"Shipwreck," written by Miss Peck, and evincing
much poetic talent. The young lady is dsscrb-

ding stature, iair complexion, rather pale, with
dark auburn hair, high forehead and dark eyes
--fulLand dreamy when at rest. She is prof.
cicnt in Latin and Greek and familiar with Al
zebra, and has enjoyed tull liberty to indulge in
such readings as her taste prompted, having free
access to the large library Of her father but has
not had the least poetic training, and has no
knowledge Of the rules which govern versifca-

An INDIAN GOV CHANGE. Yesterday the
Merchants Exchange was visited b. member
Of the band Of Indians now sojourning in our
city from visit TO Washington OF course his
visit on Change was to beg for money. Among
others whom he accosted was gentleman who
wears very heavy black beard and whiskers.
This gentleman sought to amuse himself tantali-
zing the Indian, but would give him no money.
The indignant red skin, finding that he was only
being made sport of, pointed TO the heavy beard
OF the gentleman, and turning with expression
Of contempt, exclaimed :--Ughl Buffalo Squaw
BafaloN Perhaps there wasn't laugh at the
expense Of our friend with the hirsute append
age
