George Francis Train Solves the Indian Question. tFrout the Urnalut Heralit , June Fith.t Train's speech to the Vice President's Senatorial party cuts right and left. As usual, he is heading against the tide, but tells some truths that will create a sensation. He said : You are just in time, Mr. President, to, help me settle the Indian question. We must introduce them to the Esqui maux. Sumner's sixty page speech proves that the climate is full of hunt ing fields. [Laughter.] The only way to settle the question, is to sell our iron clads to Russia and Japan, and give me the contract to remove the Indians forth with, to the cool and refreshing climate of our New Territory, Whale•oil-iau. Laughter and applause.] To show that I am willing to do the fair thing, I will agree to uivide the profits with the President, Cabinet, Senate, House, Gov ernors of States, and 'Cliurlow Weed [laughter] ; and I will donate one hun dred thousand dollars toward defeating Grant, and elevatinlr myself to the Presidency. [Laughter.] Lo! the poor Indian is on the war path. Comanche, Sioux, Blackfeet, Crows, Pall-Ute, Arapahoes, Poncas, Moquins, Apaches, Cheyennes, Brules, Ogallallas, IJncapas, Yankton and San sures ! The holy alliance is signed. The struggle is for life or death ! Fight or starve! They are all united, sixty thousand strong ! The Seminole Chief speaks for all the tribes: "Blaze with your serried columns, 1 will not bend the knee, The shackle ne'er again shall bind The arm that now is free. " I scorn your prolfered treaty, 11w pale-face I defy, I'll curse ye with my latest breath, And hate you t 11l I die." Then be it so. Our Christianity has triumphed. We have bought his birth right for less than a mess of pottage. How grand our civilization. We have debauched him, robbed him, swindled him ! [That's so.] Are we not chris tiaus We lie, we cheat, we steal! Are we not his superiors? [Laughter.] We make treaties only to break them ! Wil liam Penn ratified his without an oath, and it was good. We solemnly swear, and " damn " is the first Christian word the Indian learns. Most of his Great Fathers at Washington swear! Our church steeples still point toward Heaven. The Indian is too low down for our philanthropy, except with the Lutherans. Two Lutheran missionaries have just come in from the war path, and my information is better than the War Department or the Interior. Itell you we are on the eve of a great Indian war. [Sensation.] Columbus was welcomed; Cabot re ceived with open arms : "The while man landed ; need the rest be told The new world stretched Its dark hand to th old." Had the Pequoi killed Miles Standish, had Powhattan tomallawked Smith, Longfellow would not have written of John Alden, the Pocahontas history might dot have proved a fable. Cooper never would have painted an Uncas representative Indian, and Black Hawk would have never made Jackson Presi dent, or Tecumseh pushed Harrison Into the White House. While I have no special admiration for the poetical views our authors and painters have given of the red man's bravery and noble characteristics, I am thoroughly 'convinced that religious wars or political hate never committed greater outrages in the Old World than the cruelties we have practiced upon the Indians in the natneof Christianity, civilization and commerce in the New. [Cheers and applause.] Yes, you may talk about Suraj ul Dowlah, and the Black Hole of Cal cutta, or old Malakoff smothering the Algerians in the African caves, or Exe ter Hall firing off Sepoys from the Pun jaub cannon. But you may search all history for a barbarian's torture equal to clergyman Chivington's unprovoked massacre of the women and children of the Cheyennes. [Sensation.] Yet ex termination is the frontier cry. Well, if commerce demands it, wipe them out, but don't call it Christianity.— bNO !"] Thirty thousand pulpits have eene, working day and night for thirty years for the blacks, but not a word for the reds. Missionaries go to the utter most parts of the earth to civilize the heathen. The Indians are too near home—you can't christianize the In dian. He tells too much truth the mo ment he gets into the church. When they converted the old Mackinaw Chief there was great rejoicing in the Metho dist prayer meeting. He was loudly ap plauded when rising to give his ex perience. But the old fellow was too honest—too confidential—had lived too long among the whites—and when he went into details and showed how wicked he was, and became personal, telling where he had divided the In dian goods among the congregation and spoke of his amours openly, several brothers and one or two sisters got up and left the congregation. [" Oh," laughter and applause.] To show how fairly we deal with the Indians, it is well to mention that while our Indian Agents only get fif teen hundred dollars salary, they are enabled, by great industry and econo my. to retire in two or three years, rich and owners of houses and estates.— " That's so—they have been swin dled."] For great is Diana of the Ephe sians. [Laughter.] Negroes can be enslaved--Indians can't. Four dis tinct races of men are on thecontinent, representing four types of horse nature. The white man is the Arabian horse; the black man the donkey who bears the burden; the Indian is the Zebra— you can' never tame him—while the mulatto Is the mule, who inherits most of the vices and few of the virtues of his fathers. [Loud applause. By a Demo cratic Senator—" That's a libel on the mule."] The Indian will not be a slave. Four millions of blacks were enslaved, but nary red.' The reds believed in the whites' and have been driven from hunting field to hunting field, until even Indian nature rebels, from the Atlantic almost to the Pacific. They hardly get settled ',their new reservation before we covet it, and when we can't cheat him out of It, we drive him out of it.— [Shame.] Scarcely five thousand out of every hundred thousand dollars voted theta ever readies the tribe. The Indian agent divides' with the Indian trader, the Indian trader divides with the suf. VOLUME 68 ler ; the sutler divides with the farmer . and the ranchman, all get rich ; while the Indian, having lost his lands and game, is left to starve. [Sensation.] Sanatin-ta told the whole story the other day to General Hancock, and the Indian agent stopped the council, for he couldn't stand the Indian's fire. An Indian war will stop emigration, stop gold mining, and throw the West back twenty years. General Sherman says we can have peace or war. Give them justice and we can have peace; injustice and war is certain. If Billy Bowlegs could, keep us at bay twenty years in Florida, these hostile tribes unless pacified will make us add one hundred millions to the debt. Can we afford it? [Covode, " No, 'tie big enough already."] Most frontier towns like war; it makes trade good ; hence traders and militia men soon become active,for are we not a virtuous people? ["Good!" and laugh ter.] The wheel within wheel system works charmingly in this enterprising community. Help me cheat the Indi ans and I will give you one-half! The officer on small salary says " extermin ation," and the war ougle is sounded. One fact: The powder and ball with which they shoot us down we sold them the other day ! That is our Indian policy. Another fact: The Indians are tne best mounted cavalry in the world !—we are sending out infantry to fight them. Bah! what uonesense ! Again, one frontiersman like Major North or " old Wicked" is worth a hundred new recruits from the East. If the Church and State say war, let it be done as expensively as possible. The more it costs, the more taxes, and the surer we arc to pay the national debt. [Applause.] I hope that Generals Sully and Parker may succeed in separating the friendly from the hostile tribes in their northern expedition with the chiefs, but I doubt it. Sully is a good man for conciliation. Was it not his men and His whisky that massacred the Indians in the North before Phil. Kearney was attacked? Keep faith! respect treaties! don't cheat them! don't lie to them! don't steal from them, and the Indians are at peace.— [Applause.] The Indians always kept faith ! the whites generally lied. What occurred before 1853? Did not the over land emigrants pass the Indian hunt ing fields in safety? That was the year a scamp of an emigrant shot an Indian to test his skill ! [Shame. i Revenge was sudden. In two days the train was destroyed; then more ambuscades. Whites against Indians. Babbitt's mail party was lost. Lieutenant Grat ton was killed with his men in pursuit. The Sioux war of '54-5 followed. When Harney and Co.ik, •at Blue Water that year closed the fight with a solemn treaty, giving them all the land between the Platte and Missouri. " This is your land," said Harney, to Little Thunder, Chief of the Siou.k, "and you can kill any white man who trespasses thereon." But Presto ! Montana gold was found. Miners pour in with re volvers. Harney's treaty is forgotten. Outrages are frequent; massacres are reported. Human nature was simply Indian nature. Then came the age of Brigadier Generals and Indian Com missioners; big pow-wows and sham treaties. The Indians refuse the right of the Powder River route to Montana —more talks—more treaties, when Tay lor meets them at Laramie and sells them the powder and ball that was used at the Phil. Kearney massacre. [Sen sation, " shame !"] Then War Depart ment says you did it ! Interior Depart ment replies you are a liar ! Bogy makes his report, and War Departthent escapes by dismissing poor General Cooke, who had nothing to do with it. [A Senator, "Exactly, now you have it."] General Augur succeeds. Another pow-wow commission. Buford follows. Judge Kinney goes to see the Crows. Colonel Lewis organizes volunteers for Mon tana. Thurlow Weed's friend, young Clark, of the U. P. R. R. Engineer Corps, is killed. Hurford loses his stock while getting out ties. Kountz & Ruth lose one hundred mules, Jack Morrow all his cattle. The Denver stage is at tacked, and the war is looming up by every dispatch. Senator Trumbull, you are right in saying that "there is not an animal that walks or creeps that will not turn and bite if trod upon. [" True," ap plause.] Thomas Francis Meagher is an old friend of mine, but I fear he has made a mistake in hoisting the black flag in Montana tucainst an entire race, be cause one white man was killed by five Indians for making immodest pro posals to an Indian squaw, and the belle of their tribe. [Laughter. Senator Yates—" And was that so?"] Yes. My information is authentic; I had it from the squaw herself. [Laughter.] I agree with John Covode, "that an Indian war will bust McCulloch and knock spots out of some of the military generals." I also agree with you, Mr. Parsons, that killing the , lndian traders is better than killing the Indians. [Sensation.] Once more. Science, civilization and Christianity are ahead, as land pur chasers. Where is it recorded in any other country that 3,000,000 square miles of gold mines and wheat fields were purchased for a string of beads and a bottle of whisky? [Loud applause.] Allah it Allah ! The End of Time. We are passing on, slowly but surely on, to our graves. Each day brings us nearer to that unseen world, that strange country, into which so many enter to dwell in happiness or misery forever. We meet with no returning travelers, who can relate to us their experience; they pass on never to return. We fol low our friends with straining eyes, as one by one they pass the sea of life and drawing near to the shadowy land of eternity vanish from our sight. Then the warning speaks deeply to our un willing hearts. Perchance we have seen a beloved one taken (rum our family circle. We have peen the cheek so bright with health and beauty, grow pale and wan. We have listened to the dear voice, and marked how each day it grew more faltering, till it was hushed in the silence of death—then we have drawn the hair from the plain cold brow, and seen the delicate form deposited in the tomb. It is in moments like those that we fully realize our actual condition— that we ourselves are slowly, yet surely, traveling towards our graves. How many there are who seldom give any consideration to this serious sub ject. They are too busy, too anxious after worldly wealth and power, put• ting forth all their talents and energy for one great object in view—the posses sion of gold, passing with a careless glance and unfeeling heart, the poor in their desolation and misery ; guarding with miserly care their dollars and dimes, unconsciously sowing that others may reap, for the time set apart in the future for rest and enjoyment perhaps never comes. Ere that time their souls may be called away, an account de manded for the misused talents entrus ted to their care. Oh! human nature! what strange phases you present to au observing eye. The gay, the sorrowful, the talented, the obscure, the impenitent, the be liever, the rich and the poor, yet all passing along to the unknown world. What are riches, talent, wealth, power or fame, placed in the balance with eternity? Mere bubbles that do not, or rather ought not, satisfy • the cravings of the heart. Days, weeks, months and years followed each other in succession ; but we should consider how we shall appear when the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll and the angel of God shall declare, " ! Time was but it is no longer." The Archduchess Matilde, of Austria, who was terribly burned by her dress catching fire on the 22d ult., it is now thought will recover. Waldemar Bodisco, secretary of the Rus sian legation, who left a short time ago for St. Peterhburg, to convey to his govern ment the ratified Russian American treaty, arrived at New York on Mondry, in the steamer Pereire. An Artless German Girl Marries a Prince. We find in the Paris letter of the Lon don Court Journal 'a bit of romance, amusingly tricked up in the unctuous and dainty language of a thoroughbred Court Jenkins. The condescension of the writer borders on the sublime : The arrival, which has created the greatest interest of all in the poetical portion of the public, is that 'of the Princess of , who having left Paris in the suit of the talented and admired literary baroness on whom devolves the entire responsibility of sustaining the aristocracy of genius in our capital, has returned after three years' ab sence as the beloved and honored wife of a prince of one of the great est reigning families in Germany. Much whispering and mysterious con sultation has been held for some time past, as the baroness, always frank and generous, had announced that the very circumstances which had preceded the marriage of the Princess rendered it doubly incumbent upon her to be the first to do the honors of Paris to one, who, returning in a new character, might be regarded as a stranger in the place, and visiting it for the first time. As she had expected, curiosity in the many, and real interest in the few, in duced all her invites to accept the sum mons -he issued for a grand party on Shturday night. "To meet the Princess P. de ." Need we say how various were the schemes afloat to display or conceal the sentiments with which the old aristocracy of Francehad beheld the terrible inesalliance formed by one of the highest and most venerated of their caste in Germany? Some of the greatest ladies, taking for example their noble and magnanimous hostess, resolved at once to act as she had done, and re ceive the new Princess into their coterie without the arriere pensee, and in spite of her humble origin. Her entree was not devoid of a certain degree of cere mony, and at once all prejudice and scruple seemed to vanish at sight of the charming simplicity and absence of all affectation or embarrassment with which she moved slowly forward and greeted her former mistress, now be come her honored hostess, as far as the hierarchy of social life is concerned, attired with exquisite taste, and al though with a modification of costume, still in a manner sufficiently national to recall the attire of her native place. She wore not a single ornament or jewel of any kind. The dress, entirely of rich silken material, was nevertheless cut in the quaint fashion of the humble class to which by birth she belongs, but the husband's insistence was visible in the broad dame-colored ribbon she wore cn sautoir with the insignia of the order of which, by her marriage, she becomes a member by right, and in the peculiar manner in which the thick masses of her rich golden hair were plaited over her forehead, in exact imitation of the peculiar crown belonging to his princely house. Not for au instant was the smallest doubt suffered to remain upon the minds of the guests as to the posi tion which the newly made Princess intended to assume. She spoke at once with the most easy grace of the pleasure and surprise she had experienced on be holding the iiuplovciuents which had been made in the mansion since she had left it, and was enthusiastic in her ad miration of the picture begun in her time by the Barouness, and which is but just now completed. There was no affectation of display in her memory of the past, but at the same time there was no attempt to ward off the same remin iscence in others. And by this freedom from all pretension or embarrassment her position wasso firmly established and so honestly accepted by the high-born company assembled there, thatin a little while it had been almost forgotten that her origin tallied not with theirs, and that had she but faltered for an in stant she would have been driven back to her former position, and never have been advanced to her present one. It was just as she was rising to depart that her eye catching the gilt balus trade of the gallery which runs along and end of the saloon, she remarked the improvement in tapestry and old carved oak work which has been placed behind. " Ah, from thence I have ) heard the sweetest sounds that ever cheered my solitude," observed the Baroness, smiling with affection on her visitor. " And why should you not hear them now ?" was the quick reply; and before the Baroness had recovered from her astonishment at this readiness to acknowledge the days gone by on the part of the Princess, the latter mounted the steps and stood leaning over the balustrade, looking down with calm self-possession on the company beneath. The accomplished hostess needed no pressing to repair immediately to the piano, and the first cords of " Una voce poco fa" having been struck, a deep silence immediately pervaded the as sembly, and to the amazement and de light of all present, with the most heav enly voice and most exquisite tasty in the world, did the Princess begin the execution of the most difficult of all the chef d' wuvres of Rossini. When the song was over the Princess descended the stair without the smallest symptom of timidity or shyness, and soon after retired, leaving the Baroness the task of telling the history of her guest, which has become the current story of the week. A few years ago the Baroness took into her service a simple German girl, whosesister, her former femme-de chambre, had married and left her. The young peasant girl, an apt and intelli gent pupil, soon learned all the mys teries of her craft, and became ere long of the greatest value to her mis• tress, who being essentially a femme artiste, was always more dependent on her attendant than any other lady in her station. She had chosen her to accompa ny her on a journey to Florence she made for the purpose of copying a picture in the gallery there. The girl had immense musical taste, and while at Florence managed to become acquainted with the melodies of the principal operas then performing, and when waiting for her mistress in the evening would slug at her work by the open casement with intense enjoyment when she had caught the exact notes of any of the airs which had struck her fancy. Prince P. de— lived alone in a pavilion at the bottom of the garden belonging to the villa oc cupied by the baroness. Always eccen• tric in everythlng,:and belonging to an eccentric family, he was determined to become acquainted with the singer who had so often charmed his solitude, and, if single and of good moral conduct, to marry her in spite of the gu'en diral on. So he got introduced to the ba roness, and endeavored to couter fieu rette to the maid, but the latter was firm in her principles and resisted all his offers of settlement and arrangement, and any other agreement than that made before the mayor first and the priest afterward. His pursuit seems to have been so well organized that the poor girl became alarmed, and was one day discovered in tears by the Prince. She was just sealing a letter she had been writing. " For my mother—to tell her that I must return—the place is dangerous and I cannot stay." " Then let me add a word to the epistle," re marked the eccentric Prince ashe seized the letter, and, tearing it open, wrote upon the second page a demand in due form of the hand of the fair femme-de chambre, inviting the good lady, her mother, to the wedding, which, with her approval, would take place immedi ately. And so it did, and the Princess of —, visiting Paris for the first time since her marriage, Jias been received as you have seen. North Carolina Gold Mines. An old miner writes to the Claartlin-C 4 , (N. C.) Times that the gold mining inteiltcY' , of the western part of that State is attractiiikig a large share of attention from northern? capitalists. The hotels are crowded with \ them, and every train bringsmills, engines and machinery to be used in working the mines. About eighteen or twenty stamp mills are up and being erected, four or rive of which are now in full operation; and at the Huey mine they have a ten stamp mill, which is now producing $3OO in bullion per day. Scientific miners from California, with large experience in gold mining, have (man:lined the paining interests of that State, and have pronounced them equal to the rich"valleys arid mountain gorges of that' famous land of gold LANCASTER PA. WEDNESDAY MORNING, JUNE 26 1867. Another Borgia. A Switzerland correspondent writes: Between Arvier and the village of Liveroque one sees at the top;of a craggy cone the ruins of an old chateau. It is a genuine eagle's nest, and is surround ed, by precipices that "from level meadow basins of deep grass suddenly scale the light." These shapeless tumuli are all that remain of Mootmayeur. The baron of this title was the terror of his vicinity, and well deserved the motto which his family had borne for ages— Unguibuo a rostro. Having at one time a lawsuit on his hands which concerned the ownership of a vast estate that he claimed, he presented himself before Guy de Ferrigny, Presi dent of the Senate of Chambery, and pressed his suit. The latter, overcome by his importunity, promised to use his influence with the Senate to gain a decision in his favor: Unhappily, he was not successful, and this body decided unanimously against him. The ruined suitor said noth ing for a few days, but at length called on the President, and said to him : "Af ter some reflection, I feel convinced that the Senate gave a just verdict in my case. I had little light on my side, and deserved to lose it. I wish to bury the past, and in order to cement more friendly relations with a relative whom r have unjustly attacked, I propose to give an entertainment to him and a number of my friends at my chateau.— It is to take place to-morrow, and I should be gratified if you would make one of the party." He smiled as he said this, and affectionately pressed Fer rigny's hands. The latter accepted the invitation, and on the next day found himself at the baron's door at the hour appointed. All was dark and silent. There was no light gleaming of a hospitable wel come across the dark valley, nor any of the bustle and preparation that denote the expected arrival of bidden guests. The President prepared to depart, for his mind mistrusted some disaster, when his host reappeared. He was calm and serene, and his reception , 1 his guest bland and cordial. "My other friends have disappointed me," he quietly said, " and we will not await them longer. We will place ourselves at table forth with, Alfons, muncher President. The banquet was luxurious and delicious. The wines were exquisite. Host and guest pledged each other iu cups of gold. The gaiety of the former excited that of the latter, and soon forgetting any suspicion, Ferrigny abandoned himself to the winning hospitality of his entertainer. When the Baron at length saw his guest entirely given up to the pleasures of the occasion and reposing tranquilly on the assurances of friendship which he had at intervals lavished upon him, he suddenly looked him in the face with a serious air and said, "Are you a good Christian, Seigneur President ?" "Certainly," was the reply, "why do you ask that ?" " Turn your head and look," said the Baron. Ferrigny did so, and trembled. In an adjoining room, behind a curtain which had just been raised, was an open coffin on a bier. Around it were a dozen figures clothed like monks, each with a long wax taper lighted in his hand, and solemnly chant ing the funeral service of the church. Before the bier was a block. At its side was an executioner, clothed in red, and resting his hand on a shining ax. " By the loss of my suit I am poorer by a hundred thousand livres. You are the sole cause thereof, and you thus willed it from the beginning. Guy Fer rigny," cried Montmayeur, iu a voice of thunder, " if you are a good Chris tian as you say, commend your soul to God, for you must die!" Frozen by these terrible words, the unhappy President could not at first reply. At length recovering his presence of mind, he said : " Baron I beg you will cease this cruel pleasantry." "It is no pleasantry," was the response.• "Offer your last prayer forthwith, for nothing can save you now," said the ferocious baron, on whose iron counten ance the certainty of gratified revenge had already impressed the lineanient of a fiend. In vain were the piteous ap peals of the victim for his wife, his children, and his own safety. At a signal from the baron the pretended monks came forward and seized the President. A second later and his head had fallen beneath the ax. On the morrow the lord of Montmay eur mounted his horse, and departed for Chambery. Behind him he placed a leathern bag, which had lately held the papers relating to his law suit. On his arrival he went at once to the Senate. Your lordships," said he to thejudges who had already assembled, and were awaiting the arrival oftheirchief. " One thing was wanting for the completion of my case ; I have brought it you." With these words he placed the bag upon the President's desk and departed, after politely saluting them. Time went on and the Magistrate did not appear. The Judge at length, seeing some drops of blood upon his desk, opened the bag and beheld the head of the unfortunate Guy de Ferrigny. So much for the ad ministration of justice in the Middle Ages. Every etlbrt was made to bring the murderer to justice In spite of his power and wealth. He was outlawed, and his property confiscated. He took refuge in his rocky stronghold and de fied the law for years. Vhat became of him neither history nor tradition ever told. Infamy made him famous, and his evil life was handed down to posterity linked with athousandcrimes. There is a sheriff residing in Illinois who was "taken in and done for" on one occasion. He made it a prominent part of his business to ferret out and punish peddlers for traveling through the State without a license; but one morning he met his match in the per son of a genuine Yankee peddler. "What have you got to sell—any thing 7" asked the sheriff. •'Yeas, sartin ; what d'ye want? Got razore, fast, that's an article you need, squire, I should say by the looks of your baird. Got good blackin ; 'twill make them old boots of yourn shine so't you can shave in 'em e nomost. Balm of Clumby, too, only a dollar a bottle; gnu for the ha' r and assisteu poor hu man natur, as the poet says." And so he rattled on. At length the sheriff bought a bottle of the balm of Columbia, and in reply to the question whether he wanted anything else, that functionary said he did—he wanted to see the Yankee's license for pedlinpin Illinois, that being his duty as Sheriff. The Yank showed him a document fixed up good and strong, in black and white. The sheriff looked at it and pronounced it all right. Then handing back the bottle to the peddler, he said "I don't think, now that I've bought this stuff, I shall ever want it. I reckon I might as well sell it back to you. What will you give for it ?" "0, the darn stuff is no use to me, but seein' it's you, sheriff, I'll give you I twenty-five cents for it, if you really don't want it." The sheriff handed over the bottle at the large discount from his own pur chase, and received his change. " Now," said the peddler, " I've got a question to ask • you. Have you got any peddler's license about your trow sers anywhere?" " No ; I hav'nt any use for the article, myself," replied the sheriff. "Hain't eh? Wal, I guess we'll see about that, pooty darn soon. Ef I un derstand the law it's a clear case that you've been tradin' with me--hawkin , and peddlin' balm of Columby on the ighway—l'll inform on you—darn'd if :don't, now !" The Yankee was as good as his word. (n he reached the next village he me hiscomplaint, and the sheriff was idled eight dollars for selling without a license. _ _ He was heard afterwards to say, that " you might as well try to hold a greased eel as a live Yankee." One of our Western exchanges says : "We notice in an Indiana paper the marriage of Mr.'Thos. N. Lyon to Miss Mollie Lamb. Another scriptural prophesy , in process of fnllflllment: `The lion and the lamb shall lie down together, and '—after a while—' a little' child will lead therri." A Yankee Pedler 'Carlosliies of Marriage How Different Natione Regard the Marl tal Relation—lnteresting Resume. 'Marriage Is the first and most ancient of all institutions. As the foundation of society and the family, it is univer sally observed throughout the globe, no nation having been discovered, how ever barbarous, which does not cele brate the union of the sexes by cere mony and rejoicing. The abuses of the institution, as polygamy, infidelity, and divoree, have in no manner touched its existence, however they may have vitiated its purity. The condition of women in all coun tries has afforded a fruitful theme for the observation of the traveler, and the speculations of the philosopher and the novelist. It has been uniformly found that the savage is the tyrant of the female sex, while the position and considera tion given to women is advanced in proportion to the refinement of social life. Under the laws of Lycurgus, Numa, and even later law givers, the power of the husband over his wife was absolute, sometimes even including the power over life or death. The wife was always defined and treated as a thing, not as a person—the absolute property of her lord. In the earlier ages a man might sell his children or his wife in differently, and relics of this rude ens tom still survive, even among nations called civilized and christian. In the countries of the east, where polygamy is almost universal, marriage is not the sacred tie which it is held to be in Christian countries. In Persia men marry either for life or for a deter minate time. Travelers or merchants commonly apply to the magistrate for a wife during residence in any place, and the cadi produces a number of girls for selection, whom he declares to be honest and healthy. Four wives are permitted to each husband in Persia, and the same number is allowed by the Mohammedan law to the Mussulman. Iu Chinese Tartary a kind of male polygamy is practiced, and a plurality of husbands is highly respected. In Thibet it is customary for the brothers of a family to have a wife in common, and they generally live in harmony and comfort with her. Among the Calmucks, the ceremony of marriage is performed on horseback. The girl is first mounted, and permitted to ride off at full speed, when her lover takes a horse and gallops after her. If he over takes the fugitive she becomes his wife. and the marriage is consummated on the spot. It is said that no instance is known of a Calmuck girl ever being overtaken unless she is really fond of her pursuer. The Arabs divide their affections be- tweeu their horses and their wives, and regard the purity of blood in the former quite as much as in their offspring. Polygamy is practed only by the rich, and divorces are rare. In Ceylon the marriage proposal is brought about by the man first sending to her whom he wishes to become his wife, fo purchase her clothing. These she sells for a stip ulated sum, generally asking as much as she thinks requisite for them to begin the world with. In the evening he calls on her, with the wardrobe, at her father's house, and they pass the night in each other's company. Next morn ing, if mutually satisfied, they appoint the day of marriage. They are per mitted to separate whenever they please, and so frequently avail themselves of this privilege that they sometimes change a dozen times before their in clinations are wholly suited. In Hindoostan the women have a peculiar veneration• for marriage, as it is a popular creed that those females who die virgins are excluded from the joys of paradise. In that precious coun try the women begin to bear children at about the age of twelve, some even at eleven. The proximity of the natives of India to the burning sun, which ripens men, as well as plants, at the earliest period in these tropical latitudes, is assigned as the cause. The distin guishing mark of the Hindoo wife is the most profound fidelity, submission and attachment to her husband. O n the banks of the Senegal,and among many African tribes, the matrimonial prize most sought after Is abundance of flesh. To obtain corpulence Is regarded as the only real comeliness. A female who can move with the aid of two men is but a moderate beauty, while the lady who cannot stir, and is only to be moved on a camel, is esteemed a perfect paragon. . . Nor is this queer fancy for obesity in women confined to the savages of the torrid zone, since we read in Wrqxall's travels in Russia that "in order to possess any preeminent degree of love liness, a woman must weigh at least two hundred weight." The Em- press Elizabeth, and Catharine 11., both accounted very fine women, were of this massive kind. In Italy, matches are made with pro verbial levity, and marriage vows, if report speaks truly, are easily broken. Young virgins are systematically bar- tered and sold by their parents, and young people are married every day who never saw one another before.— Concubinage Is a constant remedy fo these ill-advised and deceitful marri ages, and the peculiar term eici.vbco indicates the indemnity which custom prescribes for the fair sex fettered to husbands unloved. In France, as has often been remark ed, women monopolize all the society and a large share of the business of life. The coffee houses, the theatres,the shops cabarets, or, drinking shops, are fill ed with women. Women lord it at all assemblies, and are better informed and more capable managers than men. Marriage is looked upon not so much as a matter of affection as of interest, and the sacredness of the tie is proportion ately slender Marriage in Sweden is commonly gov erned wholly by the will of the parents, and is founded upon interest. A stolen match is almost unheard of. and persons of either sex seldom marry before the age of twenty-five or thirty. Divorces are very rare. Russia appears to be the most prepos erous country in Europe in treatmen of women. The nuptial ceremonies, all and singular, are based upon the idea of the degradation of the female. When the parents have agreed upon the match, the bride is examined by anum ber of women to see if she has any bodily defect. On her wedding day she is crowned with a garland of wormwood, to denote the bitterness of the marriage state. She is exhorted to be obedient to her husband, and it is a custom in some districts for the newly married wife to present the bridegroom with a whip, in token. of .submission, and with this he seldom fails to show his authority. In this cold and cruel country husbands are sometimes known to torture their wives to death without any punishment for the murder. If a woman proves barren, the husband generally prevails on her to retire into a convent and leave him at liberty. If he fails in per suasion, he is permitted to whip her into condescension. Such is the slavery in which the Mus covites are kept by their parents and guardians, that they are not allowed to dispute any union agreed upon by their elders, however odious or incompatible it may be. This extends so far, that of ficers in the army are not permitted to marry without the consent of the sov ereign, and wives whom they do not want are even sometimes forced upon them. Whether it be the result of this sys tem of oppreassion, or of their savage climate, or of the unnatural hot air of the stove heated apartments, It is cer tain that a more unlovely race of women than the Russian would be difficult to find. "They want," says an English traveler, "the genuine flavor which only nature can give. That charming firmness and elasticity of flesh, so in dispensably requisite to constitute beau ty, and so delicious to the touch, exists not among the Russian females, or in very few of them." We are told of the Aleutian Islanders who form a part of our new Russian American acquisition, that they marry one, two, or three wives, as they have the means of supporting them. The bridegroom takes the bride upon trial, and may return her to her parenth, ,should he not be satisfied, but cannot :demand his presents batik again. No :man is allowed to sell his wife without ;her consent; but he may (and often ! does) assign her over to another. This 'custom. it is said, is availed of by the •Russian bunters, who take Aleutian :women orgirls to wife for a time for a 'trifling compensation. A New Letter by Artemus Ward In the " Savage Club Papers " isgiven the following letter by " Artemus Yv'ard." He says I was sitting in the bar, quietly smokin' a frugal pipe, when two mid dle aged and stern looking females and a young and pretty female suddenly en tered the room. They were accompa nied by two umbrellers and a negro gentleman. "Do you feel for the down trodden?" said one of the females, a thin-faced and sharp-voiced person in green spectacles. "Do I feel for it?" ausered the lan'lord, in a puzzled voice —" Do I feel for it?" " Yes ; for the oppressed, the benited ?" "Inasmuch as to which ?" said the lan'lord. " You see this man ?" said the female, pintin' her umbreller at the negro geutletnan. "Yes warm, I see him." " Yes !" said the female, raisin' her voice to au exceeding high pitch, "you see him, and he's your brother!"No ' I'm darned if he is," said the lan'lord, hastily retreatin' to his beer casks. " And yours !" shout ed the excited female, addressin; me. "He is also your brother." "No, I think not, warm," I pleasantly replied. "The nearest we come to that colorlin our fani'ly was in the case of my brother John. He hal the janderssev'ral years, but they finally left him. lam happy to state that, at the present time, he hasn't a solitary jauder." " Look at this man !" screamed the female. I looked at him. He was an able-bodied man, well dressed, a comfortable-look ing negro. He looked as though he might have three or four good meals a day into him without a murmur. "Look at that down-trodden man !" cried the female. " Who trod on him ?" I inquired. " Villins ! despots!" ' Well," said tne landlord, " why don't you go to the willins about it? Why do you come here tellin us nig gers is our brothers, and orandishin' your umbrellers round like a lot .of lunatics? You'r wuss than the sperit rappers." " Have von," said a middle aged female No. 2, who was a quieter sort of person, " have you no sentiment —no poetry in your soul—no love for the beautiful? Dost never go into the green fields, to cull the beautiful flow ers ?" " I not only never dost," said the landlord, in an angry voice, "but I'll bet you live pounds you can't bring a man as dares say 1 durst." "The lit tle birds," continued the female, " doest not love to gaze onto them ?" " I would I were a bird, that I might fly to thee," I humorously sung, casting a sweet glance at the pretty' young woman. Don't you look in that way at my dawter," said female No. 1, in a violent voice ; " you're old enough to be her father." " 'Twas an innocent look, dear madam," 'softly said. "You behold in me an emblem of innocence and puri ty In fault, I start for Rome by the first train to-morrow, to sit as a model to the celebrated artist, who Is about to sculp a statue, to be called Sweet Innocence. Do you s'pose a sculptor would send for me for that purpose onlesshe know'd I was overflowin' with innocency? Don't make an error about me." ' It is my opinyn," said the leadin' female, " that you're a scoffer and a wretch ! Your mind is in a wusser beclouded state than the poor negroes we are seeking to aid. You are a groper in the dark cellar of sin. 0 sinful man ! There lea sparkling fount, Come, 0 come and drink. " No ; you will not come and drink." " Yes he will," said the lan'lord, "if you'll treat. Just try him." "As for you," said the enraged female to the landlord, "you are a degraded bein, too low and wulgar to talk to." "This is the sparklin fount for me, dear sister!" died the lan'lord, drawing and drink ing a mug of beer. Having uttered which goak, he gave a low rumblin' larf, and relaxed into silence. "My colored fren," I said to the negro kindly, " what is it all about?" He said they was try i n so raise money to send mis sionaries to the Southern States in America to preach to the vast numbers of negroes recently made free there. He said they were without the gospel. They were without tracts. I said, "My fren', this is a seris matter. I admire you for trying to help the race to which you be- ong, and far be it from me to 0,.6y any thing agin carryin the gospel among the blacks of the South. Let the gospel go to them by all means. But I happen to individooally know that there are some thousands of liberated blacks in the South who are starvin. I don't blame anybody for this, but it is a very sad fact. Some are really too ill to work, some can't get work to do, and others are too foolish to see any necessity for working. I was down there last winter and I ohaerved that this class had plenty of preaching lor their souls, but skurce any vittles for thir stummux. Now, if it is proposed to send flour and bacon along with the gospel, the idea Is really a excellent one. If, on the t'other hand, It is proposed to send preachin alone, all I can say is that its a hard case for the Diggers. If you expect a colored person to get deeply interested in a tract when his stummuck is empty, you expect too much." I gave the negro as much as I could afford, and the kind-hearted lan'lord did the same. I said, "Farewell, my free' ; I wish you well, certainly. You are now as free as the eagle. Be like him and soar. But don't attempt to convert a Ethiopian person while his stummuck yearns for vittles. And you, ladies—l hope you are ready to help the poor and unfortu nate abroad." When they had gone the lan'lord said, " Come into the garden, Ward." And we went in and culled some carrots for dinner. Pure Air In Stock Cars An ingenious invention for supplying fresh air to a sick chamber, which has been in effective use for some time, is by a simple extension of the principle upon which it is based, to be adapted to rail way cars for the purpose of transporting dressed meats from a distace to our mar kets. The device is to enclose a narrow space at each end of the car, with an aperture near the floor. and another long and narrow open iN e , near the top. Within this inclosed sifutie three shelves, or compartments, are to be fitted, the two lower being shelves—the first hold ing lime and the second charcoal. The upper compartment is to be lined with zinc to contain ice, having a bucket be low to catch the water. The air which enters the aperture at the bottom of the compartment is purified by passing through the lime and charcoal, and after being cooled and moistened by contact with the ice, finds its way out of the upper opening, thus keeping up a constant current of pure, cool air, at an expense after the first cost of only a few cents an hour. It is claimed that a car thus provided can be kept filled with perfectly pure air, at an even tempera ture, for an indefinite number of days, and that fresh meats and all perishable fruits can be transported long distances and reach their destination in as good order as when shipped. A car with this attachment has just been comple ted, and an experiment trip will soon be made. Wheat for a Barrel of Flour. The question, how much wheat does it take to make a barrel of Flour? is often asked, and the answer is of a gen eral character, " Five bushels are allow ed." At the annual Fair of the Dubuque County Agricultural Society in 1866, a premium of $3 was offered.for the best barrel of Flour made from winter wheat, and also the same from spring wheat. A firm entered one barrel of each, accompanied with the statement that sixteen bubsels of winter wheat yielded three barrels and one hundred and three pounds of flour—at the rate of four bushels and fifteen pounds of wheat to the barrel. Of spring 'wheat fifty bushels yielded eleven barrels of Flour, being four bushels and thirty two pounds to the barrel. The wheat was a fair quality and no more. NUMBER 25 The Fall ofti= duan mo and Capture of The special correspondent of the N. Y. Herald, who was on the ground, gives the following account of the fall of Queretaro and the capture of Maxitiailian: The convent of La Cruz, forming the,key to the city, many lives have been lost in attacking and defending it. Maximilian had his headquarters in the building; Esco bedo is in the mountain of Currents, im mediately opposite. Escobedo's best in fantry—the dupremos .Poderes, or "supreme power" battalion—occupied the valley be tween the convent and the mountain. Maximilian's best infantry, the first bat talion of the line, were stationed in the con vent. The Cruz had been sold. The betrayer was one who stood high in the Emperor's con fidence and professed for him the warmest personal regard. Traitors there were known to be in the city, but no one suspected Colonel Lopez of treason. It such a suspi cion had been entertained one glance at his portly, handsome person, his jovial face, with not a trace of the Mexican about it, but rather the look of an aristocratic Anglo Saxon, would have repelled the idea. Un limited trust had been reposed in him. lie was first made colonel of the Emperatriz regiment—a regiment which,on the frontier, earned a splendid reputation, but which, during the siege of Queretaro, has made but one charge and then got whipped like a pack of curs. Next, when a reserve brigade was formed for the especial protection of the Emperor, Colonel Lopez was named with universal assent to the command, and latterly he had been transferred to the still inure important post of Commander of the Cruz. A. et it was Colonel Lopez, and none other, who betrayed the city to the enemy. Just when the liberal Commander in-Chief had given his orders for attack Lopez sent him a letter offering for money—variously stated at sums ranging from 800 to 3,001 ounces—to deliver up the Cruz to theliberals. The offer, whatever it might be, was promptly accepted. Under cover of the darkness Escobedo and Corona moved their forces up under the very walls of the Cruz. Then Lopez, commanding his own troops to lay down their arms, quietly marched them out at one door as prisoners, while the liberal troops marched in at the other and took their places. Thus remained the Cruz all night garrisoned be liberal soldiers, Maximilian placidly sleeping and dreaming of no harm. With the first faint streak of daylight came the discovery. The Emperor, an in corrigibly early riser, was one of the first to find out something was wrong. Hastily waking Prince Salm-Salm, he exclaimed, " Come along, quick !" and made for the door. But here a file of liberal soldiers, commanded by Colonel Ringim Gallurdo— or " Pepo Rincon," as he Fs called—were awaiting him. As the ill-starred Prince passed on his way out, Lopez, iu a hoarse whisper, exclaimed, " That's he," and urged Rincon to secure hini at once. Then occurred one of ttfe most singular incidents in the whole of this singular war. Colonel Rincon, a brave soldier, would have re juiced to have captured the Austrian Arch duke in a fair fight ; but he had little relish for his present work or for the treason that had brought it about. Giving way to a sud den impulse of generosity, he went up to Max, and said :—" You tire a citizen ; you are no soldier; we don't want you vamos !" and so saying, pushed the aston ished Emperor out of the convent. Five minutes afterwards I met him, still look ing utterly dazed, but making his way on foot as hard as he could for the Cerro de la Campana, at the other extremity of the city. To the same point also his Hungarian hus sars, and such of his generals and officers as could break through the liberal guard, also made their way, and the narrow streetsr rung with the heavy clatter of cavalry—the pursued and the pursuers. Thus far fen.' shots had been fired. Corona, I always swift in his movements, entering by the Cruz, had taken possession of the whole of the imperial lines from the inside, the troops at his approach dropping their guns and shouting " Vive la Libertad .' But Miramon was not disposed so tamely to submit. Rallying a portion of the regiment of the Emperatriz, whom he encountered in the Callo de Capuchinas—one of the broadest streets in the city—he formed them in line of battle and prepared to defend himself to the last. Oue of the first shots fired struck Miramon in the face and lodged under the left eye, blinding him for the time being. A citizen surgeon, whose house was near, attempted to extract the bullet, but in the excitement of the moment only made matters worse, and before Miramon could recover himself he and his whole troop were surrounded and taken prisoners. Miramon was placed under guard in a house in the street in which he was captured. Meanwhile Maximilian had been joined at the Cerro de la Campania, or Bell Height —a fortified hill commanding the other extremity of the city—by Generals Castillo and Avellano, and Prince Salm- Salm and others of his officers, but it was quickly evident that resistance or escape vas equally Impossible. Four battalions of infantry and nearly the whole of the liberal cavalry surrounded the hill. A large white flag (at the distance it looked like a shirt) was accordingly sent down for the Cerro, and the Emperor, with his prin cipal officers, surrendered unconditionally to General Corona. They were allowed to retain their horses, arms and personal property, and later in the day were marched round by the outskirts of the city to the Cruz. The hussars and the remaining forces on the Cerro came down in detach ments, and most of them surrendered to Corona's American legion. Colonel Campos, a Mexican officer com manding the Emperor's escort, alone en deavored to escape. Mounted on a mag nificent gray steed, a six shooter In each hand and $4,000 In his belt, he dashed down the mountain side and tried to break through the liberal cavalry. Impossible us the attempt was, It seemed for the moment as if it would succeed. His horse stood at nothing, but jumped ditches, barricades and earthworks with equal ease. Baffled and turned at one point, Campos tried another; he shot dead a liberal major who attempted to stop him and wounded sev eral other men. Finally he was himself wounded and captured. The same day he was shot by order of Escobedo. THE RESULTS OF THE DAY were indeed complete. The surprise was so eactual, and the treasonao well timed, that nothing, absolutely nothing, escaped. With the exception of Mendez,who has since been captured, no officer of note was mis sing. All, from the Emperor down to his youngest sub-lieutenant, were made pris oners. The list I have before me comprises the four hundred and thirty seven names of high and low degive. Not a gun was spiked. Over sixty pieces—including sonie twenty-four which had been captured from the liberals themselves during the siege— fell into the hands of the republican forces, together with three or four thousand stand of arms.and a large supply of ammunition. Never before in the voluminous history of Mexican revolutions has so large a haul been made at onetime. But for the treach ery of Lopez the result would probably have been immensely different in this instance. Recovery of the Misslint Bonds for Ninety-nine Thousand Dollars. The ninety-nine bonds of one thousand dollars each, which were reported to be missing from the Treasury Department, were found to-day in the Treasury vault. It appears that these ninety-nine sheets were by mistake packed up with a bundle of other different securieties which were printed on paper of the same size as the bonds. It had been the opinion of the officers of the Treasury having these bonds in charge that they were not lost, but mis• placed„ and that a thorough search would discover them. The result proved this opinion correct. The system nf accounts in the Treasury is so thorough and complete that the truth of these bonds being missing was known within half an hour of its 00 currence, and a written report was imme diately made of the fact. This report has been on file from that time, but the par ticular package with which they were erroneously placed' was not ascertained until to day. A Murderer Sentenced Bridget Dorgan, convicted of the murder of Mrs. Coriell, in New Market, N. J., has been sentenced to be hung. Her counsel made a motion for a new trial, which, atter consultation, was denied by the Court, and the prisoner, upon being asked If she had anything to say, reiterated, through her counsel, that she was innocent, and that a person now at large was able to relieve her of the charge, and had promised to do so, but failed. The Court then, with the most impressive solemnity, passed upon her the dreadful sentence of death by hanging on the 30th of August next. The awful pur port of the gloomy words overcame her, and she uttered alternately loud shrieks and piteous moanings until the doors of the prison were again closed upon her. • Arrest of a Swindler An enterprising man, who has made a great deal of money, and a great deal of reputation of a certain kind, by gift enter prises, in this city and the West, was arrest ed on Wednesday as a swindler, and, we trust, will get his deserts. We hope the very foolish people who sent him a dollar in the expectation of getting , ten thousand dollars in return, will get their deserts too. The best way to cure their folly is for some body to cheat them. 1 AllgftßlMlll,lll±l., • 8M1126/0 'ASlrirkifiziemint tllF IV yea s !
