MORE Truth THAN PoErRY.-The n. Il.
Telegraph is of the opinion that an
editor who cannot stop one Of the
finest trains of thought, that he is
putting on paper, to minute the di-
mansions of large pumkin. write an
advertisement for hog lost, enter
the name of new subscriber, or re-
ceive pay for an old one, or to take a
cowhiding for something he has said
and after all resume the thread of his
discourse, and carry out the idea in
it's original force and beauty, is next
to no editor at all.

From China,

Accounts have been received to the
Goth of November from Shanghai, and
the 25th of November from Canton.
From the latter place the news is I'M
portant. Fighting had recommended,
and the Americans had made common
cause with the English.
1t is added that three Americans
had been captured and beheaded, and
that their heads had been stuck by
the Chinese on the city walls. Bust
ness was, of course, wholly suspended
and report was current that Shanghai
had been attacked and taken by the
rebels. This, however, is believed to
be without foundation.
The Hong Kong mail of the goth Of
Nov. gives details of the collision with
the Americans. It appears that boat
belonging to the frigate Portsmouth
was fired upon by fort, which was
afterwards shelled by two American
vessels. The American Commissioner
then proceeded to demand satisfaction.
No mention is made of any Americans
being killed. Admiral Seymour had
blown up the Bogue forts and taken
others, spiking fifty-fve guns.
Private letters from Canton, dated
Nov. 18th, intimate that some causes
of quarrel had arisen between the
Americans and the Chinese, and that
it was probable they would unite with
the English fleet in the attack upon
Canton. The impression in the fleet
was that Canton would be taken with
in short period after the writing Of
the letters. Although the Chinese dc
not attempt anything like systematic
resistance, they seek to annoy and in
jurc the English ships of war in a va
riety of ways. The practice of ex-
ploding boats or sand pans laden will
sewage and filth, as close to the ships
as they can get, although not very
dangerous, is very annoying, and tends
much to exaspcrate both the officers
and crews of the English ships. 1t is
worthy of note, with raRect to any
proceeding upon Canton, mat the Eng
iish feet at present there is mucl
greater than was engaged in the last
Chinese war.

Indian Customs.

Some of our western Indians appear
to have had a singular belief in the
mysterious influence of the steps OF
their squaws upon the vegetable and
insect creation. After complaining,
it was the practice Of the lntlish hunt
er's wife to choose the first dark or
overloaded evening to perform a Sc
cret circuit, Saws habiiement, around the
field. For this purpose she slipped
out of the lodge in the evening, unob-
served, to some obscure nook, where
she completely disrobed. Then taking
her matchekota, or principal garment,
in one hand, she dragged it around
the field. This was thought to insure
prolific crop, and prevent the as
saults of insects and worms upon the
grain. It was supposed they could
not creep over the charmed line.
The Indians hold the maize, or corn
in great generation. They esteem it
so important and divine grain that
their story tellers have invented vari'
Gus tales in which this idea is symbol
lied under the form of special gift
from the Great Spirit. Some tribes,
who call their corn Mon-da-min, that
is, the Spirits grain or berry, have
pretty story, in which the corn stalk
in full tassel is represented as dcscen
ding from the sky, under the gulse OF
a handsome youth, in answer to the
prayers of a young man at his fast OF
virility, or coming to manhood.
1t iswell known that complaining
and corn-gathering, at least among al
the still uncolonized tribes, are LET,
entirely to the females and children
and few superannuated old men
This labor is not compulsory, but il
assumed by the females as just
equivalent, in their view, for the oner
Gus and continuous labor of the Other
sex, in providing meats, and skins fo'
clothing, by the chase, and in defend
ing their villages against their enc
mics. a good Indian housewife deems
this her prerogative, and prides her
self to have store of corn to exer
else her hospitality, or duly honor he
husbands hospitality, in the EN- sain
mcnt of the lodge guests.
During the husking season, if on'
of the young female huskers finds al
car of red corn, it is thought to be typ
ical of brave admircr, and is regard
ed as fitting present to some young
warrior. But if the ear be crooked
and tapering to point, no matte
what color, the whole circle is set il
a roar, and ua-gs-min is shouted aloud
The exclamation means a Mief in tn
corn-fcld, the crooked or tapcring ca
bringing wildly to the minds of tn
merry group the idea of cowardl
pilferer of their favoritc mondamln.
