the position of Vice President on the tick

THE ABORIGLNE,S.
Winnebs goes Returning to their Old
HaunLs ma n "A n esOta.

The following from the La Crosse Republican
indicates that the Mnnerota Wlnuebagoes chat
were removed to the Upper Missouri IN 1868,
and placed on sandy, barren reservation, des-
titute OF woods, streams, game, or any thing to
make it attractive to the red man, aud ted on
soup till they were completely energated, are
returning to their first love IN the vicinity OF
La Crosse and Trempeleau rivers. some SIX y
old WinuebagOes have Just returned from near
Omaha. They came down the Missouri
river in canoes, took steamboat to Rock Island,
thence by canoe up the river to La Crosse.
They were joined by some forty Indians at
will come in from Black river and the Trempe-
leau. BY Wednesday they will number thirty
camps and two hundred Indians.
The Missouri party are accompanied by O1.
zhyp-ka, or ''Short Wing" tue most respected
and distinguished chief OF that nation. He was
at the Washington treaty in l846. When intro
duced TO the President and his Cabinet, secretary
Marcy remarked that his manner OF boWing was
the most graceful and impressive he had ever
witnessed. His face and forehead bear a
strikne resemblance to Andrew Jackson. lie
was born on the La Cros.e River, tour miles
from this city, in 1906, and gives vivid pictures
of those early days. He was tor many years
chief OF the Trempeleau band. He left Blue
Earth in 1862. Over eight hundred OF his people
on the Missouri, he saws, have died from star
walton and suffering since they went there.
The Indians VIII give their feast aud dance on
Wednesday afternoon, on the euee OF the grove
below town, when they Will Oe in readiness Ia
entertain their white friends. 1t Will be rare
and interesting spectacle. The cheI ana ms
band arrived here destitute, and our people Will
no Doubt, be glad TO contribute some What tC
their immedia,e needs. They were received
with much kind less at st. Louis. The Mayor
made a little speech at their dance, aud the clA
Zens gave them $l60 in money and provisions
Their hsl-0reed interpreter and treasurer ne
camped the same evening with all the money
After the dance here, the Indians will make fo
the Berry Indians.

The Spice of Editorial Life.

The Springfield (Mass.) Republican of July 27
says:-
The even tenor of the editorial life of our
friends Of the EUening Neocs was rudely broken
in upon on Saturday afternoon, at about 3
o'clock, by personal attack with a rawhlde
made Vi on Mr.. +. Fl. Sterns, one of tue proprle-
tors and editors, by John l.. Rice, marketman
of this city. The cause was a brief paragraph
in the NeIcs of the previous evening, mention
ing no names, but relating little incident in
the Lille OF an officer in the late war, for whose
repori ed death a young lady had worn mourn
ing, aOd who on his safe return had Tilted her:
and adding that he kept meat market in this
CITY.
Mr. Sterns was marking his bulletin board
when the man entered, who, after ascertaining
that he was one OF the editors of the Ne,cs, and
held himself responsible ior the paragraph
alluded to, drew forth rawhide and struck Mr..
SEEMS over the head and shoulders about
dozeE blows As the assailant is much
stronger man than MIR. Sterns, resistance would
have been mere folly, and none was made. Tue
editor ascer aiued his name, and at once pro-
ceeded to enter a suit for damages against him.
Probably not a score Of pero in Springfield
knew on Saturday morning tFat he was the
individual referred to As guilty OF what is, after
all, an act as common as 1T is ineXcusable, but
on Saturday evening it is unlikely that there
were sco,e who did not knowit. If Mr.. Rice DE-
sired srcresy he took singular means to retain
it, and has gained instead disagreeable and
extensive notorlety.

The Great Famine i'm Morocco.

The Paris ConStitutSonne, gives an account of
the famine in Morocco, which is producing the
most disastrous effects amongst the Mussulmau
populations. The harvest has been total
failure, and for such gram as can be imported
enormous prices are demanded. The situation
is de cribed as worse than that of Algeria.
Numbers OF persons are constantly dying Of
hunger. The roads are covered every morning
with the dying aud the dead. Tue rich are
powerless to save these poor creatures; and the
number of those who have perished, either of
hunger or the epidemic, is estimated at one
fourth of the entire population. ut is not, as
will be SEEM" says the C0Rstituttonnet, algeria
alone that has just passed through deporable
crisis. Iu Tunis, as in Morocco, the populations
ravaged with cholera, ruined by invasions of
locusts such as were never before seen in the
memory of man, and suffering two years of
drought, have, in the summer of 1868, been
JlunIed into the deepest suffering. Fortu-
narelv, in Algeria good harvest has repaired,
so tar as il was possible, the losses experienced
by those tribes, and the wants of the coming
winter NAV be met by the provisions made for
giving employment, by the exercise of charity
and various kinds OF assistance iudiciously rem

Another Connecticut Financial Lanse.


The Bridgeport Comm Standard of July rs
says:-- WIN. .
On Tuesday of this week. July 81, check was
presented Vt the counter of the Connecticut
National Bank of this city, drawn for $4 75717
on the United States Treasurer, New York city,
and purporiing to be signed by ]. K. Barnes,
Surgeou-GeneIal United States army. The
cheek was in favor OF DIR. James B. Smith, late
Assistant Surgeon United States army, and was
so endorsed by the latter. The check was car
rIed TO Smiths account with the bank, and he
Immediately thereupon drew against the same
to the amount Of S3525. About o'clock p. NJ.
on the 23d (ThuIsday) the bank. through its New
York correspondent, received intelligence that
on presentation OF the check at the United States
Treasurers office in that city mo account" was
kept there by the drawer OF the check. This of
course, led TO an immediate investigation by the
bank here and in New York city, which resulted
In satisfying the officers of the same that the
signature of the drawer was skilfdl forgery.
They further ascertaned that Smith, who, after
drawing the money, remained In this city and
vicinity, left Bridgeport bv the eleven O'Clock
p. NJ. steamboat for New York on Wednesday,
the 22d, under the name OF "Dr. Crane" They
further traced him to the South American
steamer Merrimac, which left Ne v York for Rio
Janeiro via ST. Thomas, on Thursday, the 2Sd,
at three p. NJ, having Smith on board, under
the name OF "Dr, E. X, Crane, Assistant Sur
geon- General United States Army" Although
the bank officials followed up their inyestiea-
tlons with the utmost zeal and determination,
the search only resulted in the discovery that
Smith was some twenty four hours over the
seas and far away"
Dr.. Smith has for q year or two past been
known in this vicinity as a practising physician
in Nichols Farms, Trumbul: was reported TO
have removed there from Yonkers, and to have
been durlug the war an assistant surgeon in the
armv. Smith was a man of good appearance
and address, and was reported to be a skiful
surgeon and physician. He had been, during
his residence in this vicinity, frequent visitor
az the bank in business capacity. His standing
in Nichols Farms, and IN this city, where, he
was well known, was good The check used in
the transaction was the usual blank form used
IN drawing on the Assistant Treasurer United
States.

Newspaper Laws.

Postmasters are required to give notice by
letter when a subscriber does not take his paper
from the office; and give the reason for its not
being taken. Neglecting to do so makes the
postmaster responsible to the publisher for the
payment.
Any person who takes paper regularly
from the postofice, whether he has subscribed
or not is responsible for the payment of the
subscription.
A person ordering his paper discontinued
must pay all arrearages, or the publisher may
continue to send it until payment is made, and
collect the whole amount, whether it is taken
from the Office or not.
The courts have decided that refusing to
take paper and periodical from the posofice,
or removing aud leaving them uncalled for, is
prima .tdcie evidence of intentional fraud.

Selections for a Newspaper.

Most people think the selection Of suitable
matter for newspaper the easiest part Of tbe
business. How great an error Itis the most
difficult. To look over and over hundreds Of
exchange papers every week, from which to
select enough for one especially when the qucs-
ton is not what shall but what shall not be
selected, is no easy task. Heyery person who
reads a newspaper could have edited it, We
shouldhear less complaints. NotunffequentIy
is it the case that an editor looks over all his
exchange papers for something interesting aud
can find nothing, and yet something must be
had-his paper must come out with something
in 1t, and he does the best he can. To an edl-
tor who has care about what he selects, the
writing he has to do is the least Of the labor
Just as many subscribers as an editor may have
SO many tastes he has to consult.

Little Things.

The preciousness of little things was never
more beautifully expressed than in the follow
ing morceau Little martin boxes Of homes
are generally the most happy and cosy little
villages are nearer to being atoms Of shatter-
cd paradise than any thing we know of; and
little fortunes bring the most content, and little
hopes the least disappointment. Little words
are the sweetest to hear; little charities fly
furthest and stay longest on the wind little
lakes are the stillest, little hearts the fullest,
aud little farms the best titled. Little books
are the most read, and little songs the most
loved. And when nature would make any
thing especially rare and beautiful, she makes IL
ittle-little pearls, little diamonds, little dews
Everybody calls that little that they love best on
earth. We once heard good sort Il man
speak Of bis little wife, and we fancicd that She
must be a perfect bijou Of awife. We saw
her. and she weighed 2lO: We were surprised
But then il was no joke; the man meant H.

CHARLESTOWN, THURSDAY, AUGUST 13 1868.
Boy Love.

One of the queerest things to think OF In
after life is boy love. No sooner does boy
acquire tolerable stature than he begins to
imagine himself man, and to ape manish
ways. He casts side gances at all the tall girls
he may meet, carries cane, holds his head
erect, and very soon falls in love-yes, falls is
the proper word, because it best indicates his
happy, delirious establishment. he lives now
in fairy region, somewhat collateral to the
world, and yet blended somehow inextncably
with it. He perfumes his hair with fragrant
oils scatters essences over his handkerchief, and
despairingly shayes and anoints for beard.
He quotes poetry in which Glove" and "dove."
and "heart," and "dart," peculiarly predomi-
nate; and he plunges deeper into the delicious
labyrinth, fancies himself filled with divine
afflatus, and suddenly breaks into scarlet rash
of rhyme. He feeds upon the looks of his
beloved is raised to the seventh heaven if she
speaks pleasant word, is betrayed into the
most astounding ecstacies by smile, and is
plunged into the gloomiest region of misan-
thropy by frown. He believes himself the
most devoted lover in the world. There never
will be another such. He is the great idolator.
He dotes upon the flowers she has cast away.
He cherishes her gloves--a little worn in the
finger, next to his heart. Happy, happy, fool
ish boy love, with its joys and its hopes, and its
tears, its SORROWS its ealousies, and its delights,
its raptures and its tortures, its solemn lud-
crousness and intensely prosaical termination.

The Folly of Quarrel.

Two little boys were talking together; when
one of them said, "I wish I had all the pas
ture-laLd in the world" The other said,
" And | wish l had all the cattle in the world" "
What would you do with them'' said his
friend. Why, l would turn them into your
pasture-land."
No, you wouldn't" was the reply.
"Yes, would"
"But wouldn't let you"
Il wouldn't ask you"
"You shouldn't do it," he screamed.
Il should"
" You shan't."
81 will !" and with that they seized and
pummelled each other in a rough-and-tumble
fight.
Such is a specimen of the cause for which
people often quarrel
