which accomplishes his ends at least as
ehectually as nOisier methods, and in
manner much better suited to his taste and
his temperament. His nature is not rich,
his soul not magnimous, or his mind
either strong or subtle. he influences
men neither by convincing nor winning
them. His character is that of clear per-
ception his power, that of nervous ener-
gy and these are directed by an irhexible
will. While other men pause over their
scruples, and endeavor to reconcile their
purpose aud their conscience, he strikes
directly at success. Devoid alike of en-
thusiasm and OF sentiment, he yet knows
the exaltation of entire commitment to
great purpose. His body is spare; his
brain large; his face sttenuated and pure
ly intellectual in expression; his manner
placid and precise, but decided. He could
not have aroused the storm of ofinsurrection,
but he is just the man to guide its destruc
tive engines.

Picture OF an Indian BeIIe.

A Fort Ruby, Nebraska, correspondent
gives the following sketch:
Yesterday the "belle" of the Shoshopes
-"Sugar Plum" by name was pointe d
out to your correspondent. Her dress con.
sisted of an old tattered red calico skirt
and dirty gray flannel shirt drawn over
her shoulders, over which fell iunumer-
able strings of colored beads and triuk
cts of various kinds. Her feet were
enclosed in a heavy pair of mems
shoes, world too large, and her ankles
enveloped in wrappings of old red flannel
Her face, around which fell tangled masses
of jetty hair, which WAS not indeed repuI-
sive, but could certainly not be called
or attractive. This is the near

The BuzzIng Bee.

We don't know when we have read a
more quaint and genial fancy sketch than
the following ''idIe article" from the Prov
ideuce (R. I) Journal. The man who
wrote it certainly wields an uncommonIy
graceful pen:
A bee buzzed in at our window yester-
day He was dressed like colonel of cav
airy, in dark suit, with yellow trimmings
After dashing raid or two over our desk
and around our head, just as if one was
Virginia, and the other Mississippi, he
lapsed into the transparent panes, lzzing
and zeelRg up and down, with the drore of
bag pipe, and striving in vain 10 get out,
like Sterne's melancholy Startling. "I can't
get out-I can't get out" said the starting
"God help thee, said l, but I'll let thee out,
cost what it will" We lifted mp the win
dow little higher. Out flew the bee,
like shot from gun, and we were once
more alone.
The call of the bee was pleasant. There
was something comforting in his musical
buzz. 1t spoke of cowslips and crocusses,
and warmer weather. The season has been
backward There have been more con-
Irabands than zephyrs coming from the
south. Now and then we have had o sign
