A Death-Red MnrrIage.

A remarkable marriage occurred in India
napolis last week A lady, made a widow
some years since, was left a large amount Of
property, on conditions expressed 10 her hus-
bands will that she should marry again Why
this strange and unusual condition was i'm
posed, nobody knows. At any rate, in case
she did not marry, she was TO enjoy the use
Of the property during life, bat ON her death
it would pass to other parties. She had been
long sick with consumption, and, finding her
end approaching, she determined 10 marry in
order to secure the succession to her children.
A returned soldier, comrade Of her SOD,
consented to play the role Of busbaod in this
Singular marriage, and the lady, lying on the
bed from which she will soon be carried to the
tomb, made the responses in the presence Of
numerous Witnesses who will testify th i she
is Of sound mind, and became a lawful, we'd
ded wife. The circumstances OF this strange
story are strictly true, lust as have narrated
them Cincinnati Commercial u.

A Cry for Women.

.tf From the New York Express l.
The great lack OF women in the new
mining Territories OF the Far West--nearly
the entire population Of Nevada and Colo
rado being of the male sex--is attracting
attention. Houses aud cities, silver and gold,
are not worth much without the society and
help OF women. Neither wives nor servants,
it is said, can be had, though both have IN.
equaled opportunities The Rocky Mountain
News, Of the l4th ultimo, declares that wo.
men will find in that country the ''Utopia of
their dreams" Husbands can be had at
leisure, and thoee wishing to engage in house
hold employment can quickly acquire for
tune. In the pcpulous Territory Of Colorado
we are told
'There is scarce one woman where six
could and would be pro6itably employed if
they could be obtained, Wages here for
common household duties, are from thirty To
Fifty dollars per month, including board This
makes wages, at the present rate of boarding,
from eighty to one hundred dollars per
month"
These wages are payable in gold, and the
Rocky Mountain editor thinks that,
"Where the population is something near
evenly divided in relation TO sex, many of
those who have no fixed residence, but are
always coming and going, would contract
matrimonial tllances, and make Colorado
their permanent homes. We want more wo-
men to give permaneucy to society, and thus
do awsy with that everlasting, never-faiug
salutation of when are you going to the
StatesT
"The young men who come to this country
to develop its resources and make their TOR.
tunes, are composed OF the best energy and
enterprise of the Unitsd States, and if CORES
ponding numbers of the opposite sex, oi

from those sections where there is already Q
surplus of female population, an advantage
would accrue to all parties, and Colorado

THE STRANGER ON THE SILL.

THE STRANGER ON THE SILL.
Between broad zelda OF whest and corn,
Is the lonely home where was born
The peach tree leans against the wall,
And the woodbine wanders over all
There is the shaded doorway still,
But strangers foot has crossed the still.
There s the barn-and as ofyore
can smell the hay from the open door,
And see the busy swallows throng.
And hear the pewees mournful song
But the stranger comes- oh painful proof
His sheaves are piled TO the heated roof
There is the orchard--the very trees
where my children knew long hours ofeAae,
Aud watched the shadowy moments run,
Till my life has imbibed more shade than sun
The swrg from the bough still swetps the air,
But the strangers children are swinging there.
There bubbles the shady spring lelow,
with it's oulrush brook where the hssels grow
Twas there l found the calmps root,
And watched the minnows poise and shoot,
And heard the robin lave his wing
But the strangers bucket Is al the spring.
oh, ye who daily cross the sill,
Steal lightly, for love 1t still
And when you crowd the old barn caves,
Then thlnk what countless harvest shoaves
Have passed within the scented door
To gladden. eyes that are no more.
Deal kindly with those orchard trees;
And when youi childien crowd their knees,
Their sweetest fruit they shall impari,
As II old memories stirred their heat
To youthful sports still leave the swing,
And IN sweet memory hold the spring.
The barn, G trees, the brook, the birds,
The meadows with their loving herds,
The wSodbue on the cottage wall
My heart still fingers by them all.
Ye strangers on my native sill,
Step lightly, for love Il still.

Pnrrimagea in India.



The Bombay Times inserts the fol-
lowing statement:
Thirty miles northeast of Shola-
poor, at Toolazapoor, is the great
temple Of the goddess Bhowani, and
twice in the year the place is thronged
by men and women Of every grade,
who come to pay their vows and sac
rifce TO the idol. Besides this, at
every full moon, long trains of pill
grims may DO seen hocking thither,
and such is the faith of the people in
the healing power of the goddess, that
the sick are resorting there constantly
in the vain hope of some relief
"The temple at Punderpoor is still
more renowned. Not tospeak of the
myriads who 60 there at the great
festivals, persons make pilgrimage
thither every month from distance
of 80 to 100 miles, and the practice
is kept up for many years.
Zone man, who had apparently
come from a distance, the writer saw
near Barsee, making the journey by
prostrations, measuring his length
upon the ground. 1t was under the
burning sun of MONDAY; and, hardly
able to proceed, he seemed the very
picture Of despair.
" But a case still more remarkable,
was that of man performing the
journey by rolling himself upon the
ground. We came up with him two
miles east of Wairag, and asked him
where he was going, and why he was
thus torturing himself. He at first
did not seem to hear, but at length
stopping, he lay exhausted u pom the
ground, and answered in faint voice
that he was going to Punderpoor.-
After some further questions, as the
writer demonstrated with him upon
the folly of such course, he raised
his head from tho ground, and, half
reclining, said that he had come so far
already that he could not desist now.
He stated that his village was near
Grandrapoor, $50 miles to the east
from there, and that he had spent fif-
teen months on the way thus far, that
it was 40 miles more, and he wished
to complete the pilgrimage. He was
accustomed to go about mile each
day. He would then note tho place
where he had stopped, and walking
back to the nearest village would re-
main till the next day, receiving his
food from the villagers. Then he
would return, and from the place left
the previous day would begin again
his toilsome pilgrimage. If he came
TO river that could not be passed in
this manner, he would go back dis
lance equal to this space, and roll over
the ground second time. He had
for clothing. only n coarse cloth bound
tightly about his loins, and another
about his head, and thus almost naked,
over roads extremely rough and stony,
exposed TO heat and cold, sometimes
drenched with rain or covered with
mud, for year and three months this
poor man had been rolling himself
along toward the shrine of Vithoba
Yet 1t was not a sense of sin or a
desire for pardon that induced him to
undertake this painful journey. But
1T was evident, upon further conversa-
ton, that he was urged on by no
higher motive than q selfish PRIDE
lie sought reputation for holiness"

BRIGHAM You've Is q man Of about
medium height, with an immense chest,
giving assurance of tremendous vital
energy. His head is large, forehead
high, round and broad; his hair and
whiskers incline to auburn, and though
he is sixty-four years of age, scarcely
a gray hair can be seen, and not
wrinkle detected upon his red and en-
pressive face. His nose resem bles the
hawks bill, and his lids, firmly closing,
with his blue and at times flashing
eyes, betoken the great force and in
domitable energy which be has always
manifested. As some one said OF
Napoleon, che is one of the favored
few, born TO command" lie is also
one of the shrewdest and most cum
ming Of men, and sensbleto the power
money gives, and withal possessed Of
business talents Of the highest order.
He is now, it is believed, one Of the
wealthiest men in the nation. While
he lives, the Mormon community
unless he and they determine to defy
tue laws OF congress on the. subject
Of polygamy, will grow and prosper;
but that firm hand and iron viii must.
ere long, despite his regular and strict
ly temperate habits he uses no to-
baceo nor liquor of any kind -must
tremble and bow before the resistless
march Of time; and when Brigham
Young sleeps with his fathers then
will come the searching test before
which We predict the whole Mormon
fabric will crumble to the dust. 1t
may, and doubtless will continue to
exist as religious SCI t, but as a com
pact and tremendously eilectye organ
ization, its power will cease when
Brigham Young's heart is forever still.
In the settlement of his vast estate
among his two score and more of
wives and some sixty children, there
is ample room for quarrels and law
suits potent enough to break up the
entire community. But let the future
solve all these problems as an all wise
Providence shall direct. Chicago TriJ-

SINGULAR DgATH FROM TERROR. - At
the fight which took place near Blue
Mills, Missouri, in September, 1861,
the Union forces, Sd Iowa volunteers,
were accompanied by ono piece of
artillery, a six-pound gun, belonging
to Schwartz Battery. The gun came
early into action, and so terrible was
the fire upon it that it was compelled
to fall back, with the loss of many
killed and wounded. The shifting of
the scene of strife threw the ground
upon which the gun had stood again
int our possession, when a member
OF the battery, named Schelling, was
found standing with hammer in his
hand, unconscious of anything going
on around him. Ho was brought of
the field, immovable as statue
When he arrived in this city he was
still unconscious. An examination
indicated no wound, 10 conclusion or
compression. The pupils of the eyes
were natural-the position of the
body would remain as placed. He
neither ate nor drank, except by arti-l
fetal means. He showed no signs of
sleep, save by his breathing. He died
on the seventeenth day alter the bat
Ito. lie waa said 70 have been an
Austrian and an old soldier. DR..
Thorne, who was in charge of the
general hospital here at the time, and
from whom we obtained tie particu-
lars, is Of the opinion that Schelling
died, from mere fright.--Adnsas G,ty

Oct 24.-Dck Lambert is a runner for q

treated HIM. Subsequently he threatened to
whip the man who took the whipped mans
place Squire Shannessy fined Dick S25 and
costs Tor whipping the one and $40 and costs
for threatening the other, amounting in the
aggregate to 544, 20, which Lambert paid, and
expressed desire to pay for more if the 'Saui,e
would give him half chance
Lucy Albert is the lame of a colored lady
who, having claim on colored man. took
the liberty of calling him the male offspring of

John Rober is an engineer who, believing
that he saw a bigger who owed him $40 90
into niger house, followed in and insisted in
raising curtain which separated, as parti-
ton, two rooms. The darks demonstrated, but
to no purpose. John raised the curtain and
big buck raised him, and coming before Squire
Shannessy the Squire raised him v and con.
