An INDIAN MoTHER.-A correspondent of the
Journal of Commerce relates the following incident
which occurred during visit nateby him to the In
dams now at Washington:
"Amonp those who were introduced into the room
at our visit, was sQuaw, whose physingnQmy might
be said resemble that ola Short studded Irish girl
such as is frequently at the wash-tub. Without
any pretensions to beauty, there certain frank
ness and good nature in her counteDance, which Sc
cured for her favorable impression. Her thick, lan
hair hung in full length down her face, reaching al
most to her shoulders, while slight tnge of paint
set off her copper cheek to special advantage. She
was the wife Of of tire chiefs My little girl stood
cingng to my hand, as she ventured TO look up tim
idly at this Indiana believes Of terror to all
chdren,-her fears not being diminished by the fact
that some half dozen savages of the forest were walk
ing about the room, some evidently not in a very
pleasant mood of mind. For some time this squaw
eyed nv child with singular earneSneSs, seeming
deed to forget all around in the interest which the lit
tie girl had created in her feelings. She continued
to gaze on her till the tear seen TO start In hcI
eye. Presently she clasped her III her arms, raised
her mp, aud for some moments held the trembling
child TO her bosom in the most aeclonate MANNER
then having placed her her feet and let her 90,
continued to follow her round the room until we de-
parted When we inquired what 1t could mean, The
Interpreter replied that she had left little girl OF
the anne age at home That the solution of the
matter. There was the beating of the sasAse mo-
theirs heart-Yith a pGlsaticnsha had IFS origin IN
the pralrfes Of tho West. The delicate invisible
chord that bound the heart of the mother to thehd
stretched far across the Allcghanies, and the faher
of rivers those forest sotudcs where the savages
delight to roam, and where the natural aieetsosI
planted by God in the untrtoIed bosom, glovs with
its native ardes,.and is regulated by the same laws

of her husband at Nashville few months ago. He
is fit instrument of the High Tarifites!

KILLED BY LIGHTNING.-On Thursday, at about two
o'clock, p. m, during thunder squall which came
up suddenly, Thomas RAMSEY, was struck instantly
dead by lightning the corner Of Indiana and
Vermont streets He was carpenter by trade, and
on his way from dinner. where his wife and chill
dren had just parted with him. Little did they
.sdream, when he left them full of health, that
he would IT, Aly and without warning be sum-
moned into eternity. In the aid and sympathy of the
benevolent may they find comfort and consolation.
Dr. CASTOR, of the physicians who called,
states to that the lightning seemed to have FIRST
struck the deceased upon the upper front of the head
a little 81 passing down, it singed off part
of the left ey Stontlnued its course down the
body, tearing the skin little upon the lower part of
the abdomen, and then passed down the legs to the
ground There two holes in the earth, indcat-
ing that the deceased was in the act of walking rapid
" or running.
We understand that the body carried home,
and that it three quarters of hour before ply
sicians could be procured attend. But in all pro-
liability they could have done no good even at the
earliest moment. In such cases, believe it is the
received opinion that the best remedial is the
profuse and sudden application of cold water to the
head and chest, and friction of the limbs. This can
be done by any person.
