Woman's Heroism.

In the course of recent speech in Congress
by the Hon. Joseph Lane of Oregon on the
payment of the Oregon and Washington
war debt, he related the following Incl
dent which occurred in the Indian war Of
Oregon
While in Oregon last summer, | took oc-
casion to inquire of the chief, who was mainly
instrumental in getting up this war, to learn
the particulars of the fate of some of our peo-
Pile who disappeared in that war of 1856, and
of whom we had been able to learn nothing.
when suggested to the agent, in the council,
that proposed to inquire the fate of Mrs Wag-
ner, Mrs Haynes, and others he was inclined
to think it would raise the bitter feelings of the
Indians, but said that we could make the in
quiry. / told him that had passed through
the country where those people had lived, and
that their friends were very anxious to learn
their fate We inquired in relation to Mrs.
Wagner, who was a well educated and hand
some woman from New York, who had lived
long in the country, and spoke the Indian
tongue fuently She kept a public house by
the roadside, and the good cheer which she al
ways furnished made it place where travellers
delighted to stop. The Indians informed us
the morning of the 9th of October they came
in sight of the house, where they met some
teamsters and packers, a portion of whom they
murdered, destroying the wagons and cargoes,
as well as the animals, while she was standing
in the door. As soon as they had murdered the
people out doors, they came towards the house,
which was strongly builtof hewn logs, and had
heavy door, which fastened with cross bars
when she saw them running towards the house,
she shut the door and dropped the bars to pre-
vent their breaking in. They came to the
door, and ordered her to come out, and bring
out her little girl She said No. Her hus-
band was absent--and by the way, he was the
only man on the road who escaped. They said
that if she did not come out they would shoot
her. She declined and after some deliberatlon,
they determined to set the house'on fire, The
house was directly enveloped in flames ; ana
the chief, who watched through little WIN
dow, told us that he saw her go to the glass
and arrange her hair, then take her seat IN the
middle of the room, fold her little girl in her
arms, and wait calmly until the root fell in,
and they persisted in the flames together And
the statement was confirmed by the people, who
found their remains lying together in the mid
die of the house.

for lodge in some vast wilderness,
Some boundless contguity of shade,
Where rumor of oppression and deceit,
Of unsuccessful or successful war;
Might never reach me more. e."-CoDper.
In the captivity Mameah was enduring, there
was one source of happiness, which, under
other circumstances, would have rendered her
stay with the Cayugas one of delight rather
than sorrow. She and her father had been
captured from the Cayugas, while at war, many
moons before, and while she was yet young /;
but she had traversed every little nook and re-
treat in gathering wild flowers, and now her
captivity afforded her an opportunity to renew
her acquaintance with them. She was neither
tall, like Laisowee, the Swan of the Cayugas,
who was her constant companion, nor the re-
verse but when she pleased, her voice could
charm the hearer and rival the nightingale, her
eye dllate in scorn or her heart melt in sadness,
as she boheld her condition, and thought of the
scenes of carnage and cruelty of which she was
the cause, and her mind reverted to the pros
pective happy home with the ardent young
Chief upon whose noble brow she had smiled,
and to whose manly grace she had trusted for
protection.
Laisowee used every endeavor to render her
happy, and together they padded the light
birch canoe over the silver lake IN quest of fish
and the pond lilly, or tarried along the shaded
shore beneath the overhanging vines to gather
garlands for their decorations. Together they
spcd the game in the thicket, and wove baskets
and strung their beads of porcupine qulls.-
But Mameah was sad amid all these scenes of
smusements. No employment, however busy,
could divert her thoughts from other SCENES
What would be her fate she knew not or
whether the young Chief of tho Oneidas should
bo successful, and again claim his bride; but
whatever it might be, she resolved to await
it not to abide the better, but to compel it and
resist the worse.
One morning, q number of suns after her CAP
ture, while she and her companion had wander
ed to the shore Of the lake, she said
"Mowegan's arrow may drink the blood of
the Oneida bride, but he can never share her
earess. "
"The smile of the Monodo is upon the sweet
| waters,' replied Lasowee, "and the Mohawk
will not dare to desturb it."
But as she ceased her remark they beheld

= Thomas Darlington Macaulay.

MT. Reah, the London correspondent of the
inverness Courier says:
There is common pedestrian of London
streets.WeH known to all who are acquainted
with their notabilities He is short, stout,
sturdy, energetic man. He has big round
lace, and large, staring and very bright hazel
eyes. His hair is cut short and his hat flung
back on the crown of his head His gait is firm
and decided, with little touch of pomposity
He is ever provided with an umbrella, which
he swings and fourishes, and batters on the
pavement with mighty thump. Heseems gen.
orally absorbed in exciting and mpulsive thought
the tracesof whici. he takes NO paine toconceal.
His face works, his lips move and mutter, his
eyes CLEAN and flash. Squat as is his figure,
and not particularly fine the features, there is
an unmistakeablo air of mental power and en-
ergy, approaching to grandeur, about the man
Lie is evidently under the influence of the strong
excitement OF fiery thought. People gaze Curl
ously at him, and stop to stare when he has
passed. But he hoeds no one-seems, indeed,
to have utterly forgotten that he is not alone in
his privacy and pushes on, unwitting OF the
many who stare and smile, and look with curios
ity and regard upon Thomas Babington Mac
aulay.
Occasionally, however, the historian and the
poet gives still freezer vent to the mental impul-
ses which appear to be continually working
within bin. A friend ofmine lately recognized
him dining in the coffee room of the Trafalgar
Hotel, at Greenwich fashionable white-bait
house, which, it appears he frequently patron
izes. He was alone, as he generally is, and the
attention of more than one of the company was
attracted, by his strange mutterings and fdget-
|iveness, and by the mute gestures with which
he ever and anon illustrrted his mental dream
ing. All at once--t must have been towards
the climax of the verse Or prose, which he was
working up in his mind-Mr. Macaulay seized
massive decanter, held it moment suspended
in the air, and dashed it down upon the table
with such hearty good will, that the solid crys-
tai flew about in fragments, while the nume-
rous parties dining round instlnctively started
up and stared at the curious inonoclast. Not
whit put out, however, Mr.. Maceulay, who was
well known to the walters, called loudly for
his bill to be made ont at the bar, and then
pulling, with couple of jerks, his hat and UNI
brela from the stand, clapped the one careless
ly on his head, and strobe out Aourishing the
other
