Henry Dearborn of Maine, whom Mr.
Jefferson appointed Secretary Of War, had
been veritable hero of romance. In 1775,
he was village doctor. For three years,
the sign of DIR. Dearborn had hung out in
hamlet of New Hampshire, when n horse
man on a painting sliced brought the news
of the battle of Lexington. Before the sun
had set that day, The young doctor, splen-
did with the glow of perfect health and the
elastic grace of twenty-four, led sixty men
toward Cambridge, sixty-fve miles dis
tant, which he reached soon after sunrise
on the day following. At Bunker Hill, he
was captain but as there was nothing TO
do there but load and FIRE, he took mus
ket, and made one of his company, load
ing and firing with the rest as long as they
had any thing to put in their guns. He
went with Arnolds thousand men on that
march through an untrodden Wilderness
to join Montgomery in an attack upon
Quebec The wonder was that man of
them escaped starvation. Captain Dearborn
had with him a magnificent dog, the favor
lite of all the company, and to himself most
of starving comrades, and gave him up, at
length, to some soldiers, who took him to
their quarters, and divided his flesh, with
fine Yankee self-control, among the men
who could least help themselves, who were
nearest perishing. "They ate every part of
him." wrote his master, mot excepting his
entrails and, after finishing their meal,
they collected the bones and carried them
to be pounded up, and to make broth for
another meal" The only other dog at
tached to the expedition, a small one, had
been privately killed and eaten before.
Men sacrificed their "old breeches" made
of moosehide boiled them long, ar d then
cut them into slices, and broiled them on
the Goals. A barber's powder-bag was
made into soup at last. 1t excited the
wonder of the doctor-captain to see
men keep up with their company until
they would breathe their last, four or five
minutes after sitting down. Dearborn him
self gave out at length, and lay in hut for
ten days at the point of death. But he ral-
lied, trudged after the army, and went 10
the assault at the head of his command
In this spirit and in this manner, Henry
Dearborn served till the surrender of Corn
wallis, which he witnessed. On General
Washington's staff as quartermaster- gen.
eral he acquired that familiarity with mil
itary business which made him at he me in
the office in which Mr.. jefferson placed
him. President Washington had appoint
ed him marshal of the district of Maine,
and the people had elected him twice to
the House of Representatives. He was n
large handsome man, of erect, graceful
military bearing; striking figure in the cir
cles ofthe city that was rising in heprmeval
wilderness. He was, perhaps, the only
public man in the country who united all
the qualities desirable for his post being
soldier, Republican, man of science,
and a man of business.-JdmeS Parton an

FRIENDS OF THE INDIAN.-A Washing
ton dispatch to the New York Herald says,
in regard to the massacre of the Modocs:
Men belonging to the Indian peace party
policy claim that 1t is only another indica-
ton that the frontier settlers think no more
of shooting an Indian than they would
turkey. At the War Department 1t is said
that the peace policy men have determined
to employ eminent legal counsel to 6efend
Capt Jack and his party. The question is
to be raised, whether the Modocs can legal
ly be tried by military commission. The
point, it is reported, is to he made that
General Candy was not acting as COM
mander of the military forces, but as Peace
Commissioner, which is the position of a
civilian, and therefore military commits
sion cannot legally take cognizsnce of the
crime; that the killing of Captain Thomas
and the other soldiers must be considered
as an act of war, being performed while
the parties were engaged in hostilities. 1t
is said that IL the President overrules the
objections thus presented the matter will
be taken by due process to the highest
legal tribunal for adjudication, If it is
thought there can be any chance of success
to prevent or delay the exection of Captain
Jack and his associates some steps will be
taken to accomplish II.

WoMAN's DREss.-Elizabeth s. Phelps

kangaroo style of woman's dress will seem
as uncultivated as the nose-rings of the
Hottentots do to us to-day. We believe it.
Moreover, she says lin the independently

the Girl of the Period, sauntering before
one down Broadway, is one panorama of
awful surprises from top to toe. Her clothes
characterize her. She never characterizes
her clothes. She is upholstered, not orna-
mented. She is bundled, not draped. She
is puckered, not folded. She struts, she
does not sweep. She has not one of the at
tributes of nature nor of proper art. She
neither soothes the eye, like flower, nor
pleases it like a picture. She wearies it
like kaleidoscope. She is a meaningless
dazzle ofbroken effects. For myself new

man except in glancing over large pro-
miscuous assembly, and contrasting the
simplicity, solidity, elegance, and good
sense of mans apparel, with the affectation,
the himsiness, ugliness, and the imbecility
of woman's. When consider the pass to
which she has brought the one sole science
of which she is supposed to be yet mistress,
my heart misgives me down to the roots of
every hope 1 cherished for her."

The Leisure Hour.
Nv OLD-F.ssHrO.vxD REMEDY:

Mrs. Whitaker was much troubled about
Susan. All summer she had been in u
pale, languid manner, half-alive condition,
with no strength, no appetite, no interest
in anything.
Mrs. Whitaker, having never sufficient
ly gratilied her passion for doctoring, had
at frs: rather enjoyed this opportunity OF
trying the virtues of the various roots and
herbs that hung in dusty bundles from the
garret raiters. Susan's life had been made
burden to her with doses OF thorough
wort penneyroyal, tansy, dandelion and
burdock. There was always big bowl OF
black, bitter herb-tea standing in the pan
try, which it was equally the object of Mrs.
Whitaker's life to induce Susan to take,
and the object of Susan's to escape.
And still Susan lay around the house in
an exceedingly limp state, reading novels
with languid interest. studying her symp-
toms in the "Family Adviser" and cut
ting out such scraps of poetry from the
newspapers as dwelt on the hollowness OF
the world, unappreciated lovellness, and
early death.
Ned Whitaker, Susan's younger brother,
was decidedly skeptical on the subject Of
her illness. "Irs enough to make any one
sick to do as Sue does" said he energetic
ally. "If she'd get up earlier in the morn
ing and do little house-work she'd get
well twice as quick as she will now, dos
ing and coddling.
"A great deal you know about It," re-
torted Susan, with considerable vigor for
| an invalid; 81 like to hear boys talk. They
| know so much-in their own estimation"
"See here, Sue What If that interest
ing young school-master should hear you
speak so to your dear brotherf 1t don't
sound very angelic"
She said nothing, only blushed a little,
and assumed that paintive, meekly injur-
ed look, which says plainly, "you'll be
sorry for this when l am gone"
Fudge, Suep said Ned quite Impress
ed. Don't look so spoony;" and Off he
went, whlstling and banging the door.
| II was fact that there had been a good
looking young school-master, the previous
winter, a school-master that had not loved,
