SETTLERS SUFFERING.

The Stockton Independent "is credi-
tably informed that many of the settlers
upon lands west of the San Joaquin river,
in San Joaquin, Stanislaus and Merced
counties, are at the present H~e in very
destitute circumstances, and some are really
suffering for the common necessarles OF
life. The failure of the crops for the last
two seasons has completely impoverished
them and they are reduced to absolute
want The accounts We have received
show most lamentable state of affairs,
and it the facts are as represented, an or
ganized effort should be made at once to
relieve these persons from their present
unfortunate position. There is every in
dicsrion that the coming season will be
favorable one, and farmers who are able
are disposed to cultivate as much land as
possible.
The land on the west side of the San
Joaquin is wonderfully productive, provid-
ed we have sufficient moisture. Many OF
these farmers who for the last two years
failed to make crop now have large tracts
Summer fallowed and ready for the seed,
and some of them in their great necessity
are offering from one-fourth to one-haif OF
their coming crop to any person who Will
furnish them seed for sowing Unless
they have aid they will be unable to pro.
cure seed and the land will remain unpro
ductive. Our capitalists, land owners and
grain buyers could easily render assistance
to persons desirous of cultivating these
lands, and by so doing they will confer
lasting benefits up on worthy and industri-
Gus citizens and also advance their own
material interests.
The subject is worthy the attention Of
our leading citizens, and we hope some
action will be taken in the matter. 1t GER
tainly is poor showing for the business
enterprise of our people il they allow a
two years drouth to depopulate large
portion of this fertile valley, and unless
the persons who have settled on those lands
are enabled to obtain credit until after an
other harvest, they will be obliged 10 seek
locality where there are greater induce
ments to the laboriug man.

AMONG THE RED MEN.

A correspondent of the Oakland News
thus communicates his ex erience of
visit to the wigwam of the Red Men:
was asked by friend one day, if
would join the Red Men. Said yes, any
thing to get out of the way of civilization.
Told me to 90 with him; did so.
He took me into room and left me.
An Indian with big nose, lot of beads
and large club, asked me what | wanted.
Told him that l was pale face and want
ed to follow the hunt. He told me to
wait while he went in. Pretty soon a big
Iniun come out, and wanted to know if
believed in the Great Spirit? Said yes;
old alcohol and l were good friends. He
asked if had ever been scalped, or had
run the gauntlet Told him never ran
the gauntlet, although | had run canal
boats for thirty years. Asked me it l
wore wig? Told him no, but my father
did.
l then made my marks in a book and he
went. In very little while two other
Iniuns came out; called themselves braves.
Thought could make either one of them
run: didn't try it though. Told me to
take off my coat; did so. They tied my
hands behind my back; bandaged my eyes
and put a strong belt around me; turned
me round asked me if | would have fire.
water? Told them they couldn't fre-water
at me. Took me inside; asked me if. l
believed 10 the elevation of mankind? Told
them | did, and then they elevated me to
the ceiling, and wanted to know how was
that for high?. Told them didn't know,
but thought it was pretty good for Lo.
They then lowered me and walked me
around over cobble-stones and stumps of
trees, and brushed me with coarse brooms
while the Tribe were singing "Shoo fly"
l was then asked if were man with
out fear? Told them was-had to tell
them something. The young lnjuns fed
NE with erasshopper and live lizards, and
told me twas very good schamuck
They then tied me to tree, and just as
they were going to brain me, squaw call
ed Pocahontas rushed between us, and saw
ed NE. Guess she thought was Capt.
John Smith They then took me before
an Indian whom they called Prophet; L
didn't profit much by his acquaintance;
he gave snake skin to give to the Hi-U-
Muck-a Muck.
Gave it to him, and he grabbed me by
the hair, and raised his tomahawk, and
would have raised my scalp, only the other
Injuns stopped him. fell on my knees
and tried to pray, but 1 could think of
nothing but
''Where, Oh where are the Hebrew Children?
Safe in the promised Land
Aud | didn't know for while but what
7 would have to 90 and meet them. They
then gave me some signs, so that | could
tell Red Man when [ saw one, and told
me how to tell spy. Then they took me
outside and told me tc work my way in;
thought 1t might not be healthy for me to
do so, worked my way home on the double
quick with some forty Indians at my back,
each one trying to gain possession of my
scalp, while at almost every jump yelled.

There is not law office nor law IL
brary left in Chicago, except the few small
duplicate libraries at the residences of the
leading lawyers. There is not paper
showing that there is suit pending in
any of the six courts of record in Cook
county, including the Federal court
There is not an Indictment in existence in
the county against any one, not judgment,
not petition in bankruptcy in the FEEDER
al courts. Even the duplicate files that
the lawyers kept in the Offices of important
cases are all gone. A few may have es-
capped by being taken to the houses for
Sunday or night work. We may add that
there are in Chicago about five hundred
lawyers

USEFUL INvENT1oN.-An instrument
has lately been invented that marks "the
ebb of time," showing how many minutes
there are prior to an event. If placed in
the post office it reads: "Mails open in
thirty minutes" one minute later it reads,
Gin twenty-nine minutes" then in twenty
eight, and so on. At at railway station
it reads "This train leaves in ten min
utes," then in nine ETC.. and when the
index reaches the train starts Thus any
passenger, on entering station, knows
just how much time he has for getting
tickets, checks. newspaper, and seat,
without consulting a watch or clock to
ascertain the hour of the day.

A Pitt burg lady recently called upon
an old man who had just lost his vile,
with whom he had lived for forty years.
She found him sitting, with folded hands,
in his lonely room, and while engaged in
conversation her eyes rested upon some
thing bright and soft which lay upon his
pillow With tremor in his voice he
said :'"Ah, madame, it is only my dear
wife's old wrappers. You may think me
childish, but at night put the sleeves
around my neck, and it comfort, me I"
Could human love find more affecting
expression

THE BEST HAVE THEIR FAILINGs.-

THE BEST HAVE THEIR FAILINGs.- -
A painter was once engaged upon like
ness of Alexander tbe..Great. In one of
his great battles Alexander had received
an ugly scar on the side of his face. The
artist was desirous of giving correct like
ness of the monarch, and, at the same time,
desirous of hiding the scar. 1t was a
difficult task to accomplish. At length he
hit upon happy expedient He painted
him in reflective attitude, his hand plac-
ed against his head, while his finger COW
cred the scar. The best men are not
without their failings-their scars-but do
not dwell upon them. In speaking ofthem
to others, adopt the painters expedient,
and let the finger of love be placed on
the scar

DEATH FROM FRIGHT-A man named
Mcdonald, wagonmaker at Shepherds
vile, who lived on the other side of Salt
river, started to walk across the bridge
from that point, which is very high, with
a rocky bottom beneath. In crossing the
bridge he stumbled and fell between the
ties, but fortunately, man ged to grasp a
tie with his hands, and there hung dang
ling, with one hundred feet of sheer fall
beneath him. .e was unable to regain
the top of the bridge, s but hung on with a
death grasp until his cries brought assis-
tance from the end Of the bridge. They
lifted him from his perilous position end
led him off the bridge.
Upon reaching the shore he sat down for
few moments, and seemed somewhat
overcome by the terrible danger through
which he had passed. When asked if he
was hurt, he replied that his leg was hurt
a little, and that he would go home and
put some liniment on it .,e got up,
walked few steps, and fell to the ground
dead. 1t was reported that he died from
the effects of injuries to his breast received
in the fall, but such it seems was not the
case. The physicians who carefully ex-
amined his body, say that there was no
bruise or wound sufficient to disable him.
much less cause death, and express the
opinion that his death was caused by fright.

Intellect is good thing to have, but
sometimes it doesn't 60 far enough. An
indiana cooper, finding some difficulty
in keeping one of the heads of cask he
was finishing in its place, put his son in-
side to hold the head up. After eomplet-
ing his work to his satisfaction be was as
tonished to find his boy inside the cask,
and with no possibility of getting out, ex-

MY OLD LOVE.

hear in the thicket the brooklet's fall
thrush on the little lilac spray
Sings as of old, the vesper song
Ofthe slowly waning day;
And the fragrance comes from the chestnut tree:
In the meadow where daisies blow,
As it came when the tender twilight came,
In the Springs of long ago.
Far over the dark and shadowy woods,
Comes floating the church BELLS chime,
And | wander and dream in the fading light
As l dreamed in the olden time;
When l fingered under the chestnut boughs,
Till hushed was the birds sweet strain,
And tie shimmering light of the moonbeams fell
On the leaves like silver rain.
But never again shall wait an watch,
In the hush of the sweet Spring night,
For a step in the depth of the rustling copse,
AID the gleam of garment white.
And never again meath the dew gemmed fow'rs,
Shall linger my love and I,
When the tremulous stars thro' the feecy bars
Look out in the Western sky.
Yet Joy which is nameless and strangely sad
Throbs oft in my hearts deep core,
As the sweet, sweet love of the days long fed
Is thrilled into life once more.
0, dear was l to tho heart that is cold,
And her love overshadows me still:
And the stars shine down on her grave to night
In the lone churchyard OF the hill.
