We learn from q reliable gentleman Of
this city, who is just back from trip up
the river, the particulars of a rather extra
ordinary case of experience in the last
awful blizzard. An Indian and his squaw
were caught ont in the storm while jour-
ncying from Ft. Randall to the Ft. Thomp-
son agency, and becoming bewildered, took
refuge in small ravine. They wrapped
their blankets about them and sat down
under tho bank. The SHOW soon covered
them. but the Indian kept hole through
the rapidly forming drift with his gun,
which he would poke up occasionally.
They remained there all night, and the drift
became so high in the meantime that he
was obliged to splice the ramrcd to the end
of his rifle in order to reach the top of 1t
and keep mp the ventilation. During theil
cheerless imprisonment the squaw was de-
liyered Of child, and it was ci1istened

Rolls up to God from the bosoms of mep;
Hear the great multitude mingling in chorus
GIoau as they gaze from their crimes to the sky,
=" Father, the midnight OF death gathers DER us,
When will he dawn of redemption draw nigh 2"
Look wander ers, sinful and lowly.
Struggling with grief and temptation below;
Thine is the goodness o'cr every thing holy,
Thine is the mercy to pity our woe;
Thine is the power to clelse and restore us
Spotless and pure the angels ON high.
- Father the midnight of death gather Ger us,
When will the dawn Of redemption draw nigh?n
Gray hair ana golden youth, matron and maiden,
LoYels OF malnmon and ollowers of fame,
All with tbs same solemn burdens laden
Lifting their souls to that mighty name

The extent to which this business is car
ried on and its success are astounding.
Men and women live in elegantly furnished
houses uptown, who pursue the business
of black-mailing as trade. They get the
entree of society, from car acquaintances
with respectable people, hire pews in ele-
CANT churches, and ride in coaches ON the
fruits of their nefarions business. Nobody
is spared. It's the rule in the district
attorneys Office, when woman calls to see
the official, to have the doors all open that
lead into other rooms. One of our most
eminent lawyers consented to hold con-
sultation with an elegantly dressed woman,
one afternoon. It cost him ten thousand
dollars before he got through with it. One
of our most prominent bankers has a habit
of remaining in the bank till five o'clock to

the forests called it Werowocomico--on the

cabin has been built to the chimney, and

a Historical Incident Bearing on the
Beecher Case.
From the New York Sun.

riohA ANcH i VIA DuA.
Mr.. Tracy's comments ON Mr.. Beecher's
letters are ingenious and plausible. In the
abundance of illustration with which the
opening argument for the defense abounds
We wonder that well known incident.sin
French history was not referred to. 1t has
been contended that the cohtrition and re-
morse expressed in Mr.. Beecher's letters
are altogether disproportioned to the causes
assigned for them in his statement before
the church committee. His position, sub
stantially, was that he had been misled in
regard to certain conduct of his friend, Mr..
Tilton, and, under niseonception, had
greatly injured him in his business. Not
OILY his, but he had blindly and heedlessly
pursued II course which had fastened ON
himself the supreme affections of Mrs. Til
ton. When brought to reailzaJ1on
two great errors, or sins, his compunctions
visitings knew no bounds. We say that
French history affords . parallel case, Or %
case i'll which q cause similar to one OF
these wrought a like effect; and We are
rather surprised that it had not reenrrea to
the recollection of SO ripe scholar rs Mr..
Tracy.

A Midiaeval story of the Cross.

When Adam lay in his death-siekness, he
sent Seth to Paradise to beg for some of
the oil of the tree of mercy. The archangel
Michael replied that the oil of the tree of
mercy could not be given to men for the
space of six thousand years + but instead ,he
gave Seth wand which he was to plant
upon the grave of Adam after his death; or,
as some say, a seed which he lay under his
tongue And presently Adam died, and
Seth fulfilled the commands of the angel.
From the wand planted upon the grave OF
Adam, or, as some say, the seed set upon
his tongue, there grew deadly tree. And
by and by King Solomon, seeing its godli-
ness, bade them cut it down and fashion it
for summer house they were building him.
But the builders could not fit nor fashion
it; first it was too large for its place, then
too small, so they threw it aside. and cast
it for bridge across the stream in Solomon's
garden. The Queen of Sheba, coming to
| visit Solomon, was aware in the spirit of the
miraculous virtue of the tree, and would not
| tread upon it. And after she was gone, she
sent messengers to Solomon, bidding him
beware Of that tree, for on it should be
hanged one by whose death the kingdom Of
the Jews should pass away. So Solomon
/ caused the tree to be buried deep in the
ground. And later, the jews nnawares dug
/ a well in the same place; this was the poo
