most Of his finest works, are all on
the first floor; but as we ascend
the broad marble staircase, we
come, on the first landing, to the
colossal and majestic statue of
"Jason with the Golden Fleece" "
famous as having first attracted
the attention OF the world, and
from the completion Of which his
fortunes suddenly changed. This
gigantic statue, which is twelve
and q half feet high, was carved
from a solid block Of Venetian
marble, it is said, took four oxen
to haul from the quarry to the
place of expectation!
The rooms on the second floor
about thirty-fve in number
contain a fine and extensive COL
lection Of statuettes, paintings,
bronzcs, casts, ct cetera; besides
a very valuable cabinet Of Egyp-
tian, Grecian and Roman coins.
In the last of the rooms visited, is
shown the furniture of Thorwald-
sens sitting room, arranged in
exactly the same manner as when
he last used it. Besides the fur
aiture, it contains several portraits
Of his family, q bust of Martin
Luther-by himself-thc unfin-
ishcd design Of his 'Daabcns En-
gcl," which was intended, as he
said, to be the ehefd'0eucre Of all
his work, and two beautiful bas-
relieEs -"Thetis dipping Achilles
in the river Styx," and "Alcxan-
der Scdnccd by IhalS 10 ourn Jhe
palace in Purccpolis." Near the
design of his last work stands his
little bronze clock, pointing to 6
o'clock and 10 minutes P. NJ, the
precise hour that summoned the
soul of this, one Of the greatest
sculptors of modern times, before
the presence Of its Maker.
In my next, l will make q few
remarks on the University, the
theatres, amusements and social
life in Copenhagen.

Another Outrage on the In
dianS.

The Indians Of Alaska have
been lately undergoing course OF
instruction and civilization at the
hands of some of our military rep
resentatives which can hardly fail
to impress them with a profound
reverence for our principles Of JUS
tice and mercy. I'm the Indian
village of WrangeE, Alaska, a
drunken Indian bit a woman's fin
ger. Lieutenant Loucks, second
officer in command Of our military
post, took twenty armed soldiers,
entered the Indians hut at mid
night, and ordered the soldiers to
fire. There were two indians and
their wives in the cabin. "Per-
haps there was some Others" says
the Lieutenant; but that is not a
matter Of much consequence. A
few Indians more or less don't
count in a battle Of that kind.
The soldiers fired, and tho orlgl-
nal Indian offender was killed.
The Indian village became reused
md excited, and a. relative OF the
slain Indian killed a white man.
Thereupon the commander of the
post, Lieutenanant Borrows, or
dered the bombardment Of the
whole village, with its population
of sos souls, Of whom $40. were
women and children. The village
is described in the report of the
Indian Commissioners to the
President as "nade up Of we'll

his conduct in the premises has
been such as to show him unwor-

dcmned as conduct unworthy OF

Is this corrupt man, who was
unworthy Of a seat three months

waldsen's Museum, which is one
of the principal sights in the Capt.
tai.
This Museum was built by sub
scription to contain the works OF
Thorwaldsen, which he had given
to his native city. 1t is in the
form Of a paraIlclogram, and in
the court in the centre, by his
own request, was built tomb to
contain his remains, which were
deposited there 9th Sept, 1S4S- -
thus making his Museum, likewise
his NaUSoleum.
Thorwaldscn Was the son Of q
ship carpenter from Iceland, and
was born in Copenhagen, l77O.
1t an early age he acquired a pas
sion Cor drawing, which soon led
him to Rome: where he became a
pupil Of the great Canova. lie

A HEAVENLY TUB OF A MAN.
The Cincinnati "Gazette" says of
Rev. DR.. Arnot, Of Edinburgh,
who attended the recent Presby-
terian Assembly at Philadelphia ::
1t is hard to describe this glorious,
blessed, heavenly tub Of a man !
Imagine a man about as thick as
he is tall, so that whether he
stands up, sits up, rolls up, leans
up, side or feet, no matter which,
he is always about the same
height. Think Of him as slow;
steady, heavy, funny, witty, 'sol-
cmn, smiling, twinkling, serious
and gay, brim-full Of feeling and
pathos, with a voice somewhat
drawling and nasal, yet impress
i've and powerful in its cvangeli-
cal correctness and love, with eye
brows shaggy as the cliffs of his
native land, and hair dark gray,
approaching white-a man who
waddles when he walks, and min
giles the bag-pipc strain with the
loving notes Of his cordial saluta:
tions to you a man simple and
unsophisticated as q child, with
intellect fine and heart tender as
babes, and you have a faint pic
ture of the last speaker Of the
evening. We cannot detail his
speech. 1t was a model OF apt
ness, simplicity, beauty, and pro
priety. He is full of illustration.
The calf story, the force pump,
the cloud, the stagnant pool, the
bubbling spring, the Judgment
none who heard them from bis
lips vill ever forget them. Se7e-
raj times he convulsed the au-
dicnce with laughter in his drawl-
ing and witty way, and again
moved them to tears by his gen,
tie and gushing love. Dear old
man all hearts love thee! Late
may YOU return to the skies

the inhabitants years of hard Ia
Dor to build up with their primi-
tive tools, ornamented with car

with curious imagery, and provi.
ded outside end in with many OF

continuously from two o'clock un-

son had been given to a popula-
ton who, so far as we can per-
ceive, had no more to dc with the
killing of the white man or the
original offense than anybody in
New York has. This, at least, is
the substance Of the report made
by the Indian Commissioners to
the Government; and we should
like to know whether this is the
sort of policy by which we pro-
pose to bring the indians within
the pale Of civilization and hu-
mainly? Biting a finger is pun
ished by death. The crime OF an
individual is avenged by the bonn
bardment of a village. And yet
these Indians do not believe that
we are just and merciful, and
