questions are now solved which were raised a

become Of her? Will she live with him in IN,
wllds OF the American forest? No; she died il
the forest, away from the refinements Of society
OF wasted, broken heart,--the instrument anC
victim of specializing man, who hesitated not (

one of wrctchedness and woe-merely to fill his
pockets with the shlllings of gaping, sight-see

| A few facts regarding this unfortunate mar.
rage, which are not generally known on this
side OF the Atlantic, may perhaps be interesting
and which Learned while in London.
Mr.. Catlin said in his publication, that "the
Young lady was an exceedingly pretty and inter.
esting girl, and of respectable family" She
lived with her parents in George street, near by
where the Indians lodged. Mr. c. endeavors
to smother this disgusting affair in the following
romantic language. (See his published Notes y
"There were several fair damsels who nightly
paid their shillngs and took their positions near
the platform. From the fair hands OF these he
(Strong Wind received, unobserved, many pre-
clous and sly gifts, and amongst them several
little bIllets OF the most sentimental nature, con-
tanning enclosures of beautiful little stanzas, and
cards Of address, &C.
s.,"Among this group of inveterate gazers was
always, though most coy and least .noticed,
the sweet little black-eyed maiden, who kissed
her hand and threw boquets of flowers to the
Strong Wind, from the back window of her ia
theirs house on George ST. The whole soul OF
the Strong Wind, which, until now, had been
unclaimed and free as the mountain breeze, was
completely enveloped in the soft and silken web
which the langushing black eyes, the cherry
and pupy lips and rosy cheeks Of this deyouring
little maid had spun and entwined about him.
He trembled when he Strengthened his tall and ell
egant figure above the platform, not that he was
before the gazing world, but because her soft
black eyes were upon him, &c.
A marriage was accordingly brought about.
and it had been carefully rumored that the wed.
ding was to take place at ST. Martins church,this
being the most-centerly situated at Charing cross
where the cavalcade would attract the greatest
attention from the passengers in the crowded
thoroughiare, and witness the shovel spectacle
of beautiful London girl married to an Indian
from the wilds of America"
To create great excitement on the occasion,
several coaches and omnibusses were engaged,
that containing the Indian Cadotte, or as he had
been termed "Strong Wind" with his bride,
was drawn by four horses all decorated with
garlands, rbands, &c, accompanied by the 9TH
er Indians with colors flying, music playing,
through the most crowded streets of London,
10 the church, where the ceremony was to be
performed.
Here was the key to this most disgusting
hansaction-to get up an excitement, that the
greater number of shllings might fall into the
pocket of the manager, for it was Immediately
announced in all the London journals, after the
marriage was solemnised that thereafter the
beautiful and interesting bride of ." Strong
Wind " will make her appearance on the plat
form with the Indians, and preside at the pa-
no."
The London public saw through this transac-
ton and refused to countenance the Indian ex-
hibition, while the whole press denounced it rs q
shameful affair, and the speculation was loos-
ing one to the protector. The sequel is known.

husband TO his parent home-repented-alas too
late pinned day by day in the rude lodge OF her
Indian lord, far away from her own happy isle,
until death divorced her from her unhappy bonds
