Cock AND BULL STORY ABOUT AN AssAs.
NATION OF OLD ABE.-A Washington dis
patch, Of the 7th, says: 1.-The report that
Thomas Clemens had matured his plan for
the assassination Of the President on inau.
guration day had its origin in the follow
ing facts: Clemens and another person.
came from Alexandra on Saturday. They
were both extremely disorderly and seemed
to have been drinking freely. Clemens in
particular was very abusive, using gross
and profane language: That he cam 9
here to kill the President; that he was late
by about ne.half hour; and that his Saw.
Jour would never forgive him for failing to
do so; that be would do it that night, the
5th of March, and that he came expressly
to do it, and he could do it bcfor. he left
town that Lincoln had robbed him of q
certain sum of money. This is the sub
stance Of the affidavit. Clemens has been
turned over from the military to the civil
authorities, and has been committed to Jail
for trial.

TnE Davenport Democrat, one Of the
best papers published in the State, has the
following, with comments, which its editor
has picked up somewhere IN the rounds Of
his literary research:
A REMARKABLE PRoPuEcY.-Not long
ago was found at Toledo. in Spain, in a
monastery, paper containing the follow,
ing prophecy, which in all probability be
longs to that class Of prophecies which are
not promulgated until the events pretended
to be foretold have actually happened
which is probably the safest kind Of prooh.
ecy that can be indulgyd in:
"In the far West, beyond the ocean, will
rise nation which will be great in power
and wealth !; and Satan, in one Of his walks
to and fro in the earth, will observe this
nation, and, determined to destroy their
happiness, will there send two monsters,
one to the North and the other to the South,
and he will give them straw berries, and
they will eat them and after they have
eaten they will feel a great thirst-not
to be quenched by anything else but
blood"
"They will, therefore, cause the brother
to slay the brother, the father to slay the
son. and the son the father they will drink
the blood of the slain, and it will bring Ia.
mentation and wailing throughout the land.
And when the time is fulfilled, there will
rise strong man in the North, who will
take the monsters and bind them, and will
draw them into the sea where it is the Deep
est, and peace and happiness will again
prevail throughout, and people will praise
the Lord"
1t is said the monks in said monastery
maintain that the prophecy was written be-
fore the discovery Of America by Christie
pher Columbus; that Ferdinand and Isabella
were, in the main, induced by it to fit out
the ship for Columbus; and that the first
part is fulfilled in America, and that the
other part will soon come to pass.

The Origin OF "IIawkeyc."

The Origin OF "IIawkeye."
The January number of the Annals Of
Iowa, has the following, showing the origin
of the term "Hawkeye State" as applied
to Iowa:
"Haukeye State" in the explanatory and
pronouncing vocabulary, appended to Web.
ster's Dictionary, new illustrated edition,
page 1866, is thus explained:
The State Of Iowa; said to be so named
after an Indian chief, who was once terror
to uoyageurs to its borders"
The famous Black Hawk is the chief re.
ferrcd to by Mr.. Wheeler, (thc compiler of
the vocabulary,) and his residence before
and at the breaking out of the Black Hawk
War of 1882, was on Rock river, above the
town of Rock Island, Illinois, and We never
heard before that he was terror to the voy.
ayers, much less uoydgeurs to its borders
after that date. After his defeat and cap
ture at Bad Axe, Wisconsin, and his
release by the President, (Jackson,) he
took up his residence in the Dcs Moincs
valley.
The cognonen "Hawkeye' originated
thus:
One evening in the winter Of 1888, sew.
eral gentleman assembled in the room Of
Gov. Lucas, at the Burlington House, in
Burlington, were discussing the name of
Badger" as applied to the Territory of
Wisconsin, from which Iowa had been but
recently separated, when the question
was sprung what name should the Iowans
take.
We rec.llect that in that company were
Governor Lucas, Secretary Conway, Gen.
Van Antwerp. (the Receiver Of Public
MoneysD Jesse Williams, subsequently,
Secretary Of the Territory Hon. Joseph
Williams. j. G. Edwards, editor Of the Bur
lington Patriot. and afterwards familiarly
known as "Old Hawke" and the editor OF
the Annals, (tben private Secretary to the
Governor.) .-....
Some one, we do not remember whom,
proposed (after various names had been
mentioned,) that df Hawkeye, when all at
once agreed, and Edwards soon after chang.
ed the name of his paper TO that Ct Hawkeyt
and Burlington Patriot.

wish to express my thanks to Mr.. Phelps

On the day before Christmas a citizen of FIRE.

was surprised greatly when 1 told him there.
was no certain evidence concerning the day of
the Lords nativity. He was surprised also at
my statement that the observance Of Christmas
was thing gradually introduced This incl
dent determined me to write a brief statement
of the case. Iapprehend there are hundreds
and thousands who are not informed in this mat
ter The observance of Christmas, to be reas-
enable at all, must be founded in intelligence.
The note of Mr.. Phelps aids the purpose of my
article, by adding his testimony to mine as to
the voice of history. To make the Christmas
festival a season of foolish mirth, as has been
the case extensively in Papal countries is un-
reasonable and sinful To make it time Of
mere gift -bestowing is to forget its true import
The strictly religious observanceis is the only one
that has foundation in reason or sense. hope

may be done pretty well by reference to the

Frem Fulesburs. Colorado.

Fulesburg, Colorado, Jan. 9.-On Saturday
A. NJ, party of so Indians attacted the Over
land Mail Express COACH three miles east OF here,
and robbed the mail and express, and they also
attacted mule train close by, killed one man
and numbering another. The troops at the mil
itary post here, numbering from 80 to so men,
Immediately started to the relief of the white
settlers in the vicinity, and drove the Indians
to the bluffs, mile back, where the Indians
were reinforced to the number of 500, and in
turn drove the troops back to the post The
Indians then entered the stage station ip large
numbers, and after destroying all the furniture
and breaking all the windows in the buildings
set them on fire, and destroyed large amount
of telegraph material A well-directed fire of
musketry from the troops at the post, soon drove
them from the station.
In the running fight on the retreat of our troops
35 Indians were killed, including their princi-
pal chief; 10 soldiers and citizens were killed.
A general massacre and destruction of the whites
was only prevented by the perseverance and
bravery of our troops and an efficient artillery
fire. The indiana retired in southerly direc-
tion. This is by far tbs most determined in
cursion made by the Indians
