Maria re of an Indian Chief 10 a
E& - White Woman.

:. Hole in-the-Day, the celebrated Indian
Chief, has taken a new wife, this time va
rying the programme by selecting white
woman as, his mate. Mr.. and Mrs. Hole
at present stopping at the
Merchants Hotel. ~ ,Ia- -a
hs Mrs. H.. we understand, was a domestic
employed in the laundry department. at the
hotel in Washington, where Hole-in the
Day and his suite were putting up during
the recent treaty conference. His Chippe-
wa Highness saw the young lady in ques-
ton, who was comely in person, and be-
thought himself she would make a fine ac-
cession to his harem. So he proposed, and
without much ado or fOrmality was mar
ried, after the manner OF Christians.
Mrs. Hole-in-the-Day is young lady of
modest and intelligent appearance. Her
royal husband, we understand, does not de-
sign to take her to Crow Wing, to his ha-
rem of half dozen or more Indian wives
That would not -be-Rery pleasant for the
last Mrs. HI. He designs living at St.
Cloud, in the style and manner of '''white
fOIks.'' '5.l' -n
He is abundantly able to do this, as he is
a man of great wealth-having a large in
come as annuities from Government, and a
large farm well stocked with horses, cows,
&C., besides his reservation of mile square
at Grow Wing. Hole-i -the-Day is an In-
dian of no ordinary kind. He is the
smartest man in, his tribe, and has long
been desirous of living after the style and
manner of his pale-faced brethren. His
ambition can now be gratified. 80

Actors. Salaries Fifty Years Ago.

The difference between the amounts paid
to actors a. half a century ago, and the sums
now paid, is extraordinary. On reference
to the salary list of old Drury Lane theater,
in 1904, we find some remarkable items.
The name of Richard Brinsley Sheridan.
the placeman, statesman, and orator, man
ager and author, is down for f3l los.
This, it is to be presumed, was his salary as
manageable sum he allowed himself on
the books. Tom Sheridan follows for 65
8 los. Jack Bannister, jr: had 80 as stage
3 manager, and Ell as actor--a remarkable
2 salary in those days, when such favorites
as Pope, Wroughton, and even Jack john
stone, the famous actor of Irish parts, re-
ceived only f15. The celebrated Dowton
aud Dickey Suett, of facetious memory, got

Wore Taxes fo,. Working Men.

The burdens on laboring men are daily
increasing with rapidity truly alarming.
1t is now about all that a laboring man can
DO to make support for himself and fam
lily, yet taxes are largely increased. The
late military despotism bill added more
than one hundred millions to our yearly
taxes, to be wrung from the toll of the
working-men of the country and the rad
ical Legislature of Ohio has added thou
sands of dollars to our taxes, in an effort to
make radical voters out of negroes and to
disfranchIse white men who would be
likely to vote against radicalism. Work
ing-men, are you beasts of burden, that
this load of taxation can be borne without
inquiry or complaint? VIII you continue
to vote for radicalism, and tamely submit
your neck to the yoke If so, toll on,
work on, and forge your chains ofservitude
and degradation But, if you would be
free and wish to be relieved from this great
oppression, vote with the party that stands
pledged that ALL shall be equally taxed,
and has for its motto EQUALITY OF TAXA

APrettx TougI, story.

George Kendall, of the Neto Orleans Plea
yt1e, tells the following story: 5a,rtL.g
while talking with Capt, Wilson, who
is an old salt, and a good one, 1 find in com
pairing notes, that sailed or steamed with
him some sixteen or eighteen years ago,
between Charleston and Philadelphia, on
the Osprey, then running regularly In that
trade. She was slow steamer but, a
staunch one. We had species of adven-
ture on board which shall not soon forget.
The first morning after crossing Charleston
bar, somewhere off Georgetown, if my
memory serves me, we were all, a, good
number of passengers, quietly enjoying
ourselves under the awnings, the weather
delightful and the sea smooth, when sud-
denly the bow of the steamer struck some
hard substance k'chug, checking her up
suddenly, and causing her to culver from
stem to stern. All rushed to the sides, both
larboard and starboard, expecting to see
huge log or piece of a wreck pass by; but
nothing could be discovered-not even.
limb or piece of plank. There was wonder
and excitement on board, and as the steam
er passed on, many eyes We're cast astern,
expecting to see some kind of drift turn
up; but all was smOoth-not speck came
| to the surface-the passengers soon return
ed to their books or cigars, and in halt an
hour all was forgotten. 49,. -. -.
This was about 10 O'Clock in the morn
j ing, After dinner, when 1 was talking g
with the captain, theengiaeer came UP and
| quietly said that something was wrong he
! had on his usual head of steam, but the Os-
prey was running knot or a knot and a
half slower than usual. He had examined
every part of the machinery, had found it
all right, and, could not account for the fall
ing off. The mate was called, and he, too,
| was at a loss; had noticed that the vessel
was not up to her usual speed, yet could
not account for it. But in looking we'll
over the bow, the whole thing was ex-
planned; the cut-water of the Osprey, rank
and deep, had struck an enormous trunk
4 turtle directly in the side, had gone about
half way through the monster, had fastened
to him, and was pushing him through the
water ahead, to the great detriment of her
speed. A church door, showed sideways,
could not have impeded the steamers pro-
gress much more than did this huge turtle
who was, of course, lying fast asleep on the
surface when struck. Nor was it an easy
matter to disengage him. A number o.
men, with hatchets and axes, were sent
down, and first cut off the turtles head
which, as large as bucket, was drawn or
deck, and taken on to Philadelphia as g
trophy. The carcass, which was thought tC
weigh some eleven or twelve hundred
pounds, was next cut away, and when once
4 loose from the strange companion, the Os
tprey sped on at her usual rate. In all my

A.Lit1Ie Gan,e Of GOOSE.

T The Constitution of Ohio requires that
all amendments proposed to the Con-
stitution of the State, be published in
at least one paper in each county of the
State sic months previous to its being sub
mitted to the people,. The election this
fall comes on the Sth of October, and to
legalize it it should have been published by
every paper so fortunate as to get grab at
it on or before the Sth day of April, A. D..
1857. Now, to what we wish to call atten-
ton is, that it was not published in this
county until the eleventh, and dated the 18th.
The editor of the Scion, finding out that
April the 18th wouldn't do, slyly slipped it
back to AApril 9Th, 1856; !" and when it
comes to presenting his bill, will make an
affidavit that he published it siS months
previous to the Sth day. of October, when
it lacks three days. We do not know what
this will have upon the legality of the effect
amendment, but whatever damages occur,
Mr.. Burwell can charge them to the
"beardless boy" as he is pleased to term
us, because we have not crossed the Rubi-
con of youth.-PeopEe's Defender. ai

Another Big GUN.

A twenty-inch gun was cast at Fort Pitt
Foundry, Pittsburg, on Monday of last
week. which makes the sixth of this cali
bre cast at these works. i.1."
-n The mould for this new monster was
placed in the pit on Wednesday last, the
10th instant. Seventy tons or 140, 1000 pounds
of iron was placed in three furnaces ready
for operations. In furnace No. were 68.-
600 pounds, in No. s.. 36.S00, and in No. 6,
35, 200 pounds. Yesterday morning, at four
O'Clock and thirty minutes, the fires were
lighted in the respective furnaces. Troughs
were laid, leading from the furnaces to the
pool near the pit. The trough leading from
No. was sixty feet in length, that from
No. twenty-fiv feet. T. pagrs - .ts vreI
f, Ateleven o'clock the three furnaces were
tapped, and the molten metal commenced
n running to the pool, Two conduits led 1T
from the pool to the pit running it into
opposite sides of the mould. The process
OF filling the mould occupied tWenty-seYen
minutes, the flask being filled at seven min
. utes past eleven. While the metal was be-
ing run in, and subsequently, stream of
cold water was run in and out of the hol-
low core barrel Of the mould at the rate of
twenty gallons per minute. When the wa
. ter commenced running it had a tempera-
ture of 60 degrees. In ten minutes its tenn
perature had risen to ITO degrees, and in
/ forty minutes to 120 degrees. The tempera-
, ture of the water Increased for about an
hour.
sai~ Tue material of which the gun is cast is
I the best Juniata iron, made from brown
! Hematite ore, at the Bloomfield furnace,
about twelve miles from Hollidaysburg. The
rough weight of the gun when taken from
the mould will be 100000 pounds, and when
finished it will weigh $4,000 pounds. Its
greatest rough diameter will be sixty y-six
inches; its diameter at the muzzle forty -eight
inches. The greatest diameter when fin
ished will be sixty-four inches, and the
diameter of the muZZle, 38X90 inches. The
length of the finished gun will be one hun
! dred and eighty mine inches, and the length
of the bore one hundred and tifty-seVen
inches. The depth of the pit in which il
was cast is twenty six feet, and the depth
of the mould, inside, twenty six feet and
nine inches. .-f-''''E tgt -
About two weeks will elapse before the
great thing will be ready to take out. II
will then be conveyed to the "proving
ground" and tested, ball one THOUSAND
pounds in weight being used. Nine charges
of mammoth powder will be employed, the
first three charges being sixty pounds each
the second three eighty pounds each, anC
the third three one hundred pounds each.
The casting was as perfect a success aE
b was ever achieved. The final destination
| of the gun had not been decided by the
[ Ordnance Bureau when they ordered it,.

A Freak of "LOyaIty..,

Addison township in this county sun
ports ten white, and four negro schools.
The school directors are very'loyal," at least
as loyal as any one cursed with white skin
can be, as the following facts will demon
strate: They employ a white girl to teach
in one of the schools in District No.-2 at a
salary of $15 per month, and pay a negro
girl $25 per month to teach the young low
alists in negro school, making a differ
ence of only ten dollars per month in favor
of loyalty. In the same district, a young
man, so unfortunate as to have a, white
skin, is paid only $40 per month. These
nigger schools are supported from taxes
out of white mems pockets, all the negroes
in the township not paying as much tax as
one white man. Yet Dinah must be paid
$25 for the same labor that an aeoonlniish-
ed white girl performs for SIS. Truly rad
icalism isa beautiful Institution in all its
w0rkings.-GatEtpo tpots Dispatch. ~ z I

Col. Dever and Mr.. A. E. Marshall, the
first of Polk county and the second of At

city on mission Of beneVolence relating
to suffering poor people in the former
locality. We learn from them that at this
moment not less than twenty seven hun

county is far removed from all the lines of
communication, being twenty miles below
Rome, in that isolated region which was
completely exhausted by the war, and
known as Cedar Valley. We hope that our

chance, however, for brighter prospects af-
ter a while, which the drowned out unfor-
tupates of the low lands have not.
The I6erUiLLe South of the 9th says: The
weather for the past month has been unfa-
Vorable to the planter. Too much rain and
far too cold to advance vegetation. Most
of the fruit has beenid destroyed by the late
frosts, and the young corn killed will ne
cessitate replanting. Truly the very ele-
ments seem to have consplred against hs,

which a large portion of Southern Louisiana
is again subjected renders the future
gloomy beyond the. power of mere Ian
guage to describe. A
! : The Montgomery Mutg of the 18th says:
From personal observation on recent
trip to- Mobile by the Alabama River, we
were pleased to see a disposition on the
part of the farmers to plant this season a
Psuficiency of corn and grain. This should
be done by all MEANS Every plan
ter should first plant enough corn to do
him, and some to spare, before giving his
attention to cotton or nything else. If any
proof were wanting of the. great scarcity
of corn in Alabama at this time. 1t will be
only necessary to see the immense eargoes
of Western corn which daily leave Mobile
by the steamers navigating. the Alabama
River.e This corn is brought up here by
the boats, and a few sacks distributed at
almost every plantation along the bank. oi
the rivers. This is, indeed, a bad commen-
tary on the thriftiness OF Alabama plan
ters, many of them still believing it cheaper
to make cotton alone, and pay exorbit-
ant prices for Western corn when it i:
only necessary to plant a little and reap an
abundance. 10 Therefore, in view of the ter
rible destitutioD, we hope that every plan
I ter in Alabama will deem 1t his duty tC
plant as much, ifahot more, corn than he
can dispose Of. People can not eat cotton
