Twenty Year* All,nil|r tire Iiiillnns. The editor of the Springfield, Illinois, Republican lias recently scenn mail, whose name is Janies C, Kimball, who was cap tured ill 1848, In company with others, while going across thu Plains to California, by a hand of Snake and Shoshone Indians. His lift, since that titife; has been one of ad ventures, us the tribe is one of exceeding barbarity. Homarrieda young girl about sixteen yenrs old, who lmd been captured when a mere infant, who docs not remem ber her maiden name. lie married in 1851, and has five children. She could not speak a word of English, hut was learned by him to read by cutting letters in bark. In all that time lie never had a thing to rend but n testament, which ho found in the moun tains. This is highly prized by him, as it was the means of civilizing his wife, llo was captured ny Gen.

York World gives the annexed account of Ccs- pedes, tho civil and military leader of tho Cuban revolutionists: Carlos Manuel C'cspcdes was born about forty-five years ago, in tho town of Hava- mo, Cuba. Tho first twelve years of ids life were spout with Ids parents, who re sided on u plantation In the vicinity.— With them no only learned tho first rudi ments of reading, writing and arithmetic, widle at thu same time he indulged in those hardy employments and health-giv ing games wldoh are consequent to a life in a country naturally mountainous and. frill of forests. Ills family having moved when he was twelve wars of age to tho town of Rayamo, Carlos Manuel was sent there to school fu$ tho first time. A few days after tho commencement of Ids studies there, lie gave proofs of nn ex traordinary mental activity and intellec tual talents, leaving behind him the most advanced of thu scholars in the school, and being recognized hy them as the head of the institution. AVnen eighteen yenrs of age, he,went to Havana, with the ob ject of prosecuting his studies there for the law profession. His great intellectu ality was ftivther developed there, at the same time that numerous personal affairs gave him an opportunity to show his ac tive, courageous and tenacious diposition, giving an indication then that he would bo as “great in war as in peace.” Grad uating as attorney-at-law in Europe, where lie went afterwards, and receiving tlte greatest university honors, be return ed to Cuba and fixed ids residence at Man zanillo. llis powers of eloquence, ener gy, and his knowledge soon made bun the the most popular man in tho vicinity, and entitled bun to rank as tho first lawyer in that part of the country. But of all trails in his character, generosity marks an im portant one, and will give a lustre to all ins future actions. Thu fortune which he inherited front his Hither, the wealth which he amassed by his industrious exertions, and his future prospects of increasing it, would have secured him a life full of com fort and ease; but his patriotic heart could not support longer the sight of ills coun try in chains and the victim to the out rages of the tyrnnicul Spanish government. .Inspired by a heroic resolution, he gives freedom to all his slaves, abandons Ins su gar estates to the merciless fury of Ids Spanish foes, who burn them all in re venge, and, sacrificing all ou the altar of liberty and Independence, with the noblest motives be inaugurates the revolution in Cuba at the head of one hundred patriots —a movement which now counts In its ranks the whole native population of the island.

A Thrifty CIiov Shortnci«y of Tlmo In Dreniiix. Out* of the most remarkable phenomena connected with dreams is the shortness of time needed for consummation. Lord Brougham says tiiat in dictating, a man may frequently fall asleep after uttering a few words, and be awakened by the amanuensis repeating the last word, to show that lie. has written tlte whole; but though live or six seconds only have elaps ed between the delivery of tlte sentence and its transfer to paper, tho speaker may have passed through a dream extending through half a lifetime. Lord Holland and Mr. Babbage both confirm this theo ry. The one was listening to tv friend reading aloud, aud slept from the begin ning of the sentence to live latter part of the sentence immediately succeeding, yet during this time lie had a dream, the par ticulars of which it woul;l have taken more than a quarter of an hour to write. Mr. Babbage dreampt a succession of events, and awoke in tinvo to hear the concluding words of a friend's answer to a question he had just put to him. One man was liable to fvelhigs of su (lo cation, accompanied by a dream of a skel eton grasping his throat, whenever he * an atten- ho sunk down. But, though awakened thu mo ment lie. began to sink, that time sufficed for a long struggle with the skeleton. An other man dreampt that he crossed the Atlantic, spent a fortnight in America, and fell overboard when embarking to re turn; yet his sleep had not lasted more than ten minutes. ul Ln i Fn vkot—selet i-.l with »the refilled taste ick ot Shoot Music, Instructors; Italian Striims.

This so frightened tho bereaved family that they were about to “sellout” and -sock a home else where, when a friend from a distance came to pay them a visit, and to whom the condition of nflairs was related: upon which the visitor, being a man of courage, expressed his desire of seeing the ‘•ghost.” Accordingly,whennightcame, he posted himself in the room at the foot of the stairs, and, being well armed, lie patiently waited for the appearance of the “ghost.” As usual, about midnight, it was heard in the garret of the house, and wus soon seen coming down the stairs. As it advanced, thu “sentinel” at tho foot of the stairs commanded itto “hall;” hut not obeying his command, he struck it, on what he Supposed to be its head, with a weapon selected for. that purpose.

We do not know anything about said saloon, but Jim says he keens splendid whisky, and we suppose lie does, for he buys of Barrett & Craig, and they were never known to sell any mean whisky—oh, no! Jim thinks tiie weary traveler should stop at his rancho and ‘wet his whistle,* ns it will help him along amazingly. No .doubt it will help him to squander his money, waste his time, destroy his health, beggar his fami ly, gain tho contumely of society, embit ter his whole life, make a widow of his wife and orphans of his children, cause him to fill a drunkard’s grave, damn his soul and make more work for the devil.— Docs this putVsuit you, .Jim ?

The coal^ficnd is killing its victims con stantly. Anything which will avert the danger should be known. Tlio Burling ton Argvs says: “The explosion is caused by a practice of neglecting to cut oil tliccharrcd portions of the wick when the lamp is filled: obser vation will show that iu a few days uso the wick becomes like charcoal in compo sition, for an inch below the top of tho tube containing it, and after the lamp has burned a short time, the heated tube fires all the charred portion of the wick inside, and that set* the oil on lire below. This may he prevented hy cutting oll’a sufficient portion of the charred wick each day after using the lamp.” An Accommodating Conductor.

Tho editor of the New York Sun has discovered a “living hell in a cubic inch of raw sugar.” By a microscopic view he lias seen myriads of horrible looking in sects as largo as beetles and shaped like crabs, with drcadftil legs, claw-piercers, slmrp pointed spears, and a terrible head, covered with ugly lips; ravenous and rest less, always falling foul of each other, or attacking great joints of sugars. He con cludes: The way these marvels came to light was this: A spoonful of raw, coarse sugar, was dissolved in about three times the quanti ty of water, when, as with a conjuror’s rod, the animalcules sprang to the surface, and floated there, swimming about, and up and down like tiie beasts that wriggle in soft water tubs, and finally turn Into flies resembling mosquitoes, but harmless. These sugar animalcules, or acarus saccha ric ns the scientific men call them, were then gathered up in a spoon and placed under a glass magnifying about two hun dred times. They could he seen, however, with the naked eye, to begin with, but not in their hideousness until the object glass brought it out. It has been proved that in every pound of unrefined, raw sugar, there are 100,CCD of these acari. In fifteen grains weight, Dr. Jlassall, of London, found one hundred of these insects; and Dr. Harder, of the Itoyal College of Sur geons, Ireland, found 1,400 m forty-five grains weight, or 208,000 in a pound. Worse still; as a matter of ecsthctlcs, this is the very same insect that bores Into the skin of Us victims in Scotch beds, and treats them to a taste of the “Scotch fid dle,” alias tiie itch, A Man Murries lijrt Mother. It will be remembered by many of our citizens that at a wedding, which,was sol emnized near Hustyhut, Georgia, somo time in 1845, that tno bride’s father was killed in a difficulty with tho brother of her husband. It is, to those acquainted with tiie circumstances, known that tho bride of hut a few hours attempted to kill her husband with a pistol. The wife and husband parted. She went to an interior village in Texas, and he remained, until the war. peaceably upon his plantation— although he married in the meantime, and to pirn was born a son, which son entered tho army of the Confederate States, and followed the banners of Dick Taylor, Mn- gruder and other of tho noblo chieftains who commanded the soldiers around the Gulf. After the war the young man wandered about through the Gulf btates and finally located in Texas, where his father’s former wife lived. She had resumed her maiden name, and was tho proprietress of a large and well paying hotel, where she had ac- cumulatednn immense fortune. Arriving at tho village tlio young man stopped at the hotel, and was well provided for by the enterprising matron. Neither knew the relation of one to the other, aud al though there is a vast difference in their ages—he but a stripling youth and she a well preserved, comely woman of nearly forty—an intimacy sprang up between them which ripened into affection and re sulted in the proposition by tho young man of marriage. lie was accepted, and in a few days the quiet hotel was the scene of marriage revelry. Tims the solemu wed ding ceremony united a man to the wile of his rather—his mother, nearly—and to the would-be assassin of his father. Verily, truth is stranger than fiction—a man mar ries his mother.'—Athena (Alabama) Post. Amly Johnson ns a Tailor. A recent letter fr’om Greenville says: I had a long and interesting conversa tion yesterday with an old gentleman, a tailor by trade, who formerly worked in Johnson’s shop. He says that Andy was the best tailor ho ever saw, and that coats made by him never ripped. 1-Iia work was not only substantial, out neat and tidy.— All the young bloods about Greenville, who parted their hair behind, and stalked about with gold-headed canes, used to patronize •Andy, as it wus the current report that a young fellow who wore a full suit of Johnson’s cut and make could marry quicker, and stood higher with the ladies than others. When Johnson was elected Alderman there was about as much honor in the po sition ns there would be in owning a lien and chickens, and it is said that the young fellows about town elected him for li joke. Two years afterward he was chosen Mayor. In 1835, when he was first elected to tho Legislature, lie quit the tailoring business for the time being: but the next session, when lie was defeated, he again resumed his old place ou the workman’s bench. “Talking: llor'nc.’* The Cincinnati Enquirer gets off the following which Id the close observer, ex plains itself: Wanted.—A young man,of respectable parentage and good looks, desires to cor respond with a young lady of similar qual ities, tv ith a view to matrimony.

Young J.

Tho correspondent says in his letter that the cocoons are open at either end, and not perforated at the tlmo the worm makes its escape. Tho worm is chiefly found on rose bushes, hut In tho latter part of the sum mer, when It begins to spin, travels into every accessible place, henco you will sco among these specimens ono plucked from an arbor vitro, enclosed in the leaves of tho willow. They oven clamber upon houses, it is not till Into in the fall that they ultimately tlx thcmsolves.

Nono hut a low, contemptible, Northern white snenk would so far forget his Caucassinn blood as to smell and bow around a negro, as it is said tho Radicals in Congress did on this occasion: “In tho Senate Dunn, of Louisiana, a colored man, was warmly and courteous ly received by all tho Republican Senators, nearly all of whom in turn shook hands and emitted with him for several minutes. He was similarly received in tho Houso, and hold quito a levco near one of the cloak rooms." Ntranffo Words from n Itniltcnt. In a recent issuo of tho St. Louis Demo crat, ono of tho ablest and most extreme organs of Radical sentiment, we find these strange words: As wo have already said, the expulsion of negro members of the Legislature docs not or itself form any justification for Con gressional interference. The right to de cide whether negroes aro eligible to the Legislature belongs to the Legislature it self; it is not provided hy the Fourteenth Amendment nor by the Reconstruction acts, that negroes shall be eligible to olllce, and if they ere so by nny inference front legal or constitutional provisions, the ques tion is ono which must first bo settled in tho United States Courts. Neither does the refusal to ratify the Fifteenth Amend ment justify interference; If Georgia is competent to ratify an amendment it is also competent to reject it. The Newere of Mow York.
