COURAGE OF LAPLAND GIRL.-The skill ac-
quired by the nomade people of Lapland, in
throwing the lasso avails them, at times, in maxi
ing captves of other animals besides their own
deer. "On one OCCASION" so said a clergyman
whom Mr.. Loloyd met with in Norrland, and
who vouched for the truth Of the story, when
Lapp, in company with young female, was
driving the herd through the forest, they acci-
dentally reused a large bear from his winter
quarters. The girl very fortunately, had the
lasso in her hand, which, with great GOODNESS and
skill, she threw over his head, as he was slowly
quitting his den, and at the same instant coiled
the other end of the thong around a tree. The
brute, on finding himself thus in the foils, dash
ed at the Amazon, but, as she slipped on one
side, he fortunately missed his aim, and on CON-
ing to the length of his tether, was, in sailors
language, brought short up and thrown to the
ground. Bruins career was now at an end, for,
seizing the thong with his paws, and by so do
ing tightening the moose, he managed to stran-
gle himself The Lapp, on seeing the beast
charge the girl, took fright and ran away /; and,
as a consequence, the bold wench, who was to
have been married to him, sent him at once to
the right about, very properly refusing to have
anything more to say to so dastardly fellow y

A PORTRAIT OF SIR CHARLES NApIER.-A
farmer-looking man with fat face, thick lips,
and tremendous nose covered with snuff !;
large ears like the flaps of saddle, and like
/" Uncle Ned" in lyric history, with no wool to
speak of on the top of his head, although his
chronological Developments displayed nm exten-
sive surface where the wool ought to grow the
head placed on the body of stunted alderman,
whose clothes appear to have been pitchforked
on his back, with one shirt collar up and the 9TH
er down, his waistcoat buttoned awry, and his
shirt front smeared with snuff-and you have
the portrait of Sir Charles Napier. If there is
thirst for further or more minute particulars,
it may be added that the Admiral wears Bluch-
er boots, and takes snuff with three fingers.
AT trial for murder in Waukesha, WIS.,, a
witness on the stand, giving his testimony as
to when and where his line of boats run, and at
what times, between Chicago, Milwaukee,

what time the boat left for Sheyboygan; when
the Judge asked the juryman his object of as
king the question. He replied that he wanted
to go to Sheyboygan in a few days, and thought
it a good opportunity to find out There was
a" model juror" for you!

try it, Charles; you wouldn't get it, assure

you. fng tts
AS to your making an effort, that's all non-
sense. Everybody that ever read of, except
Mrs. Dombey, made an effort; and if my grand
father were to die and leave me thousand dol
lars you might with equal proprety inform me
that you made an effort for that venerable per-
sons decease, and claim FIVE or ten per cent"
Of that amount of property, as to humbug me
with your making efforts to influence Congress,
who, as ! said before, soemny believe inde-
pendent of all the notary publics in all WASH
ington.
From these two considerations, l conclude
that you have no claim or shadow of a claim on
me, but that your proposal is merely request
for charity, to the amount of five or ten per
cent" on the small sum that you, living in
Washington, and watching the signs Of time,
begin to believe Congress is going to allow me.
This charity shall decline bestowing, for three
good and sufficient reasons: aaf aH
lst. Lam very poor myself .. f....
I'd. have family to support on $50 SO
per month, which isn't such tremendous in
come in a country where flour is thirty dollars
per barrel. ...,..
Sd. I'll see you - first; giving you full
permission to fill the blank with any kind of as
piration for your future welfare and happiness
that may occur to you, and that you may deem
appropriate.
Farewell, Charles; remember me kindly to
" a number Of officers stationed in Texas" when
you write. Invest properly and judiciously the
:" five or ten per cent you get from them-in
your future efforts forget me, and remember to
BE virtuous and you will be happy"
Adieu-Yours respectively,

u The Susquehanna rose very rapidly
on Saturday night and Sunday last, owing
to the melting Of the great quantity OF snow
which had so lately fallen. Fears were
entertained that much damage would re-
suit, but the waters ceased rising on Mon

The new wharves OF the Railroad Com

finished and exposed situation, aud very
unfit to meet such freshet, bore the force
Of the waters admirably.

A LoCISIANIAN IN THE RUSSIAN SERVICE
The Paris correspondent Of the N. York Tri-
bune, writes as follows of gentleman we'll
known to many of our citizens, and who for
merly represented the Parish of Ascension in
the State Legislature:
''Dr. Cottman. of Louisiana, gentleman
who left this city. two moths ago. to join the
Russian army. has, it seems by late advices
which | have just received from ST.. Peters
burg. been placed high in power by the En-
peror. He has received surgical rank in
the army which gives him the title and posi-
ton of military counsellor to the Emperor,
and on the occas on of late review, | am
assured that he rode at his Majesty's side.
DR.. Cottman is about forty-fve years of age
he is rich, speaks French fuently, and is a
warm partisan of Russia in her present con-
test. His promotion is no doubt due in part
to the latter circumstance. His family, which
consists of daughter only, awaited his re-
turn in Paris"

CURIOUS DIscovERY-In the great Pyra-
mid OF Egypt is a small opening at the top,
the depth Of which has never been sounded.
Another aperture Of the same size exists at
the foot of the Pyramid. 1t was long con-
iectured that these two openings communica-
ted with each other. but no means could be
devised to establish the fact. till the problem
was solved recently by the ingenuity of an
Arab. He took cat and her kittens, placed
the old cat in one aperture and the kittens
in the other, and stopped up both with stones.
The next day he opened them. and found cat
and kittens all together at the foot of the
long passage.
