Districts In thc-c districts niarriaia
women are few and far between, except in
deed the pure Indian Women, who FORMERLY
were considered good enough to- -ati-iy the
f,ncics Of the gentlemen of the service.
Since the Red River District, however,
as been settled by Europeans, Canaiiln,
and half-breed-, there are many fair white
and halfhrccd women to be found more suit
able To the fancies of Tire gentlemen og the
northern districts, and their tastes have
therefore undergone change They will
not degrade themselves now i,v marrying
with the pure Indians but generally send
down word to some friend residing in the
settlemen, that they are in want of Il wife,
and beg him to select one Ia the iv-St of hi,

We copy the following from the Galveston
(Texas) Ntrs, Of the la instant:
The people in the country are scared hall
out Of their wits, and have succeeded in mud
ding matters badly. The trains that left at
10 O'Clock yesterday took up about 400 pas
senger. About 200 left at Harrisburg, and
went out on the Buffalo, Bayou, BRACES 4
Colorado Railroad.
The remainder went to the corporate
limits If Houston, where the scene was
sOlemnly funny; detachment Of militia,
with shot guns and bludgeOns, waved their
red flag and commanded the train to stop.
The militia demanded what he was doing
there? Conductor Cross made the sensible
reply that he was running train, and not
the quarantine. He wanted to run through.
'NO, he could not" Cross was amiable,
il they would let him run to the table and
turn, he would take his Bible oath to burn
coal AZ disinfectant. No, he should not go
in If he run forty miles an hour. The funny
part was, that while Cross was disputing
with the military authorities Of Houston, his
passengers scattered in all directions, and
entered Houston by forty different streets.
Some even mounted the mail wagon and
sat on the mail bags to disinfect them as they
Travelled to the Post Office. Not more than
ten or twelve returned 70 Galveston; these
did so because they did not know what to do,
We presume that many Of those who intended
going beyond on the Central succeeded in
doing 20. Those who did not
will have the proper portion of their
money returned on presenting their tickets
at the railroad ticket Office. Conductor
Gross behaved with great coolness and judg
ment in the whole matter, was courteous and
tolerant to all. He came down from Hous-
ton after the fashion in which Governor
Davis SAYS he went at his legislature, "butt
end foremost" He was not allowed to turn
his locomotive. 1t is impossible to say pre-
cisely in what manner the freight is situa-
ted.
The Houston Direct Navigation Company
sent up eight hundred tons on Thursday
night. There are fory-ive cars at this
depot loaded chiefly with groceries. These
are neeled in the country. The Diana will
proceed to Harrisburg and lay up to-day.
In the meantime Conductor Gross will start
his train to-day, and run it as far as he is
able.

How to Carve.

Aithough it is daily duty for many men
and women to cut up meat for family,
there are multitudes who do it neither we'll
nor wise. The following suggestions, from
al agricultural paper, on this point, may
not be out of place, the more especially to
young housekeepers;
To carve fowls, which should ALWAYS be
laid with the breast uppermost, place the
fork in the breast, and take off the wings
and legs without turning the fowl then cut
out The merry thought; cut slices from the
breast, cut out the collar bone, cut out the
side pieces, and then cut the carcass is two
Divide the joints in the leg of turkey.
Ia carving sirloin, cut thin slices from
the side next you 1T must be put on the
dish with the tenderloin underneath), J, then

By cutting across the middle to the bone.
Cut tongue across, and not lengthwise

Carve forequaser of lamb by separating
the shoulder from the ribs.
To carve loin of veal, begin at the
smaller end, and separate the ribs. RAlp

Carve pork and mutton in the same way.
To carve fllet Of veal, begin at the top,

In carving pig, it is customary to divide
il aud take of the head before it comes to
tue table, as to many persons the head is
revolving. Cut off the limbs and divide the
ribs
In carving venison, make deep incision

the broad end toward you, cutting deep ano
