CATCHING A Tasman.
A TRADITION ’ 0F ' SWEDEN.
Charles the Twelfth of Sweden, sin-named,
on account of his warlike propensities, by
his admirers, the “Lion of the North,” and
by his detractors,.vvith equal justice, per-
haps, the “Madman 0f the North,"accident-
ally encountered at “the Chateau Gortz a
young creature from the banks Of the Vol?
ga—a niece of Baron 'Gort‘z. So' powerfiil
was'the impression she cit once made upon,
the hitherto impregnable heart of- the hero,
so completely. was he spell-bound in her
charms, that he seemed to lose all r8collec-
tion of othel'matters, even ‘of the. disastri-
ous battle of Fellows. , ‘
. The name of this enchantress was the
Princess Ikla, for she was 'a princess, her
mother, the barOn’szsis'ter, having married
.the Hetman of the Tartars. Being left
an orphan at an early age, she had taken
up her residence with Baron Gorlz at Strai-
sund. . . -
The Baron was a bit of a historian—or
thought he was—and was then engaged in
writing a history of the, king, who called
upon him often to reviso and correct the
work. Besides, the BarOn was one of the
crown counsellors, and was often entrusted
with important business of state. '
Charles the Twelfth had that desire which
seems inherent in the breast of greatness-he
'wrshed to be loved for himself alone, with-
out any regard to his state.a'nd grandeur.
Consequently lie-had himself 'presentedlto
Ikla under me simple title of-Count D’Ol-
fen, and in that name 110* paid his court to
the erratic princess; for her. Tartar blood
made her disregard many ofthe conven-
tionalties Oi'_ life, though her uncle often de-
clared that she had the bleed of the Gortzes
full in her veins, and was no more a Tartar
than he was—and there was not much of
the Kalmuck abouthim. .
Baton Gortz was highly delighted at-the
prospect of becoming the uncle of the king;
but that delight was tempered by a whole-
some dred of his prospective nephew-in-law.
For stripping off the dazzling veil of his
military glory, he mustacknowledge that
‘ Lion of the North” was an unmitigated
tyrant, and ruled, his subjects in a very. ar-
bitrary manner. '
Baron dc Goriz had proof of this one day,
when he received a-letter from the king. It
contained these words:
“Baron Gortz: Information has reached
me that the Captain ofHubans, Gustavus
Reinold, who was condemned to death, for
neglect of orders at the battle of Pultowa,.
but who escaped beforethc execution of his
sentence, has been seen‘in Stralsuud. Write
instantly to the Governor; tell him I'hold
him responsible for the apprehension of this
traitor. Within five minutes ,cf his being
taken and identified, let him be shot. And
the person in whose house he shall be found
shall be forthwith shot. CHARLES.”
This letter troubled the good old baron
orcly,.for his niece had made him promise
to intercede for this identical young ofiicer.
He wished fondly in his heart that the king
and Ikla were married, because then he
should be his uncle, and he could never
thin of shooting one of the royal family.
He wrote the order the Governor, and
sent it by a servant, who informed him that
an oflicer of the police wished to speak with
him. Wondering at this he turned to the
hall below. on his return, he found Ikla,
a sylphid, dark-haired; dark-eyed gypsy
of a woman, gafig listlessy them the large
bay window intmthe street below.
“What is the matter?” sheasked.
“I want to put you on your guard," be ex-
claimed, breathlessly. “The police have
sent to say they have reason to believe that
In
my chateau.” ‘
“I know it,” answered Ikla, coolly.
concealed him.”
“Who is he I”
“Gustavus Reinold.”
The baron uttered a dismal groan.
“Ikla, you have murdered me i” he‘ cried,
and sank feebly into a chair.
“Not so bad as that, I liope,!’ she. repliedr»
sinilingly. ,
“I tell you that whoever harbors the trai-
tor is to be shot i” exclaimed the frightened
baron, irately.
“You know well that Gustavus isno trai-
tor." . ' ‘ .
“What signifies that f If the king orders
it, he must be shot—and so must I!" said
the baron, groaning. “What made you
take so fatal an interest in this wretched
w...
young man.”
“His misfortunes,” replied Ikla. “He is
innocent; I know it, and my dear mother,
your sister, knew it' also. Forced by a cruel‘
and unjust sentence to fly his country, he
found refuge and safety in ours." j
“Then why the deuce did he leave it ?”
“ To follow me when {you sent for me.
Finding the pursuit so hot, I thought the
best asylum for him. Was your chateau.”
- At this moment a‘servant entered} the
room, and announced Count D’Olfen. . _
The baron’s visage brightened with a
hopeful idea. ' ‘
“There is but one chance for us all 1” he
exclaimed; mary the. count at once, and
.the'n—” , He checked himself abruptly.
“If it depends on that, our chance is
small,” she returned roguisbly; “but listen
to me—Obcy me, and all willyet be well. I
intend to play a desperate game: but if I
win, I shall save a life of far more value
than my owu." '
She held a rapid conference with the bar-
on :‘ and though he listened to her ’at first
with astonishment and. alarm,_she finally-
won him over to her purpose, and he prom-
ised to assist her, though it was with fear
and trembling. But he had pretty well
made up his mind by this time that he
should be shot any way, and he thought it
would not make much difference for what.
He withdrew, and Charles the Twelfth,
as CoundD’Olfen, entered the room. He
wore the uniform'of his favorite regiment;
‘a light blue coat trimmed with gold, and
corners . of the skirts turned back; high
boots of black leather, to which a formida-
ble-pair of spurs were attached; a three-
corn‘ered black hat; a black stock; bufi‘
gauntlets,‘ and a heavy sword. He looked
mor like a warro'r equipped for the. field,
than a lover seeking his lady's bower.
He felt like a timid school boy in the pres-
once of this exquisite beauty, who had
circled to th very citadel. Wouldany one
believe that he was Charles the Twelfth?
In her turn Ikla also had her reflections.
, "He seeks a Tartar," she thought ; “he
shall find one."
stormed the outworks of his heart, and pen-~
“What, count,” she exclaimed, “in regi-
mentals? How devoted you must be to the
king I” ‘ .
“Well, I am," he exclaimed; “but I came
here, as well as I can recollect, to tell you
how devoted I am to you—only, I confess
myself awkward in these matters. I never
cared for a woman till I saw you.” .
“Why, count, you must be the very coun-
terpart of the king,"cricd Ikla, c0quettishly.
“They sayhe hates women.” . ,
"He does no such thing,” replied Charles,
quicUy'. . -
“now do you know 7" she asked, archly.
“I think I know him.”
' “You might as well say you think you
know yourself.”
“How i" he said suspiciously. ‘
“Which no man does.”
. ' “Oh, I how you, at all events. I know
what a taking, striking, bewitching little
creature you are! Above all I know how
I love you! I am a plain, blunt soldier,
and like to know the Worst that can happen
to me. Do you love me i” .
“Is that the worst that can happen to you ?”
she asked demurely.
“Ikla, I generally get the best of it at
blows; but I own you beat me on words. I
shall simply Tatum to the charge. Do you
love me I” . p ' ’
“I must‘ha‘ve proof of your love before I
answer that.” '
- “What proof?” ‘ .
- “Would you grant any little whim of
mine?” . -
“Certainly, I would.” '
“Don’tmake any rash promises.”
“I swear it.” . _ A
. Ikla laughed gleefully,'went into ,an ad-
the demos Of filly years ago. ' '
“I have the greatest desire to see how you
would look dressed as my grandmother,”
she cried.
The king was appalled.
"Death and the dev—"he began.
“Oh, fie! no swearing in . a lady’s pres-
ence 1" she said checking him. “But I am
glad I have discovered what your love
amounts to." .
He expostnlated with her, and endedfa‘t
common mortals do, in submitting to a wo-
man’s will. ' - A
She then dressed him in the heavy‘ bro-
cade dress, and then tied the high starched
cap tightly under his chin.
“Faugh l” he cried in disgust, “this dress
makes me smelllike a musk-rat.”
“You don't like perfumes, then i”
“No—yes; one—gunpowder! I’m like
Charles the Twelfth, and there’s no perfume
for me but gunpowder.”
Ikla, fervently.
He regarded her in pleased surprise.
“What, are you in love with the king 7”
“Oh, dear, no! Only one might be in-
clined to sacrifice one’s self for the good of
one’s country” '
Charles smiled grimly.
“You [are "vastly condescendhg," he re-
plied. _ . '
“And, pray, what else would you do
the good of your country i”
“I would soften his character. I would
tame this lion; and he should soon be ,as
much beloved as he is already admired and
feared.” '
“And how is this to be accomplished?”
inquired Charles. .
“Sit down and let me tell you. There,
now, you must fancy yourself Charles .the
Twelft .” .‘ '
“Well, I do,” he answered, with a signifi-
cant smile.
‘ “Consider me the queen,” she continued,
and drew her chairbeside him. .
“Go on,” he cried, rather pleased with the
conceit. ‘ .
“I should devote my life in obtaining and
securing his entire confidence."
“We will suppose you have it."
“Then I should see it to make him sub-
mit, ongall fitting occasions, to my sovereign .
will. I Would teach him the true value of
his nOblest prerogative.”
“Which is'—"
“Mercy.”
“Come, come, Charles the Twelfth is se-
vere, I know, but he is just.”
“Not always. Witness the caSe of
for
:Cap-
‘tsin Reinold." -
Charles started, and glanced at her suspi-
ciously. - .
“What do you know of that culprit I” he
cried. '
“His sentence is unjust,” she answered
terference of the queen.” She rose,went to
if I were queen, Iwould approach the king,
She walked up to him with dignity. . “1
would say to him, Sire, your honor and
your glory both require that you should put
your name to this—sign."~
He took the paper from her in surprise,
und‘lookcd at it. .
“A pardon for Captain Reinold,” be ex-
claimed, aud his brow darkened angrily.
“Indeed, then, my dear little friend, if I were
_ Charles the Twelfth, this would be my an-
swei.”
Hc tore up the paper. ~ ,
Nothing discOmposed, she immediately
drew another paper from her pocket.
“Then,” she said, and knelt at his feet,
pleadingly, as she spoke, “King of Sweden,
your eyes are blinded,not by justice, but by
anger. When Captain Reinold was entrust-
ed with that Order, he found the battle or
Pultowa, irrelrievably lost; if he had deliv-
credit, he would only have caused a massa-
cre of the Swedish prisoners by the remorse-
less Russians. For this reason alone he did
not deliver it, and thus incurred your maj-
csly’s displeasure."
“I desire to know the reason of the extra-
ordinary interest you take in this young
man ‘2" he asked.
“You shall know, .Count,”'slle answered,
“when you have promised to obtain his par-
don from the king.”
. “I will make no such promise,” cried
Charles, sternly. . ‘ .
A timid knocking at the door disturbed
them. Ikla would have opened it, but
Charles, aware of the ridiculous manner in
which he was dressed, restrained her. Then
the voice of the baron was heard, in very
tremalous accents, declaring that the royal
council was assembled, and awaited the
presence _of the Count. ‘
Charles, in- dismay, begged Ikla to remove
the dress, for he found it impossible to do so;
but she only laughed at his predicamgt.
“Wretched girl,” he exclaimed, angrily,
“you have forced me to declare myself. I
am the king." ' -
But she only laughed the lender.
“Sire,” she answered with mocking curt-
sey, “I have known it from the first. Sign
the pardon, therefore, or I will at once ad-
mit the council.” _
The king - was obliged to acknowledge
himself vanquished. _ He signed the pardon,
and Ikla freed him ii'om the obnoxious gar-
ments. Then she admitted her uncle,.and in-
formed the king .that he was all the council
there was assembled, and reassured the poor
baron, who looked half frightened to death
for the share'he'had taken in the little plot.
“Baron do Gortz,” said CErIes, “for cer-
tain, reasons I have pardoned Captain'Rein-
old. Let this parc‘ on be sent to him at once.”
Ikla took the pardon. . '
“There is no occasion to send it, sire,” she
said archly. “I can deliver it myself. Gus-
tavus is concealed in this chateau.”
“Oh,IwishI was his wife,” exclaimed '
, “Gustavus again I” cried the king, sharply.
«‘Is this man your lover ?” '
“He is, and would have been my husband."
“Then you have deceived me every way.”
“NO, sire; you deceived yourself. Had I
been ambitious, I might have sealed your
min; as itis, I have saved Sweden from a
queen who would not have been worthy of
her, and restored to her a king who is.”
He was determined she should not beat
him every Way. '
“Ikla,” he said, “I will restore Reinold
to favor, and. make him a colonel ; and, as I
still have my doubts about him, marry him.
No doubt, you will teach him to obey or-
ders in future; and may he' not find—”
“What ?”
“That he has caught a Tartar.”

THE NORTHERN PACIFIC.
The Country or the Grant Northwest.
Mr. Samuel Wilkeson has commenced the
publication of a series cfpapers in the Christ-
z'om Union, the first of which is as follows:
We had ridden till afternoon in smoke.

had entered this movable valley ofthe shad-

With sharp cries 'of disappointment I gazed
into it until my eyes ached where the. gin-
cier glories of Mounts St. Helen and .Hood
should have shine. But they were utterly '
hidden. And Shasta had made me so hun-
gry fOr snow-clad mountains in July! That
divine majesty and beauty eighty miles
away, I had worshiped with clasped hands
from the 'windOw of a mail-coach at the
dawn of an unobs'cured day, and after, for

heat was stifling. The smoke was thick and
painful. Not withoilt side I watching and

the flames slowly crept ' over bark and

A mile on a change i the formation of the
country brought us at once to a tsorng suc-
tion of air, and to a section of forest which
was on fire in a wide ravine. The roar of
the flames was like fire roar. of a water-fall.
It was appalling A sense of man’s weak- ~
ness, in oppostion to the great forces of na-
ture, fell on me crusbiugly. And a great
pity came intomy heart. I grieved for. the
noble trees as they stood immovable and
helpless while 'their deadly enemy leaped
upon them coilcdaround them,‘ glided up
them, and ran out upon their limbs, killing
dead—to feed afterward at leisure and lang-
uidly on their bodies. I would have helped
those trees ifI could, as I would have help-
eda man. In the inscrutable sympathy I
felt with them was there the audible voice
of God’s creatures appealing to kindred man
for succor ? There is consangtlinity between
the life of a tree and the life ofa man; and
I have not seen the man in America so .big
that he would not addio his dignity by tak-
ing off-hat before a'Puget Sound cedar, and
saying to it, “I beg to be permitted to claim
the honor of relationship to you, through
the kinshipthat connects all life." '
Twas scrrowful: finally, it was enraging,
Why not guard this marvelous timber. The
thing we call Government at Washington
professes to guard the Live Oaks ofFlorida,
and goes through the modem 'of doing so
quarterly in its salary paying bureaus.
.Tiiese cedars of Washington Territory are
far more valuable than the live oaks, and.
the thing we call Government at Washing-
ton lets them burn—let them burn lustyear.
and year before that, and, will let them burn
next year, and the year after next. The
Puget Sound measure of the value of this
timber. is this: “Frequently a single tree. is
fallen which is worth, alongside the ship,
ready for shipment, as much meney as
would pay for two hundred acres of the
gOvernment land on which it grow.” And
herc’these cedars are burning by hundreds
and hundreds—at that hour, inodifi‘erent
parts of the Territory, were burning by
thousands and thousands. ' .
Instigated by the devil of ambition we
quit the stage-road, and took a short-cut to
Olympia, through low ground, laughing, in
advance of our arrival there, having beaten
our fi'iends in the four-horse chariot bowl-

’Tis a disgusting memory—the construc-

was twice accelerated by well defined and

guests. Oh, the perfume of the water

there must be on this grandest of all inland
seas. The steamer's side-lights shine on the
long, wet piles that sustain the dock. A fine ‘
sharp noise, as of hail falling into the water.
I can see that the piles are covered and
festooned with mussels that arefeeding, or
chatting, or asking for Pacific drink. While
I look, a canoe glides in among the piles, on
Indian girl paddling at the bow, another at
the stern, and a heap of white clams glisten-
ing in the large space between them. That's
enough. The cap-sheaf is placed on the
overflowing harvest of my satisfactions,

The Ninth Census Complete.
The following table, prepared by the cen-
sus bureau at Washington, gives the total
population of all :the states and territories of
the Union, by the enumeration of 1870, as
commuted/with that of 1860. ' Several state-
ments, purporting to give the result of the
lag census, have been floating through the
newspapers, but this is the first that has ap-
peared with the official sanction. It will be
seen that the total population of the United
States in 1870 was 38,538,180, an increase in
ten years of 7,094,859.‘ This increase is not
so much as was generally expected, but
when it is considered that the great civil
I'war of the’ last decade swept away several
hundred thousand citizens, and that, per-
haps, as many emigrants from abroad were
discouraged from coming to our shores from.
be same cause, the country has really been
doing very well. The greatest percentage
of increase is in Nevada, and after it Nebras-
ka. Two states only exhibit a; decrease,
Maine and New Hampshire. Thctuble is in-
teresting and instructive: ,

Hearing) Candidates.
The first was too Old; he would not suit
with the elastic hopes and strong' enthusi-
asm of youth, but he was a bachelor. The
people pretty universally declared that the
minister should have a wife and a house.
The women all said there must be somebody
to organlm the sewing circles and to lead
the female ' prayer meetings. The fourth
was married, but he had three or four child-
ren. We could not support him. It seemed
to be 116 longer true that “Blessed is he
whose quiver is full of them.” The fifth
was a most learned man, who told us the
orignal Greek or Hebrew of his texts, and,
morning or evening, never came nearer to
America than Rome under Augustus Caesar.
He was dull. The sixth afforded us a. most
brilliant pyrotechnic display. He splatter-
ed, and fizzed, and banged, as though Fourth
of July himself had taken orders and gone
to preaching. The young people were car-
ried away. But the old folks all said he
was sensational. . Then, besides those we
have heard, there is the Rev. Mr. 0., who
has the reputation of being a most excellent
pastor. He is indefatigable in visiting the
sick, in comforting the afflicted, in dealing
with the recroant and unconverted. But
Mi: Wheaten says emphatically he will
never do for'onr people.
- “He is no preacher, Mr. Laicus,” says he .
“and our people demand first rate preaching.
You must remember that in the summer we
have between two and three thousand New
York men here; men who know what a
good sermon is. We must have a man that
will draw them, sir; a man as good as they
have in New Yor .”
We talked over Mr. K. He is a rare
preacher, by all accounts. I understand
that his health has suffered somewlfit by
excessive 'study, and that he would like an-
other parish, a quieter one, where can have
more timeto study, and can use his old ser-
mons. He preached once "or twice in ex-
change wilii our old pastor before he left.
But Deacons. and Elder Kay will not hear
him. “He is not social," says Deacon S,
“He does not know half the people in High-
kirk, where he has been settledfor over five
years. He often passes his best friend with-
out noticing him, on the street. “Never
would do,” says Elder K. “He only vigits
his' people once a year. I want to know my
mibister. ’ We want a man who will run in
”and out as though he cared for us. Preach-
lug is all very well, but we don’t want a
minister who is all laik.’,’——0kn'stibn U’m’on.
The New York Evening Post publishes
an historical account of the savings banks of
New York and Brooklyn. The oldest organ-
zatiou of the kind in New York boasts of
some sixty-four thousand depositors, which
is exceeded by the Pratt street institution of
this city by about nineteen thousand. The
Post says: “-It is worthy of remark that of
all the financial institutions of the country
the savings banks are, on the whole, those
which have been administered most faith-
fully and most successfully, if they may be
against them of unsoundness 0r abuses, and
by the almost unquesfioningfcoufidence
which they enjoy among the-peOple for
