INDIAN WOMEN. The unmarried ladies
of the Moquis tribe of Indians of Arizona,
are a curiosity to US outside heathens.
They wear there hair in such a romantic
style that their is no danger Of fellow
installing one for married woman. As
soon as they are manageable they do
their hair up on each side of the head,
something in the shape of two great
wings, or, as it most reminds one, of the
wheels OF a propeller. The dear creatures
look as if they we're just ready to fly. AS
soon as they enter the holy bands of mat
rimony they drop their wings, and then
their hair hangs in long rolls by the side
of their head.

Most interesting, perhaps, to the general public,

now charged by the Telegraph Companies. For
all distances under two hundred and fifty miles,
the cost of sending ten words will be twenty-five

NOT TO BE INSISTED UPON.

The extreme pressure of his friends upon Mr.
Colfax, to induce his renewed sacrifice upon the
chair of official honor, is all wrong. Mr.. Colfax
announced, quite a long time ago, his positive,
irrevocable, unalterable, final, decision to with
draw from public life. and u ask that he shall
once more renounce this dearest hope, and most
cherished object, of his existence, ID demand
which cannot be justly made of any one. 1t is
diflicult we admit, to administer the government
without Mr.. Colfax his labors in behalf Of the
public good, and for the general welfare, have
been continuous, conspicuous, and of the high
est Importance; but yet. it is unreasonable to
insist on his performing duties which he desires
to decline, and it is wrong TO ask him to do what
he gave lis word he would not.

THE SITUATION AT ALBANY.
From the N. Y. Herald

There is now but little doubt that the Alyord
men and the democrats will strike hands in both
houses for the remainder of the session, and tile
result may be curious one SO far as the city of
New York is concerned. 1t is very certain that
the charter Of the Committee Of Seventy will find
but little favor in Albany and it will not be sur
prisingif the action of the Legislature inreation
to our municipal affairs should be confined TO the
amendment of the present charter in ono or two
particulars, with but little interference with
existing officers, at the present moment at least.
The Greeley and Hank Smith republicans appear
to have the upper hand, and it is possible that
before the close Of the session they may have
secured sufficient power in New York to insure
the restoration to power of their original organi-
