At Chicago, last week, n rather amusing scene took place du ring the baptism of a young lady by the pastor cf the Tabernacle. The Union says ; "The minister requested her to assume thy dress peculiar to such au occasion, but alio declined to tako off her hooped skirt ; tho minister told her of tho inconvenlenco that must result from her obstlusncy, but eho persisted. When she came to deecend into the bath, tho inflated skirt touched, the wa ter .and rose up around her like a balloon. Her head was lost to the congregation, sho was swallowed up In the swelling skirt, the minister tried to force her donn into the bath, but she was kept above the burfuco by tho floating properties of Ihe crinoline, and was Vuoycd up to successfully that it wis not uutll after much dlfDeulUJSsLrnany forcible attempts to (ubmergeHw, the minister succeeded In buplizingls)rralr one.

Wc aro Indebted nt a late hour before go ing to press, to borne gcutleman tit VuticMi vtr for n copy of tho following loiter, which was written by an officer engaged In the battle, to n friend nt Vancouver, giving tho details of tho light. From our knowledge of tho writer, and the source from which we get It, wo have no doubt but that this letter gives a true statement of tho details of the battle. It will ba read with Interest by all who desire to know the facts in the case. On the 7th Inst., Col. Stcploe, with 0, E and II cempsnlcs 1st Dragoons, and twenty live men of Oth Infantry, with two moun tain howltscrs, left Fort Walla Walln for Colvllle. The officers of tho command wero Col. Stcptoc, Capts. Winder and Taylor, Lleuts. Wheeler, Fleming, flaston, and Gregg. After marching eight dnys we reached the l'elouie river, nnd were about passing Into the Spokan country when we were Informed by Indians that tho Spokane would resist our entrance. Tho Spokans havo always been regarded as friendly to the whites, and when wo left Wnlln Wnlla no one thought of having an encounter cither with thtro or any other Iodlans on tho march. On Sumlity morning, the lCth, on leaving camp, wc wero told that tho Bpokans had assembled and were ready to fight us. Nut believing this, our march was continued, until about 11 o'clock wc found ourselves In the presence of six hundred warriors In war costume. Tho-command was halted for the purposs of having n talk, In which tho Spo kans announced that Ihcy had heard wo had gone out for the purpose of wiping them out, and If that was tho enso tbey wore ready to light us, and that we rhotild not cross the Spokan river. The Indians wero well moun ted, principally armed with rllles, and were extended along our Hank at tho ilUtanco of 11. ,. , , , ... ., , , , , , ... . 1.

After marching a mile, wo reached a sheet of water, where It was determined to encamp and hold another talk with tho Indians. Nothing resulted from this except the most Insulting demonstrations on their part. Wo dared not dismount, and were kept in the saddle three hour, until the setting of the sun dispersed the Indians, On Monday morning we left camp to re turn to the I'elouse, marching tn tho follow ing order l II company In advance, 0 In tbo center, with the packs, and 13 in the rear, At A o'clock tho Indians appeared in great numbers about tbo rear of tho column, and just as tho udranco was crossing a small stream they began firing. In twenty min utes tho tiro bees mo continuous. Seeing that we must light, and that the action mutt become general, I was ordered to move for ward and occupy ft hill that Iho Indians were making for, and frem which they would have a closu lira upon the head of Ihe col umn. After ft close race I gained tho bill In advance, on teeing which the Indiaus moved around and took possession of one commanding that which I occupied. Leav ing a few men to defend the first bill, and deploying my men, I charged the second aud drove them off. At this time tho action was general ; the three compaules, numbering in all about 110 men, were warmly engaged with five hun dred Indians. Tho companies were separa ted from each other nearly a thousand yards, and fought entirely by making short char ges. At 11 o'clock I was reinforced by the howitzers, and tho two companies began to movo towards the position I held, the In diaus pressing closely upon them. As i: company was approaching, a large body of Indians got between it and my company, so that having It between two fires, tbey could wipe It nutntonce. Gaston seeing this moved quickly toward me having the In dians in his front, and when near euougb, and 1 saw ho was about to charge, I charged with II company, The result was, that our companleiiict,vhaviug the Indians In u right angle, In which angle wo left twelve dead Indiaus. After getting together we kept up the fight for half an hour, aud again started to reacu wnier, moving nan n mite under a constant and raking lire, under which our comrades, Taylor and Gaston fell, Wc fin ally reached a bill near tbo water and occu pied the summit, and the Indians having now completely surrounded It, ne dismoun ted and picketed our horses close together on the centro of the flat inclined summit, and posted our men around the crest, iiAig them He flat on tho ground, as lbei(fns wero so close, and so daring as to attempt tocharge tbo bill, but, although outnumber ing us eight to oqe, they could not succeed. Towards evening our ammunition began to give out, and tbo men suffering to much from thirst and fatigue, required all our at tention to keep them up. To move from ono point to another, wc had to crawl on our bands and knees, amid the bowlings of the Indians, tbegroansof the dying, and tho whittling of balls and arrow t. We wero kept In this poiltou until 8 p. u., when, ns night set In, It became, apparent that on theimorrow wc must go under, and that not one of us would csenpo. It was plain that, nearly destitute of ammunition, wc wero completely surrounded by 6 or t hundred Indians, and the most of theso on points which wo must pass to get away. Therefore It was determined to run tho gauntlet so lliat If possible soma might ctenpo. Abandoning everything, wo moun ted and left Ihe hill nt 0 o'clock, and after n ride of ninety miles, mostly nt a gallop and without rest, wc reached Snake Illvcr nt Red jWolf. eroslng the next evening, aud were met by our friends, tho Nex l'erces. Wo had two ofllcers, live men, and three friendly Indians killed ; ten men wounded; 1 Sergeant Hall or II Company missing. The 'Sargnant bad distinguished himself very much during tho actlou, and wc all hopo ho 'wlllyot como In. I Cnpt, Taylor was shot through tho neck, I.tetit. flaston through the body ; they both 'fell fighting gallantly. Tho Companies fought bravely, like truo men. Wo brought our horses bick In good condition, except about thirty which wero shot during the light. The Iiidians made no captures. Ilcfore tho baltlo was near over, the Indians picked up nine of their dcml bow many of them were kllkd Is not known, hut I counted fif teen. They acknowledge having forty wounded. It would take a thouiaud men to go Into the Spokan country. Not 1't'siiiKd Hiu.

Ho occupies n four story rcsldcnco In Wnluut street, wtlh Vcnltlau blinds nnd marble trimmings, ond cm ties n style of wntch-fob and shlrt-rufllo that tell of easy circumstances nnd a luxu rious tasto. Mr. Hlank Is n gentleman of convivial habits, nnd Is nover eo happy as when participating In lively amusement. As his Letter half possesses a dlsposlljon di ametrically opposite to this, and finds con solation only In protr.ieted meetings nnd psalm-slnglng In general, It follows that our Irlend Hlank, when In pursuit of enjoyment, must seek It away from home. A few evenings since, Mr. Hlank thought ho would seek relaxation, alter tho bmlucMi cares of the day, by Indulging In the Tcrp stchorcan cxcrclres of n, ball given at the Hall or the Musical Fund. Mr. II. Is a very graceful dancer, and executes polkas and redowas In a stylo that takes admirably with tho ladles who go It on the light fan tastic, ltcing flno looking, not too stout, nnd appearing young for his age which is forty-five, Mr. Hlank created quite a sensa tlou as bis patent-leathers vibrated In the Mazourka, and oscillated In the graceful evolutions of tho Varsovlcnne. Having danced once, Mr. Hlank entered Inlrly Into the amusements of the evening, and render cd himself entirely happy. When tho Vnr sovlenue was called up, Iho number of per sons responding to It wero very few, tho dunce being slightly difficult and not gener ally known. Mr. Hlank, however, was on hand, already looking round tho benches in search of a partner, In a moment or so he spied a young lady on a front bench, with plum colored ryes and a form that tried his nervous system to a remarkable decree. I Mr. Hlank sought out the floor mauaccr and ublatned an Introduction. ".Mr. Hlank Miss Spuytcnfcrtcr." Mr. Hlauk smiled In his most killing manner, laid his right hand on the left sldo of his vest pattern, bowed, aud said ho "never felt so much honored in his life." Young lady showed a killing sot nf teeth, and bandjd blm htr programme. Mr. Hlnnk wrote his name, and then slttbtr by her side, Indulged In quotations from Don Juan and Lallab Rookb. We have said that Mr. Hlank was pleased with Miss Spuyfcn ferter's appearance. Wo aro happy to say that after fivo minutes' conversation Mr. Hlank'a pleasure took the shape of unboun ded delight. The young lady slightly man gled Llndloy Murray, strung negatives to gether In a primitive manner, and used sen tences In which the verbs could rcarcely be reconciled to tbclr nominative cases. All this however was set down by Mr. Hlank ns evidence rattier of confused coyness than laek of education. As the bugle sonnded, Mr. Ulank took upapotltiou with the young lady upon the floor. If her grammar,, how ever, was defective, the tame could uot bo said of tier pedal extremities. Sbs wore No. 3 tllppcrs, and executed the waltz In a man ner that made Mr. Dlank feel as excited as a darkey at a camp meeting. Mr. Hlank hav ing finished this'dance, engaged Miss Spuy- tenferter for tho rest of the evening, Mr. Olauk did even more. When the ball was finished up, Mr. Dlank asked young lady's permission to seo her home. Youog lady said, "The very favor I should havo asked, as cousin Ludnlg apptart to have gone home." Mr. Hlank waited until the young lady emerged from the dressing room, and then offered to order up a carriage. Young lady wouldn't listen to such a thing. The night was so fine, sho taid, she preferred walkiug. Tho couple walked pleasantly along down Race street to Tenth, down Tenth to Wal nut, and up Walnut until tbey osme very near Mr. Hlank'a own house. "A neighbor of mine, I suppose," thought Mr. Hlank, though be said nothing, of course; "wonder if Mrs. Hlank knows her!"' When they reached the corner of Eleventh street, tho young lady said: "Wouldn't think of troubling you farther, sir; I am In sight of home now," "So am I," taid H, at the same tlmo draw ing her arm just one Inch further through bis otrn. In two minutes more the young lady stop ped before a four-Htory bouse done , up In white marble, Young lady drew 'put tier arm and gave Mr. Olauk a flrtt-class smile. "Good night, elr." "Some mistake. I think: I live here my self." lieforc another word was Spoken, ft fe male night cap containing Mrs. Olank'a heed appeared at tbo second story window. Young lady looked at Hlank. Mr. Hlank looked at night-cap, while night-cap looked at nil hands. Thcro was a dead calm for a moment, but that sort of a calm which pre cedes a tropical hurricane. Mrs. Hlauk smelt a mice. Tho next mluuto an Infuria ted female was beard coming down stairs, and the front door opened. It was Mrs. Dlank, of course, and the way she pitched into Mr. Uluokcan be imagined rather than described. When wo say that Miss Spuy tenferter was a young wouiau that Mrs. 0. bad engaged that very day as a sort of up-pcr-nurtery maid, tho astonishment of Mrs. Dlank may be easily Imaslncd. The etrl v-ak rirntud tirimU4am- a Hi- lim. -.rM1.l . ...... ...aw. .... .v ... hwh.h, .- Mr. Hlank slunk sneaklngly towards his dormitory, to tako the conseqnenee of his imprudence. Dut this Is not all the next day, Instead of cooling down after hosrlng the truth of tho matter, Mrs. H. becime more excited than ever, and determined to havo revenge upon "the huzzy" who had beguil ed her hmband. With this Intent sho went to tho police office for an Interview with Alderman Lneu. She stated the circum stances of the night previous, nnd deman ded ix warrant to havo Miss Spuytenferter arrested for traveling under false pretences. The Justlco Informed her that the law of fatso pretences didn't apply to any such enses, and even If It did, he shoold doubt the propriety of putting It In force agalnst''tha huzzy" referred to. If anybody had dono wrong, It was Mrs. Blank's husband. Un therefore ndvlsrd htr to go home, nnd give Mr. Dlank n lulling to that would do hlio good. Mrs. Hlank promised to do so, and flounced out of the Court ns though the soonor that Job was done the better. As Mr. Hlank appeared In tho street next day with his head done up In a white handker chief, It is fair to presume that the ledum has been delivered. It Is to be feared, how cvir, that tho prlnclpnl speaker was a broom handle. TIic Voiiiik Woman's) Iur( In l.iro. There is something lu a pleasant damsel which takes a young man's eye wh'lbcr he will or no. It rany bo msgnctlsm. It may be the sympathy of that which Is in a man's nature for that which Is beautiful In woman's. The women hnvc great pontr over the sex called sterner. Particularly so, if they be youug, pretty, and marriage able. Young womau do you know that It Is you who are to mould tome man's tifo I 'Have you ever thought of tho rcrpouslblll ' ty that attaches to you long before you are , married 1 A word you may tay to a yoang I man whom you may never marry uor even seo a second t'roo will possibly exert an In Iflucnceover his life that you don't dream ofl A smile does wonders In lighting up the dark corners of a man's soul a word In the right place may electrify his wholo be ing. A wrong Influence will do tnoro dam age than a lifetime may correct. The fash ionable utravsgance of a large class of wo men, keep a majority of young men away from all Intentions of matrimony,' leads them to look upon tho whole sex with dis gust, and drives them to scenes where, they are bound bsnd and foot by the unreasona ble demands of wives who would spend fast er than tbey could make. And the fact that this tendcuey shows signs of Incresee makes tbo case worse.

This Is the rar est of virtues; more valuable because there Is comparatively little of it to ba found. Iowa Gold Diuai.sca. We have a beau tiful specimen of the genuino yellow metal before us, found on the southern line of the county, which will compare favorably with similar specimens found In California. It has evidently been in a liquid statu once, and this fact would teem to Indicate the ex istence of veins of the precious metal la the vicinity whero this specimen was picked up. However, wc think these specimens are rare ly .found held. We would caution the pub lic against placing too much confidence iu Iho thousand rumors respecting theso dis coveries. Letters havo been written an nouncing the discovery of "rich leads," which have an existence only in tho Imagi nation of tho writers. All theso Moriua ar greatly exaggerated, on,d intended to Im pose upon the weak and credulous. Tbo amount of gold found in these places, so far, would not be worth the product of 40 acres of land well planted with corn, and we heps no one who has any useful employment will forsake it for the purpose of running after their golden vagaries.
