Compensation for an Amputated Leg.

Mr.. John Marvin, who was so dread
fully injured by the collision on the O. P.
Railroad, near Alliance, last fall, has com
promised his damages with the company.
Paid his doctor and nurse bill during his
sickness at Alliance, gave his friends free
passes to visit him, and paid him 81, 500
in cash, besides purchasing cork leg to
replace the one amputated. He was about
40 years of age, blacksmith by trade,
and in INDECENT circumstances. He had
just buried his wife, and was taking his
children to his sisters when the accident
befel him. He suffered terrible agony for
while, but with the loss of his leg, he
has at least escaped poverty if he is pru-
dent, and can live on the interest of his
capital quite comfortably:-Forest City

Capture of a SLAYER.

Lieut.. De Camp arrived at this port
yesterday in charge of the Baltimore
schooner n. H. Gambrill, which has been
engaged in the African slave trade off the
Congo river. She is prize to the Uni
States frigate Constitution, and is not at
the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Lieutenant
De Camp made the passage in ffty-three
days from Loando, South Africa. The
cook and one seaman of the SLAYER were
brought with her.
The Grambrill is small schooner of
about 10 tons burthern, and was built in
Baltimore. She is not of clipper build,
and is in no respect fitted for the occupa-
ton in which she was supposed to be en-
gagged.
7 When captured, she was just preparing
to receive her cargo. The bottom OF
the vessel was completely filed with wa
ter-casks which were all planked over
In addition to the regular stove for cook
ing provisions for the crew, a large galley
had been put up the day previous. The
cook, on being questioned, said that s"'the
galley was for him to cook for the niggers.
1t is supposed that she would have re-
ceived from 800 to $50 slaves, in the mar
row space between the deck and the
planking over the water-casks-a space
in which man could not stand erect
Her crew consisted of eleven men all
told--the captain, first and second mates,
cook, steward, four men before the mast,
and two passengers, who went out in her
The captain was an American; the two
mates were Englishmen.
When the Gambill was ready to sail
permission was given to the captain and
crew either to return in. the vessel, or te
go on shore and shift for themselves
They all preferred the latter alternative
excepting the cook and one the crew, whe
returned in her.-N YE. Post.

The State of Europe---Eng!and Prepar-
ing for War;

ing for War.
The news by the Baltic, in its leading
features, is more warlike, and in reference
to the policy of England, is of the highest
moment. The return of Lord P Palmerston
to the Cabinet, it is understood, is equiva-
lent to deliberate determination to pre-
part for war with Russia. His coun-
sells are held to be indispensibleto to decisive
and united action. The majority of the
Commons will doubtless be with the war
party of the Ministry, for the public SEN
timent of England is unquestionally in
favor Of armed Intervention for the pre-
servation of Turkey.
The decline in the French funds, on re-
ceipt of Palmerston's returnto the Minis
try, is most significant Interpretation of
the movement. 1t construed at the Bourse
as foreshadowing the call of the continentto
arms. THERE'S no difficulty with Napoleon,
with regard to the universal wishes of the
French army and the people. France is
ready and is only waiting the tardy move
ments of her ally across the channel; SO
that, when the Cabinet of England begins
to move in the same direction with the
popular sentiment of England, France and
the United States, the barometer of the
Bourse gives warning of hurricane.
IL i
representative to the new conference of the
Great Powers at Vienna, amounts to little
or nothing, when he declares that the
evacuation of the Principalties, or guar
antee to that effect, is the sine quo non of
Turkey for a pacifcation. Nor are the
symptoms in Austria of an inclination to
side with the Gear favorable to peace
Nor is the dubious attitude to Prussia
satisfactory. In fact, the prospect of a
war by England and France against
Russia must inevitably, at all hazards,
unite Austria with the cause of the Car
otherwise Austria is Immediately des-
troyed. AS it is, her position is vastly
more critical than that of Turkey. ...-
From the revolutionary element with
in the diversified Austrian dominions, she
will, perhaps, in any alliance, only escape
destruction in general contest from the sa~
wing Intervention of England and France
in the final treaty of peace.
The latest news from London, of the de-
preston in the Stock Exchange, goes
strongly to confirm the French interpre-
tations of the recall of Palmerston. In
word, from the courage of the. Sultan
the rath of ofNicholas, the warlike consisten-
cy of France, and the pressure of public
opinion, the British Cabinet are plucking
up for a continental war; Such is the So
luton of the news by the Baltic.-N T.

Anarchy and Arson.

Shall they triumph? This is the ques-
ton which the government must settle,
and that promptly.
The Erians had hoped '.to elicit sym
pathy and excite feeling by employing a
few yoman to mask their latest effort to de-
stroy and burn. 1t does not ''take''--it
deceives no one. All the papers East,
West and South notice the cowardly mean
ness of the act, and denounce it. One Of
them says:
'sThe Erie war was continued yesterday
by the rioters, who had the eowardly
meanness to send their wives and other
femining dependents to burn down the
Railroad bridges within the limits Of that
borough, and SO escape the apprehended
legal penalty of Arson, by hiding behind
female garments. And this new infamy,
be it remembered. like several preceding
it, has been committed not only in viola
ton of the natural rights of property, but
in express and fragrant di6ance of an in
junction of the U. S. Supreme Court..''

answer the question we have asked. A.

A Female Robinson Crusoe.

IN AAOpAhooAA SAuSOCs
The San Francisco Times gives a ro-
mantle account Of a female Robinson
Crusoe recently found on ST. Nicholas Is
land, the only inhabitant Of that lonely
spot The Indians who formerly inhab-
tied it had been induced by some mis-
sonaries to leave it in 1886. One Of the
Indian women, just on the point of depart
ure, missed her child who had she sup
posed wandered off. While engaged in
the search, the vessel which was to con-
vey her to another Island was blown off,
leaving her alone ON the Island.
About three months afterwards, it is
said, the schooner again touched at the
Island to bring her away, but she could
not be found. Since that time her foot
prints, have been occasionally seen on the
shore, and other indications met with,
showing that she still existed.
AT the beginning of the last month, an
American, by the name of George Me
dever, who is now and has long been a
resident of Santa Barbara, was engaged
in otter hunting off the coast, and touched
at San Nicholas. While travelling along
the beech, to his great astonishment, he
suddenly came upon this woman. She
was engaged in cleaning or curing bird
skins, which she sewed to serve as a COW
ering, and in a garment of which she
was then dressed. She did not manifest
much surprise at seeing Mr.. Niedever,
but readily assented to his proposition to
leave the Island, and accompany him to
his schooner She Immediately set about
making preparations for. her departure,
and having packed up several bundles Of
bird shins and other "fxings" which she
had serviceable in San Nicholas, she bade
adieu forever to the land where, for SC
long a time, she might have soliloquized
with poetic truth
am monarch OF all l. survey.
She is now living with the family oi
Mr.. George Niedever, in Santa Barbara,
where she has all her wants administered
to-. She is about 60 years old, and is as
simple as child, and quite free from
deception and guile. One of the rever-
end clergymen of the Mission of Santa
Barbara, accompanied by the writer, went
to see her as soon as he heard of her ar
rival. He brought with him one of the
Mission Indians, who could speak the Ian
guage of one or two tribes of the Califor-
MIA Indians. She was greatly delighted
to see this Indian, but neither of them
could understand word of what the 9TH
er said. She has distinct articulation fol
almost every object she saw, but no one
understands her unless when she uses signs
and gestures. She is very contented, and
takes great delight in showing to her visi
tors, as well as she can, how she dug the
roots, caught the fish, manufactured hel
garments, and provided generally for hel
sustenance.
She signifies that she is much better
pleased with her present mode of life thar
she led on the Island
She takes great delight in looking a
horses and cows, having probably never
seen such large animals before. On ont
occasion she caught hold of horse BY
the tail, and had it not been that Mr.. Nj
edever called her away, she might proba
| bly, have suffered severity for her ignor
ance.
