where the sun shone, Iarael stood transfixed
at tbe scene.
Like some baited Loll ia the ring, crouched
the gigantic captiTe, has IccScd as before ;
the grass of the green trampled and gored np
all about him, both by his own raorementa
ad those of the people around. Except some
soldiers and sailers,, these teemed mostly
towna p-eop!e, collected here oat of cariosity.
The stranger was oatlandijhly arrayed ia the
sorry n-maias of a half-Indian, half-Canadiaa
j sort of dress, constating of a fawn skia jacket
j ti far o-t side and tanging in rugged tufts
j a half rotten bark Use a belt of wampcm ;
i aged breeches ef sagitfcy ; the darned worsted

Afraid, wonli yoa say I . Afraid of the
sword friend and champion ef all the ladies,

The lady adranced ; and soon overcoming
her timidity, her white band shone like whip
ped foam among tbe wares of flaxen hair.
"Ah, this is like clipping tangled tags of
fold lace," she cried bct ace, it is half
straw."
'Bat the wearer is no man of straw, lady ;

not by yoor word toe wonted way of all the

tbe air of a prosperous farmer, brcabed in like

GENERAL WILLIAM WALKER.
From tie Lomnana CourUr.
We perceiTe in many of or eachaages,
within tbe lat few days, an extract from a late
number of 'Blackwood's Edinbnrg Magazine,'
a N icaragna, In which it is stated that Gen.
Walker, whose position in its aSiira has drawn
all eyes upon him, is about forty years of age,
and it a satire of Alabama, and giving some
details as to bis early life and education,
which are eome times correct and sometimes
other-wise.
The writer of this article Las known Wil
liam Walker from his childhood, and baa it,
therefore wi:hin Lis power to correct seTt.-al
errors which preralled with regard to bim.
In the Crt place, then he is a natiTe of the
city of Nashrille, Tennessee, his father be
ing of Scotch birth, coming we be lie re, from
Glasgow or its Ticinity, his mother, who waa a
sister f John NorrtU, at one period a Sena
tor ia Congress from Michigan, being a satire
of Kentucky. William the eldest of their
children, la about thirty-three cr foar years of I
age, is of rather dimiaotiTe etatare, with
whitUh hair, fair complexion, mac a stained
on h:s cheeks and abont the eyes with freckles,
grey eyes, and a cosatenaoce, a tbe whole,
rather tame and CEpouesaiag. Ilia voice ia
low and decideib'y aaaeL being what the child
ren call tiegsocg; bis manners are encoaacnooiy
qtsitt and reserred, if not awkward ; bat when
is ccpany with intimate friends, or wbea la
tereited ia any subject, be wakes np, and Lit
whole appearance greatly changes.
At school and coil'ge. Walker was roai
tacrtcra a&d stodiocs. He was parttcalariy
proStiert ia mathemaUes and the exact scien
ces, and on Lis gradaaiios at the Unirersity
of Nashrille, he weat t Edlnbcrg, where be
went throcgh tbe School ot Medicine, aod af
terwards aOf.vl-A ledcr cn that aci'mce is
Paris, an! then trareled orer a considerable
portion f mddie and socthrra Ecrope. On

tu teal h-ia tearperaineat f tied bim lor
the life oi a phynctaa, and he case to this

obtained admittaace to the Ear. He per wed

TTIE WILD WOMAN.
The Cincinnati Commercial, of a recent date, ; had been afraid to enter tbe den, and that w
aays : Yesterday wo called at the U. S. hotel ; his first care was to sVrp ttp the mouth of it,
to see the "Wild Woman of Wacbita Sfoac- ! and wait for her to eome back. After a few
talna. Sr. J. W.C. Northcott, her captor, in- hours, she retcmed, and took alarm on brr
