among the dusky tribes there are hundreds
Of tall, graceful maidens, with regular fea-
lures and pretty forms. We haze recent
ly visited different tribes of Indians, and
seen many hundreds of their females, and
as vet we have not found one which ap-
proaches to grace or beauty. Asa general
thing they are slovenly and lousy-it SUBJ

assertion that the author of the Last of

saw an Indian girl. If there is such a
thing as Minne-ha-ha, we should be

lowed the universally loved fellow into
his reindeer stable, and himself lifted
the hair on the backs Of Prancer, Dam
Ger, and all, as they breakfasted on
moss and milk, and he knows Of
certainty that they are in the highest
travelling condition. He also took the
liberty Of feeling of the Saints cheeks
on his way back to his house, and Of
pulling at his short hair. Neither the
one nor the other was the least bit
suspended" But the whole sky back
Of the Santa Claus mansion was suss.
pended thick with every conceivable
thing to gladden. the hearts Of children.
Mr.. Wind, however, seemed to feel that
the sleigh was not quite as large as that
in use of late years. He ventured to
seek by direct question, confirmation
Of his belief that the Saint was in
funds and eminently solvent. Patting
with a gesture full Of comfort and good
conscience, that
ssLittle round belly, that shook when
he laughed,
Like bowl full of jelly"
