The effect of this is to bring the college into ridicule, and deserv edly so. Ittoot only lowers it itr the respect which the public may have previously entertained for it, but it makes its degrees worthless for all time to come. These degrees, as the cor- respondent quoted above, says, Wgn talent or service.

M. An Indian Romance. Reno an Indian Princess Broken Heart. Died of a "Yellowstone Correspondence of the Phila delphia Times. i During the latter year of the war a part of Spotted Tail's family was at Fort Laramie, and with them was his favorite i daughter, a young girl of eighteen. The fort was then garrison ed by companies of an Uhio volunteer cavalrv regiment, and among the omcers was a handsome young lieu- tenant of pleasant manners. Spottea Tail's ' daughter fell violently in love with' thiai young man. Her passion does not seem to have been recipro ated.and it is said he did all he could o convince , ner ne couianoi marry errand therefore it would be wrong or 1 him t rvisit . her or receive visits from her.

They were told to divert1 her in every way, and, if possi ble, endeavor: to make her forget her foolish passion., She went away meek ly enough, but fell into a deep melan- jcnoiy, from wnicn no enorc oi irienas could rouse her.

Tilden. f Ex-Governor Tilden, of, New York, in an interview with a World reporter said - that - his trip has no- connection w hatever J with.any business enterprise or railroad, scheme, as has been an- nounced without authority in some of the papers. ,: As to the events which have happened since the presidential election j . and the numerous. . wild rumors circulated in reference ! to his political intentions Mr. Tilden talked y e freely. In regard to th e electoral commission ? he said that he never had, any real confidence in the,arbitration i, a question where there; was so much t stake by , a body, of that, kind. iThat ettlement, he said, involved not only the presidency but all the , patronage and power; of the federal - administra tion, v together, with all ther schemes, plans and jobs connected -with it. j The republican f . party and the men -j who J e bU - 'tya: hamnagel,itln i aoxiouaj to . retain i to yieldlahy: point: the , past were too , the administration anv Doirit ..in an arbitration. The result of the elecipral commission, therefore,' was what " might have been expected considering r the power and influence brought to bear f upon the political majority of that body as finally constituted. He furthermore never liked the scheme as a- matter of principle. ' be lieving "that the -true direction of a democratic appeal was not , away from 369 representatives of the people to- waras niieen inaiviauais, ana stiu. iess from - fifteen individuals towards one to be selected necessarily," with a large element . of chance, not to say of trick and device .He thought there should rather have been an appeal from the 369 representatives to the 8,000,000 of voters through a new election. He was distrustful of the secrecy, celerity and improviaence witn wnicn, ine arrange ment was carried through and ushered into being. But V the proposition ap pealed to the opes of the busi ness classes, which were anxious above all things for a settlement of almost any kind at almost any price, and as it" was presented by the unanimous report of the joint committee it be came the representative, and the only representative of the public desire for peace. The events which are now attracting so much public attention in H ew Orleans and the disclosures which, perhaps, may follow, Mr.-Tilden seem ed to consider only as the logical out come of the revolutionary acts .of last fall and winter. "In a government like ours," he said, "such fraudulent S radices as were reported from New rleans last November sooner or later must come to the light, and the guilty parties with their practices must be made known. It was so with the ring frauds in New' York: it has been the case to a certain extent in Washington, and a like result will follow. in New Orleans. It is against the natural course of events that deeds of this kind should ultimately fail of being brought to light in all their enormities." All this was said with philosophical calmness and without any heat whatever In regard to his own 'political future Mr. Tilden had nothing to say except that he cou d not see any possible con tingency which could induce him to be a candidate for or to seek an elec tion to a seat in the United States Sen ate. He felt entirely confident of the success of the democratic party this fall in all the large central States, and especially in New York, by a very large majority, believing that events were ail pointing in that direction. To the charge that he has been seeking to control the nominations of the next democratic State convention of New York he gave a direct denial, and add- ed that he thought it unwise to in terlere in any way as between the nu merous friends who are seeking posi- tion on the state ticket. Stonewall Jackson slept a great deal, though 'the men of his command be lieved that he never took repose Whenever he had nothing else to do he slept, especially in church. He could sleep anywhere and in any posi tion, on a chair, under fire or on horse back. During a night march towards Richmond, after the battles with McClellan. writes Col. Kyd Douglas. in the Pennsylvania Times, "he was riding along with his drowsy staff. nodding and sleeping as he went. We passed by groups of men sitting along the roadside, and engaged in roasting new corn by fares made of fence raii8, , One group took us for cavalry- one oi tne party, ueugnsea at tne signi, of a man who had found whiskey enough to be drunk, rprang up from the fire and, brandishing a roasting ear in his hand, leaped down into the road and seizing the fcteneral s horse, cried out, -I say, old fellow, where the devil did you get your liquor?' In an instant, as the General awoke, the fellow saw his mistake, and then bounding from the road he took the fence at a single leap, exclaiming, Good God, it's old Jack peared in the darkness." and disap Tnmno T. flrmrunvs Tha nniiino boro New .
