sage in six and half days. Although
considerably damaged by the earth
quake, she leaks but very little.
The earthquakes were of frequent
occurrence from November Is up to
the time the De Soto sailed, but
they were not of great violence.
The principal damage was caused
by the first one, which shook the
buildings to pieces, and the smaller
ones which followed only served to
knock down the remaining few that
resisted the first shock.
The De Soto's bottom was tempo

A correspondent of the. Richmond

Valley that the farmers have solved
the labor problem as we long ago
advised them to do, by going to work
themselves, and taking the personal
oversight of such hands as they have
to hire He also says that the
breadth of ground sown. with wheat
in the Valley, as well in Fauquier,
Warren, Rappahannock and other
neighboring counties, is greater. and
that the crops promise to. be better
than before. The season is backward
for corn, but the farmers are making

Natives OF NalruSsia.

The savage tribes who are natives
of the extreme northwestern coast of
America, are comprised uDderit the
generic name of Kaloohes.u .Ths-Kal.
oches of Sitka recognize as the found
er of their race, a man who they called
Elkh, who dwelt under the especial
favor and protection of the crow, a
bird whom they worship as the first
cause of all things. What created the
crow, or what gave that interesting
black bird such power, the Kaloches
profess ignorance, and they dispose of
the question by the customary ans
wer In such cases-i.e. that it was so
ordained from the beginning. They
have also the tradition of an universal
deluge, from which their ancestors
were saved by some escaping IL. boats
to the tops ofthe highest mountains.
The Kaloches believe that the soul
exists after death, but without being
subject either to reward or punish
ment. They have. few. religious OBJ
servances, but human sacrifices forms
one of them. The victims are always
slaves, and the only slaves in Russian
America are ,captives taken in war.
The master has plenary power of life
and death over his slaves, and cruelty
! toward their enemies is a disgusting
feature of all these savage tribes. in
the minds of most. of them, every
stranger is regarded as an enemy
The whole education Of these. sava-
ges from birth is aimed at the sole
end of terrifying their bodies to en-
ydure every species of hardship. IF
they feel COX, they are stripped ma
ked and seated in a tub sofwater-
Sometimes the KaIoches are foundin
winter, in the depths of the forest,
sleeping around a. fire, one side nearly
roasted, while the other is covered
with frost. They are of a phlegmatic
temperament, despise death, and are
brave-t to the verge of desperation in
battle.4 In the ordinary affairs of life
they are INDECENT and careless. They
marry without priest or ceremony,
and the richer men have as many as
four or five wives apiece. The chief
art practiced among them issthe build
ingsof canoes, In which they are much
skilled They are great lovers 3 of
feasts; and this means among them,
eating gluttonous quantity of food,
and following it up with a dance. 1t
is their custom to burn the bodies of
their dead, at a great funeral held in
the presence of the weeping relatives
of the departed. III u lfJ q tss0
