oppose the contemplated measures in every legal
and constitutional way. The methods by which the
true nature OF these measures mly be made appar-

and hamanely, and generously, towards the Indians
may be enforced are too various to be enumerated
here. In word. every thing which is practicable,
should be done, to bring the whole community to a
sense of what is truly honorable to ourselves as
nation, and truly just to our dependent allies. No
people ever had better opportunity to obtain a
durable name for justice and benevolence towards
acknowledged interiors, ito whom we are yet under
great obligations than the people of the United
States have at the present moment.
These things the people of the United States are
bound to do; and If these things are done, the In

GREAT SURGICAL OPERArIoN. A tumor was
taken from the abdomen of woman, at the
Massachusetts, Hospital, on Saturday, of an
enormous size. The patient underwent the one
ration with degree of fortitude, that astonish-
ed all the faculty present, -neither speaking
nor moving while the knife was in use. The
case was one of peculiar character-life or
death was depending. We understand the
surgeon was very unwilling to hazard the ope.
ration, but the patient would not excuse him
being resigned to her fate, let il terminate as it
would. She died just after all the blood vessels
were secured, and at moment too, when the
utmost anxiety and sympathy were exhibited for
her welfare.-B0StOn Trarelier.

HUMAN COMBUSTION. We extract the
following singular case of spontaneous COM
bastion from the Archives Gen. de Medicine:
gentleman of a robust, healthy constitu-
ton, and temperate habits, "a years of age,
extinguished with his hands the burning
clothes of his brother, who had accidentally
set fire to them with sulphur, and was i'm
mediately afterwards attacked with acute
pains in both hands. woman who came
to his succour observed that both hands
were surrounded by blue flame. This at
first was supposed to be occasioned by the
sulphur adhering to them, and an attempt
was made to extinguish the flame with cold
water, but without effect. The gentleman
ran down stairs to a cutters shop, and
plunged his hands into quantity of mud i;
from this he derived very little relief AZ
ter suffering in this manner much torture
for half an hour, he ran TO the house of DIR.
r. de Bras, by whom the case is related.
On the way, both himself and he woman
who accompanied him observed distinctly
the blue flame surrounding the hands. The
physician met him ut the door, and observ-
ed the hands to be red, swelled, and exhal
ing kind of smoke or vapor. He directed
his patient TO plunge his hands into a we'll
and to keep them there until he experienced
relief; on his doing so the pain abated and
the flame ceased, but he had not gone more
than $50 PAGES homeward when it re-
appeared. On reaching his dwelling he i'm
mediately immersed his hands in a bucket
of water, which, as it got rapidly heated, he
bad repeatedly renewed. As often as he
took them out of the water, he remarked a
sort of unctious matter flow along his fin
gers, and the blue fame reappeared. The
latter was not, however, visible, except in
situation where the light of the candle was
shaded. A gentleman who remained in the
room with him saw the blue fame several
times in the course Of the night; towards
daybreak only sparks were visible. Dur
ing the day the pain was severe, and large
vesications, filed with a reddish serum, had
formed on the fingers; indeed the cuticle
was entirely removed and the CUTS greysh
and corroded. The vescations being open
ed, cerate was applied to the denuded sur
faces, and the whole covered with poultices.
The inflammation which followed was mod
elate, the suppuration healthy, and in six
weeks the ulcers caused by the burning
were healed but the cicatIices were dis
tinct, and several Of the nails dropped off.

PRAIRIE FIREs. We have no means Of
determining at what period the fires began
to sweep over these plains, because we
know not when they began to be Inhabited.
1t is quite possible that they might have
been occasionally fred by lightning, previ-
Gus TO the introduction of that element by
human agency. At all events, it is very
evident, that as soon as fire began to be
used in this country by its inhabitants, the
burning ofthe prairies must have commence
ed. One of the peculiarities Of this climate
is, the dryness of its summers and autumns.
A drought often commences in August,
which, with the exception of few showers
towards the close of that month, continues
throughout the fall season. The autumnal
months are invariably clear, warm and dry.
The immense mass ofvegetation with which
this soil loads itself during the summer, is
suddenly withered, the whole surface of the
earth is covered with combustible materials.
This is especially true Of the prairies, where
the grass grows to the height of from six
to ten feet, and, being entirely exposed to
the sun and wind, dries with great rapdity.
A single spark of fire falling any where
upon these plains, at such time would in
stantly kndle blaze, which would spread
on every side, and continue its destructive
course as long as it could find fuel. Trav-
ellers have described these fires as sweep
ing with rapidIty which renders it hazard
Gus to fly before them. Such is not the
case; or is true only of few rare in
stances. The thick sward of the prairie
presents considerable mass of fuel, and
offers barrier to the progress of the fame,
which is not easily surmounted. The
fire advances slowly and with power The
heat is intense. The flames often extend
across wide prairie, and advance in long
! line. No sight can be more sublime, than
to behold III the night, stream Of fire sew
eral miles in breadth, advancing across
these wide plains. Leaving behind it a
black cloud of smoke, throwing before it a
vivid glare which lights up the landscape
with the brllliancy of MONDAY. A roaring
and cracking sound is heard like the rush
ing of ii hurricane. The fame which in gem
I eral rises TO the height of about twenty
! feet, is seen sinking and darling upwards
IN spires, precisely as waves dash against
each other, and as the spray flies into the
] air; and the whole appearance is often that
of a boiling, and flaming sea, violently agi-
tated. The progress of the fire is so slow,
and the heat SO great, that every combusti-
ble object in its course is consumed. Wo
TO the farmer, whose ripe corn fields extend
into the prairie, and who suffers the tall
grass to grow in contact with his fences
The whole labor of the year is swept away
in few hours. But such accidents are
comparatively unfrequent, as the preventa-
tive is simple, and easily applied.

in little more than three years she was again
widow, and remained single until the period
when the heir apparent to the crown saw and

to maturity. Her virtue, however, was proof
against the temptations of becoming the mere
