A Singular Adventure
A Western paper--prints a comrau
n c ition making Ihe announcement of
the supposed exi -fence of a nine of
Albinos on the Itn> Grande, near San
ta Fe. The paper vouches for the
standing and good character of the
writer. The cotinuunicafi n states
that in the month of July, 1845, the
writer was travelling east from the
Pacific, end seeking a gap or pass
through the mountains, which would
lead to the Rio Grande, south of
Santa Fe, he found a passage which
led. into their country. It was n
canon < r thirty n it■ • in length.
F'OM the outlet of • the canou no
travel , about ai 11 ,e, when he lull:..;
three won on and two children, their
skin us white as snow. Immediately
one of the women left the pluee in
liaste, and, about sundown, three men
came riding rapidly down on the
finest horses ho evtr saw. Tin y were
well mounted and well armed. They
immediately dismounted and dis
armed him.
They were white men, etu h as are
frequently seen in Santa Fe, and
sometimes in California; The next
morning early, he was ordered to
mount his mule; one of the ulen rode
ahead of I im, and the two others fol
’owed behind. After riding about
twenty milts they dismounted, and
ordered him to do the same. They
had a short confab together, arid he
was ordered to m tint his mult. They
then gave him all his arms and traps,
with ihe understanding that he was
to make good time ont of the canon,
aud continue going in that direction
without, looking back. From ib.it
point be traveled thirty miles before
he reached an Indian village. It was
that of a tribe of Comanches. When
he told the chief, by signs, that he
came out of those mountains, he was
afraid of him. ll<- said that the}
were the abode of the evil spirit, an t
that no Indian that went into those
mountains ever returned from them.
He describes the country as circular
surrounded by steep and high moun
ts tins, covered with snow, without a
break or pass.

Index to Marriage.
If a girl expresses a fondness for
in jestic men, with large whiskers,
make up your miud that she will marry
a very small man with none. If she
declares that “mind” is all she looks
for, expect to see her stand before the
al ar with a pretty fellow who has
just sense enough to tie a cravat bow.
If on the contrary she declares she
must, have a handsome husband, look
about yon for the plainest person in
her circle, “that is the man,” for it
will be.
Men are almost as bad. The gen
tleman who desires a .wife, of mind,
u : i " os a lisping baby who screams
at the sight o! a mouse, and hides her
face when she hears a sudden knock
at the door. And the gentlemen who
dreaded anything like strong minded
ne s, exulted in the fact that his wife
is even thing he declared he detested.
If any two people declare them
selves “fr ends and nothing more,”
you may know vvljat will come next.
There is no hypocrisy in all this
and such matches are invariably the
happiest. People do not know them
selves, and make great mistakes about
their indentions. Love is terribly
perplexing wheu he first begins to up
set one’s theories, and when his ar
row first pierces the heart there is
such a fluttering there that it is hard
to guess t-: =e-cause. Besides man pro
poses and God disposes, and it is the
“1 don’t kuow what” with which peo
ple fall in love, and not those peculi
arities which could be given iu a pass
port.
JSi-g-Tbrce students at college met
an aged countryman, and wishing to
have a little sport, thus accosted him.
The first said, “Good morning, father
Abraham,” the second, “Good morn
ing, father Isaac/’ and the third,
“Good morning, father Jacob.’ The
old gentleman replie 1, “1 am neither
Abraham, Isaac, nor Jacob, but I am
Saul the son of Kish, who went to
seek his father's asses, and lo 1 I have
found three of them.”
tfaT - The Tennessee lawyer who
resorted to the insanity dodge in be
half-of his negro client, and expatia
t and to some 1. ngth upon the absolute
idiocy of the poor fellow, met with
some opposition from tlm darkey him
self, who exclaimed: “You can hang
rue. or send me to the penitenebery, or
say Is a tascal, but, Mister, please
don’t say I’se a fool again.”
£®“A lady had her dress trimmed
with bugles before going to a bull.
Her little daughter wanted to know if
the bugles would blow when she
and in-t (1. “Oh no, said the mother,
oapa will do that when he sees tho
bill.”
frtg* “Young gentlemen, do not got
into the habit of betting,” said a pro
fessor to his (lass. “No kind of a bet
is ex ‘usable—in fact, ever bet is a sin
as wll as a maik of vulgarity. Have
nothing to do, young gentlemen, with
a bet of any kind.” “That. I suppose,
puts a finisher upon our dear old
friend the alphn-bet,” exclaimed one
of the students. The professor
smiled blandly upon the young man,
and gave him fifty extra hues cf
Greek.
