| G. w. Kendall ofthe Picayune, whose rest
| less and rowing disposition seems soon to weary
of the tame enloyments of civilization, and who
is apparently never so happy as upon the broad
pr arie, has left New Orleans to attend grand
Indian Council in the far west In a late letter
to his paper, he gives very animated sketch of
his Journey and converts into subjects of merri-
ment such trifing mishaps as days and nights
spent in wet cloths and blankets, an occasionally
biuouac in a gully, and the loss of half the pro-
visions Of the party. He writes from trading
post ON the Kansas, and among other amusing
incidents of travel, he describes the following
unique mode of rding-adopted by the female
equestrians of one of the Indian tribes:
"The Pot tawattamie women have style of riding
on horseback slightly differing from that considered
appropriate among ladies in the settlements. Although
their skirts are as long as the longest, they still,
to use Western expression put foot side of
their horses and one on the other The style
peculiarly adapted to the Bloomer costume but it
certainly has not made its appearance thus far West.
The N. Y. Courier comments upon the restoration
Of despotism and absoutism in Ausria-and closes
with these remarks:

of Francis Joseph will surely precipate the final
crisis, and make its intensity vet the more terrible.
In Bavaria there is very curious Mendicity Law by
which not only beggars but the gvers to be pun
shed tor whosoever gives aims either in ready money
or in vicuais, Is TO be fined from upwards to five
flOrins. The clergy enolned TO drive beggars out
of the churches and from before the church doors: and
innkeepers forbidden to allow them to crave aims
in their houses.
