But these deeds were unknown in,the
fort; and whilst all agreed that Lieut..
Wilmer was the most successful and re-
liable scout belonging to the command,
none knew whether or not he was brave,
because none had seen him tried. Tn
horsemanship, he was unrivalled, and in
the use Of the rife, had no equal in the
company to which he belonged, and Of
which Fritz was the Captain, Yet, as be-
fore stated, he was unpopular some ascrib-
ing his reserve to overwecning vanity,
some to cold fnisanthropy, and others,
again, to remorse for some crime, the re-
membrance of which was perpetual tor
ture. But he had one fast friend in Mai.
Dade, who defended him on all occasions,
and, to some extent, held in check the
malignity of Fritz and the malice Of his
partizans. I1.d .1i -
Onhis return from New Orleans, whittier
he had been sent on recruiting service.
Wilmer found no change in the current of
feeling towards him; though the General
took occasion, publicly, to compliment
him upon his zeal and Judgment as re-
cruiting officer--for never had his ranks
been swelled by the addition of set Of
men whose physical conformation and out
ward department promised more for the
service. This tribute frem the General,
and the smile which Ida gave him were
sufficient reward, and he betook himself to
his duties with a calmness of demeanor,
Calling to those who vainly imagined that
their good or ill-will was matter of
moment to him. g-ilE Samoa aaf
But events were in progress which, at
no distant day, dissolved his connection
with the fort, and sent him forth, shorn
of his. commission in the army, and if not
friendlcss, at least alone. aina

CHAPTER II.

On the following morning, Ida was a
good deal surprised when Maj. Dade
presented himself, and, with his usual
cheerful composurc, reminded her of their
agreement to take a ride together. She
blushed and stammered, not knowing what
to say; but sign from her father reas-
sured her, and holding out her hand to
the Major, he led her forth, seated her in
the saddle, took his place beside her, and
their mettlod steeds bore them proudly
over the beautiful prairie. For short
time, nothing was said by either, and Ida's
embarrassment was becoming really pain
full, when her companion resolved upon an
effort to relieve her.
"Ida," he said, "the embarrassment un,
der which you labor is of my causing, and ]

A GREAT PARK IN NEW YoRK.--The
Central Park of New York promises to be
n grand affair. The whole amount allowed
by the Legislature to be expended in lay
ing it out is 81 100000 1t will contain
no acres, 150 of which will be set apart for
Croton reservoir, in anticipation of the
rapid growth of the city, and the consc-
quent necessity for an inexhaustible sup
ply of water. The commissioners have aI-
ready decided that there shall be four or
more crossing from east to west across the
park; that it shall contain parade ground
of from twenty to forty acres, three play
grounds of from three to ten acres each, a
hall for exhibitions and concerts, an obser-
vatory, a skating ground, and an indefinite
number of fountains, towers, entrances, ar
chcs, statuary and flower gardens, One
thousand one hundred and twenty men are
engaged in breaking stone and laying the
stone wall that is TO enclose the grounds.
This wall is to be about six feet in hight,
built of rough stone, but very evenly laid,
and is principally intended to keep cattle
from entering the park. A considerable
portion of it is already constructed. II is
estimated that the park will bo entirely
laid out and in every way complete for the
use of the public in three years, but its
value will, of course, increase with time.

meet and cross each other without distur-
bance or irregularity, so that in many
cases the answer to dispatch begins TO be
received before the original has been wholly
transmitted, although but one wire is en-
ployed to perform the double duty. The
instruments are now completed, and
adapted for practical use. For communi-
eating in either direction, but two ordinary
cells of the Grove battery are used and
although the wires arc worked both ways
the same time, the business is executed
with the usual rapidity. But one operator
is required TO receive and deliver dis patches
by this process, for, as regards dis patches
received, il is only necessary TO cut off the
slip, when completed. Il.
The printing done during the exhibition
Yesterday, while the wires were working
between New York and philadelphia, was
noticeable for its accuracy and clearuess.
The type is arranged on the periphery of

MExIcO.-Eyerything is out of joint il
this unhappy country-busines at stand,
the national debt, already enormous, inds.
tinitely increasing, two or three parties
lighting for the government, open rebellion
threatened in some quarters, the Indians re-
storing primitive savageness in others, and
robbery and murder rife everywhere. To
reOapitulate the order Of main events: when
Comonfori abdicated, the provisions of the
Constitution made Juarez President But
Zuloaga, who had been Comonfort's right
hand man, secured the support of the eccle-
siastics, and, with true Mexican's con-
tempt Of constitutions, proceeded 10 grasp
at the reins Of government He has been
nearly successful. But his chief general,
Osollo, is now playing the same game to-
wards him which he played to Comonfort,
being an aspirant for the place Of chief
ruler Besides, the important States OF
Vera Cruz and Tampico still hold ont
against the ZuloagH interest, while the vet
Gran Alvarez in the South, aud Vidauri in
the North, are in open rebellion. Jnarez
has given up the contest, and, it is said, is
on the poiut Of embarking for San Fran
cisco, but many Of bis adherents will join
some Of the insurrectionary movements. If
It were in any other country, we should say
that Zuloaga, having at his command the
money and support Of the priesthood, is
likely to sustain himself; but in Mexico, the
sudden change Of any dynasty is the rule,
and stability the exception. In the mean
time Santa Anna is plotting for return to
the scene of his former glories, aud certain
other parties are plotting for the annexa-
tion Of the upper part Of Mexico to this
country. Finally, Senator Houston has
now brought up the question Of a protector
rate on the part of our government over
Mexico, or a portion of IT, This will be a
novel subject in our politics, and possibly
fruitful in vast consequences.

RUSSIAN TELEGRAPH TO AMERIoA-The
st. Petersburg accounts up to the 25th
March mention that among other schemes
now projected, there is a grand line of tele-
graph between Russia and North America.
The plan is to lay the wire through Siberia,
thence under water from the northeastern
point of Asia to the coast of the Russian
Possessions on the American continent, and
finally to be then Joined to the wires of the
United States. Although this gigantic
undertaking, when mentioned, may lead
many persons to look upon the matter with
astonshment and to consider the project
as belonging to the fabulous, yet its execu-
ton, after all, may not be doubted as pos
sible, when the vast improvements and in
ventions Of recent times are duly consider

MORE Reform IN RUssIA.-The 81. Pc
tsrsbUrgh Gazette, of the 9th March, con-
tains proposition for the introduction Of
the new style in the Russian Almanac
When the Julian calendar was changed by
Pope Gregory, ten days were added; the
English, however, did not adopt tho Gre
gorian style until 1852, when it was found
necessary to add eleven days to the current
date. The Russians having retained the
Julian calendar, now find themselves twelve
days out of time Instead Of rectifying
this error by dropping at once the requisite
number of days, it is proposed to effect a
gradual reform by emitting the additional
days in the next fourteen leap years, which
by the year 1919, would make the Russian
Calendar correspond with the Gregorian.

CAKED UDDER.-A gentleman Of this
neighborhood gave Us, a few days since, a
statement in regard to the cure Of one Of
his cows, which is well worthy of record
He said the COW came home from the pas
ture with her bag swollen and very hard,
in such pain that she would not allow any
one to touch it, but gave every evidence Of
being in the most excruciating agony. She
was held, and her udder bathed with cold
water for some time without producing any
effect, and other usual applications were
resorted to finally, knowing the tincturs
Of arnica iu allaying pain with the human
subject, be bought some and applied lit
tie Of it to the bag. The COW ceased
struggling, and almost Immediately gave
evident manifestation Of pleasure, allowing
the swollen and hard mass to be rubbed
and kneaded. After another application
Of the arnica, and again rubbing, a COM
plete cure was effected. In a few days
she rsgained her milk, and is now in as
good condition as before Country Gen
