The Wild Woman.

The Cincinnati Commercial gives an account
of o visit to the " Wild Woman of the Wachita
Mountains" now in that city, and kept pris-
oner at the United States hotel. She is tall,
gracefully formed young white girl, and at the
time was standing with a stout rope about her
waist, and attached to bed post. Her appear
ance at first was quite maniacal, but the express
sion of her countenance subsequently softened.
The Commercial says:
"She stood at the foot of the bed partially
hiding behind it, and rocking slowly but with
nervous uneasiness, from one foot to the other,
and staring fxedly upon us with great bright
unwinking eyes, so widely opened that ring of
white surrounded the pupil, which with the
wild and intense glare Of the orb gave it a
strange and frightful expression. Beneath the
eyes were deep circles, showing long continued
and excessive excitement or exertion, mental OF
physical
Her hair was long and thick, hanging in heavy
matted masses and wiry tangles about her face,
neck and shoulders, and in color dark brown
Her complexion was fair, even delicate, and hei
features ecidedly handsome. Her mouth il
small and finely formed her lips thin and red
but tightly compressed and her teeth even and
white. But there was not, as we could discov
er, any trace Of humor in her face, and we wers
informed by her captor that he had never seer
her smile'
She does not talk The only sign she make
with her mouth is mumbling, moaning groan
! ing, with which, when hungry or thirsty. sb

The enormous revenue is kept up to increase
patronage, to purchase worthless land from
Mexico, to corrupt presses, to reward parti-

up armies and navies, and to fight foreign ma

-Four years ago the pledge was made the

The time has been lost in making useless
and costly surveys for two outside roads-one

millions were given for one slice; it was
found to be worthless, and beside, would moi

In the mean time the plain, direct national cen

to remark how we'll these ladies justified the
preference eff the distinguished individuals who

be hardly extravagant to say. they were respcc-

Adams in particular who, from the elevated
position in which her husband was placed before
the world, was brought before the public eye
was supposed to hold tho same elevated rank
with the gentle sex that Mr.. Adams did among
men, and she is reported to have rendered her
husband much assistance in his multiplied la
bors of the pen.

tlmldity in her looks. Her brow and temples
indicate superior mental capacity.
MIR. Northcott, her custodian, tells roman
tic story about the capture of the woman among
the Wachita Mountains, about three hundred
miles from the frontier of Texas, in the Ca
manche country, by party of gold hunters, of
whom he was one, in the spring of 1855. She
lived in cave, and subsisted on wild fruits and
berries, and was captured with lasso. Mr.. N.
says his object is to civilize her.

BE- A Minnesota correspondent gives the
New York Herald some details regarding the
proposed buffalo hunt and expedition to the
salt springs of that Territory. The region in
which these springs are found lies between the
47th and 49th degrees north latitude, and 9th
and 99th degrees west longitude. Our first in
formation regarding it was derived from q
soldier in the expedition sent out to explore 1t
from Fort Smelling, by Major Long, in 1922
and 1923. He says that they had been travel
ling several days over a vast rolling plain, with
no trees or water; the troops and horses were
almost famished with thirst, when they came
suddenly upon the shores of a beautiful lake
about half mile in diameter, sunk down in
the deep plain. 1t resembles a vast sink hole.
From height above the waters vast snow
bank appeared to line its shore; but upon
our examination it appeared to be an in
crustation Of salt as pure and white as
snow. The waters of the lake we're like the
strongest brine So strong was it that one
bathing in it, upon coming out, in few
minutes would be covered with white crysta-
lization of salt If this salt region be as it is
supposed to be, railroad projected into 1t
would prove the best stock in the country
There are mines of undeveloped wealth, more
extensive, more durable and more important
than all the gold regions beyond the Rocky
Mountains. A charter, granting excellent cor
porate privileges, has been obtained from the
Minnesota Legislature this winter, for the salt
company, which is already organized. Many
Of the members of this company will accom-.
pany the expedition, and add interest to the
buffalo hunt, in more fully exploring and in
vestigating these salt regions. TWAS the in
tention to commence this expedition on the
9th Of June. But as many from abroad who
are DESTROYS Of accompanying 1t, are delegates
to the Democratic Convention at Cincinnati, it
will be postponed until Immediately after the
adjournment Of that body, or until more def
mite letters as to their Intentions are received.

Mr.. Sumner, in late speech in the Senate,
likened Mr.. Douglas, of Illinois, to certain
nameless animal which emitted anoisome odor.
The United States Senate was once as dignied
and decorous body as the British House of
Lords. How has it fallenl Upon what times
have we come, when a, man can be elected
from sovereign State to seat in the United
States Senate, capable of employing language
in debate towards another Senator, such as was
used in Summers late extraordinary outpouring
of vulgar ribaldry and biilingsgate. No wonder
they proclaim abroad that the United States
are o nation Of ill-mannered and ill-tempered
vulgarians fast relapsing into barbarianism.
There was a time when Massachusetts was
represented in the Senate of the United States
by Daniel Websterl Think Of him, looming
up in intellectual and moral majesty, in that
great debate with Hayne, which closed with
those memorable words Liberty and Union |
Now and Forever One and Indssoluble ~

time and that man, and from those noble words,
