A SERIOUS OBsTAcLE.-A young
darkey had conceived violent passion
for neighboring mulattress, and taking
her one night behind him on an old farm
mule set out for Georgetown to have the
ceremony of marriage celebrated. But
In endeayorlng to navigate mud'hole
on the Georgetown bill the mule appar-
emily lost his power Of locomotion, and
the darkey got down to examine iRto
the cause of It. Unfortunately, he got
too close to the ANIMALS hind legs, and
an unexpected CONFUSION Of the mules
extremities shot him out to the aide OF
the road With a violence which resem-
bled the discharge OF a cannon ball.

made, and the hill Is still there to show
how dangerous it was (; aud one OF the
advantages in visiting such scenes Is
that they bring back old times, when
men seemed not to know what fear
meant. McCullock was one Of this class
of men, and we are now enjoying quiet
ly what they fought for and suffered so
much to win for us. In this wild
western land of woods and rivers, which
once swarmed with savages, great cities
now stand, and railroads are laid, aud
happy families of women and children
live, without fear Of having their brains
dashed out by Indians. 1t was hardy
borderers, like McCulloch and the rest
who laid the foundation for all this
peace, and happiness and, in praising
the men, we must not forget the women
and boys and girls. They were as
brave and true as the rest, and l-hnve
shown you how one Of these girls proved
that she had as much courage as the

after burning the village, disappeared

Feel the arrows Of despair?
Wherefore should she but an hour
Feel the throes Of pain and care?
While perfume 10 her is blowing

Make the parlor walls resound-

An Indian DetectiHs.

An Indian meeting a white man one
morning, asked if he had seen a little
old white man, with a short gun and a
small dog with short tailP" and added,
"That man stole my venison."
Upon being answered in the negative,
the white man said:
"How do you know all these par
ticulars about thief you have never
seenP'
The Indian replied: al know he was
a small man, because he piled up some
stones so that he could reach the veni-
son where l had hung it on a tree. l
know he was white man because his
tracks toe out, whereas an Indian toes
in. | know he was an old man by the
peculiarly of his step. l know he had
n short gun, by the marks made by the
muzzle and the butt where he leaned it
against the tree, and know he had a
small dog with short tail, by the inn
preston the dog left on the ground
where he lay down.
These were the clews which the quick,
sharp eye of the Indian discovered, and
enabled him to know what kind of a
person had stolen his food. And such
trivial things as these are what detec-
tives search for when seeking clews
which may lead to the detection of
criminals.
