The hunter turned around, fixed his eyes upon my own for an Instant, and then ran them down toward my feet. Attor a careful survey of my person, he camo nearer and said:

With pleasure.stranger. You don look like them thieving chaps as go about these digglns fleecln' men as knows nothin' 'eept huntln' an' fightin out of their money. But we'll talk over the mug."

A steaming pitcher of hot whisky and two glasses were placed upon a table, beside which we seated ourselves. I was a little puzzled as to how I was to proceed to draw my man out, and too anxious to wait for the liquor to do it. But fortune favored me. "You're a stranger In these parts, I see," exclaimed Nat, after taking a long pull at tbe whisky. "Yes," I replied, "I have Just arrived." "How do you like our country T" "I think it beautifully grand." "Think ofsettlln' here?"

I have thought something about It." (lot anv family 7" Yes—wifo and child." Then don't do it—don't do H1" he cried, evincing considerable excitement, and striking the table in a violent mannei, "Don't bring helpless women and children into this part of the country, even if you starve at home. I know that would be hard but it would be a thunderin' sight harder to bring them here, and then see what I have seen aud foel what I have lelt."

As the hunter gave utterance to these words he bent forward, caught my hand with one of his own, and clutched it in such a manner that I found it difficult to prevent myself from crying out with pain, With his other hand he pointed aown to the valley, while his eyes glowed with fierceness. "Stranger," ho said, "If you'll look out of that window, about half way botween the Platte river you'll see a level place containing about one hundred acres. Near the centre of that spot you'll see a large cotton wood tree and a clump of smaller one*."

I told him that I saw them. "Do you see anything that looks like a happy home, there 7' "I do not. But at the right ot that grove I see a blackened spot where a house may have been destroyed by A"5*" I,.

That's it—that's it stranger be growled fiercely, as he clutched my hand again. Then a sorrowful expression swept across bis bronzed features, and I oould see water-drops gathering in his eyes. But he brushed them away and then continued: "That was my home, stranger. Why I came there or from what part of the country, don matter but I did come, and I brought with me as patient and good a wife as ever blessed a home."

The speaker oould scarcely continue, ao great was his emotion. But recovering himself after a great effort, he went on: "I know you won't mind a drop or two of water in my eyes, and

The Hunter's Revenge.

'J$A ROCKY MOUNTAIN STORY.

Do you see that man asked my host, pointing to a walking nondescript, who happened to be passing the door of bis tavern, situated away up among the Black Hills.

I see something but whether buffalo, elephant, grizzly bear, or man, I have been trying to decide in my own mind," I replied. "Oh! that's Wild Nat,the catamount," was the reply, tempered with respect "He's a wonderful chap,and,If you like I'll call him in and if he happens to be in tbe humor, he'll give you an account of some of his adventures." "Ob, call him in, by all means."

Jt was useless to call, however, for Nat had changed his mind,turned back and came rolling Into the room. He •walked direct to the bar, against which I was leaning, and, without speaking or looking to the right or left, gave it a blow with a fist of tremedous proportions which caused the boards to creak, and the glasses to dance merrily. "In a moment I'll bo with you, Nat," exclaimed Sacdford, the tavern keeper, pretending to be bugy, but at the same time giving me the wink. ''°I thought this my cue, and I said "I am glad we've got company at last, Sandford. You know I never liked to drink alone, and it has been quiet as a churchyard here, for the last hour. Come, for this is my treat. You'll drink with me, I suppose, won't you, my friend 7"

loves their children, and they 4on't know bow hard the parting is fill it comes. But I loved both wife and children. WeJL my UgMe ^oneswere. just the agq of your child, when the blow fell. hqiall been very happy, and hadlbegfab to prosper. Tbe plot of land Was" l»vered with oomj

One day I had been out hunting—or rather one night tor it was coming morning as I neared my home, on my retnrn. I had noticed alight in the direction of my cabin,but I thought nothing ef this, for the dry grass in spots took fire, and it was no pause for alarm to see the sky reddened by the reflection. There was no tavern here then, and you oould not see my cabin from this spot. But I felt considers^ bly frightened when I came round that

Ead

oint, for although the flames which I seen had died out, I could see a sickly glare through the treee. I feared that my corn had oeen burned and so I sprang forward in order to learn the worst. I cleared that belt of forest and came upon my own land. I had never

thought

of Indians, but as the sight

burst upon my view, I stood like one rooted to the spot although I believe I didn't utter a sound."

I did not ask the hunter the question which arose to my lips, but waited until he had recovered a little from the agony which appeared to read his breast. Soon he oontinued:

I gazed upon the spot where my cottage had stood. It was only amass of glaring coals. How I controlled myself I do not know but somehow an unnatural calm took possession of me. I cannot recollect all I did but I don't know how, I felt that my wife and children had been butchered, and revenge appeared to rise uppermost in my mind. Cautiously I crept across the open field. As I came closer I could see the forms of the savage monsters, seated round the fire, or stretched upon the ground beside it. I got within ten rods ef them without being discovered. Then I could see all. There were nine of the Indians alive and one dead. The half consumed body of my wife lay near tbe dead savage, and I knew that she had killed them in defense of herself and her babes. Then I began to look ronnd for my little ones. My God stranger, where do you think I found them?" fd*

I cannot tell."

You have been revenged 7" A sicklv smile came oyer the face of the hunter as he replied:

Yon have seen the tide flood and ebb a thousand times, and yet it will continue to do so as long as there is an ocean. So with iny revenge."

But what became of the nine savages who had committed the terrible deed 7"

Again that sickly smile shot across the bronzed face of the hunter, but he said:

I don't know but you'll think me just as bad as the savages, but I'm going to tell you for all that. At first I felt Inclined to rush upon tbe savages with my knife, tor I felt that I would be a match for the whole nine. But then I should only kill them. They must die as my babes had done by fire. They must feel my revenge." "What course did you adopt 7" "My first plan was to take them all alive. This was difficult to do but It must be done—so I set about It. Besides my rifle I had a brace of Colt's navy revolvers. I took my position where I could draw sight on every savage and still remain covered myself. I raised one of my weapons, out my hand trembled so that I feared for my aim. I looked up at the blackened remains of iny little ones aivl I became firm as a rock. I raised my hand—It did not quiver. I pulled the trigger, and one of the savages leaped to h.s feet with a yell, and then fell back upon the ground. Nine shots I fired and nine savages shared the same fate."

You killed them all 7" Not one of them such was not my intention."

You wounded them 7" "Yes every one of them bad a leg broken, and so their escape was prevented."

Did they show fight?" "Of course. But In a few momenta eighteen arms were broken by my shots. The demons tried to crawl away when tfcey found how much I hat^ tbe vdvantage of them. Rot It wasn't a bit of use. Within ten rods of each other lav the nine fiends and although they had their weapons with them, they could do nothing but glare upon me and await their doom."

And that doom 7" Can you have a doubt as to what it was V%

You bnrned them, of course." Of course I did. I took the bodies of my children down, and, with their mother, placed them in tbe earth with iny own nands, while the nine demons were burning hung to the same bough where my little ones hsd suffered. Their Mving shrieks were the funeral dirge of my beloved ones."

The hooter sat silent tor a fow momenta, ana then added: walk down »u the black1 since that

'Stranger, if you will I will show has d(

to that spot ened bough time."

I did so. and found It as he hsd stated. Then I asked:

x,

Well, sir, the cabin stood directly under one of the largest branches of that cotton tree. I looked up toward it, for something attracted my attention. Suspended to that limb, 1 saw two blackened bodies, and they looked like human ones, although they were so bnrned and mutilated that they bore very little resemblance to such. Still the truth was plain, and there was no use in shutting my eyes to it."

Did they prove to be your children 7" Yes, stranger. The little ones had been bung up to the bough before the cabin bad been fired, and then roasted in the flames."

Oh, herrible 1" Yes. Had the horror been less, it would have unmanned me. But as it was, made me a man of iron in a moment—it turned my heart to brass, but my blood to liquid fire. Revenge was now my wife and children, food, drink, breath, all that made up life.

4

Are you satisfied 7*' No," he replied fiercely. "If you go through those mountains, every here and there you'll find a blackened bough. You'll notice it more particular on the cotton-tree, because the bark originally is of a whitish color. When vou find such a place, yon can say that Wild Nat has been there, and that an accursed Sioux bss psid the penaltv of his crimes."

Nat's revenge was terrible. But who will ssy that he would sot have done the same under similar provocation

Tbe smallpox is increasing again in Philadelphia, there having Deen fifty deaths last week, or fifteen more than in the week before. If this ratio of increase contihnes,. perhaps the politicians won't care to attend the convention there.

Great reductions have lately taken place in the labor employed in the Woolwich arsenal and in other military factories in England. The deduction from this tact appears to be that the British government does not anticipate hostilities from any quarter at this time.

The Louisville Journal says, and Louisville is not the only place to which the sarcasm will apply: "It is abase calumny to say that we in Kentucky carry on capital punishment by tbe wholesale. We hang only impecunious persons who have been convicted of murder." y'

The Spanish government has at last

ranted a pardon to the medical stusentenced to the chain gang last year for desecrating a graveyard. It is certainly time they were released, for a more barbarous act was never committed. The pardon, however does not reach the poor fellows who were shot.

We do not anticipate the immediate coming of the millenium, but when we read in the German news that the Emperor William is giving the captured French cannon to be maale into bells for the churches, we find the fact gratifying suggestive of the time predicted in Scripture when men shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks.

In theee days of lively peculation, it is pleasant to come across a bit of news of a contrary sort, as we do in the paragraph that tells how Mr. T. N. Latham, a member of the Virginia Senate, has refused to receive his per diem allowance, because sickness prevented him from attending to his Senatorial duties, we do not know what party Mr. Latham belongs to, but the prediction is a pretty safe one that he will be sent to that Senate again.

Alpine county, California, was

Bel-

tied in 1863 in 1864 it cast 1600 votes. There have been only 20 deaths in nine years, as follows: Murdered, four fell from a tree one by avalanche, three in a mine, one by a cave, one consumption, three Infants two whisky, two suffocation in mine and perished in snow, three total twenty. This extraordinarily low death rate is partly accounted for by the fact that there has been no doctor in the county for five years past.

Flour is advancing in the Eastern markets very fast, ana the demand for it is quite active, while wheat has been active both for home and foreign trade. Dealers assert that the Btock of flour in the country is not more than half what it was this time last year, and the supply of wheat in the market Is greatly reduced. A constant increase in expenses may therefore be expected until the new crop comes in, and that will probably start off at abetter price than it has*done for two or three years

Seventy years since several cases of small-pox occurred in aNew YorK village, a house near its outskirts being used as a pest house. A little while ago, it having been occupied during nearly the entire interval as a dwelling, with no case of small-pox or ether unusual sickness, the building was repaired. One of the workmen was taken down with a disease which proved to be malignant small-pox, to which he had not been otherwise exposed than by working in this old pest house.

A member of one of the London Royal college of Surgeons offers to show, from cases underhls care, that vaccination will not only prevent, but cure small-pox. He savs: "If you vaccinate during the febrile stage the fever is slightly increased but the eruption does hot make its appearance and if you vacclnnate during the eruptive stage the eruption is immediately arrested. If the eruption has gone the length of having white tops there is danger of infection if not it dies away as pimples.

Curious incidents of the Chicago fire still come to us. One is that of a£lady who had lust read to her children an acoount of the destruction of Pompeii and Herculaneum before going to bed, to be awakened to witness alike overwhelming of a great city. Another is that of a lady who bad made up a bundle ot cast-off clothing for the poor, which in the confusion was the only thing saved, and which supplied the whole family with garments—charity beginning at home in that case. And another is that of a lady who saved the waists of all her dresses, while a neighbor saved the skirts of all of bers.,

ANew York physician of some eminence has a bran-new medico-penal theory, which with remarkable appropriateness. he calls nosengklematologia. He would imprison or execute all sick men, but would provide nurses, doctors and hospitals for the criminals. The basis for the theory is this: Crime is but symptom of disease, and must scoordlngly be treated on pathological principles while sickness is a universal and invarisble crime producer. Nervous diseases especially tend to crime, and are inherited therefore, let the epileptic be hung, ana, his son Will not be a murderer, nor his grandson a drunkard.

A touching Incident Is reported from Chsttanooga. An utter stranger called on a respectable brmer last week and asked him if his house hsd not been robbed during the war. The farmer replied that it had. "I,"said the stranger, "was one of tbe marauding party that did It. I took a little silver locket," 'That locket," said the firmer, bursting Into tears, "hsd been worn by my dear, dead child."

THE COLOR OF CLOTHING. Tbe color of the clothing is by no means a matter of indifference, white and light-colored clothes reflect the heat while black and dark-colored ones absorb it. White is the comfortable snd fashionable color for clothing in sum mer. It reflects heat well, ana prevents the sun's rays from passing through and heating the body. If white is tne best color for summer, it does not follow that black is the best for winter. It must be remembered that black radiates with great rapidity. Give a coat of white paint to a black steam radiator which is capable of rendering a room comfortably warm at times, and the temperature will fall at once, though the neat producing agency remain tne same as before. A black garment robs the body of a larger amount of heat than white, and consequently the latter color is the best for winter garments. It is tbe best color for both summer and winter. Although this statement may seem like blowing hot and cold, it is nevertheless true. Let those who are troubled with cold feet, and who wear dark socks, change to white, and see if the difficulty is not in part or wholly removed. Utility in color is confined to the different shades merging from dark into light but we find in connec tion with dress all tbe beautiful tints of the rainbow, and these are used for the ornamentation of the person. The rich and varied colors which are so extensively worn are by no means to be condemned adornment of the person to a reasonable extent is commendable. We all love the beautiful in nature, and what adds so much to tbe attractiveness of woman as the ribbons and scarfs, stained with magenta, mauve, or solferino, which adorn her person? Deep in the instincts of our nature is laid the admiration of colors and we love beautiful flowers and birds and —beautifully dressed ladies.—[From Dr. Nichols' Fireside Science.

VERY REMARKABLE IF TRUE.—The Vicksburg (Mississippi) Herald vouches for this, if true, certainly very remarkable fact: "In the blooming, beautiful, balmy May of 1863, one of those dreadful battle-stained years never to be forgotten, General Tighlman fell, shot dead, at the battle of Champion Hill, gallantly struggling In defense oLhie cherished principles. His noble lire ebbed sway on the spot where he fell, and tbe sad earth drank his blood with oager thirstlness. But upon that Immediate spot grew a peach tree that had reached maturity, while its roots steeped themselves in the martyr's blood. Singular to relate, the leaves and fruit of the tree area blood red color. The tree was transplanted, and is now in the orchard ef Dr. J. H. Hebron, of this county. The propagations from the tree are of the same peculiar color. There is something very peculiar about this. We have seen the leaves, and must confess they do look and (to us) smell like blood.

A romantic marriage was solemnized in New York a day or two ago, in the union of a young Journeyman housepainter with the widow or a successful merchant. The lady is quite prepossessing and said to be worth hair a million dollars. Tbe young man was sent to do a job of painting at the lady's residence, a few weeks ago, and the acquaintance thus formed ripened Into a friendship which resulted in the marriage.

A touching story of faithful love comes from Philadelphia. A beautiful young girl became engaged in 1861 to a gallant officer in tbe Union army. At the close of the war he went to California to seek his fortune. She waited patiently for his return, feeling confident that be would yet coine Dackto her. So the years passed gray hairs began to show themselves in her brown tresses, her friends no longer ridiculed her, but pitied her as a monomaniac. Last week her fidelity was rewarded. The lover of her girlhood returned from California, bronzed and bearded, a millionaire with a wife and twins.

Firra AWUB HOTEL,

I sm for Qreetoy! We hava nominated Mr. Greeley on the g-e-l-o-r-i-o-us Democratic-Repub-lican platform, and now, my friends, we mtut elect him. Our candidate is a man of a great many principles. He hss been on both sides of almost every political question, and there is such a good chanoe for our orators!

Listen to me and I'll tell you how we can elect Mr. Greeley: 1. For the New England States we must Instruct our orators to talk the high tariff liodge. They must show Mr. Greeley's record, sad point out how he has always stood for the highest protective tax on cloth, hoopskirts, snd oroide watches, and favored keeping foreign cheap articles out of the market. Then how the Yankee manufacturer will go for him, but—

Out West you must lay low on the tariff. You must say that Horace has one back on protection, and that he Jon't care a darn about it, tor the Western fellows hate tbe New England shoemakers like the devil. They won't vote for a President who would protect manufacturers, for they areshsrp as lightning out there, and they know wnen they wear the boots that if they didn't pay for the protection whistle they would oome a good deal cheaper. Our Western orators must say that Horace will leave the tariff question to Congress, for you know well enough thatne is head and ears for the present high tariff, and that when he is President he can veto any act of Congress to repeal it. The Western fellows will catch at this ambiguous dodge, and they will all go for Horaoe like political sheep. 2. To the reepectable old slave owners of tbe South, read Greeley's old 1862 editorials about "Compensation to owners for emancipated slaves" but—

Thst national slsve buying idea would kill us with tbe old New England Abolitionists. To them read Air. Greeley's defense of John Brown, his editorials on Sharpe's rifles for Kansas slave holders, and say how he stood for Owen Lovqjoy. This will take such men as Gerritt Smith, Fred. Douglas, and Mr. Beecher.

S. For the Southern secessionist's like Alexander Stephens, Jeff. Davis snd Wade Hampton, republish Horace's editorial, "Let the Wayward Sisters go in Peaoe." If this don't satisfy them that our candidate is sound on secession, read them tbe sentiment which Mr. Greeley wrote in 1860: "If any respectable number of tbe citizens of State desire to secede from tbe Governmdnt, I know ot no power which can or ought to restrain them." That will satisfy any reasonable secessionist that in case Mr. Greeley becomes President he can walk straight out of the Union without being troubled by such men as General Grant. 4. To the lovers of Peace say that our candidate went to Niagara Falls to treat with Jake Thompson and C. C. Clay, in regard to acknowledging the independence of the South, and that he came back and wrote advising Lincoln, after Harrison's landing, to "make a peace upon the best attainable terms," —but

To the war men talk about Mr. Greeley's "On to Richmond." 5. Fool tbe editors into believing that Horace is a great farmer, and—

Make tbe farmers believe that he Is a great editor. Neither will suspect tbe dodge. 6. Prove to the Mormons and the people of the Oneida Community bow our candidate was once a Fouriertc, and that be leaned toward and wrote for Free-loveism for years, but—

To sensible married people say that Mr. Greeley is regularly marrledi and that he can show his certificate of marriage at any time in the Tribune office 7. To the cold water people tell the story how our candidate lived for years on vegetables, such as cabbages,turnips and squashes, without a mouthful of meat, but—

To the high livers say that everybody from Dean Richmond down to Lord Gordon, have bought him with a free lunch, and that a good beefsteak would buy foreign ministership. 8. To orthodox religionists say our candidate belongs to the Unlversalist Church, but—

To the world fellows say that he swears like a trooper, and damns everybody in conversation like a Flanders soldier. 9. To the officeholders say Mr. Geeley never declined an office, and that he has run for office eleven times, and has always been defeated, and that he split off from his best friends, Weed and Seward, because they did not give their "junior partner" the New York Postoffice, but—

To the "outs" say —why Horace never held an office in his life—that he wouldn't but don't put the dodge too strong, for they might look up his old letter to Seward—and—

Don't say a word about J. Gould's Eresenting Horace with a farm, nor tell ow he was In the tobacco business with Tweed, but let bis enemies bring that out.

Always flourish Mr. Greeley's quotations. You will find they cover both If they doubt sides of every question your words, say "You lie, you villain, you lie." To the specie payment fellow read this: "The way to resume is to resume.' H. Greeley.

If they contradict you bring up his favorite saying, which will quiet them at once: "When a fool speaks keep silence."— Horace Greeley.
