TRADING ON THE PLAINs.-Wlth their
whisky tue Cheyennes proceeded to the
Klowa village, exhibited their bottles and
dispensed smells from uucorked bottles Of
corn juice-giving judicious shake or two
to the bottles, that the aroma should be
more entirely appreciated by their friends
tie RioDds The smells were freely taken,
and produced an uncommon desire to know
more of the Cheyennes; pipes were produced
and duly smoked; after which the visitors
announced their willingness to trade. "They
had not brought much whisky, as they did
not know that their brothers the Kiowas
wonld like to see il. rhe little which they
had with them was good, and very strongi
when the Kiowas had tasted OF II they

he would give so much for a robe (holding
up the bottle and marking with the thumb

of the thumb on the bottle. A general ex-

had no more consideration than New York

regarded with too close a scrutiny on the
part of the robe sellers to permit Of any

Daniel Boone.

The proposed celebration OF the centennial
anniversary of Daniel Boone's arrival in the
Ozark and Bloody Ground" is likely to be
postponed until the 7th of June, 1869. The
Frankfort leOmaa announces officially that
tue commitiee-of which the editor ''is one
oi whom"-who were appointed to make ar
rangements for the celebration, have con-
cuded to let the matter 20 by default-to
postpone II for another hundred years. Sew
eral reasons are given for this determination
on The pat of the committee, among which
ls The TACT that General Breckinrdge having
Important business TO attend to in the North
west, was compelled to decline the invita-
ton TO deliver the address of the occasion,
and no other orator could be found who
would be likely to draw" sufficiently to
make the celebration as complete a success
as II should be. In addition TO this, and to
thoother relsnns, the YeongR gives the fol.
lowing
s'Esf 4. in he esrs nittsa which had been
3electe. vita view 10 the intelligence and
siandhifoi 1hc gentlemen, we found some
who raised objections to Boone's moral
character, and expressed their unwilllngness
to do anything TO magnify the name OF
fellow who had left his wife for ten or If
teen years, to come out West and fight In
dians."
II is possible that these gentlemen are too
severe upon the lamented Boone. 1t may
be that there was really nothing immoral In
his conduct, suspicious as it seems to have
been. For Aught they know he may have
thought it more moral to fight the Indians in
the West than to Eight his wife IN North
Carolina We don't pretend to say that his
wife was not very exemplary woman; we
don't know whether she was or not; we
don't know anything about her; but these
more rigid members OF the committee ought
TO remember that the wives of hundred
years ago were not all Martha WashIngtons
that so far from it, on the contrary, you
would now and then come across one who
was-well, not quite so sweet and gentle as
a cooling dove. We hope and believe that
OLD Mrs CoOne didn't belong to this class;
but we are very much afraid that she didn't
make Daniel as snug aud comfortable at
home as she ought to have done. We don't
believe lie would ever have discovered
Kentucky if she had. Taking this view OF
the case. ii is not fair for the committee to
go back on Boone on account of his moral
character. If Mrs. Boone didn't complain of
his conduct at the time-and we have never
heard that she did-it doesn't become US to
conpain of 1t hundred years aftorward.-

we quaffeled This morning, wife and l.
we We're out OF temper, and scarce knew why,
Though the cause was trivial aud common;
But TO look IN our eyes you'd have that We both
were couple Of enemies, spitefu and wroth-
NOT a welded man and woman.
Wife, like tragedy queen in play,
Tossed her sweet little head In as LOFTY a way
As so little woman was able
Sne s e. elenehed her lips with sneer and irown,
WINE !, being rougher, stamped up and down,
Like careless groom in q stable.
You'd have thought us the btterest isaeng us them
Oi little women and little mem
You'd have laughed at our spite and passion
Aud would never have dreamed that storm like this
Would be ranbow'd to tears by that sunlight kiss,
Till we talked In the old fond iaahion.
Yet the storm was in less than an hour,
And was followed soon by a sunny shower,
And that again by embraces
m Yet 50 little the meaning was understood,
That we almost felt ashamed 90 be good,
And wore "a blush on our lares.zs
Then she. as woman, much wiserbecame,
Aud tried 10 bear the whole weight OF the blame,
By her Kindness her seli-reproving;
When seeing her humble, and knowing her true,
l all at once became humble too,
And very contrite and loving.
But seeing acted an humble part,
She laughed outright with a froic heart
A laugh as careless Cupid
And the laughter wrangled along my brain,
Till almost felt in a li1iion again,
And became quite stubborn and stupid.
And this was the time for her arms 10 twlne
Around this stubborn neck of mine,
Like the arms of maid round lover;
And feeling them there, with their warmth, YOU know,
laughed quite different laugh, and so
The storm tas called ~ was over.
So then we could talk with the power to please;
AS though the passing of storms like these
Leaves a certain felicity
OF getting easily angry again,
Yet they free the heart and rebuke the brain,
And teach us rough humility.
You see that we love another SO we'll,
That we find more comfort than you can tell
In lingling our bells and eoras;
In the hercer fights of a world drear,
We keep our spirits close and clear,
That we need such trivial quanela.
IN the great fierce aghta of the world try
To shield one another. my wife and |,
Like brave strong man and woman
But the trivial quarrels Of days and nights
Unshacke our souls from the great fierce fights,
And keep us lowly and human.
Clouds would grow in the quetest mind,
And make II unmeet TO mix with its kind,
Were nature less wise a mother
Aud with storms like ours there must fiutter out
From the bosom the hoarded.up darkness and doubt
The excess Of our love for each otherl

RUssTA's MOVE ON CoNsTANTINoPLE.-
The report is current in Europe that the
Emperor Alexander has decreed the remo-
val of the capital of the Russian Empire
from st. Petersburg TO Kiev, on the river
Dnieper. A palace Is now building for him
at the latter place, and the Empress has pur-
chased large estate there. II this report
be true,i is one of the most important move
ments which Russia has made for many
years Not only is it formal advance upon
the grand system of policy devised and com
menced by Peter the Great for civilizing his
empire and incorporating il into the family
of European nations, but il is an announce
ment to the world that the designs of Russia
upon Turkey are hencelorth to be steadily
and unrelentnglY pursued. Kiev is 67O
miles nearer COnstantinople than st. Peters
burg il is within 300 miles OF the port OF
Odessa, ON the Black Sea and, by the aid
of the railroads built and soon to be built it
is point upon which, in the shortest space
OF time, the whole military force of Russia
can be concentrated, ready to march imme-
diately upon either the Turkish or the Hun
| garian frontier. OF course, IL will speedily
be made an immense depot of military
stores, and in the event of a war would be
both convenient as military base, and as
the Headquarters OF military and civil gov
ernment. The selection of the new capital
is also significant in another aspect. Kiev
is the great religious metropolis OF Russia.
Before the conversion of the people to Chris
tianity it was the seat of their breathen
worship, and the avantages OF location and
association which lead 10 its eminence then
continue aud maintain that eminence now.
Within its precnts are the palace of the
Greek Bishop, the venerable cathedral of St.
Sophia, founded in 1887, and numerous
other churches, the famous PelcherskOi
monastery, the catacombs OF ST. Anthony
and ST. Theodosius, filed with the bones OF
! Christian saints and martyrs, and a thou
sand other objects of religious respect to the
devout Russian. AS the Emperor is the head
of the Russian Church as well MS civi
ruler, his taking up lis residence in a spO
hallowed by so many sacread memories ant
attractions may reasonable be regarded a
evidence of an intention to do everything II
his power TO strengthen that personal hole
upon the affections of his subjects which ha
always been so remarkable an element o
the strength OF the Russian empire.

A SPIRITED AcTREss.-Friday evening,
at the Varieties Theatre, st. Louis, while the
Can-can was being danced, a number of
bouquets were thrown on the stage 10 the
female performers. When Mile. Conchita
Ronzati came bounding forward to the loot
lights near the private box on the lett side
OF the theatre, young man, who was in the
box, threw her bouquet; she stopped
dancing in second, and bonded like an
antelope into the box, seized the bouquet
thrower by the hair OF the head, and admin.
istered to him several small singing slaps
on the jaws. Leaping back TO the stage
she picked up the bouquet, which was still
lying there, and dashed It in his face, the
audience cheering voiieTously all the time
She the resumed the dance.-Nei0 Al5anl

AN ELEPHANT BREAKS LoosE.-Van
Amburgh's Menagerie exhibited at Lyons
ON the 9th inst. The huge elephant attach
ed TO the establishment broke loose at night
in the absence OF his keeper and made a
display OF his strength. The Democratic
Press says: ellis keeper was at his lodgings
and the night watchmen in charge seeing
their inability TO control the monster, imme
dialely dispatched a messenger Tor him.
Before the arrival of the keeper the elephant
showed unmistakable symptoms ol "Going
on IA tear" and commenced operations by
catching one of the educated mules with his
trunk and hurling him distance of come
twenty feet against the rear of the cage con-
tanning the elk, nearly demolishing it., and
severely iniuring the mule. The appearance
OF his keeper put an end to further depreda-
tions, aud the elephant was securely ias-
tened. We have heard no probable cause
assigned for the sudden outbreak OF temper
on the part of the elephant; but as they arc
liable to such freaks, we are reioiced that nj
| greater damage was done. Had the cage
which was stove IN by the body OF the mule
] contained some of the more noisy and fero-
1 cious animals, there can be no prediction
made as TO the ultimate results OF the ele
plants rage.

A SINGULAR OCCURRENCE IN ATLANTA.
The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle OF June 4th,
furnishes the following:
The Atlanta papers OF yesterday have but
very little to say with regard TO the row in
that place on Tuesday night, and the subse-
quent action taken by Gen. Terry. Ii seems
that E. b. Pond, proprietor OF the National
Hotel, Gen. Terry and Gov. II. B. Bullock
were seated IN front OF the hotel at about o
O'Clock, conversing together, when Gaines
Chisolm, a well-known sporting man OF At
lanta, approached the party, followed by
five or SIX OF his friends. In his hand CHS
olm carried bucket, partly concealed be
hind him, in which was a very offensive
compound. When within lew feet of Pond
Chsolm halted and asked Pond whats
trumpsP P' Pond, not seeing the fatal bucket
made some reply, upon which the sport
exclaimed, "Well, 1t my play now" and
emptied the contents of the bucket on Pond s
head, deluging him from head to foot, and
also splashing liberal supply OF the oiien-
siye material on the persons OF the Com
mandant of the Department and the Gov
ernor of the State of Georgia.
AS the astonished and besmirched officials
started from their seats, scarcely knowing
what to think of the unexpected shower
bath, one of Chisolm's friends fired pstO
IN the ground in order to draw a crowd anC
make the joke public property. On hearing
the firing large crowd OF course COLLECTED

WHITE AND hED MEN.-Ine endurance
of the white man, when fairly tested against
that OF the Indian, will be found equal, If not
superior to it, as not few small bands of
Indians have discovered TO their cost, when
they have taken advantage OF an unguarded
moment to stampede the horses Of Plains
men or scouts. Years have passed since the
December day when, just at the crack
of dawn, a small band of Arraphoes, that
was en- route from the forks OF the Platte to-
ward the south, took every hoof of stock
from party of hunters, whose camp had
been for two days some twenty miles west of
the island where Forsyth and his scouts
made their gallant fight last fall. The Indi-
ans did not fire a shot. They were after the
stock, and not fight; so through the camp
they went bowling like demons-each Indi-
an armed with a buffalo robe, which he
swung through the air, frightening the po-
uies int breaking larlats and drawing knots
and picket-pins But the stock was not 80
cheap, alter all; two Indians left their re-
mains as a wTetched equivalent for nine
good saddle animals. Give the devils their
due; the stampede was q success, and little
party was aloot that did not take kindly to
the situation. Before sun-up that same party
was on the trail of the stolen stock carrying
just as little dNgls (food and clothing) as
could be made into a small pack for the
back. The story Of that trail would be too
long narrative. Day after day the little
/ band toiled, the greater portion of the time
through snow which had crusted just sufa-
! GENTLY to break through under foot. The
suffering for food was intense enough to
make any live animal a coveted treasure.
But TWO Of that party are now alive. Ono
by one the Indians got them. During the
