: T A novel and imposing cere-
mony took place a few days ago. at
Congress Hail. Albany, NY. Two
chiefs Of the Cayugas, Two, chiefs of
the Onondagas, and two warriors OF
that tribe. an aged chief OF the
oneidas and bis colleague, with two
warriors and two interpreters, sud-
denly ushered themselves into the
presence Of the Hon., Alvah Hunt,
and signifed their desire to perform
a ceremony, by bestowing on him
name, as indicative Of gratitude for
highly appreciated services rendered
to them while in the discharge oil
his official duties. A chief Of the
Cayugas commenced the ceremony
by an address, explaining the object
Of their interview. Or. Wilson, a
Cayugan, then rose and spoke with
all the eloquence of an Indian,
united with all the grace that civili-
zation could add. He spoke Of the
Iroquois who had been the once sole
owners Of the State Of New York,
but who had been driven in a strug-
gle of might against right, and con-
cluded by saying that they we're now
poor, that Mr.. Hurt had been kind
to them, and that they had met to
besiow upon him a name in token Of
respect and gratitude. An Onon-
daga chief then rose and performed
the ceremony of initiating and
naming the Hon. Alvah Hunt, adop-
ting him into the White Heron To
tenn. The chiel took Mr.. Hunt by
the arm and led him round the circle,
all the chiefs and warriors joining in
a low chaunt. swelling gradually
into a loud, wild chorus. After The
song was completed, Mr.. Hunt was
conducted 10 his seat and honored
with his new name-Wan nis-he-yo
which means the "Beautiful day."
They called him this because he had
dispelled, by his kindly aid, the dark
cloud which hung over them, and
enabled them TO look on a brighter
day. The ceremony concluded with |
his thanks for the honor they had |
conferred upon him.

DUEL PREvENTED.-The antici.

tween Hon. ID. w. Adams, OF Miss,
and D. Walker, editor Of the Vicks-
burg Sentinel, has been adjusted by
the inierposition Of the friends Of
both the parties. This circumstance
calls to mind the fact that since the
establishment of the Nicksburg Sem
tinel, its editors have all been en-
gagged, and some Of Them killed in
duels. There appears TO be a singu-

NoBLENEN.
By C. d. STUART.

The nobIest men IFnow on Earth,
Are men whose hands are brown with toi
Who backed by no ancestral graves.
Hew down the woods and till the soil,
And win thereby prouder fame
Than follow king or warriors name.
The workingmen! whate'er the task,
To carve the stone or bear the bod
They wearupon their honest brows
The royal stamp and seal of Cod
And brighter are their drops of sweat
Than diamonds in coronet!
God bless fhe noble workingmen,
Who rear the cities of The plain;
Who dig the mines and build the ships,
And drive the commerce Of the main;
God bless them for their swarthy hands
Have wrought the glory of all lands.

Consumption Curnble.

A book entitled "lnformation re-
specting the Practice OF F. III.
Ramadge, M. D., by ]. M. Howe, M.
D., has just been published in New
York. In reviewing it, the Evening
Post says:
"Dr. Howe has been himself a
sufferer from this relentless disease.
On bis way TO the South ol Europe
in search OF relief, he became so i'll
in Paris that he determined TO turn
home while he had strength to do so.
In London he was induced to con-
suit DIR. Ramadge, senior physician
to the infrmarv for asthma, con-
sumption, &c, who effected his cure
in the course of two or three
months. The principal remedy was
the use of a tube. through which the
patient breathed for the purpose of
expanding. arising, and exercising
the mugs. The construction OF the
tube is adapted to this purpose. The
air is drawn in gradually through a
large aperture, and then, when in
the lungs, small valve closes, and
leaves a smaller opening, through
which the air passes out; thus leav.
ing the air in the lungs for a longer
period of time than it would remain
without the tube, causing ultimately
a permanent enlargement of the
lungs and chest, and great invigora-
tion of the system.
Whenever a person is tending 10
consumption, there is growing con-
traction OF the chest, and the lungs
being only partially inflated, the
blood loses a great portion Of the
benefit which nature intended should
be derived from full and perfect re,
spiration. Now, whether the tube
be the best means of counteracting
this contraction, we do not pretend
to say, never having seen one-but
the principle on which it is based is
entirely correct. Large chested
men seldom die OF consumption, and
the size of this cavity can be in
creased by use, like any other part
OF the body. The consulting physi-
clans OF life insurance companies,
who, in the examination oil appli-
cants for policies, are obliged to in.
fate their lungs TO the utmost exten-
sion, twenty times a day, in order
10 show the person under examina-
ton how the thing is TO be done,
have noticed a remarkable increase
in the size Of their own chests, and
a corresponding Improvement in
general health. The same expan>
sion results from violent exercise =
hence its advantage. But as violent
exercise is impossible to the con-
sumptive patient, the tube is offered
as producing much the same effect.
Medicines are now only used in this
disease to soothe the sufferer; a jour-
ney to warm climates is considered,
by the best medical men, as forlorn
hope. Fresh air, generous diet, and
gentle exercise, are the only RENE
dies. We can see no possible harm
in using the tube, and many reasons
why ii should prove advantageous

Curious FoRMATIoNs.-ln making
some excavations on the sixteenth
section of the Pacific Railroad, a day
or two since, the workmen came
upon some flint nodules OF a curious
shape. They are rounded much like
melon, and may easily be supposed
to be petrilaction of that fruit. A
specimen having been broken with a
tolerable smooth cleavage, disclosed
series of what appeared TO be
rings, and in the centre the appear
ance Of some ore looking like silver
ore. From one Of them in its natu-
raj state a portion of what might be
mistaken for an outer coat, had been
removed, much as il the stone had
once been melon and been petrifed
after parto its rind had been pealeJ
away. The surfaces OF these nodules
exhibited numerous perfect impress
sions made by the leaves of plants,
so distinctly and so delicately traced
as to produce a very beautiful effect.
The specimens brought in we're
found in ledge Of limestone, which
abounds in stones Of a similar kind.

THE ENGLISH IN INDIA.

The principle subject just now before
the British public is the application Of
the East India Company for new char
ter. Not qeite generation ago the pre-
sent charter was bestowed, to expire in
April, 1854, and under it all the old
commercial privileges of the Company
were withdrawn. The question now is,
not whether those privileges shall be
granted again, but whether the Indian
empire, which was left to it, shall not
also be taken away. A very few words
will put the whole case before our read
ers.
The British East India Company is as
old as the reign of Queen Elizabeth. =
But it was not until the time of James
the First that it began to prosecute its
trade with any vigor. Even after it had
become extensively engaged in commerce
more than a century elapsed before it
became territorially aggressive. 1t was
not, irdeed, until 1857 that the career Of
conquest began, which, continued almost
uninterruptedly since, has led to the ac-

tory now held by the Company. A hun

crime-which blackens the British rule
in HindoStan. Nearly one half the rev.
enues are derived from the tax levied on
opium. This opium, as is well known,
is sold in China, and the revenue it yields
was the secret of the infamous Chinese
opium war. Elliott, the English Com
missioner, wrote, it is admitted that En-,
gland must either give up India, or force
the opium trade on China at the cannon's
mouth; for without that trade, he said,
no market could be found for the opium
raised in Hindostan; and without the
tax on opium, the Indian treasury would
be bankrupt. The more the British rule
in India is studied, the more hateful it
scems--every new aspect Of the subject
presenting some fresh enormity against
man and God.
The British parliament may partially
remedy the wrong Britain has done to
India by taking the government out OF
the Company's hands and conducting It
directly themselves, But even this will
only alleviate, not cxtirpate the evil; and
the alienation, moreover. will be COM
parativcly slight. AS long as India is
ruled as Il conquered country, her wrongs
will substantially be iusradcable. Yet

British, she will be treated as subject
