of Spanish life iu 1850, which was, in
fact, counterpart Of that led by the fash.
ionable circles at Milan:
The dinner-hour was one o'clock. Peo.
pie ate more than they do now, and great.
er skill was required in eating dinner
than earning one. As the hands were
forced to remain idle while encased in ruff.
fes, pasteboard covers were invented to
protect them. Other contrivances Of the
same sort were used to guard the hens of
the coat and the shirt collar from stains.--
But the most complicated and curious was
that which was put on for the MONDAY

The same Spanish writer quoted by Sig
nor Cantu, comically enough describes the
night toilet of the Mirabels and Milamants
of that time, with their monstrous fourets
and stilt.like red heels
This great business (the solemn evening
game at cards) ended, each family retired
to rest, and as much time was needed TO
take off the complicated attire as to put it
on. While The lady's head was being dis

grieved as much as they were astonshed
at the change, the shape and volume of the
authors Of my days seemed TO melt away,
and they ended in species of annihilation
which rendered their very height and fca-
lures unrecognizsble to men.

bloody Fight with the Tndlnnss- -Ford's
Ruu.prs CJnt OF.

The Cenrrvile Herald published at
Ccn'reviIle, Leon county, Texas, in its is
sue Of the 9Th inst, publishes the follow
ing account the desperate conflict with the
Indians, on the northern frontier of the
State, in which Capt Ford's company of
Rangers WAS surrounded by eight hundred
Indians, and all killed except five:
give YOU brief settlement Of the loss
Of fony-three Ct our brave rangers in an
unfortunate engagement with the Indians.
Capt Ford, with ~ Of his men, left
camp in pursuit Of tn Indians, who had
carried IF 400 horses He was Joined by
200 friendly Indians, and afterwards bv
Major Van Dorm, with $50 regulars. AZ
ter the united forces had passed the head
waters Of the Red River, Maj. Van Dorm,
deesing it prudent to press the pursuit
further without additional supplies for men
and horses, turned back. Capt. Ford and
men, with tho friendly Indians, continued
two days travel in the direction Of Kansas.
Between midnight and daybrcak Of the
2d night the friendly Indians left the camp
Of Captain Ford. About daylight Capt.
Ford found himself surrounded by 500
warriors, who demanded his surrender
He refused, and ordered his men to pre-.
pare for fight, each being armed with two
revolvcrs and a rifle. They fought bravo
ly and desperately, but were overpowered
by numbers, and all butchered except Capt.
Ford and four Of his men, who cut their
way through and escaped.
Among the names Of those who fell
fighting bravely are the two nephews Of
Gen. f. Burleson, Aaron and his brother,
(whose father was killed in former en-
gagemcnt with the Indians,) and whose
untimely fate will be deeply regretted by
friends and relations in our country.
The above information was brought me
direct from Austin II on the arrival Of the
express from Capt. Ford, and is reliable.
Great excitement prevails in Travis and
adjoining counties, and it is supposed that
large company will start in pursuit Of the
Indians so soon as preparations can be
made. Respectfully,
THOs. w. BLAKE.

Az OpERArIc ERRon.-Thc Cincinnati
Enquirer tells story about q couple OF
countrymcn who visited that city, and ask
ing for "Pike's" were unwittingly shown
Mr.. Pixies private residence, which they
mistook for tho Opera house. Perceiving
tho front door open, they entered quietly,
as is natural to uncultivated natives sur
rounded BY objects to which they are un.
accustomed, aud awed by the splcndor Of
the furniture-tbey had never seen any
thing like it before--they stepped into the
drawing room on tip toe. with eyes astare
and mouth agape in wondorment, and took
seats upon a brocatclle sociable placed a
gainst the wall.
A young lady seated at the further end
Of the apartment at piano, on which she
was playing, did not hear them enter, and
continued h1r performance, accompanying
it with her voice.
As her clear suprano rose above the in
strument in delicious sweetness, the bucolic
auditors were lost in admiration, and had
not the least doubt that was the opera, es-
pccally rs they had heard, to use their
own expression, "thore was singin' in It,"
"By golly, that 'ere's fine, amt it BillP-
said one side. "Purty good opery. That
gal sings like c'nsry--don't she Sill4"--
The party appealed to nodded assent to-
his opinion, and both re'apscd into pro.
found silence until the song was completed
when, unable to restrain their enthusiasm,
they began applaudiug violently, stamping
their feet on the tapestry carpet, and cry.
ing in loud voices: "Go it old gal; we'll
bet on you. You're tho bes. opery OUT!
The young lady, alarmed at this noisc
and outcrv, fed up stairs. and said there
was some drunken rowdies in tho drawing
room, which induced the calling Of the
coachman and butler to eject the ruralists
from the promises.
When ordered out Of the house, the
countrymen offered money, saying that
they were "willin' to pay their dollar TO
SEQ tho show" and no one had right TO
put them out, and they wouldn't 60 out
any how. They were nevertheless elected
from the house, To their intense indignation.

Attempted Arrest Of tfe Witnesses for the
Prosecution In Open Court by the Local
Authorities.
The whole Reserve is aroused to intense
Indignation, by the trials now going on in
the U. s. District Court, at Cleveland -
The Cleveland Congregational Conference
have passed fiery resolutions, but an indent
which broke the monotony Of the proceed
ings in the case Of Langston, will best ex-
emplify the spirit which has been excited.
We reproduce the account in the Leader
of Friday morning Cincinnati Gazette.
Deputy Sheriff Whitney, from Lorain
county, stepped inside Of tho Bar where
Jennings and Mitchell, the Kertucky kid.
nappers, were seated and quietly notified
that he held warrant against them, is
sued by tho Court of Lorsin county, on
an indictment for kidnapping. Thereup
on Deputy U. 8. Marshal came forward
and took from his pocket bench warrant
issued by Judge Wilson, to hold the parties
as witnesses in the several cases still pend.
ing, and stated that he held Jennings and
Mitchell BY virtue of this warrant.
Mr.. Thayer, rs counsel for the Lorain Of.
ficers, stated TO the Court that they did
not propose to take the prisoners away from
the Court so that they could not be had
for witnesses, and that the arrest would
not have been made in open Court, if it
had been possible TO have found the pris.
oners during the adjournment-that the
warrant had been hero several days, and
the Court House had been watched, and
the prisoner had not been found outside
the Court room. Mr.. Thayer said that all
he desired was that the Court should order
these prisoners to be safely kept by the
Marshal, so that when they were no long.
er required as witnesses, the would be Ia.
ken charge Of by tho Lorain officers, and
not be spirited away by tho Marshal under
cover Of this bench warrant.
Judge Wilson stated that the prisoners
were held by bis warrant, which was issued
upon an affidavit stating that they were
required as witnesses 10 several cases there
in named. He then called upon tho pris.
oners to know whether they were prepared
to enter into recognizance with security
They replied no, and the Judge then
ordered them into the custody Of the
Marshal.

The father of this family Of thieves is a
remarkable specimen of humanity. From
some rheumatic affection he is drawn into
every conceivable i'll shape, and has been
confined to his bed for the last fifteen
years, being unable to use his members
except his hands and tongue, the latter of
which he uses with great facility. While
his affections Of the body prevented him
from engaging in the active operations Of
business, he was nevertheless the ruling
spirit Of the clan, and is supposed to have
planned every expedition or foay upon the
property and even lives of the people, for
they are strongly suspected Of having dis
posed of several individuals for the sake Of
their money. The persons engaged in
breaking up this desperate clanof outlaws
are entitled to tho gratitude of the people.

A New DODGE OF THE THTEvEs.--A
young man called at the Office Of Mr.. Rod

Rodgers was absont, and his daughter in
charge of the Office. She said that her
father had only gone across the street,
and be politely requested her to call him.
She stepped out for that purpose, aud re.
turning with him in few moments, found
the stranger had vanished. Some hours
afterwards Mr.. Rodgers discovered that a
mahogany cash box containing S2l3 rs
ha! been abstracted, and facsimile
had been put in its place. He then recol

in tho morning he had occasion to take
some money from the box to ply bill and
he doubts not that the stranger, observing
this, went off and procurr d another box

afternoon. He is about twenty years Of
age, five feet light or nine inches high,
