Thrilling Advent are of a Minnesota
Girl with Indians.
On the border of Green Lake,
in Minnesota, there lived asturdy,
white-haired frontiersman named
Walter Brown. lie was one of
th<?e adventurous spirits ever to
be found iu-the van of advancing
civilization?always courting the
free, wild air of the prairie, and rejoicing
in tlie profound depths of
the nninhntiiited forests. But the
country grew moro and more
thickly NUled, and Walter Brown
became uneasy. 11 is wife had
homo bins daughter', the third
or fourth, year of thair residence
at the head waters of tlip St. proix,
whom lie called Leonora. She wa?
a good girl and the idol of her fltther.
He purchased a rifle for her
wpW she was.but twelve .v<>ars of
age, and took the utmost pains in
teaching her the use of it. She
was brave, and steady of nerve,
and soon acquired wonderful skill
as a shot; and the number of prairie
chickens, partridges, and wild
weterfowle and other small game,
, .would shoot a deer, and one eventful
morning, bv a . lucky afiot
r >h1roglr fWeje into the brain, she
killed a bear.*
. W '*rt? aleVwiue hbme with tlie
i news, bar fbther Could hardly crcd

. truthful nature, he danced abonl
the house for joy, and seizing the
sftfjjy "little matd, he niOoefe<]

Thicker and thicker flowed ttic

, ed " felt Walter Brown. At lengt)
Ms wife died. Leonora was ther
sixteen, and engaged to be marriec
, to a handsome young trapper bj
i the natno of Watson, who hat:
* joined her father in business.

i ning to grow rapidly, be did not
* wish to abandon or sell It jost then,
t and, ptirsnadtng Leonora to agree
to write to him when she got set|
tied he bade ber an affectionate
goodbye.
Brown lived at hie new home for
i' three or four years in peace and
1 quiet, finding good trappings and
. bunting grounds, when all at once
voting Watson arrived and renewed
tho proposal of marriage with
Leonora. The old man had about
determined to move no more, and
had accordingly located and preempted
sfeterad thousand acres of
land about Him; and learning from
W at son that he lrad money enongh
to do likewise, proposed that he
should go down to St. Panl, and
buy land warrants with his money,
and take up all the land aronnd
the-oold 44 swing," and he might
mArry Leonora, and they two
would go to work, and after build
InirjiJcnjT of stabling, etc., would
get oh a good stock of cattle and
sheep, and try' and lead a quiet
pastoral life lor the reat ot their
days.
To this proposition the yonng
man heartily assented, and, after
returning from 8t. Panl, and
old Walter took tbeir axes and
went bra rely to work in the woods,
felling trees for bnilding purposes.
It was agreed that at first that they
should build a pew hewed loghouse
for the nhited' family, as
Walter had only put np a small
single-roomed cabin ; and then the
wedding was to take place, and the
two men were to resume their
work. ' , it
While thus hudly engaged, the
Sioux war broke out. It was the
habit of Leonora to take the rifle
every morning and shoot prairie I
chickens for the table, while ber
lover and fa*her were herd at work
on the new house. Watson had
brought her as a present from St. i
Paul, alight and handsome revolving
rifle, of which she was iin
mensely fond, and with which she
became so expert that she could
shoot a duck or prairie chicken on
the wing with almost absolute cer
tainty.
One morning as she was strol
ling about the lake, rifle in hand,
she noticed three canoe loads of Indians
paddling along the opposite
/ side of the water, steadily and
stealthily approaching the spot
where her father and lover were
at work. She did not immediate
ly apprehend any tragedy, but |
some unaccountatile way, slio felt
impelled to wait and watch their
motions. She therefore concealed
herself behind the top of a fallen
tree, and observed their movement*,
which crew more and mure
suspicions. Tnere were two In
dians in each canoe, and after they
bad paddled steadily to a point
where a thick, over-hanging birch
tree afforded concealment for their
canoes, they .disembarked, and
. crCpt carefnlly and noiselessly forward
until they were within a few
( feet of where the two unsuspecting
men were chopping. Suddenly,
I with a yell which made the forest
I ring, and which echoed, end re,
ethoed across the broad, still lake,
they sprang upon their victims and
;
ment and apprehension, expecting
r nothing less than to witness the
> -horrible butchery *of her father
, and lover at once.

the arms of the captives behind
I them, they ^ook them to the ca,
noes, where, taking the old man
' into one and the young man into

in the lake and paddled rapidly
; down towards where the honse
i stood, Leonora divined their in

( 44 Ha I" she said to herself,44 they

ENYILLE, SOUTH CAB0LI1
knew that, to roach the house, the
Indians would bare to pass across
a broad, flat field where there wad
no shelter tor their persons. She
did not think tbey would hesitate
to do till* h*MllM liawinr* tka fw?o
men, tbey wonld hardly expect
any resistance from a single girl.
About thirty yards to the right, a
cattle-yard had been erected by
her father, and in one corner of
the fence stood an immense elm
tree. Inside of this yard climbed
Leonora, and behind the big elm
she concealed herself.
few minutes more proved she
was tight hi her conjecture#. The
Indiana after having tied stout
rawhide thongs Around the feet of
their prisoners, laid them down in
the bottom of the canoes, and taking
their guna with them, strode
gaily ana laughingly along to
warda the houso, without attempt
at concealment.
Leonora's heart grew as hard as
stone, and her nerves, which had
fluttered a little before, now arrow
as firm as steel. She had put fresh
water proof cape upon each nipple
of her rifle, and, resting the barrel
upon the rati, she drew a sharp
bead npon the foremost one ; but
as her finger carved to press the
trigger, she heard what actually
seemed to bo a voice whisper :
" Not jet, Nora."
She pansed, and then, as by inspiration,
flashed this thought into
her mind:
44 Wait till they get nearer the
house, then shoot the hindmost one
first."
She obeyed the impression, and
let thein come on a few yards
nearer. Suddenly, the thought
came again :
44 Now's your time !"
Clapping her face to the rifle
breech, she trained the death telling
tube steadily npon the chest
ot the rearmost Indian for an instant,
and fired.
The bullet sued true to its mark,
and the burly Indian merely threw
up big arms and fell dead?the
rifle ball having gone directly
throngh bis heart.
A clap of thunder from a clear
sky could not have so utterly astounded
the remaining Indians.
*IT 1 11 . ? * *
n naiy tuey looked in erery direction,
to see from whence came the
fatal shot, and the next instant
bang went Leonora1* rifle again,
and another of their jiotnber dropped
dead.
But they eaw the smoke of the
last shot and caught a glimpse of
the shooter. At once they comprehended
their peril. They could
not hide, and their only show for
life was in rushing to the tree and
tomahawking their presumptuous
foe on the spot; instantly sounding
the war-whoop, they bounded forward
; but with notes half nttered,
another of their nnmbor bounded
into the air, and fell back to rise
no more. Leonora bad fired again.
The remaining three rushed on,
but again the brave girl's rifle
rang out like the knell of gloom,
and the fourth savage fell headlong
to the ground. The terror
of the remaining two was painful
to behold. They stopped snort in
their onward course, and, uttering
the most fearful screams, discharg
ed their rifles at the tree in the
wildest and most unavailing man
ner. Again that relentless rifle
blazed, and another of the remain
iiik iwo hoi to me ground as the
bullet went crashing tbrougii his
brain.
Immediately the one left threw
down his gun and cried ont:
" No shoot me! No shoot me t
Me give up !n
Leonora had drawn a bead on
him, bnt now that he seemed so
perfectly in her power she lowered
her rifle, and, stepping from behind
the three climbed the fence
briskly, and commenced approaching
the savage, o"*
The snrprise and indignation of
the Indian at the sight of the girl
was intense; and, forgetting his
supplicating-cry, he pnt his hand
beliind him and drew forth bis
tomahawk to throw at her.
Leonora's eyes were sharp as an
eagle's. She saw the treacherons
move, and just as the bright blade
of the hatchet glcamoa for the
throw, she raised tier rifle and shot
the faithless scoundrel dead in his
tracks.
With tbe speed of the deer she
now bounded forward to the lake.
Harry Watson shouted?
" Glory hallelujah ! I knew it
was Nora," and the father cried
for joy, aS her lithe t< rm appeared
on the blafF, rifle in hand. Quick*
ly she descended to the canoes and
unbound th# tare men, wlia embraced
Iter and aried over her, in
the most extravagant manner.
But tbey felt that they bad no
titpe to and hastily rearing
no,their teams, and loading up
tnefo valuables, they set out for

safely, and Where Nora Brovt and

Old Walter Brown and Harry
Watson both did good service in
the Indian battles which followed ;
and, when the savages were finally
exterminated, they all went
back to their old homes on Green
Lake, where they now live. Thqy

Cinohsaa Cultivation at the South, i
W n !4l -IK *- - '
?? ? uutci v? wiiu pleasure iusi
tbe people of the Southern States are
tnruing their attention to the cultivation
of a free!: variety of products,
instead of confining themselves, as
heretofore, to a few great staples.
It has not escaped their notice that
among the most valuable of the
vegetable creation is the Cinchona
tree, of Peru and Bolivia, and it is
now asserted, on excellent authority,
that in the highlands of South
Carcrtina, are regions of country
perfectly adapted For the cultivation
of a plant which furnishes the
sole remedial agent in a large class
of disenses. We refer to a letter
from Lardner Gibbon, Esq., of
Greenville county, South Carolina,
to the United States Commissioner
of Agriculture. Mr. Gibbon was
formerly a Lieutenant in the navy,
and in tbe year 1851 crossed the
the Andes from the Pacific, in
company with Lieutenant Ilerndon
and descended the AuoAxon Itiver
to the Atlantic. The very interesting
reports made by these officers
were published at the time,
and embodied valuable information
on the snbject of the production
of the Cinchona tree. From
later researches we learn that in
its native State tho tree it becoming
almost extinct. Hie nu?t valuable
variety (the Calisaya) has j
entirely run out and the others
will not long survive the reckless
waste of the native method of treatment.
Iu viow of the future need for
the now indispensible quinine of
commerce, an attempt which bids
fair to be successful lias been made
to transplant the tree to Indin,
where there are now over a million
plants. The bark is said to
be stronger than that of Ecuador,
yielding twice as much alkaloid,
or eleven per cent.
Mr. Gibbon believes that a like
success will attend the introduction
of the Cinchona into the United
States, lie says:
M The location of the mountain
ons part of Greenville county, with
regard to wind, formation ot land,
temperature?and perhaps soil?
is not unlike the Province of Yungas,
in Bolivia.
" I respectfully call attention to
the value of the eastern side of the
RlllA lti<tnrri mrwnnt.in? f/? I"
M*v??iivwniO IUI 1IIU in*
troduction and propagation of the
Cinchona tree. OneJiundrcd acres
of land would accommodate about
22,500 Cinchona treee. They can
be planted as near together as
peach trees.
"In connection with the desire
expressed by the Honorable Coin*
miasioner to Congress, to " establish
a Cinchona Plantation under
the care of this Department," and
if what I have said in favor of
these mountains as the proper location
within these United States,
should meet, approval?as an experimental
[Troof?so that the Cinchona
tree may be fairly transplanted
here, I would like to offer
for the acceptance of the Department
of Agriculture, oue hundred
acres of land situated near Table
Hock, at Marietta, free of charge."
We trust this liberal and well
timed offer of Mr. Gibbon may be
accepted, and the experiment fairly
tried. We have little doubt of
its success, and the benefit to tho
country would be simply incalculable.
Professor Orton, in his recent
work, the " Andes and the
Ainaron," states " that Dr.Taylor,
of Rio Bamba, found one tree
which gave $3,600 worth of qni
UIIIV*
Hie tree takes its name from tlio
Countess of Cinchon, who bad been
cured by it of an intermittent tever,
at Lima, about tba rear 1638.
It was introduced into Europe by
the Jesuits, about tlio middle of
the seventeenth century, and Madame
de Sevigne, in 1670, mentions
it in a way to show that it was
then in common use. It was not,
liowover, nntil 1820 that the
French chemists extracted from
the M Jesuit's Bark " the invaloa* I
ble quinine of the modern pharmacopoeia.
Probably no single drag
known at this day is so universally
recognised as a specific in the
j moat prevalent malady in our
i county; and it would be a leas to
1 the whole world should the supply
t of this great remedy be aMdwed

Winter is relaxing its grasp on

and higher above the southern
horison, is pouring down his beams
more vertically on the sleeping

and opening flowers show, is about
to awake from its wintry sleep and
clothe itself again in the beautiful
garments of spring. How touching
this annual resurrection of
plants?how stimulative of hopes
?how suggestive ot faith 1
Unconsciously wo catch its inspiration?past

Tlie freshly plowed, clean and
smooth surface of tbo earth de
lights h is eye. Even the poor,
worn old field, from which, perchance,
the last pound of phosphoric
acid or ammonia has been
extracted, still well moistened with
the rains of winter, looks rich and
fat, and tempts him with a promise
it can ne'er fulfil. Ah, these beautiful

Though never realized perhaps,
thev accomplish an important work I
in uuraan nie?ciicertug and sustaining

when percliAnce it passes under
the clouds of disappointment and
failure. We would, however, fill
out the picture, l?y placing beneath
the roseate skv, the solid earth,
with its ruggedf rocks?we would
caution our readers against too
sanguine expectations. Now that
the crop is to be u pitched," judge
soberly. How often does the farmer
make his calculations thus : so

have advanced in price, and finally,
an empty pocket and an unpaid
factor's bifl, stares him in the face.
We submit, is the picture overdrawn
or its occurrence rare?
Will oar readers therefore pardon
us if, in all earnestness, we ur^e
them not to venture all upon the
uncertainties of a cotton crop alone;
but to divide tho risks between
cotton, corn, oats, sugar cane, rye,

on the loaves; they aro circular,
abont nine inches in diameter,
rather flat, and indented?evidently

the sides, and are divided into
eight lines radiating from the centre
into eight segments. They are

The Girls of Japan at School.
Throughout Japan it is the uui*
vcrsal custom for young Indies,
when arrived at the age of four*
teen or fifteen, to bo placed in
what may be appropriately called
a finishing establishment. This

Among otber peculiarities, namely :
All the musters pay for tbe pt ivilege
of tecching instead of (as in
the case with us) being paid tor
their lessons. This makes the instruction
a labor of lore. Then
again, to a certain extent, a Japanese
voung lady is allowed considerable
freedom as to the selection
of her instructors; so she generally
prefers the best looking. A
lady principal 6f one of ciur finishing
establishments for yoong ladies
would bo not alittle surprised if she
could be suddenly transported to
Japan, there to study tbe peculiarities
of Japanese customs. She
would find herself not in a close,
pc:.t-up room, filled with girls bolt
upngiti, each perched upon an
educational stool, but in a delightful
garden, fragrant with tea and
flowers. She would see a number
of little suimner-houaoe, embowered
in the midst of these charming
| vegetable products, for which Japan
:8 so justly celel r??ted, brought
to perfection by the raoet exquisite
horticulture. She w o n 1 d see
bright ened damsels, with cheeks
pink as the roses, moving round
her with graceful steps, each bearing
a small lacquer tray with tea
ana cakes. She would see these
damsels, with joyous smile and
modest mien, wcuding each her
way to a Bummer house. In each
of these summer-house, she would

Thk Mormons.?A correspondent
of the New York World is out
in Utah showing up the iniquities
of the Saints. A precious lot of
beggars they are, to be sure. The
list of crimes which are common
among them is as shocking as disgusting.
The revelations of the
doings of the Saints are almost in*?

v.vu>uh). juun.er is one of their
fine arts, and the way in which
they dispose of obnoxious Gentiles
and apostates is as bloody as it is
summary. There can be but little
doubt that a state of affairs exists
in Utah which calls for active aiul
stringent legislation. The number
of Gentiles murdered by the Mormons
in one year is suflicient
cause to outlaw them all. So long
as their odious 44 religion" is winked
at by our Government, Mormonism
will remain a blot and a
blister upon the name of the country,
and these sanctimonious vagabonds
should be handled without
gloves.

Farmkks' Clubs.?Farmers*
clubs may be made eminently useful,
aud now is the time to organl
ize them in every neighborhood
where one docs not now exist.?
Their organization should be very
simple. Too much formality in
such societies detracts from their
value. Don't fetter yoursejves
with too many by laws and rules.
Get together to talk in a free, offhand
way about fanning. The
most important thing is to have a
good secretary, who can put into a
readable shape the most % aluable
I facts and experience drawn ont in

I benefit the community at large as
well as the members of the club.
Organize, then, study, think and
talk about farming, and above all,
practice the improved methods
learned at the club and in the
pages of yonr agricultural journals.?

a most remarkable saying for
an advocate of Women's rights.

Little things sometimes produce
great results. A drop of water a
fit tie frosted will explode the
mammoth rock in twain ; a little
match will fire a whole city, and a
little basjr body gossip of a woman,
with a little tongue and no brain,
will set a whole neighborhood by
I the ear*.
