We have learned from Mr.. F. A. Moore the de
tails Of singular affair exhibiting the devotion Of
the Indian mother for her children, as well as the
determined resolution and oIclsm Of the Indian
when suffering from an injury.
A few days since Wau.ne-pe-winka Pretty
Bird), daughter of Dandy, head chief of the Win
nebago nation. was at the depot at La Crosse &C
companied by her two fatherless children. While
wslting the arrival of the train of the Chi dren

train was tadng the depot. Seeing Its danger,
the mother, regardless OF her own life, sprang for
ward and snstched the child from the very jaws
of death. She threw the little one upon the plat.

ing locomotive caught her blanket. and threw her
upon the track. The wheels caught her foot. ran
oyer it. crushing the bone to atoms tearing of
the flesh. and making frightful wound. The
bone up to the knee was spntered.
Such an injury could not but be excrucatngly
painful, yet the Indian mother with wonderful
nerve, drew her knife from her belt and eating off
the loosely hanging flesh. washed the limb aud
bound il up with her own hands, refusing all as.
sistance. Mr.. Moore says that not feature Of
her countenance denoted the intence agony she
must have suffered during the operation.
A physician of La Crosse, arriving at the depot
and examining the injury, said that the foot must
be taken of at once to the life of the woman,
but the Indian put n decided veto. declared th at
il should not be amputated. and asserted that she
would prefer death TO being deprived Of a limb.
The operation she cared nothing about, as those
VINO witnessed ner herOlsm were wen convinced,
hut the idea Of losing limb was so repugnant to
her Indian nature that she refused, and efforts
could induce her to submit.
The same evening at her own request, the In

now lies. she has been carefully attended by

Her father, who is encamped with some of his
tribe near the Wisconsin visited her on Sunday,
and after listening to the story, looking at the in
jury, and coolly watching her situation, applauded
her decision with grunt and nod OF APPRECIATION.

Into thy hands, my God, l gladly fall,
ResigDiDg there my life my will, my all;
Do as thou wilt, o Lord, for am thine
Whatever thy bles; will is also mine.
Into thy hands, my God; for there at length,
Through my poor weakness shall / fnd thy
strength;
Thy grace shall triumph over all my sin,
And Christs dear blood shall make me pure within
Into thy hands, my God-those ht nds OF love,
Which sweety reached and drew me from above !;
Those bands which countess daily mercies give,
Those hands by which every moment live.
Into thy hands, my God-my Fathers hands
Near them living Saviour pleading stands.
Oh, love! He pleads for mellow can fear
With such Father, such Saviour, near!
In thy dear hands, my God, there let me rest;
Send pain OF sickness II thou seest best;
Do as thou wilt-thy love cannot doubt,
For perfect love casts fear and sadness out.
Safe in thy hands, my God, a little child,
j look 10 thee through Jesus reconciled;
j dare, for his dear sake, 10 call thee mine;
For this sweet bliss would all else resgn.
Into thy hands, my God, cast my will;
Bid every murmuring, restless thought he still;
Ny only wish, while on the narrow road,
Tranquil TO lie in thy dear hands, my God.

Fossil HUMAN SKUJL.-In a late meeting Of
savans at Chicago, Prof. J. d. Whitney presented
a piece Of human skull found in California. IL
consisted of a section comprising the face, and
running disgOnslly across as to include one ear
cavity. The upper and back portion Of the skull
were lost, as was one side. With the skull were
exhibited several bones from other portions Of the
human body, which we're found 10 connection
with the skull. The professor proceeded to dis
cuss the evidence as to its position in the rocks,
and concluded that the skull hsdreally been found
in such position to warrant the belief that the
lava strata above it had been deposited since the
skull had found its place there. 10 the Skull vas
found a snail, belonging to genus now in exist
ence in the Sierra Nevada mountains, and In the
mouth was a bone with a hole in il, as II II had
been used as an ornament. From his investiga'
tons, the professor inferred that the superlocum-
bent Of tracbytie ashes and gravel alternate
layers, which was above the skull. belonged TO
the pocene or pot pliocene epoch Of geology,
which indicates much greater antiquity for m 40
than has usually been assigned to him. IL places
bis creation anterior 10 the glacial epoch. AMI to
the closing era of the volcanic eruptons in Cali
fornis. The time that has elapsed since the depo-
sition Of the skull cannot be stared in years. An
approximation can only be ciphered out by
srcheologists and geolOgists after long study Of
the circumstances connected with its deposition.
