Uitness.-I It'd not speak no language

Then there was n general laugh in which
the Judge Jury and audience joined. The

The Indian Girl.

We have just received from our Florida core
spondent, Lance Corp, Iinkelpo, of the 7th iniai
try, the following version of an address recent
made by an Indian girl to an officer in the FLOR
ia service:
Nay, stranger chieftan, urge me not
10 leave my forest home;
Can Indian vengeance be forgot
That will! thee may roam I!
I've seen thine eye like lightning flash
When the foe from his covert sprang;
I've seen thy steed-like spirit dash
Where the red mans rife rang.
saw thee, chief, in the thickcning fight:
Where thou diist say my sire;
And did swear by the morning light
But--love has quenched my Ire.
Then, warrior, doir thy flowing plume,
And throw thy cutass by;
Haste to the plains where wild flowers bloom,
Where pleasures never die.
I'll make thee hut Of palmetto leaf,
With bed of the Spanish moss,
And there Iii smile away thy grief,
And thy lips with kisses cross.
I'll show thee how to hunt the deer
And trail the f0eman's steps;
I'll show thee waters deep and clear,
And the fish in their sunny depth.
Well live ALONE by the the rivers side,
Where the swan and the turtle play;
Far from her tribe thine Indian bride,
Shall live and love all way.

they continued their visits again for

TIE PRAIRIE DOG.

TIE PRAIRIE DOG.
I Learning from the guide who had re-
turned that there was a large city or COM
monwealth of prairie dogs directly Oh the
route the command would take, with two
companies started on ahead to visit these
neighbors. Wewere induced bya double
object--rirslly by desire to examine one
the republics about which prairie travel
lers have said so much and secondly TO
obtain something to eat, for the flesh OF
these animals was said to be excellent.
Our road wound up The sides of a gent
ly ascending mountain for some six or
seven miles. On arriving at the SUNNI,
we found IA beautiful table land spread out
before us, reaching for miles in every dl-
reclon. The soil appeared to be uucom-
monty rich, and was covered with luXu-
lious growth of musqucet trees. The
grass was of the early musqueet species,
the sweetes, and most nutritious Of all the
different kinds of that grass, and the dogs
never locate their towns or cities except
where il grows in abundance.
We had proceeded but short distance
after reaching this beautiful prairie before
we came upon the outskirts of the COM
monwealth. A few scattering dogs were
seen scampeling i'll, andby their short and
sharp yelps giving a general alarm to the
whole community.
Upon the first cry Of danger from the
.outskirtsit was soon takenup in the centre
OF the city, and now nothing was TO be
seen in any direction but a dashing and
scampering of the mercurial and cxcilable
denizens of the place, each to his lodge or
burrow. Far as the eye could reach the
city extended, and all over it the scene
5 was the same.
We rode leisurcly along until we had
reached the more ihickly settled portion of
the place when we halted, and after taking
the brides from our horses to allow them
to Craze we prepared for regular attack
upon the inhabitants. The burrows were
not more than fifteen yards apart, with
Wcl-uOuueii PdtiiS lcduiuS III eiHCiCHt vi
reclions, and even thought | could dis
cover something like regularity in the lay
ing out of the streets.
We sat down upon bank under the
shade Off musqueet Ia leisurely surveyed
The scene before US. Our approach had
driven every one to his home in our i'm.
mediate vicinity, but some hundred yards
: off the small mound of earth in front OF
each borrow was occupied by dog, sitting
straight up on his hinder legs and coolly
looking about him to ascertain the cause
Of the recent commotion. Every now
and then some citizen more vcnturous
than his neighbor would leave his lodge
on flying visit to companion, appa,
rently exchange a few words, and ,her
scamper back as last as his legs would
carry him.
BY and by, as we kept perfectly still
some Of our nearer neighbors were seer
cautiously poking their heads from GU
