"Orgarita.o


Beautiful child of the West, why did
fate separate thee from thy glorious home,
thy wild retreat; why deprive thee of the
sweet lessons taught by nature, that great
parent, whose mighty and majestic works
were impressed on thy simple mind, and
their precepts stored within thy pure,
unsullied heart! Oh, thou child of ma
ture, lovely in thy artless simplicity, free
to pass thy harmless hours, gay as the
birds that rcvcl in the grove and sing the
morning up. With spirits light, rosy
check, keen eye and flowing hair; why
with these, could'st thou not have escaped
the dread evils of the modern Baby
lon?
Return to thy Wingcnund; he mourns
thee by the rivers side, whose mirror'd
surface reflects but oneimage and that sad
one--so sad. Mourn not, Wingenund, for
thy last wild flower; for she has gone
from thee forever, she is not of thy race,
the pale face calls her sister, daughter;
and destiny DEGREES that she shall avenge
the wrongs--thc cruel murder of her
parents, and fulfill mothers prayer by
preserving her lov'd ones from the abyss
that threatens, and the wicked men who
kill" Therefore, Oh Wingcnund, grieve
ot;but let thy pleading to the Great Spir-
it be for Orgarita's victory, and Orgarita's
happiness.

THE New DOME OF THE CAPITOL AT
WAsHINGToN.-Thc work upon the new
dome is going forward quite rapidly. The
wall has been filled up between the heavy
cast-iron brackets to the top, and some of
the plinths forming the base of the heavy
iron columns have been fitted in place
ready to receive the columns. The i'm
mense pilasters have begun to arrive at
the works from the mandatory, and pre-
parations are being made to commence
putting them up by the first ofnext week.
AS fast as they go up the columns will
follow, and before the season closes there
will be a sufficient number of them up to
give the spectator an idea of the grand
proportions Of the dome when it is COM
pleted. The drawings for the first sec
ton are about completed. and will furnish
a sufficient amount of work to occupy
the hands through the next entire working
season. 1t is expected that the drawings
will go into the hands of the founders
some time next week. The wall on which
rests the massive weight of iron compos-
ing the dome is laid in hydraulic cement,
which, when dried, becomes as hard as the
brick itself, and between every other
course of brick lock strips fshcet-iron are
laid in the wall and Tapped at the ends, to
prevent any possibility of the work crack
ing or spreading apart. 1t is estimated
that, when the iron work is all put up,
the weight which will rest on the wall
will be one hundred pounds to the square
inch-scarcely a 1.-THE of what it is capa-
bic of bearing. The corridors to connect
the wings with the main building are be-
ing erected with all convenient despatch.
The second story of the walls is more than
one half erected, and the marble workers
are called into active rcquisition to trim
and place the blocks in their appropriate
places Wash. Union.

We notice that some of our cotcmpora-
ries are most savagely "down on" the In
dian Chief, NENA SAHIB, taking their cue
from the London Spectator, and other
British journals. All kinds of refined
fortunes, inquisitorial torrents and
prolonged agonies are suggested as meet
to be inflicted upon this horrible mon
ster, in the event of his capture. 1t is
proposed, finally, as the most exquisite
mode of punishment, to cage this per-

OF the virtuously indignant eyes of the

since-and maybe he might be prevailed
upon, in spite of his expressed disgust at
the vocation of a Snowman, to undertake
the exhibition of Mr.. SAnIB. Perhaps
after all, this Indian scoundrel is no

Revenue of Governmental The
Tariff, &C.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12tb.-The Secrc-
tary of the Treasury does not anticipate
that the revenue for the fiscal year ending
the 30th of June next will amount to
more than thirty millions, from present
appearances. This will not be subject
of regret to the administration, as an
empty treasury will be strong argument
in favor of economical legislation, and do
away in great measure with that lavish
system of appropriation which was SO
well harvested by Weed, Matteson, Ed
wards & Co. last Congress.
1t is highly probable the President will
call the attention of Congress to the neccs-
sity of so amending the tariff,as to render
its operation more equable on the COM
munity, and at the same time incidentally
encourage our industrial pursuits. Many
Of the articles on the free list might ad-
vantageously be transferred to the duty
paying schedules, whilst some of the du-
table articles should be placed on the
free list. Mr.. Cobb is gathering volum-
nous statistics on these points, and his re-
port to Congress will be one of the most
valuable which ever emanatcd from the
Treasury Department.
SECOND DISPATCH.
WAsHINGToN, Oct. 13.-Ihe Board of
officers appointed to test certain firearms
say in their report to the Secretary Of war
recently received. that after full and
careful consideration of all those tried.
they are of the unanimous opinion
that the brcech loading rifle submitted by
General Burnside, Of Rhode Island, is the
best suited to the military SERVICE. las the
brcech loading arm is thought to be sim
pie and strong in all its parts and less
liable to get out of order than any other.
In expressing this opinion they do not
wish to be understood as disparagng the
merits of the other guns, for they consider
that some Of thcm possess much merit and
evincc much ingenuity in their construc-
ton. They feel it a duty to state that
they have seen nothing in these trials to
lead them to think that q brccch loading
arm has yet been invented which is suited
to replace the muzzle loading gun for fort
troops.
On the contrary they have seen much
to impress them with unfavorably as to
the use of breech loading arms for general
military purposes. Although the board
was ordered to give an opinion upon rifles
alone, yet the attention of the members
was called to Colts revolving pistols fit
ted upon Il movable rifle stock.
1t performed so well that they recon-
mendcd it to the Secretary of War as a
very superior arm for the mounted scr
vice, and suggest that a Board of Dra--
COON officers thoroughly test it. Nine
teen different patterns of arms were tested
by the Board.

JACK CADE IN CoURT.-In The United
States Circuit Court at Philadelphia, ON
Saturday last, Edwin Forrest made an
application to restrain The lessee and man
ager of the Arch street theatre from pro-
ducing upon the boards Of that theatre

ant averred that said play was written by
the Hon. r 7 Conrad, aud by him assign
ed to Mr.. Forrest for full and valuable
consideration. That, under the Act of
Congress of 9Th August, 1856, he filed
copy of said play in the Office of the
Clerk Of the U. S. Court on the 9th of
November, 1856, and has since enjoyed
the exclusive use of said play, and has
never in any manner, parted with the
same. The respondents were given until
Monday ~ answer the bill.

A BALL IN THE BREAsT.-In North
ampton, Mass, on Thursday evening,
Mrs. Berry wife of Alexander Berry,
was sitting at the table sewing, and Mr..
Berry was at the same time working over
loaded pistol, endeavoring to extract a
ball from it, when it suddenly exploded,
sending the ball through the right breast
of Mrs. Berry, and through to the left
shoulder blade, where it lodged and still
remains. The woman was living at last
accounts, though but little hope is enter
tanned that she can recover.

The News.

The entire amount of United States
stocks of the loans of 1912, 1S47 and 1913
redeemed thus far at the Treasury, is a.
bout $3,000,000. Only about half
million dollars more can be legally applied
to this purpose.
We notice several more Bank failures
and suspensions.
The Richmond Custom House was en-
tered on Monday night and robbed of
$20,700in gold.
The market for brcadstuf1s in New York
yesterday was dull, and provisions gene
rally had declining tendency.
Up to two o'clock on yesterday after
noon fifteen New York City banks had
suspended.
The hot squabbles between the Met
ropolitan and Municipal Police, in New
York City, seem to be interminablc, and
complicated in confusion worse confoun-

A bold thief robbed lady the other
day, in Chatham street, New York, of
SLOAN hard currency, on the pretence of
a drunken impulse of affection which
prompted him to clasp her about the
waist.
The Bowery Savings Bank, New York,
received on Monday 1907 900 for redeem
ed government securities, and may conse-
quently be looked upon as standing pretty

One of the most distressing results of
the stringency in business is in the great
reduction of the number of hands employ
ed in manufacturing and other establish
ments throughout the country. Single
concerns are daily discharging hundreds
of their employees, while others are sus-
pending operations altogether.

Tho Medical Journal declares it to bea
dangerous habit to lie with the head bols-
tered up at night, in sleeping. The YES
sells through which the blood passes from
the head to the heart are always lessened
in their cavities when the head is resting
in bed higher than tho body; therefore, in
all diseases attended with fever, the head
should be pretty nearly on a level with
the body, and people ought to accustom
themselves to sleep thus to avoid danger.

CROMWELL was tritle cruel in his Irish
campaign. NAPOLEON, too, we think,
occasionally manifested little inhumani-
ty. Give either of these gentlemen the cd
ucation and religious culture, under
whose malign and gloomy influences SA-
HIB was reared-tcac him reckless faith
in Fate, indoctrnatc him in the most cX-
travagant fidelity to the traditions and St
persttions of the Indian race and we sub
nit whether he would not very likely @
as bad, when hard pushed as this wicked
man is seen to be. For our part, VIC look
upon SAHIB more as the monstrous pho
nomenon of system, than as a rascal on
lis own hook-whose barbarty is all vol
untary and individual, and for which he
is alone responsible.
