Unromantie Indian Life.

A traveller in the "far West" judging from
the subioined extract from one of his letters,
has been pretty completely disenchanted Of his
early romantic ideas concerning that noble
man Of nature" the wild Indian. He writes ::
I cannot say that the domestic life ofthe In
dian is either noble or lovely. A prairie brave,
mounted on strong pony, with rifle on
his saddle, a blanket strapped behind him,
pressed in a handsome skin jacket, adorned
with bead and tags, with his squaw tlrudging
heavily by his side on foot, carrying her pa
poose on her back and parcel OF provisions in
her hands, was one of my earliest illustrations
Of the chivalries Of Indian life. A mob OF Ute
warriors, tearing through the streets: OF Den
yer, rushing into shops; and painting their
faces, while the squaws and papooses tumbled
after them in the mire, laden with cabbages,
buffalo skins and miscellaneous fry, was anoth-
er. A hstess pack of Pawnees, smoking and
drinking On the Pacific road, while their
squaws were laboring on the railway lines as
navies, hired out by the braves at fifty cents q
day and q ration of corn and meat uncooked,
was third. AS such examples grew in strength
upon me, | began to think the noble Indian
was not SO much of gentleman as q belieyinQ

every way more strange and remarkable is sub
stituted for them. The husband tells his own
story, and it far transcends the widest dreams
of Defoe or Sue. In 1854 Mr.. Wight returned
to this country from Europe in order to marry
lady to whom he was engaged. lie came
sooner than he intended, because the lady S
parents and all her family had died, and left
her unprotected She was twenty y-three years
old, and afflicted with a nervous disease which
her mother described as hysteria. The pair
went to England and while at KesWick one
night, month after their marriage, the hus-
band was Mortified to see his wife fall at his
feet in fit of epilepsy She had seventeen
fits before the morning. Shocked at the dis
covery that his wife was afflicted with this aw-
full disease, knowing that it was incurable, and
despairing of escape from his terrible position,
he that night, as he states, adopted her as
his child.
From that time to this he has nursed her
and taken care of her, but has never resumed
the relationship of their marriage tie. He
calls her in his narrative, I" his patient" and
"his ward" Once, when she thought he
proposed to treat her as a wife, she was rem
dered " extremely unhappy" Her disease
grew worse-the very servants and nurses fled
from the house in horror. Six years ago Miss
Chamberlain came as nurse, and as Mr.. Wight
says his patient herself proposed that he
should marry this lady. She" (the first
wife) chad come to regard it as reGgiousy
wrong to think of fulfilling the relations of wife
in her condition" She pressed him to marry
Miss Chamberlain. Let us imagine what she
must have suffered ere she could bring herself
to this. They tried to get divorce in Indiana,
but failed, for reasons which Mr.. Wight, lit
tie inconsistently, declines to mention. At
last they succeeded-for the wife helped-and
Miss Chamberlain was the solitary witness on
whose evidence the compact was dissolved
Ofwhat nature that evidence was, we are not
informed. The divorced wife was present at
the marriage cerem ony, and she is to live with
the couple for the future
Was there ever such a story? One scarcely
knows which to pity the most, the man chain
ed to a scarcely living woman for thirteen
years, appalled, night and day by the terrible
visitatiOns to which she was subject, or the
woman doomed to witness the misery which
she had caused, loss of his affections and his
marriage with another, and to bear in addition
the remorse which her own deception and sin
must necessarily occasion her. Verify, the
tragedies of real life are more ghastly than
those which the imagination conjures up.
Smyrna times., 1867-05-08

Senator Wilson, in his speech at Petersburg,
illustrated the futility Of hope in the Democrat
ic party by an anecdote about Nallandigham
and his threats in the early part of the war
The Ohio copperhead declared in some fiery
speeches that the Democracy would resist by
arms any attempts to subjugate or cOerce their
Southern brethren, and that the first men
marching from his State for that purpose
would have to do SO oover his dead body. Well,
continued the Senator, it was but short time
before the first regiment raised in Dayton,
where Vallandigham lives, was completed and
moved out of camp to take the car for the front.
Marching down the street with banners flying,
drums beating, buges blowing and cheers re-
sounding, it arrived opposite the copperhead's
residence. As they did so the Colonels voice
was heard ordering Halt p As the column
stopped, and the music the company COM
manders ordered Right dress" and then
again the Colonel commanded 6 Attention |! "
Silence was obtained and the Colonel rising
in his stirrups aud pointing to the house Of
Clement "Soldiers you are about to march
over the dead body of Clement L. Valandig-
ham Every man will hold his nose For
ward, march," The hit was palpable. The
great audience roared with laughter, which
was renewed as Mr.. Wilson quietly remarked
that he would not vOuch for its truth, but tho
Illustration was just as good.

READY TO BE CoURrED.-A young Indian
failed in his attentions to young squaw-
She made complaint to an old chief, who APP
pointed hearing OF trial. The lady laid the
case before the judge, and explained the ma
ture of the promise made to her. l. consisted
of sundry visits to the wigwam, "many little
undefnable attentions and presents, bunch Of
feathers and several yards of red flannel. .
This was the charge. The faithless swain de-
MED the "undefnable attentions in toto. He
had visited her fathers wigwam for the purpose
of passing away time, when it was not conve-
uienient to hunt, and had given the feathers,
and flannel from friendly motives, and nothing
further. During the latter part of the defenca
the squaw tainted The plea was considert,,2
invalid, and the offender sentenced to give tie
lady " a yellow feather, brooch that was then
dangling from hisnose, and dozen coon skins. "
The sentence was no sooner concluded than the
squaw sprang upon her feet and clappng her
hands exclaimed with joy Now me ready to-
be courted again %

A Strange Story,
We find the following in the editorial COL
% tba Nau Vorl, p;n,pe of tho 1st ;nst

We find the following in the editorial COL
umns of the New York Times Of the lst inst :
One of the most extraordinary stories of
married life we have ever heard of has Just
been made public The incidents are more i'm
probable than novelist or dramatist, with a
strict regard for his reputation, would dare to
use The story, as it originally appeared, was
that Mr.. Wight had married Miss Cham
berlain, having just obtained divorce from
his wife on the sole evidence of his second -
The first wife then acted as bridesmaid at Miss
Chamberlain's marriage, standing there, as
we are told, "like a living corpse The
course and blight Of the Almighty" were in
voked by the agonized reporter upon the new
ly married couple
These are not pleasant things to hear, and
Mr. Wight has come forward with a long
statement, in which the assertions Of the re-
porter are contradicted, but narrative in
Smyrna times., 1867-05-08

suppose:
The Sioux, the Pawnee, the Cheyenne squaw,
though she may have certain power in the
wigwam, and an uncertain liberty of speech in
the council, when her character as a woman
happens to be great, is, in many respects, and
as general rule no better than slave such
rights as she may exercise belonging to her
rather as member of the tribe than as moth
er and wife. Her husband has probably
bought her for blanket, for an old carbine, for
keg of whiskey, and it depends wholly on the
mans humOr, or his fondness whether he
shall treat her as woman or as q dog. He
can sell her, he can give her away. The squaw's
lnteriOrity to the hunter is like that of the
horse to his master. She is one of the mans
chattles-one of many like herself; for the In
dian is polygamist, and keeps harem in the
prairie. She has to perform all indoor, all
outdoor labor; to fix the wigwam in the ground,
to fetch water from the stream, to gather bill
lets from the bush, to dig roots and pick up
acorns, to dress and cook the food, to make
the clothes, to dry the scalp, to mend the wig
wan, to carry her children on the march. And
while she has thousand tolls to endure, she
has scarcely any rights as either woman or
wife. The man may put her away for the
most tritling fault. Her infant may be taken
from her lap. Her modesty is not always
spared. While the sins into which her own
fancies may have led her are visited with re-
yolting punishment, she may be forced by her
husbands into acts of immortality which degrade
her as woman, not only in her own eyes, but
in those of the companions of her shame. The
theory of the wigwam is, that the female mem
Der OF it is chatte, and that her beauty, her
modesty, her service belong to her lord only,
and may be given as he lists. For her there is
nothing save to hear and obey.
And the Indian squaw is what such rules of
life must make her. If her mate is cruel in
disposition, she is savage; if he is dirty in per-
son, she is filthy; if he is lax in conduct, she
is shameless. When anything base and mon
strous has to be done, it is left to the squaws.
If any enemy is to be tortured, the women are
set upon him. A brave might club prisoner
to death by blow, but the sharper and slow
er egonies caused by peeling off his skin, by
tearing out his nails, by breaking his finger
joints, by putting fire under his feet, by goug-
ing out his eyes, are only to be inflicted by the
demons who have taken up their dwellings in
female form.

much, but i'll. An impatient man is sure to be
more or less slovenly, and the greater his act
ivity the worse and more far-spread is his SLOW
enliness 1t is here that genius is so habitual-
ly found to want its complement. 1t is OF the
essence of genius to be active. If not active it
is nothing. But true genius is both active and
patient, while imperfect halfgenius is active
without patience The impatience of half-ee
MUS shows itself, not only in the too slovenly
accomplishment of the appointed tasks, but al
so, and still more ruinously, in appointing
these tasks themselves.

POET r Y .
The World Would be the Better for It.

If men dealt less in stocks and lands,
And more in bonds and deeds fraternal;
If Loves work had more willing hands,
To link this world to the superna
If men stored up loves oil and wine,
And on bruised human hearts would pour it,
If"yOurs" and "mine" would once combine,
The world would be the better for it.
If more would act the play of life
And fewer spoil it in rehearsal;
If bigotry would sheathe its knife
Till good becomes more universal;
Ifclstom gray with ages grown
Had fewer blind men to adore it;
If talent shown for truth alone,
The world would be the better for it.
If men weTe wise in little things
Affecting less in all their dealings;
If hearts had fewer rusted strings
To isolate their kindly feelings.
If men, when wrong beats down the right
Would strike together and restore ii;
Ifrigh made might in every fight.
The world would be the better for it.
