Every day the use Of cast iron is becoming
more general; bridges and steam boats are made

roads, and at Liverpool churches are built -
Here, in Paris, we have lately got pianos, the
framework of which is formed of cast from
These instruments have been brought 10 such
perfection BY NJ. NJ. Pleyel * Co. that not only
do they rival, but, in many particulars, surpass

FRENCH FEMALE EDUCATION.


A smart little French girl Of sixteen, return
ing with her father s mother, after finishing her
education at Paris Pension, to her home in
Provence, chartered away TO me. made many
inquiries into the nature and extent OF their
studies, and found she had studied-orthogra-
ply, (upon this she laid great stress, land geo
graphy, (of which she hid certainly most O.
rieinal, but somewhat confused notion, THAT
she had moreover, acquired a smat,erng OF
grammar, a considerable experience o! dancing
"a very little music-a good deal oil embroi-
dery-and most complete critical and ar
dent taste for dress; and in this last accom-
plishment her soul and mind, thoughts and
observation, seemed absorbed. "But what did
YOU read at schooi--what books" Oh, pour les

-"Mais par example. ~ inquired what they
were about: were they history? "Ah, l'histoire
mon Dieu! QUIZ" She declared she had read
three gros volumes OF histoty nearly all through
and what history!" What history" She did
no, exactly know '"But what was 1t about
ar was about some kings and battles;"-but
what kings and battles she really could not say

NORTH AMERICAN REVIEW.

Of this periodical we have sometimes spoken
in censure, and more frequently in praise. There
is, in the last number, one article, Of which all
true hearted Americans ought to feel proud
1t relates to the Indian affairs. The Quarterly
Review, which has ever been bitter enemy to
toevery thing American, and which never seems
to be truly grati6ed except when trying to de-.
preciate and vilify the American character, has,
on several occasions, poured out its malevoent
spleen upon US, on account Of what 1t pleases
to call our sordid and cruel treatment Of the
North American Indians The Boston Re-
viewer takes up the gauntlet, and hurls it back
into the slanderer's face, with directness of
aim, and energy Of blow, which must PROSTATE
forever the anonymous assailant. He proves,
from facts the most inconte stible, that whalev-
er OF injustice and oppression has been acted
towards the aborigines, it began with the Brit
ish authorities whilst these states were colo
MES, and ended when they became independent
He proUes, that from the revolutionary war un-
Ill the present period, our Indian policy has
been kind, considerate and just; that whatever
territories we have obtained from the m has been
obtained By fair purchase and not by violence,
that we have paid, and do s,ll pay them annui-
ties 10 large amount; and that, instead OF our
purchases having been prof able adventure,
nave rtSuuCu hNC q 1885,
He proreS, that at all times and under all cir
cumstances the Indians have been objects OF
our special care, and that at no time have we
done Cor countenanced the doing) any thing to
abridge their comforts or lessen their numbers.
He prores moreover that every item Of the ca
lumny vented against us by the Quarterly is
thoroughly false, and that it may with perfect
truth be recrimlnated against the British au-
thorIies in Canada The writer of the article
is intimately acquainted with the subject. He
is has been, residen: among the Indians
His facts are derived from personal knowledge,
as well as public documents He opposes these
facts 10 the Quarterlv's assertions After having
vinGicated our government anc our country
from the foul sspersons Of this malignant libel
Ter, he turns upon the British government; and
i'm the most concise manner (but at the same
time in the coolest and btlerest terms expose
the rotten policy Of their Indian East & West)
and colonial relations. In short, it is paper
eminent for the overwhelming nowerot its IT a
soning and facts, and written in style singular
for its nea,ness, impressiveness and force. We
are told that the author is Governor Cass. II
so, it is another title to his country's respect
We suggest to the proprIetors of the North IL
merican Revie,c that the article be reprinted in
pamphlet form Gas more commodlous Tor cir
cularon) and distributed throughout the conti-
men, and even in Europe, 1t cannot fail to pro-
Guce the deepest impression in our .a'oi.

The Editors Of the Baltimore American have
learnt from an authentic source, that the aid Of
the U. States Engineers has been promptly pro
missed by the general government, in the ia
tended surveys for the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
Road. Their assistance will save much delay;
and has been accorded with readiness which
indicates the sense of the government as to the
importance of the scheme, and its desire 10
promote with effect what may tend so greatly
10 The national benefit.
A gentleman who atteded the recent cleo
,ions in York county, Virginia, writes to the
editor of the Norfolk Beacon, under date OF

"The Election in York County terminated

his vote for John Tyler as Senator, and OF his
