Hindoo Bellies.

"The Hindoo women" says a writer
in Frdser's Magazine, attracted me
most 10y their graceful carriage, their
picturesque drapery, consisting of a full
skirt and a sort of burnous, which passes
over the head, almost completely veil
ing the face. These vary in color, being
sometimes blue and pink and yellow,
the skirt often bordered with hem OF
some other, often very gaudy, but the
dark skin harmonizes it all. The most
artistic, to my mind, is the deep indigo
blue, but it is more rare in the north
west than in southern India, where al
most all the lower classes of women
wear it. 1t is pleasant to watch the
easy grace with which they walk, bear

copper water-jar on their heads, steady.

small -wristed, dusky arm stretched uT

the elbow, and sometimes above il, with
numbers of bracelets. These are some
times silver, and oftener plated metal OF
red and green lace. ] once heard of q
school, the pupils of which were trained
to walk about with tumblers of cold
water on their heads; and when / saw
the firm-footed, easy grace of these bur
den-bearing women regretted that the
practice was not universal. The pale
faced race may perhaps pride itself on
its superiority in the use of the contents
Of its head, but these dusky daughters
Of the sun certainly outdo their more
favored sisters in the use they make OF
the outside of theirs. They carry
everything on their heads, jars Of water,
pieces of cloth, baskets of vegetables,
huge bundles of sugar-cane, fuel, any
thing and everything, leaving theiI
hands free for any additional burden.
They do not even carry their little black
babies in their arms, but either balance

their little hands on their mothers

WHAT MAKES A WOMAN.

Not costly dress nor queenly air;
Nor ieweled hand, complexion fair;
Nor graceful form, nor lofty tread;
Nor paint, nor curls, nor splendid head;
Not pearly teeth nor sparkling eyes;
Nor voice that nightingale outvies;
Nor gaudy gems, nor fabrics fine;
Nor breath as sweet as eglantine;
Not all the stores OF Fashions mart:
Nor yet the Establishments OF art;
Not one nor all of these combined
Can make one woman true, refined.
'Tis not the casket that we prize,
But that which in the casket lies;
These outward charms that please the sight
Are naught unless the heart be right.
She, to fulfill her destined end,
Must with her beauty goodness blend;
Must make IL her incessant care
To deck herself with jewels rare;
Ofprieeless gems must be possessed;
In robes OF modest beauty dressed;
But these must clothe the inward part,
Adorn and beautify the heart
For virtue, truth and modest worth
Are richest ornaments of earth;
She who doth all these goods combine
Can mans rough nature well refine
Hath all she needs in this frail life,
To fit for mother, sister, wifei
He who possesses such friend
Should cherish well till life doth end.
Woman, in fine, the mate should be,
To sail with man DER LIES rough sea:
And when the stormy cruise is DER,
Attend him TO fair Canaan's shore.

Perfect, who was hung for the murder
of his wife at Joliet on the 10Th ult., was

ANEcDoTE OF GREELEY.-An anec-
dote of Greeley enlivened Mrs. Lille
Deveraux Blake's argument before the
Judiciary Committee of the New York
Assembly, the other day. She wished
to illustrate by it the proposition that a
strong man did not always play the role
of protector of his fellow-sister. And
this is the story: On a certain occa-
sion, when Mr. Greeley was quite a
young man, and lived in a country in
Tested by wild animals, he went calling
on q distant neighbor late one after
noon. After spending an hour or two
in delightful social intercourse, he re-
ceived an intimation from the head of
the house that it was time for him to
turn his steps homeward. Horace
seemed loath to act upon the advice
given him, and, with that frankness
which always characterized him, blunt
ly confessed that, as his path home lay
through piece of wolf-infested woods,
he was afraid to go. At which the
farmers two buxOm and bouncing
daughters volunteered to see Horace
home, and, their guardianship being
accepted, did actually accompany their
guest to the threshold of his own home.

Dark shore and deSOlate sky
UnQuickened by a star;
Sad sea where wondering sails are los
In night afar!
No human presence sweet,
Nor other sound beside,
Save that 10 silence near akin
The ebbing tide.
Only n lonely wreck.
High on the lonely beach,
Whose hopelessness defies at last
The breakers reach.

Each broken spar!

CROSSING THE RIVER.
A Quarrel Among Ferrymen-
Three men Killed in q Minute,

For years the travel from West and
Middle Tennessee and South Kentucky
to Missouri and Northern Arkansas has
been via Nails ferry crosses the Missis-
sippi river from Darnell's landing to Point
Pleasant on the opposite Missouri shore.
This is the only available crossing point
between Memphis and Cairo, and in con-
sequence is largely patronized. Old
Squire Robert Nall had the ferry for a
long term Of years, but Of late has turned
it over to his son Albert.
Not long ago, Gen. H. M. Darnell. from
whom the landing takes its name, and who
is a large planter, thought the ferry busi-
ness good investment, and accordingly
started one of his own in opposition to
Nalrs. The general employed two broth
ers named Coe and a young man named
Cole to run the terry for him. Both fer
ries have run along smoothly, the Nall
ferry, perhaps, doing the most business.
Last Saturday afternoon large party
of movers from this State came to the
ferry for the purpose Of transportation.
Mr.. Nall succeeded in engaging passage,
when one of the Coe brothers came over
to Nails boat and offered additional in
ducements to the movers to take his boat.
This caused a quarrelin the course of
which Nall and Coe indulged in several
harsh epthets. No blows were passed,
however
Gen. Darnell lives within short dis
tance of the ferry, and hearing the wrang-
ling, came down to the boat. When he
learned what was the matter, he turned to
Coe and said:" Why don't you kill the
id s-n of q b-hP" This led to an
alteration between Nall and the general,
which resulted in the former drawing q
pistol and shooting the general, the ball
striking in the left breast near the heart,
and ranging d6wnwards. When the gen.
efal fell, the man Cole. who had come up
by that time, drew his pistol and firing
brought young Nall to the ground. While
on the ground. Nall raised his revolver,
and taking a coolaim dropped Cole dead
in his tracks. Then Coe, the man with
whom he had first had q dispute, pulled
his pispol and, shooting Nall where he Jay,
killed him. This ended the tragedy Mr.
Nall and Cole killed and GEM Darnel
rnortally wounded. and in all probability
dead ere this. 81 ys-.ftsti. l,..,,1
Gen. Darnell is q gentleman of about
slxty-five years of age, a man Of large
property and unbounded hospitality. lie
had very vindictive temper, and when
ouce aroused it was uncomfortable, and
has figured in several deadly feuds. He
leaves a large family. ~ u''
Mr.. Albert Nall, as stated, was son Of
Squire Robert Nall. an old and highly es-
teemed citizen OF Lake county. He was a
man of about thirty years, and leaves q
family. The Goes and Cole were but lit
tie known. q q .NN' ~
