heard of before, Cn the Arabian Nights En-
tcrtainments): at Is just twenty years ago
yesterday said our narrator, that party of
us tcllcrs went over to Cahokia Creek on .
skating match. The day was colde: than ten
ccbergs all stuck together, but the ice was as
smooth rs glass, aud we made up our minds to
have heap Of fun Bill Berry was the leader
Of the crowd. lie was tall six.foOter, full of
pluck, and the best skater in all CREATION
Give Bill Berry a good pair of skates. and
smooth sailing, and he'd make the trip to Baf-
fins Fay and back in twenty-four hours, only
stopping long enough at Halifax to take /
drink. Well, we got TO the creek and fastened
our skates on; and, after taking horn from
Joe Turner's Task, started Off in good style.
Bill Berry In the lead. AS was tellin' We, it
was dogonncd cold day, and so we had to
skate fast to keep the blood up. There were
little breath holes in the ice, and every now
aud then VIC would come near goin' into ein.
My skates got loose, and stopped to tasten
them. just as ! had finished bhcklinU the
straps heard n noise. looked up and saw
something shooting along on the ice like light
min. 1t was Bill Berry head. He had been
goin' it like creased electricity, and before he
knew it went into one Of them cussed holes.
The force was ST. great as to cut his head off
against the sharp corners of the ice. 1T is all

and there, as true as I'm sinner, was Bill

my coat and went over. There lay Bills body
in one place and his head in another. His wiic
said that after he came home from skating he
sat down by the fire to warm himself, and

his head into the fire place"

NATrRE rs ART.-Nature will always tri.
umph over acquired genius, as the following
anecdote amusingly illustrates Ceccod 'Arcoii
argued against Dante, that nature was more
powerful than art. Dante asserted the contra
ry, and attempted to prove the truth of his
assertion by exhibiting his cat-which by dint
of long practice, had been accustomed to hold
candle in its paw while he supped or read.
Cecco, however, was not unprepared for cxhi-
bition, and, while Dante's cat went through
his performance he let loose a couple of mice.
Wherenpon the cat Immediately dropped the
candle and rushed upon the mice; so that Ma.
ture once more triumphed over Art

the ceremony of marriage is performed by n

but it is the fixed and habitual sentiment OF
the community on the subject Of divorce.

WASHINGTON, July S.
The contract Of the California mails is
likely to involve the government IN some 80.
rious difficulties which have not been con-
sidered. Our postal treaty with England
obliges as to bring the South American mails
which come to Panama by the English steam
ers. Ii 10 known that Mr.. Vanderbilt has
issuad peremptory orders not 30 carry that
mail or that from California, after June 30th,
go that the foreign and California mails must
be on the Isthmus till some temporary or
other arrangements can be made. In view
Of this exigency, ID is proposed that several
the swf Test Government steamers shall be
specially delegated for the service until the
meeting of Congress. The Panama Railroad
and Pacific Steamship Go. are ready to ex-
tend their cooperation in the arrangement
and the suggestion will be made in the Cab
met Tomorrow. DGvidge and Hadley, who
represented the Pacific Steamship and Rail-
road Corporations, have both disclaimed any
sympathy or concert with Mr., vanderbilps
scheme. Propositions have been formally
made TO carry the mail by the San Antonio
aud other routes, bnt they are considered
imprac.i cable. MIR. Irwin has returned here
in the hope OF eifecting some accomm oda-

on the steamer OF Monday, but left il when
the mail was refused. His influence with the
Administration is necessarily impaired since

The Commissioner of Indian Affairs re-
ceived important intelligence this morning,
from Nebraska Territory. Agent ellis, un.

more Chayennes, Arrapahoes, and Sioux In.
dams had just attacked a pawnee village in
sight OF the agency, and killed several per-
sons.
Mr.. ellis rode 10 among the attacking par
ty, and with the assistance of half breed
interpre or, succeeded in inducing them to
draw of. They declared their purpose to
return and wipe out the Pawnes tribe. An
express Was Immediately sent to Col. Chas
May, commanding at Fort Kearney, for as.
sistance, as under the treaty OF September,
1857, the Government 10 bound to protect the
pawnees on their new reservation. The hos
tile expedition was fitted DOT West OF Fort
Kearney for the express purpose OF making
war on The pawnees.
