and skill, are, so to speak, know-Noth-
/ ings-which ue greatly grieye to say.
We repeat-hoping there are many of
our readers who viii remember and inn
prove the observations we thus hastily
put before them-that a tolerable knowl-
edge of medicine, and an acquaintance
with the nature of acids and alkalies,
would be one OF the most blessed accom-
plishments of the ladies-one of the rich
est dowries they could bring with them
into the newiy-furnished houses of their
husbands on the wedding day; and that
the regular practice of physic by the sex
would have the best effect on the health,
morally as well as physically, of the larger
half of society This science and profess
sion need not take woman out of her own
sphere. 1t demands no unsexing, like
that which would to Bloomerism and the
ballot-box. 1t leaves to the sex all that
ever made it charming would only
add to the attractions of Venus the grave
wisdom of Pallas. Without making any
violent strides over barrier which must
always remain, woman, in her own be-
coming way and attitude, may find in the
theory and practice We speak of. the best
means of putting herself as near the level
of the man as she can ever reach, and
thus crafty the highest ambition she
may be willing to entertain. AS the ply
sicians of more than moiety Of creation.
and the intelligent mentors and presery-
ers of their households and families, We
have no doubt that, in the course of time,
women win Yindicate in q nobler way
than they have yet done, their claim to

How an Indian can Die.
A touching instance of this character
istic trait occurred at the late engage
ment between small war party of the
Chippewas and greatly superior party
of the Sioux, near Cedar Island Lake.
The Chippewas, who were en- route for a
scalping foray upon the Sioux villages,
on the Minnesota. here fell into an am
buscade, and the first notice of danger
that saluted their ears was the discharge
of firearms from a thicket. Four oi
their number fell dead in their tracks.
Another, named War Cloud, leading
brave, had leg broken by bullet. His
! comrades were 10th to leave him, and
while his assailants were reloading their
guns, attempted to carry him along with
them to where he could get the shelter
of thicket a short distance in the rear
But he commanded them to leave him
telling them he would show their enc
mics how a Chippewa could die. A
his request, they seated him on los
with his back leaning againsta tree. HI
then commenced painting his face ant
singing his death song. As his enemie
approached him he only sung a loude
and livelier strain; and when several hat
gathered around him, fiourishing thei
scalping- knives, and sereeching fortl
their demoniacal yells and exultations
not look or gesture manifested that he
was even aware of their presence. Al
length they seized him and tore his sealI
| from his head. Still seated with his
back against large tree, they commenced
shooting their arrows into the trunk
around his head, grazing his ears, neck,
&c., until they literally pinned him fast
without once touching vital part. But
our hero remained the same imperturba.
BILE stole, continuing to chant his defiant
strain and although one of the number
fourished his reeking scalp before his
eyes, still not a single expression of his
fcountenance could be observed to change
Finally one of the number approached
him with a tomahaWk, which, after few
unheeded fiourishes, he buried in the
captive's skull, who sank in death with
"a song still upon his lips. He had in
deed succeeded well in teaching his ene-
mics show Chippewa could die. -
Some days afterwards they were taught
how Chippewa could be avenged.
