Extraordinary Human Curios-
tiles.

Mr.. S. B. Knox arrived at the Tre-
mont House on Tuesday with two Kama
children, a boy and girl, an almost ex-
tinct race of Central America. They
are the most outer looking objects ever
brought to this country; but they are
.'natcral humans" Notwithstanding that
their appearance at the first glance is
rather against them. The boy is 80
inches in height, and weighs sixteen
pounds and in the opinion Of DR.. Gil
man Watts, of New York, is about ten
years Of age. The girl is % inches in
height. weighs IA pounds, and is sup
posed to be about eight years of age
Their heads are not larger than new
born infants, and they may be almost
said to be destitute of foreheads, while
their noses are finally developed. straight,
and long, and project at a well-defined
angle. Their eyes are full, dark and
lustrous. Their heads are covered with
strong dark hair, which descends for
ward nearly TO the eyebrows. The face
is very sharp, the upper lip projecting,
and the chin receding in CORES ponding
degiee. Notwithstanding the almost en-
tire absence of forehead, there is not in
the profile view the least resemblance to
the Simmie tribe. They are said to be-
long to the surviving remnant Of an an
cient order of priesthood, called Kaanas,
which, by constant intermarriage within
their own caste, has dwindled down to a
few individuals, diminuiive in stature,
and iubecile in intellect. Their heads
and faces resemble exactly the figures on
the bas-reliefs on the temple ruins de-
scribed in Stevens Central America
They are orphans, and, at the close OF
a war between two of the Aztec tribes,
fell into the hands OF a traveller named
Hammond. They are lively, playful,
ard aiicciiona,e, but all attempts to teach
them word of English have thus .ar
proved unsuccessful; bu, they occasion
ally uttered a few gibberish sounds.

The deceased was one of those who
left the lsthmus in the barque Susan for

the Captain of the vessel became de-
ranged and committed suicide. The
command of the vessel devolyed on the
Mate, who was inexperienced, coun-
Gil was called, and on examination of the

the latter, ]. M. Ill. Immediately after,

Alas, my brother! all thy gorgeous
visions and golden dreams of the Edo
RADIO have passed away forever. Thy
joyous spirits, and the buoyant hopes
which filed thy socl and nerved thy
young heart to seek the realization OF
thy fond imaginings, have sunk in dust
and darkness to the still eternity.
A widowed mother, and loving hearts
of thy childhood's home may never
welcome thy return. They may not

be waited TO that far off shore, where
the blast of the final trump shall rouse
thee from the sleep Of death, aud call
thee to rejoin the loved ones of earth.

tS Judge Dick Claiborne, under tho
old cooked hat and enormous preroga-
lives of parish judge swayed the sceptre
of Northwestern Louisiana, with d po-
tentiality and vigor hardly equalled al
the present day by the car of Russia.
Among the muliifarious duties and pow
ers of the parish Judge was that of auc-
tioneer. He sold all the property of
succession in his parish. 1t happened
on one occasion, in selling out the prop
erty of deceased grocer, that an unruly
parishioner disturbed the order of the
proceedings. The judge fined him fifty
dollars and sent him to Jail for contempt
of court. An application was made to
him by an attorney to remit the fine aud
release the prisoner, on the ground that
it was no contempt Of court, as the Judge
when fulfilling the duties Of auctioneer
was not court, and therefore not an OBJ
ject of contempt. The Judge immedi-
ately drew himself up with all his digni-
ty and conscious power, and replied,
"Sir, III let you know that am Judge
OF this parish--judge all the time-judge
from the rising of the sun to the going
down thereof; and as suca always an
object Of contempt"

Modes OF Sa.utation.

| Grcchlanders have none, and laugh al
the idea of one person being inferior to
another.
Islanders near the Philippines take a
persons hand or foot and rub it over
their faces.
Iaplanders apply their noses strongly
against the person they salute.
In New Guinea they place leaves up
on the heads of those they salute.
In the Straits of the Sound they raise
the left foot of the person saluted, pass
it gently over the right leg, and thence
over the face.
The inhabitants OF the Philippines
bend very low, placing their hands on
their checks and raise one foot in the air,
with the knee bent.
An Ethiopian takes the robe OF anoth-
cr and ties il about him, so as to leave
his friend almost naked.
The japanese take off slipper, and
the people of Arracan their sandals, in
the street, and their stockings in the
house, when they salute
Two Negro Kings on the coast Of
Africa salute by swapping the middle
finger three times.
The inhabitants of Carmene, when
they would show a particular attachment,
open vein and present the blood TO their
friend as q beverage.
Ii the Chinese meet after long sep
aration they fall on their knees, bend
their face to the earth two or three times,
and use many other affected modes -
They have, also, kind of ritual, or
Academy of Compliments" by which
they regulate the number of bows, gen.
uaexions and words TO be spoken on any
occasion. Ambassadors practice these
ceremonies forty days before they ap-
pear at court.
In Otahcite they rub noses together.

nerD Another is, 'Hoe Uaart are?"
(How do you sail! l!)-adopted, no doubt,
III the early periods of the republic,
when they were all navigators and fish
erman.
The usual salutalion at Cairo is, How
do you sweat!--a dry, hot skin being
sure sign of destructive, ephemeral
fever.
Some au,hor has observed, IN contras-
ting the naughty Spaniard with the frivo-
lous Frenchman, that the proud steady
gait, and inilexible solemnily of the for

lutation, Como esta?" How do you
STANDBY whilst the Comment vous portes-
eous2 How do you carry yourself!)
was equally expressive of the gay mo-
lion and lncessant action of the latter.
The common salulation in southern
provinces of China, amongst the lower
order is, "lafim" Have you eaten
your rice!)
In Africa a young woman, and inten-
dcd bride, broughta little water in cal
abash, and kneeling down before her
lover, desired him TO wash his hands,
When he had done this, the girl. with

This was considered as The greatest
proofs she could give of her fidelity and
attachment.

not of her mineral wealth, which has re-
moved so many of our citizens from the
enjoymeEts nslassociations of home only

pointed hopes to sink into "the sullen

resources Of Oregon are unsurpassed by
any country on the continent. and the
means of living abundant while labor re-
ceives, in all its forms, ample remunera--

emigrant upon the most favorable terms,
such are not offered elsewhere; and its
commercial and agricultural prospects
are so bright and fascinating as already
to set strongly tide Of emigration to il,

hope gold will not be found in its rivers
or upon its mountains, SO as to seduce
from the cultivation of the soil the labors

DANIEL O'CoNNEIL' s GRAvE.-- Dan
iel O'Connell, like Miltiades, Rienzi,
Massaniello, and several other men. very
popular at one time of their lives, seems,
in the apathy with which his memory is
beginning to be regarded, even in Ireland
TO exhibit the fallacy of relying too
much upon the enthusiasm of the peo-
pie. A few years ago, he was the un-
crowned monarch Of Ireland. Now he
cannot call even his grave his own!--
He lies in vault in the Glassnesin Ce-
melery, near Dublin. His coffin can be
seen through some iron railing; but nei-
ther name, age, nor any other mark of
identity is visible. Ii is covered with
silk velvet, rather faded, and has gold
ornaments and handles. There was an
effort made to collect money enough 10
erect a monument to his memory-but
it was abortiye. The sums collected
have been mostly applied to other pur-
poses. The people of Cork have laid
out their votive collection on stained
glass window for Father Mathews new
chapel. In the meantime, the dust Of
O'Connell lies in pawn with the propri-
etors of the Glassnevin Cemelery.--
These had been at the expense of bring
ing his body from Genoa; and neither
his sons, nor his friends, nor the mill
ions that used 10 make his journeys tri-
umphal progresses, have refunded this
outlay. But the agltator is at rest.
After lile's fitful fever he sleeps well.
His history and epitaph yet remain TO
be written.

The Giant of the West.

The Giant Of the West.
A late number of the Dublin Nation,
makes this impressive reference to the
future greatness of this young Republic:
"In the east there is rising colossal
ceniaur called the Russian Empire
With civilized head and front, il has
the thews and sinews of huge barbarc
body. There one mans brains moves
70.00O,O00. There all the traditions of
the people are of aggression and con-
quest in the West. There but TWO ranks
are Observation-Disclosures and soldiers. -
There the map OF the future includes
Constan!inople aud Vienna as ouiposls of
st. Petersburgh.
"ln the West an opposing and still
more wonderful American empire is
emerging. We Inslahders, have no
conception of the extraordinary events
which amid the silence of the earth, are
daily adding TO the power and pride OF
this gigantic nation. Within three years
territories more extensixe than these
three kingdoms, France and Italy, put
together, have been quietly, in almost
"matter of course fashion, annexed to
the Union.
/ Sin seventy years, seventeen new
sovereignties, the smallest of them larger
than Great Britain, have peaceabIy united
themselves TO the federation. No STAN
ding army was raised, no national debt
sunk, no great exertion wac made, but
there they are. And the late mail brings
us news of the organization Of three
more great States about to be Joined TO
the thirty. Minnesota, in the northwest;
Deseret in the southwest; and Califor-
MIA on the shore of the Pacific. These
three States will cover an area of earth
equal to one-half of the European con-
tinant.
"Nor is this mere addition on the
map. 1t is not pilng barren Pelien up
on unculiivaied Ossa. 1t is an actual
conquest of new strength and resources.
