How TO PRESERVE BoUoUEr-Wh hen
you receive boquet sprinkle it lightly
with fresh water; then put it into vessel
containing some soap suds; this will nutri-
fy the roots and keep the flowers as bright
as new. Take the bouquet out of the suds
every morning and lay it sidewise (the
stock entering frst) into clean water,
keep it there minute or two, then take
it out and sprinkle the flowers lightly by
the hand with water; replace it in the
soap suds, and it will bloom as fresh as
when first gathered The soap suds need
changing every three or four days By
observing these rules,a bouquet can be kept
bright and beautiful for at least month,
and will last still longer in very passa-
Bile state; but attention to the fair but
frail creatures, as directed above, must be
very strictly observed, or all will perish.

DOUBLE SUICIDE AND MURDER.-The
New York papers tell singular sto-
~ Of beauty, love and death It appears
that two beautiful sisters-Cecillia and
Wanda Stcin-daughters of beautiful
woman who had been seduced BY Polish
Prince, In Berlin-were given over to
Cavaignac's Secretary of Legation at the
Prussian capitol, and by him kept until
the coup d. etat of Napoleon. They then.
came to New York with young son Of
Wanda, where they earned their subsis-
tence principally by lace work Among
their work was the beautiful white en-
broidered shawl exhibited at the Crystal
Palace in '53, by Broadway houso, They
W re accomplished, and spoke German,
Polish and French, and were learning
English. Sorrow came. They were de-
prlved of work, and were threatened with
being turned out of doors, The non-ap-
pearance of the family around the build
ing in which they resided in the Bowery,
for several days, induced the officer 10
break open the door Of their room iB.
On opening the door of their sleeping
chamber the dead bodies of all three Of
the persons were found. Wanda, the
younger sister, lay on her bed, her face
covered with blood, cast up from the ex-l
cess of agony experienced in dying, while
beside and near to the wall was her son,
aged six years, also dead Cecilia Stein
was lying on the floor, with her face to
the carpet, and with a fallen chair upon her
body she appearing to have cast herself
about in her agony, and thus to have fal-
zen off the bed, upsetting the chair Two
empty phials, which lately held Prussio
acid, and two tea-cups were found near
the deathbed on the floor. "a
Cecillia's age was SO !; Wanda's %. Ed
ward was the illegitimatc son of Wanda,
by the French Secretary.

IN NDiAN FIGHT AT COW CREEK CANoN-lS
WHITE MEN KILLED, AND 25 WOUNDED!
-40O SOLDIERS AND VOLUNTEERS COM
PELLED TO RETREAT! 1a 1c
Capt. Pierce communicated the start
ling intelligence this morning of a pitch
battle having been fought at Cow Creek
Canon, Rogue River Valley, on Wednes
day last, between about 800 Indians and
400 regulars and volunteers, under Capt.
Smith, U. S. A, of Fort Lane. The fight
commenced at ! o'clock, P. M, and con-
tinued till l0-the Indians retreating all
tho while, and firing back upon the whites
At length it was deemed necessary that
steps be taken to provide for the wounded,
and halt was ordered, when the Indians
rallied and commenced firing upon the
men, to whom prudence dictated the
course OF retiring to an open space where
more effectual stand could be made,
which thoy accordingly did. 1t was then
ascertained that s of tie Captains men
had been killed, and 25 wounded-some
mortally, others dangerously, and few
slightly. A message was then dispatched
to Captain George, at Althouse, who start
ed Immediately with so volunteer recruits.
He would join Capt Smith on Thursday,
at an early hour, when it is expected that
a renewal OF the encounter will take place.
Capt. Smith is highly spoken of by both
the citizens and volunteers. under his com
mand. The course pursued by him, the
determination and zeal manifested, have
called forth the enconiums of all-and it
is iss-idtheiepolness manifested by him up
on this particular occasion elected the i'd
miration of all present
On Thursday lasta scouting party of
six returned with intelligence that about
$50 Indians were in the vicinity of the
heads of Antelope and Butte creeks
Capt. Thomas Smith, with about 90 men,
immediately started out, and it is feared
that serious encounter would take place.
The attack, it was expected, would be
made on Saturday or Sunday last. News
of the result is hourly expected.
