He re eenlly related to us an amusing anecdote ofliiniself, which we here take the liberty of publishing. Some seven or eight years since, when the Indians on the frontier ofTexas Were less hostile than now the Colonel was trav elling through the Camatiche country alone. Onapproaehittg one of the villages, he was ruet by a patty who surrounded and to’ok bin prisoner. He was carried in the vil liaro, and the treatment he there received was at first such as gave him Some appre hensions that the Indians would kill Mi; j Hesaw no possibility of escaping. But he appeared contented, and made every | manifestation of friendship by distributing I the contents of his saddle-bags in presents ito those arouuiMiim. Among other tilings he gave them beads, paints, &c., which | seemed to delight the natives amazingly'/ | The Colonel witnecssed litis with pleasure, ; and he to feel himself safe again. Hut his joy was not allowed 1 to continue j long. Soon a large number of squaws | came to him singing yelling and datufing ; arid taking him by force conveyed him to a creek, whereafter divesting him of his ap pearel, they soused hittw)4o the water nek and heels. After this immet sfott; the squaws oid ones and yotrng ones, splashed in after hint and gave him such a ducking the poor Cofciel (bought his “time was come” and he tried to cotrsode himself with the old say ing that “lie who is drowned will never be hanged,” although he found it ra-tber eoki comfort for it was hi- the month of Decem ber. llis murderers —as lie was forced to view them—would sieze him by the head aud holding it under the water, would rwb it and puli at it like, hungry ducks “light-* 4ng on Jinte bogs,” He stood it manfully —like a alter Do4dt*g his breath under wafer until he almost burst hf. boiler with a trcme-dloui! effort lie wouhf throw his b* al > ve sm faee snd snorting like a sea horse, bloxV the wa ter far and near. This was rare sport to his torireiitors who, scarcely giving him \ j time to breath would pounce upon his red j VOL. I. NO. 5 1. head, and expose him to the tfititte trpcratioif again. This warn open ted until the Colonel was almost used up, and the squaws themselves? appeared to he fatigued. Filially our hero discovered.that they had been trying tit wash the red olf his hair, and bring it to tho natural color. The Indian's had never be fore seen a man with red Itair ; his appear ance therefore surprised them ; ami after trying in vain to wash tho red paint o(Tthey completely cropped It tut dint etfeli one ta king a part oil’ the curiosity, carefully wrapped it in a rag. They then Ic'd him Into the village agait/ where they kept him for several weeks.

For some years post there had been residing inf the viiliage of Ugifdr,- a charitable individu al named Don Vincente de Bcnlavaly-S.t zar, whose whole fortune wrfff devoted to improving the condition of the vil/a’gers and relieving the poor. To sucli an extent did Don Yincontc carry his charity that lie de nied himself almost the necessaries of life in ortlef to succor the nccessttods, find fte Imd been known to take the cloak from his own back to cover that of a poor female* who was without one. Suddenly the peaceful inhabitants of this vrtlifge werd alarmed at accounts of murders Committed in their neighborhood ami all attculpls to discover their origin was vain. It was merely known from’ the circumstances at tending thetri that/they must have been com mitted by the same hand—Suddcnl / how ever the mystery was to he rcrctlled.. Two peasants, who hail entered a recess to shel ter themselves from the sun anil cat their mid-day meal were startled by ‘the firing ofa gun and running out they saw the hotly oi'a murdered man and the ntui defer stan ding over him rifling his pockets. They threw themselves upon the assassin and having secured him were in’ the gretfteVt astonishment at Seeing (haft it was tlfc char-’ itahlc Don Yincerfte. As the denied ol'Jhe crime before him was impossible he admit ted that lie was the author of all the rnur- ‘ tiers which had been committed and stated that \hh otdy motive was to obtain money hi* own resources being exhausted Mr the’ poor. In his tl (deuce before the judges, lie declared that hi* first nVurdcr that of it wealthy priest took place under the follow ing circumstanCeSi lit Don Vincertte’s village’ two young persons were betrothed (o each other but a sudden calamity which occured to the father of the female prevented Ms paying the promised por’ an with Ins daughter’ and the marriage was on tlife poifit of be-’ ing broken off. Don Vincente hearing of the circumstance, resolved to raise the’ money and applied to several of Ms ac-’ quaintanecß for the loan but received a re fusal from all. Shortly afterwords he met the priest on his rOaddnd asked him to lend him 30 ounces of gold ; the priest who knew him well replied that he had 100 ounces in his portmanteau on the back of his mule, and that lie was welcome to it all; but Don Vincentg having afterwards in his joy told him for what purpose the'trionfey watt in tended the priest laughed at him and said lie was mad and that for such a purpose hes should not have a single ounce.
