Two INDIANS RUNNING OFF WIFE A WHITE
WoxAM-It will DO remembered that Major
NeighbOrs, the Indian Agent for the Texan Re-
serves, was murdered two or three months ago,
In one Of the towns Of Western Texas, In amost
inhuman manner and without prOvOcatiOn. Some
difficulty had existed between him and man
named Murphy; who accused the iormrrOf hav-
ing illuminated him. Major NeighbOrs denied
the charge, and while they were talking he was
shot down BY some third person, who was be-
lieved to be an Englishman named Cornett, .
brOther-in.law Of Murphy. The agent was
greatly loved BY the Indians and Il Is said that
they swore vengeance upon his murdercTs.-
Whether they did or not the vengeance they
wrcaked was most terrible one. Cornett had
. place near one Of the frontier settlements, and
q few weeks ago he visited il to do some work,
taking his wife q sister Of Murphy with him.
One day soon afterwards he had occasion to b.
absent few hours, and on his return his wife
was gone, and he learned from negro that two
Indians had rushed upon her while she was ct
the spring for water, and hurried her away into
captivity. A company was raised as soon Gs
possible, but so much time was lost before this
could be done that pursuit was unayailing. Il
was not doubted that they were Reserve lnd.
ans and that the decd was one Of vengeance
for the murder Of Major Neighbors. A rumor
was started soon afterwards that the Indians had
murdered the unfortunate woman, but Il turned
out to be false, and at last accounts the Indians

THE ART OF CoUNTERFErTING. One
of the most lucrative and least danger
Gus crimes is that of bank-note coun-
terfeiting, while the talent required in
the business is greatly over rated. It
is generally supposed that counterfeit
ers must be artists, engravers, chem
lists, and excellent penmen, while in
fact the most dangerous counterfeits in
circulation are produced without any
ofthese supposed necessary accomplish
ments. The explanation is simple
enough to be comprehended by the
dullest intellect, and is simply this -
The system Of bank-note engraving in
vogue in all parts of this country, is
such that the counterfeiters adroitly
employ the best engravers to uncon-
sciously execute the best counterfeits :;
and numbers of cases are upon record,
where engravers of the highest respect
ability, who engraved the original
plates, were employed by the counter
feiters to execute the counterfeit
This fact explains the excellent work
manship on the best counterfeits, and
the frequency with which banks accept
fraudulant limitations of their own
notes. The patch work plan of con-
structing the notes enables the couu-
terfeiter to obtain the different por-
tions from different engravers, leaving
for himself only the mechanical duty of
combining and printing them. Or, the
peculiar construction of the notes en-
ables the counterfeiter to alter the
name or denomination of the bill with
facility. In addition to these induce
ments, there are the loose laws with
reference to the issue and passage of
bogus notes, SO that in proportion to
the trouble and risk of the business the
crime Of bank-note counterfeiting is the
most lucrative.
The crime Of coin counterfeiting is
more dangerous and less successful
and except in the branches of sweat
lug" or boring," by substituting
base metal for the interior of the coin,
is seldom rewarded with great success.
The counterfeiters, however, are said
to have an extensive organization,
known as Circles OF Alchemy" which
number among their members many
prominent men, supposed to be honest,
who really lend their influence to screen
the cul prits. The association is said
to number between six and eight thou
sand members. Through the aid of
these societies confederates are fire.
quentiy rescued from difficulty. They
have also issued circulars containing
full directions for the manufacture of
counterfeit coin and paper money, CIV
ing the preparations Of metals for base
coin, and other information to aid in
their nefarious business.

No Work, No Pay.

what are they doing at Congress 2"
is the question constantly greeting
ones ear, and echo answers What ?"
Nothing has been done and nothing is
very likely to be done for sometime to
come. If the members can stand the
pressure" undoubtedly the people
can. We would give a few words of
sympathy to those whose pocket books
are q source Of annoyance, but we do
not believe in sending men there for
the purpose of making money and
therefore cannot do so consistently.
No Speaker elected yet. The Repub

Some one drops pistol during an an

explanation. Dropper says he is afraid
OF highwaymen O. nights. Newspa-
pers get hold Of the sensation and away
it goes. Some one thinks his honor is
inSulted, and here commences another
series of editorials upon the "code Of
honor" What a ridiculous idea it is
for gentleman to think his honor is
affected because some one says so.--
Does this make it so ? We think not.
Because a fool throws a goblet Of wine
in ones face, does it affect the honor?
Would a Washington have to fight
duel with poltroon who gave him the
lie 7 Would the friends think him a
coward for not naming an hour and
place Surely not. Diversity Of
opinion makes it q point of honor for
some men to fight, but We can see no
just cause for it. In the House we
have such men-1nen who think them
selves insulted at every word or look;
and again we have men who never think

abuse directed at them We leave it

wiser. We shall let our readers know

The RESIGNATION OF GARIBALDI
AND THE REDs.-The Reds are utter
ably discomftted by the resignation
of Garibaldi, who, by the way, iudg-
ing from his proclamation Agli Hala-
ana, is not so particularly resigned to
the powers that he would have us be-
lieved. He says that the force of cir
cnmstances has sheathed his sword
and that the weapon will remain in re-
tirement until called forth by the
King. In the meanwhile he retires to
his island, Capreja, on the coast of
Sardinia, and Victor Emanuel has
sent him his own futile, wherewith to
kill the savage rabbits and raging kids
infeSting those countries. Garibaldi
is an unwilling Cincinnatus but as
matters stood, the sacrifice was ne
cessary and imperative it was hard

only means to effect the independence
of his country. Fortunately, he has

and precipitation, would have hope

A LITTLE GIRL KILLED BY HER
BROTHER. Another terrible occur
renee arising from the careless use of
firearms, came to our knowledge re-
gently. A little girl, daughter of
Mrs. Cole, residing or the fernando
Plankroad, seven miles from this city,
was playing with her twin brother,
when he in wanton, childish sport, sell
zed gun which was standing near,
pointing it at her, accidentally pulled
the trigger, and the gun discharged,
lodging the entire load, consisting Of
seventeen buckshot, in the little girls
throat. She Immediately ran towards
the door of the house, where, meeting
her mother, who had been attracted by
the noise, she had only time to utter
the words, Brother didn't do it T."
and fell dead on the doorstep. Men,

REMARKABLE Echo. In the Ca
thedral of Girgenti, in Sicily, the slight
est whisper is borne with perfect dis
tinctness from the great western door
to the cornice behind the high altar, a
distance Of $50 feet. By a most I'M
lucky coincidence, the precise focus of
divergence at the former station was
chosen for the place of the confessions
al. Secrets never intended for the
public ear thus became known, to the
dismay of the confessors and the scan
dial of the people, by resort of the Gu
rious to the opposite point, which
seems to have been discovered acct
dentally, till at length, one listener,
having had his curiosity somewhat oY-
er gratified by hearing his wife's avow-
al of her own infdelity, this tell-tale
popularity became generally known,
and the confessional was removed.

Barnum was nearly suffocated night

heated by furnace. The room was
small, and windows and doors being
closed, there was no ventilation. Mr..
Barnum found himself unable to walk
on awakening in the morning, and al
though now moving about, he has not
yet entirely recovered from the effects
of his negligence. This, in connection
with the recent fatal cases at Haver-
