In the conrse of my wanderings I came upon an emigrant train which was just starting out from "the States," and joined it. The novelty soon worn off and I found the days fatiguing, the nights and sleep only being desirable. I had been con scions for days of a fever in my •eins, lint, had scorned to complain, "and taking a sort of savage delight in seeking to do an extra amount of toil. It was my turn to prepare supper for our mess, lint once ready I went off as far as I could crawl from the noise of the camp and the odor of the cooking. The last I renunnber of that day was my drerpning down by tho side of some shrubs. T on weeks afterward I opened my eyes upon a different team from the one I started with, and the driver was the largest, most uncouth looking man I ever saw. I was on a straw bed, made up on one side of the wagon, and in an swer to my call, the strange man bent over me.. I asked Millie' questions.l bad strength for, and then waited for the an swot s. llc to me in the fewest possible words that I was missed from the train, and he sent back to look for me. That I had "been dead beat for two weeks, Ind had better keep Mill and go to sleep f I could." e I obeyed, because I could not, help it. I received my food and medicine frow the hands of my strange-looking friend, but it seemed• impossible to get any in formation from hi m. My recovery was rapid, and as soon as I :mule my appearance in' tho camp I '.was warmly greeted by our company and treated to many an extra dish by the kind-hearted people. I learned that -I had not been missed until nearly noon of the day that I was left, and then they had halted, and "Si lent Bill" had volunteered to look me up, had found ine, and had taken upon him self the whole care during my sickness. I could find out very little about the maif who had thus brought me back to life. Ile had joined the compact like my self, at the last minute, 1414iven only the one name, to which the Boys udded another, until he was called all over the camp . " Silent Bill." His team was g00d,,. and he wan \yell supplied with provisions, which he handed out generously to any cue who hail need. With my returning strength, '1"-kt:a strong interest in everything, and would gladly have been companionable and useful, but he never called on me to do anytl?ing„ unless some ono 'needed help, theit'he would leave the care to me for a time. lle was always ready to walk that others might ride ; fatigue seemed unknown to him. Foremost, when danger threatened Was his gatint form, and it was, always his rifle, Which biought in the earliest game. It came about that he held the gratitude of almost every one in the train, but loud thanks seemed to offend him greatly. I never saw bins heSitate but (MCC j then some children, two littlu girls, had been running along with their mother, asketrMin - to lift them up 'into his wagon hnd give them a ride, as their own team was far behind. He wont up to ono of them, laid his hand upon -the arm of one, 'halted back, rubbed his hands together ;tad finally called to me. "Put thorn in, will you said he. I lifted them up and gai , e each a kiss as I seated them upon the straw. He was still looking - at his hands. . "What's the matter?" I asked, "both of thein together wouldn't be as heavy as the man yob bore to camp that ddy, only a few weeks past." Ile said nothing, but -held his hands open before me. They were brown and hard. "Are - they dirty ?" I asked. "Yes," said* he emphatically, and shook them out at arm's length. Then he started up his team and did not speak again for hours. All hearbi" became lighter as we a - centlpd!the Sierras and began :to think of finding an abiding place. ' When it came to leave taking "Bill" was missing, the others started on with their teams, 'and I staid by his-until sun down.' Any number .of good-byes and kindly messageB were left 'with mu for him. And one woman gave me a little Package saying c, "He was so 'kind to Willie when he WasOcilc,' and his hand made that precious little &aye bn Alto mountains." I ,thought, to know, the Bill value of the gift, Bill should have received it, aP did, vret with the mo ther's tears.- - - - When ho came bitele, wore alone %non the ", Ho asked, • "'Why didn't ycitt'„go' on 'with the others?". ' • And I answered, "Banana - 1 did, not ,chookai to lonvo you alone, after all you 'knife dodo for me I shall go' with you, if you will let me, it does not Make muc difference to me where." • Ile looked at me keenly. . "You had better not," said he slowly ; "you will wish you hadn't'some clay." We had started a fire, and I could see his face by the light of the blaze. I felt drawn to him, not from any sympathy of feeling, but because I was convinced there would.come a time when I could in a measure repay him for his kindness to me. I reached out my hand, " We'll stick together a while, old fellow." Ho wouldn't take it, but said r,"The kettle boils, we might about as well eat our grub as to waste time a talking." I gave him the messages, which were received in silence, and when I handed the package he only said, " Lay it down." We made ready for an early start in the , morning, - then I rolled 14) in my blanket, and with my feet to the fire lay down to sleep. When I waked iv the blttme had died down, but I could sdb' Bill at a distance, bending over what proved to be a hole in the ground. After a while ho broke off some green broughs, threw them in, and then hastily threw in the earth. if(? came and sat down by the fire, I watched him for an hour or so, but ho never moved, and when I .woke• in the morning, he had not changed his posi tion. We started oil', but I made an excuse td etr urn, mill TiurriaTY opened We' ground where I had seen him working in the night. Ido not know what I ex pected to see, but I certainly was sur ' prised when, I found under Alm covering of earth and green, the little package, which had tearfully been entrusted to my care. I broke the string and found a small copy of "Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress." " I will keep it," I said, " and when lie needs me most he will need this too." When we reached the first miner's camp, Bill waked up and was eager enough until lie had scanned the face of every loan. That day he looked weary, and it was the rust time . lie -laid doWn when I did for the night. In the morning he sold Lis team, all but two horses, those he packed with blankets and provisions, and we struck oft down the canon, stopping wherever any ono was at work, and going out of (mi. way if we heard of a solitary miner. After a while lie left oil telling me to leave him, and I think the companion ship made him feel more human. Once lie stopped a week when I seemed tired out, but'WaS restless and uneasy, and declared "another day would kill him." " Tell me; " said I, ono day, " why you will not rest ; this life is wearing upon you ; you .cannot endure half the fatigue you could upon the Plains. Let's take up a claim and settle down, you will go on—let me help you ; couldn't "\o," he answered, "and I believe you are holding me back. I have felt it ever since 14Irst looked upon your face when I found you half dead by .those bushes that day. I wish I bail left you to die." He sprang up and confronted me, " ill have no more of this, I shall go on lone, and don't you dare get between to and my work or Pli nk eyes fell before mine, link I am afraid of you, who wouldn't mrm men an insect? Haven't I seen you go out of your way rather than tread the life out of a crawling worm Shall all those months of ~unseltish care for nothing, aMryour hasty words' make me leave you. Besides," said I, " I have a work as well as you." He looked in quiringly at me. "Shall I tell you what it is r" Ile sat down by the tiro which Ito had " Keep still," said he, " for one month inure, then you may have your say." in the morning when we started out, the air ,vas heavy with smoke. When we reaciwd San Francisco, after a day or two, wii`fospd there had been an ex tensive lire. Bill was unwearied iu help ing.build-tents for the homeless, and his motley went freely to feed the starv ing hundreds, who were likely to find only a gravi3 in the land which had promised them so much. -I felt .that 'had never known half of his genuine goodness of heart until those days, and I left off watching him as I had done. We were,stopping at ono of the places dignified by the name of "1 hotel," and in those " early times" considered mag nificent in the way of accommodations, quite worth the fabulous prices which were demanded for them: But our parlor was the bar room, and our "room" a bunk, ono of a dozen or so in the same aliTrtan'ent. \Vp had been staying there perhapti three weeks, when one night I was awakened from a smut sloe b the fall of some heavy body. I listened, brit there was no repetition, then I groped my way to bunk. Ho was not there, though I had seen him "turn in" when I did. Ile beard of "Ids [Min" crossing the plains, and so hiid followed, nursing all he time the deepest. hatred in his heart, ,over doubting that ho should find him, nd then the end was plain. lle held - np his hands. " I have seen is blood upon them all the' way," said, gilt. Drunken men of lin nations and Iha I took Sny hat awl par cd ont through o bar room into the darkness and tribes were to be met on the mitiddy side walks, their horrid oaths and obscene jests, muttered or shouted in half-broken limisnage, reminded me of a terrible des- Caption I had listeirel. to when a child, of the abode of ttli) . • .

I read two or three chapters aloud; then put it up without a word: - He becthde' interested, and I read on from day to day, as ho could bear it, until the book was finished.

His first remembrances hail been of a hole where rum had left nothing but ruin. Had never heard a kind word, or had a kiss left upon his childish face, but he -hated the meanness and filth which surrounded him and ran away to sea, when only fourteen years of age. When lie came back, grown to man hood, his old home had been sweptjtmay by the tide of improvements, and his relations were all gone, save one fair headed sister, who might have been his idol, but nhe vanished out of his life without a word of farewell, and for years he never heard_ of her or the man who had lured hor away. The year that I Met him, he had been through the West ; he couldut tell what for, except that, he lied made money and wanted to spend it, Vice and luxury were strangers to him, so his wanfil were few and simple. Ile came to a cabin; one night, and as it was late, asked to be allowed to 'stay ; the man consented, and. bade the wo man provide some supper for the trav eler. His host went out, and his voice could be heard at some distance front the front of the house, The woman eyed him closely from a window, then mo tioning to Bill, led him to a side win dow at the rear of the cabin, whispered to him that 'twas only a mile to the Next house, slipped a piece of paper into his hand, and bade hint run for his life.

THE PHIL4DELPHI4 PARE Philadelphia has the•reputation of be ing-a slow town. • It takes its own way and its own time hi adopting now ideas, and is not quick . to.follow the example of its neighbors, but when it mier gets under way it is most sure to do some thing substantial and noteworthy. The Central Pail had been for ten years the pride of New York before the Quaker City bethought itself of dping anything worthy of mention in the same direction. Now, however, it is fairly started, and its Fairmount Park' is prinnising, in some rcspees,,to outstrip the world. It crtains an area of two thousand seven hundred and forty acres, so disposed as to cover both banks of the Schuylkill and of the Wissahickon for Many Miles, and to bring within the reach of visitors the finest scenery to be found near any largo city in America. _ While Now York has had to make its park at enormous cost, from a most un promising rectangular mass of rock, ,marsh and waste, Philadelphia has liter ally had only to open roads ainl make clearings convert more than three times the a ea of Central .Park into a pleasure ground, with which,. in many respects, Central Park can never hope to vie. For instance, Central Park was mainly covered with squatters' huts, and in its more fertile parts, with market gardens ; that in Philadelphia is chiefly made up of the oldest and finest country seats and (arms in America. The ,Philadel phia park has fully 10,000 trees larger than any single specimen in Now York pdrk. These are not, to any consider able extent, forest trees, but . often well grown specimens, set' out • about the time of the Revolution by the country gentlemen of that period, 9 , :aped., na tive trees left to attain do r fr pelfcct de volopment in pastures and meadows, as has always teen the custom in Eastern Pennsylvania. The valley of the Wissahickon, a gorge about seven miles long, only wide enough for the beautiful creek and a comfortable drive, is such a hemlock shaded, dell-like retreat, ,as wo would expect to find in the Catskill mountains, rather than within the corporate limits of a largo city; - and it is refreshing to think that when all around shall teem with the' busy life of a crowded town, this artery of rural seclusion and fresh ness will, thanks to the foundation of the park, maintain its country-like charac ter, and be forever sacred to the free recrcatiqn of the people whose'mperty it is r and that the scenery shOWn in our illustrations, which is repeated in char acter for miles and miles, can always be enjoyed and never despoiled.—lkarth and Ito me. c IV 0-V EN' S CURIOSITY. lOW ONE OBTAINED TUBED DEOREEN IN ODD VIMLOWSIIIP—A CURIOUS CASE.

Now the shy sinks back, and the heavens are deeper mid bluer. Now the hills crone forward, and throw off 'their vails, that' you, may look them in the very-eyes. Yesterday there were no hills. A coppery haze covered Limn iron' sight. You gazed into the faMiliar places and saw only that dim, Cull, obscuring smoke and vapor, . Down came/the rain. Down came with it dust, 'caper and smoke. Back' came the hills. There they stand,-look ing over at me full of smiles'—both they and I. The wind is Haab. The air is cool—is cold. On this very lag day of Juno I smell frost : But we'll scare all that away oft Fourth of July. Mr. I3onner, do you celebrate that day? Do Lyou buy _your boyslieaps_of_firecrackers, wheels, grasshoppers, torpedoes, 4 and everything elso that will spit fire and make n noise? I do. The fact is, when filmy, I was so hungry for such tliings— an tufted hunger—that I look upon boys with emitpasidOn. I see to it that they have-a bellyful of noise at least once a year. -I know all the sage objections. Them is danger ; they will spoil their clothes ; it is a waste of Money, spending many dollars that only amount to smoke ; annoying peaceable . folks; mul turning creation generally lute a Bedlam lot loose ; all of which objections are not worth a cracker, (fire cracker,) as Isbell* proceed to sliow. 1. As to danger,.. That shows that you have not taught your. boys to take care of themselves. ParentS, are responsible for their childrcies - knoWing how to run, wrestle, climb, hunt, fiat, swim, ride, leap, fence, mow, box, and setoff fire works, without danger. There is an alarming neglect in those things. We don't want a generation of :milksops, that are always safe because they skulk. We want manly moll, rho can do any thing and everything that is honest and honorable, and Still be safe, and be gentlemen, too. 2, What wee clothes made for, but to spoil, if using bo spoiling? , Put on old . clothes; Find if much fire is itbout, put on irOohni . onea.. Don't hot the girls have ,Qn - eotton areams—for girls are all kip, on Fourth of" July, anclminit take patt with crackers and the lighter kinds of fire works. Boys Should bave obitlip third, do not require thinking about, rt, is an ineffable nnisanceto a spirited boY, ts,‘,. be checked at every, atop by the feat of a spot, or rip, or t dash of mud, Thin keeping the clothes 'clean is quite in oiler Sundays. It fills .up the time. which is apt to hang heavy on boy's hands. But in' play time, and especially on high ." training" or "'lection day," or "Fourth of July," the boy who will keep his clotheil okapis a little Pharisee, taking care of the outside at the e2spense Of the inside. B. It is a waste of money. uis all spending. Yet men'will Ituy,bread, .and meat, and apples ! But there is nothing . to. shoye _fur.. it. Is suclf. a_ thundering - stirring up to the very bottom, once or twice a year, nothing? Is it nothing to the child's imagihation all its life after ward, that there was one day full of wild delight ; and one eyening full of wheals;. and fizzing whirligigs, and rockets, and all manner of things that never entered thahead of the apocalyptic, seer? Why, it stirs our .blood to thi' moment, to think how 'we were for biddearfthen at school at Hartford) to go out early on the i'_glorious Fourth" —bow about four of the morning, the - • sir-pounder rung out its sound of vitation—how the shouts came up th e xtreets,"how we were like to die with _kingings = how, at length, daring all threats, we slipped . on on'r clothes, got out of the window upon a shed, and were on the point of jumping fifteen feet down—that was nothing to a nimble boy !—when, 0 woe ! woe ! a hoarse, infernal voice behind called, " Henry, Henry ; - -done in, you rascal :" it Was not the father. No, blessings on him. He had the boy in him to the end, and would have sympathized with )1 little wretch. No—it was—. Never mind— he's.dead, and we'll say nothing. Very , likely it might be indelicate to mention fire-works in his presence. Back we were milled, and to pay fur such disobe dience were , doomed to stay in the house all day, and. that day Fourth of July We were possessed not of seven,-but of seven hundred Fourth of July demons all that day, and all that week ; and to this hour we feel a slight resurrection of them, every time we think of this bar barity. Money wasted! Pa will smoke half a dozen cigars a day, and ma drink numbe4ess cups of tea, all for evall - - cent excitement, and yet talk to limo boy about, wanton waste of money for fire crackers ! 4. It annoys peaceable folks. Of course toe SICK must rule too Boys need but a hint, and they will take care of the infirm. But as to those in ordinary health, they might as well de mand that winds should not moan, and thunder storms shake the earth, and that birds should not get up so early to dig, and that roosters should not crow, or asses bray, or crickets chirp, or katy dids threaten to tell, and never do it. • But enotigh. Stand out of the way of the boys, Mr. Bernier. Let the Ledger be orthodox on that great matter of a real, robukions, joyful Fourth of July. Wo have 110 objections to other modes of celebration. Processions, orations, tem perance lectures, Sunday-school frolics, arc all right, and not at all inconsistent with rockets and crackers. But don't stop vigorous children from working off their exhilaration by real, physical, visible, tangible fun, that appeals to all the senses. There is just one kind of lire-works that ought to be loft out of every Fourth of July, and that is, Liquid Fire-works. Then -all the rest will be. joyful and harmless.—.Y. Y. Ledger. TILE BREAD PROSPECT. tEPORT OF TILE DEPARTMENT OP AGRI-. EMEME! The July returns of the etatisticid the Department of Agriculture show a marked increase in the average of corn, amounting to fully 3,000,000 of acres, of which 2,000,000 are due to the determination of the Cotton States to supply themselves with bread and meat. lois assumed that the area in corn equals 42,0Q0,000 of acres, or more than half of he total acreage of all tilled crops. The only States failing to increase their arca in corn are New York, the New Eng land States and the Pacific States. The percentage of increase in other States, is as follows : New Jersey, 2 ; Pennsylva nia, 1 ; Delaware, :11 Maryland, '1 ; Vir ginia, 5 ; North Carolina, t) ; South Caro lina, 12 ;,Geoitit, 10 ; PioridU, 7 ; Ala- Inutpu, 11 ; Mississippi, 14 ; Louisiana, 15 Tokas, 15 ; Ai kansas, 24 ; Tennessee, 7; W est; Virginia, 5 ; Kentucky, ; M issouri, 10 ; Illinois, 6 ; Indian•t, 4 ; Ohio, :1; Michigan, 3 ; Wisconsin, i ; Minnesota, ; lowa, 15 ; Kansas, 50 ; and Nebraska, 30. The condition of Winter wheat on the first of July was somewhat above an average.' Ihe Spring varieties presented a worse aPPear:mee than has bran re ported for several years at the same dale. The ripening of Whiter wheat. has beer fully a,weelearher than usnal, acid a. large Proportion had been cut at the date of the returns. Never Was there a batter promise in early Spring, and the comparative prevalence of insects and local injuries from drought have been the principal drawbacks. The States showi% a comparatively low condition are Neo/lam pshire,. Verminit, Massa- ChusettS, Connecticut, Virginia, .and all the More Southern States, except Texas, while Kentucky presents an average .of 36 Per cent deterioratr6, Indiana 7 per cent and .California. 4 7 per cent. Aniong the States showing high average are.: Ohio, 4 ; per cent above; Michigan, 8;, Illinpis, 7;' Missburi, 3 ; Kansas,-7 ; Nebraska, 10 ; Oregon 1. The Winter wheat of lowa and Wisconsin is in high, conditions but insignificant in area. The section, having the largest area of Winter wheat is the one in which its'condition is highest, though a majority of ' the 'Winter wheat States report comparatively', poor condition. The only States from which favorable: repeal of Spring wheat aro received aro Maine, Now rfampshire, , Commetictit and. Oregon.'

After all Owing • for the increase : in acreage and 'the large yield of Winter wheat in good wheat districts; the, loss in the Spring, variety must' reduce the aggregate. yield, somewhat. below an average: The hay crop will be a com=, parativelY'small one. Potatoes promise' nu avenge yield, If they escape drought and rot in the future. .Notwithstanding the prevalence 'of the Colorado bug, continued vigilance has partially:averted loss. .• ' • JENNY TIER RECENT APPEARANCE TN LONDON. •A London correspondent of the New York Herald writes Jenny Lind was tire attraction which brought a party of Ameiican amateurs to ,St. James' Hall the other evening. The juices of admission were high, ran,g ing from three to twenty-One shillings for single sdids, but the place was crowded 'by an audience very showy, if not very tastefully dressed. The seats for the chorus were well filled, and the Orchestral performers, few in nunsfer, were grouped hi front of the singers. At the appointed time Mr. Goldschmidt ap peared on the platform, conducting Mrs. Pchey, the recognized contralto , of Eng land since the retireineut of Mine. Saip ton Dolby. Returning be led Mine. Lemmens-Sherrington, the admired so prano; whose services are in constant demand in'the concert-room and oVittor ios. Then Mr. Cummings, the tenor, a most accomplished artist who is soon to appear in New York at,,tlie Dolby bal lad concerts, appeared leading Madame Lind Goldschmidt, who was received . with the most cordial applaitse. name it seems right to call her even now, is very different in appearance from what she was in the days of her American sod cess ; and yet was she to-Morrow to ap pear unheralded at Steinway llall, she isould_h_e_rceognized_at once,. She wears her hair in the same peculiar way she did in her young days, and certain atti- Andes and gestures peculiar to her then are still retained. Once or twice during the evening she sat looking upward; her hands lying crossed on her lap, as in the 'portraits of !torso abundant in the United States, and at such moments she is the Jenny Lirbi whose rarest in the New World now seems like along past dream of unparalleled triumphs. -Hat, - again, Dine has made - her an elderly, matronly woman, older even than her years would warrant. In Eng land, old ladies dress with a degree Of gaudy show that in the United States weal,' be considered i:edienlons. Dowa gers flaunt, around in cheap lace and brilliant bilks, with necklaces and brace lets and flounces and feathers innumer able. Madame Lind-Goldschmidt, on the occasion of this public appearance, wore a mauve satin dress, with very short sleeves and elaborately trimthed with FMCS A - mild necklace, fastened a diamond, encircled her neck, and a white feather adOrned her hair. This dress, though not suitable to the indi vidual, nor in accordance with the marked simplicity which was eliaracte!:- istic of the Jenny Lind of years gone by, was, nevertheless, in entire conformity with the customs of English society. During the instrunthutal •prelude to the oratorimz'which, by the way, the composor modestly calls "a sacrcd pas toral"—and during the recitative for ,the tenor and the fine chorus, "Sing unto the_ Lord," Madame Goldschmidt sat quietly listening. The first note of the part of "Ruth" occurs in a duet, with Naomi (Mrs. Paley), leading to an allegro, " Whither Thou Goest I Will Go." This allegro, running to the upper B flat, was a severe test of Lind's present powers. Her voice to-day shows only faint traces of its once exquisite beauty. It is an evident effort for the great artist to sing, and at times this effort becomes more painful to the audience—or rather the spectators—than to the vocalist. There is, moreover, au occasional tend ency to sharpness of intonation. ThoSe who remember the case of Jenny Lind's singing when in America—something quite as noticeable as the charming quality of her voice—would find it sad to hear it now. And yet when the first impression is worn away, and the eye and ear be come reconciled to the changes which time has. wrought, the consciousness that this woman is yet, perhaps the most transcendent of living vocal artists is suddenly felt. Such perfect phrasing, such superb declamation, to the musician at least, atones for the lack of vocal force. In hearing Jenny Lind even to day you may hear the most magnhicent musical declaimer the world has ever known. The lire, spirit-and triumphant grace with which she concludes ti phrase such. as " Thy people shall be my people and thy God my God," Pi something to remember, for a lifetinie. 'ln the brilliant finale' to the • orator, "( ) Lord, d Will Praise Thee," 'Madame Goldsehmidt manifested again her tine intellectual ap preciation of the composer's meaning. She did not sing all of the music of the part of Ruth, but shared it with Madfone Demmens-Sherring ton, whose freshness of voice was decided iy agreeable; especi ally iii the',l4et, with Ma,latne l'atey Mr. Ctinitoings did well what little w. 1,. required him, and Ilex Stockhausen, the baritone, -4.;ltt 'moderately.. MlC.Cetifi. ftli With the airs allotted to Ilifaz. The interest of the audience wad,' however, eenterefl in Madame Goldse'hinidt, who was enthusiastichlly applauded and called to the platform after the close' of the oratinie Lind has never taken a formal farewell of the stage; but shortly after her, American tour, and when her 'voice was yetan the zenith of its splendor, sire voluntarily retired,: to, private life ! Of late years Ad has again sung ill riot from necessity, but alwayii irr behalf of some deserving charity. Her home is near London, and she seldom leaves Eng land. OLD 808 CARSON.

Lucidly for the squad, at this momene Bob Carson rode up, Areal mounted on his fayo'rite hunting horse , Leo. A shout from the brave twelve men bid him welcome, their object stated, and, requesting him to take command. Nothing suited Carson more than this.'' He told Capt. Price that lie could fol- - low a cold trail as fast as any living man could, and to-give himself no uneasiness, -that he would bridg tiVelve men back and not lose a scalp. The sequel shows'how he succeeded The second day out they struelc the trail, late in the evening they saw in the distance a large party of Indians, and as they were on friendly - terms with the different tribes, Carson and his, band hurried to overtake them, hoping to gain some information concerning the stock. •' The Indians saw :them approaChlug . : and halted for thein to come up.

The runner started, Carson and his men sanguine that everything would prove satisfactory to the chief, remained their Prisoner's cheerful attil happy. . On the morning of the fourth day all were momentarily expecting the runner to afipear. Ten o'clock came, and no runner in sight. Everything in the camp was excitement and commotion. 'Sandi vere was certain his runner had been foully dealt with, and in his anger 111;00 preparations for summary vengeance. Twelve o'clock and 119 runner in sight as far as the eye could reach. - Carson thought his hour had come, preparations were made ; and, wel knowing the terms would be enforecif, he nailed to talk with him before ho and his men were shot. Carson and Sandivere commenced their talk, Carson iii the meantime walking leisurely from the camp, telling the chief that. the horses, saddles, blankets, etc., were all donated and willed to him, the great - chief, and that he would not be compelled, on account of his donation, to divide-them among his warriors. The chief was much interested and pleased with his donation, and Lys this time they were eighty to one hundred yards from the Indian camp, when Car son, with the dexterity of an old moun taineer, pulled from his boot Ir;`,. , la.ii ugly looking holster pistol; cricked, pre sented it directly to 'the face of the chief, exclaiming : Stand, ti .
