It has been generally supposed that
the spirit of gambling did not rest in
the feminine soul, to any alarming
extent; but this like many other gen

woman onee get the passion for gam

possession of her it becomes a part of
her very nature it is a madness,
which only succumbs to the severest

The fashionable women of the great
cities fall into it easily. The life they
lead is of a nature that makes it al

the hill, had t-tiddenly come upon
him. Tke elder squaw gave one of
thorn far reaching whoops peculiar to
the Indian?.
White at onee comprehended his
perilous situation for if tire alarm
should reach the camp, lie and his
companion must inevitably perish.
Pelf-preservation compelled him to
inflict a noiseless death upon the
sqnaws, and in such manner as to
leave no trace behind. Ever rapid in
thought and prompt in action, he
sprang upon his victims with the ra
pidity and power of a panther, and
grasping a throat of each, with one
bound he sprang into the Hockhock
ing. and rapidly thrust thehead of the
elder woman under the water, and
making Ftrong sS6rts to submerge the
other, who. however, powerfully re
sisted. Iuring the short struggle the young
female addressed him in his own Ian"
guage. though almost in inarticulate
sounds. Releasing his hold she in
formed him that ten years before she
had been made a prisoner, on Grave
Creek fiats and that the Indians, in
her presence, butchered her mother
and two sisters, and that an only re
maining brother had been captured
with her, who succeeded on the sec
ond night in making his escape.
What had become of him, she knew
not.
During the narrative White, unob
served by the girl, had let go his
grasp on the elder squaw, whose body
soon floated where it would not, prob
ably, soou be found. He now direct
ed the girl hastily to follow hn, and
with his usual energy and speed,
pushed for the Mount.
Tbey had scarcely gone two hun
dred yards from the spring, before
the alarm cry was heard some quarter
of a mile down the stream. It was
supposed that some warriors, return
ing from a hunt, struck the Hock-
hocking just as tbe body floated
past.
White and the girl succeeded in
reaching the Mount, where McClel
land had been no indifferent spectator
to the commotion among the Indians,
as the prairie parties of warriors were
seen to strike off in every direction;
nd before White aud the girl had ar
rived, a party of ,me twenty war
riors had already gained the extern
aechvity of the Mount, and were cau-

posure, casting many a furtive glance
toward the fearful point. Suddenly
he saw the warrior stretching every
muscle for the fearful leap, aud with
the agility of a deer he mde the fear
ful spring; instead of reaching the
rock he sprang ten feet in the air, and
gave one terrific yell; he fell upon
the hill. He had evidently received
a death shot from some unknown
hand.
A hundred voices from below re
echoed the terrible shout, and it was
evident tbey had lost a favorite war
rior, as well ss been foiled for a time
in their most important movement.
A very few moments proved that the
advantage so mysteriously gained
would be of short duration, for already
the scoutcaught a momentarj' glimpse
of a swarthy warrior cautiously ad
vancing towards the cover so recently
occupied by a fellow companion.
Now, too, the attaek in front was re
sumed with increasing fury, so as to
require the incessant fire of both
scouts to prevent tbe Indians from
gaining the eminence ; and in a short
time McClelland saw the warrior be

Oysters Growing on Treas.
Mr. O. H. WIHitms, a fellow of the
Geographical Society of England, tells
iu the Hartford Times how oysters
inhabit the mangrove woods in Cuba.
"For several years," he said, "I re
sided on that island, and traveled
there more than the ordinary run of
foreigners, and have several times
come across scenes which many peo
ple would consider great curiosities
one in particulnr. No doubt the
reader will open his eyes at oysters
growing on trees. Often have I seen
the sneer of unbelief on the sce of
the ignorant when thexfact whs men
tioned ; but grow they do, and in im
mense quantities, especially in the
Southern part of the island. I have
seen miles of trees, the lower stems
and branches of which were literAlIj'
covered with them, and main a good
meal have I enjoyed with very little
trouble of procuring, and not quite so
i expensive as they are in London. I

i fire, and, when opened I picked them

rolled down toward his companions;
again a mysterious agent had inter
posed in their behalf.
This second sacrifice cr.t dismay
into the ranks of the assailants; and
just as the sun was disappearing be
hind the western hills, the foe with
drew a short distance for the purpose
of devising some new modes of at
tack.
The respite came most seasonably
to the scouts, who had bravelj' kept
their position, and boldly maintained
the unequal fight from the middle of
the day.
Now, for the first time, was the girl
missing aud the scouts supposed that
through terror she had escaped to her
former oaptors, or that she had been
killed in the ficht. They were not
long left to doubt, for in a few mo
ments the girl was seen emerging
from behind n roek, aud coming to
them with a rifle iu her hand.
During the heat of the fight she
saw a warrior fall who had advanced
some fifty yards before the main bo
dy iu front. She at onee resolved to
possess herself of his rifle, aud by

1SSULTIXG THE FLAG.
The Rev. Mr. Parks objected to eat
ing his picnic dinner at Moro, Ca!.,
under the Americun flag, remarking
that "that rag through which he had
put many a bullet hole, disturbed his
enjoyment. On the following Sunday
as Mr. Parks took his place in the pul
pit, he found an American flag hang
ing from it. He was about to pull it
down, when Mr. Miller, who placed
it there, after hearing his unloyal
speech at the picnic, quietly arose and
presented a pistol, advising him to go
on with his preaching and let the flag
alone. Miller sat on the front seat
with his finger on the trigger, ready
for any allusion derogatory to the
flair. At the conclusion of the serm
on, Mr. Miller made a vote that the
church had no further use for the ser
vices of Mr. Parks, which was unani
mously carried. Mr. Parks left Moro,
aud another minister is wanted there.
The drummers came down like
wolves on the fold, their toes were
alLfrosted, their noses all oold. Their
weather-peeled bugles soon shone
through the town, they gobbled the
money and salted it down, then took
a few orders and lit out of here, with
their heads full of business and skins
full of beer.

from her sleep in about the same Con
di' ion that a fst young man does af
ter a -debauch. There is a space of
time to put in after her rising, and to
a woman who lives on the fiercest ex
citements, an hour that has nothing
exciting in it is an hour in purgatory.
As a male debauchee is compelled lo
take his cocktail at intervals during
the day to ste.idy himself till the time
comes for his regular drunk, so does
the female debauchee require some
stimulant during the terrible hours
between nine a. m. and four p. m. to
tn-keep her alive. This excitement
the3' have found in gambling. Home
of them play draw-poker, the regular
same, but not many. That game, as
we've beentold, requires firmness, de
cision knowledge of human nature,
judgment, dash, daring, and pluck
qualities which the little dears are
not, as a rule, blessed with. What
they prefer is a game of pure chance,
in which no skill is required. To this
end a dozen of them will gather at a
house, and make a pool of say $5 each,
making a "pot" of $60. The twelve
numbers are put into a box, and one
drawn at random. The first number
drawn is entitled to oue-half the pot,
the second to one-fourth, nnd the
third to the remaining fourth. This
goes on for hours and hours till, in
fact, it is time to dress for diuner.
This game, simple as it is. is excit
ing enough to satisfy their natures,
particularly ns they can win a very
large sum of money in a day. At one
hotel in the upper part of the city, at
which n great many rich men board,
the ladies-made a game in which each
put in $100 each time. One lady won
nearly $-4,000, which was a lucky
thing for her, as she was in debt, and
wanted it. But how was it with the
losers, who probably, were also in
debt and wanted It likewise?
EMIGRATION.
Many good people have felt some
alarm at the vast number of foreign
born citizens whe, this season, have
gone back to their former homes, sup
posing that the panic and the conse
quent scarcity of labor had driven
them back to Europe. AH these fears
are groundless. The fact is the dull
ness of trade has told terribly upon
the steamship lines, and all of there
have been running at a loss. To get
as much business as possible, they all
put down the rates of passage to a
very small sum to induce travel.
Thousands upon thousands of well-to-do
Irishmen, Germans and French
men have taken advantage of the re
duction to re-visit their old homes,
and that is all there is of it. They
will all return in the fall and bring
others with them, who will be attraot
ed by what they say of the "land of
the free," but more by the evident
prosperity of those who return.
Emigration is not as brisk as iu for
mer years, for the 3irnple reason that
there is but little work now. But
emigrauts are coming every day.
whole matter is this: The committee
of Plymouth Church, whose business
is to get at the truth, are not attempt
ing any thing of the sort. They are
trying Beecher for eharges preferred
against him; they are trying their
level best, as the boys say, s clear
him. It is not a jury that is trying
this efe. Tbe eornmittee go about it
as though each member was Beecher's
attorney, whose business it was to
bring in the great preacher "not guil
ty" at all hazards; and Beeeher is
fish ting the matter as a litigant, who
does not hesitate to use every quibble
to gain his ease, no matter what the
facts may be. What does Henry
Ward Beeeher, charged with adultery
want of a lawyer before a church com
niittee? lie did or did not commit
the crime. Instead of fortifyinghim
self with proof to show that he did
not, he quibbles aud turns and twists
He says in effect, "If I am guilty
prove it. Prove that I committed the
crime charged. Prove that I am not
what I profess to be. Bring some
one to swear that I have overstepped
the line that should mark the limit of
my profession."
Tilton proposes to prove it. He
submits letters that have passed be
tween Beeeher and Elizabeth, his
wife. He produces a document sign
ed by Beeeher which is, actual ! a
confession, and a thousand other doc
uments, on which any jury in the
country would send a man to the pen
itentiary and which have satisfied
the world as to the true state of the
case. But all this won't do for Beeeh
er. Knowing his power in the church,
knowing the hold he has upon the
popular mind, belays back on his rep
utation as a preacher, and says: "I
neiiher admit nor deny ; prove those
letters to be genuine prove that the
language in them ought justly to bear
the construction you put upon them.
I wash my hands of the whole of It.
I don't like it. It is disagreeable."
And what does Plymouth Church
propose to do? WJ.y, instead of sift
ing this matter instead of bringing
all the parties to the bar, and compell
ing them to tall tbe truth and the
whole truth, they have decided in ad
vance that Mr. Beeeher is innooeut.
and have determined that their com
mitted shall make a report to that ef
fect. Then Mr. Beeeher is to tender
his resignation as pastor, whieh they
will not accept, and Henry Ward
Beeeher will go on as before.
This will happe. within this week
mark it.
But Tilton will not allow it to rest
in this way. He fancies he has some
rights, and if a church counsel wfil
not do him justice he proposes to
find a tribunal that will. There
fore, he will take the matter
from the ecclesiastical tp the
legal tribunals. The moment the
church whitewashes Beeeher, he will
commence suit in the courts for dam
ages for the seduction of his wife.
This will bring the delicate people
who know, but do not wish to testify,
ing3 and uninfluenced by the magnet
Ism of a great name will get at the cold
solid truth. Don't moke up your
minds till the courts have passed up
on it. If Tilton makes good his case,
down goes a gigantic fraud. If hs
does not. the name of Beeeher will
still shine as one of the elect, and no
man in America will be more rejoiced
than I. Fori dislike to see a great
name besmeard I hate to see a great
life clouded.
But with all this be lenient to Til
ton. He is a great man and a good
one. I know whereof I speak, fori
know him well. He has done unwise
things and foolish things, he has the
infirmities that belong to and are a
part of genius; but his intentions
have always been good, his impulses
have always been right, and his fail
ings always leaned toward virtue. If
he fails iu this he must not be put
down as bad. His aetionmust be as
cribed to a malevolent influence that
has made things seem as they were
not. I know Theodore Tilton well,
aad I assure those who read these
lines that he is not a quaok, a dream
er, or a fool. He is a strong mau in
all things that he believes, and hie be
liefs are as a rule right a weak man
in policy, but an honest man so far as
his light shows him what honesty is.
He would not make a good member
of Congress, but he has a place in the
world, and he will alwavs fill it cred
itably and well. A great genius is

shown to him? Must it all go to the
man whom he believes ha" injured
him? It is a serious matter, and one
that must not be hastily decided up
on. BBEOIER EXPLAINS.
And now comes Beeeber with his
explanation. It is the old story re-told
He claims to have been a particular
friend of Mrs. Tilton's; that she
came to him with stories of Theo
dore's infidelities and erulaty, and that
he advised her to leave him. After
ward, Mouiton came to him and con
vinced him that the allegations
aerainst him were unfounded. Troubl
ed at having made trouble, he signed
the document known an his "Confes-
wili not bear analysis. If what he
says is true, he is the weakest man
living. He admits to having submit
ted to blackmail, to having walked in
terror for four years, to have made all
sorts of com promises and make-shifta,
aud he only comes to the front with
some sort of boldness now, by the act
of an accuser. Innocent men do not
"work in this way. Had Mr. Beeeher
been innocent, he would have taken
Theodore by the throat at the first of
it, and dragged him before a tribunal.
That would have established his in
nocence beyond a pcradventure. He
would have been the active man, and
he would have made it lively for the
gentlemen who were after him.
By the way, Mr. Beeeher does not
say a word about the other affairs that
be has been credited with ; but per
haps it wasn't necessary, a they were
not under consideration. Heaven
save the country from another thing
of this kind.
