precious money had been hidden, unknown
and unguarded, and in box which could have
been opened by a common chisel. This secret
was well kept, and not even known by the
commanding officer. The Paymaster's clerk
related this to me months after the expedition
had been disbanded and the money spent.
AS the train advanced over the prairies hun
dreds of eyes scanned the horizon in every di-
reetion, and any unusual object at once arrest
ed attention and stimulated curiosity. The
plains are something like the ocean, q

a spot of timber near some stream. Mon

least thing like change is treat A train ap-
preaching from the opposite direction, a scout

will create all the excitement that sail can on
the ocean approaching one after days away
from shore always brings. One day far off on
the left of the train, horse was discovered ap-
parently wounded, for he remained on the
ground, now and then laundering about as if in
pain. was asked to ride out and examine him
and report if he was wounded by bullets, ar
rows, or merely abandoned by some train as
worthless. My good horse Billy soon brought
me to the spot. 1 looked about for an instant to
discover any signs of camp or battle-ground,

horse to see if he was wounded or had broken

as / bent forward to examine him he rolled
over, lifting his legs high in the air, thor
oughly frightening my horse, who gave a
wild snort and snatching the rein suddenly
from my grasp, galoped off at wild rate over
the prairie. No call of mine would stop him.
and it was a long, hard walk, past many a
deadly rattlesnake to reach the train, when
climbed in lonely humiliation upon the feed
ing trough of an army wagon, while two troop
ers chased Billy for miles before they could
catch him.

and happier place. There are probably
few who do not carry with them through
life the tender memory of some old
maid whose love and goodness cleered
their early years. How often is she a

There is dog in Westville that has a
mania for extinguishing matches. Let
any one light match before him and
he will spring at il, attempting to seize
Il in his mouth and put it ont. Light
one and throw it at him and he will
catch il and extinguish ii. il makes no
difference to him whether the matches
are sulphur or parlor matches. A day
or two since a gentleman lighted and
threw towards him what is known as a
yolcan mRtch--one having about half
inch Of chemical compound that cannot
be extinguished before it is consumed.
The dog seized it in his mouth, hut it
did not go out. He then dropped it and
put his paw on il, finally Selling it again
IN his mouth. His owner says that
many a box of matches has been burned

WHERE Mill HANDS ARE COMFORTABLY.
A correspondent of the Springfield Republi-
can, writing from Pittsaeld, Mass, in rela-
ton to Southern cotton mills, and the
wages paid North and South, states that he
visited during the past year nearly all the
principal mills in the South, as inspector
for the Phoeuix Insurance Company, and
his conclusion from comparison of South
ern mill operative with those Of New Eug
land is that ''the advantages is in favor of
the South" Wages are lower there, but
the cost of living, fuel, &C., is much lower.
The houses occupied by the operatives
were found to be cosy cottages. Pay is re-
ceived in money, not in checks. Workmen
in the Southern mills were as contented,
well cared for and thrifty as at any mill
visited in the North. considering the
difference in climate and the cost OF fuel,
clothing and cost of necessities of life, am
Inclined" says the writer, s'to think that
the cdds are in favor of the Southern opera
tiyes, all of whom are white.'
