Young Girl ia Search Of Adventures.
She ,Cears boys clothes enlisS IN tie army-pldyS
office boy, and attempts 10 commit suicide.
Caroline Olsen made an attempt to commit
suicide at the Randolph street bridge, night
before last, BY jumping into the river She
was over heard by the bridge-tender, before
she accomplished her object, and taken to The
West Side station house, where sergeant Tur-
tie took her in charge and sent for her parents.
She proved to be young woman whose case
was mentioned 10y us a day or two since, as
having be found in the guise of an office
boy and returned by the police to her parents
Her adventures in this capacity were bold aud
striking, and well worthy OF record
Some weeks since she became Disguised
with the comforts OF good home, and conclu
ded to see the world Tor herself. She accord
ingy cut her hair in fghtin style, donned
boy s clothes, which she mad procured through
the medium of some other person, and came
down town to i've. She fou. ished around ior'
while in her new rig, made cd many
acquaintances, and enjoyed herself in promis
cuous style. Her age was only fifteen, but
her stature was much above that of ordinary
women OF mature years, and she found no diff
fcuty in passing for young man OF sixteen or
seventeen. Her well trimmed figure might
have been seen very often of an evening,
lounging about places of public resort, enter
ing saloons, or attending theatres and general
anu rements.
Getting tired Of this she enlisted as soldier,
but soon tired of that also, and hired out to
take care of an office, and here she was arrest
ed Her father, who was in comfortable cir
cumstances, and has good home, took charge
OF her, and with much difficulty persuaded her
to retire once more to the Obscurity Of petit
coats and the paternal root. Her stay was
short in that locality She escaped day before
yesterday, and wandered around through the
city at random. at late hour of the night
the bridge-tender saw her moving across the
bridge, and casting earnest looks into the
stream below. The circumstance was no nov.
eltJ to him. and with full understanding OF
her intentions, he followed her unseen, and
seized her as she was on the point oil throwing
herself into the river.
She refused to give any explanation of her
conduct, and met her father at the station
without emotion, or any expression of anger
or sorrow. She said, III a few brief words,
that, when there was nothing to live for, life
was without value. This may, perhaps, be
taken as the index to her motive Her career
was that ofmany thouglltIess girl-short aud
most thoroughly effective. She was takeu
home, and, it is to be hoped, will remain there.

An IrIshman In and out of Trouble.
From, tho Nn,u York CnInnnerciaI

FROM the new lork commercial
A son of the Emerald Island" but not
himself green, was taken up flor lie was al the
time docn) near rebel encampment, not far
from the Manassas junction. In a word, Pat
was taking quiet nap in the shade, and was
reused from his slumber by a scouting party.
He wore no special uniform of either army,
but looked mOle like spy than an alligator,
and on this was arrested. ''Who are you
what is your name, and where are you from 2"
were the first questions put to him by the arm
ed party Pat rubbed his eyes, scratched lis
head, and answered, by my faith, gintIemen,
them is ugly questions to answer any how any
how, and before answer any O. them, I'd be
after akin you, by yer lave, the same thing"
"Welr said the leader, eve are Of SCOTS
army, and telong to Washington" Gan
right" said Pat, II know'd we was gintiemen,
for am that same. Long life to Gen. Scott"
"Aha," replied the scout, "now you rascal.
YOU are prisoner" and seized him by the
Shoulder "How is that 2" inquired Pat, care
we not friends ?" "No,' was the answer 1--WE
belong to Gen. Beauregard's army" "Then
We told me lie, me boys, and thinking it
might be So l told you another-now tell me
the truth, and I'll tell the truth too"
"WelI--we belong to the state of South
Carolina $50 do I" promptly responded
Pat,-..'and TO all the other states of the coun
try, too and there / am thinking bate the
whole OF ye DO we think would conle all
the way from Ireland to belong TO one state,
when had right TO belong 10 all of 'em e.
This logic was rather a stumper, but they took
him up as before said, and carried him in for
further examination.
ii is pretty evident from this specimen, that
Pat needed no prompting in closer examina-
ton, aud bearing no evidence that lie was a
spy, they let him off, and the more readily, as
while he assured them he was no "politcian-
err" he persisted in thinking that any man was
great fool to belong TO only one state when
he has right las he had). Of belonging to
thirty four states, "besides the territories"
Now, in this simple incident we learn why
SO large majority of our adopted citizens
stick to the nation and the national Union
They became citizens and swore fealty to th'
,rhoie country, not to political fragment of it
They remember their oath, while many ma
tive born forget their birth right"

A TOICH OE sPRING.

The weather is decidedly Spring likes
warm, so bright, so cheerful, as to almost
make one forget that Winter, with its frosty
air, had paid Us visit even this week. An
| editor 'aown South" or '.out West" or
somewhere else, who breathed little
bamy mir few mornings ago, thus poeti-
cally expresses his sentiments Sc The
Spring stirred uneasIy in her Winter
sleep, and prefaced her waking By sweet
smile. How that smile has touched the
magic links of association, gliding them into
beauty The soft air seemed suggestive Of
fragrant vioiets aud wild flowers, and broke
into notes Of sweetest music as it stirred
among the depths Of the forest-depths that
sighed for the presence of the innumerablc
feathered songsters, with whose voices they
are yet to be vocal. On such a dag, when
the earth seems ike white-robed bride,
all sunshine and happy smiles, one readily
accepts the pagan fancy that the feathered
race were approaching their annual jubilee
Of love, and about to choose mates for the
vernal year, the year which, in this climate
at least, has not yet dawned."

IOWA AND MINNESOTA.

From the New Ola AlLies
The rapid progress made by Iowa ana
Minnesota in the far Northwest, presents
Us with pleasing contrast 10 the state OF
things existing in the South. Where but q
few years ago an uLbroken range or forest
stood, and the Indians sat 10 camp, uudis-
turbed by the white man, the locomotive Is
now heard railroads cut their way into the
valleys, still westward the din of mills and
factories is heard on every stream: bright
villages spring up, as if BY magic: churches
rear their graceful spires, and busy peo-
pie are everywhere seen pursuing those
peaceful vooations which give strength and
vigor to State. We read what future
viii be in those pleasant homes, surround
ed by green field and pretty gardens, which
dot hill and valley, and present SO pleasant
a picture for contemplation. The climate
and soil of both these States are unexcep.
tionable-ther mineral resources iuexhaus-
tlbe. Both Offer strong inducements to
settlers, and a steady current of emigrants,
of an Intelligent kind, has been pouring in
to them for the last four years. Tne soil
of Iowa is particularly rich, easy of cuIi-
walton, and produces wheat and other cereals
in great abundance, and of a superior
quality.
The picturesque regions of the Far West
have already began to attract the attention
OF travellers in search of health and plea
sure. Our people of wealth and refinement
have exhausted Europe, and require novelty
and new scenes. Those who have hereto
fore res0rted to our fashionable and eXpcn-
sive watering places came away satisfied
that they have hut a poor return for their
