THE
SHAM EXECUTION
THE

AT the mansion the Comtesse de Lipcna, at
Florence, as soon as the piano ceased to accom-
pany the airs Of Bellini, that is 10 say, generally
about midnight, the intimate friends Of the fa-
mily would draw together in q circle ana relate
tales and adventures until morning. There was
an ineXpresable charm TN these reiRiOaS. The
saloon was still in disorder from the ball or the
concert, but the dancers or the artists had dis
appeared. The music was scattered upon the
desks; the card tables displayed their fading
lamps, with their four vacant arm chairs; TO SO
much Joyous hustle, succeeded quiet, familiar
conversation; coffee was served together with
delicious waffes, stamped with the arms of the
Queen, and prepared by the former cook of Ma
came Dubarry.
The Comtesse frequently related Jus charm
ing narratives, witlt,h.t half French. half Iti-
liam grace which never forsook her. The illus
trlous dame hal witnessed so many dramas, So
many festivals, so many mistortuneS, that she
was never at loss when she deignei to furnish
her contingent to this traffic in anecdo'es o.
One niyhtthe circle was closely grouped a.
bout her armchair; the noble dame had promised
us som thing new, and her voice faltered with
emotion; her calm and beautiful face was evil

A RACE FOR LIFE.
A TALE OF THE PRARIEs.

During the Summer of lS-, soon after the
difficulties with thu Winnebago Indians had been
amicably adjusted by visit of the chiefs 10
Washington, accompanied by Gov. Cass, ST.
oux Indian, while out hunting near the mouth
OF Root River, shot and scalped aWinnebago,
which act he attempted TO justify by saying that
the Winnebago had wrapped around his person
the blanket OF an Indian who short time pre-
vious had murdered his brother.
The Winnebagoes became indignant at the
act, and about two thousand OF them assembled
tat Fort Crawford, and demanded OF Col. Taylor
the procurement and surrender Of the murderer.
The officers of the Fort, apprehensvc that new
difficulties might arise with this factious tribe,
If their demands were unattended 10, concluded
to make an effort to obtain the murderer. Ac-
cordngly an officer was dispatched TO demand
him OF the Sioux nation, who Immediately gave
him zip, and he was brought down the river and
confined at Fort Crawford. Soon after his ar
rivalsat the Fort, the Winncbagoes assembled
again and insisted upon the unconditional sur
render of the prisoner to them, which Col. Tay-
lor refused to make, but dispatched Lieut. R.
and DR.. EluiSe, the surgeon Of the garrison, &c
have talk with them upon the subject. Al
the conference the Winnebagos talked in threat
ening and overbearing manner, and insisted that
nothing would satisfy them but taking the life
of the Sioux in their own way and by themselves
AT length Lieut.. R. proposed that the indiar
should have a chance OF his life in the following
manner:
Two weeks from that time he was TO be lcj
ou. upon the open prairie, and in line Will
him, ten PAGES off, was to be placed upon his
fright and left, twelve of the most expert runner,
/ Of the Winnebago nation, each armed with
tomahawk and scalping knife. Ao' 60
At the tap of the dram the Sioux should b
free 10 start for the home of his tribe, and III,
Winnebagoes free to pursue, capture and scali
him if they could. -
To this proposal the winnebogoes acceded a
once, and seemed much pleased with the antiei
patton of great sport, as we'll as an easy con
quest Of the prisoner wpose confinement IN The
garrison, whose confinement in the garrison du'
ring these two weeks they believed would pros
trate whatever running qualities he possessed,

THE COUNSEL OF WoMAN.--Dr, Board
man, in his admirable work, " Hints on
Domestic Happiness" incu!caics this
doctrine, which we cordially indorse -
" In a conversation once held an en-
inen. minister Of our church, he made
this fine observation We will say
nothing of the manner in which that
sex usually conduct an argument but
the ntuitire 1udgmenfs oC uomn are of
ten more to be relied upon than the con-
illusions which wt reach by an elaborate
process OF reasoning. No man ,hat has
an intelligent wife, or who is accus,om-
ed TO the society of educated women,
will dispute this.
" Times without number you must
have known them decide questions on
the instant, and with unerring accuracy,
which you had been poring over for
hours, perhaps, with no other result
than to find yourself getting deeper ard
deeper into the tangled maze of doubis
and difficulties. Ii were hardly gener-
Gus to alege that they achieve these
fen,s less by reasoning than by a sort
of sagaci,y which approximates to the
sure instinct Of the animal races and
Yet there seems to be some ground TOR
the remark Of witty French writer,
that, when man has ioiled, step by
step, up flight Of stairs, he will be sure
to find woman at the top; but she will
not be apie to tell ho,D she got there.
How she got there, however, is OF
little moment. II the conclusions wo-
man has reached are sound, that is all
that concerns us. And tlnt they are
very APT to be sound OH the practical
matters OF domestic and secular lie
nothing bat prejudice or self conceit can
prevent as from acknowledging. The
inference, therefore, is unavoidable, that
the man who thinks il beneath his digni
" to take counsel with an nte.ligcnt
wife, stands in his own light, and be-
trays that lack OF judgment which he
taci,ly attributes to her,"
