" A s I said." she continued, " you are required to pick the
lock of a vault, aod rescue from death a man who has been
confined there for three days."
• ' T o whom does the vault belong ?" I inquired.
" My husband." was the somewhat reluctant reply.
" T h e n why so much secresy, or rather, bow came a man

" I secreted him there to escape the observation of my husbaod. H e suspected as much, ami closed the door upon bim.

" Come io," said I resolutely throwing tbe door ajar, and proceeding to light a candle.
Having succeeded. 1 turned to examine tho visitor. H e was a small aod neatly dressed gentlemao, with a heavy Raglan arouad bis shoulders, and a blue navy
cap drawn suspicioisly over his eyes. As-I advanced toward
him he seemed to hesitate a moment, then raised the cap from
his forehead aod looked me curiously io the face. I did not

hurriedly placed tbe light on tbe table, and silently procpeded
to invest myself with two , or three very necessary articles of
clothing. A s the Lord livetb, ray visitor was a lady, and the
same for whom I had opened the little box about a month before 1 Having completed my basty toilette, I attempted to stammer an apology for my rudeness, but utterly failed. T h o fact

" By doing half an hour's work before daylight to-morrow,
and receiving five hundred dollars for your labor," was the
reply.
" I t is not ordinary work)" said I inquiringly, " that commands so magnificent a sum."
" I t is a labor common to your calling." said the lady. " The
price is not so much for the labor, as tbe condition under which
it must be performed."
1
" A n d what is the cooditioo." I inqoired.
" T h a t yon will submit to being conveyed from and returned
to your door blindfolded."
Ideas of murder, burglary, aod almost every other crime or
7illiany hurriedly presented themselves in succession, as I politely bowed and s a i d : •
" I must koow something more of the character of tbe employment as well as tbe conditions, to acccpt yonr offer."

Concerning tbe origin of our Western prairies little can be
said, and nothing is positively known. Rcmaios of forest vegetation are rarely found beneath the surface, but it does not follow that these plains are en exception to the seemingly universal rule, that nature, at some period in her crycles, clothcs with
forest verdure all suitable surfaces whether of rock or csrth.—
It seems impossible to account for the great depth of vegetable
mold upon the prairies, excepting npon the hypothesis that
dense forests have been swept from tbeir surface by some unknown agency, and that annual fires have prevented a new
growth. T o comprehend tbe vastness of these regioos requires
the fresh stVctch of a vivid imagination. Illinois is called "The
ric State." and at least ninetenths of its surface is treeless,
while Southern Wisconsin. Southern Minnesota, Iowa. N o r t h
Missouri, and Eastern Knnsasand Nebraska have even a less proportion of timber. And how much territory, think you, is included in that one sentence ? W b y a country larger than all
New England and the Middle States measured off together 1
Y e t we have b a t just opened tbe door nod stepped upon the
threshold of tbe treeless portions of the Republic. N o r t h lo the
British possessions, south lo tbe Gulf and State of Mexico, and
westward to the Pacific tboy stretch, vast.-illimitable. Immediately before us, tbe region called " The Plains," set down by
old geographers as tbe Great American Desert, reaches to tbe
Rocky Mountains, extending an average distanco of.500 miles
from east to west and three times as far from north to south, a
region mainly covered with gra-«s. yet absolutely without trees.
Entering the'fastnesses of tbe Rocky Mountains, one might iuppoae that we should come upon extensive and valuable forests ;
but however valuable and important to tbe settler, there is DO
timber here for shipment to the plains below. One of tbe olde s t settlers aod best informed citixeos ol Colorado recently informed me that tbe entire supply of timber in that State would

CITY :

FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 15, 1866.
The following is a correct copy of tbe Reconstruction Amendment as altered by tbe Senate Committee

T h e report is said

t o be principally the work of Senators H o w a r d and G r t m c s —
*]1ie points in which it differs from the Amendment as i t pasted
tbe Boose, are that the clause of the first section and tbe whole
o f tbe third and fourth sections are new, though tbe third sectioo is a substitute for the section of the same number in tbe
House proposition

T h a t , i t will be remembered, disfranchised

all rebels till 1870.

This, it will be seep, does not restrict the

rights of suffrage, but rather tbe privilege of office-holding, and
tbe point made against that by Secretary Stanton, viz : that it
tied the bands of ^Congress by amendment of the Constitution,
cannot be made against this, as its last clause gives Congress the
power, at any time by a two-thirds vote to remove tbe disabilit y Of holding office.

The new clause in the first section, defin-

ing citixensbip in tbe Stales as well as in tbe United State*, is
regarded oo al! bands as a very important modification.

Tbe

amendments to tbe third section are not m a t e r i a l :
