SINGULAR AND MYSTERIOUS. The N. Y.
Tribune has an account of beautiful young
lady who left Philadelphia eight months ago
in company with a merchant OF New York,
who persuaded her to stop for the nigh. at
that city-hOw she dined with him, drank
wine, fell asleep and the next morning found
herself awake, with the gentleman standing
beside her bed, who persuaded her that she
b ad tainted. She was satisfied with the ex-
PLANTATION, and started for home without the
slightest idea that she had been wrongly dealt
with" How wrongly it turned out may be
judged, by the fact that she now finds herself
TO copy the orthogrsphy Of the Tribune,
which evidently shares her fatarspelD Denciente.
We imagine this TO be a case Of moral tor.

DEscRIPTIoS OF FINE LADY IN EpINBuRe
FIFTY YEARS AGo.-EKcept Mrs Siddons, in
some Of her displays Of magnificent royalty,
nobody could sit down like the lady Of Inver-
lleth. She would sail. like a ship from Tar
shiSh, gorgeous in velvet, or rustling in silk,
and done up il all the accompsniments Of fan,
ear rings and finger rings, falling sleeves,
scent bottle, embroidered bag, hoop and train;
all superb, yet all in purest taste, and mana.
ging all this seemingly heavy rigging with az
much ease as ll-blown swan does its plu-
mage, she would take posses sion Of the centre
Of large sofa, and at the same moment, with
out the slightest visible exertion, would cover
the whole Of it with her drspery, the graceful
folds seeming to lay themselves over it like
summer waves
The descent from her carriage, too, where
she sat like a nautilus in its she'll, was dis
play which no one in these days could accom-
plish or even fancy. The mulberry oolored
coach, spacious but apparently not too largo
for what 1t carried, though she alone was IN
1t; the handsome. jolly coschman, and his
splendid hammer-clOth loaded with lace the
two respectful, liveTied footmen, one on each
side Of the richlycarpeted step; these were
lost sight of amidst the slow majesty with
which the lady came down and touched the
earth. She presided, in this imperial style,
over her sons excellent dinners, with great
sense and spirit, to the very last day Of a pro-
longed lite-LoTd COeEtHrH's Menoriats.

his heart taken from thence, his scalp cut
from his head, and if he has whiskers most Of
the skin cut from bis face, and the greatest
lndignity Of all, those parts which designate
tue man are cut from his body and stuck into
bis mouth. All this has been done; not 20 one
family only, but 10 several. Yet those philan-
1roplsts never say word about this, nor even
move out of the even tenor Of their way TO
prevent such things from occurring. And
even now IN Southern Oregon and Northern
Calltornia murders Of white citizens are Of
daily or weekly occurrence, and the United

are falling back in mastery inactivity"

sustain the position of Gen. Wool, who, il sp-
pears wishes TO coax the Indians into a treaty
instead of cOnquering peace
Since L came in from the war South, I have
been on the Grand Round Reserva alton and
have talked With many of the chiefs, Old Sam
in Particular, who says Gen Palmer has told
him lies, that he promised to let him and his
people SO back to Rogue River valley as soon
as the war ended, and now he will not do it
and most all of the petty chiefs Of the Rogue
River Indians talk in the same way. I am
of the opinion that it will require a sleepless
vigilance by those having charge Of the In
dianS on the Reservation, to prevent greater
outbreak amongst these people than has ever
cursed the country
Having made this communication longer
than l expected, ! am most anxious that truth
and justice may dispel the clouds that now
darken our horizon, and that praise and CEN
sure may be placed to the credit Of those to
whom they justly belong.

The IMMORAL DRANA.-There appears to be
just now a great rage for what might be prop
erly termed the immoral drama. In Paris
plays after the style of LaDama aux Csmelias
are found the most attractive. The Empress
weeps over PiccolOmini's representations of q
comsumptive prostitute with a high soprano
voice, and of course every one with the slight
lachrymal tribute of Eugene precisely as they
adopt her expanse Of crinoline. In London
all Belgravia was likewise affected by the
same cause; and in New York we find three Of
the principal theatres serving up the same
dish, more or less spieed, according 10 the sup
posed appotites of the patrons and the con
science OF the manager.
