SANTANA AND BIG TREE.-The
Houston Union, SAYS:

SANTANA AND BIG TREE.-The
Houston Union says:
These two noted Indian chiefs,
who are under sentence ofa life
time confinement in the peniten-
tiary ofTexas, yesterday paid our
city a visit. We can not say that
the visit was voluntary, for when
we saw them it was at that dis
grace to our city-the Jail.
These two noted chiefs have
for a long time been in Jail at st.
Louis, having been taken to that
city by the general government
for the purpose of holding IN In
dian council.
They were brought to this city
by Deputy United States Mar
shals ]. W. Morgan and G. F.
Newcomb, the latter being the
son of G. A. Newcomb, United
States marshal for the Eastern
District of Missouri.
These gentlemen were taking
their prisoners back to Huntsville
to serve out their sentence. The
chiefs were in remarkably fine
condition, and seemed to be in
good spirits. Quite an excite
mcnt was created at the depot.
Poor fellows, we fear they will
for some time to come be debar-
red from the exercise of their
innocent recreation of lifting
hair"

A CURIOUS CLlMATE.-The climate
of Peru is set forth by Il correspondent
as exceedingly peculiar and strange
1t never rains there, we are told, but
during certain seasons, and when the
atmosphere is filed with clouds, a
"dew falls so thick, heavy and contin-
IONS that it will satulatc the heaviest
clothing in less than half an bonr."-
The coming and the going of the
clouds that distill this dew is another
strange thing connected with Peru.
The changes are reported so rapid and
violent as to startle the stranger. One
may be walking along the street, glo-
rying in the rich warmth Of the sun
shine, and admiring the deep, clear
blue sky, when suddenly, and almost
imperceptibly, change takes place,
"ard from tile southwark mass Of
dark clouds come rolling swiftly across
the armament, and SOON the blue sky
is replaced by sombre pail, aud to
the glorious sunshine succeeds a driz-
cling, penetrating mist" And this is
as suddenly changed again, even while
one is preparing to guard against the
mist, the sunlight and sky reappearius
lin all their brightness and beauty.

BATHING IN Cold WATER.-Noth-
ing more common than a custom of
many persons to have cold bath wa.
ter Immediately on leaving their beds,
as daily habit. Delicately organized
ladies not unfrequently have establish
ed the same course, considering it con-
dusive to health. There is an impress
sion that it invigorates the individual,
hardeus the muscles and strengthens
the constitution. The Sudden abstrac-
ton of caloric nr vital warmth in that
way has not only injured bnt destroy
ed more than were ever benefited
thereby. A reaction, as it is called, a
glow Of warmth that subsequently fol-
lows, is a direct draft upon the system
to meet sudden loss of vitality, and
is by no means SO beneficial as tlleore-
ti:ally imagined. A tepid bath makes
no such injurious demands, and there"
fore is not injurious or perilous fol
those of frail structure.

r. An evening party for the little
folks was recently given in Brooklyn
by young miss of eleven, which even
adult ingenuity in methods Of extrava-
gance would have been bothered to
surpass. The dresses consisted of
white, pink, yellow, lavender, and cell
blue silk, deliberately trimmed an d
decked with spansles. The hair was
dressed in the latest style-flizzed,
pulled, powdered, and adorned with
flowers Four buttoned white k d
gloves wee generally worn. while
French kid boots, matching the dres
ses in color, encased the feet. A little
girl of seven years was dressed in a
rose colored silk, trimmed with point
applique hounces and covered with
gold and gems which brought the cost
of the outfit up to about $1,000, The
yonng gentlemen of nine to fourteen
were usually arrayed in black dress
coats, light pants, and lavender neck
ties, with the most dazzling profusion
and variety of rings, seals and watch
chains. The hair Of the elder youths
was parted in the middle and worn in
long floating locks. Music, dancing,
and filtration occupied the evening un-
til the supper at IL o'clock, after which
the gay assemblage dispersed.

GIRLs-DON'T TALK SLANG.-If it is
necessary that ony one of the family
should do that, let it be your big broth
err. though I would adsise him not to
adopt "pigeon English" when there is
an elegant systemized language that
he can inst as well use. But don't you
do it. You can have no idea how it
sounds to ears unused or averse to it
to hear a young lady say, when she is
asked if she will 60 with yon to some
place, "Not much!" or if requested to
do something which she dnes not wish,
to hear her say, "Can't SEE it,"
Not long ago heard a yonng miss,
who is educated, and accomplished; i'll
speaking Of yonns man say, that she
intended to ego for him !" and when
her sister asksd her assistance at some
work she answered "Not for Joe! !"
Now, young ladies Of unexceptiona-
BILE character and. really good educa
ton fall into this habit, it shows smart
ness to answer hack in slang phrases
and they soon slig fippantly from tI'eil
tongues with saucy pertness that is
neither lady like nor becoming. 81

The POSt-Ofice Embezzlement.
DISTRICT ATTORNEY BLISS AFTER JOHN
W. NoRToN--A QUESTION AT LAW.

John W. Norton. formerly Post Office
Money Order clerk, was indicted abont
a year ago on the charge of elubezzle.
ing $4,000. Horace Greeley and A.
Wakeman, Postmaster Ioncs' bonds
men had him arrested, and Mr. Wake
man became his surety, the bail being
$4,000. Norton was living in Plain
field, New Jersey. He had an ele-
CANT mansion, private race course.
and twenty-five fast horses, among
them being the famous trotter Othelo.
Norton turned over to Mr. Wakeman
about $4,000 worth of his property,
and the prosecution dropped.
When Colonel Bliss entered upon his
duties as District Attorney, he resolved
to have NortOn's case tried. The pen.
atty for the offence is imprisonment for
not less than six months nor more than
ten years, and fine equal to the
amount embezzled. A bench warrant
was issued and served by Deputh Mar
shall Crowlew on Saturday. Norton
was required to give bail in the fnll
amount, $ll5,000. f. Dalatiell Smith
Of counsel, argued that S35.OOO was a
fair sum, inasmuch as the prisoner had
yielded $4,000 worth Of property to
the bondsmen. Judge Woodruff con-
sented to accept that amount, and Mr..
Wakeman went on the bond, but two
sureties were required, ard as taesse-
cond was not forthcoming Norton was
held.
A portion of the funds $4,000 al
lodged to have been distracted by
Norton, was missed while Mr. Kelly
was Post master, and t he question
arises, are his bondsmen now respon
sible for sum embezzled at that time
the bondsmen having been released
and the bonds Cancelled 2 Next, can
the authorities hold the snreties of Mr.
Jones for embezzlement under his pre-.
decessor7 If not, the prosecution is at
fault. Mr. Wakeman is one of Norton's
counsel. He holds the $4,000, hav-
ing been made trustee for the honds-
men. The District Attorney contends
that Norton should furnish Sll5,OOC
bonds, because the property in Mr.
Wakeman's possession is beyond reach
In the argument before Judge Wood
ruff, Mr. Smith said that Norton was
promised if he yielded his property he
should not be prosecuted, and that of.
fetal consent was given.-[ N. Y. Sun

A MINISTER AND HIS FAMILY Fro
ZEN TO DEATH.-One of the most heart
rending cases of loss Of life by freezing,
occurred last week, about four miles
northwest Of Granger, in this county.
1t happened that on Tuesday, the day
the great storm hegan, Mr.. Evans, a
Welsh minister Of the Gospel, was
away from home with his wife and two
children. On his return in the eve
ming, the storm overlook him, and, it
appears, when within three. quarters Of
a mile of his own house, a snowdrift
stopped further progress in that direc-
ton. From the indications, it is snip
posed he took his Oldest child out of
the cutter, and carried it home, after
which, taking a couple of blankets, he
returned TO the cutter, wrapped his
frail wife in the blankets, and, carry
ing his babe, started for the house
again, but never reached it. In the
violent storm he lost his way, and with
his babe perIshed. Meanwhile, the
child that had been carried home was
waiting in the cold for the return of it's
father; the anxions wife was waiting
lin the cutter for her husband. Win
can describe her agony and the little
ones terrible suspense. 1t is all left
to conjecture. When the neighbors
called ut the house the Saturday fol-
lowing, it had Int a solitary little fro
zen occupant; the wife aud mother
was found a stiftened corpse; the horse
lad also succ"mbed to the raging
storm. How and where the un ortu.
nate husband aud babe were fonnd we

The New Hampshire Democracy.

The Democracy of New Hampshire
are the first to speak ont since the
Presidential election. The following
resolutions have the ring of the true
metal in them:
We. the Democracy of the State of
New Hampshire, in convention assem-
hled. here reafi:m, in the language of
the 7th article Of onr hill Of rights:
"That the people Of the State have
the sole and exclusive ri ght Of govern
ing themselves az free, sovereign and
independent State. and do. and forever
hereafter shall, exercise and enjoy ev-
cry power, jurisdiction aud right per-
tanning thereto, which is not or may
not thereafter he by them expressly
delegated tn the United States of Anne
RIGA in Congress assembled;" there
fore
Resolved, That we cordially invite
the cooperation of all patriotic citi
zens in opposing the evident purpose
of the present Administration to con.
solidate all power in the General Gov
ernment, and to accomplish the sub
version and final overthrow of all State
authority.
Resolved. That the necessity of the
reforms heretofore urged by US, be.
comes more and more apparent in the
fact that the President is attempting
to snbvert. by the lawless exercise OF
the military power, the recorded will
Of at least three States Of the Union
in the fact that he utterly ignores the
rules Of appointment to office which
Congress prescribed for his guidance,
Notwithstanding his OBSERVATIONS pledge
to the contrary ; and in the fact that
schemes are already maturing to dis-
sipate the small remnant Of our public
lands.
Resolved, That the only effective
civil service reform is that which les
sens the patronage Of the President
and limits it's eligibility to a single
term of Office.
Resolved, That the Credit Mohilier
4 frauds are the legitimate fruits of the
lawless, reckless and profigate policy
of the present Administration and it
is due to our national interest and hon.
or not only that the operators shall be
made to disgorSe their ill-gotten plum
der, but that the modes of government,
shall be restored to their ancient sim
pliclty and economy, so that jobbery
and robbery shall be alike impossible
: Resolved, That we emphatically con-
denim the illegal use of money in oul
elections, and pledge ourselves to ex'
pose and bring to condgn punishment
all who would degrade the elective
franchise by making a matter Of cor
rnpt bargain and sale; and we pledge
the best efforts of the Democratic par
ty to restore our elections to their an
Gent purity.

THE OLD, OLD STORY.

St
! / babe him good bye with laughing eye,
In careless, girish way;
Bur turned aside in time to hide
! The tear that was bound to stray;
Yet brushed il off with joyous laugh,
II had fallen by him unseen;
For he must not know ere turned 10 90,
What foolish girl I'd been.
He must not know why trembled so
Meath the glance of his dark blue eyes;
But back In my heart from whence IL would
start,
l must crush the rebel sigh;
| hurried along through motley throng,
But my eyes with tears were din.
And my heart was sors--it would beat no more,
With the hope was dear to him.
Forhis words were cold and his parting told
Me each warm love thr0b to still;
But my pas, ion wild like a hayward child,
Would yield not TO reasons will
had loved him long, though knew twas
wrong,
For he gave me no look, 10 word;
Yet passing me by with a careless eye,
The chords Of my heart were stirred.
I've seen him smile on the lovely. while
He has oftines frOwned on me-;
Yet his name aud face can ns'er erase
From the book 81 memory;
will keep them there, and oft In prayer
His dear name III wait above,
And the angels alone, when the night winds
moan,
Will hear Of my hopeless love.

Too True. An African preacher,
speaking from What is man profit
ed if he gain the whole world and
lose his own souls Y mentioned,
among other things. that they lost
their souls by being too charitable
Seeing the congregation astonished
beyond measure at this saying, be
very emphatically repeated il, and
then proceeded to explain its mean
ing. Many people, said he, 'atten-
ding meeting, hear the sermon, and
vixen it is over, they proceed to di-
vide it among the congregation
this part was for that man, and that
part for this woman; such denun-
Citations for such persons, these
threats for you sinners-and SO,
continued the shrewd African, they
give away the whole sermon, and
keep none for thensslyes.'

you know what prejudice is. Those
who form their opinions Of others by
what has been told them, or by mere
" seeing them pass by, look only
through thick fog, and cannot dis
Germ the true character. You may
be a friend of ours we may speak
hard things Of one you do not know,
and on this account you are prejl.
diced against him. Is it right T.
There are scores of excellent men
and pure women, Stunned and de-
pissed by those who know nothing
derogatory to their character, but
who have had their minds turned by
some one who spoke a thoughtless
word. Be careful. Don't be en-
vious. Never speak lightly or con-
temptaously of another on account
Of the prejudices of a friend. Men
