that Hight makes Might ; and
TIONESTA,
LOST ON THE PLAINS.
In January t, says the Lven-
orth Commercial, John Wilson, a lad
about sixteen yean of age, left hia
home on Muiquito Bottom, in compa
ny with hit father and two neighbors,
for the purpose of hunting buffalo on j
the upper Arkansas. The weather was
all that could be wished, game was
found in abundance, and the hunters
secured as much as their teams were
able to haul back so long a distance,
and on the morning of the 10th pre
parations were made for a return
home.
Not so, however, with young Wilson
who had become enchanted with the
wild scenes and wilder spoils. To Him
it was a newVife of which he had often
read, but had now become a living ac
tor in its fascinations. To the left of
the river.and beyond the skirt of tim
ber in which the hunters were encump-
stretchoJ the unbroken plain.on which,
within range of vision, quietly grazed
a small herd of buffalo, aud here and
there scattered groups of ant-elopes.
At this sight our young hunter became
excited, and only "one more shot" be
fore departing was agreed upon. Shoul
dering his gun, he started out, and was
soou lost to view as he picked his way
quietly along the river bat-k and tim
ber. Nothing further was thought of the
young man's whim by the father and
his companions who were cooking ra
tions for the return trip and peaceful
ly smoking their pipes.
Young Wilson found the distance to
the game much further than he antici
pated, but ou getting within long range
shot, his presence was discovered, and
a general scamper was the result. Noth
ing daunted, he continued the chase,
fully determined on the last shot and
a dead buffalo. Onward he went over
the plain, through wood and thicket,
regarless of all impediments; but four
legs could wandef farther than two;
aud he was left far in the rear. Time
elapsed, unheeded by him ; night was
upon him ; for the first time he realiz
ed that he was alone upon the vast
plain, his game beyond his reach, and
companions he knew not whether. His
reckoning was lost, and he stood be
wildered. To add to his misery, one
of those fierce winds, so common in
that section, came up, and with it a
driving, blinding sleet, transforming
him into a walking icicle.
Cold aud benumbed he started, as
he supposed, for the wood along the
ravine, but instead, traveled from it
now hastening now slackening his pace
as the cold affected him. At length
he came upon a small clump of bushes,
uuder which he took shelter, sat down,
and was soon alseep and lost to his
lonely position.
The boy not returning in a reasona
ble time to the camp, his father and
companions became uneasy, and set in
search of him. Guns were fired, In
dian whoops and yells indulged in to
the full extent of their lungs, but no
answer came in response. The same
was continued throughout the night,
and large fires were kindled ou the
hig'iest eminences in hope of attract
ing his attention, but all in vaiu.
Moruing came, yet with it no boy.
The day elapsed in fruitless search,
followed by another night of demon
strations similar to those of the first.
The angu:.sh of the parent in this ex
tremity was almost unbearable. To
0 without hi Son be could not,
i .
for there, too, was an anxious mother
fouudly awaiting their return from the
hunt.
On the third day, after fully deliber
ating on it, the party coucluded to re
turn home, form companies of their
neighbors, and make a grand search
for the boy on the pains.
Awakening from his sleep, through
a feeling ot coldness, young Wilson
looked out upon the dreary waste be
froe Liin. The wiud still bowled, but
the sleet had subsided. His frozen
clothes cla'uked about his body as he
arose and picked up his gun. He now
Adly comprehended hia situation, and
hit first thoughts were of bit friends
and something to eat. To choose his
course puzzled him, yet no time was to
lost. He plucked from one of the
bushes a twig, sat it on end, and iu his
bovih way resolved ougoiug the direfr

from which hia friends were, and he
wandered farther and farther away.
For procuring food, hit gun was now
hia only reliance, and as he trudged
along, a sharp look-out was kept up
for game. . The first day out, nothing
in the game line presented itself, but
on the econd a small herd of buffalo,
on which he fireB.passed him. His shot
was wide of the mark, and they were
soon away. So passed the third and
fourth days. Weakened by hunger
and fatigue, he nevertheless, kept up
good courage, and hoped thut if he
did not find friends, he at least might
fall in with other hunters or Indians,
friendly or otherwise, he did not care
much which, so long as bis scalp was
safe and a prospect of replenishment
of his vacaut stomach offered.
On the morning of the fifth day he
came to a small stream, skirted by a
a few scattering trees. Here he gather
ed up some broken limbs, and pulled
out from beneath the roots, dry grass
enough to start a fire. This he did by
firing off his gun and blowing the wad
into a blaze, which soon grew into a
warming fire, by which his frozen
clothes were thawed out and himself
warmed. By this time be was too
hungry and worn out to proceed much
further, and he resolved on keeping
up his fire through the day and night.
While so engaged, late in the evening,
he was suddenly startled by a gruff
"How 1 and a big dirty Indian stood
before htm, with a gun on his back and
the hind quarters of an antelope.
"Bully!" replied Wilson, as h-
sprang to his feet aud rifle, "how your
self!" and he gazed in astonishment at
the intruder. The Indian comprehend
ed the situation, profTered him a por
tion of his meat, and they sat down
together, roosted and ate raveneusly
of it. The heat and food livened him
up, and he soon ascertained that a band
of friendly Indiaus were encamped a
few miles below. To this camp the two
repaired, and Wilson waa welcomed
kind'y and fed for three days, when
enough provision was given him to
reach the settlements. His course was
pointed out,, and he started on his
homeward joifrney. He traveled three
days, when he fell in with his father
and his friends, who were returning to
renew, the search for him. The meet
ing was a joyous one, and young Wil
son is content with "only one more
shot!"
A Nice Point.
A fellow named Donks was lately
tried at Yuba, California, for entering
a miner's tent aud stealing a bag of
gold-dust valued ut $84. The testimo
ny showed that he had once been em
ployed there, and knew exactly where
he kept his dust; that on the night
specified he cut aslit in thetent.reach-
in, took the bag, and ran off. The
principal witness testified that he saw
the hole cut, saw the man reach in,
end heard him run away. "I rushed
after him at once," continued the wit
ness, "but when I caught him I didn't
find Bill's bag, but fouud it aftei wards
where he had thrown it." "How far
did he get when he took the dust?" in
quired the counsel, "Well, he was
stoopin' over half way iu, I should
suy, replied the witness. "May it
please your honor," interposed the
counsel, "the indictmeut is i't sustained
and I shall demand an acquittal on di
rection of the court. The prisoner is
on trial for entering a d willing in the
night time, with intent to steal. Tbe
testimony is clear that l e, made an

But the indictment charges that he act'

your Honor, can a roan enter a house

leave the whole matter to the jury.

One Touch of Nature.
There are certain profound and nor
mal elements in human nature, which
become crystal ized in poetry or fable,
and are thus found, iu slightly differ
ing shape, scattered through all peri
ods of history and all strata of society.
Every one ha heard of Sir Philip
Sydney refusing the draught of fair-water
in favor of a wounded soldier, and
wllVin a few days we have heard the
story of a dying naval commander
who, in the tnidf of his agony, thought I
to send an order for a blanket to a
seaman in place of the one hastily
snatched for his pillow of pain. The
following extract, from the Courrier
dtt Bat-lihin (through the medium of
its American name-suite), gives the
same theme in a new but very touch-1
iug shape. It does not greatly con
cern us to inquire into the historical
accuracy of this or of its companion
anecdotes. The Itslllans have a pro
verb, Se non e vero e ben trovato, which
might be freely translated: "If it is
not true it deserves to be." So with
the present extract, the beauty and es
sential truth of the sent.ment may well
close our eyes to the investigation of
its merely literal verisimilitude. It
would be unkind as well as unphiloso
phic to question that such iucidents
may have happened, and probably.still
happen, whether at Metz in the year of
grace 1780 or no. Neither is its pub

"On the 8th of October the chloro
form began to give out at Metz. , A
few local druggists had tried to make
it; but the product was not fit for use,
and the real article was scarce. At
the temporary hospital of the polygon
reu v.li, w here I waa on duly, we had
hardly a litre and a hitif left. As we
did not known how long the siege might
yet last, it was our urgent duty to be
sparing with it. On the morning after
the fight, at Ladonchamps, there was a
terrible influx of wounded, and we had
our hands full.'
"A chasseur of the guard is brought
into the operating room, with his band
badly shattered. It is found necessary
to take off the bone to which the little
Cnger is attached the fifth metacar
pal. The man comes in on foot, still
holding fust his gtin, which he carries
slung over his back.
'Well, my good friend, we shall have
to have a bit of an operation.'
'I know it, major ; that's what I'm
here for.'
'Would you like to be made insensi

all night that I don't think I could

. 'Are you particular about it ?'
'Why, is it very scarce uow that
stuff that puts you to sleep V
We have scarcely any left.'
The chasseur reflected a moment iu

Well, keep It for those who hve

The End of Demi-Monde.
Mabel Grey hat died of consump
tion, and London mitres a celebrity
better known than the thousands of
virtuous and titled women who passed
her carriage on Rotten Row with avert
ed heads, and whose appearance was
as attractive to the multitude as that
of tbe Princess Alexandria herself.
Her portrait in the shop windows
claimed precedence of that of the
Bishop of Oxford. She had a dozen
Peers in her train, at one time was en
gaged to marry the heir of one of
England's oldestdukedoms, and num
bcred the naughty Prince of Wales
among her admirers. For three or
for years Mabel Grey has held nndis
puted sway as queen of the derai
monde, a long reign for the sovereign
of that unstable kingdom, the glory of
the concert hall, the unapproachable
deity of all the cads of London, the
favorite affectation of the golden youth.
How well she played her part is shown
by the fact that only a liberal annuity
sufficed to buy her off from the pur
suit of a young and foolish nobleman
of high 'rank, who had promised to
marry her. The good mothers will
feel easier now that she is finally re
moved from her wicked conquests, but
the poor to whom she was as generous
as if she had been virtuous, and more
so, will be the only mourners of Mabel
Grey.
"Scat."
John Beaty is a lover. He bows be
fore the schrine of bright ey and ro
sy lips ; but being subject to the paren
tal interdict,his interviews ae clandes
tine. A few evenings since he was
paying court to hisdulcinea. She had
smuggled him into the parlor, and the
darkness only served to conceal her
blushes while John told the story of his
love. The muttered words readied the
parental ear, and coming suddenly in
to the room he demanded to . know of
Mary who it was she had with her.
"It's the est, sir," was the numbling re
ply, "Drive it out of here," thunderd
paterfamilias. "Scat 1" screamed Mary
and then sotto voce : ( John, growl a
little,") John set up a woful yowl
"That cat's got a cold" remarked the
parent. John yowled louder than ever.
"Confound it bring a light, and scare
the thing out." This was too much,
and John made a leap for the window,
carrying glass and frame with him.
"Thunder 1 what a cat?" said the pa
rent, contemplating the ruin after the
light was brought: "I never saw ally
thing like it, and con found it, its tail
is made out of broadcloth," . as be

One of tbe London Times' cor
respondence relates au incident illus
trating the utter demoralized con
dition of Chanzy's army. Two dra
goons found themselves surrounded
and about to be taken prisoners by
some thirty Mobiles. One of them
talked a little French, and one-of the
French soldiers was an Alaatiau who
could speak German ; there was thus
no difficulty iu communicating. The
dragoons refused to surrender on an
entirely new aud original ground. "If
we go with you," said they, "we shall
shaie your discomfort; but if you
come with us you will share our com
fort and escape all the danger and
hardships oi me war. uu mo
you will gain more by letting us take
you than by making prisoners of ut."
This reasoning proved irreisstible,
two dragoons rodo back to their regi
meut with their thirty Mobiles follow
ing them like 'sheep. The Grand Duke
was so much pleased with the readiness
thev had diwplayod upou the occasion,
that he made each of them a hand
some present, which one of them was
not distined long to enjoy, for he was
shot dead a few kours later.
When Horace Greeley traveled in

dams; whereupon he added another
proverb to hit store of terse sayiugaj:
