AN INCIDENT IN THE LIFE OF SoLDIER-The

place last week, was we'll attended. When
Company H., (now Cadwallader Greys, Capt.
Brseze,) left this city, for Mexico, Stokely, fail

of size alone, resolved TO accompany the volun-
teers at all events and being of an active, use
full disposition the company took him with them
During his absence, poor Stokely was found 9

service to all. An incident in the life of the do
ceased should not be forgotten. 1t is one which
goes far to show the character Of the American
volunteer. When the army had left Plan Del
Rie their eneampment previous to the battle Of
Cerro Gordo, "little Natty," as he was familiar
ly called, was left with many others. to guard
the camp, and see to the sick and wounded from
below. Word reached the camp that the Penn
sylvanla regiments had been cut to pieces, and
the men were dying from want Of water, the day
being intensely warm. Stokely, with spirit
and zeal scarcely ever excelled, seized upon the
"eanteens' belonging to the sick, filled them
with fresh water from the beautiful stream at
"Del Rio," and, throwing them on his shoulder
walked distance Of three miles to the field OF
bloody strife, with the view Of allaying the
thirst of his brother companions. His mission
was enc of mercy--it was received and hailed
with joy by those who participated in it. Such

largest in the United States. The animal was
very ferocious and had twice bitten his keeper
Early Wednesday morning last, the hyena ss-
capped Search was instantly made, and later
in the morning ho was discovered in the grave
yard, having dug up and partly devoured two
or three dead bodies. Several of the citizens
rushed in to take it, when it turned on its as

of the unfortunate man in its jaws. killing him
instantly. The brute then made its escape, az

SINGULAR SroRY.-The following, though
short is somewhat pithy, and its moral conveys
a capital lesson to the gentlemen who select
servant girls out of a large crowd:
On Saturday, 23d ult, Mrs. Mary S. Rich,
AGENT Of the "Women's Protective Emigration
Society. y arrived at the Western Depot, from
New York. in charge of between seventy and
eighty Young wOmen--some twenty-five or thir-
tv Of whom were intended for this place. Early
in the morning married man of this city went
n the depot and inquired for Mrs. Rich. The
married man told Mrs. Rich that he wanted
a GIRL to do housework. Mrs Rich told the
married man that she could supply him with a
girl to do housswork. Mrs Rich asked the mar
riod mar who he was, The married man salts
fed Mrs. Rich that he was all right and that
the servant girl would be well treated in his
family. Mrs Rich then asked the married man
TO walk into the room where the young women
were. The married man walked into the reom.
Mrs. Rich told the young ladies that the mar
ried man wanted girl to do housework. One
of the young ladies then walked up to the mar
ried man and said, 'I'll 60 with this gentleman;
Pve lived with him before; he's my husband !"
Somebody was very much astOnished when the
young lady found her husband, and another
somebody looked very pale when the married
man found his first wife. When the young lady
saw utI huHbduu eub0I bHC t00Hi,
sWth wild surprise,
As If TO marble struck devoid of sense,
A stupid monument motionless she stood;'
And when she crossed the room and said,
"Hes my husband"
''They moved not
But like dumb statues or breathless stones
Star'd on each other, and looked deadly pale"
But when the young lady saw her husband
was too much astenshed to articulate single
sentence, she said, in tones Of melting tender
ness, "My dear Thomas, what made you leave
me Eve years ago, without saying 'gcod-bysY-
and why didn't you let me know you were liv-
ing in such beautiful place as Bloomington?
II had enly known you were living here,
would have come long ago" Tradition says
that at this stage Of the game the married man
adjourned the meeting" and that he made
better time from the Western Depot than Golfer
did on the banks of the Yellowstone, when FIVE
hundred Blackfeet Indians were after his scalp.
We do not feel at liberty to publish, just at
present, the sequel to the above interesting and
powerful written story; but If the plot ripens
into events of extraordinary interest, we shall
endeavor to impart all facts bearing upon the
case to our readers Bloomington Pantdgraph

ABLE TO OWE TIE GOVERNMENTAL Wash
ington letter writer narrates the following
amusing display of Congressional genius:
Notwithstanding the " dignity" which sur
rounds the supreme legislative body of the land
some ludicrous scenes occur within the Hall.
Not long ago. very enthusiastic and eloquent
gentleman from Arkansas got up to address
the House on the filbustering question, and as
the discussion was roaming extremely wide. he
soon found himself talking about public lands
in his own State. On This theme he waxed
warm, and in the midst of burst of enthu-
siasm, and fervent appeal in favor Of do
nation of land to Arkansas, wicked member
asked him if that State had not once borrowed
money from the general government
ayes, sir" replied the excited member, "my
State did get money from this government. She
not only got it. sir, but she kept it; aud let me
tell you, Mr. Chairman, that our people down
in Arkansas are an honorable people, and al
though they never intend to pay that money,
yet they will not repudiate, but will always
acknowledge the corn and confess that they
do owe Uncle Sam and are able to owe him.
OF course this acknowledgement brought down
the House.

The NEGRO RAcE.-Bayard Taylor, writing
from Nubia, in upper Egypt, says:
"Those friends Of the African race who point
to Egypt as proof Of what that race has ac-
complished, are wholly mistaken. The only ne
gro features represented in Egyptian sculpture,
are those of slaves and captives taken in Ethio-
plan wars of the PharaOhs. The temples and
pyramids throughout Nubia, as far as the Daref
aud Abyssinia. all bear the hieroglyphy of mon
archs, and there Is ne evidence in al the valley

A ft6OM DIX. - Cs 1OUNNpS Private
N Medical 0fice-To the Afcted-In this age of pro-
progress when science is almost miraculous everything in

of this fact Dr. Young (corner OF Montgomery and Cali

track hitherto pursued by most scientific physicians
hat of waiting for the public to 6nd you aone and pub
lsh TO the world much may be, his knowledge of
the healing art to let those in need of assistance know
where they find relief without being imposed upon
In continuation of this subject, Dr. Young would say,
that for the past ten yesrs he has pursued the practice of
medicine in of the largest cities in the United States
scian is without reproach having at time been lee
uer at the University of Pennsy venrea diseases
Upon these considerations, Dr. Young has confidence in
introducing himself to the public knowing that they will
sustain well earned merit.
The following are a few of the many testimonials which
appeared in the public journals within the last few
years:
lFrom the Boston Medical Journal
Although opposed to the system of advertising,
to that Dr. Young is of the most Industrious and
ndef guable yOares of medical science in the United
States.
from Professor Jackson.
The subscriber is personally acquainted with Or. Young
and has much Of his practice and bear testimony
to his merits as practitioner.
From the New York Hcrad.1
The emnence of this distinguished gentleman in his pro-
fcS0n and the very extended opportunities possessed by
him for the observation of venea disease makes services
invaluable to those afflicted with the above mpains.
From the Wing and Adyertiser.1
All afflicted with private complaints should IL possible

The Dying Mother.
BY ALICE CARY.


We were weeping round her pillow
For we knew that she must die
1t was mig hit within our bosoms-
1t was night upon the sky.
There were seven Of us children,
/ the Oldest Of them all;
So tried to whisper comfort,
But the binding tears would fall.
On my knees my little brother
Leaned his aching brow, and wept,
And my sisters long black tresses
Der my heaying bosom swept.
The shadows Of an awful fear
Come o'er me as trod
To lay the burden of our grief
Upon the throne of God.
30 be kind to one another"
Was my mothers pleading prayer,
And her hand lay like a snow fake
On the baby's golden hair.
Then glory round her forehead,
Like the glory round crown,
And in the silent sea of death,
The star Of life went down.
Her latest breath was borne away
Upon that loving prayer,
And the hand grew heavier, paler,
In the baby's golden hair.
