INDIAN MUNNIEs.-George O. Bates
writes to the Detroit Advertiser that the
great mystery among the Savans Of the
world-to wit: by whatever process OF
art or skill in science the mummies found
in the pyramids of Egypt have been pre-
served, and in which modern skill has
exhausted all its resources in fruitless
efforts to analyae, is known on the shores
Of the Pacific, among the wandering
races of the Chinooks and the Flat.
heads. These rude savages understand
and practice this art with as much sue
cess as attended the efforts of the an
cient Egyptians. Mr.. Bates says:
:. At the famous depository for the farm
ers of California, on Montgomery street,
are two specimens which are well oalcu-
lated to arouse the attention of the re.
flecting, and to show how mtimating,
after all, are the relations Of the past
and the fnture. The former of these is

THE poEAPiRrs FAMILY
oorfeep'ndeoos Of the Evening Star ]

BALgixoRB, March 81.
IN my last stated that nv townsman
Prince Jerome Bonaparts, designed short
ly visiting Europe, with . view of ar.
ranging bus future permanent residence
IN Parls. Of this there is no doubt, and
ne will set sail probably in . very short
time.
A letter has BEEN received here from
his son, Lieutenant Jerome, attached to
the French cavalry 1t Sebastopol, in
which ne isrepressnted as in good health
and spirits, and much delighted with the
adventures of the campaign. If no ad.
verse circumstances happen, this young
branch of the imperial stock has before
him bright and glorious career. The
throne of France may yet be at his COM
mand.
1t would seem from present indica-
tions that there is a strong, and may
add, laudable desire, upon the part OF
Emperor Bonaparte to gather the entire
family together upon that soil to which,
and to whose inhabitants, the renowned
name is so sacred. When Jerome and
his family shall have departed from our
shores, there will be but one of them lef.
in the United States, and that one Madame
Bonaparte, wife of ex-king jerome. She
IS still resident of our city, and in eyery
step queen. Would it not be we'll for
the present Emperor, while he is invit-
ing those of his name and kindred 10
make their home in France, to include
the Madame, mother of Jerome senior !?
She is lady of superb accomplishments,
exquisite manners, great dignity of cha
racter, and would shine as q brilliant
star at the Imperial court. Her heart is
filled with the love of France, and the
name of Bonaparts is her greatest pride.
Such an acquisition to the royal family
would assuredly do it honor. R.

. There is probably no class of people
writes q friend, more courteous to eacll
other than ship captains more especially
do they illustrate the good feeling OF
their saltwater natures, when meeting 9
brother chip and ship in distress. Not
long since, . captain of q whaler had the
misfortune to lose his ship and all his
personal effects ; but escaping with life,
took up his residence on an island of the
Pacific, occasionally visited by whalers,
and at last had the inexpressible ioy OF
discovering q sail in sight, which gave
him some hope of renewing his inex-
pressibles, (which had become fit habili-
ments for cook, being "cool and airy"
and of leaving his lonely abode. In due
time the ship was ready to sail, and Of
course the shipwrecked captain had be
come the guest of its commander. But
being impressed with the humble posi-
tion be then filled, he kept himself very
retired, and invariably took the lee side
OF the quarter deck, where he stumped
up and down with an uncertain and spas
modic gait-occasioned by one leg being
an inch or two shorter than the othe,-
maintaining digni6sd silence. For two
days, the rough old whaler stood this
reserve of his passenger; but his pa.
tieacs becoming exhausted he at last ad-
dressed him as follows:
"Oap'en Brown, you have been ship
wrecked, haven't ye z"
"Yesn'
You've lost yer ship, haint ye Z"
A mournful wave of the hand signiHed
the fact.
You haint got no money, neither,

Cap'en Brown; they are all at your sar-
vice. knows my duty to feller sailor
as is unfortunate and in Distress"
Captain Brown halted in promenade.
turned towards his host, aei after SUM-
dry mysterious gesticulations, indicating
the utmost appreciation of bis humble
position, replied:
"Captin Skinner, understands you.
But knows my position. 'Tis true
haint got no ship-she's 'wracked, and
I've lost my 'yoyge'-I doesn't desarvs
but little or nuthin at your hands. and

and these Of the most eommoaesi kind"
"Dut, Cap'en Brown, my ehist' and
my pus il at your sarvioe."
"Ro, Captin Skinner, don't desarve
'em; and all 1 asks, Captin Skinner, is
civilities, Captin Skinner-cieilities of
the most commonsst kind"
And for the whole of that long voyage
homeward did Oap'en Brown adhere to
his resolution, to receive nothing but civ
iities, and those of the most commonsst
kind. d.-KntekeybOcksr.
