The Thibetan women adopt a custom, or
rather submit to a regulation certainly unique in
the world. Before going out of their houses,
they rub their faces with sort Of black sticky
varnish, good deal like conserve Of grapes. AS
the object is to render themselves hideOus, they
daub their faces with this disgusting cosmetic,
till they scarcely resemble human creatures.-
The following was, we are told, the origin of this
monstrous practice.
About 200 years ago, the Nomekhan or Lama
king Of Anterior Thibet, was man of the aus.
terest character. At that period, the Thibetan
women were rot in the hab Of trying to make
themselves look more ugly than women of other
countries on the contrary, they were extrava-
gantly addicted to dtess andluxury. By degrees
the contagion spread even to the holy family of
the Lamas and the Buddhist converts relaxed
their discipline, in manner that threatened
complete dissolution In order to arrest the pro-
gress of this alarming libertinism, the Nomekhan
published an edict, forbidding women to appear
In public unless disdgured in the fashion above
mentioned; the severest punishments and the
heaviest displeasure of Buddha were threatened
to the refractory. 1t must have required no or
dinary courage to publish such an edict but
that the women obeyed it was still more extra
ordinary. Tradition makes no mention Of the
sightest revolt on their part The fair Thibe-
tans vie with each other in making themselves
tr1gntful, aud she who is most offensively be-
smeared passes for the most pious; the custom
appears to be considered as dogma to be &C.
cepted.

When fortune frowned on N0aoc0siqia, 'the
humming bird (the name given to Mrs Moo
die by the Indians in alusion to the pleasure she
took in painting birds,) when her purse and pam
try were alike empty, and, IN Indian phrase,
''her hearth-stone was growing cold" many an
acceptable supply of much-needed food was
brought to her by her red friends
'eTheir delicacy in conierrng these favors was
not the least admirable part of their conduct
John Nogan, who was much attached to us,
would bring fine bunch of ducks and drop
them at my feet, for the papoose (child,) Or
leave a large muskinonge on the sill of the door,
or place a quarter Of venison just within it, and
slip away without saying a word, thinking that
present from poor Indian might hurt our feel
ings and he would spare us the modification Of
returning thanks"
The GOODNESS and courage Of these Indians are
remarkable Mrs. Noodle tells story of 2
squaw who was left by her husband in charge OF
some dead galne, and who. whilst sitting care
lessly upon log, with his hunting knife IN her
hand, heard cracking amongst the branches,
and turning round, saw bear within few pa
ces of her.
SIT was too late to retreat and seeing that
the animal was very hungry, and determined to
come to close quarters, she rose, and placed her
back against small tree, holding her knife close
to her breast, and in a straight line with the
bear. The shaggy monster came on. She re-
manned motionless, her eyes steadily fixed upon
her enemy, and as his huge arms closed around
her, she slowly drove the knife into his heart
The bear uttered a hideOus cry, and sank dead
at her feet When the Indian returned, he
found the courageous woman taking the skin
from the formidable brute"

MADELINE, A TALE oE AUvERGNE; by
Julia Kavanagh, author of ''Natalie," etc.
D. Appleton & Co., publishers A simple
and captivating domestic tale, descriptive of
the customs and habits of the residents of
Auvergne, France. Madeline, the heroine
of the story, is not only a religious but a
benevolent enthusiast, and so strong are her
superior sentiments, that though stepped in
the very dregs Of poverty, she manages to
support by her labor three or four poor crea-
lures who are from age and other causes,
unable to provide for themselves. Madeline
desires in her own person to illustrate the
practical in the Christian character; and az
a novel heroine she fulhls her self-imposed
duties to admiration. The tale, if we NAV
call it such, has its moral, and most inte-
resting one it is To the reader of the seri-
ous-and even those who can relax their
grim visages occasionally to a smile-we
heartily recommend Madeline, "a Tale of

liberality Of its patrons. We cannot too
highly commend the Merchants .uagGzine
to the consideration of merchants, manu-
factures, statesmen, and others. We take
the liberty to extract the following song
from its pages, by Charles P. Shiras, on the
RAILWAY CAR.
No more we sing as they sung of old,
To the tones of the lutte and Tyre,
For 10 We live in an Iron Age
In the age of Steam and Fire
The world is too busy for dreaming,
And hath grown too wise for War;
So, to-day, for the glory OF Science,
Let US sing of the Railway Car
The golden chariots of ancient kings
Would dazzle the wondering eye,
And the heads of the million slaves might bow
As the glittering toy rolled by;
But this is the Car of the People,
And before it shall bow all kings
Be they warned when they hear the shrieking
Of the dragon with iron wings
The blood-stained Car of the Juggernaut,
O'er millions of necks have rolled, lours,
And its priests have cried, Such triumph as
The world shall never behold =
But wo when this harnessed Dragon,
Comes vomiting smoke and fire,
For the Priests, with their Car and Idols,
Shall perish beneath his ire
And wo to all who uphold the wrong
Love darkness rather than Light
For Science hath opened broad highway
For knowledge and Truth and Right.
And he sends forth his Car to gather
The people of many lands,
Until the uttermost nations
Are grasping each others hands
And thus, when the people as one are joined,
And each to his fellow is known,
Invention, and Art, and Skill shall work
At the bidding of Science alone.
And who can tell of the greatness
The world may hope for then
For the Faith that moveth mountains
Hath entered the souls Of men
Then sing no more, as they sang of old,
To the tones of the lutte and Tyre,
But sound the praise of the Iron Age
Ofthe age Of Steam and Fire.
And sing to the glory Of Science
Exult in the downfall of War
And shout for the fiery Dragon,
As he flies with the Railway Car.

HORRIBLE the morning OF Mon
day last, the coroner of Rocky Hill, Pa. was
called upon to hold an inquest on the BODY
of an infant three weeks old, named Mary Ann
Hill, which came to it's death by its mother beat
ing it's head against chair and a wall. The
skull was dreadfully fractured, and the brains
were scattered over the adj oinipg walls, the fOor
and chairs in the room. The horrible deed was
committed by the mother while in a state of in
sanity, in which condition she has been since last
December The unfortunate mother, after the
act, made an attempt upon her own life, by in
ficting cut upon her throat with razor. Two
neighboring women, who went to the house in
consequence Of the alarm made by a little son of
Mrs. Hill, in attempting to prevent the suicidal
act, very narrowly escaped serious wounds. One
of them had portion Of her thumb cut off, and
several fingers nearly severed. The jury rem
dered verdict in accordance with the above
facts.

by the same parties, stopped at a hotel in Troy

clans and chemists of Troy, are now engaged in
investigating to see if there are any traces of

confers titles of nobility 1t appoints to all con-
siderable offices; il collects and discusses the
enormous revenues Of the country; and IL the
peryading extent of all these powers be con
sidered, il might DO questioned whether the
British executive has lost anything in the last
three centuries. The form in which this power
is exercised has undergone many and great
changes, but the substance has scarcely dimin-
ished. The personal character Of the sovereign
influences the course of government less than
formerly, and the manner in which princes are
educated, gives reasonable assurance that the
liberties Of the country will not be assailed by
the aggressive ambition, or endangered by the
pre-eminent talents, of the monarch, But if a
young man, with the genius of Napoleon, or
Frederick the Great, were to ascend the British
throne, we suspect it would very soon appear
that power nearly absolute could be exerted
without violating single fundamental law of
the realm .

Red yaekel,s monument.

George CONWAY, at the close of his lecture
in Buffalo on Tuesday last called the attention
of the audience to the subject of erecting a
monument TO the remains of Red Jacket.
When he had closed, says the Express, Dr..
Wilson, noble specimen of the native Ameri-
can race, rose, and with tears starting from his
eyes, his stalwsrt. form shaking like an aspen
leaf under the contending emotions that sirug-
gled in his bosom, addressed the meeting in the
following strain Of impusive eloquence:
GENTLEMEN AND LADIEs.-I wish to detain
you moment. am one of the descendants of
Red Jacket. Ispeak for them We have been
removed from our homes by the cunning and
treactery OF the pale faces. Red Jacket, though
not prophet or a son of u prophet, predicted
that tho pale face would drive them from The
graves OF their fathers and his bones would
rest there. But let no pale face touch them.
lie forbid, in his last moments, the face to fol-
low his remains, when his spirit should leave
them to unite with the Great Spirit s, let
the white man not touch them. We, the few
broken remnants of the Senecas, will bear them
a way with US.
de wants no monument from the hands of the
white man. He would not have it, As he
forbid the pale faces TO follow him to his rest
ing place, so he would forbid them to desecrale
his bones with their touch. Let not the white
man bestow his unthankful beneyolence there.
Let not the philanthropist go there. Red
Jacket wants no monument No monument
would preserve his name. His name will not
perish, though he has no monument. He lives
lie lives In these hearts of ours, and will live
as long as one heart beats in the breast Of the
red man.
The white man has done something for him.
de has surrounded his remains with paliDg.
He has placed marble slab over them Where
is it now! Piece by piece the curious visitor
has carried away, till scarcely one is left. Should
the pale face build him a monument as high as
they propose to build to Washington at their
Capitol, IT would crumble away as that has that
those people of Buffalo have placed over him,
and no stone would be found upon another.
No. Red Jacket forbid the pale faces TO follow
him to his grave. Red Jacket would not have

After few days we will bear away In opr

done.
CONWAY then stated that he was not aw,rs or

Jacket, or Of the state of feeling existing among
the remnant Of his tribe, or he should moi have
adveted TO this subject at this time, and in this
manner.
