It was hem the Indians met in treaty several years ago, and from the fact a city has taken its name— Council Bluffs. Among the early settlers of this section of the country, there was a family by the name of' Denver, consisting of father and mother, one son and two daughters, the eldest of whom was sixteen years of age.— She watt a lovely young creature—lovely in her innocent goodness, and she was beloved by a young man named Edwin Hobart. Hobart had formed this attachment for the young creature while ebe yet resided in the East ; and then her father removed to the West, the young man followed. But he had never been an especial favorite of the father, and now he appeared to be len so than over. Mary Denver had formerly received the address of the young man with some degree of favor, but she saw the dislike her father entertained toward the young man, and al though she could not give any reason for it, she felt that it could Dot be without fbun dation. So she tlankly inforrsed Hobert that he must cease to address her, until her father should fee! differently in the matter. To this Hobart replied : "Mary, I have loved you long and tender ly—even from my earliest recollection. I have left my home to follow you. I have carefully examined every act of my life, and I can not find an intentional dishonest one. I believe your father's dislike to myself to be entirely without foundation. But you know your own feelings. If you will love me and consent to be mine, your fsther will soon learn that he has hated without a cause. If you reject me, you will send me upon the !world with a frosen heart; and God only knows, in my Impulsiveness, what I might do, or what would become of see." "This sounds something like a threat," returned the girl, proudly, and she turned away. Two nights atter the oonvenation, the alarm of Indians was given. Mothers sprang from their couches and duped their little one* to their bosoms in terror. Strong men seized their weapons, and prepared to defend their homes to the last. Ono dwelling was already in flames. A few shots had been beard, a shriek had arisen upon the still nigbt air, and then all was still me the crackling fins No other house was molested, and the mews appear. ed ty have withdrawn, In'a short time the daylight dawned, and the neighbors began to assemble around the destroyed home, which proved to be that belonging to Mr. Deaver and his A search for the inmates IMP at rune lit. atituted.

All seareh for Mary was vain, she was no were to be ftrand. Among those present was s young men who appeared to be deeply of soted by this terrible deed, and he even wept.

Hobart was nowhere to be found; and Charles Barr, the weeping man, appeared somewhat uneasy. Then he hinted his sus picious, and at Wit declared openly that if Hobart did not soon return, he should be lieve that the deed was performed under his direction, by savages whom he had OM ployod. Allusion was then made to the re jection of Hobart by Mary and be was un derstood to have made a terrible threat at the time. Mr. Denver was new able to speak a few words. He told them that savages had done the work ; but that he believed them to be headed by a white man in disguise. "Could that white man have been Edwin Hobart?" asked Barry. Mr. Denver remained silent for a time.— It appeared to be a difficult question to ans wer. Bat be finally said: "If Hobart bad any motive for doing this, and I could believe him capable of commit tingle terrible a deed, I might fix the guilt upon him: for certain it is that the white man is about the size of Hobart, and his motives were much the same." "He is the gat) , one," said Barry; "and by Heavens be shall gaffer! I'll hunt him to the very ends of the earth, bet I will find him and bring him back." The day pissed and the easitomeet in.. creased in the little settlement. Ilobart was still absent. Stouts had been sent out however, in search of him ; and just as night was coming on, he was brought beck. By this time the excitement had reached such a high pitch that the infuriated people could scarcely be restrained from rushing upon him and tearing him to pieces. But Barry assumed the command and declared that everything must be done in order. The trial was a brief one. Hobart could explain his absence no further than to de dare that he had merely been away on a hunt. This was unsatisfactory. Just before the dacission was given, an Indian came forward and offered to give in his testimony. Ho was permitted to do so ; and he declared that Hobart bad tried to hire him, some days before to engage in that work; but that ho had declined. This was enough. The Indian was a drunken, worthless, fellow; but his wordy were believed—more especially as the amu sed had very recently been seen in earnest eoavereation with him. Hobart was con demned to be hanged at midnight. Two hours were to elapse before the exe cution was to take place; during this time preparations for it , met be made. Barry had resolved that it should be a grand affair. An example must be made of Hobart for the benefit of all such as should be inclined to do wrong in the future. The preparations were complete at half past eleven. A gallows bad been erected upon an open field. Around this was heap ed up quantities of brush-wood, forming a circle. These were then to be lighted and the prisoner then marched to his doom. There was no place where Hobart could be imprisoned with safety, and so he was fire ly bound with ropes and placed prostrate upon the ground. In addition to this heavy chains were placed upon him, and forked limbs out hem trees, the prongs sharpened, and driven down into the earth over his limbs. In this pipeful position the poor accused was kept for two hours, unable to move, his floe and form flat upon the frosty earth. The citizens zurrotmded him, heaping their curses time hint, while some could not ever refrain from inflicting blows upon him, even though they felt sure he would soon pay the penalty of his crimes with his life. Everything in readiness, Hobart WU taken to the fatal spot. The chains clanked fear hlly at every step, and he staggered under their weight; but his bearing was that of man resolved to suffer bravely, although in silence, • The fatal noose was placed around his neck, and than the area were lighted. The flames shot up, throwing their red glare all around. And that scene wse a sickly one. The doomed man stood erect• His eyes shone Ike *an as he galled upon the burn ing masses near him and the orowd of angry oitesena. HU rhos vas very pale, sad wore a deathly hue in the light of the biasing log ; bat there were no marks of fear upon IL "Have you anything to all befbre you die?" &eked Beni. "Only this," replied the doomed man, firmly. "If you ever see May alive, tell her that I loved her to the last, and that I am innocent of this crime." "Up with the wisteh I" cried Berry. "Stay! Let the white man live I" ex claimed a commanding' voice, and a huge Indian chief leaped within the circle. "What wants the chief?" atled Barry, evincing now fear "To speak vith your people for a ma meal." Theo Muting to them he mined : "You are ehildren. The guilty die not like that man, You should know this." "Is he nal guile' asked a handrail voices. "Nat' "Who is the guilty ens r' "Listen, fbr the chief speaks trots% A dog of a pate•face came to toy warriors...-. He gave them fire-water and mde them mad. Theo he bribed them to do that deed of blood, and led them on. He told them that they should kill all in that wigwam bat the pale maiden. She bad refused to become his Squaw; but he would take her to the mountains and make her his slave." "Where is the pale maid ?" cried several voice, r "I have brought her back. I can not give you back your murdered ones, but I will give you the dead bodies of those who murdered them, for I have slain the break ers of our treaty I" Mars now entered the circle, and was received by the warmest greetings. But the men asked : "Have you killed the white man with the other murderers?" "There is the pale-faced dog." The chief pointed to Barry, who attempt ed to escape, but was "soured, and in ten minutes was hanging in the place ho had for Hobart. The blow wan a severs ono for all. Poor Hobart suffered an age of agony in the few short hours of that night, and he could not readily recover from the shock. His heart had been frosen ; but Mary, as his wife, warmed it into life again. Tw• Children Lou.t ram LIVIA PRIAIRVILD DT A DOG. On Wednesday, says the Keokuk (Iowa) Constitution, two boys named Lynch and Nicholson, aged respectively nine and ten years, went to the woods west of the city, to got a pieoe of hickory to make a bow. They wandered out so far that they got lost. In their bewildered state they searched about for some land-mark that would lead them to their homes. While thus engaged, they espied a black lamb frisking about near them, and Lynch told Nicholson that be was going to Catch it, and accordingly gave chase. In a few momenta he and the lamb both disap peared in the thick underbrush• Nicholson, after waiting some time for Lynch to return, set about to find the way back to the city himself, which be succeeded in doing, and arrived at home late in the evening. Young Lynch, however, was not so fortunate. He wandered ■bout in the woods till late at night, when he lost all hope of finding his way out of the forest, and laid down beside a log and slept till the next morning. Be ing refreshed by his sleep, ho again went forth with more buoyant hopes to find his way home. But he was again doomed to disappointment, and after strolling through the woods all day was again compelled to make his bed upon the oold ground with oo cover but the blue sky. He had Just laid himself down when an unexpected but wel come visitor arrived to share hie bed and keep him company. This strange visitor was a large Newfoundland dog, which staid with the little fellow till Friday morning. A short time after daybreak the dog showed signs of great anxiety and uneasiness, and started to leave young Lynch, but he had enough foresight to foltow the dog, and was conducted by the faithful animal t I the road, where he saw a man upon a wagon. He hailed the man, and after telling his adven ture, was put into the wagon and brought to his home. The joy of the parents upon his return can better be imagined than die• gibed. After searching for their boy in every imaginable place where it was thought he could be, without avail, they bad about given up all hopes of finding hiss, and there is a probability if it had not been for that faithful Newfoundland dog, the child would have starved to death or died of grief in the lonesome forest, During the two days and nights that he weak* he was without a mouthful to eat, and his countenance showed plainly that be had indulged Weir sively in tears.

Their bodies were tattooed all over, their teeth were dyed Walk sad they Wilted more like ghosts them mow ! On the grated were skulls of dead me, and bones vett scattered ell *MO, tai' strata The woolen were the usllidleiree my, and were mart than the men. The king did not want to lee me, being afield' that he would die if he saw a spirit. The men did not seem afreid, but the women did. I saw one of the latter run into one of the beta with the leg of a man Just cut off.—, This made me feel uncomfortable, and my only consolation was that Iwu very thin, and not worth much for eating. At length the king came to me, surrounded by his warrior. He was dressed with the skins of wild beasts, and held a spear in his bands He looked at me with wonder, and I did the same with him. He said he was not afraid of me when surrounded by his warriors. I put a bold !hoe on it, and said that spirits were never afraid, also. They gave me a bet to sleep ht, but I did not sleep that night—the woman with the leg depressed my spirits: In the morning, when I arose and went out at the back door, I met with a great reception. Cannibals from every pert of the country had come to see me. They got accustomed to me in time, and I 'to them, and wo became the best friends. After a fbw days the queen came to see me. She was a lovely creature—teeth sharpened to a point—body tattooed all over. Cooked plantains were brought me to eat. I told them I never ate cooked food, for I was 'Medd that men's flesh bad been cooked in the same pot , before. The cannibalism of the people is of the worst kind. They eat bodies, not of their enemies only, but also of their own people. A man, however, does not eat the body of his own family, but %m -ules exchange their deed with each other. In one case that I knew of, a corpse, five days dead was sold for food. They like their gaits high. They all agree that a woman is tenderer than a man—not the heart mere ly, but the whole body. Boys, too, are tender, but old men very tough. I myself could lee no difference in the appearance of the flesh of' men and that of the gorilla, except that it was a little finer in texture. But in spite of their cannibalism, they are the finest tribe in that country. Their houses are built low, not more than five feet in height, on account of their tornadoes The walls are made of the bark of trees, they have a little door in front and back, but no window& Polygamy is common among them, and the more wives a man has the happier he seems to be. Slavery is known, but is not much practiced, because men are Woe, and they prefer to eat them rather , than make slaves of them. They work iron I in the most beautifbil manner, make knives, spears, and very sharp axes. They are ex ceedingly given to fighting, hence their fond. nese of working in iron, and their aptness at it. Nothing from the coast reaches them except a few beads and pieces of copper. They cover the bandies of their knives with skin taken from the bodice of men. On parting, the king made me a present of one of these, it bad belonged to his father and was covered with human skin. One day, as I was lying in a forest, I got waked up by an army of bashiqus, a strange kind of ant. I was so math bitten by them that I was half dead. An antelope had been killed the day before by King Bongo, which I had intended to eat. But it was now covered with, oh, millions of ants!— They are the most wonderful insects in the forests. They are the plague and dread of every living thing. When they attack a village tha people have to light foes, pour hot water around, and drew burning ashes around to get rid of these little beasts. They are really wooderhl—always in single line, and sometimes the line is miles upon miles in length. The line is generally two inches in breadth, and there are officers through out the entire length, keeping watch, so that none of these ants get out of line. I watched a line passiag one particular spot, and it was twelve hours before the last of those ants had passed. And as they go through the forest, at a certain signal they spread themselves out and attack everything that oomes out in their way. They will even go to the tops of trees, and the insects and everything else fly away before them. Elephants, antelopes, gazelles, snakes, seer pions, all run away as fast as they can. Is Got, many a time have I been warned of the oomiog of these bashiquas by the insects and other creatures flying away in an oppro. site direction. I got ready for them by having the fires lighted. They are the most voracious little creatures you an imagine, If they found a dead elephant on their line of march they would Week* sod in every short time nothing would be left bet the bones. Sometimes the °hie* will have a man tied up to a tea, sad ht an hour or two nothing 'mild be left of hint but the skeleton. They certainly ere the most vor. miens creatures I ever saw. One singular obewnstame ooaneotsd with them Is, that they are afraid of the sun. It they mete to a part of the &rest where the man is shining, they dig a tunnel under the spot and rem it by that mum, and so continue their march through the forest, in a single file, as beam _ _ _ _ A podium who took a young lady to Niagara WM obliged to being her bows io• mediately, because she waajealotta of Niag ara'" waterfall, Milts_ No nmicotkm of the great debt is now ta king pisoe, The moodily reports of the Secretary of Tremor, show either an in most* is the weight of the terrible incubus, or reoupitulatioa of the pirevionsfbotinp. The harden is greater than the patios sin beer. The strongmen of the mewing, who started off steady and bold under his beck ioad, sow, that the day is advanced and he is well into his toil, begins to stagger end show signs of realises'. If he falls now, what will he do ere the noon of his national life is Niched? What is to be our future ? if the Mongrel" go on in the revolutionary work they have laid out, the great debt will increase millions a year, while the industry of the country, crushed out as it will be, can provide no means of keeping up the in terest, or of paying the ordinary expenses of the goverement. Chaos will set in. Commence and trade dead, no income for the Treasury, ruin on all aides, the paper currency of the country will tumble in value as rapidly as did that of the old Continen billets, and a greenback will not sell for a silver aixpence. The credit of the paper-muney today is based upon the fact, that hitherto the in come of the Goverment was made large enough to pay its expenses and the interest on the great debt. The moneyed scheme of 1780 originated under precisely the same circumstances as ours of 1863—a war debt. The failure of the credit which first sustained the afresh lion of that three humbled and eighty millions of the Revolutionary war-debt currency, grew out of the fact that there was no gov ernment income to secure the interest on the debt. As soon as the people were made to understand that the paper currency of that period was based on air, it fell to so low a degree of value in one short year, that a copper penny would buy a paper dollar. Our people of to-day are attempting to do what the country in 1780 could not do— eustain a heavy public debt.. The huge sum of four or five hundred millions a year must be ground out of the nation whose resources are being destroyed by the men who profess to govern with wisdom. As time rolls on, we see these resources contracting, through the results of this wretched administration, and the debt of this country expanding. Prom January, 1867, to January, 1868, the debt was not reduced twenty-five millions. If the debt is not lessened, and at the same time, if the resources of the nation are be ing destroyed—two great facts now patent to the world—if; added to those, an Admin istration is to be again fastened upon the country, the basis of which is plunder and theiving, and of ooure entailing upon the people continued ruinous taxation, the final result must be the MOM as that which visit ed the country in 1780: a total explosion of public credit and the destruction of our financial paper-currency scheme. Our pa per dollar has been kept to a certain point of credit, 30 to 40 per cent, below par, through the well-known fact of a govern ment income, scilficient to pay the demands upon the public treasury ; but once let it be understood that the debt is gradually in creasing, and the ability of the country to bear taxation gradually decreasing, and we shall see our paper dollar, and the national bonds, with all other evidences of debt, sink, as did the old Continental "promises to pay," or the assignats of France, to the debt of complete worthlessness. The na tion cannot remain on the present track. It is sure to lead to the most terrible social, commercial and political anarchy. The debt must show a quarterly decrease in vol ume, or we are as surely nearing the preci plop as we live. If taxatiou cannot be made to bring this about, the debt must be volun eddy compromised, reduced, or repudiated. The people, the wealth-producer, cannot do impossibilities. Munson nature cannot accomplish superhuman works. It is only through galling taxation, which inaugurates a system,of white slavery, that the financial credit of a country in the con dition of ours can be maintained. The dom inant party of this country is led by bad man. They will have no mercy on the peo ple, whether their own followers, their ors 'supporters, or their political enemies. Gov ernment expenditures will not be curtailed to a degree that the people require, in or der to be able to meet them. The debt, therefore, either breaks the people down IS eett To maintain " public, credit" enslaves the magma, If public credit is not mails tamed, the debt must go. It Is white air very or repudiation. A taxation equal to the necessities of the nation, no people on earth can 'rapport, unless they are as servile as dogs, and will allow themselves to be worked like dogs ; live like dogs ; lick the hand that scourges them, like dogs, and die like dogs, having worked their line oat to no purpose, save to hermit a base party of despots, who stole Into power under the gals. of Republiosnisin. 'ls there nose:ape from repudiation?" asks the high-toned American, who would fide bear some taxation to, what he calls, " preserve the national credit."

I=l3 A SAD Sroar.—From Madagascar there °owes a terrible dory of shipwreek A French vessel bound from Calcutta to Mar was wrecked on the reefs of Isle St. Brandon, and the crew took to their boats, two in number, One of them was thrown back upon the reefs, and all its ooeupants were drowned ; the other made for the nearest Mae days all the provi*. ions were exhausted, and the Captain sue cumbed to fatigue sad privatation. The mote thereupon proposed that they should all drown themselves together, but the bug - gestion was rejected, and the de:anion was made to draw lots as to which of them should be killed and:serve as food for the others. The victim was designated and un• derwent his fate with resignation. Three days after this horrible racrifko on the 6th of January, the boatttouched at Ma/mob°, in Madagascar, and there, more dead than alive, the famished men were kindly receiv ed and sent to the French Mosul. Tns position of the Republioan party with reference to the impeachment and re monl of Mr. Jobnson is well illustrated by a " a little story": " What do you think of impeschutent?" said a gentleman to a Radical, a night or two ago. " Well, I'll tell you . it's like a boy who was digging after a woodchuck like biases. A man who was passing inquired: "' What are you doing, boy?" ‘" Digging fora woodchuck." "' You don't aspect to get him ; do you ?" '" Yea, airree, by thunder must have him ; we're out of meat !" And this is percisely what's the matter with the Radical gentlemen who are digging after Mr. Woodchuck Johnson. A poor woman and her child lately settled in a western city, and were greatly in need of food. The:child seeing a chicken in the back yard wanted to kill it and have a pot pie.
