Far in the north of • Scotland, on a green
peninsula on the southern--bank-of the river
Bee, lies the ancient Castle Balmoral, which
built many centuries ago. The imposing was
Craig-Gowan protects it;toward the south;
toward the north, a wide, majestic wreath of
wild mountains shields it from the storms
blowing from that quarter.
On the northern bank of the rapid river,
opposite the castle, sat a plainly dressed lady
on a field chair, on a fine summer day, about
sixteen years ago. On her lap lay a drawing
-portfolio— She.was engaged in sketching the
osistle.in_ front vim'.of.,lvr• l,- 3pdpa.vaeasant

same path, and intended to pass by the lady.
The sheep got frightened by her unwonted
appearance and would not move from the
spbt. The boy, impatient at the delay, has
tened to the lady, and shouted: •
"Get out of the way, madam, and let my
sheep pass." The lady smiled, rose, and
stepped aside. It was of no avail. The
sheep would not advance. Thereupon the
boy shouted angrily, "Stand back, will you,
and let my sheep pass ? Stand back ! " At
this moment a footman went to the boy and
said to him :
"But, young fellow, do you know whom
you are talking to ?
"I dinna ken, and dinna care," replied the
boy, in his Scottish. dialect ; "this is the road
for the sheep, and she has no right to sit
there."
"But, boy, it is Her Majesty, the Queen ! "
added the footman.
"The Queen ?" asked the boy, in surprise.
"Is it the Queen ? Weel, but why disna she
put on elites that folk would ken her."
Yes, it was Victoria, the popular Queeu,on
whose kingdom the sun does not set, and to
whom this naive compliment was paid by the
young shepherd. She walked aside far
enough to let the sheep pass.
Since 1848 the Queen and Prince Albert
had selected Castle Balmoral, so rich in his
torical and legendary traditions, in the moun
tainous county of Aberdeen, as their summer
residence. The royal family of England set
tled peaceably in the midst of their Scottish
subjects at the same place where the warlike
Highlanders had so often had their rendezvous
to fight for their independence, and where
once the Earl of Mar unfurled the banner and
concentrated his warriors to "take the field
against the Kings of England. The Queen
sent back at once the two companies of a
regiment of Highlanders which the Duke of
Wellington sent to Castle Mar when her
Majesty took Tossession of Balmoral.
The Queen, her husband and her family
passed delightful days at the newly chosen
summer residence. Prince Albert hunted a
great deal, and often made excursions extend
ing to Byron's far-famed. "dark Lochnagar,"
which belonged to his hunting grounds, or
occupied himself with his agricultural studies
and labors, on which occasions his inter
course with the farmers and farm hands
was as cordial and affable as that which
the Queen held with her neighbors, rich and
poor.
However, brilliant festivities were not
wanting, either. Since the court resided at
Balmoral, the Highland clans met there once
a year. to celebrate their national games and
sports. The most splendid of these . Highland
festivals was the torchlight daffee, which
transferred the beholders entirely back into
ancient times. ,
. It is after nightfall. A platform hewn out
of the flank of the precipitous mountain is the
scene; one side of this platform is floored and
fenced in with a wooden railing -on three
aides: on the fourth aide is a canopy under
which the members of the court take their
seats. Four strong Highlanders, with torches
in their hands, step to the four corners of the
square platform; six bagpipers are stationed
in front of the throne, and twenty-four High
landers, likewise with torches in their hands,
now commence a wild and- curious dance to
the notes of the bagpipes, which they accom
pany from time to time with the shrill battle
-cry of the ancient clans. And the .torches
• shed their weird glare through the night; into
the gorge yawning far, below them,: on the
brilliant court party. The dancing High
landers; the witnesses of a half barbarous
time, living only in the patriotic songs of
Scotland. i
In the meantime the ancient castle, which
was entirely too small for its royal guests,
had to give way to a new building. A small
colony of frame huts, erected for the English
masons, carpenters and litborers, rose at no'
great distance from the palace, and the splen
did granite structure made rapid, progress
from day to. day. . In the summer of 1853 one
• of-these frame structures was discovered to
be on fire, and the whole row burned-down
•in the course of half an hour. It was an in
teresting sight on this occasion to see Prince
Albert standing in the chain of laborers,
extending from the conflagration to the river
bank, and handing onebucketfull of water
after another to .his next neighbor,.until the
flames *ere entirely extinguished. Nor was
the Queen an idle spectator on this occasion.
Not only did she, by her presence, encourage
the laborers engaged in extinguishing . . the
flames, but she issued the necessary orders to
her servants with the calmness and prudence
pecullto her. The royal couple indemni
fied th working men for everything they lost
by thi conflagration.
kr
Suenoisy days of brilliant festivals and
unfore een accidents were followed, by' quiet'
days, s ch as the Queen loved ''above all
things. Sunday was always her most de
lightful day. Opposite the castle, on the
li \
- north ide of the' river Dee, lies the small
village of Crathie, with its very plain and
bumble church. Thither every Sunday a de
vout couple, With prayer-book in hand, were
seen to wend their way from the:castle across
the bridge; behind - them followed the chil
dren and il few servants. : _ Only when the
- weather was ,too unfavorable, the fainily,
which, as was shown by the livery of the
servants, was the royal family, drove in a
carriage to the little - village church. The
worshippers from the village,. in the begin
ning, stared not a little at the Queen -and
Prince Albert; but before long they were so
well acquainted with each other that they ex
changed greetings like old and intimate
friends. In the afternoon the Queen, never
accompanied by her servants, and only
occasionally by one of her children,
visited the cottages of the poor
and„ sick. She enters now one
cottage; now another, examines the clothes
presses and beds, makes inquiries about the,
education of the children, asks the girls and
boys if they make good progress at school, it'
they remember what the preacher said, Sc:,
She comfortsthe sick and feeble, and reads
to them from the. Bible; she scolds the lazy.
After returning home she makes all sorts of
notes—as a consequence of which, in the
next few days, efficacious relief is given to
-
the poor sufferers in many a lowly hat. Now
she visits, during the week; the village school
—now, she converses with the village clergy
man, on the spiritual condition of his' flock
and; the improvement of the school. The
children know her well, and having once
~, heard the Queer say to Prince Albert, "What
do you think, lbert?" they henceforth, call
her only "Dear 'lrif, Albert;" and while •her
— *husband establiShes a ,model farm for the
,peasiants.of Crathie, she is at work upon the
eatabliSh,ment of, a model .village school
IloWever; the happy husband and. thte do
twerything•together., .--
The year 'IW destroyed the happiness of
the mytil couple. The excellent German
prince who once said of himself, "he was
not only the Queen's consort, but the edif
•cater ,or her children, the private Secretary of
the sovereign and her permanent minister,"'
was torn from her side by his premature
death. "Lonely and dreary," she says in the
preface oilier husband's speeches, "lay her
path before her from , this time-4t - • is true, a
path of duty and toil, which, confiding in
the loyal attachment and sympathy of her
people, she would, with God's blessing, strive
to pursue."
Henceforth the Qtreen pursued her path
solitary and alone. We sal?: her in
. 1819, at
.Glasgow, Where we stood very closeto her; -
Since then her appearance has not changed a
great deal. She / Was always plain; but her
delicate and eiptessive features, her well
shaped forehead, and her honest eyes form a
face, which, it' it is not beautiful, is by no
means common and uninteresting. At the
present time a mild expression of subdued
melancholy plays round her mouth, which is
framed on both sides with tell-tale wrinkles;
a widow's cap covers her hair, which is turn
ing grey. already, and a widow's collar closely
surrounds her neck.. But even t rough she
should not wear a mourning(Atm°, it
would be easy to recognize a widow in her. ,
Tier thorough womanly features are expres
sive of extraordinary benevolence, a calm,
motherly character, and . profound, though
subdued grief.
She has been bitterly assailed for the retired
life which she led for years after her hus 7
band's death: but notwithstanding the growls
.of the London shopkeepers, she has pre
served her popularity among the hes*, ele
ments of all classes of the population. This is,
shown by the words of the mason who, after
returning nom a trial where he had been a
witness, said to his companions: "The
Queen was iu my cottage; she talks so pleas
antly and draws such nice pictures for the
bairns. I like a hundred times better to
speak with her than with the bigwig on the
bench." Once a photograph of the Queen,
to be circulated among the lower classes, was
to be gotten up. 'Victoria, for this purpose,
put on a very plain silk dress, to set an ex
ample of economy and simplicity to the
wives and daughters of the mechanics and
laborers. She herself selects the toys which
she gives aiShristmaS presents to poor chil
dren in orphan asylums and hospitals, nay,
she brings the gifts to them in person, and
enhances their value by the words of motherly
love with which she distributes them.
The Queen left her long retirement for the
first time to open last year's parliamentary
session on the nth of February, 18(i6. At her
request, the customary pomp displayed on
such occasions had been reduced to the
most modest proportions. Dressed in a robe
lof dark-colored velvet, she wore a cap 0 fa
1 Mary Stuart, which was fastened in front by
a diamond oolitic; and which gave expression
to her grief for her husband, for whom she
had already been iu mourning upward of four
years. Still more • characteristic it was that,
after the;tdose of the ceremony, she went to
her son's wife ; the Princess of Wales, and
kissed her tenderly.
• Whatever Malice and disappointed self
interest may say against her, . she is good,
- kind-hearted and truly humane. If her court
does not exhibit any splendor, it does not, on
the other hand, present the contemptible
spectacle of gorgeous festivities, gotten up for
the sole purpose of hiding the rottenness of a
tottering throne, built up by a wanton crime,
and undermined by the mistakes and battled
intrigues of its own occupants. She. is not
charged with endeavoring to enslave her
people, and if the greedy -shopkeepers. of
London contrast her retired life with the
Belshazzar-like festivities of the French court,
the better elements of the English people
• certainly contrast their own freedom with
the degraded condition of the French, and
thank God that they are not cursed with a
'ruler like the oneter whom the shop-keepers
are longing.
THE CHOLERA.
Its Terrible garages in • the Papal
. • • States. --- -
[]tonic (August 9) (jommpandence Loudon Poet.)
A little time ago the env' ns of the Eter
nal City prothised to be Cceedingly brilliant
during the villeggiatura season. Heat and
cholera had been driving numbers of families
out of the city until hardly a villa or apart
ment remained unlet at Albano, Frascati,
Genzano, or any of the other little towns that
cluster round t e,Alban and Tusculan Hills.
Albano was pti "'elderly crowded with visit
ors of high and w degree, from the royal
family of Naples, and various members or the
Roman aristocracy, to the thrifty Jewish
salesman from the Ghetto, intent on corn
billing a stroke of business withadvantagnous_
change of air. The Pope himself was ex ,
pected at Castel Gandolfo, which village
overlooks the lake about a mile from Al
bano, and preparations had been made for
his arrival at the Pontifical' Palace there,
When it was announced that hii Holiness
had resolved to . remain "at the Vatican,
and to devote to the relief of sufferers fro
the cholera in Rome the sum which woult
have been required for his Dilleggialara in
CastaGandolfo. On Sunday Albano was
Overflowing with visitors, there being festi
vals at Marino on one side, and at Ariccia on
the other, with the usual religious ceremo
nies and profane accompaniments of horse
racing, lotteries and fireworks. These fes
tivities were succeeded by a tremendous pes
tilential infliction. On Tuesday night cholera
broke out in the town with such fury as to
give the disease a fulminating character, and
while still early on Wednesday morning 117
cases and 15 deaths were already registered
in a population of 6,000 souls. I was among
thi l foreign residents in the town at the
time, and the. first sounds I heard
in the • morning - were those of
anxious inquiry and consultation among
the groups of people collected at the doors of
their houses, and others looking out of win
. dows, occasionally interrupted by the lugru
brious chanting of priests carrying the com
munion to (lying folks. Then came a great
bustle of preparation among the families re
siding in the Via di San Paolo, in which I
was staying, and which is the loftiest and
healthiest part of Albano. Horses and car
riages were hastily brought out, bags and
baskets hurriedly tossed into the vehicles,and
party after party . were soon on the way for
Rome or the neighboring towns. A walk
through the streets soon convinced me that
the accounts I received had not been exag
gerated—the prevailing features of the scene
appeared to be the processions of priests with
the consecrated host, litters conveying the
sick to the hospital, and carts conveying the
dead to the cemetery. The usual agents in
the latter operation being by no means ade
quate in number to the amount of doleful
work that devolved upon them, were aided
by the soldiers of a company of Zouaves,
who had been sent to Albano for change of
air after recovery from fever, and win) arrived
opportunely on the very morning' when their
aid was. so much needed.. Telegraphic
messages were sent to Rome repeatedly in
the course of the Jay, requesting medical aid,
instructions, and vehicles. Cardinal Alfieri,
being bishop of A.F9ano, came opt from the
capital to' cry:enrage the townspeople bylis
presence, and take the direction of . affitirs.
In the course of Ile afternoon many people.
Arrived . from Rome in a state of great anxiety
Om:, their litonliee or ociatives, whom they

desirous of con''cying elsewhere as Soon as
possible. Means of transport; to the
capital by , the high .road became suddenly
scarce, and the . drivers of omnibuses down
to the station availed themselvbs of the op-
Poittinity 'of' eXacting"dOnble fare from the
panic-stricken fugitives who surrounded the
vehicles. In the afternoon I drove over the
bridge of Ariccia to Glenzano ' wherd I found
at they entrance: of Olmataa cordon estab'
lished, and no one was allowed to pass with
out undepoing disinfecting fumigation.
Coming back to Albano about dark, I had a
difficult task to drive home again through
the blazing bonfires which had been kindled
in all the streets of the town by the cardinal's
orders,-to modify the•condition-of the air.. -- •
learned that the malady was 'making rapid
progress among all classes. •Some of the
King of Naples' servants had succumbed, and
one of- the young princes was ill—the
Marchese Serlupi was • despaired or,
and several Romans come for the
v i alum had died, besides great
numbers of the Albanese themselves.
Yesterday morning the dead-carts rolled
drearily about the town, stopping here and
there to lake up rude wooden boxes, rather
than coffins, for conveyance to the cemetery
at the Madonna della Stella. Many of the
shopa were shut up, their owners having
either died or emigrated. Fruit stalls were
abolished, but wine-shops were still flourish
ing. Further residence in Albano appeared
to be imprudent as well as uncomfortable.
Familiar faces were fading away. My red
nosed cicerone, Checcho, was dead; my
laundress, whom I had seen in health the
evening before, was dead; in my house a boy
had died on the ground floor. The Duchess
Brascht and all her suite had fled
hastily from the first floor, and the
Avvocato Farrieelli's. man-servant, on the
second floor, died in the course of the
morning. My prop. ietar io was making
preparations to take his family to Castel
Gandolfo, and I resolved to follow his eamu
ple, and get into purer air if possible. With
a carpet-bag or two I drove toward Ariceta,
saddened by the scenes of death and desola
tion I had to pass through, intending to get
on to Ganzano or Velletri; but on the great
viaduct the authorities of Ariccia had placed
ifituedtuni with guns to prevent any one
from crossing from Albano. We were evi
dently looked upon as plague-stricken, and as
I learned that, all the neighboring towns had
drawn the same inexorable cordon,. I had
nothing to do but to turn round my horse's
head, drive through Albano again,
and so ou
to Rome, where I arrived as hot as was to
be expected after a midday drive of fifteen
miles across the Campagna in the middle of
August.
August 10,--)n arriving at'Rorne the day
before yesterday, I found people horror-struck
at the severity of the cholera, if such the
malady is in reality, at Albano. Initome an
equal portion of victims, calculating the
population at 220,000, would have amounted
to 5,000. But in Rome the course of the
cholera has been very capricious, attacking
successively -different districts and parishes
with severity,.but giving only a moderate
average of deaths as regards the whole extent
of the city. During the last 24 hours the
deaths from cholera in Rome have only been
1.5; whereas in Albano during the three days
that the epidemic has raged there have been,
according -'to official but unpublished re
ports, about 200 cases, of which 120 were
fatal, 20 'cured, and the rest still in danger.
It is to be expected that this state of
thingS cannot last long, for the people are
flying in all directions. Along the road I
saw families migrating in all sorts of wagons
and vehicles; .the country farmhouses - have .
been resorted to all round; although this is
the fever season; 'infact, there will soon be
left no one for the disease to kill in Albano.
But unfortunately many. of the fugitives
bring away the germ of the malady with
them, and die wherever they may chance to
have taken refuge. • Such has been the case
with several persons of my acquaintance on
returning to. Rome or places in the neighbor
hood: The Marquis Serlum, brother-in-law
to Sir James Fitzgerald,: Bart.; had recovered
partially; but the last account I received this
afternoon puts him in danger again. The
Princess Piombino and her suite got away
safely on the evening of the 7th, to the Ludo
visi villa at Rome. .
Thc Infanta of Portugal and her suite left
Albano on the same day, and I passed her
ponderous luggage wagons next morning on
my way to Rome.
Up to the evening of the 6th refugees from
Albano entered Rome freely: but since yes-
terday, the 9th, a fumigating station has been
established at the Osteria di Baldinotti, out
skid the Porta San Oiovanni, for disinfecting

A Missing Farmer Gipsied Out of
So s ooo—An Amazing instance of
Superstition and Folly.
[From the Sedalia Timer, 22.d.1
A: A. Reeves is a quiet, well-to-do farmer,
living about six miles northwest of this city,
on the Georgetown road. B hard'work and
frugal living, he had acquired the farm upon
which he resides, and about $l,OOO in money.
Week befoie last, however, he was victimized
in an almost incredible manner, to the extent
of s6,ooo—an amount which it will, perhaps,
take half the earnings of his lifetime to repay.
On Thursday, August 1, a company of
Gipsies, consisting of three me* and one
woman, encamped near Mr. Reeves' house.
The woman called on Mr. Reeves the same
day, representing to him that she was a clair
voyant fortune-teller, and that she was en
dowed with a secret gift, which enabled her
to reveal the past and futttre of all things sub
lunary. Furthermore, she informed Mr.
Reeves that she was a spiritualist, and that
the spirits had communicated to her the
astounding fact that somewhere on his (Mr.
Reeves') farm immense quantities of gold and
silver bad been Alden by some one at a time
"whence the memory of man runneh not to
the contrary." The charming woman con
tinued. to visit Mr. It.'s house from
day to day, and finally informed him
that the spirits . would not deign to
tell where the treasure was deposited, unless
she could be temporarily. placed in possession
of six thousand dollars with which to perform
the necessary incantation. Strange as it may
seem, Mr. Reeves gave credence to this story
—the woman completely infatuated him,
leading him, whithersoever she would. He
'promised her that he would obtain the money,
($6,000) end each swore the other to eternal
secresy. Mr. lt. had qt494;5 in his own posses
sion, and be quietly borrowed enough from
different members of his family to make up
the thousand, without hinting the purpose for
which he wanted it. He then came to Scdtt .
ha, and mortgaged his farm to Mr.
Reece Hughes, to the amount of /145m0,
payable in ninety. days, at two and
a half per cent. a month. He
thereupon returned home without informing
any member of his family what his mission
had been to Sedalia; stealthily met his en
chantress and told hr he was ready for her
incantation. The woman took the money,
made a roll of it, wrapped it securely in a
piece of cotton Cloth, andas if to make
assurance. doubly sure—she then took a long
string and tied it many times around the roll
of money. She returned the,next day, when
the final ceremonies took place, which were
inevitably to extort a revelatien, from the
spirits as to the exact locality where the izea
sure was to be found. She tea Mr. Reno)

into a room. Where there could be no wit
nesses of the mysterious. eonjurations,
bad him to stand in the centre of the
floor, and with uplifted hands repeat .
the Lord's prayer, while she, in pos—
session of ..the:package..of money, performed
evolutions round about him, mysteriously
chanting during the time. This performance
concluded, the woman placed what was
ostensibly the package of - .!money in one of
Mr. R.'s hands, and charging at the peril of
destroying the spell, not to let the package
go mit: of that particular hand, until he had

period of four days, when Mr. R. was to go
and get it, and meet ' his enchantress at a

would proceed to the place where the hidden
treasure was buried. Mr. 'Reeves Obeyed
these injunctions strictly; telling no
one of any part of the transactions;

exact moment when the four days expired,
sought his package and found it, but alas !
instead of containing the $6,000, it only con

Beadle's Dime Novels. Our readers can
imagine Mr. Reeves' feelings of disappoint
ment, indignation and chagrin at this stage
of the proceedings. lie sought his charmer
at the spring, but alaS! she was nowhere
visible. The Gipsies had
"Folded their tents like the Arabs,
And silently stole away."
This is certainly one of the most astonish
ing instances of credulity on record. In
reading it one would suppose the victim must
have been insane. But when we consider
that Mr. Reeves is an upright, sober and in
dustrious . farmer, the transaction seems
almost incredible. It can only be regarded
as an additional confirmation of the adage
of old. "There is nothing new under the

A Singular Story.
The real circumstances of the death of that
charming and accomplished Princess, the
one bright .ray of sunshine,amid the gloom
which hangs over the Austrian Court, have
been kept secret from the public, but are well
known to the initiated. It seems that the
poor Princess, who had accepted the sacri
fice which had been demanded of her, and
consente I to serve as holocaust to appease
the god of discord by uniting herself in mar
riage with Prince - * Humbert of Savoy, had
been told that the Prince's passion for smok
ing would render all companionship whit
him impossible unless she possessed the sonic
tinniness for the odor of tobacco as the Duch
ess de Valencay, who insisted on sitting who
her hair combed down in her husband's
smiling room - so that her ringlets might be
impregnated with the fragrance.: Now, it so
happened that the Princess had a peculiar
abjection to this very odor, and had been ad
vised, as.the only means of combating it, to
Icarian smoke the mild cigars used by the
ladies of Havana. Her apprenticeship had
just begun, but . her father, the Archduke
Albert, having expressed his entire dislike of
the unfeminine pastime, the practice was
carried on in secret. The day of the fatal
event, which filled all Vienna with sorrow
and dismay, the Princess was standing 'at an
open window of the Palace, endeavoring to
overcome her dislike of the cigar, by pulling
away with determined vigor, when suddenly,
her father appearing below the balcony,
and looking up to salute her as lie
passed, she flung the burning end of the
cigar over her shoulder, lest he should
perceive it, and bent low down to return his
salute. - The cigar had fallen among the
bounces of her muslin dress; the movement
had created a current of air, and in an instant
her dress was in flames. Court logicians,
who love to flatter their own prejudices by
seeking a reasonable foundation for them,
have fostered the superstitious feeling in the
mind of the Empress Elizabeth with regard
to the Emperor Napoleon by proving that
here, again, Fate has been at work -with the
same intention as when she presided over
Solferino-and Magenta, for, had not Victor
Einmanuel been established King of Italy by
the Emperor Napoleon, there had been no
likelihood of the alliance with Prince Hum
bert; consequently no need to practice the
art of smoking to overcome the wholesome
prejudice experienced against -it, and conse7
quently the dreadful catastrophe would not
have happened.—Pari-s CoriciponAnce or

An Eccentric Teacher—Profelotor An
thou and His Pupils.
The New York correspondent of the Syra
cuse Journal, in alluding to the recent death
of Professor Anthorc says:
the.learned world he will be miksed and
jamented; but perhap& no .Man who hasior. fr) .
Many years occupied so - high - a' -place among -
scholars, and whose name is so„ - familiar
through the country, could die and be less re
-
grated socially than Dr. Anthon. He Was
quite as remarkable for his aversion for so
ciety as for-his scholarship. He never mar
ried. _ Two sisters, also unmarried, kept
house for him; but such was the incompati
bility of temper between them that the Pro
fessor had a separate table set for himself.
He hated men, and he hated women, but he
loved boys, after a pedagogue's fashion. He
had a singular way of unbending in the class
room. Therelte-was always genial, kindly,
and at times even jovial; but out of the class
room he was always a bear. He flogged his
boys unmercifully, and often unjustly.
He was accustomed to stand at the foot of
the stairway as the boys filed down to recita
tion, regarding them with the grim precision
of a drill sergeant. Catching the eye of this
and the other lad, he would motion him to
leave the procession and retire to a secluded
room. The victim obeyed with trues fore
bodings of what was coming. In a few
minutes the Professor would appear, rattan
in band, and, beginning with the nearest boy,
would go through the lot, asking no questions
till the flogging was over, when he would
give the„victim a chance to justify himself.
Of course he often punished boys without
the shadow of a pretext, but then he would
say, encouragingly, "Well, never mind; you
didn't deserve it this time, it is true. Set it
down for some time when you do deserve it
and escape detection." In this way he did
substantial service to each boy. At one time
he had over seven hundred pupils in his
school, and it is said that he gave them all
several tastes of the rod in the course of the
year. Notwithstanding his severity his pupils
loved him. He was considered the most
thorough trainer of boys that ever taught in
this country, and if his pupils get floggipgs
they also got real culture.

upon his skill. His men had taken prisoner a
youth of eighteen.. Marquez decided at once
• that he should be shot as a traitor to his coun
try, and granted him one hour's respite to
prepare icr death. The Curate of la boleaad
visited the unfortunate. Meantime Marquez
selected ten men to act as executioners.
Shortly afterward the prisoner appeared.
The lieutenant commanding the firing squad
stood aside and shouted, "Take aim!" As
he uttered these words, a report was heard,
rind - the prisOner fell • dead: . None • of the
soldiers had fired, but Marquez, who was but
sixty paces off, had drawn a pistol and car
ried'out the sentence he himself had passed.
Nis soldiers removed the corpse. Marquez's
pistol bullet had entered the left eye of the
deceased wretch and lodged in the brain.

Ufil lc ial Report on Indian Affairs.
An official report, has beenTeceived at
dian Office from Superintendent IL H. DC111111111;
dated Omaha, August 21, giving some details 01
the departure of the Sioux Indian 3 under Spotted
Tail, on their buffalo hunt, in accordance with
peimission given,thent-ta,do so by the Indian
Commissioners, and also with regard to the
equipment of Lauds of runners from Spotted
Tail's band to the camps of the hostile Indians,
near the head-waters of the Republican, which
was also provided for recently by the Peace Com
missioners.
Superintendent Denman was at North Platte
on the morning of the 19th inst., and had a coun
cil with the.lndians with regard to these matters.
and informed them that it was expected that
Spotted Tuil, with his fellow chiefs, would place
himself in communication with the hostile
bands camped in the region of country which
they proposed to visit, and use all their Influence
to persuade them to abandon the war-path, and
meet the commissioners in council, at Fort
Laramie, in the lull moon, In September next,
with a view to negotiating a treaty of peace. He
also informed them that United States troops
had been sent north from the Arkansas River,
and were ranging in the region of the Republi
can, and that they must avoid all trouble with
them.
Upon hearing which, Spotted Tail asked to be
furnished with white flags, saying he would keep
them flying in his camp, and he • would not go
further south than was necessary to find buffalo.
He also promised he would lose no time in com
municating with the hostile Indians, and ex
pressed undoubted confidence in his ability to
persuade them to give up the war. Spotted
'fail and his chiefs seem pleased with
the confidence placed in them by the commis
sioners, and Superintendent Denman says
there is every reason to believe that they
will use all their Influence to bring in the
hostile bands, and act in' good faith. Spotted
Tail and Swift Bear selected ten of their most
trustworthy young men as messengers to visit
the hostile Indians with offerings of peace, and
stated they were ready to start whenever fur
nished with equipments,,which consisted of the
following articles for each of the tow Indians :
One horse, one saddle and bridle, one picket
rope, one blanket, one rifle, one pair of blue
cloth leggings, one leech cloth, one blue mili
tary coat, one cavalry hat, one shirt, one black
silk cravat, and ton yards of scarlet Indian cloth.
The Superintendent bad, the day before, pur
chased the entire outfit for these messengers, and
at once fitted them out and gave them their in
structions, and each one of them a pass or certi
ficate stating their business, and asking all offi
cers of the United States Army to trcat them',
well, and aid them in their oer. T novel
and striking feature all
in their p p repa w was was the
token of peace which each Indian carried with
him. It consisted of eight square pieces of to
baccd, wrapped up in one yard of scarlet cloth,
and tied at each end and in the middle with red,
white and binecribbon.
The Snperinte,ndent says in his report:
"y eS toolay, at one o'clock, they started from
North Platte, well mounted and equipped, and
over the prairie with their
trappings and white flags
they. reminded one . of. a

on lome good mission. While they were pre
paring to start, a number of squaws gathered in
a group, and commenced singing a wild Indian
song, which, he Was informed by their inter
preter, was the song of peace. We gave Sinitteel
Tail and all the principal chiefs a pass similar to
those given the ,messengers, and had printed on
their whitellags, in large letters, the following
inscription : 'Spotted Tail's Friendly Band.' On ,
their departure I gave them rations for twelve
days, which greatly pleased' them."
Ile adds: "Icongratulate myself upon the tact
that these Indians went away pleased with their
treatment, entertaining toward the white man no
other than the most friendly feeling. I sincerely
believe that this band of Indians have.gone forth
as messengers of peace and good will, and in the
end will prove themselves powerful instrurrients
in consummating universal peace."

NOVA SCOTIA.
Revolt in a Penitentiary.
We learn from the Halifax San that on
Sunday last the prisoners in the Provincial
Penitentiary in that city, to the number of 50
or Go,mutinied while at dinner together in the
dining-room, on account of the alleged bad
quality of their 'boil. The Governor was sent
for, and the prisoners presented their plates
of food to him, asking him if it was fit for
men to eat. He tasted and replied that it was.
On being told by the Governor that he would
send for the doctor and have the food in
spected, they at once commenced throwing it
about in every direction; and tbllo wed up
their riotous conduct by smashing all the glass
and sashes of the dining-room, breaking the
reading-desk, tearing ---- the maps, &c.
They then went out into the prison,
and commenced breaking the windows
and bellowing furiously, A message was
sent to the fort for assistance, and a company
of artillery was despatched to the prison, the
other troops being absent on service. Mean
while a portion of the prisoners kept up the
work of destruction and began breaking the
locks of the cells, so that they could not be
fastened up. To prevent this the Governor
fired at them, and wounding one, they all
fled from that part of the prison, and rushed
up stairs, where 'they continued, their work
of destruction, throwing doWn arge blocks
of granite. They broke the glass and sashes,
and fearing they Would break the bars also,
several shots were fired in that direction,
which drove them from that side to the oppo
site side below, where they commenced the
same work. Here shots were again fired,and
several of the prisoners wounded. They
then kept under cover in the cells. On the
arrival of the military the wounded were
conveyed to the hospital, and the rest
locked up.
A BOOK of travels in Spain describes a new
feature of bull-fighting: Nine negroes, dressed
grotesquely, stand in a row. The bull being
admitted, goes butting among them, right and
left, and speedily knocks down all who have
-not the good sense to anticipate his action by
"dropping" Then the darkeys all got up
again. Chairs were brought, and the Sam
boa seated themselves "all in a row." Again
the bull entered; againlhe butted right and
left; and againithe Sambos were prostrate in
a mixed pile of chairs and darkeys.? - The
narrator of these achievements says: "This
was great fun, and was repeated several
times; the bull liked it, the 'ninepins' seemed
to lie it, the people gloried in it."
