Who has not listened with hushed pulse
and quivering lip to the thrilling melody Of
"Annie Laurie" so common, yet SO beauti-
full, and forever new? Both music and
words are full of tender pathos, yet but few
know their origin. They were the offspring
of old time passion-true, deep and hopeless
They werc written by John Douglass, Of
Fairland, Scotland, many years ago, and the
theme was Annie, one of the daughters Of
Sir Philip Laurie, Baron of Maxwelton.
Notwithstanding the ardent and chivarous
affection displayed by Mr.. Douglass, he failed
to win the maiden's hand. She married an
other, and left the poet to die of broken
heart.

Robert C, Miller, U. S. Irdiau Agent for
the Upper Arkansas, to the Secretary of the
Interior:
| found among them many Comanches of
the South, who, with Buffalo Hump at their
head, had fed before the Texians in their
fight. Buffalo Hump boasted Of his hos,
tility towards the Texans, stating that they
had surprised him, and thereby obtained a
temporary triumph but so soon as the dis,
tribution wds over, it was his determination
to lead, not only his own band, but a poro
tion of the Camanches of the North, against
the white man of the South, and true to his
boast, he subsequently did so. **
The distribution being over, y the bal>
ance of the Kiowas with the Camanches
separated into two companies, the one going
eastward in search of the Osages, the other,
headed by Buffalo Hump, turned their faces

Bridget was hired as "help" in female
boarding school, and was told to ring the
first bell at halfpast FIVE in the morning
AT six O'Clock the pupils were required to

after Bridget commenced her labors, many

that "they did not hear the rising BELL"
Bridget was questioned by the head of the

A SMART DARKEY.-A new YORK pa
per relates the following
About twelve days ago black man at
tempted to escape from the prison at Sing
Sing by contrivance ingeniously planned
but uuskillfully executed He obtained a
piece of plank, through which he cut hole
large enough to pass his head. Over the
hole he nailed strips of hoop iron, so as to
form shield like helmet Then he tarred
the plank and strewed the whole with straw
and shavings, SO that when floating on the
water it would have the appearance of a
bundle of Rubbish. Having prepared these
things, the convict launched his fotlla and
succeeded in ensoonced himself under the
plank, by which he was buoyed up. He
soon passed the line Of guards stationed on
the river, and was making good progress
towards the mouth Of the Croton, when his
craft attracted the attention of some boys
swimming, who thought it strange to see a
bundle of straw floating against the tide.
One of them laid his baud on the straw, and
was surprised when the man underneath
exclaimed, "Go away go away or I'll
drown youp' OF course the alarm was
given, and the convict soon returned to the
prison, very much to the surprise of the
officers, who had not yet Counted him out. !"
Last Monday he succeeded in again eludine
the officers and has not yet been recaptured
although the watch has been set every night
since, the keepers apparently thinking him
inside the guard.
