SCOTTISH SERVANTS IL THE OLDES Tine
The charge these old domestics used to take
of the interests of the family, and the cool
way in which they took upon them to pro-
tect those interests sometimes led to very
provoking, and sometimes TO very ludicrous
exhibitions of importance A friend told
me of dinner scene illustrative of this sort
of Interference which had happened at Airth
in the last generation. Mrs. Murray, OF
Abercairney, had been amongst the guests,
and at dinner one Of the family noticed she
was looking for the proper spoon to help her
self with salt. The old servant, Thomas,
was appealed to, that the want might be sup
piled. lie did not notice the appeal. 1t
was repeated in a more peremptory manner,
Thomas, Mrs. Murray has not a salt spoons
to which he replied most emphatically -"Last
time Mrs Murray dined here, we lost salt
spoon"
have heard of an old Forfarshire lady who,
knowing the habits of her old and spcilt SER
want, when she wished for note to be taken
without loss of time, held it open and read It
over to him, saying, "There, moo, Andrew,
We ken a that's int; moo, dinna stop to open
Il, but lust send it aff." Of another servant
when sorely tried by an unaccustomed hustle
and hurry, very amusing anecdote has
been recorded. His mistress, woman OF
high rank, who had been living in much
quiet and retirement for some time, was
called upon to entertain very large party
ut dinner. She consulted with Nichol, her
faithful servant, and all the arrangements
were made for the great event, As the com.
pany were arriving, the lady saw Nichol
running about in great agitation, and IN his
shirt sleeves. She demonstrated. and sand as
the guests were coming in he must put on his
coat. Indeed, my lady," was his excited
reply, Indeed, there's sac muckle rinning
here, that I'm just distrackit. | haze cast
nv coat and waist-coat, and faith | dinna
ken how long can thole (bearl my breeks."
There was waggish old hancock at
Duntrune for sixty years, and during three
generations Of itsowners. In l745, when his
master was skulking, John found it necessa-
nv to take another service, and hired himself
to Mr.. Wedderburn, of Pearsie; but he weari-
ed to get back to Duntrune. One day the
Laird of Pearsie observed him putting spit
through peat lit may have been for the
purpose of cleaning i'll, be that as 1t may, the
Laird inquired the reason for so doing, and
John replied, Indeed, sir, am just going
to roast peat, for fear forget my trade. =
At the end of the two years ne returned to
Duntrune. where he continued to exercise his
calling till near the close Of life.-Ramsdy's

THE SNAKE INDIANS.

LIE SNAhE INDIANS.
The following particulars respecting these
wild and degraded bands of savages are
interesting now when rumors are current OF
their outrages upon some of our troops In
Oregon:
1.-The Snakes, or Shoshonies. known more
commonly as Diggers are the lower order OF
Indians. They are dividedinto quite num-
Der of bands, all speaking common Ian
guage. They occupy the country from
Burnt river on the east to the Des Chutes
river On the west, east of the Blue Mountains,
aud extend as far south rs California. Very
little is known about these indians. There
is reservation at the Warm Springs which
embraces Des Chutes and Tyich Indians,
but no Snakes that we know of have as yet
crept into it, although the location is pecu
liarly adapted to their tastes and habits,
Astounding as it does in ro0ts-such rs Rouse,
ia kamas, wapatoes, and wild onions-which
have been very important part of their
subsistence. With the exceptions of the i'm
mediate marginso Of the streams, their country
is almost barren waste, affording very little
vegetation, except the artemisia or wild sage.
They subsist, accordingly, even upon al
most every living thing within their reach,
including reptiles. crickets, ants, and other
insects and Upon emergencies it is said they
eat one another. II has been asserted by
gentlemen of the Hudson's Bay Company
that they are proverbially improvident. and
neglect to store up any subsistence Tor WIN
ter, and consequently, in extremities, resort
to cannibalism. In summer they 60 IN a
state Of nudity, and in winter, to q partial
extent they bring into requisition skins OF
rabbits. and of wild fowl, such as geese and
ducks, as articles of clothing. The wild
sage furnishes them shelter in the heat OF
summer, and, like the cayote, they burrow
in the earth for protection from the incle-
memcies Of winter. They arc = thieving as
we'll as indolent people, but are without
the means as well us the energies OF being
warlike."
