Boner's cell. might be loaned for regular mercantile and other business purposes, are diverted into the custody of banks because of the better security and prompt payment on call; that the country banks transfer this money to the city, where it Is used In call loans for speculating pur poses. We have always been opposed to the practice of sending money to New York and other places for a higher rate of interest, for the reason that it is unjust to our own busi ness men and encourages speculation. Many persons With small amounts are taken with the idea of receiving interest on deposits, and the practice haS had the effect of bringing into circulation large sums which otherwise might be Idle.. While there is no doubt that the de positor is benefited to the extent of the inter est he receives, yet the community.generally does not feel the advantage if this capital is to be sent by our banks and bunkers to New York, therb to be invested at a higher rule. We want the money in our own midst. Oui• people require it, and they should see that the "evil," as Mr. Boutwell terms it, is not car ried on in the manner he States. It is said that other States allow larger rates or interest, and therefore capitalists will invest there. Let them do so with their own money, but our banks and bankers, who are sustained by the community, should endeavor to benefit their patrons, even if It does not pay so well. Much better that John Jones, having $lOOO to invest, should loan it to his neighbor on plain note, than entrust it to his banker, know ing that it will be sent to other places for In vestment for private advantage. The Secre tary, in urging this reform, says :—" As the banks in the city may be called upon at any moment to respond to the drafts of their de positors, they decline to make loans, repre senting such funds upon commercial paper payabffi upon time, but insist upon making call loans, as they are termed, with Govern ment bonds or other obligations pledged as collateral security. Merchants generally will not borrow money in large stints payable upon demand. The consequence is that the moneys thus acettinnlated in the city hanks arc loaned to persons engaged in speculative pursuits. The result is seen in the Met that parties bor rowing money upon commercial paper for legitimate commercial purposes pay front three to SIX per cent. additionnfinterest per annum, as compared with persons who borrow money for speculation." We cannot 'see, however, why men who have large amounts in deposit regularly should not be benefted ,in some way by the banks for the nse of such funds. The bank uses it, or a certain portion of it, for dis counting. The profits are large, and the stockholders get the benefit. NOW, why should not the depositors' receive part of this profit 1 If, however, it is a condition that when he receives interest, the money must be sent to other places. for n higher interest and not be used in the community, then it is far better that no interest whatever should be allowed on deposits. WIIO SHALL APPOINT? Mr. Trumbull has undertalum a job, whlch will require his utmost strength and strategy to accomplish. If he succeeds, then members of Congress are a much abused set of men, tbr it is now generally believed and often charged, that in the matter of appointments, their rela tives and political hangers on are proforred and that not touch respect is paid to the wishes of their constituents. to give up this power will be magminimous. Mr. Trumbull pro , poses to, do nwityltlt this favoriteism, under the plea of re/tering CoUgnsmile,i tanity. arkd to preserve the independence of the different departments. Ile has introduced a bill in the Senate, which provides " that any t' ember of Congress or delegate trout a Terri tory, who shall directly or indirectly solicit, or recommend the appointment to (ace by the President or the heads of departments, or any person in any of the executive departments, except such recommendation be in writing in response to a written request of the head of the department asking information, or by a Senator in giving his advice and consent iu the manner provided by the conlltitution, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and on conviction thereof shall be 11 tied not exceeding $lOOO for each offence." We doubt very much whether any member of Congress who can control ap pointments, is desirous of being relieved from Importunity in this' manner. The Senators and Representatives, as a general rule, dic tate the appointments in their respective dis tricts and in this way their particular friends are rewarded without regard to fitness for . position: Every i'oter in the district any recommend a worthy applicant and yet if the Member does not favor him, his chances for success are small. We. do not believe for a moment that Gen. Grant, Cabinet or the head of departments desire to have the nuttier of appointments thrown into their hands with out consultation with the members of Con gress. As appointments are now made, great injustice is often done. Claims of good men arc passed over and the wishes of the people disregarded. Anything that will give tbe.peo pie a voice in suggesting names for appliintive offices will be a reform, but we doubt whether Mr. Trumbull has taken the true course to meet the question. To tokolaway this power front the members, robs them of their bear political card, for on these appointments often depends an election. Bargains aru made and rings formed, until every office front tax col lector up is farmed out prior to the election. A reform is desirable and if it will relieve the members of Congress front importunity by Prohibiting any fiction on their part, we can easily excuse them, and at the sante time get just ns good men for office as they now give US. Wmi.r. money is so scarce nod the banks are unable to supply the demand upon them for discounts, it is exasperating to know that although the National Banks of this county have deposited at Washington a sufficient amount of bonds to secure the whole amount of their circulation, they .have also a contin gent fund in NeW York and Philadelphia for the same purpose which amounts to at least two hundred.-thousand dollars. This is not the fault of the Banks, but of the National Banking Law, and we hope Congress will ex amine Into the justice or injustice of the pro vision and set the matter right. We can't see that a Philadelphia or New York Bank can be more closely watched than a country bank, and a casual glance at the subjecynakes it ap pear very — unjust, unless our Banks shall be entrusted with it similar fund belonging to Banks of other districts: AND Texas. too I Hamilton, who boasted so loudly of Its patriotism and loyalty, when he was supported by the Republicans at the North, has been defeated for Governor. This was'a result scarcely to be expected and is an other indication that the people of the South appreciate the efforts of the administration to restore to them their full rights as States in the Union. Thua one by one the departed Sisters arc returning. The passage of the XVlti annindtheut Is now secured and every thing looks bright for peace, harmony and re newed prosperity, THE difficulty concerning the Spanish gun boats has at last been settled, by an order for their release. The Peruvian Minister has been satisfied ; the Spanish Minister is in eeta cies and the contractors are happy and no one feels the worse for the squabble, except the " Free Cubans,'' who regard this action of the Government, following upon the President's message us the death blow to any hoping re cognition. Some-of the members of Congress have speeches written upon the subject and of course they must have an opportunity of get ting rid of their •eloquence and boring their constituents with printed copies, but after that the affair will end. We sympathize with the struggling patriots but unless they make a better show of resistance than they have yet done, the United States cannot 'be called upon to fight their battles.

This is my first picture. Look well on the leading figure in that group. You will see him but this once, yet on his sad fate hinges all the wild end fearful realities which are to follow, drawn to a very great extent, not from imagination, but from life itself. A noble looking, white-haired man sits by a rough table, reading the Bible aloud. On stools by his feet sit two beautiful little girls, his twin daughters, not more than ten years of age, while a noble boy or twelve or thirteen, stands by the back of the chair where sits the handsome, yet matrAly-looking mother.

" Von are wanted,. you black•hrnrted nig ger-worshiper, and I—Colonel Mliandlas— dmve come to fetch yam ! And there's the warrant !" As the ruffian leader of the band shouted these words, the pistol already in his band was raised, leveled, fired, and the father, hus band and Christian, fell dead before the hor ror.stricken " If them gals wore a little older—but never mind, boys, this will be a lesson for the sneaks that come upon the Border—let's be off, for there's plenty more work to do before day light !" continued the wretch, turtling the head of his horse to ride away. "Stop!" It was but a single word-Ispoken, too, by a boy whose blue eyes shone wildly in a face as white as new-fallen saw• and full as cold— spoken us he stood erect Over the body of his dead lather, weaponless and alone.

Column to the right, boys, and follow me." In a minute, at full speed, the party dashed away after their leader, and the wretched family were left alone with the dead. Frozen with terror and awe, the beautiful twins, Lillie and Lottie, crept out to the door- way, where their mother and brother knelt over the stiffening form of him who had been so good and kind—their dear father. Oh, what a picture I Grief was still. Nor sob, nor tear, not even a moan arose. They were dumb with agony—paralyzed with a sense of utter bereavement. k M * It is now 1861. The old log house has dis appeared, but in the same,noble grove a pretty white cottage Is seen. Barns and haystacks all tell a story of good farming and profitable results. On the embowered porch of this cottage sits the widow, still in her mourning garb, worn for him whose death we have already pictured, and near her stand two lovely girlsthe twin sisters, Lillie and Lottie, now in the early bloom of beautiful womanhood. They look alike, are dressed alike and are exceedingly beautiful., Lillie held a letter in het hand which the mounted mail carrier had left as he swept by. " Oh, mamma, mamma I brother is coming home ! Ile says he will be here before the sun sets on the twenty-fifth l The letter is from Fort Kearney, and has been long in coining." "Is not to-day the twenty-fifth asked Lottie. "To be sure it is, and he will be here. Our William is wild, but he never tells a falsehood. Ile is too proud for that ! Heaven bless him!" said the mother, in a low, earnest tone. "Ito is not coming alone," said Lillie, " he brings two friends with hint." "It lacks scarce half an hour of. sunset," said the mother. At the same instant Lillie, who had been glancing through an avenue which led west ward in the grove, cried out: " They are cooling ! They are coming !" And three minutes later, their horses frothy and hot, three riders at full speed dashed up to the gate fronting the cottage. "Oh brother ! * brother I" cried the two sisters, joyously, and all heedless of the stranger eyes now looking on them, they rushed out to embrace and kiss him. Buffalo Bill, for it was he, had learned to hide all his feelings, but with a gentle tender ness he shook himself out of their embraces, and presenting bis two friends by name, hur ried on. to meet the dear mother, who, with glistening eyes, waited to greet her idol and her pride. " lily good mother !" was all he sail as he pressed his manly lips to her white fachead. " My dear min l" was all she said, but pages would not describe the reverence in his tone, or the undying love in her look. Bill now presented his friends in more form to his mother than he had deemed necessary in the case of his sisters. "'finis, mother," said he, presenting it young sun who, in form and appearance, re sembled himself ♦ery closely, though he was nil inch taller, and hardly so muscular, this is toy mate—this is Bill Hitchcock, the best friend I ever had, or ever will have, outside of our own family. Three times has he saved me from being wiped out. Once by the Ogal lalas, once When I was taken with the cramps in the ice•cold Platte, last Winter—and once when old Jake M'Candlas and bin gnng hnd a sure act on me. Ile and I will sink orswim in the same river, and that's a safe bet. Bill, that's my mother, and a better never trod the foot stool !" While Bill, with a natural grace, bent his proud. head and took the hand of the lady, saying, in a tremulous tone : " I'm glad to see you, ma'am, for I've got a good old mother that I haven't seen this many a (layout,' this rayther brings her up afore me!" " And this other," continued Bill. " is Dave Tutt. Tic is good on a hunt, death on the reds, and as smart as bordcrinen are made nun - -a-days. Now, boys, you're all acquainted, make yourselves at home. The darkey out there has got the horses, and he'll see them all right." Three more perfect men in point of persom beauty never trod the enrth. Wild Bill, six feet and one inch In Neigh straight as an ash, broad in shoulder, round and full in chest, slender in the waist, swell ing out in muscular proportions at hips and thighs, with tapering limbs, small hands and feet, his form was a " candy '' Ilk Ingo, opon and clean, had regular features, the nose slightly aquiline. Ills large bright eye„ no soft and tender in expression, were bluish gray in color, shaded by lashes which often drooped over his bronzed cheek as he looked down, somewhat confused in female society, to which he was unused. Ilk long brown hair fell in wavy masses over his shoulders, but it WIN fine, soft and glossy as silk. The same picture will do for Buffalo Bill, only this difference noted. The eyes of the latter were nearer a blue in color, his height one inch less, and his hair a little more wavy and a shade lighter. Dave Tutt, nearly of the same bight, was equally well formed, but there the resemblance ceased. His eyes were black as jet and deeply set, though his features were perfect, and, when he chose, his expression soft and winning. His hair, curling slightly, was black and glossy. But with all his beauty, there was a sensual expression about his mouth, so utterly different from that in the other two, nud tierce, passionate longing in his eyes, which Made the two girls, instinctive in their purity, shrink from him. After supper the reunited family and their guest?, were cosily scaled in the sitting-room, whun Mrs. Cody, whose face was towards the window, screamed out in sudden terror, and rose to her feet with a face so deathly pale that it seemed as if she was death-stricken. " What is it, mother 't" cried Bill, springing to her side. "The window —he was there I" she gasped, and then she swooned away. " Ilr ? Girls look out for mother ! I'll see what hr was at the window I" cried Bill, and he sprung to the open casement. As lie did so, a bullet whistled past his car and struck the opposite Ivan, while a hundred wild yells proclaimed that Indians had 'sur rounded the house. Wild Bill, cool and collected, instantly blew out both the lights, exclaiming : Darkness nem and moonlight out filar! We'll'be all right in a shake. • 3011111) for your tools boys, mine's handy. ' Gals, lay low out 0' range, we'll soon let the reds knot• old hands arc here." The three young men, reinforced by three negroes and one white man, the farm hands, were ready for work in less than a minute, and as the Indians did not seen disposed to make a rush for the inside of the house, crept quickly to points where front the doors and windows they could pick the fiends out front their coverts among the trees around. Meanwhile the twins had succeeded in re storing the mother to consciousness, and to the hurried inquiry of her son as to whom she had seen at the window, replied that she had recognized the thee of Jake Mliandlas, the murderer of her husband, glaring In with a look so full of hate and vindictive cruelty that she w as completely lairror stricken. "'There's too many reds out there, or I'd nnike a rush and settle his hash I" said her son. "If he'll only stay 'till we thin 'em down a few, I'll accommodate him with a private en tertainment. Look out for yourselves, girls —the boys are giving 'em Jessie, and it's about time my hand was in I" A. raPid tiring had been going on from the moment. Wild Bill got to the door, the Indians shouting at random, for all in the house was dark except the Hash of the guns, but every now and then a yell of agony told that the at tacking party were nut going unpunished. They could only be seen as they sprang front tree.to tree fur cover, but their terrible yells ringing through the air told that in num bers they were at least ten to one of the de fending party. " Whites the stock ? Won't they try to run that off ?" asked Wild Bill, as his mate, stand ing by his side, sent a lied to eternity with a shut from his favorite long rifle: "I expect they will. I would almost as soon lose my hair as to lose Powder Face, for the insect has carried - me through more bad scrapes titan I've time to count," said Buffalo Bill, referring to his favorite horse. " And I will lose my hair afore I'll lose Black Nell, Mr she never deserted me. She'll kick the.head off any lied that tries to mount her. But can't we get to the horses ?" " Wait till I give Dave and the boys in herd their orders, and then you an' me will get to the horses and come in on 'em like as if we were fresh hands in the light." " That's the talk,Bill—that's the talk. Only let mental Black Nell and you and Powder Face give 'ens a charge In the rear and they're gone in !" ' Pepper into 'cm then, till I tell the boys here where we're goin', so they'll be keertul bow to shoot when we're s couain'." . . Buffalo Bill now horridly told Dave Tott and the torn, who were tiring at everything they saw move among the trees, what he and Wild Bill intended to do. Thu girls and his mother were to know nothing of it till it was all over, for the two Bills felt as sure of driv Ing off the foe by their' plan as If they were already in full chase of them. . Dave Tutt did not express any wish to .go along, which rather surprised Buffalo Bill, for it was a duty that brave men would surely court. But there was a reason for this, as there is indeed for ;everything, as the ren der will learn by and by. The two friends, carrying their arms and bending low in the shadow of the garden bushes, crept away from the house until they reached a grain-field - beyond the trees, Into which they moved swiftly. They had but a little .listance now to go to reach the stock pas ture, and they got to the last In the very nick of time A. half-dozen dusky figures were already there, and the horses, disturbed by the firing, were very uneasy as these advanced. Two shrill calls, understood well by the ani mals for which they were intended, brought two noble animals, " Black Nell" and " Pow der Pace," to the edge of the grain•ftold. The next instant, needing neither saddle nor bridle, the two men were mounted, and without a \von], both dashed forward upon. the Indians who were after the stock. So suddenly and unexpectedly were these overwhelmed—not it shot being fired, only tonmhaw 'used—that tlurre alarm in the grove. Then the two nun sped on, not noiselessly now, hut whooping and yelling in wild concert, and urging their steeds faster by their cries, till they were upon the rear of the astonished redskins,pouring out shot after shot with deadly effect on the enemy. Wheeling and circling here and there, never missing a shot—it seemed .s there were twenty, rather 1111111 two—:Wild Bill and oar hero dashed on, currying death at every leap. The lndianit, who were• Cheyennes, suppos- ing this to be a reinforcement to those who had defended the house so well soon gave )vay and fled in every direction, but not before full half their number had fallen. " Curse them, why do they shoot so careless front the house—this is the second graze I have had front there," cried Wild ISM, as he wiped the blood from a wound grazing his check. MMl=3l=E= quarter," said Buffalo BBL " I'd like to know what they mean. It can't be lint they know where we are. sever mind--I must hunt tip old M'Kandlas now, for if mother saw him he must be here. Let's chase them, Bill, as long as we can." • The two men dashed amity, and again a bul let, evidently from the house, passed so close to Butlido Bill's head that he felt its wind. The Indians scattered far and wide, butt the two men succeeded in knocking over a half dozen more, when the thought struck them that it was better not to go far from the house lest some lurking behind would continue the attack, and.they rode back. The search for a white can among the bodies of the slain was unsuccessful, so Bill decided in his mind that if M'Kandlas had been in the party lie had escaped this time. As they approached the house they took pains to make their individuality known by signals which could not be mit:understood, therefore they were spared the perils which it seemed friends•ralher than their foes had cast upon them during the charge. In n short time, their horses left close in the shadow of the house, the two breve friends were in it once more. " You can light up, I reckon," cried Buffalo Bill, when he ejdercd. "The Beds, ur what's left of 'em are off to their tribes on the run." " Thank Heaven, you are safe," said 'Mrs. Cody, as she heard the voice or her son. " hope you and your brave friend are unharmed?' "All right, mother, butt a scratch or two that cold water will heal—but are you sure you saw the face of Jake 11' Kandlus at the win- (low ?" " Yes, my son—l never can forget his thee, I surely saw it." "Then he has got Mr this time. I knew most of his gang had gone under, but I didn't think he had taken up with the Cheyennes. They say that every tribe in the West but the Pawnees are going with the South. If they. do we border folks will have our hands full But we're gopd for 'em, aren't we, Bill '+" " I reckon we are, if we know ourselves," said Wild Bill. The moon had gone down before day dawn ed. but the repulsed Cheyennes never abated in their headlong speed until a couple of hours after sunrise, when they had reached a thick cottonwood grove on the south bank of the Republican river. Ilere, at the call of their chief, they dis mounted and gathered around him. By his side, with a ecowl of anger and some show of distrust, too,in his face, stood Jake .71P Kandlas, the white ruffian who had planned tlds foray, Looking sternly at him, after counting the warriors Cell, the old chief said : "'There will be a great cry among the squaws in the lodges of the Chryvonc, Many war riors have gone down—their scalps are in the ells of our enemies, and we have not a scalp h show that has been taken in return far ours. tat has the Hawk (tithe Ilills to say in this?"

" The Hawk of the Ilills speaks like a man. The heart of 13ig Maple was weak. It is strong again. The warriors will cook meat and eat while their horses rest and feed." Light blazing fires, emitting scarcely any smoke, were not• made from dry twigs, and the warriors made a hearty meal, the first for twenty•four hours. It WWI not finished wt•hen an alarm was given by a neut. White men and mounted armed were coining in from the South. " They are not those we fought last night," said M'Kandlns. "They have not had time to get to this side of the river. I will ride out alone and see who they are. Let toy red brothers remain where they are ready to light or to gee, if they see that I ant among. their enemies." "The Ilawk of the Hills is n great brave. His words arc good and his deeds go with them," said the Cheyenne chief. M'lCandlas now mounted his horse, put a bit of white cloth on the ramrod of his rule and rode out from the shelter of the grove toward the group of advancing horsemen. sonic ten or 11 dozen In number. They halted as soon as he was observed soil seemed to look to their arms. Ile rode boldly on until within two or three hundred yards when a shout of recognition rose on both sides and the men rode rapidly to meet him. They were his own men from the Black Hills, Ivhom he had left there to carry oli his business of pillaging emigrant Indus, while he came down on an expedition on his own private account. "Why arc you here?" he adied, as they rode up. "What did you leave Cave Canyon for ?" "Because we got sarched out. and scorched out and whipped out !" said one, who seemed to hind the party. " Well, boys, I'm glad you are here, for now I'll do the work I failed in last night. That infernal fiend, Bu ff alo Bill, With Wild Bill and Dave Tutt wiped out over twenty Cheyennes that I piloted down to the Cody place last night. "Dave Tutt ? Why he is one of us—one of our sort at any rate said Frank Stark, the one who had spoken first: "Yes—he used to be, but he's with them now. I couldn't get no chance to see hint alone, or I would have known what it meant. I had my own idea that he was after one of the gals, for they're purtier than any pietur that ever painted; and I know he's dealt after, that kind of game. But ride on, boys, and get something to eat and then we'll plan for a nice bit of work tomight. be tween twenty and thirty Cheyennes left, and they'll fight like blazes for l'UVellgC." ll'Kaudlns now turned and rode hack with his men toward the grows, so busy ity with them, that he did not notice a single per son on a hill beyond the river, who had evi dently seen all his movements, and who rode off swiftly when the ruffian leader entered the grove. " They aro warriors from my hand in the Black hills, come to fight by the side of their chief !"'said l'Kandlas to the Cheyenne chief, as he and hls men rode up among the camp fires. "They are welcome as the rain when the earth is dry. Big Maple is glad to see them here." " Now cook and cat, boys," said mr Knn d Ina, "and let your horses rest and feed till we are right. We'll then wipe out Buffalo Bill and his party, and make a raid down the river as far as we can and then strike for the Platte for a rest.
