From The Denver City News, Oct. 20 &
C.ssIe Dyiog On the Western PIains
From the plains we hear OF . terrible de.
struction Of cattle, belonging to the freight
trains en- route for this city. Their death
is certain, and the best cattle in the herds
are usually tho first victims. The disease
Of which they die has been variously pro-
nounced murrain, distemper and alkali.
From what we learn, the latter is doubt
less the cause The season is now very
dry, the Platte river low, and the water,
in consequence, along the course through
the alkali plains, more than usually i'm
pregnated with the poison but 1t is doubt
less more attributable to the dust than
nything else. The roads are exceedingly
dusty, and moving train is constantly en-
veloped in its clouds. Cattle inhale it
at every breath, and eat it with every
rnouthful Of grass they take. The grass is
said to he thickly covered with it for three
miles from the road. BY this m cans,
enough aIkali is at length introduced into
the system to produce death, and the fin.
est, largest and fattest oxen are the first to
fall victims, while the scrub will stand it
for an indefinite length of time. Some
trains have been obliged to purchase cattle
to fill up their teams, and been seriously
delayed by their losses. One day recently

How Women InAuenoe the Polisics
Of Austria

Three parties now struggle for influence
in the imperial Court at Vienna. At the
head OF the party advocating immediate
and straightforward Progress, without any
drriere pensse, stands the young Empress.
Some months ago the Archduke Ferdinand
Maximlian, enlightened by his experience
during his Viceroyalty at Milan, begged
and entreated his brother, the Emperor, to
desist from the narrow and mean system
of oppression exercised in the whole En-
pire; warning him that, sooner or later,
the same causes might be followed by the
same consequences in other nationalities.
The Archduke left his country in disgrace,
taking with him the memory Of very bitter
verbs from the Emperor. The Empresa
exercises bolder, more legitimate, and
more perseverant influence, and is some
thing more successful. Every morning
before the reception Of the adjutaDts, who
bring the reports, she enters the cabinet Of
the imperial husband, there shs reigns for
awhile, discussing and suggesting the high
est questions Of politics, directed only BY
her heart and patriotic inspiration Of the
right. She has not been taught history.
Ambition and intrigue are strangers m her
heart, but her eloquence flows from heI
soul and from her presentinnents. She
looks at the exiled Italian Princes. She il

We regret to learn o. the death Of Sher-

is well known as the writer of several
popular plays, of which the "Hunchback"
is one. or late years he had renounced

vious connection with it, and he had be-
come very respectable preacher in con :

As an elocutionist he was unrivalled, and
wherever he preached the church was al

On Tuesday night of last week, B. j.
Orten, heretofore considered one OF the
most respectable married citizens of Mum
son, Henry Co., ILL.,, took the wife of Mr..
Morton, of the same place, and fed to parts
unknown. He had previously obtained
the cash for his farm and stock, and had
evidently been making preparations to
commit the foolish act 1t is supposed he
had from $4,000 to $4,000 with him. No
track of the guilty pair has yet been dis
covered.
The London Post, the organ of the
English Government, in an editorial upon
the visit of the Prince of Wales to this
country, says:
"He may visit Canada and the States
again before he is King Of England. and be
as well received he may see India, and
other portions of his mothers vast domiu-
ions, and wherever he goes he will be
honored with the loyalty and love of his
mothers subjects but nothing, one would
think, will ever equal in depth, clearness
and freshness, the impressions of this first

Mrs. DR.. Lydia Sayer Hasbrouck, OF
Orange county, N. Y, who insists that a
woman should not be taxed unless she is
allowed 10 vote, has thought to shame the
collector out Of his demand by offering to
work out her road tax. The doctress,
having somewhat passed the bloom Of
youth, made no impression upon the Of
ficial, and therefore, instead Of paying un-
der protest, as some of her sisters do, she
went upon the road and drove a cart.

OF. SLotD, oCt. oi, looO.
DR. FosrER:-It is gratifying to the few
old fine Republicans in this region who
have weathercd the storm in tribuation
and yexation, to say that an unmistaksble
revolution is going on throughout the Teu-
tonic element of the county, that bids fair
TO be permanent.
And when once the firm principles Of
our party are fully diffused, We think no
county in the State will be more reliable
for the Republican majorities.
A year or two ago we scarcely hoped
for the better age to dawn in our midst so
soon, that Republican speakers would q
tract so large share OF public attention
Our meeting here on Monday evening
was quite large, and most enthusiastic.
was addressed by Gov. Ramsey and Lieut.
Gov. Donnelly and Charles SchetIcr.
The Governor was warmly greeted, and
spoke some thirty-five minutes in his genial
style, explaining the leading National and
Ststepolicies of omrparty, and closi with
some wholesome advice TO the settlers on
pre-emption claims.
He promised that after the fourth of
March next, there should be no mere land
sales That no President of our making
would ever be guilty OF ordering such sales.
That the Homestead Measure IN our Plat
form was to be observed to the lelter, aud
If he were a Democrat he would vote for
Lincoln now, il he never would vote for Il
Republican again in his life, merely to Sc
cure the passage of This measure, which is
of so great importance to the future settle
ment of our State. The Hon. Chas. ScheE-
fer was then introduced end made some
very pleasant remarks in English, after
which he spoke in German, and from the
frequent plaudits, the Germans present
were highly entertained.
Lieut. Gov. Donnelly then treated us to
q feast of reason" that exceeded all ex-
pectation.
1t was great speech-rcplete with
classical research, poeiical fire and politi-
cal sarcasm, it was truly the finest per
iormance, literary or political, that has ey
er been delivered in Northern Minnesota.
Hoping to see it published entire in the
hiNkEsOriAN, i snau mol even atteiipl
herein an analysis.
The remains Of the Democracy are
quite docile at present. They are begin

A WHITE CAPTIVE AMONG THE SAvAGEs.
Many Of our readers may remember the
massacre, last Fall, by the Sioux Indians,
of party Of eniigrants journeying from
Iowa to Oregon. The expedition, We be-
lieye, numbered seventeen wagons, and the
travellers were said to have been all killed
with the exception of two men, who fought
their way through, and two women, one Of
whom was left for dead at the foot Of a
precipice, but was afterwards recovered
and restored to her friends, and the other
taken into camp and compelled to adopt
the savage life Of the Sioux. This sum
mer, when the half breeds from Pembina
were at the Yankton camp on the plains,
some Of them, as they allege, saw this poor
hapless woman in the wigwam of her cap
tors. They say that they conversed with
her, and that she was anxious to get away
but was unable TO effect her escape
Whether there is any truth in the half.
breeds story we cannot say, but it is
worthy Of being enquired into, and il found
to be correct means ought TO be taken by
the American government for Iescuing q
woman OF their country from position OF
misery and degradation which she must
feel to be worse than the cruelest death.
