The Logan Republican gives
about a half a column of good,
solemn, sensible advice to the
Athens papers, bat it, will no
doubt 60 unheeded. The two pa.
pers aforesaid have been en-
gagged for a year past in airing
their supposed private griev-
ances through the columns of
their respective journals to the
disgust of the public, and the
injury of the party. The fight
appears to be over the loaves
and fishes. Each accuses the
other OF being the organ of a
ring, and from what we can
discover the accusation is true
on both sides. If the quarrel
continues the Democracy will
sooner or later carry Athens
county, and they ought to. In
our opinion they had better
dry up on both sides. The
thing has grown nauseating.
A newspaper in Athens county
devoted to the principles of
the Republican party and the
interests of the people would
be a change and would no
doubt be a paying institution.

AUTOBIOGRAPHIOAL SKETCH

crossing to the north side Of
the island | saw one of the
most pitiful looking objects Of
the human race l ever beheld.
Here on a bank of this island,
sat an old Indian squaw belong
ing to the Pawnee tribe. She
was fishing. She could talk
some English. Had l been a
believer in ghosts l should Ger.
tainly have believed this pitiful
object was one. She was the
most miserable looking shad
of a human being l had ever
seen. l went up to her. She
had a little wigwam built out
of hazel bushes. l told her
our condition; she rose 10 her
feet and went into her little
wigwam and brought out about
three pounds of dried fish and
gave it to me. l gave her IN
return a silver half dollar, and
returned to my companion, fol
lowed by the Indian. The fish
was quite u relief to me. She
took the nursing in her own
hands; she rubbed and worked
with him awhile and then gave
him some fish. In a few hours
he said he felt much better.
The old Indian woman said she
was 115 years old, and it was
the custom of their tribe when
any one got so old they could
not keep up to leave the m be.
hind to shift Tor themselves.
She said we were now within
% miles effort Kearney. This
was encouraging news to me.

panion up again about 3
o'clock. in the afternoon, and
left our old Indian friend, after
a warm shake of the hand. We
moved along slowly but stead
lily till night came on. We
had one pound OF fish left and
my friend ate the last of it.
AT 10 o'clock we stopped again
for the night, weary and weak.
We arose in the morning al
most starved, but l still hal
hope. My friend declared
again he would never rise to
travel on; he preferred death
to life. l was now more dis &.
couraged than ever. 1t ap.
peared to me he had the look
of death in his countenance.
Here alone on the plains of

all hopes of reaching the fort.
We were now both down ON
the ground, and began to cen

above. l knew we could live
but a short time longer unless
we could get some unexpected
aid. Our prayers were feeble
but earnest. The prairie was
