The story so highly cOlOred as to life in the Blacks Hills country, the condition of the immigrants there, the abundance 0f goiu anu other highly excitingly descrip- tiOns, has had a perfectly natural result. Whitcher and Collins, who professed 10 be of the Black Hills party, and fresh from that new El Dorado, had been doing a fine business by exciting the cu- pidity of the people of Chicago, struck with the gold fever, and under pretense of forming a new company of emigrants, had taken five dollars each from five to six hundred dupes as initiation fee. On Monday morning they left, that is, Whitcher and Collins left Chicago, and they left all the dupes behind to lament the loss of their five dollars each, and what is worse, the fortunes they anti. cipated taking from the gold bear ing rocks of the land of the Sioux. We do not preceive that the race of sWindlers is dying out, nor that the multitude of dupes is growing any less numerous Perhaps, af- ter all, this loss of five dollars each may prove great gain to those who may thus be prevented from setting their faces toward the Black Hills country. For were there gold there, the War Depart ment is determined that our peO- pie shall not infringe the rights of the Indians therein.-AEtG C1Ii' f0rTiG.

A PLAYFUL ZEPHYR The Burling-

zephyr struck Floyd county the other
day and nearly turned it upside down.
1t blew John, Barney's house over, with
Mrs. Barney and the children in it,
rolled it over three times, jammed it
against q tree and tore it to pieces, and
the inmates were only slightly bruised.
As postscript to all this we would say
that Mrs. Barney. who is somewhat
deaf, never desisted, from her knitting

CHAPTER vi.

All was confusion in the old once
happy home. A shadow had fallen,
and Alice was wrestling with her pride
and wounded love. Her name would
be in every mouth ; her sorrow in every
womanly heart. The code Of society
gives every mana right to claim and
win a woman's heart. her province to
accept or reject. but here all the wealth
of loving woman's affections were
trampled under foot. as the snow from
the pure clouds are crushed into the
mire of the streets, and nothing could
be done to restore her confidence, or
heal her self-love so crushed and temp
est-tossed. Alice forced back the.
binding tears, and took up her daily
burden, hiding her grief from all but
her God. who knoweth the workings
Of all hearts. In the silence Of her
chamber she clasped her hands above
her bowed head, and said-"Thy will,
not mine, be done !" In after years

The Prophecy Of an Indian Chief.


The presence in Washington Of a
number Of Indian chiefs reminds one Of
the old and famous story Of Washington
and the prophetic speech to him Of an
Indian chief It will be read. with, re-
neYed interest now, and will serve to
round period in some Of the Centen-
nial addreseese Il 1770HW Washington,
then a Colonel, was accompanied BY
Dr. crait and 2 large party on an ex-;
lplpring expedition. up the, Kanayha.
One day, while In camp, the party were
visited by.a company Of Indians, and
their interpreter advancing, said that
netf them was a great sachem, and
commanded the, Indians % the fall Of
Braddock, sixteen years previous. He
was received by Washington, and after
the council fire was lighted he stood.
up and addressed him as follows: II
am alchisf and ruler over many tribes.
My influence extends to the waters of
the, great lakes and to the far blue
mountains. I have travelled long
and weary path that Lmightisee the
young warrior Of the great battle. II
was on the day that the white mans
blood mixed with the streams of our
forest that I first beheld this chief. Il
called to my young men and said,
Mark yon tall and daring warrior He
is not of the, red-coat tribe. He hath
an Indians wisdom, and his warriors
fight as we doAhimself alone is ex-
posed. Quick, let your aim be certain.
and he dies Our rifles were leveled,
which but him knew not how to miss
twas all in vain ); a power mightier far
than We shielded him from all harm.
He cannot die in battle. l am old, and /
soon shall be gathered to the great
council fire of my fathers in the land
Of shades, but ere l 60, there is some
thing that. bids me speak in. the. voice
Of. prophecy, Listen! The GreatSpirit.
protects that man and guides his .des-
tinies.$ He will become the chief Of
nations. and a people yet unborn wilfl
hail him as the founder Of a mighty
empire ',3. ts st5.58 s.,5 ii qs.i...al
When to this grand historical fact
the additional truth is added that Wash
ington never received the slightest
wound in battle, how forcibly are We
reminded that the Father of our Coun,
try was under the special protection of
heaven. ,fa.e sasf eafsat9 y 1tsll
