Satanic and Biz Tree at Home.

A correspondent OF the Galveston
(Texas) .News tells OF "big talk
which Satanic and Big Tree had with
their own people after their release
from prison. He writes "SatantN
took up little handful OF sand and
said You see that; that's all the In
dams All the sand over these hills Is

II is no use our lighting them. We had
better be ut peace. The white men can
whip us IL they want to I He then sat
down, amid the asserting grunts Of a
number OF his under chiefs. Big Tree
said You see this tree the leaves on
it are the Indians. The leaves in that
large forest are the white people. They
are too many for us. II the whites fire
of their guns once all the Indians are
dead. There are number more grunts
of assent or dissent, could hardly tell
which. One Of the chiefs intimated
rather plainly that Satanic and Big Tree
had been subsidized. He said If the
whites were able to whip them they
would have done it long ago, and not be
making treaties that Satanta and Big
Tree had perhaps got crooked tongues
during their stay with the whites, and
that it would be well to watch them for
a while. They had brought some nice
presents with them that the Indian
Agent had given. If these chiefs had
not done some good turn to the whites,
why did they send them back with pres.
ents ? For his part he thought there
was nothing like fighting; for if they
never fought they never got anything
Tor keeping at peace. Satanic and Big
Tree looked to him az 4 they had been
faring pretty well. They had good
clothes on. AT the conclusion of this
warrior Grafton, or war speech, Big
Tree said he had been where three, four,
five houses were one on top of another,
at which big fat squaw said, "That's
lie." But Big Tree appeared not to
notice the interruption, and told them
of the distance they had come in the
cars, and the number of large, white
camps he had seen. The whites, he
told them, had laughing -houses, where
they used to meet to have a big laugh,
from which Judge that the prison peo-
pie at Huntsville must have some time
or other, taken them to minstrel per-
Torrance. Some of the Indians ugh
ughed, and others laughed, upon which
Satanic turned to the Commissioner
from Washington, and said You see
these people ; l have learned something
from you whites; l know enough not
to fight you again. These are like
children so high holding his hand
little higher than his knee. I shall
have to be very careful what I tell
them"

The LATEST TRIUMPH OF Temperance

The --LATEST TRIUMPH OF TEMPERANCE.
We congratulate the Temperance
world on the success everywhere at
tending the use of VINEGAR BrrTERs.
Certainly no preparation containing
alcohol has accomplished such cures Of
malarious fever, biliousness, dyspepsia,
rheumatism, lung complaints, consti-
patton, and general debility, as we hear
of from all quarters, as tie results of
this famous vegetable specific. No true
philanthropist will regret to see spirit
nous liquors expelled from medical use,
if they can be safely dispensed with /;
and that they are not necessary in any
case of sickness, whatever its character,
appears at last to have been demon
strated. If public opinion is capable
of making any impression upon the
minds Of the Faculty, they will ere long
introduce the most popular of modern
medicines into the hospitals, and pre-
scribe it in their practice. The millions
have given the article fair trial; il has
more than answered their expectations,
and no theoretical opposition can shake
their faith in it.-Cbm.

An Old Plea.

II is about thirty years ago-I think
IL was in 1844-that CLARK Seton was
indicted and tried for murder. He had
been a public character, and had many
and influential friends. OF the fact OF
the killing there could be no doubt !;
and it would be difficult to set up any
thing like due justification. The pub
lie was indignant, and it was evident
that il the case came to speedy trial
conviction would DO sure. So the
friends tried to stave the trial of till
the public feeling should be cool but
in this they were foiled. The case was
to come on at the very next session of
the court. The friends-two OF them
went to Philadelphia and consulted Cy.
Carpenter, one OF the best criminal law
yers OF his time, and boon companion
OF s. s. Prentiss. They told him If they
could gain time-if the trial could be
put off three or six months-they were
confident Seton could DO cleared. Said
Carpenter,-
Keep quiet, and leave the case in
my hands. But don't, on any account,
mention my name. You know Selfrish
Mcdonald? ?"
" Yes"
"Hirs him to defend Seton at the
approaching trial."
But" cried the friends, in amaze,
Mcdonald is -"
Never mind" interrupted Carpen.
ter. "Do as bid you. Secure Sell
irish Mcdonald for chief counsel of the
accused, and await the result"
The friends, trusting Carpenter,
though much against their better judg-
ment, engaged Selfrish Mcdonald to
conduct the defence in behalf of Clark
Seton, and the attorney entered upon
the work with magnificent flourish.
The trial came off, and Clark Seton
was declared Guilty.
Then Cy. Carpenter came to the res
cue, and made motion for new trial
in the case of Clark Seton, accused of
murder. on the ground of the insanity
Of his counsel! The insanity OF McDon-
aid was proved to the satisfaction of the
Court, and new trial was granted. In
the next trial the jury disagreed, and
in the end Seton went clear.
Another case TRANSFERRED of like char
ter-that of Marsh, accused Of MUIR
der and convicted, at Newark, New
Jersey, about the same time Q844.) In
this case, as in the other, motion was
made for new trial on the ground of
insanity of counsel, and argued before
Judge Hornblower. l forget how it
terminated, though doubtless some of
our friends in Newark will remember.

The Death OF Napoleon,

The following incident from the pen
of the celebrated ecclesiastical histor-
ian, Able Roulbacher, contradicts the
irreigious stories that have been circu-
lated in reference to the death of the
great Napoleon "When near his end,
after having received the sacrament, he
said to General Montholn, General, l
am happy; l have fulfilled all my re-
ligious duties. wish you at your death
the same happiness. l had had need of

rank of Corsica. The sound of the bell

Specie Payment,

Mr.. Amasa Walker, of Mass, is out
in favor of resumption of specie pay
ments. His plan is the issuing by the
Government of compound per cent.
notes, convertible after two years into
10 40 bonds, at per cent. to be issued
at the rate of five millions a month,
and paid out for all ordinary expenses
of government. These notes being put
in circulation, would, he thinks, be
gradually boarded, ana finally funded,
and thus the currency would in five or
six years be contracted to its natural
limit, when it would, of necessity, be
at par with gold. This scheme post
pones the resumption of specie pay
ments for FIVE or six years, and it as
sumes natural limit for the Cur
rency Of the country, which limit is not
defined or specified.

The Tarantula in Kansas.

While Mr.. Samuel Vellier, Chief of
the Quapaw Indians, living three miles
south of Baxter, was going about his
farm, he was bitten on the toe of one
foot by tarantula. He Immediately
started for the house, but short dis.
lance, and by the time he reached it the
pain from the bite was SO severe that
he was unable to sit up and he threw
himself across the bed. The insect
had crawled up his clothing, and soon
after he lay down it gave him the
second bite in the regien of the small
of the back. This, with the other bite,
charged his system with the poison al
most as quickly as if by electricity.
Medical cid was Immediately summon
ed, but before it reached him he was too
near gone for it to do him any good.
In the most intense agony he fingered
until about ten o'clock that night, when
death relieved his sufferings.

LIME AS PREsERvATrvE OF WooD. -
Certain facts have been made known
which show that lime is a good preser-
yer of timber. Ships and barges used
tor the transportation of lime last much
longer than others. A small coasting-
schooner, laden with lime, was cast
ashore and sunk. She was raised, and
set afoat once more, and remained in
a sound condition for thirty years. A
platform of nine planks was used to
mix mortar on during three genera.
tions, then, being no longer required,
was neglected, and at length hidden by
grass that grew over it. Sixty years
afterward, on clearing the ground, it
was discovered sound and well pre-
served.

Stop that Hoarding up Of Your Money
.-.Pay Your Small Bills.

II every person were able at once to
pay their small bills when presented
for payment, times would be much
easier than they are now. Collections
on even the smallest accounts are diff
ficult, because boarding currency is al
most universal. So soon as bill is
presented the debtor says wait" even
when he has the money in his pocket to
pay the bill. This is a bad practice.
Hoarding should be discontinued now
because gold has touched a low point
and the currency is slowly depreciating.
So in few days the absurdity of hoard
ing will be apparent to every one.
