Jos Loostoj* was a powerful fellow, of i
is foot three in his stockings, and propor- i
tionately stout and muscular. Fear was a t
word he knew not the meaning of, and to i
fight was his pastime, particularly if his 1
, scalp was the prize he fought for. On one
occasion he was mounted on his pony, which I
was leisurely picking his way along the trail, i
with hi* head down half asleep, while his 1
rider was enjoying a feast of some wild i
grapes which he bad picked as he came I
along?not dreaming of any danger until i
he heard the crack of two rifiee on either
aide of the path. One ball struck Logston, i
grazing the akin above the breast bone, but t
without doing any material damage. The i
other passed through bis horse, just behind j
the saddle, killing him ; in an instant of ,
time Logston found himself on his feet. *

earnestly around, and discovered the otb<

stood for a moment, for the Hood whs flowing
freely from the wound in Logston's
breast, aud the Indian supposing hltn more
seriously wounded thnn he really was, and
thinking to take advantage of his weakness,
closed with him, intending to throw him;
in this, however, ho reckoned without his
host, for he found himself at full length on
his back, with Logs ton on top. Springing
from under hiin. they were both on their
feet again?and again closed. This time
the savage was more wary, but the same re
suit followed, and he was again beneath his
opponent, but having the advantage of
being naked to the breech clout and oiled
from head to foot, he could slip out from
under the hunter and resume an erect position.
Six diflereut times was ho thrown
with the name success ; but neither seemed
to have ihe advantage. By this time they
bad, in their struggles and contortions, returned
to the open path, and Logston con:luded
to change his tactics. Tie was hc:omin?

while on the other hand the savage seemed
to loose none of his strength from the many
falls he had. Closing again in a close hug,
they fell as before, but this time, instead of
endeavoring to keep his antagonist down, ho
iprnng at once to his feet again, and as the
Indian came up lie doalt hitn a blow between
the eyes whtce felled hiin like an ox, at the
mine falling with all his might upon the
body, he grasped him by the throat with a
grip like a vice intending to strangle him.
fie found, however, that the savage was trying
to disengage his knife which was in his
belt. But he was too quick for him, for
eizing it, with a powerful blow drove it iuto
the hilt in the Indian's heart.
Spring to his feet, Logston now bethought
him of the other red skin, and looked
around to discover hitn. He still lay
whith his back brokon by the ball, where
he had fallen ; and having his pieco loaded,
he was trying to raise himself up to fire it.
Concluding that he had enough of fighting
for exercise, and knowing that the savage
could not tnako his escape, the hunter took
his way to the fort.
lie presented truly an awful sight when
he reached there?his clothes beiug torn
nearly off from his person, and covered w ith
blood and dirt from his hewd to his feet. A
party started for the battle ground, where
ihey discovered the body of the big Indian,
and the orps of the second, with his own
knife thrust into his heart, and his hand still
grasping it to show that he came to Jii?

Stqih in the
Th* Sunday 7\mes nays: Those who
have read of tbo wild wastes which California
or Utah emigrants are obliged to pass,
in order to reach their destination, will re:ognize
the scene of the Following aftecting
incident, which we copy from Mi*. Ward's
* Female Life among the Mormons : M
M lu a few days we entered a sandy and
barren region, where, to our other ills and
inconveniences, that most intolerable of all,
the want of water was added. The streams
were all dried up?the rivers disappeared
from their channels?there was neither rain
nor dew.
But, though the air seemed intensely hot
ind the sky exhibited aot a trace of clouds,
there was a softness in the atmosphere at
night, a resplendent glory in the stars, altogether
incomprehensible and most delightful.
And this region, otherwise so sterile, was filled
with flowers of richest perfume and the
brightest colors. In inany places, where it
would seem from the gravelly, sar.dy nature
nf the soil, that no plant whatever, could
take root, cactuases, literally covered with a
profusion of large critnson flowers, thrived
luxuriantly, thus presenting a remarkable
contrast to the surrounding desolation. For
?ne of the remarkable characteristics of this
place was tho utter absence of animal life.
Not a bird visited these resplendent blossoms

Neither hares nor pheasants lurked
beneath their coverts. Even the Indians
seemed to avoid the country. Once, and
>nce only, we caught the glimpse of a troop
af wild horses, skirling the horizon. It was
>nly a glimpse, and yet 1 shall ever reinem
t>er the graceful agility of their motions, and
ibe sleek sparkle of their glossy sides. But
^der b!?*hts than these awaited us. I had
lescendeo ^ wagon to walk, in order
hat I might ezamin* be.fiUfu| flowers.
[ was particularly charmed by I*? or three
luge plants of the cactus species, which
isd grown so close together that they appeared
compact. They were at least ninety
Feet in circumference, and large scarlet bloslome
depended from the branches. But
while stooping to gather a bonnet my linger*
inadvertently touched a relic, ilia sight
which filled me with horror. It wae a
human skeleton ; but the shin, instead of
Tailing away, still eldltg to the bones, showing
the veins, ths muscles and sinews, in a
boirible stale of preservation, yet with *
strict fidelity to nature. The long lank bony
fingers yet Mid a paper clutched tightly between
them. OnHosHy wae stronger than

"We go no farther. My wife end five
children?nil dying for want of water; 0
God I this death is horrible I"
The poor fellow had evidently sought the
shelter of the cactus to shield himself from
the burning sun, and there died from burning,
intolerable thirst. But the wife and
children?-where were they f A little further
on, in the state of horrible attenuation
without decay, the mother yet clasped her
infant in her bony arms, and the thin, tightly
drawn lips of the infant were pressed to
her cadaverous breast. Two of the children
?a boy and a girl?had their fingers interlaced
; while the other two were twined in
each other's arms, as if they sought to solace
the agonies of that horrible death bv the
sweets of congenial affection. And who
shall say that they were not happier, dying
thus, than multitudes have been who de-;
parted this life, surrounded by all the comforti
of wealth and luxury, but with hatred
gnawing, 1'romctheus-liko, their hearts f
i'u> uiu ucoi. ui us were id no condition to
speculate or philosophize. Thirst, intolora
ble thirst, was burning our tongues and i
scorching our braius. Our poor animals
sufferod as much, or even more than ourselves
; and I half forgot my own miseries in
witnessing theirs.

The bottomless pit in the Mammoth Cave
of Kentucky is suspected by many to run
through the whole diameter of the earth.
The branch terminates in it,and the explorer
suddenly finds himself brought ut>on its
brink, standing upon a projecting platform,
surrounded on three sides by darkness and
torror, a gulf on the right and a gulf on the
left, and before him what seems an interminable
void. He looks aloft; but no eye has
yet reached the top of the great overarching
dome ; nothing is there seen but the dashing
of the water dropping from above, smiling
as it shoots by in the ir.wonted gleam
of the lamp, ne looks below, and nothing
there meets his glance save darkness as thick
as lampblack, but he hears a wild, mournful
melody of water, and the wailing of the
brook for the green and the sunny channel
left in the upper world never more to bo revisited.
Down goes a rock, tumbled over
the cliff by the guide, who is of the opinion
that folks come here to see and hear, not to
uiuse and be melancholy* There it goes?
crash! it lias reached the bottom. No?
hark, it strikes again; once more and again,
still falling. Will it never stop ? One's
hair begins to bristle as lie hears the sound
repeated, growing less and less until the ear
can follow it no longer. Certainly if the pit
of Frederick shall bo eleven thousand feet
deen. the bottomless nit of tl?/? \f
Cave must be its equal.

It it well known as a matter of history,
that when Greenland was discovered it poa
sesscd a much warmer climate than it does
at present. The ice packs have been extending
South from tho polar regions foi
some centuries, and the Northeast coasts of
our continent are now much colder than
they were three centuries ago. The cause
of this is not well understood ; the fact only
is known. It is believed by some persons
that there is a great eddy in some part of the
polar ocean which sometimes changes its
direction, and drifting large icebergs from
one place to another, changes the climate of
those places whence they are drifted, by the
presence of such masses of ice diffusing their
temperature to great distances.
In the month of July last, the White Sea
was blocked up with huge mountains of ice,
and the oommerce of Archangel stopped ?
something which never happened before.
In the Faroe Islands snow fell in the valleys
in the middle of July, the like of which also
never happened before. If this drift of
ice continues regularly for a few seasons, the
coasts of the Wnite Bea will become as inhospital
as those of Greenland now are.

Tn* Vision or a Mombnt.?Could the !
life scenes that take place upon this world,
nor.h and south, east and west, in one mo- 1
ment of time, be pictured in a space small .
enough to enable tho human eye to comprehend
them at a single glance, what a '
mighty shock would the miud of the gazer !
teceive.
Even as we write, while the pen is round
ing the letters, tho angels of joy and grief '
have visited many a fire side?cloud or sun- j
shine have darkened or illumined many a .
home. The breath of the new-born infant
has kissed the cheek of its mother, with a
perfume sweeter than that of tie violet ou j
the gale?the last groan of the weary pil- j
grirn of life has fallen upon the hearts of
weeping friends with a weight unutterable. '
The bride has stood beside the altar in her
pale purity, heedless of a dull sound that at |
the same moment arose from the yard beside
the church. There wero two voices !
then, the one the binding of two hearts, the
other " earth to earth and dust to dust.''
All tiic Sams.?A gentleman, in a
Scotch town, lately told his servant to clean

ceived a gill or two. His master, after (
watching for sometime, was surprised that ,
" Arcbio " never dipped the cloth in the vessel
containing the whiskey. He went forward
and found it empty. Accosting the
delinquent sharply as to what had become
of the spirits, the following reply was made :
"Ye see, yer honor, I drank it, but (suiting
the action to the word) I blow my breath on
the glass, an' it's a' the same 1"
Im reply to the question," What is a kiss?"
somebody replies: " A kiss is, as it were, a
seal, expressing our sincere attachment?a
pledge of future union?a present which, at

the impression of an ivory coral press? (
crimson balsatn for a love-wounded heart?
a sweet bite of the lip?an affectionate i
pinching of the heart?a delicious dish

"The most accommodating proof-reader we <

Rkckntlt, a Wall-street broker of consid- 8'
irnble wealth, and who lives in great style o
n thy west end of Gotham, purchased a fire- d
>roof safe in which to secure his valuables I
igainst the fiery element*, to which lie affix. <]
d one of those beautiful pieces of median* t,
sm, a combination lock. They are so fj
trangely complicated that you may lock 8
hem, hand the ,key to the manufacturer,
:vcn, and the chances are once to ten thousind
that he will not be ablo to open them.
Hie wards and interior arrangements of
heso locks are nlnhnhotioallv ??../t

'ou select a word in the language, tnke the
otters nml lock the words answering to these
etters, one by one. Thus the word "chair" w
?you lock C, then II, then A, then I, It. ?
N'ow, it must be unlocked in the same way, w
tnd unless you hit upon the same word you n
vill never be nble to unlock it. Well, the
jroker in question locked his new safe to
he word " boots," but after trying for an
lour or more tbo next morning, he could
lot unlock it, and gave it up in dispair. c
And his funds were all locked up, and he
bad no monjy to carry on his business that #
day, but as bis credit was good, he raised
jufficient for the purpose by banks. The
next day the manufacturer of the lock, nc- <J
sordiog to request, called to ascertain the h
Jifficulty. lie said ho bad no doubt he f|
:ould unlock the safe, if the gentleman would *
:cll him the word to which he locked it. "
Boots" was the word, and to work he act h
.0 unlock it to " boots." Well, he tried, t
ianguino of success, tried again and again,
jut was no more successful. He tried an *
hour, two hours, three hours, with no sue r
:ess. Finally a thought struck him. He
wiped the perspiration from his face, took a
drink of water, examined the key again, and i
looked at the broker straight in the eye and r
said: f,
" Sir, allow roe to ask you how you spell 1
boots." i
" How do I spell Loots !" said the other; c
" why I spell it right?how doyou spell it t" ?
" Oh, never minu," said the man of com- ?
bination lock, " how I spell it." <
"Well then," said the broker, " b u-t s,
to be sure."
" The deuce you do," said the lockman, |
" and if you spell boots, b-u-t-s, I will unlock t
the safe buts," and be did unlock it in the ,
twinkling of an eye. ,
