driving up Eighth street, experienced sudden jolt,

caused him to slide from his bad eminence,n and he
landed in the street with jar which upset his equi-

years since, undertook to explore Central Australia

AnEoDoTE OF ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS the

history of the settlement Of this State says the Mo-
bile Mercury, refused to enter into the formidable
Indian alliance under Weatherford and Tecomseh

people and was Of great service to them. The fol.
lowing anecdote Of him is told by writer, who is
giving the early history Of sumpter county in this
State: ss, 34s ,so,a
Y Pushmataha joined Gen. jackson, and rendered
very effective service in the war against the Creeks
He was highly esteemed, and fully trusted by Gen,
jackson, for whom, in return, he felt the warmest
regard After the defeat Of Weatherford at the battle
Of the Horse Shoe, Pushmataha often visited st.
Stephens and was always greeted with hearty well
come by the citizens, by whom he was regarded IA
their savior from the terrible fate that befe the Gar.
rson Of Fort Mmms. The citizens, out Of gratitude
prevailed on painter, who happened to he in At,
Stephens, to paint likeness Of Pushmataha without
allowing him to suspect it. When completed, Il vas
placed in room side by side with the portrait of
Gen. Jackson, with whom the Chief was well &C.
quainted. Walking in this room few DAYS after
wards, Pushmataha was delighted to find such cor.
rect likeness Of jackson, and paused several minutes
to recall his well remembered and nevertobeforgot.
ten features at length he turned to survey the other
picture. Drawing his stately form up to its full
length, he exclaimed, General Pushmataha, by
Cod" in such tone Of delight and gratified pride
as clearly evinced how much he was delighted with
having his picture side by side Of jackson, whom he
regarded with awe and reverence.

i An AUSTRIAN, VIEW OF ENGLANDs MILITARY
SpIRITThe following is an extract from an article
in the Oesterreichisehe Zeitstng
The cry of vengeance which was raised in England
as soon as the crueltes committed by the Indian mu
tneers became known was but natural. Women and
children can cry for vengeance, but men can do
more. It is a remarkable fact that no one band of
volunteers has yet offered to proceed to the seat of
war The universities, the public schools; the fac
tories, the cottages Of the peasants have not sent
forth one man with his gun his sword in his hand
In any other country thousands would have been
carried away by their feelings, and offered their SER
vices at such a hghly-critical moment. When the
United States were at war with Mexico, ten times as
many volunteers presented themselves as could be
accepted. Not only young men belonging to the first
and richest families but even grayheaded fathers of
families hurried to the scene Of action and served in
the ranks. The taste for deeds Of is almost ex
tinct in the European branch of the Anglo Saxon
It is only for lucrative appointments that there
is superabundance Of applicants The lower clas-
SEES, when enlisted and paid, do what they are told
but when the times are prosperous and wages high,
recruits are not to be found. In fact, the English
army has almost become myth.

Gen. VIM Wadsworth, OF Genesee, used to relate
an anecdote rather at his expense, with considerable
gusto. At an early period in the settlement of the
Genesee Flats, he owned large tract of land on the
opposite side ofthe river while the opposite side was
owned by squaw who disported in single blessed
ness, the sole possessor of the domain. The General
who was a bachelor and possessed swarthy com
pexon, had occasion to pay his red female neighbor
ayist. Talking on the affairs that specially interested
them as neighbors, the former said facetiousy "Now
suppose unite these broad tracts nnder one owner
and get married. "Me tink UNI good notion" said
the naughty female, "but when get UNI husband
me wants white man. .T-

Two lads, sons of Mr.. Schonberger of this city,
were at play in barn belonging to their father,
day or two SINCE when their attention was attracted
by tremendous splashing in tub filled with water
which stood upon the barn floor Upon investigation,
they found that the disturbance was caused by rat
that had fallen in while attempting to drnk-he hay

to reach down and claw the sufferer out, he fairly
turned tail, and, setting his claws firmly into the
board, extended his caudal appendage down into the
water, thus forming means Of escape which the rat
in the water quickly awaited himself Of He set his
claws and teeth into it, and held on like grim death,

y REMARKABLE MARRIAGEs.--Ofth the many Cinnamon
in New York not few keep cigar stands upon the
sidewalks. Their neghbors in trade are the Milesian
appewomen. Twentyeight Of these applewomen
have gone the way Of matrimony with their elephant
eyed, oive.skinned contemporaries and most Of them
are now happy mothers in consequence. The phys
oogists aver that the human being is improved as is
the domestic branch Of the quadr1pedal animals by
crossing" II this be true-and we suspect that It
sthe natives Of this country ought to be remarkable
for physical strength and beauty-for surely there
never was such mixture of races in any part OF the
world. Representatives Of all nations have located
aad married here. We know of two Bedoun Arabs
part of an exhibiting troupe that came to this coun
try several years ago, who married wives and are
rearing up offspring in of the Hudson river coun
ties Siam has his representatives here in the famous
twins, and in one of the uptown streets wealthy
native of Morocco domiciates with Westchester
county spouse. The mixture of Dutch, Italian,
French Spanish English, Irish, Danish, Swedish, ETC.,
is perfectly bewilderng; but the amalgamation of
the Irish and Chinese is more than bewldering-it
begets chaos of ideas from which no ray of intel
gibility can be safely eliminated. Imagine scion of
this stock chatting gaiy about "Josh" in one mo-
ment, and speaking Of his father Ping.Sing Chi,
and in the next whirling shilelah at primary
election, and swearing that he goes in, tooth and
nail or rather body and breeches for the nomination
