From Salt Lake Correspondent
The Shoshone Indians, whose country
stretches from the sink of the Humboldt
to Salt Lake, have seen the advantages
accruing TO them from the railroad, and
have not been slow to appreciate them
and avail themselves of them | saw at
one station a party of Mrs. and Misses
Lo, crouching in the dirtbeside the track.
There were two representative youths
among them, buck and doe,
And both were young.
And both was beautiful,
after the aboriginal type. She had COW
cred the budding charms of her bosom
with an old black cloth vest, turned
wrong side outward and buttoned up at
the back instead of in front, and an old
hoop-skirt; under that dilapidated un-
der-shirt hid, in part, her lower extremi-
ties, the interregnum being partially
filled by miners leather revolver-belt,
with which she was clothed in humble
imitation of her white sisters from the far
East, until she could hardly breathe.
An ancient balmoral gaiter, of patent
leather and prunella, adorned one foot,
and number ten pegged cowhide boot
of the masculine pattern covered the
other, and gave her, by reason of its
higher heel trodden over on one side, the
true Alexandra limp" when she walked.
He stood silent and wrapped in contem-
plation of the progress of civilization
and the future Of his race, or more prob
ably of the chances of dead-head ride
to the next station, and an opportunity
to pick up some articles of clothing, new
or secondhand, left within his reach by
the unsophisticated travellers. She, on
the other hand, looked up at the car
windows and necessarily repeated, Give
me two bits Give me crackers Give
me orangesl" /" A fat grasshopper jumped
upon her head as she thus sat with over
stretched arm and upturned face, and
without materially changing her position
she nipped him instanter, pulled off his
head as you would shrimp's, then
quietly transferred him to the capacious
cavity in her fine open countenance, and
with quiet determination closed her
graceful jaws. | wonder if Fair Alta
retta" liked grasshoppers, wore hooped
skirts, and had the Alexandria limp2
These Shoshones are the LATEST and best
natured dogs on earth. They do not
even possess skill, or knowledge or am
bition enough to build any kind of
permanent shelter from the inclemency
of the weather at any season. At mid
winter they will go out on the hillside, in
a driving snow-storm, pile up a lot of
sage brush in semi-circle, say three
feet high and ten feet across, to break
the wind, and building fire in the cen
ter, crouch down by yit-men, women and
naked babies-and shiver there all night
long. They are allowed to ride back and
forth on the freight cars, and the loco
motives and tenders of the passenger
trains, and evidently regard the railroad
as just wnat it is-a perfect godsend to
them, since it puts them out of the way
Of starvation and assures them living
without even the pretense of labor.

An EIoouent creek orator.

We find the following description of
an eloquent Athenian priest in DIR. God
wins letter to the Chicago Advance:
The chief sensation of Athens Just
now is priest named Dionysius Latos,
and among the mummeries dinning the
ear on every side during these festivities
it was refreshing to find one service that
was an exception. This young priest
was originally one Of the candle-snufers,
lad of no education, and with no APP
parent gifts, except fine rich voice
Promoted because of this to assist in the
chorals, he somehow obtained leave to
talk or preach, and astonished every one,
and greatly captivated the people by his
eloquence. He speedily acquired wide
notoriety, and won many warm friends
Among them was rich Athenian, who
proposed to him to spend three years in
the schools of Germany and France, at
his expense, He accepted the offer,
spent the time in diligent application,
and has just returned, and is creating
the highest enthusiasm.
/ went on Friday morning to hear
him preach and found the church liter
ally packed. And the Greek churches
having no seats admit of such crowd
ing as is entirely unknown to American
audiences. There was no getting near
the main entrance, the throng extending
into the street. / found side door,
however, to the women's gallery, and
there at last succeeded, by climbing upon
pile Of boards, in getting a view of the
preacher and his congregation. Below /
me. was a sea of mems faces all upturned |
toward man of fine intellectual fea-
tures, and searching dark eyes, and who |
in the black gown and round brimless
hat or high stif fez of Greek priest,
stood in pulpit projecting from one of
the columns near the middle of the 4
church. ] was impressed at once with /
the esF1estness Of the preachers face
and manner There was that in the
kindling of the eye, the tGne Of the
voice and the sweep of the hand even,
that witnessed Enthusiastically to the
preachers deep conviction Of the truth
and importance Of his words One could
not look and listen without conscious
sympathy In response. II would haye
been no common privilege to hear the
language Of Socrates and Den0sthsRes
sr>leH, and that in their own Athens
with the distinctness and grace and fer
vor which marked the speakers utter
spee, Certainly there was rhythm and
music and FiohHrss about il that had
never imagined, and that seemed 70

Condition OF fthe Ex.Empress of Mex
fcO-A Touching Scene.

.
Paris Cor. of the London Court Journal.l
At Brussels the premiere communion
of the Princess Louise has been the great
event. The young Princess has just at
tanned her twelfth year, and is considered
the living likeness of her aunt The
Empress is in dying state, but no omis-
sion was made in her case to the usage
indispensable in all Catholic countries of
seeking benediction from every one of
the family upon the juvenile members
who are about to enter the bosom of the
Church by receiving the Holy Sacrament
for the first time The occasion is one
of greater ceremony than even wedding
or a christening, and offers the opportu-
nifty of reconciliation and forgiveness, of
renewal of ties which have been neg
lected, and formation of new ones to
which Indifference has been hitherto ex-
pressed. Even the poor Empress, as if
under sudden inspiration, kas been made
to understand that ceremony of impor-
tance was about to occur, and by sim
gular instinct she insisted on rising from
her bed and attiring herself in her favor
ite dress--a sort of pardessus of white
silk, trimmed with black lace = and
putting on her most beloved ornaments
to welcome her young relative. Many
presents had been prepared-for it is
the custom always to bestow some me-
mento of the day upon the new commH
nicdRte-and the poor Empress sat in
her armchair, propped up with pillows,
awaiting with childish iinpatienpe the
entrance of her little niece. The red
morocco case containing the necklace
and earrings she was to bestow upon |
her visitor was ready in her hand A |
smile Of Consciousness played over her 1
features as the step Of the child was /
heard TO approach. For moment did /
her attendants, nay even the doctor. |
