She was sitting cross legged, skinning seal blubber with a rude knife made of a piece of hoop-iron driven into a piece of wood. There was no cover ing on her head excepting a thick mass of matted hair of a yellowish-brown color, due to its exposure to the sun and air. The hair was short, looking as though the fiee entls had rotted off. She would occasionally raise her hand, shade her eyes, and look toward the beach, where she evidently saw those from whom Mr. Deitman had recently separ ated.

As she wis about to land at Santa ll.n 'mn an ox team passed, which so delighted her that she talked, laughed, danced, and ges ticulated ; and before that excitement ended j a man on horseback approached, which gave I her even more pleasure than the ox team. At first it was supposed that she thought the man and horse constituted one animal ; but if so, the mistake was soon corrected, for, on landing, she went up to the horse and carefully examined it. The examination gave her additional pleasure. She would turn to her late companions and laughingly request them to look at the beast. She strad dled the thumb of the left hand by the index and middle fingers of the right, and moved them to represent the horse and rider as they passed along the beach. S he was taken to the house of Mr. Nidever, where site be came the centre of attraction. The Mission Fathers took a great interest in her sending to Los Angelas ami other places, hoping to find some one who understood her dialect, but failed. Kven the Pcpimaros Indians, who were said to have had an acquaintance with the Indians on the island, could not press was checked. The first ten men were reduced to bloody pulp, and the others crush, ed and bruised to death. At this same bat tle a Confederate shell exploded under a Fed eral gun and killed four artillerymen, dis mounted the gun, wounded two men, and the butt of it flew off at a tangent and killed a second lieutenant of infantry who was eighty rods away: At Fredericksburg, as the Union infantry marched in solid masses up the valley beyond the town, the Confederates opened fire from behind a stone wall. The lighting along the line was over in ten minutes, and .".Ono rebels lay dead within reach of each other. In many cases three or four men had fallen across each other. A shell from a gun on the bill exploded in the midst of some New Hampshire troops and killed a sergeant, a coiporal and twelve piivat"s and wounded six others, lie fore the Union troops crossed the river, and while shelling the town, a shell struck a house and exploded in a room where there were five soldiers ami a citizen. All were blown to pieces, and three citizens in a room directly overhead were also killed. Perhaps the most destructive work made by a shell among troops occurred a few miles below Vicksburg. A Federal gunboat was tired upon by light artillery from the bank, 1 ptrsted in plain view. There weie two six pounders working close together, and each and, because their home is uneomfoH:iid make it more so. How is t),.y,r apology re ceived ? An old proverb speaks the world's judgment : "There is nothing worse than a drunken man. except a drunken woman." Nobody apologizes for her. Nobody pleads that if she had a better husband she would be a better wife. Ilather, it is claimed, the w orse a tiihn is. the better his w ife. should be; and certainly it would eem that there are wives who think so. The worthy women who are coupled to unworthy husbands form a class of martyrs, to which society and hu manity owe more than the world is aware of; and the self-denying mothers and sisters who The ballot-lxix is a test of the t harai b r of a licople.

' Suffrage, therefore, is the barometer that in I dicuies the public irtue t.f the voters. n.,t I that of the candidates. A great American said t.f a tlead man and an idol: "The honors we grant mark how hi-h we stand, , and they educate the future.

The Presidential election is to all of these inipressjb,. r,,,, ingenious youths an education in public morality, for one of the lessons of the hour is one of pub lic virtue.

Also the skuils and other bones of the human skeletons found there ; are unlike those found in other sections of Southern California. Xear her enclosure were several stakes, between which was stretched a rope made of the seal's sinews, supporting seal ai.d elephant blubber. Far ther 011 were three huts made of whales' j ribs, covered with brush, but giving no evi- j deuce of having been lately occupied. De signs and otlier means of communication j she was made aware that they wanted her to accompany them, and without any appar ent hesitation she made ready to follow. She filled a basket such as were common among the Indians of this coast for packing on their fishing tackle, and other articles and taking it on one arm, and a fire brand in the other hand, she lo!lo' cd the company. In their course to where the schooner lay , a summer complaint in about three weeks after she landed; and that, in connection with an in jury to the spine, received by tailing from a porch, terminated her life four weeks later, or seven weeks from the time she lauded. During her sickness she reluctantly permit ted her kind hostess to dress her in flannel underclothes, and ttKik her bed under proper covering, but positively refused to return to her former plain diet, as was proiwised by some of those who called to sec her. Her dr-ss of shagskins, basket, and trinkets were given to Fatlitr Oonzales, of the Mission, who, it is said, sent them to Koine. battalion. Nothing was left of the gun-car- ; riages but splinters, and the guns themselves , were terribly battered. The only remains of ; the ciysson that could be found was the hub of tine wheel tilled with hroken spokes. 1 1 Most of the tiead had been blown to frag- j . incuts, and the bushes were covered with ' ' shreds of flesh.

Abott! the year 17S0, a party of whites, under Captain Samuel Ura- : tly. pursued a marauding party of Indians to ; their village .011 the Cuyahoga, in Summit conniy ; but, being surprised and put to flight : I by the enemy, by some means Urady became j separated from his party, and was in turn pursued by the whole band of savages. Ap proaching the rocky chasms of the Cuyahoga river, and realizing that his life depended 011 i the leap, he concentrated his whole strength, ' and cleared the chasm by a singl.j leap. At the point w here the leap w as made the shelv- I i ing rocks overhung the river, ami made the ; ! width of the channel twenty-one or twenty- j 1 two feet. Struck dumb with amazement, it j i was some time, before the pursuers collected thong. .t enough to fire upon him, and then ! I strike for the ford, some distance below. ! i Wounded, and profusely bleeding, Hrady ran j to the lake which Dears his name, and eluded ! ; his enemies by seen ting himself in the w;- ! j lers of the lake. Chagrined at the escape of j : their expected captive, the Indians retaineil ' to the scene of th; leap, and after consulta- ' ; t:on decided that the "pale-face" was 11a man ; but a turkey, and that he flew across tins ' : stream. As ; record of this decision a rude i representation of a turkey's foot was carved 1 on the rock from which the leap was made. 1 A Strange Dkham. Nine years ago Wil. liam Carter, ol Canisteo, dreamed that he was out with a party hunting for game and that he struck into a little ravine where some pheasants flew tip. In his hurry to get a shot at them he became entangled in the bushes and thorns, which scratched his face and hands terribly. After getting through the bushes he came to a white stone, which was rull of marks, nnd after a time he discovered in his dream a fifty barrel flowing oil well. 'I he second night the dream was repeated, nnd on the third night he dreamed the same thing. Yet, not being a believer in dreams, he said nothing about it except to a few friends. The oil theory was not btomiii!r as it is now. Three years after this strange dream he was out hunting with a party 011 IVnnetCs creek, four or five miles south of Canisteo. All at once he came upon some bushes, and in his hurry scratched his hands and face considerably. Thivgauie was gone in an instant, but after getting through the bushes heMUvthe white stone he bail seen three years before, and told his friends there was oil there, and that it would sometime be revealed. Mr. Carter went to the Western Territories and was absent some time, but could not forget the dream, lie afterward returnorl nnd has been engaged w ith his fath er ami brothers in the roundly and machine shop in Canisteo. Two years ago, when the men from Bradford came to driil an oil well here, the first place located was withiu fifty puis of the spot deserilH-d in the dream, but through some llaw in the lease they gave up the s:t, and came near the village and drilled the well our readers have heard so much about. On Monday la-t several sharehold ers with ofiiceis ,,f the new company went to Dennett's creek to locate the new well, and nearly all gave in a favorable opinion of a lo cation which proves tube within fifty yards of the white stone. Mr. Carter was not in the party, but he is the man who Las the con tract for drilling the well. A,,,',-. Oauttr. Kl sshs Kaii.w ats.

A consumptive looking man, lame and feeble, and carrying a pint bottle full of something, halted a lue tics! rian on Dates street the other d.iy and said : "I found this bottle on the corner back there and I wish you'd tell tne what's in it." The other took it, removed the coik and took in a full breath. The next instant he siagg'-red against a wall, clawing the nirand chiikii.g and gasping, nud it was a full min ute before he blurted ml : "Why, you infernal idiot, that's baits horn !" 'Well, I'm perfectly willing to tike mir wold for it without extra insults," observed the iuvaii I in fin injured voice, and be took his bottle, and walked off like a man wlinhad questions is evident in the fa. t that tianield's majority iu his own district was reduced from ll.ooo to ."..(inn, and has never lt-en quite regained.

He only received si.o-hi of stock ; par value, in the Credit Mobiiier Company,' ! without investing a penny.
