DEATH AT THE ToILET.-The Baroness de
heddng, quondam governess of the Princess Ma
thide, died very suddenly lately, just before the
occasion OF the great fancy ball that was to be
given by the Princess. She was to take the char

signed by of the first artists of the capital The
dress was finished and returned to her she tried it
on, observed some faults, took out her pen to note
them down, and in the act died.
Your work is not complete" wrote she to her
matchmaker; "much is wanting still ; the de-
slgner will be annoyed if present myself before
him with any fault in the execution Of his idea''
The pen had dropped from her hand she laid her
head quietly down on the perfumed cushion which
decked her toilet table, and thus expired the spark

person, and her lips murmurng some incoh erent
words relating to the subject which occupied her
mind at the moment

EGYPT AN EPIc.-There is no record of any
thing like yrican poetry in the history of the elder
Egyptians. Their theology was the sombre sub
stance of their life. This fact Of history the How

Nature is only epical here She has no little
lyrics OF green groves, and blooming woods, and
sequestered lanes-no lonely pastoral landscape
But from every point the Egyptian could behold
the desert heights, and the river, and the sky
This grand and solemn Nature has imposed upon
the of the l.nd- th ]. Of its b~ise,
beauty. Out of the landscape, too, springs the
mystery of Egyptian character and the character
OF its art For silence is the spirit of these sand
mountains, and Of this sublime sweep of luminous

LUsus NATURE.-Whoever can account for the
following phenomenon, must have partaken of
some :" Tree of knowledge" that it has not been
our good fortune to meet with. A very curious
pear tree is to be in the garden of Mr. Green OF
Gowanus, within block two of the entrance
to Greenwood Cemetery Half the tree is at pre-
sent in full blossom, and the other half merely in
leaf, every alternate year, each side blossoms and
bears fruit The bearing side this year will yield
an abundant crop of sweet fruit. The side tina,
does not blossom this year, will blossom and yield
crop of fruit the next year, aud so on every
alternate year. This has been the case since the
tree first welded fruit. BROOKLYN Star.

INDIAN TRoUBLEs.-The st. Paul minnesota
Pioneer, of May ID, contains the following particu-
lars in regard to an incipient war between the
Sioux and Chippewa Indians
The quarrel commenced about the middle OF
April, upo disputed hunting grounds, between a
party OF Sioux hunters and party of Chippewa
hunters. The hunting ground in question, is
ground which the Chippewas claim to own BY con
quest from the Sioux; but which the Sioux seem
determined not to relinquish. Early in April, upon
this disputed ground the Sioux fred upon and
killed Chippewa half breed Soon after, one of a
party of Chippewa hunters, of the PIager band
having spied out a lodge containing five Sioux,
returned to his three companions who went BY his
guidance to the Sioux lodge, in the night and who
surrounded the lodge and fred upon its in mates who
were asleep in their blankets, killing two men and
one child at the hrst discharge, when the lodge fell
down, and the Chlppewas continued to fire through
the skins OF which it made, wherever they
could perceive any motion. One of the Sioux
squaws crept out from under the LODGE and tried to
crawl off. Two Chippewas followed her up, and
discharged their rifles at her; but discovering that
she was only squaw, one OF them magnanmously
stepped forward, and knocked her brains out with
the breech OF his rifle. They took prisoner a little
child but finding him too troublesome, one of them
took the little fellow by the heels and dashed out
his brains against a tree.
Governor Ramsey has written to the Chippewa
agent, Mr.. Watrous, requesting him to demand of
the Chippewa chiefs, the surrender Of these muir
derers; but it is not probable they will be given
up. In the meantime, the various bands of Sioux,
hearing of these atrocities, are stirred up with fell
purposes OF vengeance. A few days since, a band
OF 100 Warpeton Sioux warriors, armed and
painted took the war PATH and by the last accounts
were directing their march against the Chippewas
at Mile Lac. About the same time, another
small war party Of Sioux from another band left,
and it is believed, gone attack the Chippewa
who live near the river St. Croix. What further
barbarities may result from these movements we
are fearful of conjecturing. The absence of the
Governor at this time, who is superintendent of
Indian affairs and has great influence with all the
tribes, is to be much regretted and we are glad to
hear that his return from Washington is now soon
expected

THE TRADE IN EPIpEMIcs, season for push.
ing this trade vigorously is now at hand, and the
dealers in ought TO be closely watched for to do
the clean thing, is not as DR.. O'TooIe would say,
part of their system" All the cities, large and
small, of the Southwest, suffer by their contra
band operations every year; and it is the interest
of all good citizens to overhaul them and lay them
up for penalties, damages and forfeiture of charac
ter generally. Baton Rouge has become infested
by them, and while the people can hear of nothing
but the epidemic its awful aft ictions its sudden
deaths, the fears of their neghbors to venture out
to purchase household commodities, to send their
children to school, etc., etc., they cannot get a
glimpse of the smuggler who has brought the ca
amity among them. The Gazette is indignant at
this introduction Of the epidemic trade there, be-
cause the city was never more healthy. Your en-.
ldemc dispenser il se foathsoms of all foul
creations, but the game of exposing him is scarcely
worth the candle. All the sensible people are
aware that floating fumor of the existence of
malignant epidemic, in place of any importance
now is worth nothing. Even those who show their
own ignorance by boasting of their want of faith
in the statements of respectable journals as to the
health of cty might, if they had sense or discre-
ton enough, know that respectable citizens of a
place within the influence of an epidemic will
always keep their friends at a distance, who are
anxious for their welfare, advised by telegraph Of
their own condition, that of their friends and neigh
bors, the temper of the epidemic, its rise and fall
its progress, decline and decay.

In MIss1ssIPPI.-The Vicksburg Wing of the
9Th says:
"The weather is very warm and dry, and the
| crops in this county are suffering very much for
want of rain not having had any, with the excep-
ton Of slight showers, for months past. Cotton is
all clean and in fine order for growing when it re-
ceives good shower-corn is very much injured
by the drought, and much of it past recovery. We
learn that Kinds county has had some showers
during the past week, which will benefit the crops
very much. One great difficulty experienced in
this county is the want of rain sufficient to set out
sweet potatoes If we should lose this CROP it
will be seriously felt"
In LouIsIANA.-The St. Francisville Chronicle
of the 7th is equally anxious for rain:
Since our last we have had no rain, or at least
not sufficient to lay the dust. 1t continues excess
siyey warm and dry, and dusty. The corn crop is
suffering greatly for rain, and but little will be made
unless we get shower in short time. The cotton
has not suffered so much. The dry weather has
kept the cane from succoring, thereby injuring the
prospect somewhat"

been rusticatng under hot sun, visiting and eulo-
giving Harrisonbug, the metropolis of the State Of

But oh, the corn the corn We saw broad
