Heroic Conduct.

A SAN FRANCISCO print relates the cir.
cumst1nccs of most heroic and intrepid
act, on the part of u lady, which was
performed last month in an Indian coun-
try. About the 10Th of March, tclc.
graphic dispatch was published in the
pnperc, telling the story, to the effect
that the Overland Mail cunch had been
attacked hy Indians ncnr Canon Station,
und the driver was killed. On the 25th,
lady named Mrs. John II. Gcrrish, with
her child, arrived at San Francisco from
the East, via the Overland Route, and nut
up at the Occidental Hotel. She was the
only passenger, beside her little one, in
! the very same coach on the box of which
the driver was shot by the Indians. The
dispatch therefore, wns true, but the
whole truth was not told. The details
of the affair, as narrated by this lady, arc
most thrilling. aud herself the principal
actor in them. lnstantnDeouly with the
shooting of the driver, Mrs. Garrish
Ieapcd out of the stage, leaving h, r child
within. At the same moment, four or
five shots more were fired by the Indians,
one OF which struck horse in the head,
and ho fell. She instantly cut h i'm lose,
mounted the box, and SEEING The rcins,
applied the whip vigorously. The driver
on being shot, fell back into the boot be-
hind the seat. The three horses were
put to the top of their speed, and contin-
ued running for about two miles when
luckily they encountered another stage,
from the opposite direction. In this were
a number of soldiers, who instantly came

The Endless Rest.

There are no weary heads or weary
hearts on the other side Of Jordon. The
rest Of heaven will be the sweeter for
the tolls Of earth. The va ue Of ct irnal
rest will be enhanced by the troubles Of
line. Jesus now allows us To rest on
his bosom. He will soon bring us to
rest in his fathers honse. His rest will
be glorious. A rest from sin; a rest rom
suffering; rest from sorrow--the very
rest that Je us enjoys himself. We shall
not only rest with him but rest like him.
How many OF the eartl.'s 7weary Zones
are resting in his glorious presence now!
twill be undisturbcd rest. Here, the
rest OF the body is disturbed by dreams
and sometimes by alarms; but there are
no troblrsome dreams or alarming oc-
cures there. A little while, and thou
shalt enter into rest.

then flies away forever. A conflict
sharp and painful, may continue for

lowing extract from "DC mocratic"

As tO the freedom sud independence ol

it that were possible, Abraham Lincoln
is not the min tu accomplish that suhiu.
cation. The address of the Virginia As.
scmhly is good proof that the resolution
which animated Virginia all through thi.
war, is as unhrnkcn as ever; that there
is no laltcrinr, no wavcrinp. In the II

The Diamond Wedding.

Our readers have not forgotten the fl.
nous "Diamopd Wedding,r in New
York at which a Miss Bartlett bar.
gained herself away to the highest bid
dcr--who was u mulatto from Cuba.
The editor of the Milwaukee Wiscon-
sin writes from Havana as follows:
1t will be remembered that when the
Cuban Ovicdo, m Irried Miss Bartlett OF
New York, il was termed on account OF
his lnyished gifts, "The Diamond We'd
ding" Has the wedding resulted happi.
lyl As was in the cars by the Guines
route to Matanzas, il occurred 10 me that
Senor Oviedo had plantations near that
famed Pan Of Matanzas. Fortunately |
found people who knew something Of the
Senor. One thing is certain he is i'm
mcnsely rich-not so wealthy as Aldo
ma, but still his property is counted
among the millions. What of him! We
do not hear much good. He is reported
10 have had an extensive h0rem Of his
slaves and is the putative father OF 25 or
80 yellow piccanninnies. To speak in
brei-he was called Dn sold wretch. ~
His young American wife is represented
under ulHcrent aspects--some say shc Is
Observation-Disclosures say she is misera-
Bile. My own conviction is that she has
plenty of money to spend, and is not like
ly TO be vely miserable-as she married
for money aud that reality she has for
Oyedo's plantations are superb. She hos
no child of her own-but can turn her
ottention to Oviedo's yellow children
From what learned, came To the con-
