DR.. Kane, in one of his lectures in Philadel-
phia, gave the following account of the human
beings who inhabit the polar region adjoining
Baffns Bay:
THE race Of people who inhabit the country
adjoining Baffns Bay and its tributaries are so
little known that anything in relation to them Is
caught up with ayidity. This arrival furnishes
us with sight of some of their distinctive char
acteristics, in dress and otherwise The dress of
q married lady is composed of pair of short
seal-skin pants for outsides, extending nearly to
the knee-joint, where it meets with the legs of
the boots, made of the same material, or of deer
skin. The upper part Of the person is covered
with a Jumper, or kind of sack, with hood
for the head, and sleeves, made whole, with the
exception of place for the head and arms. This
also is made of seal-skin, or deer-skin, and in the
warm weather is covered with fancy-colored
cotton cloth sack. In the coolest and wet weather,
the cloth sack is removed, and seal-skin cover
ing without fur placed in its stead. The dress
of an unmarried lady is distinguished by broad
band made of fancy-fgured webbing, about two
and half inches wide, sewed on each side of the
front of their pants, extending nearly the whole
length of them.
"a married woman can also be distinguished
from an unmarried one by the hair, which in both
cases is tied on the top Of the head and the ends
of that Of the married colored blue, and Of the
unmarried red. This enables gallant to act the
amiable without danger of making advances to
some one already married, and getting a stray
shot from an injured husband
"The boots are made very neatly, slender and
we'll proportioned. The deer-skins are dressed
in beautiful manner, simply by drying and
rubbing on a smooth stone. A pair OF slippers
completes the wardrobe Of lady in the Esqui-
maux country; these are made Of deer skin,
and neatly fringed around the tops with white
rabbits fur. The clothing which was shown us
was made in very tasty and strong manner,
every thread used being made Of the sinews of
the deer, and of course very durable. The dresses
of the males are very similar to that of the mar
ried ladies' with the exception that they are
longer and rather heavier. The Danes are scat
tered around among the Esqnimaux, and furnish
them with what foreign articles they may want,
which are limited to steels for their spears, and
some for ornaments for their dresses, and color
| ing for their hair and ladies' boots. The seal
| seems to furnish them with almost everything
| they seem to require-food, clothing, and even
| fuel

Bsy~ KossUTH has not succeeded in the West
as well as was anticipated; and, failing there, We
presume it may now safely be said that his
efforts to get up an " Intervention feeling in this
country have entirely fallen through, and that
the material aid" furnished does not at all equal
the amount expected. The disappointment of
the great Hungarian begins to manifest itself in
words and actions. He will, probably, leave our
shores "a WISER" if not 50. sadder'' man, than
when he first landed on them. But the lesson
will be salutary. Nor will it be taught to him
alone. All Europe will see and know, that not
only our government but our people, while they
deeply sympathize with every struggle made in
the old world for free government, cannot, on
that account, be induced "to leave their own TO
stand on foreign ground" The United States
have ga destiny" to fulfil, too; and that is, we
hope, by strict adherence to the principles and
precepts of Washington, to set such an example
will induce, peaceably, oil other nations to
appreciate and enjoy the blessings of the institu
tions which we have here founded, and which our
first duty is to defend and preserve.-Alez. Gar.

Homestead Exemption in Tsnnsssee.

We are gratifed to learn that the State of
Tennessee, with an eye to its permanent welfare,
and the prosperity and happiness of its people,
has, by both branches of its Legislature, passed
well-guarded homestead exemption bill. 1t is
said that it requires the person intending to
profit by it to file his intentions to this effect be-
fore the issuance Of execution. This is just.
Such law should permit no deception to be
practised. He who intends to retain possession
of his home should frankly avow his purpose to
the world, that he may not receive credit from
the belief that he will not claim the right to do
so. Let the law be well guarded, but let it be
the law of our entire land
