INDIANS IDEA OF BAPTIsM.-At st.
Joseph's, few days since. the rite of
baptism was performed on a number Of
females by immersion in the river. As
it was winter, it was necessary to cut
hole in the ice; and the novelty of the
scene attracted large crowd; among
whom were several Indians, who looked
on in wondering silence. They retired
without understanding the nature or OBJ.
ject of the ceremony they had seen; but
observing that all the subjects of INNER:
sion were females, and getting vague
idea that it was to make them good, the
Indians came back a few days after
wards, bringing their squaws with them,
and cutting another hole in the ice, near
the same place, immersed each and all
ofthem in spite of their remonstrances.
Good for white gal, good for squaw."

ALEXANDER STEPHENS, Represe hta.
tive from Georgia, is thus described by
Washington writer:
His figure is small, slender, and deli
cate as that of boy; it is said he weighs
scarcely hundred pounds, and his head
seems tlnnaturally large in proportion to
that slight frame. The face is pallid
and ghastly, and bears the distinct i'm.
press of physical pain and disease, but
his eye is keen, restless, and piercing as
that of falcon. See how earnestly he
gesticulates with those long, white fin.
gers, while every word he speaks seems
to thrill through and through his frail
physi4aei His voice is shrill treble,
heard plsinly above the hum and mur.
mur OF the House, which, indeed, 10
somewhat subdued, as his well-knowu
eloquence and ability command deep
interest from all quarters. He sinks
back pale and exhausted into his seat
but this debility does not long endure,
for the giant powers of his energetic in
tellect have SO complete command
ouer the diseased body, that in five min.
utes he is again busted in debate:

SPEAKING of the bribery and threats
used by Buchanan to rule the country,
to which we alluded in our last, the Ken
tucky editor thus gives vent to ideas
that should put every lover of free insti-
tutions upon his guard:
"Yet, if we may credit the represen-
tations of Mr.. Buchanan's confidential
friends at Washington, and the most re-
served and judicious of them too, he
daily addresses his opinions to Congress,
with as much authoritativeness and as
little concealment as if he were the Au-
tocrat instead of the President of the
United States. The language in which
Mr.. Kingman couches his despatch
shows not only that this most unwar-
rantable practice is habitual, but that
familiarity has rendered it decent, if not
becoming even to the better class Of the
Presidents political friends. Such q
fact, and it is altogether indisputable, is
calculated to awaken grave considera-
ton in that portion Of the American peo-
pie who consider anything relating to
government gravely. The practice in
question is a startling one. Its evident
tendency is to pervert the best Govern
ment on earth into one of the worst, for,
of all forms of political oppression, we
conceive despotism under republican
forms to be the most intolerable, embt-
tering the sense of injustice, as it does,
by adding mockery to wrong, and speed
ing the shaft of tyranny with feather
plucked from the victims own bosom.
The necessary effect of the executive
encroachment which Mr.. Buchanan is
pushing so unblushirgly is to reduce our
Incompatible system to such a form.
Indeed, the degree to which it has al
ready advanced or receded in this direc-
ton is as mortifying as it is alarming to
every real lover of his country. Under
this most reprehensible usage, the Con-
gress of the United States to-day, in all
except mere forms, bears a nearer re-
semblance to the Legislative Body of
Louis Napoleon than it does to the ideal
Congress of the Constitution. This is
the sober truth. At the current rate of
official assumption, it viii not be many
years before our Congress is stripped of
even its present quasi independence, and
shall sink to the level of the Imperial
Council of the Czar or the Divan of the
Sultan. And this as the natural fruit Of
species Of executive usurpations inau-
gurated and carried out by Presidents of
the school of politics styled Democratic
by way of eminence.
We do not overestimate the strength
of this centralizing tendency. Its fear
full expansion is obvious to every obser
yer of affairs at Washington. The new
Territorial question has brought it into
striking view. The repeal of the Mis-

obsequies of the Empire. His horse
was killed under him; he was wounded
in two places he was crushed on the
ground among the flying crowd; they
had made him prisoner, and the Prus-
slams were on the point of shooting him,
when one of the enemy's surgeons, an
old pupil at Vienna, recognized his old
teacher, and FASTENED to apprize Blu
cher.
His life was saved, and a guard of
honor escorted him to the French from
tier. They could scarcely do less for
such man.
After the Restoration, he retired into
the shade, shut out from the Court.
Surgeon-in-c of the Hospital of
Guard, he had neither distinctions nor
honors, he was neither Peer of France
nor Grand Gross of the Legion of Hon
or; he had almost forgotten the road to
the Tuilleries of the Bourbous.
One day, a guard presented himself
to him, with letter of recommends
ton.
"What do you wish p said Larrey.
81 would like to be corporal, Mon
sier lie Baron
"Alas - replied the surgeon of the
Emperor, 81 have made generals i'll my
time, but to-day don't know if | have
interest enough to make a corporal"
In 1880, the Hospital of the Guard
was on the point Of being attacked by
the mob; the authorities were unable to
check them, when Larrey appeared, and
said :
"My friends, we have only sick peo-
pie here; every good Frenchman ought
to respect this asylum"
The crowd instantly retreated, with
round of applause to the gallant vete-
ran.
He was an old man, still active and
energetic, however, and he felt that but
a few years separated him from the tomb,
when the irresistible desire seized upon
him to revisit Africa, the scene of his
earliest labors. The Government yield
ed to his request, and he set out: His
journey across the African provinces was
one continuous ovation, an immense tri.
umph; and his son, sarant, worthy of
the great name he bears, witnessed how
his illustrious father was venerated by
the French army. The presentiment
entertained by everybody, as to the re-
suit of climate and camp-life upon Lar
rey, soon realized itself, and, on his re-
turn to France, he fell victim to the
illness incurred by his devotion, His
remains were conveyed to Paris. The
Government of July refused the tomb
of the 1nvalids to the capture of Saint
Helen, but the city of Paris spontane-
ously awarded place therein to the cit
izen who had so we'll deserved of his
country. A crowd of soldiers, Sarans,
and people, mingled in one mournful
procession, followed Larrey to his last
resting place. His numerous works,
conceived, as it were, under the fire of
the enemy, collected frsm- nature had
enriched with ideas the most rare, are
mines of information of which France
may be proud. Friend of the Emperor,
philosopher, man of excessive energy,
noble character, true heart; masculine
and imposingin appearance, even among
the greatest men of the Empire, Larrey
is worthy of Immortality. - Winter
