On Saturday a tall. splendid looking
man, dressed in the uniform of the
Allen Greys stood conversing with a
friend on Broadway He was uncon-
scious that his height was attracting
universal attention, until. a splendid
barouche drove up to the sidewalk,
and a young man sprang from it and
grasped his hand, saying "You
are the most splendid specimen of hn-
manity I ever saw I am Southern
man, but my heart is with the Union !;
if I were not, such noble looking fell
lows as yourself, would enlist me in
the cause" The subject of the re-
mark, although surprised, was perfect
~ self possessed, and answered the
cordial greeting of the Southerner
with warm enthusiasm He was sew
eral inches above six feet, and his no.
BILE, open countenance beamed with the
ancient patriotism of the Green Noun
tain Boys, Of which he was so fine a
specimen. He had walked fifteen
miles from the village of Crittenden
to enlist, and was the only represents

Ho THERE Reports reach US that parties
in remote portion of the county are engaged
in the business of kidnapping Indian children
and disposng of them to families in the towns
and settlements, receiving such sum of
money as may be agreed upon between the
high contracting powers, in each instance
from thirty to fifty dollars, according to the
"trouble" incurred in obtaining possession of
the children. 1t is irtimated-aHd upon
pretty good authority-that stratagem, and
sometimes force. is made use of to capture
the children, the consent of the children and
their relatives being considered of but little
Importance. What amount of force or cum
ming is required to obtain possession of these
little savages we do not pretend to say; but
any one who has lived long on this portion
of the Pacific coast does not need to be told
that Indians do not as a general practice,
willingly consent to have their children Ia
ken to distance to reside amongst strangers.
Let us have no more of this business. Hum

If YOU have taste for delicacies and diplo-

the part of convex lens; John takes it to be

secure it are really surprising You get along

and wish to catch the expression of deep

now sensation among the fair sex, especial
ly those who delight to make their sweet fa-
ces more fascinating. The want of an article
devoid of pernicious ingredients, for clearing
