A HAPPY Conclusion.--The San Francisco
Golden Era, in refusing to commence manu-
script story until the whole Of it had been re-
ceived, gets off the following illustration of the
danger Of doing So
Some years ago, Cincinnati paper received
and printed the first chapter of what promised
to be a most thrilling romance, in the expecta-
ton of being provided with the concluding por-
tons as they might be needed. The chapter
was very ingeniously written, and concluded by
leaving the principal character suspended by
the pantaloons from the limb of a tree over a
precipce. 1t attracted the attention OF the
press, and inquiries began to be made concern
ing the continuation of the story and the fate
OF It's hero. Day after day the victimized pub
fishers looked for the remaining chapters, but
in vain; they never came 10 hand. Finding
that they had been sold, and wishing to put a
stop to the jokes their contemporaries were crack
ing at their expense, they briefly concluded the
story thus
Char. II--CoNCLUsIoN.
After hanging to the treacherous tree for four
weeks, his pan,aloons gave way, and Charles
Melville rolled headlong over the yawning
preciplce. He fell distance of five miles and
came down with the small Of his back across
a stake-and-rider fence, which so Jared him
that he was compelled to travel in Italy for his
health, where he is a, present residing. He is
engaged in the bu,chering business. and is the
father of a large family of fat children.

among the fancy. Ills first attempt came oTycs-

with friend when Emerson came up and struck
him blow in the face. Mr.. Owens being taken
by surprise did not perceive him in time to ward
off the blow, but as soon as he prepared to de-
fend himself, the coward made tracks. This man
Emerson is a fine specimen to represent the pco-

TRUru STRANGER THAN FlcrIoN.-We find in the
Sentinel, published at Maquoketa, Iowa, the de-
tails of singular affair, and while we do not
vouch for its accuracy, we give it substantially as
it is given in that paper. Some six years ago,
Mrs. Teeple, wife of Luther Teeple, in company
with her little daughter, some eight or nine years
old, left jackson county, Iowa, for the purpose
of visiting her relatives in Can"da. Arriving in
Chicago, the daughter lost sight Of her mother,
accustomed probably by the many Ito her) new
sights to be seen. The mother Immediately upon
missing her, retraced her steps, but no daughter
could be found. Streets perambulated.
houses searched, police called out, and every in
quiry and search instituted that was thought nee
essary to find the lost daughter, but no child
could be found.
She immediately wrote to her husband, Mr..
Teeple, notifying Of her loss, and continued her
journey to Canada. MIR. Teeple, as we under
stand it, Immediately repaired to Chicago, made
a most thorough search, advertised her as lost,
but still no daughter could be found.
\ short time since, Mr.. Teeple's family were
much surprised by bright eyed boy appearing at
the door and calling MIR. Teeple ''father." He,
much surprised inquired into the matter, and it
proved to be his long lost daughter, who had as
suned this disguise for the purpose Of effecting
her escape from family with whom she was
bound by the trustees of the House Of Refuge.
1t appears from the daug hter's story of her
separation, that as soon as she missed her moth
er, she hurried along through the streets, expect
ing to ovcrtake her, but in vain. She pass
ed through number of streets, but all her eff
forts to find her mother, proved of no avail. FL
nally evening came on, and the little girl was
taken by policeman to the asylum for orphans,
where, after remaining nearly three years, she
was by the trustees bound to a family as above
mentioned, where she remained until few noble
hearted women of Chicago, becoming interested
in her behalf, determined upon restoring her to
her friends.
When Intercepted, she could remember Belle
vue, and that her father and uncle lived within a
days drive. Upon learning these facts, these no.
bic minded women concluded at once to DIRE her
in male attire, furnish her the necessary means,
and send her at once to Bellevue. She inquired of
Judge Spur, who at once provided her with a
cow, vance and returned her TO the arms of her
long lost parents. Vino will pretend to say that
''trnth isis not stranger than felton," for here
we have it fully exemplifed.
There, our readers have the story mainly as
we found it--some parts are little Apocryphal
especially the male attire, and the posting off
alone like Japeet, Sin search of afathcr."

The BIBLE IN NEWSPAPER FoRM.-A meeting
was held in New York few days since to con-
slider the expediency of printing the Bible in news
paper form. Mr.. Solomon Jenner presided, and
addresses were made by number of clergymen.
1t is proposed to print portions Of the Scriptures
in newspaper form, for gratutious circulation
among the lowest and poorest classes. 1t is
hoped that by this means, many persons who
would otherwise never read the Scriptures may
be brought to a knowledge of their truths. Meas
ures are being taken to raise fund to defray
the expenses Of the movement.

FIGHTING THE lNDIA>s.-The Providence Jour
nal speaking of the Indian war in Oregon and
Washington Territories says $50 far as we can
judge, the course taken by Gen. Wool has been
prudent and humane, and it would be more ju-
dicious to send out IL force to put down those
settlers who are exciting the Indians to hostili-
ties, than to attempt to exterminate the Indians
themselves. An Indian war is enormously prof
liable to a border region, and among the rude
men who gather in those remote countries the
temptation to get one up is very strong. Their
representations should be listened to with great
caution, and every illegal act which they commit
with the view Of exciting war should be severe
ly punished. The sum appropriated by Congress
to put down this war amounts to about 50, 900 a
head for the Indians engaged in it. One hundred
dollars head, expended in blankets and pres
entS, and with kind treatment and forbearance,
would make them the fast friends of the whites

To show the honesty (O of the Free Soil

To show the baseness, wickedness and fa..

state that MIR. Whitfield, the delegate from
Kansas, instead of leading company Of
Border Rutiians," and getting into dithcu
ty with Col Sumner and the I. ). troops
was vending his way to Washington, and
when lying telegraph reports got there I"
his doings in Kansas, he was quietly sitting
in his seat on he floor of Congress. The
Washington Star, in alludiDg to this affair
says:
Col Whitfield the delegate from Kansas,
has returned to Washington, and appeared
in his seat in the house to.day. While there
he was electrified by learning that he, N

ENGLIsH AND American ADVERTISING In
the olico Of the London Times there is a sort
OF map which gives graphic representation
OF the fluctuations in the circulation of that
journal. 1t is like the sectional nrofles of
our railroads and canals-an increasing cir
culation being indicated by rise in the sur
fece line, while a falling of in the circulation
is represented by n depression. During the
year lsi5, the circulation the Times aver
aged only $4,000, and it began the year s4-
with an edition OF no more than 90 600. The
excitement consequent on the revolution Of
February raised it n; once to 43 900. Itiell
