Camanche Bill.
The Detroit JV eavs : Camanche
Bill is in this city, stopping at the
Garrison House. He was in Chicago
during the fire, and lost his rifle and
gome valuable papers. Expecting to
meet certain parties there, ho notified
them to come to this city instead, and
he is now here awaiting their arrival.
He attracts considerable attention
wherever he appears bj his singular
costume. He is rather sensitive on
this point, and for that reason does not
goabroad much. He called upon us
Saturday, and repeated much of the
story of his wrongs and sufferings at
the hands ol the Indians, and his fights
with them.
His real name is George W. Potter.
aud he is not more than twenty-
five vears of aire, of medium stjitnrp
and lithe and wiry build. His com
plexion is light, and his features are
almost girlish, at least there is an ab
sence of that coarseness and brutality
wnicn one is apt to associate with the
kind of life he has led. He has an
eye of piercing keenness, though not
of that wild an restless character
which the heroes of border romances
are usually supposed to possess. It
seems, ordinarily at least, wild enough,
aud occasionally, even indulges in a
sparkle of humor. He is dressed in
buckskin pantaloons ornamented with
a row of steel buttons down the outer
seam, lie says a tailor out in Arizona
cut these pantaloons for him, and
charged him ten dollars for the job.
He considered it extortion, and telling
the tailor that he would pay him half
wneu he a led and the balance when he
got back, hesiezed the pantaloons, and
jumping upon his horse, "scooted,"
leaving the little tailor standitifr in his
door and swearing in Dutch. He con
siders the cut a fashionable one
spring bottoms, one seem in the leg,
aud all that sort of thing. The sew
ing on them he done himself, and prick
ed his fingers profusely. The balance
of his ju me consists of a coarse
shirt, which be says will stand it about
a year aud a half without washing,
and a coat made of the skin of the
Mexican lion "an animal which no
dog will follow" made up with the
nair.out.
He wears a broad-brimmed black
felt hat, and his luxuraut brown hair
8 1 reams down over his shoulders.
He says his home is at Fort Grant,
Arizona, though for what particular
reason he calls that his home he can't
say. He lives in the saddle, fighting
Indians. He condemns tent and camp
equipuge with strong emphasis, and
says he sleeps where night overtakes
him, and looks out for his own rations.
He holds the regulars particularly
the officers in very low estimation,
aud languago fails him to express his
contempt for Government Idian agents.
His Indian policy is destruction, swift
and sure for every reddkin ou the con
tinent, and he is doing his individual
best to carry out that policy. He feels
annoyed at being reported" as having
killed 183 Iudians, since it looks like
boastiug, a thing of which he does not
wish to seem guilty. He does not de
ny that his good rifle has an uncontroll
able desire to take unerring aim at
nearly every Indian who comes within
rane of its muzzle. -
The object of his life is to rescue his
sister, who was taken in the Minnesota
massacre in 18G2, and to avenge the
death of the rest of his family who
were murdered at that time. II is sis
ter, who is now twelve years old, is
held by the Camauchcs, aud he knows
her whereabouts. lie says the
Caraanches know him very well aud
are bound to "lift his hair," but he
don't think they will ever be abln to
do it, aud that he will yet get his sis
ter. If he ever does get her he pre
sumes she will be a regular savage,
having lived so long with them, but he
will take her off so far that she will nev
er see a red man again. Then his pur-
fiose is to devote the remainder of his
ife to avenge the murder of his parents
and brothers and sisters. His conver
sation cannot fail to impress one with
the earnestness of his purpose.
He is an excellent representative of
the hunter and scouts of the plains,
finding his highest enjoyment in rov
ing over the almost boundless wilds of
the Western lern tones, in an occa
sional brush with the Indians, and in
hunting the buffalo and grizzly. He
can't make himself comfortable in a
bed.and declares that of all the institu
tions of civilization they are the worst.
He rolls himself up in a blauket aud
camps on the floor.
lie says he is going back next month
to continue the search for his sister.
He will take two good and true men
with him, and that is all the assistance
he wants. He has confidence that he
will be successful before spring.
An Irishman noticing a lady pass
down the street espied two strips de
pending from under her mantle. Not
knowing that these were styled sashes,
and were hanging in their right place,
he exclaimed, "An faith, ma'am, yer
galluses are loose!"
Some people love others so much
better than themselves that they are
vastly inoro concerned about their
ueighbors attain thau about their
own.

A Wife from the Wild. r.
In the early history of A certain
mining town of the Montana frontier,
is embalmed a wild little bit of ro
mance, which a correspondent of the
Alta California derives from the recital
of one who witnessed what he relates.
When said town was but a camp,
where a company of hardy miners had
"struck a new prospect," an Indian
tribe of the vicinity overtures for a
treaty, whereby they were to receive
arms and tobacco in exchange for
their protection of the golJ-teekers
from other savages. Confident of their
ability, to defend themselves, the min
ers declined negotiations ; and the In
dians were incited by tiiis to either
tempt a qurrrel, or induce a bargain
for another kind of exchange ; for, on
several successive days, they rode in
state through the camp in picturesquse
ly warlike procession ; a central figure
of the barbarous pageant being a
white girl about 15 years old, dressed
in Indian, fashion and with superb
hair reaching almost to her feet.
Whether this spectacle meant a defiant
taunt, or a challenge for ransom, was
what could not be at once decided by
the miners generally; but one of their
number, an Englishman who, because
he had been educated at a German uni
versity, was known in camp as "Dutch
Pete, was so moved in his chivalrous
seusibilitcs as to halt the chief of the
red braves with his rifle and demand
an immediate surrender of the beauti
ful white enptive. : Through an inter
preter the painted warrior answered
that if the girl were his captive she
had been such since her earliest infan
cy, when he had taken her from a
train of emigrants on the plains; and
as for surrendering her, he should do
nothing of the kind without a fight,un
less his white brothers chose to buy
the young lady with adequte arms, am
muuition, and tobacco. The miners
were at first inclined to try the virtues
of rifle and powder without mercantile
stipulations; but, upon satisfying
memseives mat me gin, despite ner
complexion, was a veritable savage,
and had no thought of appealing, for
a rescue, they allowed the Englishman
to work upon their abstract civilized
humanity for a barter. Tho articles
demanded were accordingly given to
the mercenary old chieftain ; who
then, with characteristic lack of senti
ment, ' directed the whites to take
their human prizes. Upon ' compre
hending the disposition thus made of
her, that prize not only exhibited no
gratification at the change, but kicked,
screamed, and bit at her new masters
like a young colt. Seeing the stolid
Indian- departing, she gave way to
such a frenzy of wrath and vengeful
grief that it was actually neccessary
to confine her in a strong cabin under
bolt and bar. A majority of the min
ers believed that they had made a'
most unprofitable trade, and doubted
that the "young wild beast," as they
called her, would never rest until she
had killed either herself or some one
else, but the Englishman volunteered
to pay her whole cost, if desired, from
his first gold dust, and tame her into
civilization and usefulness by sheer
force of kindness. In the latter part
of his . undertaking he experienced
danger as well as difficulty; for the
white savage once bit tho palm of his
right band through and through when
he offered food to her in her prison,
and again -scalded him fearfully ' In
the face with a pot of boiling coffee.
Patiently and with unvarying kind
ness he persevered, however, and by
slow degrees-taught her to speak some
English, aud to understand that only
the tenderest of treatment was intend
ed for her. In short, after about six
months of taming, the girl was suffi
ciently reclaimed from wiidness to ac
cept the situation more intelligently,
aud act as cook for the encampment,
though never able to realize that she
had not been born an Indian. With
the rapidity of growth, peculiar to
good mining "placers," the encamp
ment preseotly developed into a town
by the arrival of new campanies and
enterprises. Other women emigrated
thither from California and the East,
a missionary established a church, a
capitalist opened a hotel, and the law
organized its system. All this occur
red in a few years, during which time
the belle from the wild was educated
converted to Christianity by a mission
ary, and then became the wife of the
Englishman who had been her so faith
ful benefactor. The two are even now
the host and hostess of a prosperous
eating house of the town, aud may be
seen by any traveller willing to test
their excellent fare.

A Bewildered Englishman.
Among the arrivals at the Newhall
House on the awful ' Monday, when
Chicago was ia flames, was an English
man in company with Mr. Delraouico,
of New York. He came to this coun
try in July to effect insurance on pro
perty owned by a large manufacturing
house at Manchester, as agencies for
the sale of their wires, aud to transact
other business for them. He arrived
in New York the day of the Orange
riot, and found the whole city and na
tion in a turmoil about it. He was
just recovering from the shock inflict
ed on his nerves by that little allatr,
when the explosion on the Westfield
threw hira into another state of wonder
ment at the magnitude of our occa
sional happenings; he "was on the
steps of the Haetor 'Ouse, you know,"
when the crowd rushed down Broad
way to the scene. Thence he went to
Lexington, Kentucky, and was burnt
out at the hotel he stopped at, the
night he arrived.
After visiting one or two other
places, he fetched up in Chicago, and
had been there, at the Sherman House,
but a few days, when the great confla
gration started him out of bed at
night, allowing him only time to catch
up his clothes, having to dress several
blocks away. He came to this city
immediately, and has been at the
Newhall House till Saturday meditat
ing upon the mutability of human af
fairs, and "what kind a country it is to
live in, you know, auy'ow." The busi
ness of insurance so far as the coun
try is concerned is so problematical
that he doesn't see how he can do
much at it, and he has turned his face
toward Old England.
All the above, and more his "most
ter-r-r-Wie hexperience in America,"
as he called it, he recounted to us as
he was about to leave the hotel, in his
peculiar accents and sharply turned
sentences, which it were futile to at
tempt to reproduce in print, and can
be fully appreciated only by the party
in the Newhall House office, whom he
intensely amused. Milwaukee Wiscon

William Scott was romantic and he
loved Miss Horn to distraction. Un
able to conceal his feelings he revealed
them to the object of his affections, who
tenderly reciprocated. Thev both
lived in Lawrence, Massachusetts, and
their union and the realization of their
fondest hopes were opposed. Brought
to the verge of insanity by the obstacles
which he found impended the course of
true love, VV uliam suggested to the dar
ling of his heart that they should both
take poison and together leave this sad
and hollow world. The suggestion
pleased Miss Horn so that the pair pi o
cured some poison and, hand in-hnnd,
wended their weary ways towards a
public park one dark and gloomy
night. ' There they talked of love
and tenderness, of the sorrows of this
world and the vanity of life. Miss
Horn then swallowed her dose and it is
supposed her sufferings were so intense
that William forgot, in his agony as
a witness, to take his own. She died,
and be roamed the earth for a brief
space aud then he was arrested
charged with manslaughter, convicted
and condemned to hard labor in the
penitentiary for t'troe years. William
ought to be cured of his romance by
this time, we should think.

A cultivated mind may be said to
have infinite stores of gratification.
Everything may be- made interesting
to it, by becoming a subject of thought
or iuquiry. Books, regarded merely
as a gratification, are worth more thau
all the luxuries on earth. A taste for
literature secures cheerful occuputiuu
for the unemployed and languid hours
of life, and how many persons in these
hours, for want of iunocent resources,
are now impelled to coarse pleasure!
