THE CAMANCHE RAID,
BY MARY BAYARD CLARKE.
CHAPTER HI.
Hubert Elliott was the only son
of a Scotch physician, who lived teu
miles higher up the bay than George
Moretou did. He bad been edu-cated
by his father with great care,
until he was eighteen, and then
sent back to "the old country" to be
finished.
•'Ye'll no like living there, may-hap,"
his father had said to hi in ;
■■but ye'll be the better for biding a
couple o' years among tbe home
folk. A prairie-chicken won't thrive
on the hills, and ye'll come back
with some bad, but much good ; nee
that the bad is such as will tall 00,
and tbe good such as will stick, aud
I'll no fault ye for the sillier ye'll
spend."
He was right. Hubert did not
like life in Scotland, and gladly re-turned
to his prairie-home. But be
had often wished lor more congenial
companions than he had found
among tbe young people ol tbe
neighborhood, and it was with feel-ings
of unqualified pleasure that he
tecognized in Edward and Julia
persons of his own class. He and
fanny Ewiug were sworn frieuds
and opponents; they never met
without an encounter of wits; aud
the mistaken opinion of their friends
was that their playful quarrels
would end in earnest love.
He spent the whole of tbe day
atter tbe Pecan gathering, as Fanny-had
proposed be should, in assisting
at the moving. Julia had brought
ber father's library with her, and
this, with her piano, aud tbe por-traits
of both ber parents, and some
linen and silver, were the only ar-ticles
she had retained at tbe sale
of their bonsehold effects. These
were quite sufficient to give an air
of refinement to tbe plain, board
bouse, with its unplsstered walls,
and when, after a hard day's work,
tbe four gathered round the sapper-table,
Hubert Elliott thought that
life would go very pleasantly for
him, even with such a home, if be
could have such a woman as Julia
for his wife.
Love is a plant of rapid growth
in such natures as bis. When Julia,
in the little flutter of excitement,
consequent on acting the hostess
for the first time in ber new home,
offered him one of Charlotte's muf-fins,
and asked if his coffee suited
him, be was dreaming of the time
when lie should dare to offer ber bis
hand and heart, and ask her to be
his wile.
Edward, who took to bim as cor-dially
as though they had been old
acquaintances, now pressed him to
stay awhile with them ; and Hubert,
with secret joy, accepted the invita-tion.
Julia, tail of the novelty all
around her, was bnsy with her nafffe
menage, and thought of bim only as
a pleasant acquaintance. Days
passed. One thing and another de-layed
Hubert's return home. Now
be must stay aud help Edward
break iu a mnstaug pony for Julia ;
then there was to be a qniltiug-party,
at which Fanny was to re-deem
her promise of making the
pecan-candy; and before that was
over, Mr. Moretou had planned a
fishing excursion, and Hubert's
presence was needed at that. Every
one but Edward and Julia said be
was desperately in love, and good-natnredly
combined to keep him at
Lavacca.
At leugth, there was no longer a
plausible excuse for bis lingering
any more, and, exacting a promise
from Edward to visit him soon, he
departed, regretting more than ever
that there was DO lady presiding
over her father's household, because
time they rested on her, he luie1
and because hers gave no answeriug
glance, he believed that her heart
was insensible to his devotion, and
so be kept silent.
Matters were in this condition
wheu be rode down one fine May
morniug. to assist Mr. Moreton in a
cattle bunt. He found Edward aud
Julia, Mr. and Mrs. Moreton, aud
Fanny Ewiug, all at the end of the
wharf, watching a schooner which
was rapidly neariug port.
"Ah, Elliot, my boy, you are just
in time for tbe news," exclaimed
Edward as he shook hands with
bim.
"No cattle-hunting to day, uor to-morrow,
either," said Mr. Moreton,
pleasantly. "Moretou and Le Roy-have
a lot of goods aboard that
craft, and they will be busy for a
week. It's all tbe better, however,
for we'll have more of your company.
I shan't let you off from the hunt,
and it won't be worth while to gd
back and come agaiu."
Hubert was very lulling to re-main,
and, seating himself by Mrs.
Moreton, began to play with a little
girl she held on her lap. He had
taught her to reply to the question
of "Who loves Uei'tie V by holding
up her little mouth to be kissed.—
but tin! peiwise little monkey,
when ha took her up in his arms, on
this occasion, said, "I dou't want to
kiss you ; 1 loves Duoly, I does;
don't you love her too V
The color mounted to Hubert's
hair at the question, aud Mrs. More-ton's
significant anile j but, before
he could speak, Julia, who had that
momeut raised Edward's pockettel
eacope to ber eye, exclaimed,
"Look, Ned !—do look ! There is
ValcourDupteou the deck."
Her eyes were sparkling, and her
cheeks flushed—and Hubert felt his
heart die within bin.
The eyes ot all wete turned to the i
vessel, and no one noticed tbe!
deathly pallor
Hubert's face.
Edward, when he made the dis-covery.
"Moretou will tell her,
however, that we could not rel urn
with this wind, and she will proba-bly
send for Miss Fanny to keep
her company."
"I'll take the horse and ride op
in the morning" said Hubert. "If
I start before day, I will get there
to breakfast. I think, too, I had
better send horses down for you ;
for, thongh the rain won't last long,
it will be rather hard work getting
np against tbe wind, which will
probably blow steadily all day to-morrow."
With this understanding, after
a hearty sapper, tbey went to bed,
Dupre heartily glad to escape ap-pearing
before Julia "iu tbe charac-ter
of a half-drowned man," as be
laughingly said.
CHAPTER IV.
Edward bad exacted a promise
from Julia that she should never
sleep alone if he was absent at
night. When Mr. Moreton came to
tell her that Edward could hardly
return with such a norther blowing
before morning, she asked him, as
well as Fauny Ewiog, to stay with
her; for bis wife had taken her
three children tbe day before, and
goue to visit her father, who lived
about thirty miles up the bay ; and
Julia had not yet become accus-tomed
to tbe northers, and always
feared tbe house would blow away
when they were violent. Bat,
laughing at her fears, he declined,
and left about nine to return borne.
The girls now retired, Julia first
giving her usual charge to Charlotte
when a uortber was blowing, "to
look well after her fire, and see it
was out before she went to bed."
Severul times duriug tbe night she
started up, believing she beard ber
brother, and at leugth, finding that
she could not sleep, she dressed her-self
; and seeing by her watch that
that spread over'it was nearly an hour to daylight,
He knew instinct- ! she sat dowu to finish a new book
ively that the stranger was his rival,
but the very intensity of his despair
brought him courage to meet it;
the sound of the rope falling on the
wharf, as the schooner was made
Dupre had brought out to ber.
She was soon deeply absorbed iu
it; so deeply that the wick of her
candle grew long, and the light got
dim, iii-iore she thought ot snuffing
fast, fell on his ear like the rattle of it. As she paused to do so, she
the earth on the coffin ■lid that 1ml
Julia forever from bis sight; anil as
he marked the watmtb of the recep
tion she gave to Dnpre, and saw the
graceful ease with which her wel-come
was returned, lie resolved
that none should ever know what be
suflered.
Julia was indeed glad to see Val-cour
Dupre. She had always liked
him, aud his preseuce now was
gratifying to her vanity; for she
was but a woman, and not above
feeling flattered at his following ber
to Lavacca. Vet she felt that if be
had really loved her, he would never
have allowed her to leave Sew Or-leans
Hence, though she received
him cordially, it was as an old ac
quaintance. This very frankness
and hear litiiss, which sent such a
paug of jealousy through Hubert
Elliott's heart, was a disappoint
meiit to the man of the world, who
would have preferred seeing her
more timid, aud less demonstrative.
Dupre had found, when it was too
late, that he loved Julia. Never
hail society seemed so flat and dull
as the winter after she left New
Orleans. By tbe time spring opened,
he had made np his tniud to follow
her to Texas, and win her back to
himself and civilization. He be
lieved, even yet, it would be an easy-task
to do so. He counted much
on her desire to escape from a Iron
tier life. He loved her as a beauti-ful,
piquant, and elegant woman,
whom lie would be proud to intro-duce
as his wife ; and that was all-sufficient
for him ; her love, he lie
lieved, would come alter marriage ;
and though he would have preferred
something snore than bis friendly
welcome, he was not despondent,
and so returned her greeting with
the eager emprtvrmenf of a lover.
For several days Dupre remained
at Lavacca. He gave himself freely
up to the enjoyment of the novel
life of a Texan, aud rode, hunted
and fished with Edward ami Hubert
just enough to give him an appetite
for the good things which Charlotte
delighted iu preparing for the table.
In this old servant be had a true
friend. She had openly expressed
her desire that "mars Ned aud Miss
Julia would quit a country whar
there wan't but oue store, and no
nieetiu'-hoose to go to ot Sundays."
During all this time Hubert suf
fered pains indescribable.
The third day after the arrival
of Valcour, the schooner dropped
down to the mouth of the Matagorda
Bay to take ill a lot of hides de
posited there; and Edward, having
occasion to go to her the next day.
proposed to Va'cour and Hubert to
accompany him in a little sail boat,
and spend' tbe morning in fishing.
They were to return by the middle
of the afternoon, and Julia promised
them an early tea.
Tbey accordingly left the house
about ten o'clock in the morning.
Hubert felt an unaccountable de
pression of spirits, which he con
cealed, but could not overcome.—
The day passed off pleasantly
enough, however, and they had
started for home, and were about a
mile from the schooner, when a
sudden squall capsized the little
cockle-shell in which they were. A
boat was dispatched from the
Bchooner to their assistance, and the
raised her eyes to the window and
saw, pressed close agamt the glass,
the face of an Indian. The horror
in her countenance mast have
shown him that he was discovered,
for before she conk! even draw a
breath the reburst on her ears tbe
most awful sound that she had ever
heard, or even conceived of; a sou nil
which, once listened to, can never
be forgotten — the terrible war-wboop.
Her first thought was to reach
Fanny. She sprang up, and, in her
agitaiiou, knocked over tbe candle-stick,
extinguishing the candle. It
was well she did, lor otherwise she
would probably have been instantly
killed by the shower of balls that
dashed through the window, crush-ing
it. in like paper.
"The wharf! the wharf!" exclaim-ed
Fanny. "Get into the boat and
push oft out ot their reach."
Rushing out the back door, they
met Charlotte coming from ber
kitcheu. Tbe three now crossed the
garden, leaped the fence, at the back
of it, aud in a minute more would
have reached a little boat that was
always kept hid at Julia's bath-house,
wheu snddeuly an arrow
whizzed past them, and told them
that they were discovered. Fanny's
white night-dress had revealed
them. A second shaft better aimed,
buried itself in Fanny's shoulder.
At the same moment a third struck
her hip, and she sauk to the ground.
-Hun, Julia, run ! I cannot walkfc
hut you can get to the boat I" she
gas[>ed.
Julia's ouly reply was a stern or-der
to Charlotte to take up Fanny's
feet, and placing ber own hands
under the wounded girl's arm's,
they half carried and half dragged
her along until tbey reached the
bead of the wharf. But here Julia's
strength gave out, and at tbe same
instant a huge Indian came up and
seized Julia as though she had been
a child of five years old, and carried
her off, struggling hopelessly, to a
clump of pecan-trees.
The savage now gave a quick
whistle which was answered by an-other.
A moment after, Julia found
herself transferred to the keepng
of a woman, while her captor glided
swiftly back to assist in the plunder
of the' warehouse
In a little while it was not only
sacked, but in flames. Julia, as she
sat closely guarded, could hear the
savage shouts as house after house
in the little settlement was fired.
Shuddering with horror, she covered
her face, at first, with her bands ;
then remembering Fanny and Char-lotte,
sin looked toward the whaif.
for the burning houses made the
sky as bright as noonday : but not
a vestige of either could be seen.
Tbe bath-house stood untouched,
however, and a faint hope began to
dawn in her heart that Charlotte
might have been able to drag Fanny
to it and escape in the boat; but it
was quenched as soon as it rose, for
a party of savages at that moment
rushed down the wharf, and she
saw tbe boat glide from the honse
and only one person iu it and that
was a man.
By sunrise tbe Indians bad gath-ered
all theplnnder they ooald carry,
and were ready for tbeir march.
Julia at first bad nattered herself
with the hope that if tbey lingered I
into the day she might be rescued
Ml as she noticed their numbers I
now that they were collected to-1
get ber, she realized that uo force I
large enough to oppose them coold
ba immediately collected. Wheu i
she thought ofher brother.ofHubert, I
and of Valconr, and that tbey might
return and fall victim* to the fary
of her captors, she prayed that tbe
savages might start at once.
When she recovered, she foand
herself lying ou a blanket, while
the Indian woman stood beside her,
bathing her face with water. The
man who bad captured her, mean-time,
held a horse by tbe bridle,
and he now made signs to her that
she must mount. Weak and trem-bling,
she shook her head, and
pointing to his knife, which bang
from his belt, made a sign to kill
her at once. His only reply was to
pick her up and place her on the
horse, which proved to be her own

one arm in the saddle, he motioned
to a boy who stood beside him to
take the reins and lead the horse.
The boy obeyed; and the little
party, making a detour round tbe
settlement, joined tbe main body of
the Indians, half a mile beyond it,
and began a rapid march north-wardly.

Gen, N. B. Forrest
Tbe famous Confederate Raider
is cultivating the arts of peace on a
40 acre farm, that cost him #400 per
acre, near Memphis, Tenti. He has
turned his sword into a pruning
book, made a plow-horse of his bat-tle
charger, aud now devotes bis
genius to "forming squares" of tur-nips
and beans, planting batteries
of uoboru (not guns) potatoes, and
establishing skirmish lines of cym-blius
and cucumbers. He is also,
we presume, au "unconditional On-ion
ist," and grealy in favor of'peas,'
though he per lets them without
"shells." The ouly war like deed
of which he can be accused is a ma
oia for slashing off the heads of cab-bages,
and sometimes "putting oat"
the eyes of certain Irish potatoes;
with perhaps an occasional effort to
train the young orcbard-"Buila''how
to shoot. And to confess the truth
(though we trust that the fact will
not be made a subject for investi-gation
by a Congressional commit-tee)
he is known to be rather fond
ol "handling grape" (liquidized)and
destroying Yaukee "champaigns."
However, that is the natural
"trait" of goodfeeling, and is apple-icable
to tbe Generality of retired
warriors.
We rejoice to '.earn that General
F. is making his "Forest bloom like
the rose," is distinguishing himself
no less in the arts of Peace than as
formerly iu war.
By the way, there is a rediculous
story circulated by the Radical press
to the effect that Gen. F. was being
shaved by a darkey iu a New York
city barbershop, when the negro
discovering the personality of his
customer, began to talk so signifi-cantly
of brother slain at Foit Pil-low,
that tbe General fled from the
•hop, with oue half his face tin
shaved.
The editor of Aberdeen (Miss.)
Examiner, asked Forrest if there
was any foundation in fact for the
story. ' He replied that there was
this much; He went into a barber-shop
and was waited on by a young
Dutchman, (not a negro) who show-ed
considerable agitation on learn-ing
that his customer was "Gener-al
Forrist." He asked: "Is that
your namef" "Yes." "The Rebel
Geueral Forrest 1* asked the now
much excited German. "Yes," was
answered again, but in a sharp,
decided tone, which showed rising
anger. "The Fort Pillow General
Forest," queried again the nervous
Tanton, and tbe General now losing
all patience with the excited fel-low,
answered, "Yes, d—n you,
Fort Pillows Forrest:" whereupon
tbe poor fellow burst into tears, and
exclaimed, "Den mine Got, you
killed mine brudder I" The General
then requested another barber to
complete tbe shave, as tue Dutch-man
was too much excited tor work.

President Grant Performs
His .Duties
[From tbe Capital.)
We questioned a gentleman who
isou familiar terms with Geu. Grant}
as to how this intellectual person
age managed to put in his time
Onr friend replied slowly, as it try
ing to remember between sentences :
"Well, ho rises about 9 ami
smokes. Then he breakfasts and
•mokes. After, his secretary opens
his mail, aud the President smokes
" Does he ever read the papers J"
"Ob, no; bis secretary reads
tAem, when he sees a passage or
paragraph like|y at iuteiest the
Presideut, be marks it. Tbe flies
thus marked the President some
times looks into, bnt he seldom gets
beyond one, aud this he does not
keep long unless it bapiiens to be a
spotting journal Alter this iutel
lectual effort he has visitors."
" And the President listens and
■mokes 1"
" He smokes, certainly ; but there
is a popular delusiou aueut that sil-ence.
Among his intimate friends
and family he talks incessantly—
that is, if tbe subject is not politics I.
When politics are touched he sud-denly
grows reserved and sinks iu-to
silence."
"And afterr
" Well, then comes an early diu-ner
and more smoking. After din-ner
there is a drive of two and some-times
three hours. Then tea and
smoke. After tea more company
and more cigars. Sometimes he in-dulges
in a walk, and then be is ac
companied by a friend aud a cigar.
After, a night cap and bed."
" Why, does he give no time to
the affairs of the Government V
" My dear friend, he gives all bis
time here, as in Washington, to
Government matters. This is doue
by talking. Our Government is
carried on through talk, in a social,
pleasant way. Every man, and
sometimes the woman has au office
to be got, either tor himself or friend.
That is government business, and
be or she talks it at the President.
Or there is a contract in question.
This is Government business of
coarse."
" And so we pay a hundred thou-sand
dollars a year, directly aud in-directly,
tu have a man talk politics.
However, that, is a very inoffen-sive
sort of a way to pat in the time.
How are his habits t"
"Not so good as his occupation.
They talk abont a third term. The
way His Excellency is drinking and
smokiug it is uot likely that he will
live out the second term. If he
does he possesses a constitution far
stronger than that of the United
8tatcs."
" Is It not perfectly amazing that
such a mass of stolid ignorance and
ill-breeding should be tolerated by
a people supposed to be civilized f"
"It would not be, perhaps, if the
journals so prompt to expose the
short comings of subordinates, such
as Senators and Secretaries, were
to comment upon aud criticise those
of the President.
" That is true," we said. "No
man ever held office in this country
who has been so tenderly treatetl as
this mau with his brood of brutal
relatives. We have a very high
opinion of the people; but if they
knew%what the citizens of Washing
ton generally know Grant would be
hooted out of the White House.
Polygamy in Utah.—Application
has been made by Anu Eliza Yonng
to the Third District Court of Utah i
for a divorrce from Brigham YoflTig. '■
Tbe applicant is the nineteenth'
wife of the Mormon chief. The de-'
fence is a denial of the marriage in
a legal sense, and a claim that the
relation sustained by all the defend-ant's
wives except the first, is by
operation of what|is termed a 'plural
or celestial man iage' performed iu
accordance with the doctrines or
belief of the Later Day Saints. De-fendant
admits he has but one law-ful
wife, namely, the first. He
acknowledges having an income of
96,000 per moutb, bnt says he has
sixty-three persons to support.

Rochester time, which is the best

A Romance in High Life—At the
gaming table the Duke, of Richmond
incured a debt of honor lo Lord
Cadogan, which be was uuable to
pay, and it was agreed that his son,
a lad of fifteen, who bore the title
of Earl of March, should marry the

The boy was sent for from

and the children were told that they
were to be married upon the spot.
The girl had nothing to say ; tbe
boy cried out, "They surely are not
going to marry me to that dowdy !"
But married they were. A post
chaise was at tbe door; the bride-groom
was packed off with bis tutor
to make the grand tour, and the
bride was sent back to her mother.
Lord March remained abroad for
several years, after which he returu
ed to London, a well-educated, hand-some
young mau, but iu uo haste
to meet his wife, whom be had
never seeu except upon the occasion
ot their hasty marriage. So he tar
ried in London to amuse himself.
One night at the opera his atten-tion
was attracted to a beautiful
young lady in the boxes. "Who is

him. "You must be a stran-ger
in London," was the reply,
"not to kuow the toast of the town,

Earl went strait to the box, an
nonnced himself, and claimed his
bride. The two fell in love with
each other on tbe spot, aud lived

Street Lights and Stars.
" I wish I were a star," said Meg,
oua summer uight, to Hal, as they
stood iu the open doorway.
" I'd rather be a street light a
great deal," answered Hal. " Only
see how much more light it gives."
" Why, Harry, what a boy you
are. Think of all that iny star rau
see. Such a beautiful view as it
has—the other stars aud the whole
of our big world,—while your street
light can only look at two rows of
houses, aud this dusty or muddy
street."
" Yes, it must be great luu, Meg,
lor your star to gaze and stare all
the time at tbe blue sky and yellow
specks—for even the whole of onr
big world looks like a prick ot light
to it,' aud Harry bent his eye U|M>II
beautiful Veuns, which beau-ed
down ou him. "Now, my Street
lamp sees a great deal First,
every uight it tan watch the papas
come home, and tbe btryj and girls
run to meet them. Then, it sees
the jolly boys who can goto con-certs
(I wish I were one of fhem)
and the night runaway, Meg : and
it helps the policemen lo rnteh
burglars, aud does, oh, so much
good, ludeed, I would like lo be a
street light," and Hal paused, quite
out of breath.
Meg shook out her euils with a
contempt as she replied, " It is very
silly for such a big boy and girl to
talk so; I, almost in my teens, too!
Of course you cannot be a street
light, nor 1 a star."
" 1 am not so snre of thai,'' said a
voice behind them, and turning,
they saw that papa, mamma aud
baby Jennie were listening to them
iu the hall.
" Why, papa," said Meg, " what
do you mean f" and " Why, papa T"
exclaimed Bat,
But papa smiled confidently as
ho replied, " Harry, at least, may
have his wish if he chooses. Shall
I tell you how I When he sees old
Mr. James try with his trembling
lingers to opeti the large iron gate,
Hal may run and help him; and
wheu he brings home from the
woods fresh mosses aud suni
flowers, he need not give them all
to mamma and Meg, but may take
some of them to [>oor sick Miss
Williams, who lived in the country
once; and wheu mamma says,
' Come in now, Harry,' master Hal
can jump up quick ami leave his
marbles. Then little Abe Wright
will be more likely lo obey his
mother when she calls, because ho
thinks Harry very old aud very
good: ami Hairy can help lame
Willie and not teazc old Mrs. Pe-ters'
funny dog; and so shine all
the time, shining so much bright-ness
into peoples' hearts, that he'll
lie a real street light to all the neigh
bora."
" Why, yes, 1 can be the day
lamp lot our street ; can't 1 /'' said
Hal.
" Bnt tbe stars, papa, you bavo
not told me bow 1 can bo a star,"
said Meg.
Baby Jetiuie's soft voice began—
"Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How 1 a-oiiocl's v.h:it }ou ;ir«-."
Aud mamma spoketheii: " When
you were a very little gul, Meg,
smaller than Jennie even, you wen-sitting
in my lap one summer even
ing wheu you asked a question I
have never forgotten : ' Is the stars
angels, mamma, 'way, 'way off!'
you said. I smiled when I told
papa the fancy, but be answered
me, ' Does not the Bible say, wo
1 shall shine as the stars for ever
aud ever.'"
-Meg nestled close to mamma's
side as she whispered, " We Ma all
be stars then, some day, can't wo t"
And mamma as she looked at the
bright young lace, said, '- I pi ay
God we all will In-, my dear."
The c'*ri«(in« Aatwocafe, in an
article entitled " The Mutilation of
Character,'' says :
" We insist u|*on the reign of a
broader charity in the judgment of
others. No one should take up aud
repeat a slander. So long as it re-mains
a slander it ought to lie as a
loathsome thing, which we dare not
touch. When it bei-omes so eleai
that it Ban be called truth, the leas
we have to do with it then llie bet-ter
for us. Our own nature is cor-rupted
by rumination u poo the
dowufall of oilier.-. In the home,
iu public, every nhere, theie should
be the charitable word. When that
cannot be said, let tLete be sileuce.'
