from Shanghai an interesting account Of the
habits of AZ Jakoon., a barbsrous peopls who
inhabt the interior Of Malacca. Their language
and features are unlike those Of the Malsys pro-
per, Of whom they are aso politically indepen- /
dent. 1hey have no history, having been found
by the early Portuguese yoy ayers In the coun-
try in which they still reside. They arc called
the Oranl -Bennar, or "men Of the great coun-
try !" the Jrang- Ubi, or ''men OF the hgh RI
vers :" the Orang. Hulang, or "men Of the for
ests 1" the Oran,,- Semang, or "black men :"
the jakoons and the Kaists. Gran Is the Malay
word for man ; and Utan or IIutan, for forest,
whence tho word so common with US, DURAN
outang, or wild men, IL men they may DO called,
when common opinion has assigned them rank
hardly above monkeys and balloons.
1hey generally live in houses built VI bamboo
| sticks, and suspended to the tops Of lofty trees
| to which they ascend by rude ladders. These
cabins, suspended TO the tree tops, are narrow
that stranger cannot he admitted without an
| noyaDce to a member Of the family or his exclu-
| sion for one must 70 down when new one
| comes up. Others, who have no tastes for these
aerial aboses-aests, not for birds, but for men
construct huts, raised two OF three feet above
the ground. The first story serves for lodging,
where they eat and sleep by the side OF a ro
always kept brightly burning, In order to fright
en- away the tigers and other wild beasts which
q the forests. In the second story they put
their arms for safety, their provisions and kltch-
co utensils, oil VI which arc prised in pixies,
in earthern pots, and one or two great China
bowls.
They eat whatever comes to hand "a wild
boars, apes and rds, which last are taken either

tubers which the earth produces In aoundance.-

 Twice a week the military band played in the Plaza at night; and as persons of all col ors and countries assemble there in great numbers to sit beneath the tastefully arranged orange trees that adorn it, the scene is singu- larly beautiful and pleasing, Here, too, for eigners mostly congregate in the evening. to smoke their cigars, with the natives, and each other.
 There are some wealthy and active business men in the city who are natives, but the whole sale and shipping business is pretty much in the hands of foreigners, English, French and Germans Some of the private residences, es- pecally those in the suburbs, are situated de- lightfully, being embowered in groves of or ang, cocoa-nut, and fig trees, with tasty gar dens whose bloom is almost perpetual The climate of Mazatlan is hot, at some seasons of the year almost sufocating.

A RED RIVER INDIAN GIRL.-An officer of the U S Mounted RiAemen. writing from the camp on the head waters of Red River, in New Mexico, thus describes a specimen of In dian beauty which came into camp:
 l. was here that I saw the noblest looking Indian girl that my eyes ever beheld. Her dress consisted of piece of brown cotton cloth, wrapped around her Joins and hanging to the knee On her head she wore her ma tive war plume She was tall, straight as an arrow and had free, wild Indian look, that was quite taking. Some of her tribe were giv- en to another sort of "taking," which required all our watchfulnesS to prevent She appeared to be eighteen years of age, and was the wife of young chief about twenty years old, It was interesting to see with what respect she waited on him. Her example would be edity- ing to wives of more civilized life. But it was amusing to see with what lordly indifference the young savage regarded her attentions trust have too much of the native galantry of my own Erin to see anything to commend in this example of coolness towards such de voted and sweet specimen of Indian beauty.
