A PROLIFIC BEeGAR.-The Impartial of
Copiapo, Chile, of June 18th, says there
is q poor woman in Santiago who sup
ports herself and family by begging.
This woman was twice married, and il
thirty-six years of age. By her first
marriage, WEIGH was of nine years dura-
ton, she had thirteen clildren-three
boys and ten girls By the second, ,wbich
is now of eleven years existence. she
has had fifteen, and expects to have
some more. She and her husband are
both healthy, robust persons, and have
always lived together in the most ex-
emplary harmony But aside from the
extraordinary fruitfulness of this woman,
1t is matter for wonderment that the
poor man, without any resources for a
living bnt the daily work Of his hands,
shoald have the courage to marry
woman as poor rs himss.f, and whose
whole property consisted of thirteen
children. 1t proves tia. love is too
hcadstrong and capricious to be gov
erned hy any circumstances.

GARIBALDI lNvuLNERABLE.-A Neapoli,

thus speaks Of Garibaldi:
The Neapolitans believe him invulner-
able. When he is covered with balls,
they say, he has only to Shake his red
shirt and they fall at his feet. It is
probably on account Of this superstition
that he has been saved thus far from the
hand Ct the assassin. Remember that
he entered the city alone when it was
defended by numerous soldiers six
thousand, it is said The forts were in
their hands, and they could have burnt
Naples. Beneath the windows of the
Foresteria, where he addressed the
people, the royal guard was under arms
behind the closed shutters of the palace.

hostile demonstrations The canrons
of La Garmina could have riddIed the

upon the people the same evening. And
yet Garibaldi passed twenty times

CAPT. TRAVIS SHOOTING RoUSp A TREE

GAIT. Travis SHOOTING RoUSp A TREE.
The Richmond Dispatch Incorrectly
states Captain Travis's recent PROPOSE
ton to wager $3.50 that he could shoot
around tree and hit a mark 6 by 5
inches in size, and says:
Captain Travis is by no means the
first to attempt this novel feat, nor is it
quite SO astonishing as many might at
first suppose it to be- The modus ope-
randi of this boomerang" shooting will
be found fully illustrated in the follow
ing legend, which we clip from the New
castle Chronicle The belt mentioned
is i'll the hands Of the editor of the
| Chronicle. rtr. .z5s
Directly after the purchase of Louis-
ana from the French Government, Col
Andrew Ellicott, of Lancaster, Pa, with
one hundred U. S. troops and about fifty
typographical engineers, axmen, etc,
went down the Ohio and Mississippi
rivers from Pittsburgh, and after safe
and speedy passage on fatboats, al
rived at the point where their labors
were to commence in running the boull-
dairy between Mexico and the newly &C
sqnired territory After spending some
time at their labor, and after having
penetrated into the interior, they were
surrounded by a large body Of Blackfoot
Indians who had fully determined to
massacre the whole party.
! Col. Ellicot fortunately had shrewd
half-breed interpreter, who, learning the
intention of the party, made a "big
talk" to the chiefs, and assured them
that his master was a great medicine"
capable OF even raising the Evil Spirit
at his will. He said that if man was
to stand behind tree, one hundred and
fifty yards distant, he could kill him
without taking aim Or shooting through
the tree.
After some consideration the Indians
concluded to try their prisoners power
on turkey. The next day one was Sc
cured, and the. distance measured off.
The Colonel took an ak and split stake,
which he drove firmly into the ground a
few yards beyond the trunk of the tree.
After driving the stake into the
ground, and having tied the turkey to
the stake, SO that it could be calculated
upon where it would be found when
shot at, he passed to the side of the tree
in an oblique direction, and chalked
small spot on the blade of his ak, after
having stuck it, apparently without
care, into the ground. Taking the po-
sition assigned him, he fred at the chalk
mark ON the ak, and so mathematically
correct had the angles been calculated,
that he, with a glanced ball, absolutely
accomplished the feat Of killing the tur-
Key without having seen it when taking
aim. So greatswas the delight of the
principal chief that he at once united
he belt around his body. and placed it
around Col. Ellicot's waist, where it
served to render him honored and re-
'pected during the remainder Of the
survey. y...s-.{
