At the meeting of the L. S. Agricul-
tural Society in Washington on the
l4th ult., quite an amusing scene oc-
Cured. 1t was announced early in
the morning that several boxes OF
fruit had been received from Oregon
which would be submitted to the So
cicty. At last the time came, the box
cs were opened, and such another col
lection oflargc pound apples, and pears
that could not be put whole into half
gallon pitcher, never before met their
eyes. All were equally astonishcd.
and then the Society, on motion of
Major Poore, (who said he had great
interest in apples, whereupon every
body laughed, the Society resolved
itself into Committee of the Whole
on the state of the fruit. Now he who
had the biggest knife was the best
fellow, and as almost every body
drew his blade there was every kind
of cutlery displayed, from an Arkan-
sas toothpick to a fine pen-knifc. 1t
was finally settled that each large ap-
pie should be cut into an infinite mum,
Der of pieces, and so handed round
Every body was in a hurry, and held
out their hands for their piece, so that
the scene rcscmblcd that which often
takes place in a school room when
some generous fellow distributes his
fruit among his companions. This
seemed to strike every onc-for "Give
me piece of that pear" "Fll take a
bit of that APPLE was the watchwore
and countersign, until some wag cried
"Ah, now you know me, give me the
core" Che wanted the seeds) convulscc
all with laughter. And so these dig
nitaries of the land for few moments
diverted themselves until they were
called to order by the President, whel
things resumed their former course
The best thing heard during the
whole time was a colloquy between
the distributors. One said to the 9th
CT, "You gave Secretary Guthrie ;
larger piece of that pear than 20,
| oaya Senator Crittanden Give Crittcn
den another" "No l shan't, arm
Guthrie the biggest MANI" was the
reply. All who heard the retort, ant
thought of the difference in size be
tween Secretary Guthrie, who will
weigh about $50 pounds, and Senator
Crittenden, who will not go over l3'
pounds, smiled audibly.

Visit from the AbOrigineS.


One day last week we were called
upon by Captain JIM" (Wapinicon,)
chief of the Winnebago tribe of In
dams, accompanied by his squaw and
young "brave." He was in talka-
tive mood, and VIC drew from him sew
eral interesting facts-among them
the names which his people gave the
rivers and certain localities in this vi
entity. 1t is impossible for us to give
the correct photography to Indian
words, but we have endeavored to
spell out few of the names Wapini-
con gave us as accurately as we were
enabled to from hearing him pro-
nouncc them. He gave us for the In
dian name of
She'll Rorh Rirr-Da-shon- dgh-Nc-

ga-tah. (Wild Turkey Rivcr.)
The Winnebago village, near the
spot where St. Charles is built, was
called Observation-Disclosures
nug-a-da-ta. Climber River Village. }
Wapinicon said it was eight years
ago that he dwclt here with his tribe
when his great white father" bought
all his lands" big country, so away
beyond Turkey River &c.-and Win
t nebago have to 60 find home in Min
| sofa" The Indian agent in Mime
ncsota annually pays him, his wife
and son $27 each, making SSl for his
, own family, and $l4 each to all the
other members of his tribe. The entire
population of the Winncbagos is now
1861. We asked Capt. jim why he
drew more pay than the others, ant
he answered, "Chicf know more" lie
j, said he disliked living in Minnesota
! there, "white man cheat much. Nj
pay twenty dollars for barrel of flour
, give Indian four pounds of sugar TO
E dollar Minnesota white man chea
! Indian" We asked if he was cheate'
+ in St. Charles. "No," said he; goo
S people here white man honest he n
: cheat Indian" Eyeing our large pres
intently for few moments, he starte'
towards it, and Selling the bar, he in
stantly pulled it round with giant
strength, exclaiming, "Shawg-a JIG
wun," when he let the bar fly bacl
with slam that threw all the gearing
out of place. "Shawg-a.je-wun" saie
! he. ain St. Paul me shawg- aje-wun.
Wapinicon's squaw was very goo'
,, looking, apparently not more than thil
, ty or thirty-five years old, while HI
t must be some ten or fifteen years old
er. She maintained perfect silence
unless spoken to by the chief; bu
, their little brave" aged, perhaps,
\ dozen years, was all about the office
, examining every thing. Putting
, type between his teeth and finding
, soft, he ran to tell the chief that
, would make bullets !! After strikin:
: off a few sheets and showing our cor
per-colored friends how paper coul
: be made to talk, the chief took a cop
. of the Intelligencer, saying, "me kee
t him." when they took their leave, ar
a parently much elated with their visit.

THE MODERN BELLE.
The daughter sits in the parlor,
And rocks on her easy chair,
She is dressed in silks and s%atins,
And jewels are in her hair;
She winks, and giggles and shippers,
And simpers, and CYCLES and Wlnks;
And though she talks but little,
It's vastly more than she thinks.
Her father goes clad in russets-
Alldirty and seedy at that;
His coat is out at the elbows,
And he wears a shocking bad hat,
He is boarding and saving his dollars,
So carefully day by day,
While she on her Whims and fancies
Is sqaandering them away.
She lies in bed Of a morning
UntiIthe hour of noon,
Then comes down Swapping and s~narling,
Because she's called 100 soon;.
Her haiI is till in papers,
Her cheeks still dabbered with paint-
Remains of last nights bushes
Before she attempted TO faint.
Her feet so very little,
Her hands SO very white,
Her jewels so Yery heavy,
And her head 50 very light,
Her color is made of cosmetics
Though this she'll never, own;
Her body is mostly cotton,
And her heart is wholly stone.
She falls in love with a fellow
Who swells with a foreign air;
He marries her for her money,
She marries him for his hair,
One Of the very bes. matches;
Both are well mated in life;
She's got a fool for a husband,
And he's got a fool for a wife.
