Another Indian Massacre.

OF late we have been so often called on
to tell of acts of savage cruelty and blood
shed that il has indeed become most
hateful task. We had hoped that the
Forester tragedy would not again be en-
acted in our midst. But we have now To
repeat the story of boodshed and barbara
ty, and from prospects there may yet be
many repetition. On last Sunday eve
ming Mr.. ST. Williams, living on The Me-
dina, about fourteen miles from this city,
was cruelty bulchered by a party OF SIX
Indians. 1t seems he had gone from has
house for water, and soon alter hIs vile
hearing him shout for assistance, ran To
the spot and found that the cruel work
had been dOne-her husband was killed.
The Indians then came TO the house,
robbed il Of lis contents, and carried off
their three children. They left the
house a short distance, and sat down TO
enjoy feast served up with the most
shocking crueIty.-Mrs. Williams follow
ed them and by eDtrealy. succeeded in
getting from them her two Youngest
children. The DINER lilue glrI, they
would not give up but carried off with
them, and * stiIl a captive among llIen.
They also drove off the horses 0f Mr..
Williams. MIS-. Williams started of for
a neighbours hnuse almost frantic with
grief, scarcely knowing where or TOR
what she was going. After wandering
about, lost and bewlIdered, for the whole
ur Sunday nlgh, about daylight she came
up to the house of Mr.. Carnlhers
Several ciiIzens of the neighborhond
started off Immediately IN pursuit. We
have n0i yet heard whether or not u -
likely that HE Indians would be ovpria-
ken; but would rather think that they will
make their escape.
The news reached our city about noon
on Monday. when company Of al out
fifteen or twenty regulars unjIrt the eonr-
mand Of Captain Calhoun. was sent uul
iD spread havoc and destruction" among
he whole Indian race. We shall exptrl
very soon To hear 81 dreadful siaugh-
ter of ihe red .skmsI Indeed we may al
most look for complete determination

Doesticks in Rhode Island.

SCOT tired Of New York, although it is
town of considerable consequence.
Wanted 10 see The world; so started for
the seven-by-nine State of Rhode Island,
where they shingle the houses all over,
outside and in, and put the windows in
the roof;where theymake their rail fences
out of cobble stones; where the ducks
roost on the fences. and hatch their young
ones in the tops of cherry trees; where
the men look so much alike, their wives
often kiss the wrong individual. Dam
phool says It's way women have the
world uyer.) Went 10 the city Of ProvI-
dence, where all the men make jewelry,
and al! the women believe in spirit rap
pings; where they've got a bridge wider
than lis long, and Macadamlzed on both
sides; where all the plaster busts of great
men have grey wigs OIL; where they light
the gas in the middle of the afternoon;
where they drive horses under tandem;
where the apples grow as big as wash
tubs, and the oysters obtain the enormous
size Of three cent pieces. Went into the
woods after chesnuts; couldn't find any,
but discovered magnificent tree in the
distance-rejoiced exceedingly thereat-
started for It-three quarters of mile
away; went ahead over stones, bitches,
fences, snakes, bIiars and stone walls,
until | reached it, and found ii was an
elm, no chesnuts on it-got very mad;
walk eG around the State connie of times
and took the first train for home.

Hints TO Ladies.

Rose red cannot be put in contact with
the roseSt compilations without causing
them to lose some of their freshness
Dark red is less Objectionable for certain
compilations than rose red, because being
higher than this latter, il tends 10 impart
whlleness to them in consequence Of con-
lraSt of tone.
Green Drapery-A delicate green is, on
the contrary, favorable 10 all fair complex
ions, which are deficient in rose, and
which may have more impaired to it with
out Inconvenience; but ii is not SO favora-
to compilations that are more red than re-
sy, nor to those that have tint of orange
mixed with brown, because the red they
add TO this tint will be of brick red hue.
In the latter case dark green will be less
Objectionable than delicate green.
Yellow Drapery--Y elbow imparts vio-
let to fair skin, and in this view it is
less favorable than delicate green. To
those skins which are more yellow than
orange it imparts white; but this combina-
ton is very dull and heavy for fair COM
plexion. When the SKIN is tinted more
with orange than yellow, we can make it
roseate by neutralIzing the yellow; it pro-
duces this effect upon the bIack-halred
type, and it is thus that it suits brunettes.
Violet Draperies--Violet, the compli.
menlary Of yellow, produces contrary el-
lecis; thus, it imparls some greenlsh yell
low to fair complications; it augments the
yellow tint of yellow and orange skins
The little blue there may be in a complex
ion il makes green. Violet, then, is one
of the least favorable colorS TO the skin, at
least when it is not sufficiently deep to
whiten it by contrast Of tone.
Blue Drapery--B imparts orange,
which is susceptible Of aIIyinG itself IA
vorablv TO white, and the light flesh unts
of fair compilations, which have already a
more or less determined tint Of :hls color.
Blue is, then, suitable to most blondes, ,and
in this case, justlies lis reputation. Ii
will not suit brunettes, since they have al
ready too much of orange.
Orange Drapery--Orange is too bril-.
liant to be elegant; 1t makes ialr complex
ions blue, whltens those who have an or
ange TINT and gives green hue TO those
of yellow tint
White Drapery--Drapery Of lustre-
less white, such as cambric muslin assorts
well with fresh complexion, of which it
relieves the rose color; but it is unsuitable
to compilations which may have a disa-
greeabIe tint, because white always eXals
all colors by raising their tone conse-
quenuy it is unsuitable TO those skins
which, without having This djsagreeabIe
tint, very nearly approach it. Very light
white drapeues, such as muslin, plated
point lace have an entirely different as
pect
Black Drapery--BIack draperics, low
ing the tone Of the colors with which they
are in juXtaposition, whiten the skin; but
if the vermilion or rosy parts are to a
certain point distant from the drapery, it
will follow that, although lowered in tone,
they appear reIaGveIy Iy to the white parts
Of the skin contiguous TO this same dra-
perry, redder than if the contiguity 10 the
black did not exist.
