black-in plain language she is woman of

ness, and is of beautiful and brilliant black.
Her eyes are brown, her person tall and erect,
and her carriage faultless, and as dignifed as
that of any European. From one ear is sus-

This is the cause of frequent reports of trees

to Indicate the spots where treasure lay hidden;
and many have been the ransacking of the pi-

conspicuous part. Either he was conciIated

Icebergs and Greenlanders.

A gentleman who accompanied Lieut.. Hart
stein on his expedition in search Of DR.. Kane,
thus describes In a letter to the New York
Mirror, the appearance of icebergs :--
| tried hard to sketch an outline of some of
the icy mountains, but the snowy whiteness
of their submits, and the clear, transparent
azure of their edging and projections were be-
yond any artistic powers possess. The best
idea that can be formed of them is to imagine
a vast collection of caihedrals, churches, cas-
ties, halls and walls Of every imaginable style
of architecture, done in Parian marble, and
adorned with turquoise reliefs, all floating on
sea of green, while the hoarse dash OF the
breakers among the ciefts is music most sol
emn and sublimely accordant TO the imposing
scene.
OF the natives of Greenland he thus speaks
The natives are far better looking than ex-
pected TO find them, and many Of the half
breeds are really beautiful-their hairy seal
skin rig 20 the contrary notwithstanding.
They are well disposed, kind and hospitable,
and on their invitation, the officers Of the ex-
pediiion attended grand ball, or hocky dance,
as they term it, for which purpose the Govern
or kindly offered his house. The invites were
issued with request to bring our own refresh
ments, meaning wine and whiskey, 'dd hb:
and a fair assemblage of Esquimaux bellies,
with two or three pretty Danes among them,
having got together, the dancing commenced
to the msic of two native violnists, who PLAYED
all the polkas, redowas, and watzes of our
own fast age and city. The women polkad,
jgged and waltzed exceedingly well, and with
most unremtting arder. They are all attired
in tight-ftting seal-skin breeches, the hairy
side out, which were joined eight inches above
the knees with tastily dressed seal-skn boots,
trimmed with fur or lace-not an unbecoming
dress, by any means, assure you. Not hav-

Exploration of the River Salado.

The Washington Union publishes some ex-
tracts from letter written by Thomas J.
Page, of the American Exploring Expedition,
dated at Santa Fe, Ang. 7, in which he gives
an interesting account of an exploration of the
river Salado. This river emp,es into the Pa
rama at Santa Fe, the principal town of the
province Of the same name, which is one Of the
Argentine Confederation. The letter Of Lieu
tenant Page states that
He set sail. on the 18th of July last, in the
small steamer La Yerba, which was procured
for this purpose, and which belongs to the Par
aguav and United States Navigation Company.
By the 26lh of July he had ascendeG the river
distance Of 360 miles, and found it impussi-
BILE TO proceed further in consequence of the
point being only two and half feet deep, and
was still falling. Such is the winding charac-
ter of the river that, although he had ascended
1t the above named distance, he thinks that he
was not more than one-third of that distance,
an Alright line, from Sanie Fe.
The Salado has never heretofore, been either
ascended or descended 10 this point, ard the
praciicability of its navigation was problem
nnsolved until this exploration. Ii is the most
important river in the Argentine Confederation,
and is the natural outlet for the products of
Salta, Tncuman, Santiago, Mendoza, Cordova
and Santa Fe, but the apprehension of encoun-
tering insurmountabe obstacles, and the fear
of the Indians, have deprived the inhabitants Of
these provinces of its benefits ever since the
first settlement of the country.
The waters Of this river abonnds with fish,
swans, geese, ducks, terrapins, carpinchis, nu-
trias, and the like, and the adjacent cauniry
with deer and other animals thus affnrding to
the navigator an abundance Of provisions, if he
be supplied with the means Of securing it,
Among the specimens of birds are meniiuned
the "back-neck" swans. The water, in parts
Of the river, is too much impreenaied with salt
ITO be drank, but there are fresh water streams
emptying into it, and fresh water may be OBJ
tained by digging a short distance from the
banks.
The region of country through which The
expedition passed is represented TO be beautiful
in scenery aid well wooded. The character
of the soil is alnvial, based on argilacenus sub
stratum, and il is said that all that is wanted to
transform this wilderness Of country into a gar
den is the hand Of civilized man. The gov
eminent, aware that the resources Of this pro-
ductive Country can be developed only bv the
introduction Of foreign population, holds out
to Immigrants the most liberal Inducements
Lieutenant Page adds IL Shall proceed
from here to the head or upper waters Of the
Pilcomayo, with the hope Of descending that
river. Its exploration has been attempted by
others, but has never been accomplished. If it
be navigable, knowledge of this fact would be
of deep interest to geographical science, and Of
infinite importance not only 10 Bolivia, but also
10 the Argentine Confederation.

A Lady who was present at the Battle Of
Saratoga,

Mrs. Margaret Martin, who is at present
stopping at the residence of her grandson, in
this city, is 90 years of age. She is one of
the few remarkable women of the Revolution,
who took part in the memorable occurrence of
the struggle for American independence.
Her husband, Gilbert Martin, was sergeant
in the army of Gates, and was engaged in the
battle of Saratoga. Mrs. Martin, then a very
young woman, was on the field during both
struggles constituting this battle, and terminai-
ing in the defeat of the splendid army which
Burgoyne had transported with such immense
labor and expense from Canada, confidently
anticipating that he would be able with it to
divide the army Of the patriots, and secure Sir
Henry Clinton in the possession of the south
ern line of defences
Mrs. Martin represents the struggle as most
terrific. She says that towards evening, when
Burgoyne, maddened by the consciousness
that all his splendid schemes were about TO be
defeated, directed his whole reserve and cav
airy force upon the feeble army of the patri-
OTIS, the contestants stood within half musket
range of each other, and poured in their dead
ly voleys, while whole files on either side fell
in their tracks. and still neither gave one inch.
Towards evening, Mr.. Martin was wounded
in the shoulder, and while his wife was in the
act of afixing bandage, she herself was
wounded in the hand.
Gilbert sprang up like a chafed lion. Peg
gy,' said he, Il will go and teach those cow
ardly dogs better manners than to shoot at a
woman, and saw him no more till the fight
was over.
OF such material were the men and women
of the Revolution.
We can readily imagine that the field Of
Saratoga was strange place for those of the
softer SEX Mrs. Martin, however, has evil
IDENTIFY been a woman of uncommon energy Of
character. Her frame still exhibits evidences
of strength, and her eye sparkles as she re-
counts the deeds of that glorious day, or speaks
of that coward Gates, who staid safe and
sound all day in his tent, and cared not for the
men who were falling like sheaves for>the har-
vest.'

the revolution are fading away.-Troy Wing.

The True Woman.

The true woman, for whose ambition hus-
bands love and her children's alteration are
sufficient, who applies her military instinct 10
the discipline OF her household, and whose
legislative faculties exercise themselves in
making laws tor her nursery whose intellect
has field enough for her in communioa with
her husband, and whose heart asks no other
honor than his love and admiration woman
who does not think it weakness TO attend to
her toilet, and does not disdain to be beauti-
ful ; who believes in the virtue of glossy hair,
and well-fitting gowns, and eschews rents and
ravelled edges, slip-sAod shoes, audacious
make-ups, woman who speaks low and does
not speak much who is patient and gentle,
intellectual and industrious who loves more
than she reasons, and vet does not love blind
ly who does never scold, and rarely argues,
but who adjusts with a smile ; a woman who
is the wife we have all dreamed of once in our
lives, and is the mother we still worship in
the backward distance of the past ; such a
woman as this does more for human nature
and more for woman's cause, than all the cap
tains, barristers, judges and members Of Par
lament put ogether-God-given and God
blessed as she is.-Dickens.

A BLUNT PREAcHER.-Here, for instance,
is an anecdote of old Peter Cartwright, noted
Methodist preacher, which illustrates his wes-

While he was preaching, some years ago,
General jackson entered the church, when
pastor, seated in the pulpit, gave his brother
Cartwright nudge, and whispered that the
cd hero had just come in, as much as to ad-
wise, "Now be particular in what you say"
But Peter, to the establishment of every one,
louder than ever, exclaimed, "Who cares for
General Jackson! He'll 60 to hell as soon as
anybody, if he doesn't repent" When the
ssrmon-a homemade one-was ended, a
friend asked the General what he thought of
that rough old fellow, and received for an an
