the fence at a single leap, exclaiming, "Hood God, it's old Jack !" and disappeared in the dark ness. Yes, Gen. Jackson Hlept a great deal, but ho was never caught napping. He gave to sleep many moments which other men would have given to conver sation. He was essentially a silent man; not morose, but quiet. Ho smiled often, rarely laughed. 1 le never told a joke, but did not discourage them in others, and it one struck his peculiar fancy, he would smile in mild approval. He did not live apart from his stalf,bitt liked to have theui about him, nud they were ncnrly all very young men. Uni versally polite in manner, he encouraged the liveliest conversation among them, although he took little part in it. He was not a man of words ; they seemed to embarrass him. When he hud ideas, he put thorn into action, not into words. His military dispatches were at brief as if studied like the one ho sent after the defeat of Milroy: "God blessed ou arm with victory at McDowell roster day." He never discussed his plans; indeed he never told them. Tho next oflicer under him never knew his inten tion or object. He never volunteered his opinion to his 8Urior, nor asked advice of his subordinates. Ho was ns Bclf-rcliant as he was silent, and be lieved "he wnlks with speed who, walks alone." Ho was reticent to a fault. " If my coat kuew what I intcuiled to do, I'd take it off and throw it away," was cne cf hi saying--.. This reticriico often lei to complaint and unbai i-UM-nient from the officer net in command, and might have led to disaster in ciu-wj of his death; but he evidently thought it better to run that rink than the risk of having his plans discovered.

Mi: Editor: Thinking that perhaps a short article from Sodiville, written by a stranger, would !si appreciated by many of your renders who are personally interested in llirt flovelopment?of this place, destined to beceme at an early day a place of much resort for invalids ns well as pleiisino-soekei's, I have penned the fol lowing; For the benefit of thoso unacquainted with the location of this beautiful sum mer retreat, with its life-giving fountain, lot me first de- eribe the place and loca tion. Sodavillo is a pieasuut village of some 25 or 30 buildings. Prominent among them are two stores, one kept by Mr. D. Foot, the other by Mr. E. Frnm. Theso gentlemen keep constantly on hand such articles as are best suited to the wants of the peoplo here, and of those, who, for a time, come here and pitch their tent. The Fountain House, kept in metropolitan style by the gen tlemanly proprietor, Mr. A. Foot, is a home for thoso who come hither in deli cate health, no pains being spared to mako it comfortable and pleasant for all of this class; whilo other guests receive every attention due from a first class hotel. The table is supplied with the best tho market will afford at all sea sons, wliilcho Livoryo & Food stable kept by the same gentleman is always at the servico of guests, and the trawl ing public at reasonable rates. There is also a first-clnss butcher shop, kept by Mr. Job, Miller, where first-clius meats of all kinus can bo had at reason able rates. The balance of tho town fur the most pert is composed of residences; not costly by any means, but nent, com fortable cottages, occupied principally by families who have oomehcre for their hculth, preferring health In quiot re tirement, to aches and pains incident to city life or a rcsulenoo in the malarial districts associated with river bottoms. Prominent among theso we may men tion the numes of Messrs. 'fhos. Sum mers, M, Vandcrpool, D. Pcebler, S. Ilnrdniiin, R Frnm, D. Foot, O, Fry, R. IVivott nud others whom we have not termed tho acquaintance of. Mr. Win. I'unirli l,m recently oouie among us, and at present is erecting a nunibot of houses for tho pvrjiosp, we under iiiand, of renting them to parties desir ing a residence hero, Mr. P. with his well -known spirit of ontcrpriso is sup plying a want long felt by tho jieople hero. No lieltor-tocation can be found in Oregon to-day, for a few good enterpris ing business men men who have means to carry on the mercantile business can do do here v.ith profit. There is a heavy ti n le here if it was only kept at home, this can be done by men who will sell nt as low a figure as they do in Albany or LcImiiou. Taking into consideration the absence of city tapes, the difference in rents, with little or no necessity for insurance, and it will far moro than pay transportation on goods from depot or wliiirf, and enable them to sell at even a lower figure with profit, than in either of the above- named places. The present notoriety of Sodavillo is chiefly due to the existence of an inex haustible spring of mineral water, rival ing the famous Saratoga Springs of N, Y., and combining the following proper ties according to an analysis made by the class in Analytical Chemistry, of the Agricultural College, Corvallis, Oregon. SOI1AVII.I.K WATER, "An analysis of the mineral water at Sodavillo, near Lebanon, revealed the presence of the following constituents: Tho rarer constituents, Iodine, Bromine and Lithia liav'c not been sjiocially test ed for. Tho method used is that of Dr. Frcsim-rs.
