A Story Of Female IIeroism.

I In q recent speech in Congress
made by the Hon. Joseph Lane, q
Oregon, he related the following in
cident, which occurred in the India,

! While in Oregon, last Summer.
took occesion to inquire Of the chief
who was mainly instrumental in yet
ting up this wnr, to learn the par
Iticulars Of the late of some of on,
people who disappeared in the wa,
OF 1858. and oil whom we hal beer
able to learn nothing.
When suggested to the agent O
the council that | proposed to inonir,
into the fate OF Mrs. Wagner, Mrs
Haynes, and others, he was inclined
to think it would raise the bitter
reelings Df the Indians, but said ,hn,
we could make the inquiry. | told
him that had passed through IN,
country where these people had
lived, and that their friends wer,
very anxious to learn their fate
We inquired in relation to Mrs.
Wagner, who WAS a well educated
and handsome woman from New
York, who had livoI long in the
country and spoke the Indian tongue
iluently.
Sue kept a public house by the
road side, and the good cheer which
sine always furnished m mldc it place

packers, a portion Of whom they
murdered, destroying the wagons
and cargoes, as well "a The animals,
while she was standing at the door.
After they had murdered the peo
pie outside, they came towards the
house, which was strongly built of
hewn logs, and had heavy door.
which fastened with cross bars
When she saw them running to-
wards the house, she shut the door,
and dropped the bars to prevent their
coming in. They came to the door,
aud ordered her t. come out. and
bring her little girl. She said ''no."
Her husband Was absent--and, by
the way. he was the only man on
that road who escaped. They said
it she did not come out they would
shoot her. She declined, and after
some dcliberation, they determined
to set the house on fire. The house
was directly envelopel in flames;
and the chief, who watched her
through little window, told us that
he saw her go to the glass and ar

Aristocracy in Havana.

Aris,ocracy. as the tern is under
stood here, is one OF the things which
[ consider most difficult to explain.
II it is defined rs proceeding from
old inherited nobility, | could cite
many Instances oi people who are
generally considered rs belonging to
the Havana aristocracy, who on the
other hand, are designated by pub.
lie opinion as having sprung from
humble ancestors; 80 humble indeed
that even mulattoes are counted
among them; while the right OF
ranking with the aristocracy is de
MED to some who are descendants
from illustrious parents, and who
possess the true nomenclature OF no.

The same might be said in regard
to riches. Many poor families have
such exalted ideas, that they will not
hesitate to invite to their parties all
those persons who. on account OF
their birth, can contribute to i've

strenuously refuse to admit wealthy

they be not considered Of u noble

The aristocracy OF science, | be-
r lieve, has never existed, nor are any

. established; and as to that virtue
INV friends think that it will be al
most impossible to form it. One OF
r the most powerful reasons they al
