fornia are not in so intimate relations with
each other as Massachusetts, and New
York. AS in nature, the attraction Of
gravitation grows feebler the farther mat
ter is removed from the centre of attrac-
ton, SO in government it will hold true,
that the farther states are removed from
each other and the central power, the
weaker the bond which unites them
Again there are many ambitious Dema-
gouges who would srcrifce every thing
for personal advancement and political
fame. All that we need to overcome all
these dangers, is that the people rightly
understand the correct principles of gov
ernment and interest themselves in their
application to all the questions of the day,
that they watch closely the course of pub
lie men, that they form conclusions from
their own reasoning and knowledge, and
not depend upon the ipse dsrit of politi-
cal men. Then will our national growth be
healthy and sure, and in the years to
come uncounted millions will hail s'the

A Lesson for Wives.

The following touching, simple, sor-
rowful memorial of his wife, was written
by one of the great statesmen Of England
- Sir James Macintosh - in a private
letter to friend:
She was woman, who, by tender
management of my weaknesses, gradually
corrected the most pernicious of them
She became prudent from affection; and
though of the most generous nature, she
was taught frugality and economy by her
love for me- During the most critical pc
riod Of my life, she preserved order in my
affairs, from the care of which she relieved
me. She gently reclaimed me from dis
sipation, she propped my weak and irres-
olute nature, she urged my Incidence to
all the exertions that have been useful and
creditable to me, and she was perpetually
at hand to admonish my heedlessness and
improvidence. To her [ owe whatever |
am-to her whatever shall be. In her
solicitude for my interest," she never for a
moment forgot my chatacter. Her feel
ings were warm and impetuous, but she
was placable, tender and constant. Such
was she whom I have lost; and I have
lost her, when a knowledge of her worth
had refined my youthful love into friend
ship, before age had deprived it of much
of its original ardor. | seek relief and l
find it in the consolatory opinion that
benevolent wisdom inficts the chastise-
ment, as well as bestows the enjoyment of
human life; that this dreary and wretch
ed life is not the whole of man; that q
being capable Of such proficiency in sci
ence and virtue, is not like the beasts that
perish; that there is dwelling place pre-
pared for The spirits of the just; that the
ways of God will yet be indicated to
man,

Miss Gardner i'm st. Paul

The young girl, Miss Gardner, who was
carried away from Spirit Lake after the
massacre at that place and who, in com
pany with three other women, has been
for three months subjected to all the out
RACES and cruelties of savage life, and vic
TINS to the brutal instincts Of their perse-
cutors, has finally been ransomed and
brought to this city. Three peaceful
Yankton Indians, brought her down.
The Indians took the girl to the Goven-
or yesterday morning, at whose room they
convened at 10 o'clock, and formally deliv-
ereh Miss Gardner into his care, he receiv-
ing her on the part Of the whites. The
joyful transfer was accompanied with APP
propriate speeches on either side-that Of
the Indians being rendered into English
by an interpreter.
The burden of their remarks was de-
sire to cultivate amicable feelings with the
whites, and to be permitted to remain on
the reservations, and cultivate the arts of
peace and civilization.
They received the kindest and most
friendly treatment from Governor Medary,
who evinced desire to encourage their
well-doing, by thanking them for the in
terest they had taken in the ransom Of
Miss Gardner, and promising to protect
them in all sheir good deeds.
Gov. Nedary promised to tell the Great
Father at Washington of their courage
and their valuable services in rescuing the
suffering.
A beautiful Indian war cap was then
presented tosMiss Gardner by Major Elan
drau, in behalf of the Yanktons, and as
none but those who are uuited to war a.
gainst common foe, are allowed to wear
it, it was thus publicly presented as a sig
nifcant emblem of their confidence in the
pale faces, and as pledge that they
would join them for the determination of
the outlaws.
They also received $1,000 from the
Governor in the afternoon, as recon-
pense fer their time and trouble. The
odd guests caused much meraiment at
the Fuller House during the day, sitting
at the table and eating luxuries from a
civilized lardcr, and managing to finish
their meal in safety, though they handled
knife and fork with very bungling kind
Of grace.
Miss Gardner is only fifteen years Of
age, and betrays an experience Of suf-
fering i'll becoming her years. Her face
has cast of sadness and melancholy over
it, and well it might, for she is left in the
world worse than an orphan--her father
mother, brother-in-law, sister and rela-
tives having all fallen victims to the Spirit
Lake massacre. A subscription paper is
circulating in her behalf and none who
can will hesitate to give.-&. Paul Times

Important News.

The Cincinnati Gazette learns that u.
D authorities are preparing to arrest and
bring to trial all who took part in the
proceedings against the U. S. Deputy
Marshals in Greene County recently, and
they intend to spare no pains to demolish
the stations, tear up the rails, and remove
all traces of the underground railroad in
Ohio. All fugitive slave arrests are to be
conducted in perfect quietness hereafter,
and no man is to be allowed to speak
against slavery louder than whisper
1t is a good deal of work to Law out
for one season.

LAWYERS NEAREST THE FIRE.-Coun-
ty Court was sitting while ago in,
on the banks of the Connecticut. 1t was
not far from this time of the year-cold
weather anyhow-and knot of lawyers
had collected around the old Franklin in
the bar room The fire blazed, the mugs
Of flip were passing away without groan,
when in came a rough, gaunt looking
baby Of the woods, knapsack on shoulder
and staff in hand. He looked cold, and
hastily perambulated the circle that hem
med in the fire. as with a wall of brass,
looking for chance to warm bis shins.-
Nobody moved, however, and unable to
sit down, for lack of chair, he did the
next best thing-leaned against a wall,
with tears in his fist and eyes doubled
up" and listened to the discussion on the
proper way of serving reforce on a war
antee deed, as if he was the judge to de-
eide the matter.
Soon he attracted the attention of the
company, and young sprig spoke to
him
"You look like traveller"
"Well, [ s'pose am; [ come from
Wisconsin afoot, at any rate.
"From Wisconsin that's distance to
60 on one pair of legs. | say, did you
ever pass thro' hi in your travelss"
eyes, sir" he answered, a kind OF
wicked look stealing over his ugly physi-
ogony. 81 been through the outskirts"
Thought it likely. Well, what are
the manners and customs there? some of
us would like to know"
"Oh," says the pilgrim, deliberately,
halfshutting his eyes, and drawing round
the corner of his mouth till two rows OF
yellow stubs, with mass of masticated
pig-tail appeared though the slit is his
cheek, "you'll find them much the same as
in this regien-the lawyers sat highest
the fire."

A Word.

We believe it has been a custom with
printers from ''time immemorial," to omit
publishing a paper on the week of the
fourth of July. We dislike to conform to
this custom bnt have been disappointed
about our help, and necessity may force
lis to do what wo would not do from
choice. We assure our readers that if it
lies within the limits of possibility we
shall give them paper next week.
five do not, we trust they will be
charitable, and say, like the servant girl
when her mistress did not call her till
breakfast was ready; ''it IS jest as sOeH."

When the committee Of the French
Academy were employed in preparing a
well-known Academy Dictionary, Cur
vier, the celeprated naturalist came into
the room where they were holding sess-
ion.
"Glad to see you, Monsieuer Culver,
said one of the forty; 1--WE have just fin
shed definition which we think quite
satisfactory, but upon which we would
like to have your opinion. We have
been defining the word crab, and have OK
planned it thus: "Crab, small red fish,
which walks backwards
'Perfect, gentlemen" said Curvi' r
''only I will make one small observation
in natural history The crab is not fish
it is not red and it does not walk
backward! With these exceptions your
definition is excellent"

Honor, to whom Honor is Due

The presses of many of our cities have
lowered their dignity, and called forth
the just rebuke of the better portion of the
community, by the avidity which they
have shown, in Selling upon all the dis
gushing details of criminal trials; and
filling their columns with reports which
benefit no one, and are interesting main
ly to those who have a depraved appetite
for that kind of reading which excites and
pollutes the imagination. During the
trials of Mrs. Cunningham of New York
and Mr.. Kallock of Boston, the Daily pa
-pers of those cities, outdone the worst
class of French novels in indecency. But
there is one daily paper (perhaps more
that we know not of J which refuses thus
to disgrace itself. The St Paul Daily
Times, speaking of the trial of two men
for rape in that city, says; "We omit all
the testimony, as we do not care to CRAFTY
the taste of our readers who would be apt
to appreciate it, nor to insult the better
sense of those who would not" Again
we say ''honor to whom honor is due"
