The Rhode-Island Republican. [volume] (Newport, R.I.) 1809-1841, 1838-09-05

INDIAN NEws.-According to the Nash
Vile Banner and ST. Louis Republican, the
Cherokees west Of the Mississippi have in
vted II council Of all the tribes between the
Red River and the Mississippi excepting
the Kansas and Osnges. Apprehensions
are entertained that this step is prelude to
an union among the Indians west of the
Mississippi, in war against the United
States. General Gaines has sent despatch
es to the War Department, Informing it Of
these movements, and requesting permis-
sion to attend the council with an armed
force, for the purpose of intlmidating them
from any hostile intentions.
The Rhode-Island Republican. [volume] (Newport, R.I.) 1809-1841, 1838-09-05

BATHING.-Few people on this continent
are impressed with the importance of bath
ing frequently. Were they so, no citizen
who could afford to eat three meals dsy
but would have bathing appara,us of some
kind or other in his dwelling. So essential
TO health do The Turks consider cleanliness
Of person, that they have made it a part of
their religion TO bathe every day. The
Rassians have facilities for the very poores,
classes to enjoy this luxury, and their pub
lie baths have become the pride Of their ma
,ioR and the admiration oflhe world. Were
proper attention paid to this subject, we
should sson have very little occasion for
doctors and undertakers and why we
should he so far behind civilization in this
important particular, is smongs, the won
ders Of the ogc.
For the robust, the sea 10 undoubtedly
the best place to bathe but all consttu-
tons cannot endure sea-baihing. To such
we recommend either the warm water or
the vapor baths. Our preference is for the
lsuer-the medicated vapor ba'hs"-and
we will give our reasons for our preference.
While the plain baths, either cold or warm,
merely refresh and invigorate the body for
the moment, the vapor bath infuses new life
into the whole sys,em-men,al and corpo-
real. |, promotes, beside. cleanliness. cheer
falness and energy Of mind, checks disease
in It's in.iplcncy, and gives 10 age the fresh
ness of ynuth.

Lore and Narridge.-A case was recent
ly tried at Rutland, Vermont, in which a
Miss Munson recovered $l425 of n Mr..
Hastings, for breach of marriage contract.
The curiosity of the thing is, that the Yer
mont Judge charged the jury "that no expll-
cit promise was necessary TO bind the parties
10 marriage contract, but that long con-
unued attentions or intimacy with n female,
was good evidence of intended ma,rmo-
nv a special contract" The principle
of the case undoubtedly is, that # Hastings
did not promise, he ought 10 hare done 1t =,
and so the law holds him responsible for
the nom performance of his duty. 4 most
excellent decision-a most righteous Judge
compared with whom Daniel would ap-
pear but Il common squire. We have no
idea of Il young fellow dangling about wo-
man for year or two without being able
to screw his courage 10 the sticking point,
and then going off leaving his sweetheart
half courted we hate this everlasting nibe,
and never bite-this beating the bush and
never starting the game-this standing 10
the rack w!thou' touching the corn; it is
the crying sin of the age. There is not one
girl in twenty can tell whether she is court
ed or not. No wonder that when Betty
Shippers cousin asked her if Billy Doubt
ful was courtng her, answered." don't
know 'xactly-he's sorter cour,ine,' aud
sorter not courin." We have no doubt that
lhis Hastings is one of these " sorier not"
fellows, aud most heartily do we rejoice that
the Judge has brought him up standing with
IA SI425 verdict.
The judge says, that long continued at-
tentions,' or infancy is just as good as
regular promise. Now we do not know
what would pass for intimacy according
to the laws of Vermont; but supposing at
tentions' to consist in visiting girl twice a
week and estimate the time wasted by
Miss Munson at each visit to be worth a
dollar, which is dog cheap, Mr.. Hastings
has been making n fool of himself fourteen
years and some odd weeks.
This decision makes n new era in the
law of love, aud we doubt not will tend to
the promotion of ma,rimony and sound
Utica Democrat.
