STOLEN nv INDIANS.

A story has been going the rounds OF
the press for some two years past, of a
boy who was stolen by the Indians, many
years ago, and lately recovered by his
parents. The Omaha Republican, having
its information from the relatives of the
captive boy, gives the following version
of the story THE boy, William Filley,
was stolen on the Sd day of August,
1887, by a party of Camanche Indians,
and continued in bondage for twenty
nine years. Vas with seven different
tribes, and can speak eleven different
dialects. He returned in 1866. After
remaining a year and a half with his
father, an irresistible impulse came on
him, to return to the Wild haunts of In
dian life, aud no i~ndueement could be
held out by his father to induce him to
forego his desire for the wild rowing life
OF the Indian and be content with the
customs and Injuries Of civilization. So
last spring, he babe his aged father and
friends farewell, and turned his back
upon the white mans home. and started
Tor the far west-tbe familiar scenes of
his earliest aud fondest recolleetions.
The loss, second loss, of his son William
appears to be a source of great affection
to the fsther-Mr, Ammi Filley."

EARTHQUAKE.
Personal EXpeFienCe--TWO
Strange stories.


From the New Orleans PIea. incl
Curious, and even funny things, some
times occur in connection with earth
quakes. We can recall, at this moment.
two anecdotes illustrating this fact.
4 highly respectable gentleman, re-
siding in Middle Tennessee, in describing
the first great shock which was felt in
that quarter il 1871, said that he was
asleep in bed at the moment, and being
reused by the shaking of the house and
furniture, he instinctively rushed into the
open air there the earth was trembling
under his feet, and the trees swaying to
and fro, as if they had each of them a fit
Of shaking ague. His first feeling was
one of dreadful fright and nausea. but
almost instantly the thought came into
his mind that the end of the world had
come, and his feelings changed to one of
pride and satisfaction that ne should be
among those who were to behold the
wreck Of matter and crush Of worlds. -
In the house was q guest who was Z merry,
rollicking fellow, very fluent in speech,
and rather given to testing on serious
things. He, too, had rushed out from
the house, aud was to be seen running
wildly about in a single aud rather brief
garment, and frightened into seriousness.
was trying to pray, but being Impractical
IN that line, could only utter the rhyming
nursery prayer

was felt st this estate and its vicinity.
and it was thought best to shorten the
visit and return TO town, to ascertain i'll

dust overhung the site Of the city, and

BAG Of doubloons il his hands.
