cessarily rough road for the space of
three miles, wondering all the willie

We received a cordial greeting from

question if their generous favors were

best laid fire can give no heat and cook

dnce no corresponding actions without
that energy which gives power to all
that is of value. winch is, as it were,
the very life of life, and which IS never
more necessary or available than in the
mistress and mother ola family. Those
who have it not, and many are canstItn-
tIonally destitute ot il, would do well to
inquire OF their experience aud their
conscience, what cnmpensating virtues
they can bring into the marriage state

Early one evening in February we
received call from our friend MIR. r.,
who had just returned from trip to
Fort Ripley and to Grow Wing. He
amused US by telling various anecdotes
of the Indians who had been engaged in
u drunken frolic. One poor woman, in
her partial insensibility, had her nose
bitten completely off by her intoxicated
cousin, who for some trifiing cause had
become infuriated against her. She was
not aware Of her painful loss till the fol-
lowing morning, when she raised great
hue and outcry. calling on her husband,
among others. to revenge her Of the
nose! But he, smoking and reeling. de-
clared that he would have nothing to do
with her difficulty-as she was the most
good-for-nothing Of all his ,Oircs. She
drank still more deeply, and at night
roamed about from lodge to lodge, raw
ing for her nose; screaming now furi-
ously, now dcspondingly. 20 my nose,
my poor nose! Give me my poor nose!"
II is a singular taste displayed by
these people, in the custom TO which,
we learn. they arc unaccountabIy ad-
dictcd-thst of biting off the nasal or
gan Of the offender. However, it is by
no means an unheard Of occurrence
among that class who profess civilization
and refinement; and as it is from them
that the Indians acquire many barbar-
ism. perhaps the revolving practice
above alluded to may be Of the number.
So strong is their passion for intoxicating
drinks, for tirs-~aier literally, they will
buy all the cologne, essences, camphor,
that they can procure-drinking it as
though it were as harmless TO their viii
