and Protestantism as giving up the conscience to
God against all comers. He then briefly sketched
the rise and progress of the Papa power. and said
that it was the purpose Of Rome SO to change the
constitution of America that Catholics should rule
the country and Catholicism become its re-

An India. Girls Lore.

The Rev. Alexander Wright, a chap
lain Of the United States Army, narrates
a true but tristful romance Of the.slate
Princess Monica, a daughter Of Spotted
Tail. This narrative is the most inter-
esting in that it explains the uniformly
peaceful attitude Of the Chief toward
the whites. A short time ago Monica
visited Laramie to look upon the pale
faces and their manner Of living. She
was shown around by handsome Young
Lieutenant of cavalry regiment, and in
thanking him for his courtesy. she
acknowledged, with charming naivete,
that she loved him. The surprised and
fiattered officer told her that she must
not love him, as his heart was placed
among the pa!e-face girls N an Ohio
town. Monica visited the fort on the
day following that on which she lost her
freedom, and so on for many weeks, in
plain, neat attire the poor girl sat
throughout the afternoon on the door
steps of the officers quarters. The
great Sioux Chief, whose warriors out
number those Of Sitting-Buli, was morti-
fed at the conduct Of his best beloved
daughter, and sent her to n little camp
in the Rocky Mountains. One day q
courier arrived at the Chiefs camp with
the tidings that Monica was dying
Spotted Tail rode with all haste to her
side and heard her farewell injunction:
"My Chief, live with the pale-face in
peace, and bury Monica on the hill be-
fore the fort" Gen. Maynadier, COM
mander AT the post, Col. Bullock, the
post-trader, and Chaplain Wright, gave
the body a Christian burial The grave

stand that two additional locomotives
and four first-class passenger cars have
been purchased for the S. V. r. r., and
also that regular passenger train will
soon be put on that part of the road be-
tween Shepherdstown and Berryville.
We learn that the business done by
the S. V. r. r. has already yielded an
amount of revenue sufficient to pay the
interest on the amount thus far spent
in constructing the road, and it needs
no prophet to foretell that when the
line shall be completed to its contem-
plated tetmini, it will be one Of the best
paying roads in the country.
We are told that one day last week
there were thirty wagons-four and six
horse teams-loaded with wheat for the

load at the Berryville depot.
Five thousand tons more OF iron have
just been bought for the S. V. Il. K.

FIRE INSURANCE..

There is no period of the year with
out its occasional reminders of the i'm
portance OF insuring property, and the
folly of neglecting it. The cost in this
day is comparatively small, especially
50 when compared with the loss conse-
quent upon almost every fire. The ap-
preaching season of winter increases the
danger of burning oct by the frequent
use of fire about our premises-a spark
in defective chimney, or swept by the
wind on to a shingle roof, often laying
waste valuable buildings.
The wisdom OF insurance is shown by
the fact that the best and most careful
business men of our country keep their
property constantly insured, and we are
taught the same lesson by the examples
of representative men of orr county and
community We learn that Mr.. Henry
Shepherd has; and always keeps his fine
property fully insured. Many others
about us do likewise. The recent fire,
in Charlesiown, Of the Sadler Bros.
building, shows too their prudence in
this important business matter. And if
/: IS prudent in those who have means,
and who might be able to stand some
loss, to ihstre, how much more prudent
and important for those who have all
staked in their home, which if to burn,
would leave them homeless and help
less We merely suggest this subject
for thought and reflection.
While these general remarks are not
offered in the interest of any particular
Company, it may not be improper to
suggest, at the same time, that we have
a good home company IN our own coun-
ty, managed by our citizens, which is
first entitled TO The consideration aud
patronage Of our people.

TIE WALKER McCLELL,Nb MAR
enthusiastically DIR. 5: Il. uenkle,
James Linthicum, John Butler and
Granny" Thomas, charged with being
connected with the kidnapping of John
w. Walker on Thursday evening. to
prevent his marriage with Miss Ella
Mcdonald, appeared at the office Of JUS
tce Richardson's; county magistrate,
whose office is OH st. Paul street, in
Baltimore city, and each gave bail in
the sum of 500 to keep the peace, and
$500 each for their appearance at baltI-
more County Court TO answer the charge
of kidnapping Walker and OF an assault
upon him. Geo. Henkle and Charles
Z: Suter are also charged by Walker
with being connected with the kldnap-
ping ard assault, and it is stated that
they will appear before Justice Richard
son to-day and give bail to answer. Dr.
S. r. Henkle and James Linthicum are
brothers in-law of L. Il. Suter, who is
charged with being the principal in TIE
abduction. Walker was kept in an un
occupied building near Calyerton dur
ing Friday night, but was released early
In the morning. When Miss McClel-
land heard, late on the night of the al
fair; that her intended had been kidnap
ped, she came TO the city in a carriage
and went directly to Martinsburg, w.
Va, to the father OF her betrothed, Mr..
James Walker, and told him Of his sons
arrest. Leaving Miss McClelland in
charge OF his family. the father came to
Baltimore 10 secure the release OF his
son, bit found that he had already
gained his freedom. Young Mr.. Walk
er then went 10 the residence of Rev.
g. @. Baker, pastor CT Union Square
NJ. 4. Church, who was TO have married
him on Thursday night at BarLums
Hotel, and induced the minister TO 60
with him to Martinsburg to tie the nup-
tlal knot, arriving there Saturday morn
inc. Here another dilemma presented
itself, as it was necessary then to have
a license issued in West Virginia in or
der to make the marriage legal; so it
was determined that the bridal party
should 90 to Hagerstown, where the
ceremony was fnally performed. The
couple, it is said; have gone on wed
ding tour South and West. Mr. Baker,
the officiating clergyman, did not return
home from bis hynenial pilgrimage until
seven o'clock Sunday morning, and was
pretty well used up, having had but lit
tie sleep during the two nights that he
was away. Throughout the whole at
fair the pair, who have had SO many
difficulties thrown in their path to the
marriage altar, have beer the objects Of
sclicitude and sympathy with many
friends, and the case, taken all together,
is probably without a parallel.-Bahi-

deficient, but the almost equally impor-
