Indian Numerals.

Some sgnlar Developments are detailed
by the National lntellgencer. which appear
in the inquiries winch are making under
the authority of Congress at the Indian BI-
reau. 1t is found that while we are paying
larre annuties to many Of the tribes who are
still in the mere hunter and barbaric state,
these tribes do not comprehend The simplest
rules of addition and division. None of
them have the slightest idea of mental arith-
.metic. They cannot mnIlpy or divide a
figure. And they have no clear apprccia-
ttion of even moderate sums, of say five or
ten thousand dollars, unless the pieces of
com are spread out before them. But for
all large sum, they are in the dark, aud are
entirely unable To understand mental di-
visor. Some of them cannot count thou
sand. Bundles of small sticks tied up, are
the ordinary mode of counting
Their arilhmetlcal root is clearly decimal.
Five fingers on each hand, held up, is a
decimal five toes on each foot, appealed

T here are separate words fer digits, from
one to Ten Mn-teS-wa. The nine former
arc then added after the latter to nineteen.
Twenty is denoted by new term mi-taa-d.
The digits from one to nine arc then added
TO this word till twenty-nne. Thirty is
compound, meaning three tens; fory, four
tens, and so on to ninety.nne. One hun

one, two, three, &c. &c. uttered before
this. render the account exact to one thou

the Algonquin mode. But the pieces OF
money, or things of any kind, must be
shown, to enable them to understand the
sum. There is no rule of multiplication,
division, &c. There is absolutely no mem
tai appreciation Of sums, This denotes
how carefully, how simply and pains taking

| ly money transactions should be conducted
with the Indians, and how liable they are
to misapprehended offers made for their
lands, and to misapprehensions or decep-
ton.
The more advanced tribes are better
arithmeticians. They have profted by eIu.
cation, and more by intermixture of races.
The Choctaws have terms to ten hundred
thousand. By adopting, at this point, the
English terms million and billion, with a
peculiar photography, they can compute

ports original terms for very high SUMS

SLAVERY.
Woe to the land whose soil is cursed
With slavery's unrecntng hand
Though seems it prosperous at first,
Woe is reserv'd for suah land.
Though sweat and toll, and blood and tears,
The harden'd lord may yet devour--
He cannot stay the storm of years,
Gathering to crush expressions power
Woe. woe to those who lend their aid,
And hepto bind the CALLING chains,
They write Their sin with human blood,
Themselves and country wear the STAIN
Lo generations yet unborn,
Shall curse them for the reckless deed
Shall heap on them a world of scorn,
When Freedom shall no longer bleed,

On. A. II CHRisrIE-Dear Sir: You wish to know of
me what has been the result in my own case of the
application of THE GALVANIC BELT AND NECK.
LACE. My reply is as follows:
For about tUenty gears | had been suffering from
Dyspepsia. Every year the symptoms became worse,
nor could obtain permanent relief from any course
OF medical treatment whatever. About fourteen years
since, IN consequence OF frequent exposure TO the
weather. in the discharge of my pastoral duties,
became subject to a severe Chronic rheumatism which
for year after year caused me Undesirable anguish.
Farther: in the winter Of 45 and 49, in conse.
quence of preaching a great deal in my own and
various other churches in this region, | was attacked
by the Bronchitis, which soon became severe as
TO require an immediate suspension Of my pastoral
lahors My nervous system 1Vas n0W thoroughly pros
haed, and as my Bronchitis became worse also did
my Dyspepsia and Rheumatic aaecton-thus evincing
That these disorders were connected with each other
through the medium Of the Nervous System In the
whole pharmacopeia there seemed to be no remedial
agent which could reach and recuperate my Nervous
system every thing that had tried for this purpose had
completely failed At last was led by my friends to
anime your inventions and Qhough with no very
guine hopes of their efficiency determined to try the

NECKLACE, with the MAGNETIC FLUID. This was

DAYS MY DYsPTPIA HAD GONE; IN EIGHT DAYS WAS
ENABLED TO RESUME MY PASTORAL LABoRs, NOR HAVE J
SINCE OMITTED A SINGLE SERVICE ON ACCOUNT THE
BRONCHITIS; AND NY RHEUMATIC AFFECTION HAS
IIRELY CEASED TROUBLE ME. Such is the wonder.

have recommended the BELT and FLUID to many
who have been likewise suffering from Neuralgia afec.
