A ROMANCE OF THE BORDER

Strange stOry.0f Two Endian CaPttvs
Love and EsomRnce An the wilder
ness.
| On Wednesday last a strange,
| looking party visited the office Of
the Chief of Police, and during
their stay the following particulars
concerning their history were given,
and in a manner so simple that no
doubt of their truth could be en-
tertained:
The mans name is Kimball, and
his companions were his wife and
child, In 1S4S he was captured by
the Indians when on his way to
California, and carried into the inte-
rior. He was not treated cruelty,
bat his escape was carefully pre-.
vented, and years elapsed and he
remained still a captive. Gradually
he became accustomed to Indian
life and half reconciled to its wild
freedom and Savage accompani-
ments. After eight or ten years had
passed he met among the Indians of
another tribe a young American
woman, who, although not only res
ident but thoroughly domesticated
among the savages, retained the
marks of her parentage. We need
not describe the incidents of their
intimacy. Love vows are quickly
consummated under such cireumr
stances, and in due time Kimball be-
came the husband of the Indian
American girl, and they continued to
live among the Indians, enjoying a
fair share of happiness. Kimball
learned that his wife had been cap
tured on the frOs-tier when a child,
but was so young at the time that
she retained no remembrance of her
parents or friends, or of the circum-
stances under which she was carried
oil.
In the course of time the husband,
who had learned the Indian
language, taught his wife to speak
English, and an imaginative man
may picture them sitting over the
camp fire and telling of the strange
destiny which had shaped their lives.
1t is not surprising that they ulti.
mately framed the desire of regain
ing civilization. The birth of their
child made the father the more
anxious to carry this into effect,
and he has at last succeeded, his
wife accompanying him. On reach
ing the frontier they were without |
money, and were considerably de
layed, but finally managed to reach
this city. This mans intention was
to reach, if possible, Springfield, |
Illinois, where, he says, he formerly |
had some relatives, and then, if he |
could obtain some means, to go on
to New York, where he had a brother |
living. Their visit to the chiefs |
office was in search of transporta
ton to Springfield, and they were |
referred to the Mayors office.
Kimball is fully versed in Indian |
manners, and exhibits also, we re-
greet to say, truly savage proclivity |
for 'fre water" otherwise whisky. |
He can give the war whoop dance, |
Indian dances, and, in addition,
performs sundry athletic feats which
are quite remarkable. We must not
forget to add that he and his wife
the liveliest affection for
each other, and appear contented
and happy. The boy is exceedingly
bright, and speaks English well, and
Indian better.-.T. Louis RepubH-
can

Disastrous Hurricane Throughout
the Country.

the Country.
The journals from all parts of
this country are filed with details
of the damage done by a terrible
gale during the night of the 18th
ult. In Brussels the roofs Of a
large number of buildings, and
among others of the Institution for
the Blind, were stripped of their
zinc covering; chimneys were
blown down, and the streets were
strewn with tiles and states. In
the Rue des Seurs- Noires the shaft
of a brewery fell on an adjoining
house, crushing in the upper story,
but fortunately without personally
injuring any one; and on the Bou-
levard du Midi wall was leveled
with the ground. The public prom
enades suffered greatly, not less
than ffty-five well-grown trees
having been broken off at their
stems or turn up by the roots; five
of the largest in the Bots de la Cam
bre were also destroyed. At Ant
werp some accidents occurred from
| vessels being driven from their
moorings, and a train from Brus-
sells was forced to stop between
Contich and Viex-Dieu in conse-
quence of a large tree having been
blown across the line, breaking the
telegraph line in its fall. The
express to Ostend arrived three
hours late in consequence of an &C
cident at Trochiennes, three of the
posts On which the electric wires are
carried along the railway having
been torn up and cast on the en-
CINE and foremost carriages as they
passed the chimney of the loco
motive was broken and assistance
had to be sent for to Client
At Liege the streets were quite
deserted after nine in the evening
as tiles and chimney-pots were fly,
ing in all directions the spire O
the church Of ST. Loup was blown
down, and at the cathedral severa
yards of the roof were stripped o
the lead. Similar accounts are alsC
received from Mons, Client and

place the zinc covering Of q house
was torn off and blown to a distance
of more than forty yards. All alont

A LITERARY COINCIDENCE.-A paral-
lei to some of Disraeli's "Curiosities Of
Literature" was furnished by the expe-
rience of the two eminent divines, Bishop
Simpson and Rev. VIM. Morley Punshon,
who officiated at the Metropolitan Meth
Odist Church in this city on Sunday-the
former in the morning and the latter in
the afternoon. A newspaper reporter
called on Mr.. Punshon little before the
hour assigned to him, and asked to. look
at the sermon he had prepared, with a
view to markings correct synopsis Of it
for publication. Mr.. P replied that he
had indeed prepared discourse for the
occasion, and would be happy to oblige
the reporter; but, curiously enough, and
unfortunately for him, Bishop Simpson
had spoken in the morning from the
identical text he had himself selected,
and covered the general and particular
grounds he had expected to go over in
the afternoon. Instead, therefore, Of
having a sermon to show at that time
he had new one to prepare, suitable to
the occasion-W Washington Star.

THE GREAT ASTRONOMICAL EVENT
I'm Isz4.


The passage of Venus across the
suns disc in 1874 is coming event
which has already attracted the at
tention of the Minister of Public
Education and of the Academy of
SCIENCES in Paris. The Minister has
decided that an expedition ofaston-
omers and photographers should
be started to Australia, and in q
letter to the Academy, which we
find published in a French journal,
he asks that body what other
points should be chosen for observa-
ton what instruments should be
prepared, and whether other as
Economical facts might not at the
same time be investigated by the
expedition. He is not unwilling
that some foreign astronomers
should be invited, declaring it to
be the intention of the Emperor to
give tathe expedition the character
ola great scientifc'eampaign in the
southern hemisphere.
When we consider that a cloudy
sky may possibly Illustrate their at
tempt, just as it did to a damaging
extent during the last solar eclipse
which was to be observed at Alden,
in the East Indies, we cannot but
admire the scientific zeal of these
old civilized countries, which, years
before an unusual celestial event,
inaugurate expensive preparations
for its observance at the risk of
their being frustrated by an occur
