Afoat again, The wind very light,

Afloat again, the wind very Light,
we were until about eight O'clock p.
m. reaching "Rockledge Hcme," the
dwelling place of Magruder Here we
tied up the boat and went up the steep
bank to the house. On our way there,
however, one Of Magruder's dogs took
small hold of one of Pagets legs,
andihe gave terrible Kick at the ami
NAL, and landed on his shoulders. IL
reminded us Of the way we used to
play foot halt Nobody was hurt, how
ever, and after supper We listened to
Mr.. Magtuder until nearly ten clock,
and this time he dscoursed to us on
the subject of lands, some of which he
had for sale, all along the river. r.
Finally we made start for bed,
and although we had thick blanket
over us, we suffered from cold that
night, as we seldom do in the North.
One reason we were not SO warm as we
might have been, was, that we could
see starlight in all directions, because
the boards of which "Rockledge
Home" we're built had shrank since
the house was erected, and had never
been battened.
On the morning Of the 18th, we
arose, shivered greatly while dressing,
and made haste to the cheerful fire
which was burning in an old.fashioned
fireplace down stairs. The north
wind, in that country, although it new.
er sends the mercury much below 450
seems to chill person more than our
coldsst weather here.
Before we were fairly warmed
through, Magruder invited US to take
look over his plantation, which we
did, aud found in very good condition.
While showing us around, he intro
duced the subject of land, some of
which he had for sale on very reason.
able terms. Spoke of "locating" us.
We were for travel just then, however,
and declined to be located just at that
time.
At breakfast we had'pork, hominy,
sweet potatoes, bread, coffee and syrup.
If our memory serves us, we believe
the "Majah" said something or other
about having land for sale, but we
didn't buy any.
! As soon as breakfast was over we
put our "traps" in the boat again, the
Major assisting us, and entertaining
us meanwhile by informing us that he
was land agent, and would be pleased
to locate us. We put up our sail, and
caught strong north wind, and left
Rockledge Home flying. When we
got out about hundred yards from
shore, Magruder shouted after us some
thing, of which we could only catch
''land," and "locate," and we quickly
passed out of hearing.
As we have said before, we had a
strong north wind, and our boat SEEM
ed to fairly fly over the foam. We
made the south end of Merritt's Island,
a distance of fifteen miles, in two
hours.

1t is a noticeable fact, that expos
ures Of rascality in Washington run
in pairs, and both political parties
have usually been involved. Ames and
Brooks, Schumacher and King, and
now Pendleton and Belkuap are ex-
amples of this fact. This is the more
Surprising in the latter case, when it
is known that the Clymer Committee
never intended to bring Pendleton
out, but were driven to it. Crimin'
atty Of Pendleton's conduct was, in
some respects, greater than that Of
Belknap's. The latter did not rob
the Government, while the former did.
He pushed through claim that was
fraudulent and corrupt in every par
ticular. So corruption, as applied to
individuals, has an even trade off be,
tween the two parties.
Previous to the New Hampshire
election, the Democratic leaders were
happy One would have thought the
Southern Confederacy had come back
to life, or that JEFF. Davis had receiv-
ed the war portfolio, SO happy were
the Bourbon leaders over the short
comings Of Belknap. Judas betrayed
his Saviour, but he did not kill
Christianity, and Democracy will
soon temper its unseemly JOY by the
discovery that the Belknap betrayal
has not injured the cause Of Republic.

Stricken at the Wheel.

Mr.. Levi Best, of Germantown, pilot
of the steamer New Champion, of Black
& Donohue's Catskill Line, was stricken
with apoplexy at his post on the up trip
on Saturday night and died a few hours
after. At 2 O'Clock the steamer had
reached Esopus light, below Rhinebeck,
Mr.. Best being at the time at the wheel.
His son, Truman Best, second pilot,
was asleep in his room next the pilot
house and heard his father ring to slow
the boat. Thinking that something was
wrong he got up and stepped into the
pilot house, and as the night was per-
fectly clear and no Instructions in the
way, he asked his father what was the
matter. "We have had a heavy fog,''
said the old gentleman, "and l don't
know where we are.' His son attempt
ed to tell him that all was right and
asked his father to sit down, and after
some persuasion Mr.. Best stepped back
and his son took the boat in charge.
Soon after the boat reached Catskil Mr..
Best died. MIR. Best was about 65 years
of age, and had been a boatman all his
lifetime, and for the past twenty-five
years had run continuously from Cats

Death of an Indian Chief Aged 1O7.

in this section. He vas born at the
place where Peru is at present situated,

White Loon" retained his faculties in
a wonderful degree until a few months
since. His sight and hearing were
somewhat impaired, but his memory
was not at all affected, and he could
distinctly remember events which oc-

Tecumseh distinctly, and described the
building of old Fort Wayne frequently.
He understood no other tongue than
the Miami, and never referred to our

the Sentinel: "He is tall and straight
as an arrow, his hair and beard are
white and straight, and his complexion

Two weeks ago Mr.. Robert Hamsley,
a wagon-maker, while at work in his
shop on Pirtle Street, between Four
teenth and Fifteenth, cut off a part of
his left forefinger with an ak. He pick
ed up the piece and went with it as
quick as possible to a physician to have
it bound again to its severed member.
The doctor told him it was useless to
perform such an operation; that the
finger would never heal. But Hamsley
insisted that it should be done. and the
physician complied with the request,
placing the dismembered piece careful
" in its proper position, and then bind
ing the finger firmly with a bandage.
The process of healing at once began,
and, contrary to the theory of the doc-
tor, the dismembered parts grew rap
idly together. But on Saturday last, a
week, the finger suddenly became very
painful, and Mr.. Hamsley was seized
with lockjaw. For nine days he. has
been PROSTATE and suffering the most
excruciating fortunes, relieved only by
occasional spasms, in which he is un-
conscious. Last night he was in a very
critical condition, and his death was
expected at any moment.-LouasUi5le
