When a young girl reaches the age Of
fifteen or sixteen years, she begins to
thinks Of the mysterious subject Of mat
rimony, a state, the delights Of which
her youthful imagination shadows forth
in the most captivating forms. 1t is made
the topic of light aud incidental dis
course among her companions, and it is
brought upon the taps. When she grows
a little older, she ceases to smatter about
matrimony, and thinks more inteutly on
the all important subject, 1t engrosses
her Thoughts by day and her dreams by
night, and she pictures to herself the fe-
lieity Of being welded to the youth for
whom she cherishes a secret but consum-
ing flame. She surveys herself in the
mirror, and as it generally tells a FIAT
tering tale. she turns from it with a
pleasing conviction that her beauty will
enable her TO conquer the heart of the
most obdurate, and that w~hosoever else
may die in q state Of single blessedness,
she is destined to become, ere many years
roll by, a happy bride. From the age Of
eighteen TO twenty is "tbe very witehing
time Of female life" During that pc.
p
riod the female heart is more susceptible
to the soft and tender influences OF love
than at any other; and we appeal to our
fair readers to say whether, il inclination
was alone consulted in the business, more
marriages would not take place during
that ticklish season than in any by which
it is preceded or followed. II IS the grand
climateric Of love, and she who passes it
without entetirg into a state OF matri-
monY may chance to pass several years
Of her lite ere she is caught in the meshes
OF Hymen. The truth is, that the mfjor-
ity Of women begin to be more thoughi-
fnl when they have turned the age OF
twenty. The giddiress of the girl gives
way to the sobriety OF the woman. Friv-
olity is succeeded by reflection, and rea-
son reigns where passion previously held
u%ndisputed sway. The cares and ankle.
ties of life press themselves more, proba-
bly,. They tend to weaken the effect OF
the sanguine anticipation Of unmingled
felicity in the marriage state which the
miRd had formed in its youthful day
dreams.

In the suburbs of Dover, Arkansas,
lives Mr.. Ross Tucker with his family.
consisting Of a wife, son and two daugl-
tiers. About four o'clock last Monday
morning the room Of the young laoies
was invaded by a notorious negro
named John Hogsa- Their screams
brought the father and son to the rescue
in time to prevent a horrible outrage.
The negro was chased by the fuckers
and others a few hundred yards and
caught, and in less than an hour from
the time be entered the house his lifeless
body was dangling from a limb. The
jury Of inquest named the lynchers, but
no arrests we're made and no conceal
ment Of facts or parties attempted, This
was the fourth and last outrage attempted
by that negro.

ST. LOUIS, July 3 Colonel Boudenot
who returned frsm tie Indian territory
says that twenty-seven murder cases have
been disposed by the United States Dis
trict Court at Fort Smith, Ark, before
which all criminal business from the
Indian Nation came up. Out Of this nun
Der there were eight convictions for muir
der in the first degree. Seven of those
convicted, including two boys-one sew
enteen and the other nineteen years old
will be hanged together on the Sd of
September. The eighth one, a negro,
was killed after conviction while at
tempting to escape from the guard.
Much outlawry prevails in the Indian
territory, and ten men have been killed
in the vicinity Of Fort Smith within a
very few months. A very bitter contest
is now going on in Cherokee Nation for
the position of Chief of the Nation be-
tween the Ross and Downing parties,
and it is alleged that conspiracy and
secret assassinations are rife. Captain
W. P. Ross, the present Chief, is a can.
didate for reelection and a man named
Thompson is the candidate of the Down
ing party.
An extra from the Bosnian, Montana,
Times says that the Grow and Bannock
Indians have combined against the
Sioux, that three days fighting had oc-
Cured and hat the Sioux were being
o%verpowered.
