An Indian Lecturer.

Chippewa Indian Chief has recently been en-
tightening the sdown casters in relation to the
toms of the nation. According to the Hartford
Times, he recommended his female auditory to fol-
low the Indian mode of nursing infants.
He advised the ladies of Hartford to tie their ba-
bies, as soon as they were born, to board, bind
them down tight land keep them there ofthe time
till they are ten months old. ssPut hoop around
the head,'' he says, and then when the board gets
knocked over, il won't break the child's nose."-
He sums up other advantages as follows: ayou see
ladies (hodng up specimen,) the child's hands are
tied down, so it can't scratch its eyes out; it
can't wrggle about and get very tred it can't bend
over and must grow straight; when the mother goes
out after herbs she hang it on tree, and snakes
can't bite II; when it cries the mother swing it
across her back, and rock it so-(swaying his body
to and fro and carry great distance in this
manner, too; sit it up side of the igwam, very
handy; and when canoe turns over the child swims
off on the board and don't drown; anG its back don't
break across its mothers arm, because the board
supports it; the child can't crawl into the fire and
burn up, too-can leave it long time, all safe-so
think this much best way ladies-much best!''
The ladies gave in their assent by general laugh.

The old Bachelor.

In the vast fowery field of human af-
fiction, the old bachelor is the very scare
crow of happiness, who drives away the
little birds OF love that come to steal the
hemlock seeds of loneliness and despair.
Where is there more pitable object in
the world than a man who has no amiable
women Interested in his welfare. How
dismal does his desolate room appear
when he comes home at night, wet and
hungry, and finds a cold hearth and bar
rem table-and a lonely pillow, and looks
like the white urn of every earthly enjoy
ment! See the sick old bachelor, in the
dark afternoon of life, when his heart is
sinking to its sun-down! Not solitary
star of memory CLEANS over the dusk of his
opening grave-no weeping wife 10 bend
like blessing over his dying bed-no
fond daughter to draw his chilly hand in
to the warm pressure Of hers, and warm
his icing blood, with the reviving fires OF
unfailing afection-no manly boy to link
his breaking name with the golden chain
Of honorable society, and bind his history
in the vast volume of the world he is
leaving forever. He has eat, and drank.
and died! and the earth is glad she has
got rid of him; for he has done little else
out cramp his soul into the circumference
of a sixpense, and no human being but his

The mother laid down her work on the

cheek against her ear. The mother rock

The Pachcco Slave Case.

AS probably many Of our readers have forgotten
the circumstances on which the Pacheco claim is
based, we give brief history of it from the N. Y.
Tribune:
Early in the progress Of the Florida war upon the
Seminoles, Major Dade hired OF Pacheco, at S25 per
month, his slave Lewis, to guide through the
try of the hostile savages the expedition which Ma
ior Dade commanded. Lewis was a negro OF re-
markable ability spoke four languages fnently, and,
it seems secret confederate and spy of the In
dams at the time. When about half way TO
its destination, the expedition suddenly attack
ed by the Indians, and almost entirely destroyed.
hardly man escaped. The negro was no more
heard of until the close Of the war, when he came
in with band Of Seminoles who surrendered, find
ing longer resistance impossible. He was now
claimed by his old master, but, whether in accord
ance with the terms OF captulaton otherwise,
does not appear) Gen. Jesup resisted the claim and
declared that Lewis must go west with the discom-
fitted savages-and so he did. Whereupon Pacheco
claims payment for him by the Government.

AnCc<7Ote Of Mr.. Giddings.

When Mr., Giddings was on his way to
Cincinnati, advocating, upon the stump,
the princi pies Of Free Soil, and sustain
ing the buffalo nominees, he met, on every
hand, the most bold and reckless asser-

wholesale declarations, stating that all

At this instant the cars pulled up at an

but without bringing in single deserta.
Among the deserters from the squadron
are some Of the best petty officers and SEA-
men, having but few months to serve, and
large balances due them, amounting in The
aggregate to over ten thousand dollars.

A Bankrupt Government.

How different from the gloomy predic-
tons of the wings, is the present state Of
the credit and sound financial condition Of
our Government, under Democratic poll
cy, as evidenced by the following items,
from the n. Y. Journal of Commerce, OF
the 4th inst.
Tuesday was busy day at the sub
treasury; about $4,000 was paid in and
100000 paid out, Of which half was on
account of interest. Bags of gold were
running about Wall street as plenty as in
California. A large amount was also paid
out yesterday.
The total amount of January interest,
for which the treasury here has been
drawn upon is about $3.50, GOO, being a
little more than two-tiiths Of its whole
stock Of specie On the lst inst.
There is rumor prevalent in the
street, that the State comptroller is about
to recommend to the Legislature that
United States stock and treasury notes be
received from the free banks as security
for notes. This or something else caus-
ed great demand for treasury notes vest
erday, and after the second board more
than 100000 worth were sold in the
street at 1913 1854
One or two houses made also large
purchases of the new loan at lOS 7-8 was
offered, and 100 asked. The amount Of
| this loan, the issue of which has been
suspended, is about 100000; and pro-
badly 100000 or more of it will remain
It'll March, as Mr.. Walker has reserved
to himself the right of postponing it to
whatever time May be convenient for the
Department. There is also reason to sup
pose that he will by March buy in an
! other 100000 worth Of stock.
The loan of lS47, payable in 1867, is
less sought after, and brings compare
lively low price, because that stock and
the treasury notes which are convertible
into it, are the only securities of the gen.
eral government which the Secretary OF
the Treasury is not authorised to purchase
at the market rate. 1t is rather hard for
Uncle Sam to be so prosperous and in
such growing credit, that he must pay for
his obligations four times the premium
which he got for them but it is better than
to have no credit at all.

THE MISSISSIPPI FRozEN.-The great river OF the
West has been frozen over this last bout, from st
Louis TO within twenty-five miles OF Cairo. The
ice, however, was rot very thick. This casualty is
