Wow, wo would not bo un derstood to Bay that any one regards dyspepsia with favor, or feels disposed to rank it among, the luxuries of life. Far Irom it.. Those who have experienced Its torments would scout such an Idea, All dread it. and wohld gladly dispense with its unpleasant familiarities. MafkTapley who was Jolly under all the trying clrcumßtan-, ces In which ho was placed, never had an attack of dyspepsia, or his Jollity would have speedily forsaken him. Men and women sometimes suffer Its tortures uncomplainingly, bat whoev er heard of a person who enjoyed them 7 Of all the multifarious diseases to which the human system lellablo, there Is perhaps no one bo generally prevalent as dyspepsia. Thero,aro diseases more' attuto and painful, 'and which more frequently prove fatal, bat none, the ef fect* of which are so depressing to therolnd and so positively distressing to the body. If there Ib. ■4^wretched.helngia.thQ„wprldJ.Ua~~.— —a A CONFIRMED DYSPEPTIC. Bat It Is notourlnfentlon to dlscantonlhe hor rors of Dyspepsia. To describe- them truthfully Is simply an impossibility, but it Is possibly to - point ont a remedy, Webavesald that dyspep sia Is perhaps the most universal of human dis eases. This Is emphatically the case in the United States. Whether this general preva lence Is duo to the character oi the food, the method ©fits preparation, or the hasty manner In which It Is usually swallowed, is not our pro vince to explain. The great fact with which we are called to deal Is this : DYSPEPSIA PREVAILS almost universally. . Nearly every other person you meet Is a vic tim, an apparently willing one, for were this not the caao, why so many f offerers, when a c.ortalu, speedy and safe remedy Is within the easy reoch of all who desire to avail themsolves.of It? But the majority will not. Blinded by preju dice, or deterred by some other unexplained in fluence, they Refuse to accept the relief profer ed them. They turn a deaf ear to the testimony of the thousands whose sutlerlngs have boon al-. levlated.and with strange infatuation, appear to cling with dtsporato determination to their ruthless tormentor. But says a 'dyspeptic: What Is this remedy? to which w© reply: 'lhls great alleviator of human suffering la almost as widely known as the English language; It has allayed the agonies of t housands, and Is to-day carrying comfort and encouragement to thou sands o?others. This acknowledged panaceais none other than , • Dn. HOOFLAND’S GERMAN BITTERS. Would you know more ot the merits of, thl* wonderful medicine than can bo learned from the experience of others ?• Try it'.yoursolf, and when ft has failed to fulfil the assurance of its efficacy given by the proprietor, thou abandon faith in ft. • LET IT BE REMEMBERED, firstof all,that Hoofland’s.Gorman Bitters is not a ram.beverage. . They are not alcoholic in any sense of the term. They are composed wholly of the pure juice or vital principle of roots, This Is not a mere assertion. The extracts from which they are . compounded are prepartd by one of the ablest German chemists. Unlike any. other Bitters in the market, they are wholly free from spirituous Ingredients, The objections which hold with so much force against preparations of this class, namely—that a desire for Intoxicating drinks is stimulated by their use, are not valid in the cose of the German Bitters. . So fur from encouraging or mculatlng a.taste or desire for Inebriating beverages, It may be confidently ns» sorted that their tendency is in a diametrically opposite direction. Their efforts can bo BENEFICIAL ONLY in all cases of the biliary system Hoofland’t German Bitters stand without an equal, acting promptly and vigorously upon the Liver, they remove its torpidity and cause healthful secre tion of bile—thereby supplying, the stomach with the most Indispensable elements of sound digestion In proper proportions.. They give lone to the stomach— stimulating its functions, and enabling It to perform ite duties as nature de signed it should do., They’ impart vigor and strength to the entire system, causing the pa tient to feel like another being—ln fact, giving him a new lease of life. __ THEY PURIFY THE BLOOD. olbanslug the vital fluid of all hurtful impuri ties and supplying them with the elements of genuine healthtulnesß. In a word, there is scarcely a disease In which they cannot be. safely, and beneficially •employed•■but in that most generally pievalentdlstresslngand dread ed disease, Dyspepsia. THEY STAND UNRIVALED. Now; there - are certain classes of persona to whom extreme liters are not oniy unpalata ble; but who find It impossible to take them without positive discomfort. For such , Dll. HOOFLAND’S GERMAN TONIC has been specially prepared. It is Intended for use where a slight alchohol stimulant Is requir ed In connection with the well-known Tonlo properties of the pure German Bitters. This Tonic contains all the ingredients of the Bltlert, but so flavored os to remove the extreme bitter ness. This preparation is not only palatable,, bat combines, In modified form, all the virtues of the German Bitters. The solid extracts of some of Nature’s choicest restoratives arc hold in solution byaspirltuoua agentol thepurest quality. In cases of languor or excessive debil ity, where the system appears to have become aotfl with almost marvelous effect. It; not only stimulates the flagging and wasting energies, but Invigorated and permnnetly strengthens Ks action upon the Liver and Stomach thorough* perhaps less prompt than tho Bitters, when the same Quantity is taken Is none tho less certain.

It gives tho invalid a new and stronger hold upon life, removes,depression of spirits, and In spires oheerfnldess. Jt supplants the pain of disease with the ease and comfort of perfect health. Itglves strength to weakness, throws despondency to the winds, and starts- tho re stored invalid upon a new and gladsome career. But Dr. Hoofland’a benefactions to the human race or* not confined to his celebrated GERMAN BITTERS, or his Invaluable' Tonic. Ho has prepared an other medicine, wolch is rapidly wlnnlng lta way.tQ popular favor because of Us intrinsic ,n ° r HOOFLANIj'3 POLOPHYLLIN PILLS, a perfect substitute for mercury, without any of mercury’s evil qualities. • These wonderful Pills, which are intended to act upon the Liver, are mainly composed'of Podophyllln, or the VITAL PRINCIPLE OF THE MANDRAKE ROOT. N..w we desire the reader to distinctly under stand that this extract of the Mandrake la many times more powerful than the Mandrake itaeli. It Is the medicinal virtues of this health-giving plant In a perfectly pure and highly concentra ted form. Hence it Is that two or the Podophyl llh Pills constitute a fall dose, while anywhere six to eight or a handful of other preparations of the Mandrake are required. The Phodophy 1- Jin acts directly on the liver, stimulating Ita functions and causing It to make Its biliary secretions in regular and proper quantities. The injurious results which invari ably follow the use of mercury is entirely avoided by their use. But.lt Is not upon the Liver only that their powers are exerted. The extract of Mandrake contained in them is skill fully combined with four other extracts, one of which acts open the stomach, one upon the up per bowels, one upon tne lower bowels, and one prevents any griping effect, thus producing aplll that inflences the dlgestlveand alimentary sys tem, Ir an equal and harmonious manner, and Its notion entirely free from nausea, vomiting or griping pains common to all other purgatives. ’ Possessing these much desirable qualities,’the Podophylliu becomes Invaluable as a FAMILY MEDICINE. Ho household should he without them. They are perfectly safe, require but two for an ordina ry dose, are prompt ond efliclent in action, and when used'in connection with Dr, Hoofland’s German Bitters, or Tonin, may ho regarded as certain speclllcs in all cases of LiverComplalnt, Dyspepsia, or any of the disorders to which the system is ordinarily suhlco. The PODOPHYLLIN PILLS, act upon the stomach and bowels, carrying off Improper obstructions, while the Bitters or To nic purliy the blood, strengthen and Invigorate the irame. give tone and appetlto to the stom ach, and thus build up the invalid anew.

PA., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER U, 1871. Ipsceltami SILENT BILL.• I have been for nearly a-yenr roaming oyer the West. lu the course of my wanderings I came upon a wagon train winch was just starting from ‘the States,’ and joined it. The novelty soon wore ofl.anu I found the days fatiguing, the nights and sleep only being desirable. I had been con scious for daysof a fever in mjr veins, but had scorned to complain, and took a sort of savage delight in seekiug to do an ex-' tra amount of toll. It was my turn to prepare supper for our mess, but ouce ready, I went off ns far as T oould orawi from the noiseof the camp and the odor -of-the-oooking. ~:3ffie;l»Bt,Xi:.e!agmber■of that day was my dropping down beside some shrubs. Two weeks afterwards I opened my eyes on a different learn than the one I started with, and the driver was the largest, most uncouth looking man lever saw.. I laid on a straw bed, made upon oue side of the wagon, and in answer to my call, the strange man bent over me. I asked all the questions my strength al lowed, and then waited for the answers. He told me in the fewest possible words that I was missed from the traiu, and he went hack to look for me. That I had ‘been a dead heat for two weeks, and had better keep still and .go to sleep, if I could. 1 . . X obeyed, because I could not help it. Z received my food and medicine from the bauds of my strange-looking friend, but it seemed impossible to get any further information from him. _ - My recovery was rapid, and as soon as I’ made my appearance in camp, I wan warmly greeted by our company, anil" treated to many an extra dish by those kind-hearted people. I learned that I had not been missed until nearly uoon of the day! was left, and then they halted, and 'Silent Bill 1 volunteered to look me up, found me, and took upon himself to care for me during my sickness. I could find out but very little about the man who had thus brought me.back to life. He had joined the company, like myself; at the last moment, had given only the one name, to which the boys added another, until he was called all over the camp, ‘Silent Bill.’ His team was good, and he was well supplied with provisions, which lie' generously handed out to any one who had need. With my returning strength, I felt a fill-one interest ill .wnryfhlng he Uhl, nml would gladly have been companionable and useful, hut he never called upon mo to do anything, unless some one needed help, then be would leave the care to me for a lime. He was always ready to walk that others might ride ; fatigue seemed unknown to him. Foremost when dan ger threatened was bis,gaunt form, and it was always his rifle which brought.in .the earliest .game, Il> came about that he held the gratitude of almost every one lu the train, but loud thuuks seemed to offend him greatly. I never saw him hesitate but once ; thou, some children, two .little girls, had been ’ running, along with their mother, and she asked him to lift them into the wagon and give them a ride, as their own team was far behind. He went up toone of them, laid his hand oh its arm, started back, rubbed ' his hands together, and finally called to me: ‘Put them in, will yon?’ . I lifted them up, and gave each a kiss as I seated them upon the straw. He was still looking at his hands. ‘What’s the matter?’ I asked. Hg said nothihg, but held his bauds open before me. They were brown and bard. , ‘Are they-dirty?’ I asked. ‘Yes,’ said he, emphatically, and shot theta out at arms length. Then bestart cd bis team, and did not speak again for 1 %.11 hearts became lighter as we ascend ed the Sierras, aud began to think of finding an abiding place. When it came to leave taking, ‘Bill was missing. The others started off with their teams, but X staid by .his until the sun went down, number of good byes and kindly messages were left with mo for him. And one woman gave me a little package, sa} iug: ‘He was so kind to Willie when he was sick, end It was his,hands made that precious little grave in the mountains.’ I thought, to know the full value of the gift, Bill should have received it as I did, wet with the mother's tears. When he came back, w© were alone upon the hill side. He asked: ‘Why didn't you go on with the others?’ And I answered : * Because I did not choose to leave you alone, after all you have done for me. I shall go with you, if you will let me, and it does not make much difference to mo where.’ He looked at me keenly, and said: ‘You had better not; you will wish.you hadn’t some day.’ We had started a fire, and I could see his face by the light of the blaze. I felt drawn to the man, not from any sympathy of feeeliug, but because ! was convinced there wouldcopie n time when - I could in a measure repay him for his kindness to me. I reached out my band, and said to him : ‘ We’ll stick together awhile, old fellow.’ He would not take it, but said : ‘The kettle boils, we might about as well eat our grub ns to waste time a talking.’ I delivered to him the messages, which he received in silence, aud when I had handed him the package, he only said, ‘lay it down.’ After having made ready for an early start in the morning, I wrapped myself in ray blanket, and, with my feet to the fire, lay down to sleep. When I woke up the blaze had died out, but I could see Bill at a distance, bonding over vrhat proved to be a hole in the ground. After awhile he broke off some green boughs, threw them Into the hole, and then hastily threw in the earth. He then came and sat down by the fire. I watch ed him for an hour or two, but he never moved, aud when 1 woke in the morning he had not changed his position. We started off, but I made an excuse to return, and hurriedly opened the ground where I had seen him working in the night. I do not nuow what I expected to see, but I certainly was surprised when I found under the cover of earth and of green, the little package which had so tearfully been intrusted to my care. I broke the string, and found a small copy of‘Bunyan’e Pilgrim’s Progress.’ •I will keep It,’ I said, ‘and when he needs me most ho will need this.' When wo reached the first miner’s camp, Bill waked up aud was now eager enough, until he had scanned the face of every man. That day ho looked weary, aud it was the first time he laid down when I did for the night. Xu the morning he sold his team, all but two horses* these he packed with the blankets and provisions, and we struck off down the canon, stopping wherever any one was at work, and going out of the way if w© heard of a solitary miner. After awhile he left off tolling mo to leave him, aud I think the companion ship made him feel more human. Once he stopped a week when I seemed tired out, but was restless and uneasy, and he declared ‘another day would kill him.’ ‘Toll me,’ said I one day, * why you will not rest; this life is wearing upon you; you cannot endure half the fatigue you could upou the Plains. Let’s take up a claim and settle down, or if you will goou—let me helpyou; couldn’t I? 1 ‘No,’ he answered, ‘and I believe you are holding me back, I have felt U over since I first looked upon your face when .X found you half dead by those bushes that day. I wish I had' left you die.* He sprang up and confronted mo. ‘ I will have no more of this; X shall go on alone, and don’t you dare to got botweuu mo and.my .work, or I’ll —~ His eyes fell before nffne. 'Do you think I am afraid of you? you. who wouldn't harm even an insect. Haven’t X seen you go out of the way, rather than tread the.life out ofa crawling worm?— Shall all these months of unselfish care for others bo for nothing, and your hasty words make me leave you. Besides,' I said, ‘I have a work ns well as you have.' He looke.d Inquiringly at me. . ‘Shall I toll you what it is?' Ho sat down by the fire which he had lighted. ‘Keepstill,' said he, ‘foramonthmore, and then you may have your say.’ - ; In the morulbg when we started out, the air was heavy with smoke. When we reached San Francisco, after a day or two, we found there bad been ap exten sive fire. Bill was unwearied In helping tp build tents for the hoqrelees, and his money wont freely to feed the starving hundreds, who were likely to find only a ..land. which had promised* them so much. I felt that Inad"never known half of his genuine goodness of heart until those days; and I soon left off* watching him as I had done. We were stopping at oue of the places dignified by the name of ‘Hotel,' and in those ‘early times’ considered magnifi cent in the way of accommodations, and quite worth the fabulous prices which were demanded for them. Our parlor was the bar-room, and our room a bunk, one of a dozen or so in the same apart ment. Wo had been staying there for .perhaps three weeks, when one night I was awakened from a sound sleep by the fall of some heavy body. . I listened, but there was no repetition ; then I groped my way to his bunk, ’ H# was not there, though I had seen him ‘turn in’ when’ I did. I took my bat and passed out through the bar-room into the darkness of the night. Drunken men of all nations and tribes were to be met with on the muddy, side-walks, their horrid oaths and ob scene jests, muttered or shouted in half broken language, reminded me of a very terrible description I listened to when a child, of the abode of the lost. The gleaming lights from the saloons and gambling hells only added another touch to the picture. I hurried on, peering into every placfe where there was light or sound, and I continued the search until the first rosy tints in the east told of the coming day. When I came round to our hotel, I found I bad been sent for three times, and was to remain there until the mes senger came again. I waited two hours, and then saw the bar-tender pointing me out to a Spaniard. He beckoned to me, and 1 followed him without a word. We went through lanes and by-paths, until I font all id«a locality. Finally 1 wo came to a cabin, when he motioned me to come round by the side,; and then he directed me to look through a slight ap erture. Two men lay on the floor, which was covered with blood. I saw at a glance that one was Bill, and the other bore the same face X bad often seen in my dreams. I thought at first that they were both dead, but a low groan came from Bill, and I rushed to the door. X knelt down by him,and spoke. ‘I did not do it,' said he, ‘but I meant to.’ I asked him no question, only if he was able to be moved, ‘Yes, but never mind.’ We made a litter of a door, and by the help of some men the Spaniard brought, we carried him to our hoarding place. I summoned a physician, who pro nounced the wound dangerous, but not necessarily mortal. I watched over him and saved him in spite of his own desire. He chose to die, but by care be came slowly back and took up his burden again. One day I sat by his bed, I took from my pocket a little book I bad found bur : ied under the green boughs. I read two or three chapters aloud, then put it up without a word. He became interested, and I rend on from day to day as he could bear it, until the book was finished. Then he asked, ‘where did you get it? 1 ‘I due it from the ground,’said I, lacon ically. He held his hand for it, and so it.pas sed into bis keeping. When he became strong enough we took walks together, which gradually increased in length until we would spend whole days down by the bay. I knew he would tell me his story when he could bring himself to it. He was two weeks going over It, sometimes giving me a single picture, and at anoth er time unrolling vybole years, like a panorama before me. Hie first remembrance had been a hovel where rum bad left nothing but ruin. He never heard a kind word, or bad a kiss left upon his childish face, but ho hated the meanness and filth which surrounded him and ran away to sea when only fourteen years of age. When he came back, grown to ipanhood, his old home had been by the tide of improvements, and his relations were all gone, save one fair-headed sister who might have been his idol, but she vanished out of his Ijfe without a word of farewell, and for years he never heard of her, or the man who lured her away. The year that I met him he had been through the West; be couldn’t tell what for, except chat he had made money and wanted to spend it. Vice and luxury were strangers to him, so his wants were few and simple. t He came to a cabin, one night, and, as it was late, asked to be allowed to stay ; the man consented, and bade the woman provide some supper for the traveler. His host went out, and his voice could be heard at some distance from the front of the home, The woman eyed him closely from a window, then motioning to Bill, Jed him to a slide window at the rear of the cabin, whispered to him that it was only c mile to the next house, slipped a piece of paper into his hand and bade him run for his life. He said he could not tell how it hap pened, but for the first and only time he ran, from danger. • He aroused the people, and was given a place on the floor to sleep. Saying nothing about his adventure, he managed to read by the light of the coals the paper which the woman bad given him. Imagine his surprise when he found that he had seen his long lost sister, and that she had sought to save his life by getting bim away from her husbaud. who mistrusted that, he had money, and would not hesitate to murder him in order to obtain it. She said ebe had witnessed dreadful things, but begged him not to try to meet her, as liis life would be imperiled. • The next morning he determined to return and have an interview with her, and if possible to persuade her to accom pany him. The house was closed, boards were nailed up before the windows, and no sign of life about the premises* Ho was about leaving when he heard moans. Again he listened, and traced the sound to the window out of which he escaped the previous night. He tore oi| the boards and soon found the sister ho sought, but she was in a dying condition. Bhe bad been terribly beaten by her brutal hus baud : upon her had fallen Che full brunt ofhisdisAppointmeutwhen he discovered his victim had left. She told him ot her terrible suflerings and crime, but death hastily, closed her recital, and poor Bill held a lifeless form in hisarms. He called in tbeonly neighbors, who were the people with whom he had spent the previous night’. Together they bqried the bruised uud mangled body, and over the grave the brother vowed to revenge the life which had been sacrificed for him. He heard of ‘hla man’ crossing the plains, and so ho followed, nursing all the time the deepest hatred in his heart, never doubting that he should find him; uud then the end was plain. Ho hold up his bauds. “I have seou bis blood upon them all tbe way,’ said ho* ‘That night/ bocoutlnued, 'I could uot sleep, and something -whispered that ho was uot far from me. Hoi weuloutaudcou lluued'my search. X heard his voloo on the street. I followed him to his cabin and entered close behind him. I had something to say to him, and you know I couldn’t shoot him down without giv ing him a chance; it wasn’t In mo to do that. But ho turned upon me quicker than thought; and gave me this shot through my shoulder* My right arm dropped powerless to my side, but Isprang upon him, and as we closed he u stab in my side; his own pistol, point ing toward himself, went off, either by accident or design, I shall never know which, and we fell together on the floor, •That Spaniard came in. attracted by the firing.

I guess I have lost my right now to the title the boys gave me.' . . As soon as ho was able, we went back into the country and pitched our tent among the grand old trees., There came days when' the hushed stillness brought thoughts of rest, peace and almost be lieving. 1 ’ ’ Under the branches, where the stray sunbeams touched us with light and healing, E told the story of Him whose blood can wash the deepest stain from human hearts and hands, and into na ture’s temple came the great, Invisible, loving presence which stands human as ever, though unseen—in your very midst, and whose coming into any life will lift it .from its mire and defilement into the lost Faradise which lies about us every where., , ■ - As I dwelt upon tho wondrous love and compassion, he asked earnestly, ‘Why has my life been so dark.and loveless.?’,, Ah, how many aching hearts have asked that, as they look back over dwarfed and thwarted lives. But there came a time when bis ques tionings ceased, and he changed his life long burden for a cross. And for years, ‘Silent BUI’ was known all through the mines and oampi as ‘The Big Elder. 1 THE "CONFESSIONS OF A VAGABOND.” The London Daily News prints a sin gular autobiography—the confessions of a vagabond. A parliamentary report on vagrancy, presented in 1848, noticed at 'some length the case of George .Atkins Brine, a famous vagabond. A charity society of Loudon lately discovered that the man was still living and continuing a course of life which he had followed for nearly half a century. This man has always kept up a correspondence with his family, and his letters are. described as written in an admirable band, with scarcely a single fault In the spelling, and generally end with a few lines - of poetry—either of his own composition or a quotation from some unhackneyed au thor like Quarries. When he desired to. get to a particular place without walking or paying fora ride, if that place happen ed to be the county seat, he. would break windows along the road, and thus ac-- compile!) his object. Tn his own account of himself he says that he adopted vag rancy because he ‘discovered that more money could be got without work than with it.’ As to the means ho has adopted we had best let bim speak for himself. The ‘trade’ which he says he had worked at was that of a butcher: ‘Now, I raqan to make a clean breast of it, I will candidly declare that I have stuck at nothing. I have worked, (but very little) at my trade; I have beeu a •cattle drover, I have been salesman with three different cheap Jacks; I have been a pot-hawker ; I have beeu a vender of pens, paper, razors (Peter Pindar’s), spectacles, iaoes, &c.; I have beeu a dis tributor of religious tracts; I have been in the employ (for two years together) of man slaughtering quack-doctors —four dilferont ones (I am more ashamed of this than of any other.of my follies, for the majority of thein are not robbers on ly, but homicides); I have sold cards at all the principal races in England; I also attended for many years all the principal prize fights ; I have been a ‘shallow cove’ (i. c.'a member of the .land navy), also a ‘higflbyer’ (i. e. a begging letter impos ter), a ‘lurker,’ one who has forty diffbiv eut trades and master of none. My fav orite ‘lurk’ was butcher, tallow chandler or currier, and to crown all, 1 have been a preacher I This game pays well’in remote village streets on Sunday even ings, provided you are •well, stocked with tracts; but I was'not fit for it; iny risi bility is too easy tickled, and once when I was invited to ‘hold forth’ in a small chapel I was in no little danger of grin ning in the pulpit at my roguery.; This was at Rothbury, Northumberland. I must also tell yon, in short, I have been a rogue, imposter and vagabond each and every denomination. I say this be cause it is true, aud because I am now heartily ashamed of it.’ What he has to say in regard to the casual wards he has visited, Is of little consequence further than that ho gives it as his opinion that they all tend to foster vagrancy, and that of every ten tramps nine are imposters or professional tramps. He was asked how many jails he had been, imprisioned in, and .here is his answer: , ‘And how, fouithly, bow many gaols? This is a poser, Weil, ni&re goes. I have been in gaol more than one hundred dif ferent times. There are but two counties in England that I have escaped ‘limbo.’ I have also been in several In Scotland and Wales. In the great majority of oases drunkenness has been the cause; I have not been convicted of felony or larceny, but I have for obtaining money under false pretences, and several times for hawking without a license, »mahy times for vagrancy, smashing windows aud other offences, for the whole .of which I richly deserved hanging* To this I presume, sir, you will say amen.l Professional vagabondism is, wa prb sume, less common in this country than In Europe, but we have other classes of habitual offenders whose cases present a not less interesting problem to the stu dents of social science.. Whenever we hear of the noble deeds of women in tbe supreme hour of peril, 1 when death stares them and.their little, ones in tbe face, we never pass them by without notice. Mrs. Ya,n Hannon re sides on Running Creek, CO miles froth Denver, Early in the faoruing of the 11th of July the Indians made their ap pearance, and her husband and several other men went in pursuit. MrsjVuu H was alone, busily engaged In household duties, when suddenly the- two children, aged five and eight, ran into the rancho crying, ‘ Mamma, mamma, the Indians,, the Indians!’ Two : shots fired at the chlldrn struck the thick oak door, 1 just as ibe young mother sbut.it in the face of three Cheyenne warriors. ing tbe door, and piling bed, bureau and stove before it, the mother sent her little ones Into the cellar and abut them in.— Taking a revolver and an old rusty rifie, the herolo young woman stood near tbe_ open window, shooting only when a painted face made itself visible in the brush. Although the rifle was rusty and out of order, the sight of it at the window with the dragoon revolver, held the three sneaking red skins at a respectful, dis tance. For two liobrs did Mrs. Van H. watch and wait tbo return of her husband and tbe men with him. Twice the In dians attempted to parley and beg for an entrance to tbe house, but tbe motbojc had heard of their atrocities in the coun try, and knew a knife and tomahawk awaited her little ones and captivity for herself. Finding the house Impregnable, and having a mortal dread.of the rifle and pistol in the hands of the determined woman at tbe window, the party left, af ter setting fire to tho hay and barn. The smoke soon attracted tho attention of the 1 scouting party, which returned to'find the brave little woman still on guard and her children shut in tho collar.— VOL. 58:—NO. 14. STORIES ABOUT RATTLESNAKES. A Horrible Plnylblng. The Lynchburg Republican publishes the following "snake stories,” anil says they can be substantiated by undisputable testimony. They are only some of the trifling experience of the mountaineers with the rattlesnakes: ' TUierearbln the Blue Ridge two distinct ■pedes—the yellow and the black. The yellow was formerly supposed-to be the male, and the black the female; but the fallacy of that opinion la demonstrated by the fact that in many localities only one of these kinds is ever seen, and also by-the great difference in size and form, the yellow being very thick and short, and the. black long and slender.. But both of these are beautifully ornamented with flower, which,ln the sunlight par take of all the colors of the rainbow The ■yellow snake Is much less llable-to rattle ”tßan'TEe KroW.TnantTiWlbW'lnosrioTJe' dreaded, though no dependence need be .placed In either, as It depends altogether upon the caprice of the moment whether they retreat, advance, rattle, of ploy ‘pos sum.’ The partiality of this-snake for the company of childron-has been fre quently noticed among the mountaineers, one instance of which Is familiar to some of our Bedford readers. - A lew years ago a farmer, whoso cabin stood in one of the wildest localities aboutlhe mountains, on coming Into thehouseonoday discovered his little daughter, two years old, sitting tip in bed, where she had been placed when asleep by her mother. The child 'was laughing Immoderately, and showing by its every action and expression of coun tenance that it was greatly pleased. The father approached, when to his horror he discovered that an enormous yellow rat tlesnake, the largest he had ever seen, was in bed with the child, and actually coiled around her. body. His presence instantly wrought a change In the conductof thesnake, which dextroualy uncoiled itself from around the child and asau pied an attitude of battle.' The mountaineer's riflle hungupon a rack over the door; he grasped it in his hand with feelings which cannot be described,' and swatted an opportunity to shoot. ‘ He had no sooner done so than the snake commenced caressing the child.t>y rub* blnghis head fondly against her cheek, and v dartlug hisiforked tongue almost In her eyes, /.Then he would raise bis tail and rattle so rapidly as to make one con tinued sound, at which the ,chlld .was .greatly delighted. But Upon the Icadt mpvementof thealmost distracted parent, the snake would entirely change the tone of bis faltlelng and swell to almost twice its natural size.' During all this time the child tightly’grasped the snake with its chubby little hands, and jerked and twisted.him about.in a very rude and un ceremonious manner, laughing and talk ing to her horrid plaything in a perfect ecataoy of delight. This stale of things was finally ended by a movement of the parent, which so enraged the snake that he drew himself up in a tight coil, leaped out of bed, and would have buried his fangs in the farmer's face had he not quickly dodged to .one side. As it was,.the serpent went over his shoulder and out at the door, where he renewed the signal for battle, but was quickly stretched out stiff* in death by a shot from the rifle;— The child cried immoderately for her pretty plaything, and If set down Jn any part of tho yard would immediately tod dle toward the dead reptile. A party of young men in tho same neighborhood, only a few years ago. had a v.ery Interesting adventure with a rat tlesnake, which may be briefly stated.— Early in the fall of the year, and before the snabes bad “boused 1 ’ tip for the win ter, this party went out one night on a raccoon bunt. About midnight the dogs “treed” a family of coons in one of the largest trees In the neighborhood. It was. decided to wait until daylight to capture them,with the hope that the cutting down of the tree could be dispensed with. The young men laid down upon the ground, and were amusing themselves with telling stories, when one of the party, who was thoroughly acquainted with the habits and peculiarities of the rattlesnakes, sud denly called out, “Lie still, boys, do not' move for anything. There's rattlesnakes here; I heard one's rattles hit a rook.’,’—, He had scarcely spoken when an euor mo us rattlesnake came crawling over hlfe foot, and following his leg to bis body, crossed over his breast, striding his next, neighbors face, and crawling over hia mouth. The third party was not touched by the snake, except that his rattles tap ped lightly against his cap-brim as he passed. Tho fourth huntsman heard the rattle, sprang to his feet and ascended a tree with remaTkable agility. This snake was Immediately followed by another, not quite so large, and then by four very smalloues, all of which traveled precisely the same path. When daylight came the raccoona were shot, and then the search for the snake commenced.. They were found in a hollow stump, but a'few steps off, and wove all killed. Curiosities of the Mint. —One of the most attractive departments of. {be Unit* ed States Mint is the curiosity and coin room. Herein cases; arranged with great care, are some of the most’interesting specimens in metallurgy. Austria, Por tugal and Spain furnish,26o.corns, which represent the currency of those countries. The German States are also well repre sented. Turkey, Egypt, Algiers, Persia, Tripoli, Hiudostan, China, Japan, and all the Eastern countries contribute thqir quota in various shapes, sizes and values. The Roman colnsrare.very valuable. One series dates through the years from A. D. 395 to 1448, Coins of the Greek Republic are also Exhibited. The specimens ,of minerals are also attractive. In 1558, In opening.an ancient grave in Central America, three golden.imageswere found therein ; one Is in the form'of a map, another a reptile, and the third a bird.— These were deposited in the mint. The curipsitiesare numerous, and quite long catalogue could be made of all that is at tractive, instructive and interesting. A TALE OF HORROR !

Pickett then asked the w om aa whether she intended-to ride with him and she replied, “Ob no; I’ll take a coupe, and will be there when you come.” The day Hr., Kinne and Dr. Parker, of Patterson, New Jersey, visited tbe Morgue and identified tbe body of, tbe mutdered-gtrt' os that of Alios A.
