Not that I was an unloving wife or had an unloving husband, but there are a thousand things interesting to women, which one does not want to talk about to one’s liege lord, even though ho be the light of one’s eyes and the star of one’s existence. !So, ns I said before, I longed for a lady friend, and being very hard to Miit, I longed a long time before I found the right one. Of course I was the victim of several mistakes before “my utlinity ” really smiled upon me, Just ns tho men al most always are when looking out for “ some one to love—some one to caress.’’ Mrs. A. for a brief time seemed the realization of ray dreams, but I soon dis covered her heart was ns false as her hair, and her mind as shallow as her eyes. Mrs. B. next attracted my attention, hut she proved vain, insincere and super ficial. Mrs. E. could talk of nothing but tho fashions, and Mrs. H. of nothing but the men. I wanted a true, sensible, poetical soul. I jingled rhymes a little myself.— With a fellow-jiug’ler, how harmoniously life would glide on. I took v«ry Uttlo. Intoroet in tho <mt of a sleeve, or the set of a what d’ye-call em. My friend must also bo one who took no interest in the set of whut-d’ye call-eras, but whose thoughts soared far’ above the petty trifles which absorb most women’s time. I wore my own hair, teeth, complexion and eyebrows. I gloried in the consci ousness that though poor, they wore mihe own. Should sho, the fair unknown, also wear her own hair, teeth, complexion and eyebrows, my cup of bliss would in deed be full. Owing nothing to art, and still less to artfulness, how sweet the cur rent of our united loves would flow. At last I found her—" Eureka,” 1 said —or words to that effect. It was at one of Mrs. E.’s parties. When she entered the room I felt—" this is my female fate.” True, she was draped in the costliest fabrics— diamonds glittered on her taper lingers, on her slender wrists and in her much curled hair. Rut in her large, and grey eyes I read her weariness of all this tinsel and show, ami her calm, silent, re served behavior told of her dislike to the scones of so-called mirth. I knew that she thought the golden mi mien Is of time too precious to be wast ed in such frivolities. In the proud yet humiliated glance she cast upon tier husband, I read the glory of another heart offered at an unworthy shrine—another bright spirit'bound to one of the earth, earthy. (Sho told me afterward that all these suppositions were perfectly correct.) • That evening when we were introduc ed to each other, she remarked, in a sweet, lisping voice, " I hear that you arc a poetess—the only one 1 have met in tiiis weary, selfish, fashionable circle.— And why do you come here?” with a bright, inquiring smile. " Principally lo make tun of tho com pany,” I confessed, " and yon, our hostess tells me, also court, the muse?” " Oh !” with a shrug of her satin-cover ed shoulders. "My husband wishes mo to come.” W© found no opportunity of talking that evening, for supper was announced. It fell to my Charles’ lot lo load Mrs. W. (you see 1 had jumped to the other end oi tiie alphabet) to supper, and a* they passed me I caught the words : " W*hat a sweet little creature your wife Is: I am positively in love with her.” Rupture! my affection was icturned.— The patient search of years was rewar ded. I had found at last my intimate friend. That night, or rather next morning, as I stood in my own room, wearily disen tangling the flowers from my hair, I re marked lo him: “ isn’t she lovely?” Upon which he remarked to me, “ Nnt at all.” “Oh, my dearest,” continued J, be tween two yawns, which I could not re press, “ I urn sure you arc mistaken. In her face I find Intellect, sensibility, deep feeling and poetry.” “And I lind,” returned the disagreeable thing, “ selfishness, artfulness, smartness and ho poetry.” “Charles,” said I, with dignity, her.” “ Better let her alone,” muttered he Here the argument ended, for he had fallen asleep. But the more I thought about her, the more I was resolved not to let her alone. Poor, suffering thing—chained to that worldly creature, dragged about by him from party to parly, decked in finery loaded with jewels, and all to do him honor. A poetess. How 1 should like to read her poems—heart-breaking thing, no doubt, (they were; she showed some to me after we had communed about a month, and one in which she spoke of •* loathing her chains, yet hugging them, too,” brought tears to my eyes.) And so, in spite of Charles’ advice to the contrary, (men are so disagreeable sometimes) Eva Theresa became-my in timate friend. Oh, how wo loved each other, bhe was never happy away from me. I was never happy away from her. Morn, noon and tlewy eve we were together. I read her the little eft'uslons of mjr muse, and she read me the great effusions ol her muse. Our life was delicious. Sometimes, I must admit, her conduct I seemed strange to me. As, for instance, I when she refused a few’ cents toa wound ed soldier, saying, with a tear In her eye, that Mr. W. objected to give money to beggars, and the next moment expended a dollar on confectionery—or when she flourished three or four hundred dollar* in crisp, bank notes regretting, with a sigh, that she was obliged to spend them all on herself, hut she had promised Mr. W. to do so. or when she. requested me to bo sure and bring my own needles and thread, when I proposed to visit her with my sewing. As 1 remarked before, these tilings somewhat contused me, for I could not for the life of me understand how Mr.W. could discover whether the dollar was given to the soldier, or paid to theconfoe tioner, or how he was to find out if a few dollars out of the three or four hundred were spent for somebody beside Eva The resa, or most puzzling of all, what could he know about my needles and thread? “ Ah, lie is such a man tyrant,” used to be my final conclusion, “ that poor, dear Eva Theresa Is in mortal dread of him, ami imagines he is quite übiquitous.” And yet the monster seemed a good sort of monster—that is, to Eva Theresa. He brought her constantly the richest gifts. Every day she received from him deli cious fruits and lovely flowers. Ho sur rounded her with books, pictures, and all sorts of elegant things. Her diamonds were tho most costly, hor drciwca tho most, gorgeous of any In our circles. “ But what are diamonds to a starved ■pint, or velvet robes to a thirsty heart ?” asked Eva Theresa; “my tyrant wills that I should deck myself gayly, and I obey him ; hut these rich habiimonts bring no relief to an anguishing soul.” I noticed, however, on several occa sions, anti it struck mo ns being rather odd at the time, that Eva Theresa address ed her “tyrant” as “my beloved,” or “ my heart’s treasure.” Well, our friendship progressed. We read together, sowed together (when I brought myown needle and thread,) rode together (when X paid for tho carriage), ami walked together ad libitum. My husband, to my great delight, be gan to llnd pleasure in her company, and she, though she detested men, (“unfeel ing, hellish brutes,” she called them), through my influence at last confessed that Charles was an exception to the gen eral rule. She spent long evenings with us, and he took her home. Sometimes 1 offered to accompany them, but dear, thoughtful Eva Theresa would say, “positively,! shan’t stay hero again, if I am to drag you, you little delicate croatuie, out of the house at this time of night. Much as X wpuld love to have you with me, dear, I know that it is better for you to remain at home.” And she would ar range the sofa pillows for me, insist upon my lying down, kiss mo tenderly, and then walk off with my husband. It was fifteen minutes’ walk to Eva Theresa’s residence. I couldn’t help no ticing iliac the blue-eyed* one never re turned underan hour. “ You must have walked very slowly,” said I, one moon light night, when lie had been gone an hiiurandahalf, “ You begin to like Eva Theresa very much?” “I llnd her interesting—us a study,” he answered with a smile. Charles is a great admirer of Thackery. It happened tlpit after my friendship for Eva Thermal had lasted about a year, I fell ill. Then the devotions of my intimate friend would have touched the heart or a stone—that is if a stone could bo found with a heart. .She came every day to see me; she regretted that she could not bring me fruit and flowers. “ You know I would if I could, love.” I know she hud plenty of them every day herself; but then, of course, that dreadful Mr. W. has a way for discovering just how many gm\u>u urnl uliA out unci limv many oranges she smelt. .She bathed my head with the cologne she found on my bureau—she did everything she could do. There was one hallucination on her part, however, which sick as I was, I strongly objected to. She insisted at all limes that I needed sleep, ami stealing from the room on Up-toe, would beckon to my husband to follow, so that I might be left to perfect quiet. Now “ perfect quiet” was just what I didn’t want. I wanted to be amused, and I must confess Unit I shed n few tears each time they left me alone. One bright June morning 1 felt better. The sunshine streamed in the room. 1 could see the beautiful blue sky from my bed. Tho sound of children’s voices eumo up pleasantly to meet me from tho street, and, best of all my husband sat beside me, holding my hand in his, and telling me how glad he was that summer was bringing health to hif dear wife. Kva Theresa entered—something dis- turbed her—she almost frowned—then smiling again, she hastened in my side, laid a Coquet of violets on my nillow, and gave me a poetical kiss. “ L cannot slay a moment," sle- said - “ L have to prepare lor u fu-'hionnble \v-M -ding.” “ 1 don't want to go one bit,” with a childish pout, " but Mr. \V. insists upon it. 8o guud-by, dear, 1 am so glad you are t»o much belter. I will see you again to-morrow.” As sho turned away she held out her hand to Charles. He exten ded his, but by some mischance tho paper she intended to place within it fluttered down on the bed and I secured it. 11-was tho smallest possible note, fra- grant with rose perfume. “ Some pretty verse she wished him to read in her absence,” 1 thought “ full of .liiue sunshine ami flowers,” and I slowly unfolded it. This was the poem ; " Will you again refuse lo meet me? - Once more I throw to the wind my wo manly pride and entreat you. Charles, I love you ; oh ! so much belter than that childish creature you call wifeevercould. I do not ask you to forsake her, i kind Eva Theresa;! lot her dream on, but let me love you too.

Washington, Fob. 27, I)j:au Eag lk : Perhaps you will be surprised to hear that lam here. I kept It quiet ami re quested the correspondents not to men tion my arrival, for fear of agitatmg the country 100 much. As soon as the news of impeachment was Hashed over the astonished country, I made up my mind, packed my valise, took an affectionate ioavo of Mrs. O'Lan us ami the children, and started lor Washington. The situation at the National Capitol is exciting. Everybody feels that the crisis which was expected to arrive, but was frequent ly postponed, has finally arrived. Alabama claims and the Alabama elec tion arc both forgotten. The rights of naturalized citizens abroad are suspended, and England might bang Georgo Francis Train, and nobody, ex cept possibly Train himself, would feel any concern about It. The change in the British Ministry, ami the removal of tlio Cunurd steamers from Boston, ate i-vi-m* that exgilo no interest now. All thoughts are turned on impeachment. Ulllce-seekors who come to Washing ton don’t know whether to go to Andy Johnson or lien. Wade. I have scon both. They arc both confident and cheerful. Secretary Stanton is in a state of siege. The operations are conducted by Gen eral Thomas, who threatens to move on his works with a quo warranto. Stanton sits in his office night and day with a revolver in each hand, a bull dog under his chair, and a bottle of Bour bon on the* table to keep his courage up. He don’t eat any tiling for fear of being poisoned. He hasn’t slept for a week. Stanton’s allies tried a diversion in his favor, and temporarily drove Thomas back on theSupremeC’ourt. But the at mosphere of a court room being unhealthy to Radicals they had to fail back. Thom*, as rallied and Stanton is as iooqely in- ; vested as ever. I Congress is being backed up on all aides. Besides tbe offer of Governor Geary of the militia who stuck so bravely to Penn sylvania when their services wore want ed In Maryland. Governor Fenton ha» offered to send on ills “ pardon brigade” of Sing Sing veterans. The Kings county Loyal League hasn’t been heard from. 1 Where’s Bellows? So far, I am the only fighting represen tative of Kings conn’y on hand. I reminded Ben. Wade of this, so that if a new ileal takes place the fellows who staid at home in the hour of peril can’t come here and claim colleelorships. Saw Grant yesterday. He is as communicative as ever. He said lie had read my epistle on horses, and ho cut it out of the Eagle and pasted it in his hat for reference. He thinks that I don’t understand rats quite so well. Said lie hud some experi ence witli rats, anti he cleared out a whole swarm of them that were feeding at the public crib when he who or? tnfrr ini in the War Department. “ Yes, General,” said I, “ but you let in the biggest and dirtiest rat of the tribe when yon went out? But I guess we will trap him yet, and cutoff his official tall close up to hts ears? What is your opinion on that point? “ you svi-ito tKuL nrtiolo you promised, on pups,” responded the General, “if you call on me I think I cun give yon a few points. I know some thing about pups, particularly Marshall Brown’s slut’s pups.” Our conversation was. here interrup ted by a chap connected with a New York sensation weekly, who wanted the General to give him the address of ills grandmother, us ho wanted to try and engage the old lady to writeup family reminiscences for the paper. The Impeachment Committee of the House sit with closed doors,—on account of tile coolness of Che weather. Thud. Stevens is still very feeble. He lias to bo supported by a chair when ho sits down. He is not able to hold his head up. Still lie works night and day at iho ar ticle of impeachment. A lew of them have leaked out through ’ I lie kry hole. I Andy Johnson Is to be imp; ached on die following charges. For being Andy Johnson. , For aggravating Congress by reterring in:in obsolete document, known as the » oijHlitulion of Hie Foiled Stale*. . For insisting that the Union low not been dissolved. For asserting that a while myn is aa L good as a colored man. 1 i For maintaining that the President lias j a right to exorcise powers confcned np ■ on the office by the aforesaid Constitu tion. ‘ l Because Alabama didn’t swallow the '■black draught of the Radical ConMitu -1 . lion. For violating the law against cruelty to animals. in trying to kick a dirty dog out of the Warohico. The Radicals have made more history since they have had charge of the Gov ernment than any other party since the old Revolutionary chans who kicked up a row about a tea tax. They have had a civil war, a martyr, pile' l up the biggest national debt ever hoard of, ami now they are prepared to wind up with impeachment ami revolu tion. They urc i\ lively party now. say what j you will, ami as long as the people will i Miami the expense they will give them j plenty of excitement for their money. i The Hon. D. Barnes spoke on impeach- [ ruent. I The Hon. P. Malloy Robinson was not > on hand, consequently we in'issed hearing j what died Impeachment will have on j Ireland. 1 Many rumors are alloat, which are more or less reliable—generally less. There was a report that the Hon. John Morrissey had introduced u compromhu hill to settle the difficulty in a straight forward and artistic manner. Andy Johnson to light Ben. Wade, for the Pres idency, at catch weights, in the rotunda of the Capitol, according to the rub's of the P. R. That the speaker had ruled the motion outof order when the Hon. John said if Colfax would come down on the iloor he’d mash him. On which the Hon. J. M. was called to order by Gen. Banka and arraigned at the bar of the House until he treated the members all around, the sergea'nt-at anns fetching in the champagne. On referring to the Congressional Uiobe, I find no mention of any such proceed ings. ; There is probably no truth in the story. SIEGE op STANTON still progresses. Thomas has invested him very closely. After'receiving SuinncV’s note request ing him to “ stick,” Stanton had the seat of his pantaloons tucked to his chair, so that he couldn’t be lifted out of it. in case the olllco is curried by assault. « Supt.

To Congress, —A man wuu seen about four o'clock this afternoon purchasing a Jack-knife ina hardware store in the Bowery. A detective traced the fellow to the Jersey City ferry, where, not Lav ing three cents about him to pay his fer riage, and the ferry-muster who is no doubt a copperhead and a sympathizer with Johnson, icfusing to recognize tils authority, tiio oillcer was obliged to give up the pursuit.

K. t A. S. S •Brooklyn Daily Eagle, ■ IN DIAN IiIFK O.V THE PKAIRIES. Beyond tho Missouri, in the wilderness, is an Indian village, forty-eight hours from Chicago. It is *aa rude and old world-like us Longfellow's “forest pri meval." It might have been described i>y the old French lathers two centuries ago, just as you see it, or the illustroua •* nulive of Genoa," or anybody this aide of the deluge of Leucalliou. It us much a stereotype, that village, is, as u Hock of aniuUruc imn-.es, w'n’utu it very much re* seinblea. Your ride through tula billowy country already seemed with deep •‘runs" freckled like a face with yellow flowers. You begin to find out, now it is wanting, how much company a fence may be, running along beside you post haste as you go, how much of their pic torial beauty tho “ pastures green" owe to Hock and herd, and how a little sprink ling of Indians in such a scene seems to dale tho landscape back to the days of Leathcrslockiug, Hawkeye, and Path finder; and you feel as it one of the old almanacs in which the s’s were all I’fl would answer as well as any. But two signs of civilization .appear, the trail beneath you that is Battened out into a wagon truck, ami the little patches of corn, shaped like an ola fashioned harrow, that lie about sunny bides of the hills, belittled to vulgar fractious of acres. These spots of earth have beeu gently ir rigated oy the squaws, and the maize has grown of itselfaud amazingly tail. You are nearing the village. .Ponies of'all colors, poor enough to herd with Pharouh'a klne in the lean year—lor their musters have just returned irom the buffalo hunt—are shocking around, dragging after them long lariats of bullalo hides. Small pieces of bifurcated animal copper "all alive,” but not big enough to say “ how,” .iro loitering about loose, the n shiny black button In every eye. buncy thirty musk rat homes removed out of llulr I damp Holhindic habitation to dry laud, ranged in a circle, and magnified to a Height of twelve or thirteen feel at the top of the arch, and with a circumfer ence, some of them, of forty. Cut a door m the side and build a narrow hull of ap proach. Pierce a whole in the top for a light to go in and the smoke to go out.— Set weeds and Bowers to growing upon these homely domes. Lay lazy Indians at length upon the sunny shies of all of them, and you have the picture of an In dian yammer village. Coming nearer you discover lurking paths running in every direction among the tall weeds. Squaws and children are conslanly entering and emerging by the liuie hall door, like the bees of an old »tru\v hive on u pleasant day. The sun shines, and the tableaux are various and picturesque. Hero two squaws, with snivea of bone, are currying a buffalo robe on the wrong side, stretched upon four springy sticks thrust into the earth and holding it tense and level us a table. There a mother, with a round black head ■ n lu>r lap, is examining its contents, for the ideas of the urchin are pretty much all external and pediculous and can bo caught with that toothed rage called a comb. Yonder an old grandma with gray hairs sits upon the ground, clasping her knees with both hands, and swing ing to and fro, lor all the world liko my lady in her rocking-chair. Here a group of boys are shooting at wild this tle heads with bow and arrow. The ex plosive merriment of'lhe white and black races is wanting. They laugh inwardly and silently, the smoky faces just brightening up with a show'of teeth at a good shot, and that is all. But the girls have a laugh worth hearing. It bursts out like a peal of sil ver bells shaken for au instant, and then ceases like a bird you surprise in her song, only to begin again in another place. There, two" Indians smoking a rod sandstone pipe. One takes a few whilis, and then the other. Yonder, a brawny fellow asleep on the roof of a wigwam. Round n.little kettle ridden fire a group of a dozen are gathered, some squatting on their haunches, like hungry and ex pectant dogs; some silting on their heels, and one full grown young Indian in u napkin lies, as our first mother’s un pleasant friend in Paradise was condemn ed to travel fornll time; his heels thrown up like a couple of flukes at one end, his head on a level with the top of the kettle at the oilier. A row of other dogs, only they are four footed, from the periphery of this family party, a sort of animated onion, if you please ; you peel otl another rind of dugn, then of Indians, and so on, dirt, dogs and savages, unlit you come to the kernel, which Is the kettle. The chef dc cuisine is an old witch in asort of aboriginal pet ticoat and short gown, and she Is bending over the kettle of boiling fat. cooking “sage biscuit,” to wit; Lumps of lead en dough dropped into the fat. Ah fast as she forks them out upon the ground— what should we do without it for every thing to fall ou?-r smutty arm with u hand upon it, is reached out, and tho teeth set into tho glowing and greasy morsel, much as a horse manipulates a thistle. Tho feast is over aud tho dogs lick the kettle. Passing through one of tho narrow hulls built up of slicks and sods, you find the hollow dome ns cool us a cuveni.— Tho Iloor is of hard, well swept earth, with n raised scalorcouch running round • tho wall. Here, a papoose la shelved, there a package of skins; yonder, the drowsy master of the household. You preccive the structure of the wigwam ; poles brought together in the centre, thatched with wild grass aud sodden with turf, and amphitheater Is spacious enough for a large fa > iiy midday falls pleasantly through tho small sky-light. Wo have seen homes less desirable a thousand miles nearer sunrise, but the wild smokey smell of the occupants sug gest a burrow with a beast in it, and a doubtful mingled fragrance of blanket bewilders the scene, and you feel a queer propensity to scratch for somebody else ; to itch! 1 A capital place is an Indian dwelling 1 to get rid of sentiment. The reader of Cooper, iu love with ideal red men, will - lind nothing thereto deepen it. There was ; in our n party, lady who had often, as she ! owned, felt like running away, letting ‘ her hair down and being a squaw. In© Indian she hud known never soiled the | clear white page of the book she saw him In. and his language read like a pleasant Imlhfd. But she went about hero on Up ! toe her skirts lifted at hull-most, as if in I mourning for the sins of the tribe against j cleanliness, touching nothing, us if eve- I rvihing was contagious, and holding her 'breath like a pearl diver. Her gods of line porcelain hud turned lo the coarsest : of clay, and the crockery, like that in the story of All Baba, was a greasy jar with j a thief in it. Aud so, good night to Poca ! hontas! , , - But those turfy domes, so cool in sum \ mer, and by the same sign, so warm in ; winter, are deserted with the first frosty howl from tho North, for the peaked tent of buffalo skin, something hkoauclon -1 gated chapeau bras, such us stands you i der, with a dusky face set in the parted t hup like a button “with a strange de vice.” They pack pony and squaw and 1 away for tall timber, put up their tents 1 under the lee of the woods, and get the ; 1 fuel for their winter fires without paolf mg u.
