A PARIS correspondent writes " / have

which two Russian noblemen and favorite
Partisan actress play the principal parts.-
Both of the Boyards were sutors for the
fair lady's smiles, and both seemed to be
equally esteemed by her. 1t would appear
that in Russia. as we'll as in many other
countries, a lock of hair is considered sig

the gossper, if the truth must be told, only
few of our theatrical divinties are eudow-

the incessant demand for lock of their bair
would soon exhaust the SUPPLY. Mademoi-
selle Alice glories in the possession of
auburn ringlets, and wouldn't part with one
of them for less than duchy. Her Russian
admirers, the Count de L., and the Baron
de NJ, both happen to have hair of the same
golden hue as that of their mutual Dulcinea.
Each begged for tress of her hair in ex-
change for lock Of his own. to which the
charming creature readily assented, and
without touching single curl of her own

NEW ORLEANS.
The Late Storm on the Rio Grande-
TWenty-six Persons Killed at Mat
amOraS-SchOOner Blown Ashore
ReprehenSfble Conduct Of Negro
Soldiers, &c.

New ORLEANS, October 28.-The
P5cdyane has the following advices,
which confirm the destructive effects
of the late storm upon the Rio
Grande. The hurricane was the most
terrible within the memory of man.
A bombardment for a year could
hardly. have done as much
damage as happened from this one
storm. Twenty-six persons were
killed at Matamoras, and ten killed
Brazos, SO far as known, twelve per-
sons perished. Two sehooners were
blown ashore. Only two houses were
left standing at Clarksville, and none
at Bagdad. The loss of life In the
latter place is not known Ninety of
the inhabitants escaped by going on
board a vessel which rode out the
storm. The rest have persisted.
The negro soldiers and their officers
at Brazos are said to have acted infa-
mously. They not only refused all as
sistance to the struggling and suffer
ing families, but retired to the shell
tered part of the island, and the SOL
diers returned next day to rob the
wrecked goods under the remains of
the warehouses and dwellings. One
of them was shot and killed by a
citizen who detected him in robbing.
Their officers, it is said, did
nothing to check their brigandism.
From the long list of damages at
Brownsville we extract the following /:
King IL Kennedy's warehouse, roof
blown off and the building very badly
damaged. The County Court House
and Jail were completely destroyed,
and the prisoners are all at large.
The entire square surrounded by
Lower Fort Brown, Fourteenth,
Levee and Elizabeth Streets
were destroyed, including Ran
cher's Office and the Masonic Hall.
The Courier Office has the roof off
The residence of w. J. Stark, cores
pondent of the New Y ork Herald, was
completely destroyed; the Custom
House wall is blown down; the Pres
byterian church is destroyed; the
Post Office building roof was blown
off; the hotel and elegant billiard sa-
loon of Mr.. Miller is almost a ruin
the iron building of Welken, Hey Il
Co is totally destroyed. Between
Tenth and First Streets seven brick
and four frame houses were either to-
tally destroyed or so badly injured as
to be uninhabitable. In Matamoras
800 houses were blown down. The
greatest distress and want prevails at
al points, and appeals have been
made for relief. Out of seven steam
ers, only two can be repaired.
New ORLEANS, Oct. q. = There
were ten deaths from yellow fever
yesterday, and sixteen to-day. No
frost yet. Absentees are cautioned
to remain away short time yet.

Treaty with the Indians-Wh hat They
Are Allowed.

ST. LOUIS, October 28.-The treaty
made by the Indian Commissioners
with the Kiowas and the Camanche
tribes, on the 21st inst, gives them
about 900 square miles, or three and
half million acres of land, embraced
between the north fork of the Red
River and the Red River, beginning
at the intersection of the Both paral-
lei with the 9th meridian, and en-
bracing the southwestern corner of
the present Indian Territory, with a
fraction from Texas. The tribes are
now estimated at 1000 persons or
about 800 lodges. This land will
therefore give them not less than 800
acres for each man, woman and child.
It is also provided that these tribes
shall induce their brethren, the Ca
manches of northern Texas, to come
and live with them, and if. they sue
ceed the United States viii enlarge
their reservation by adding a. fquan-
tity of land sufficient to give each per-
son three hundred and twenty acres.
IF the remaining Camanehes can be
induced to come in, this leaves a
large section of country. on the Texas
frontier, and opens up way for civil
izing a once powerful and rowing
band on this reservation, where sew
eral bands of Camanches are already
farming. 1t is proposed to build an
agency house, warehouse and other
buildings for teacher, farmer, mil
Ter, physician, &C., and that these per-
sons be furnished to them, to live on
the reservation and aid the Indians.
In lieu of the annuities provided
under the treaty Of 1865, it is pro-
posed to give each Indian on the
reservation annually suit of cloth
ing, consisting of coat, pantaloons,
hat, and socks. In addition to this
S25, 900 annually is to be given in
such articles as the Indians may most
need. Several other provisions are
made to furnish seeds and agricultu-
raj implements to such persons as
may commence farming. The Indians
agree to let all railroads be built, and
especially the Smoky Hill and Platte
