NEGROES METAMoRPHosED INTO In
7DrANs s-The New York Nesos says the
negroes West of Arkansas, who were for.
meriy held as slaves by the ChoctaRs and
Chickasaws, have been u,etamorphosed into
Indians by the terms Of a recently proulul.
gated treaty with the tribes mentioned. =
All negroes resident in the nation are in,
corporated into the respective tribes, and
are 10 have and enjoy all the rights, priv.
leges and immunities enjoyed by the Ctoc,
taws and Chickasaws themselves, including
a forty acre farm, and the right of tribal
Suffrage The funny part of it is, that
while the negro, as negro, can claim the
benefit of the civil rights bill, as Chocsaw
be can't In becoming an Indian, one Of
the real original Jacobses, he ceases to he a
citizen of the United States, and gets be.

A WAR INcIDENr.-The following an
ecdote is now current in Florence: re-,.-
A ballet dancer at Venice, while dancing
at the theatre there, had boquet thrown to
her tied with a ribbon in the Italian eolors.
She Immediately kissed the ribbon, which
created tremendous enthusiasm among the
audience After the performance she was
called to the police Office, and sharply re.
primanded for this act Of patriotism. gs
She excused herself by saying that in
kissing the boquet she had only followed
the universal custom on such occasions; but
the authorities would not accept this ex
cuse, and told her that another time she
should not kiss the boquet, but tread it un'
der foot. The following evening another
boquet was thrown, and the dancer, in com.
pliance with her instructions, trod it under
foot again, amid frantic applause. The
ribbon round the boquet was, however, this
time not red, green and white ribbon, but
black and yellow-the colors of Austria.

DEATH OF INTANTs.-Those who have
Dever lost a child are unable to understand
how great void the death Of one little one
can make. There is, We think, nothing Oh
earth that can cast so long, and wide, and
black a shadow as a small coffin. 1t is
emphatioally the shadow of death which
freezes the parents heart.
Small as is an infants tomb, it sometimes
is oapacious enough to hold all the brightest
hopes and dearest joys of whole family
circle. The little child is often the bright
focus where all the rays of gladness in
household centre, and from which they are
reflected again over happy hearts; and when
this central light is eolipsed, great darkness

figured that he was scarcely to be recogni
zed, and his life, with that of the others, is
despaired of.
Some FreDchman of statistical turn
of mind, who evidently had but little to do,
publishes in a Havre paper some curious
statistics of the average talk of men and
women. He has discovered that an ordi.
nary middle.aged man spends three hours
per day in conversation, calculating at the
rate of one hundred words per minute, or
twenty-nine octave pages per hour, which
would amount to six hundred pages per
week, or fifty-two big volumes per year.
Having ascertained these facts as regards
the masculine portion of the human race,
the ststistioian applied his best energies to
ascertain the amount of words uttered by
an ordinary and middle aged female per-
minute, and the amount of time spent on
an average by that sex in general converse
tion. After the most patient investigation
and abstruse calculation, this able arithme-
tioian was compelled to give up the ques-
ton, and confess the magnitude of the fig
ures produced even at the outset of the in
quiry bafled all human calculation.

THE SITUATION.
"Black spirits and white,
Blue spirits and grey"

The President has returned from the extended
tour in the Northwest, and was received at Wash
ington with an imposing and appropriate welcome.
Hisjourney has been of mixed nature, and on
several occasions he was greeted with riotous and
indecorous conduct, especially at Indianapolis
The Radicals are rejoicing over the scenes enacted
and loudly claim that they are supported in their
wicked designs by the Western element.
Maine and Vermont have gone for the Radicals
by an overwhelming majority. This is no disap-
pointment, however, to the friends of the Presi-
dent, as these States were conceded to the oppos-
don.
The New York Herald, which has heretofore
firmly adhered to the President, has changed its
coat of many colors." II its issue of last FRI
day, the Herald pronouLces the restoration policy
Of the President failure, and says that his gen.
erous actions to the late revoted States have been
accepted by that people as covering license for
sanguinary outrage against the negroes and abo-
Ntionists, and that the ground swell which COM
menced in Maine will carry the whole country
against the Presidents policy. Either BENNETT
thinks the tide is in favor of the Radicals, or he
has received strong pecuniary argument in their
favor.
Altogether the signs of the times are not favOra-
ble to the extent we world desire. The enthusiasm
created by the Philadelphia Convention is now sub
siding, and we look with anxiety upon the politi-
celherizon for the dawn of peace and prosperity.
The moon will wax and wane only a few more
rounds ere the destiny of our country is known.
Trusting for the best and brightest, We can but
await the developments of time.
