APecuiIar Race in siberia.

letter from one of Professor Nordenskjolj's
assistants, recently published in various Scan
dinavian papers, gives an interesting account
of the Tshundi, peculiar race lnhabiting tho
northeastern part of Siberia. They look very
much like the Greenlanders, are small but
alert, have n brownish.yellow skin, with coal
black eyes and hair, and singular, joyess,
almost frozen expression of tho face. They
live in tents, dress in skins and feed on seal
flesh. Their women are tattooed in the face. In
their intercourse with the crew of the Vega
they were n little shy, but curious like pen.
gums, and willing to help. Their moral ideas
were rather naif, but firmly adhered to as far
as they went. OF their language dictionary
Enthusiastically has been made, comprising
about three hundred words and it will, nc
doubt, prove of interest to the linguists, rs the
tongues of the Polar races have hitherto been
as great puzzle to the philologists as those Of
the negroes of tropical Africa.

Sarah Winnemucca, the Prtte prin-
cess, is expected in this CITY this week,
on the arrival OF the steamer from Port
land. She will be met here by her
brother Naches, son of old Winnie
nuces. Naches is the executive chief
of the Piute tribe, his father being ssS-
perannuated. The princess Sarah is as
smart as knife, but has the failings
usual to Indians who have become civ
ilized. She was educated im tbs State
and speaks English fuently and with
correct accent She has of late been
teaching school at the Yakima reserva-
ton. She has had FIVE or six white
husbands, from whom she has been di-
vorced by the easy-2ong divorre laws
of her tribe. The reporters will have
aD opportunity of interviewing Sarah
and Naches and OF being told more lies
in a given space of time than even one
Of themselves coold accomplish
The above from the San Francisco
Stock Report is correct except that the
princess sallie aud Naches are not the
children OF WinneHucca, and one of her
husbands was white man, Lieutenant
Bartlett, who was at one time stationed
at Camp McDerlnit and was deserted
by the Princess in Salt Lake WHITTIER
she accompanied him. We believe Bart
lett was Discharged from the army in
consequence Of his relations With Salhe,
She is coming here on visit TO her
tribe for the purpose, it is said, of pre-
vailing on them TO go tor Malhear reser~

banners. The exercises consisted of
singing, recitations, dialogues, ETC., by
