OVER ExERTIoN.-As an Offset to
the muscular mania which now cob
tains" among the young men of this
age, the following is worth reading:
A writer in the London Times SAYS
that ''almost all young men who have
been at Oxford and Cambridge, es-
pecially those who have meddled
much in boat races, have as rule dis
eased blood vessels, arteries, or yeines,
and very many of them diseased and
dilated hearts, all brought on by
the strain and undue excitement ''re-
memora," we doctors call it, of the
circulation induced by pulling at boat
races. In fact the matter is now well
organized both at insurance Offices
and in the administration of. choloro-
form among the upper classes, where
diseased heart is to be avoided. 1t
would seem the delicate fibers of the
hearts of boys and lads sent to Oxford
especially, at once give way before
this pressure of remora."

FRAUDS IN PICTURES. -We suppose
that more frauds are practised proper
tionately in the sale of pictures, than
in that of any other foreign article,
liquors not excepted. Large sums of
money are expended every year in
this country, for pictures which are
falsely represented to be the work of
distinguished artists. Even pretty
good judges are often deceived by ven
doris who have copies Of some we'll
known painting of a living artist, and
who pretend that the copies were
made by the artist who painted
the original. One of the New York
papers publishes letters from Merle,
and Frere, French artists of note, dis
owning copies which had been offered
for sale. Any copy purporting to be
from the author of the original should
be viewed with suspicion for good
artists do not often repeat their works.
Some of them can hardly be persuaded
to reproduce their pictures on any
terms.

A PALERMO letter gives the follow
ing anecdote Of sister of charity ::
A Young patriot, named Francisco
Rise, was killed ON April 4th, during
a popular demonstration which took
place before Garibaldi's arrival. On
April Goth his father, Giovanni Rise,
sixty years old. was shot by the Bour-
bon soldiers without so much as the
form of trial. On the very day that
Garibaldi entered Palermo young
and beautiful nun, Ignacia Riso, the
sister and daughter Of the two Risos
above named, left the convent, and
amidst a shower of balls and grape shot
a cross in one hand and poignard in
the other, placed herself at the head
of Garibaldi's column, crying, Down
down with the Bourbons Death to
the tyrant Vengeance y She kept
her place as long as the fight lasted,
and her courageous attitude electrified
the volunteers. Ever since that day
the name Of Igancia Rise has been
held sacred. When she passes in the
streets the soldiers bow low and bless
her with the most profound respect.
Garibaldi himself pays hergreat atten-
tion, and loves her as if she were his
own daughter"

TAR AND FEATHERs.-So early. as
the reign of Charles vi of France
(the time of Henry " of England, }
the French king (Charles) gave a
masquerade, in which himself and FIVE
courtiers distinguished their persons
to initiate satyrs, by covering their
naked bodies with close linen habits,
which habits were then besmeared
with rosin, on which down was stuck
all over. One of the company in a
frolic, touched one of these satyrs with
lighted torch as they were dancing
in a ring; the consequence was, all
the six Mosques or satyrs were envel-
oped in the flames instantaneously.
Four of the six died Immediately, and
the king never recovered the fright
and disorder occasioned by the acct
dent.

PARTI CoLoRED LITERATURE.
Formerly there lived in London q gold
smith named Thomas Wirgman, who
who had craze for publishing his
own writings. He had the paper
made expressly for himself, SO that
each leafin the book should have its
own peculiar tint, and if the color Of
any sheet did not suit him when prin-
ted, he would destroy the whole issue,
and have new lot of paper made.
In this way he spent his fortune of
$25O,OOO.

A YOUNG woman residing in the up
per part of Troy, N. Y, attempted to
commit suicide on Monday evening,
by swallowing an ounce vial of lauda-
mum, and afterwards stabbing herself
in the breast with pair of scissors.
Some years since, this Young woman
eloped from her husband, most re-
spectacle young man, in good circum-
stances, by whom she had always been
tenderly treated. Her paramour de-
serted her in a Western city, and she
wrote to her husband for forgiveness.
He did forgive her and welcomed her
back to her home. But her innate
depravity soon manifested itself again.
and she became so unworthy that her
husband was forced to abandon her to
her ways of wickedness. Since then
she has been the mistress of fast
Young man, and at a later period. of a
River-street merchandising in the
house of a well-known California
Widow On Sunday evening the
merchant caught her in company with
a shoemaker who he kicked out of the
house, and, after beating and cutting
the woman, informed her that he
should have nothing more to do with
her. Desolate and remorseful, the
miserable woman sought to end her
course in self-inficted death. The
stab she gave herself after taking the
laudanum, probably saved her life.
She is now under the treatment of q
surgeon, and win, no doubt, recover.

TERRIBLE FIaHr AMONG THE IN
pIANs.: THREE HUNDRED WARRIORS
K1LLEp.-We learn from Mr. David
son. of Indianola, that painful rnmor
was brought TO that place. on Satnr-
day last, by a returned Pixies Peaker,
of severe indian fight, some three
weeks since, on the Solomon, about
one hundred miles above Fort Riley,
in which about three hundred Potto-
watomies and DelawareS were killed.
The informant says he passed directly
through the scene of the battle--that
the dead were all scalped, and suppos-
ed the other party to have been Chey-
ennes, Arraphoes, &C., who were
known TO have been in that vicinity
at that time. The murdered Indians
are supposed to be a party of some
three or four hundred Pottowatomies,
half. breeds, and Delawares, that went
from this vicinity short time preyi-
GUS to the rumored battle, for the pur-
pose of hunting buffalo. Among them
were Messrs. lie Flumbeau, Beaubien,
Ogee, Darling, and other prominent
Indians, we'll known in this vicinity,
who accompanied the expedition for
the sake of the excitement and pleas
ure which it promised.
The fight was witnessed by a cou
pie of pioneers, who was at the time
hunting buffalo, and was described bv
them as being a fearful scene. The
combatants numbered some thousands,
were all mounted, and kept constantly
circling, lying down in their saddles,
and firing over their horses necks as
they approached the enemy. The
fight lasted two hours. Quite num-
Der were killed-their informants did
not know how maryland at the end
of that time the Pawnees broke, and
ran with the Cheyennes after them.
In addition to the above informa.
ton, Mr.. B. informs us that great ex-
element prevails throughout the from
tier settlements, on account of Indian
depredations-that many whites had
been killed also, that he met many
families on their way to the larger
settlements, carrying with them their
entire household goods, having aban-
doned their homes, their crops, and
everything they could not carry away
Companies were being made up at
Manhattan, Junction City, &C., for
pursuing and chastising these wild
Indians, who have never before pres
sed the settlements so close as now.
It is hoped that the commandments OF
the forts viii take'this in hand imme-
diately. The settlement of the coun-
try on the Republican and Solomon
Forks had been rapidly progressing
this season, and these disturbances,
unless speedily checked, win prove
very serious in their effects upon the
country.
Messrs. lie Flumbeau and others
spoken of above have since been heard
from, all safe The rumor of a fight
is confirmed, but no particulars re-
ceiYed.

Why ARE THE PRAIRIEs TREELEss /?
The Westerners, when they specu-
late on geology, answer this question
by affirming that the prairie fires have
burnt them all off-that they have
been frightened out Of existence by
the fires of the Indians. At other
times they vary their theory by affirm
ing thst the absence of trees is due to
the deficiency of rain; but neither
does this stand examination, for the
maps of the distrihhtion of rain shows
that the fall on the prairies about
equals that in other regions. Mr..
Whitney, in his paper on the origin of
the Prairies, read before the Scientific
Congress, shows that the real cause of
the absence of arbourescent vegeta-
ton lies in certain mechanical condi-
tions of the soil, and in its extreme
fneness. - Western Paper
