'I wehe choice and well tried men were chosen j Then came the query—who is aide and willing to take command of this squad.' It must he some man who can tad. with the different Indian tribes through which they may have to pass in pursuit of the Mexicans. Luckily for the squad, at this moment Boh Carson rode up, well mounted oa his favorite limiting horse Leo, A shout from the twelve brave men hid him welcome; then* object and requesting him to take command. Noth ing suited Carson better than this. He told Capt. Price tl at he could fol low a cold trail as fast as any living man could, and to give himself no unea siness, that lie wcuid bring his twelve men back and not loose a scalp. The sequel shows how he succeeded. The second day out they struck the trail; late in the evening they saw in the distance a large party of Indians, j and as they were on friendly terms with the different tribes, Cais-ti aid his band hurried to overtake them, hoping to gain j some information conccrnii g the stock. The Indians saw them approaching and halted I r them to come up. As Carson and his men mine nigher, Ins keen eye discovered they were on the ■war path, hut knowing m fear, he rode op, and the Indians, 1,400 strong, closed wings and cemph tely surrounded them. Sandivcre, the chief, rode up to Carson, exclaiming: "Yeds tedoly”—you arc my prisoner! ; Carson, after questioning the cliiet a short time, found that they were u ! s*> in pursuit of lest stock, stolen as they Con- j siderrd by the U. S. 'iro< [s. '1 ho Mexicans had told him this tale to screen themselves. But all of intrigue could not induce Sundivere to release him and l:is twelve men. The next morning the old chief com menced making preparations to shoot and scalp his prisoners. Carson called him aside for a talk, and finally persua ded him to send one of ins best runners to Capt. Price’s camp, and if things were not found just as represented, that on the fourth day from the departure of said runner, at twelve o’clock, lie might do with his pi is mere as lie pleased. The runner started. Carson and his men, sanguine tiiat everything would prove satisfactory to the chief, remained their prisoners, cheerful and happy. On the morning < f the lumtli all were momentarily exp cting the runner to appear. Ten o’clock came and no run ner in sight; 11 and no runner in sigl t Everything in camp was excitement and commotion.

The chief was much interested and pleased with this donation, and by this lime they were eighty or one hundred yards final the Indian Camp, when Car een, with the dexterity of an old moun - taineer, pulled from his boot !eg an ugly looking holster pistol, cocked and pie j sented directly in the face of tl.c old chief exclaiming: “Stand , sii! yon are my prisoner.” “What do you mean?” asked Sau di vr re. ‘I mean inst what I say—if you move j ore inch y* u ;u* a dead man.’ The Indians seeing their chief in dan- i ger, started to bis rescue, lint Carson ; told him to notion Lis moo hack, or lie would shout him on the spot. TliO old ] chief, well knowing tl'c man lie had to: deal with, instantly c* mplied and mo- j tinned li sm< u b ick. Carson then told j him to order up bis twelve men with ’ their horses just as lie received them, and j Leo with them. Ties was instantly j complied with. Carson then mounted j the old chief behind one ot his men and ■ stalled for Capt. Price’s camp, when Pandivere found things as represented 'ey Carson. The runner had lie ri there 1 ut had lost the trail, which had caused the delay. Capt. Price gave the chief j many presents, ami escorted him to his ; tribo, lie over afterwards was a true | friend to the whites, and in many install- : cis did very valuable service.

As missionaries in the mor jal cause of (cachin’ the iineunstructed I Southerners liow to run tin- government | on the free ami moral plan, wo have hu! : fen and horrois like unto the martyrs in F.-x’k illustrated pic.toi ial, exceptin’ that wo ain’t hern persecuted in our religious belief, of which wo never had any to speak of. For a while wo got along first rate in O'tr pursuits. By a pron isdn’ the nig - gers forty acres of land and a mule, and a takiu ’ their small change to pay lor j eertificatf s, we got ’em to vote us in t. -slice, and hud tilings all our own way. j The uncmistructed Southerners didn’t have nothing to say, because .they thought it wasn’t any of their govern- | meat, and it wasn’t their put in. But j when wo got to makin’ 'em pay big I ax es for constructing thorn, they began to think it was a good deal their foiierc! al (cr all, and commenced howlin’. As the niggers didn't get anv land or mule to speak of, they ungratefully refused to vote for us any longer, and wouldn’t be satisfied until we divided the offices and profits with them. Since then things haven't been so peaceful as they was, and the South is a borderin’ on a revo In lion, which compels us to arrest the fellows that giuiuhle aipl make trouble. I’oace and our offices must bo preserved | at a'l hazards. Then came bloody assassins, the Kn] Klux, and throwod the country into ter- J air and confusion and blocked the wheels ! of construction, and scared all the little children and old women at the .North! into conniption fits.

Is this the land of lib erty and equal lights, when such out rages are allowed to pass unrebuked ?

After a pleasant ramble around, well phased with what I had seen, 1 arrived at tho outside of the building where il was customary tor the country people to display and dispose of their produce. Seeing a barrel us apples, I enquired the ■ rice. ‘Only fifty’ said Ihe owner. ‘Are they ns good as they appear?' a.ked I, taking one in my hand. ‘Yes, sir, they are picked fruit.’ ‘1 do not believe a word of that,’ seem ingly spoke a man in a gruff voice, who had just stopped with a basket of eggs. •Neither do 11’seemingly said a tall thin looking woman, ill a squeaking tone as she walked up to the apples, a bask, et on each urvn—one containing a calf’s head, and the other a variety of vegeta bles. ‘1 don’t care what yon believe, sir, or what, you think, madam,’ answered the apple vender, looking angry at the par- At the ch).so of Ike latter sentence, the loud cry of child proceeded from the barrel, which produced no little amaze ment, all the parties started back with aff'i ighl and surprise. The woman declared any riinn who concealed a child in a barrel of apples iv; H a brute. ‘That is my opinion,' said the egg man.

A NICK GIRL. Though that class of girls is by no means extinct, still they are not s) nu merous us might be wished. There is nothing half so sweet in life, half so beautiful or delightful, or so loveable us a nice girl. Not a pretty or a dashing girl. One of those lovely, lively, good hearted, sweet-faced, amiable, neat, natty domestic creatures met within the sphere of‘home,’ diffusing around, the influence I of goodness, like the essence ot sweet! (lowers. A nice giil is not the laughing beauty dawdling on a m.-fa, and discussing' the last novel or opera, or the giraffe-like creature sweeping majestically through the drawing-room. The nice girl may not even play or dance well, and knows nothing about using her eyes or coquett ing with a fan. She never languishes, she is too active. She is not given to sensation novels, she is t*.o busy. In public she is not in front showing her shoulders; she sits quiet and nnobstru sive at the back of the crowd most like ly. In fact it is not often wo discover her. Homo is her place. Who rises betimes and superintends the morning meal? IVho makes the toast and tho tea, and buttons tho boy’s skirls, and waters tl e flowers, ami feeds tho chickens, and brightens up the par lor mid sitting room. Is it the languish or, or the giraQ'e, or the “elements?”— Not a bit of it; it’s tho nice voting girl. Her maiden toilette is made in the shortest possible time, yet how charm ingly it is done, and how elegant her neat dress and collar! Not presenting her check or brow like “a fine girl,” but an audible smack, which says plainly “1 love you ever so much.” If you covert anything, it’sono of the nice young girl’s ki ses. Breakfast over, down in the kitchen to see about dilium, and all day long she is up and down, always cheerful and light— hearted. She never censes to he active and useful until the day is gone, when she will polka with the boys, or read, sing old songs or play old tunes to her father and mother for hours together.— She is a perfect treasure, is the nice girl. When sickness comes it is she who at tends with unwearying patience in the -ick chamber. There is no iisk, no fati gue that she will not. undergo; no sacri t'oi that, ihe will not make. She is all love, all devotion. I have often thought it won] I be happiness to be ill, to be watched by m.c'.i 1- v.ug eyes, and tended by such a fair hand. One of ihe rnn-t strorgly marked char act,eristics of a “nice girl” is tidiness and simplicity of dress. She is invariably associated in my mind with a nigh dress plain collar, arid the neatest of neck rib bons, bound with the most modest little brooch in tho world. I never knew a ‘ nice girl” v/ho lispl tyed a profusion of rings and bracelets, or who wore low dresses or a splendid bonnet. I say again, there is nothing in tho wi ild half so lien.t ifill, half so intrinsi cally good as a “nice girl.” Rhe is the sweetest flower in the path of life. There are others far more stately, far more gorgeous, but, these wo merely admire as vve go by. It is where the daisy grows that we like the rest, Th© Troubles of a Man whose Wife Belonged to a Society.
