WONDERFUL SAGACITY OF THE Doc!
A few days back, as the child of Mr.. John
Rot, merchant of this city, was leaning
over the bannister of the stairs in the upper
part of the house, he lost his balance. tum4
bled over, and. in the act of falling down
considerable height, was fortunate enough
to lay hold of a rail, by means of which he
was upheld, suspended in manner in the
air. dog belonging to the same gentle
man, seeing the danger the child was in;
sprang simultaneously to his relief, and ex-
tending himself over the bannister from the
stairs above, laid hold of him in this danger
GUS and alarming situation, and raising him
up, drew him back over the bannister, des
posting him on the stairs in safety. InI
stances of the wisdom and benevolence Of
this excellent animal in preserving human
life are numerous, and, to the credit of the
species, are frequently recorded. We witt
messed an instance ourselves of y child pre-
served in a similar way. from drowning in
the river Liffey the infant sprang out of
the nurses arms off the paiapet, and would
have persisted but for the dog Of Il gentle
man accidentally passing, which, plnnging
in, saved him. The father of the child,
wealty merchant, offered 930O for the ami
NAL, but could not prevail on the owner to
part with him.
THE CREEK INDIANS. The Mifledge-
vile Journal, of May &c, contains copies Of
the official documents received by the
Governor of Georgia, in relation to the de-
cisiot of the President for the removal Of
Tho CrAAt Indians The first is a ssTalk,"
in the wheedling style usually adopted by
all who have had occasion to address the
children of the forest. 1t talks much of the
kindness and friendship and brotherly af-
| lection, of the parental care which the
Great Spirit has permitted to be exercised,
and all that sort Of nonsense, which must
be sickening even to an Indian. The
Greeks are told that the land they occupy
has always been claimed by their white
brothers-that they and the white children
OF the President are too near each other to
live in harmony, (which the Creeks proba-
bly, had learned before and that they must
go beyond the Mississippi, where the lands
belong to the President, and his white
children cannot intrude upon, or modest
them, as long as the grass grows and the
water runs" The other docums1ent is a
! letter from Mr.. Eaton, Secretary of War,
to the Cherokee delegation, the object Of
which is to convince them that by various
| treaties and negotiations, the lands in ques-
ton have become the property of Georgia.
Mr.. Eaton endeavors to show that the In
dams have no right to establish an indie
pendent substantial government within the
I territorial limits of Georgia, and that there
can be no remedy for the collisions between
them and the whites but their removal be-
yond the Mississippi.-Bostom Courier.
THE DUKE OF ORLEANS. A letter from
Paris, speaking of the wealth of this peer,
says that it has arisen from the peculiar
I economy of his household. His table is
supplied by contract, and he is his own
salesman for the produce of his lands. Eve
ry horse in his stable has fixed allowance
of food, and care is taken that the animal is
no: cheated out of it. regular account
is kept of the family disbursements; and
yet, economical as he is in all respects, the
Duke is neither parsimonious nor IneaD-he
is distinguished for charity and generosity.
1t is only the judicious economist who can
afford to be generous, all the world over,
The writer from Paris says
sit is gratifying to know that with ALI
his wealth the Duke has not forgotten the
hour of adversely. Not long ago, a friend
of mine, an artist, having waited on him by
order, was shown all his paintings and
prints. The Duke at length stopping be-

that tutor Pit is myself have more pride
in that print than in all my collection; it
reminds me of one of the most laudable acts
of my life, OF the true pride of independ-
ence, which induced me to prefer honest
support, arising from my own labor, to- the
comparative splendor which might have
been procured from the compassion Of

A GENEROUS OFFER. A butcher in the
vicinity of London, lately killed and sent
part of the beef and quantity of the sect
to his sOn-in-law, weaver in Bethnnl
green, who hung it up so near to the win-
dow, that some one in the night broke'a
pane of glass and carried off the suet. Sat-
urday morning the weaver missing his sueF,
went to public house in the neighborhood,
where he posted up the following notice,
which still remains an evidence of generosA
ity and spirit.
"Whereas last night quantity of beef
suet was taken away from the house OF
James Henry Woodford-this is to give no.
tice, that if the person who took It away
will appear, and prove that he was forced
to do so by distress, the said James Henry
Woodford will give him half dozen pounds
of -four to make the suet into dumplings
but if he cannot prove that he was in dis
tress when he stole it, the said James Hem
ry WoGdford will fight him, and give him
