SroLEN.-Twenty three hundred dol
lars were stolen from the Berks county
Treasury on the 2nd inst. The treasurer
was engaged with tax collector, when
two strangers entered, one of whom
asked to have a one hundred dollar bill
changed. The treasurer requested him
to wait few minutes. The stranger
took up newspaper and placed himself
with the paper open in such a position
that the view of the vault door was hid
from the treasurer. The second party
then asked for drink, and stepped into
the entrance of the vault where pitcher
stood, and pretended to drink. lie did
more than drink he quietly took up one
of the largest packages of money and
handed it out of the window to a con-
federate, who was waiting to receive it.
The two men Immediately left the Office
The loss of the money was soon discov-
cred, but the thieves as yet are at large.

A queer story is told in the New
York correspondence of the Chicago
Tribune of two prosperous merchants in
West Broadway. One Of them was mar
ried, rather late in life. some two years
ago, and after he and his wife had gone
to housekeeping, he invited his t, How
merchant to pay them visit. The lat
ter went, aud was much pleased with the
new wife, who appeared to be very
young. They grew to be firm friends
he told her he could not resist the con.
viction that he had seen her before, al
which she laughed, and said that was
the impression received from all sympa'
thetic natures Their cordial relations
continued for good while. and one day
the mercantile admirer received a letter
from an intimate in Boston. informing
him that his friend had some time before
married m eccentric woman, Mrs,
who had the reputation Of being several
times divorced.
This set the admirer to thinking and
tracing out circumstances within his
knowledge. The result was, he discov
cred beyond question that Mrs.-the
wife of his friend, had. seven years
before, been his own wife, from whom
he had obtained legal divorce on good
and sufficient reason, Elk months after
their union. Anxious to corroborate
this, he went to Mrs, and asked her
if it was not so. She replied in the
affirmative, and without hesitation, ad-
ding that she recognized him from the
first. but did not care to impart any in
formation that he himself did not pos
ess She had been literally in the d.
vorce business, having had no less than
seven lieges in twelve years. She un-
derstood the art Of making herself look
young, and at five and thirty she did
not appear more than five and twenty.
1t was the art that deceived the friend

ALIFE MIRACLE.

A Mrs. King had surprise at Shawnee
town the other day. 1t vas an accident
that Mrs. King happened to be at Shawnee
town. She did not intend to go there, but
the steamboat Jennie Howell, on which
she was travelling, struck a snag and sunk
in the Ohio river. Several Of the passan-
gers were drowned, and among them some
children. Mrs. King had chilC on board
whom she mourned SIS lost, and was taken
to ShaWneetown without her babe. Ihe
Jennie Howell sunk deep in the water, and
the next morning men went to the vessel
to recover the bodies of the lost. Soon after
daylight mattress was discovered floating
ia the cabin, which was filed with water
nesrly to the ceiling. Upon examina-
ton child, little boy, was dis
covered on the mattress sleeping as
peacefully as if nothing unusual had hap
pened. His bed was not very dry, for it
had sunk good deal from soaking but still
sustained its living freight. In due time
the child was sent to Shawneet0Wn, where
the other passengers had been landed the
evening before. Its coming made an ex-
element among the wrecked travellers,
for more than one mother had lost
children by The disaster. 1t was a
touching scene when Mrs. King recog-
nized the child as her boy whom she had
mourned as lost or nearly twenty-four
hours. The preservation of Moses in the
bulrushes was not 50 miraculous as the
safety of Mrs. Kings boy. He had been
tossing about on the waste of waters In the
cabin all night, and was brought to his
mother a'i4e in the hour Of her deepest
woe.

ST.. LOUIS, Aug. 11.-Rev. Norman Bad

ern Texas, arrived here yesterday Ell route
for Washington. A scouting party re-
turned to Concha last Saturday week, after
forty days absence, bringing in 3 number
of stolen ponies captured from Indians off
their reservations, also the fresh scalp of a
white girl, thirteen years old, who with a
woman was killed and scalped on the
Staked Plain about two weeks before.

against the Camauches last fall, killed up
wards of hundred OF them. It was re-
ported at the time that he killed but %.
About three weeks ago band Of Indians
appeared near Old Camp, Colorado, shot
and stabbed Mrs. Williams, and also shot
little girl of Mrs. Williams, mashed her
head against door post and threw her
body into the fire. They then entered the
house, shot girl eight y ears old and car
ried her away with them. Mrs. Williams,
Notwithstanding her two wounds, crawled
into the house; pulled her little child out of
the fire, rolled her in a wet blanket and
laid her on the bed. Mrs. Williams hus-
band soon after returned, to whom she re-
lated the circumstances, and then died, but
the infant whose head was mashed nearly
to ajelly was still alive when last heard
from, ard would probably recover.
A band Of fifty to sixty Indians were
roaming about the country south of Fort

fend themselves.

to fright the souls of fearful adversaries,
was duly crushed out according to pro-
gramme; but before the weaker twin could
be served in the same wav, the uxorious
colored voter became power in the party,
and now polysamy, cspering nimbly in a
lady's chamber to the lascivious pleadings
of q Lutte, counts its secret Votaries among
the very elect of the loyal. Congressman
Bowen, of South Carolina, and United
States Senator Mitchell, Of Oregon, have
progressed SO far beyond Tie teachings of
Brigham Young as to patronize al Iibitum
marriage, in spite of law and religion. In
this they Loyalty countenance the taste of
their colored compatriots, and Sambo as
legislator and office-hoidor is not less addic-
ted to coDjugal variety than he was when a
feld-hand. The Hon. Matthew Gaines,
a colored senator from Washington
county, Texas, has just been convicted
of polygamy by a jury Of eight white
aud four colored men. His punishment
was fixed at one year in the State peniten-
tiary. Out IN Denver City, Rev. w. j.
Hardin,a colored orator, whose isbors on the
stump were rewarded with the position of
weigher in the United States assay office, is
threatened with q similar fate. 1t seems
that he had married loyal white woman
recently, and before the honeymoon had
waned he was confronted with the indig-
nant vissge of bis old Kentucky wife, who
claims that he deserted her and and
his children, went west to avoid the draft
duripg the war, and then wound up his
patriotic career as Republican orator, by
committing the crime of bigamy. Indica-
tons of this sort that the Republican party
has fallen into bad hands, and is become a
mere machine for enriching rogues aud
honoring rascals, are of every day occur
renee. The lesson they teach is the folly of
to party when nothing remains
of its original substance but the name, and
when long lease of power has converted it
into mass of corruption. Whether the
white man or the black is to blame for the
change, it is enough to know that the pres
ent Republican party is as unlike that of
1856-6O as Horace Greeley was unlike John
Nipple Mitchell or the fugi tive Bullock of
Georgia."

A QUESTION OF IDENTITY.

The st. Louis Republican intends that
1t is too soon to decide whether the Repub-
lican party is most indebted for its present
moral character to its colored or to its white
element; but the paper is sure it is not the
same patty that was so terribly exercised
about Buchanan's disregard of constitu-
tional limitations and his contempt for local
self-government in Kansas; and that it cam
not be the same party that was so shocked
by the reckless and prohigate expenditures
OF his administration and the political bias
OF the supreme court under it. But the
Republican proceeds to settle the matter
thus: "The question of identity is settled
when we compare the gnsts which were
strained at then, with the camels are swal-
lowed now. Moreover, there has been a
striking change in the leadership. The
men who led 'the party of freedom from
chaos into light, from impotent obscurity to
glorious triumph, are exiled from its coun-
ellis or buried brokeu-hearted in forgotten
graves, while its stupendous patronage
is chiefly controlled by men who Joined
it only when convinced they could not crush
it. Greeley and Chase, and Sumner and
Trumbull, were supplanted by Butler,
Grant, Creswell, and other supporters of
the Buchanan administration, not to men,
tion score or so of gentleman distinguished
for their support of the administration of
president Dayis. The nest we are asked
to honor because it was built by the great
apostles of freedom is full of surreptitious
fedglings now. Those that cry out of it
most clamorous for crumbs are batched
from cuckoos' eggs. So the large infusion
of African voters is not the only change to
be considered in determining who is respon-
sible for the appalling decentralization of the
Republican party. We know that the pollt-
ical union of white and black Repub licans
in welding the power of our govern
ment has resulted in prodigious corruption
such as neither race was ever guilty of bS
fore; we know that this union has produced
an organization without any moral, re-
semblance to the party from which it sprung
aud whose name it bears; but when we
anaIyze its characteristic delinq uencies, we
find them the product of the white polit:-
clans vices Tended with those of the joyous
African in such harmonious exaggera-
ton that both races stand acquitted
of its enormities--the compound is
worse than either of its compo'
nepts ever could or would make it. The
inventive daring of Wall street or the
thrifty genius of New England would have
been alone unequal to the conception and
execution of the preternatural rapacity
which tri1mphs now over the labor of the
cou try. The cearest manifestatio of Af-
rican influence in the party, aside from its
tendencies to hero worship and imperial
ism, is the polygamous propensities Of its
present leaders. The old Republican or
gAniz alton declared war against those twin
relics of barbarism, polygamy, and slavery
The later, having mounted barbed steeds
