A TABLEAU OF DEATH IN AN INDIAN
1850 siI5i -.t- TENT 5t'' -

Yellow Hawk was shrewd old In
dian, who had abandoned his native
mode of life TO a. great extent and
gone to farming on the Peoria Bot
tom, a fertile piece of land in the, up
country. He had accumulated wealth
enough to purchase horse .andicart,
with which he has for the past few
years traversed the country and dis
posed of.the products of his farm to
the different iorts and posts within
his reach. He always carried with
him a canvas tent, which he would
pitch when he saw an approaching
About three weeks ago there pass
ed over Fort Sully terrible thunder
storm, On the day folloWingsa party
of men happened to run upon, a little
canvas tent pitched upon the river
bank, There were no signs of life
about it, and one of the men, out of
curiosity, went to it, and lifting the
canvas door stepped in.= =tl3 3 . IS -.
There, in one end of the tent, sat
Yellow Hawk, erect and rigid as
statue, with his eyes wide open, and
one hand firmly grasped on a dogs
neck, and the dog standing on his
fore legs, and partly sitting on his
launches, staring wildly in, the same
direction as his master, while on the
other side of the dog was the, wife Of
Yellow Hawk, resting upon her ell
boy upon the ground, and staring in
the same direction that the other .oc-
capants of the tent were gazing. The
man was inexpressibly terrified bv
the spectacle, and ms nrsr impulse
was to run; but there was something
SO wildly strange in their eyes and in
the general expression of their fea-
lures, that he was bound to the spot.
Not a muscle of their faces moved,
and they held their positions like
statues-they were dead! e iaa'El
The balance of the party were at
tracted to, the tent by the prolonged
absence of.ttAeirsY comrade, and they
saw the scene above described. They
left the tent without disturbing the
attitudes of the dead, and went on to
BSully and reported their discovery.

paired to the spot, and found them
still in the same positions. e It's !;

previous night, still there was no ev;-
dence that their death, was caused in
this manner Their features bore an
expression of fintensei fear, but there
were no signs Of the lightening's
work about them, or about the tent.
They were buried on the spot where
they were found by the Indians.

A few months ago an ardent swain
in Ohio, having made matters right
with the object of his affections, ap-
piled, as in duty bound, to the Pro-
bate Judge of Lake county for the
necessary document. The marriage
license was duly issued, the, wedding
came off, and the course of true love
was flowing smoothly in defiance, of
the proverb. But, a few days since, a
startling and original missiYe reached
the Probate Judge from the happy
husband. 1t ran to this effect: "DEAR
SIR: got married about two months
ago on the license you gave me. My
wife andI get along first.rate, and are
very we'll suited with each other.-

she had better not, too Now, what

better stay single. Please inform me

A FEARFUL PICTURE.

There is one disease called the black
death, the black plague, or the great
mortality. The most dreadful vista
ton of it was one that began in China,
spread over Asia, and in the year
l34S. entered Europe. Europe was
then, however, not unused to plaques.
Six others had made themselves IA
nous during the preceding eight and
forty years. The black plague spread
from the south of Europe to the north
occupying about three, years in its
passage. In two years it had reached
Sweden; in three years it had con-
quered Russia. The fatal influence
came among men ripe to receive it..
Europe was full of petty war; citizens
were immured in cities, in unwhole-
some housesoverlooking filthy streets
as in beleaguered fertreses; for rob-
bers, if not armies, occupied the roads
beyond their gates; husbandmen
were starving feudal slaves; religion
was mainly superstition; ignorance
was dense, and morals were debased /;
little control was set upon the pas
sions.. To. such, men the pestilence
came, which was said to have slain
100000 of Chinese, to- have idepop-
ulated India. to have destroyed in
Cairo fifteen thousand lives a. day.
Those were exaggerated statements,
but they were credited, and terrified
the people. Certainly vessels with
dead crews fioated about in the Med
iterranean. and brought corruption
and infection to the shores on which
they stranded. In what spirit did the
people, superstitious as they were in
those old times, meet the calamity
Many committed suicide in frenzy
merchants and rich men, Seeking to
divert the wrath of Heaven from
themselves, carried their treasure to
the churches and the monasteries,
where, if the monks fearing to re-
ceive infection with it, shut theil
gates against any such offering, ii
was desperately thrown to them over
the walls. Even sound men, corroded
by anxiety, wandered about and lived
as the dead. Houses Quilted by their
inhabilants tumbled to ruin. By
plague and by the flight of terrified
inhabitants, many thousand villages
were left absolutely empty, silent as
the woods and fields. The Pope, in
Avignon, was forced, because all the
church yards were full, to consecrate
as burial place the river Rhone, and
insure to the faithful all interment if
not in. holy ground, at least in holy
water How the dead were carried
out 'of town for burial in pits, and
how the terror OF the people coined
the fancy that through indecent haste
many were hurried out aud thrown
into those pits while living every one
knows it was the incident of plague
at all times. Italy was reported to
have lost half its inhabitants. The
I.Venetians fled to the islands, and for
sock their city, losing three men in
four; and in Padua, when the plague
ceased, two-thirds. of the inhabitants
were missing This is the black
death, which began towards the close
of the year l34S to ravage England,
and of which Anthony Wood says,
extrayagantly, that at the close of it
scarcely a tenth part of the people OF
that country remained living. s5oy ID

FpTcH on PoIYGAMY.-Wo are in re-
ceipt Of the Congressional Globe COLI
tanning the remarks of Congressman
Fitch on the Cullom anti-Polygamy
bill, Mr.. Fitch has always had n high
reputation for eloquence, but 1t has at
times been asserted by skeptics that
his talent lay mainly in vague and
fattering declamatlons, and that
though he undoubtedly possessed that
subtle power which enables the born
orator to hold his aHdience spell
bound, while he Is speaking, the charm
would be broken with the end of the
speech. and the cold report Of his utter
ances would show that his argument
was weak. though his rhetoric vas
strong. 4 careful perusal Of Mr..
Fitcii!s speech on the Cullom bill con-
vinces us that this assertion is wrong.
We have not met with q norc splendid
specimen of oratory, or q more mas
terly argument, for many years; and

A MAN SELLS His wrrE-SHERwF

A MAN SELLS HIS WIFE-SHEREF
IyTsnpRRgs WITH PURcHAsEn-We
learn from the Forest City Independent
that on the 23d ult. Deputy Sheriff
Wolf of Holt County, arrested and
locked ND n man named Wake, who
was indicted on the charge of adultery
at the last sitting Of the Grand Jury In
that county. 1t appears that an old
man married a young girl for his
second wife. Old man and young wife
didn't live In perfect bliss. Their
ways were not always smooth. Old
man was In partnership with young
Wake In the peaceful pursuits Of farm
ing. The young man being possessed
of enterprise, and of a disposition for
tradlne, proposed to buy tho whole
outfit. A bargain was struck, and an
inventory Of the property was taken.
Among numerous other articles the old
mans wife was niyoiced to the enter
prising purchaser for five dollars.
Everything seemed satisfactory until
the Grand Jury interfered with the
matter, and the officer Of tho law
lodged the young farmer In jail, to
await his trial at the next sitting Of
the Court. We opine that some curl
Gus things will come to light on that
trial, Perhaps the young man was
swipdled BY an older head, and paid
too much for his purchase. We hear
the property wife has been arrested
and sent up for trial also. Old man
has got his money and laughs.-S. 10.

The STATE PmsoN PRorERTY.-We
made mention last Saturday, in copy
ing an item from the Carson appeal
relative to q suit which had been
brought to recover the State Prison
property, that Mr.. r. NJ. Daggett, of
the Enterprise, could throw some light
rs to the relative titles to the premises.
That paper yesterday published the
following brief but candid statement,
which Is reliable in the matter:
We are unable to explain the character
Of Mr.. Treaduay's claim; but, IL derived
through Mr.. Alvah Mitchell, It cannot have
\ very substantial foundation in justice.
Mr.. Curry gave the Territory a title to the
prison grounds in 1868, and subsequently
Mr.. Mitchell put in a claim to il, on the
ground that Il came within the limits Of a
quarter or half section Of Government land
secured BY him through presumption. Atten-
ton being directed to this claim, q subse-
quent Legislature directed an inquiry into
the matter, aud il was settled, we believe, BY
a relinquishment OF the claim. At any rate,
the Attorney General, after a full investiga.
ton, decided that the title Of the State to the
property was perfect. But here it m
again, without a dollar in the State Treasury
to quiet its clamors. We presume tho
Attorney General will attend 10 it.

reigning monarch Is the Prince I'm

of Napoleon on the few occasions on
which he Is supposed to have appeared

plan originated with the late Emperor,
who feared European complications,
and that before his death he received
the promise from England, and ills
believed from Russia, that they would
aid In maintaining the Prince on the
