The Amiable PiuteS.

The Piutes name their infants after
the first object that attracts the infants
attention : hence Sarah's beautiful name
-Sonometa-the shell flower, the first
object she noticed.
Fremonts company were the first
white men the Piutes had ever beheld.
Sarah remembers peepinS round her
mother to get glimpse of them. a
wise old fellow pronounced them "Glant-
owls with hair on their faces This
caused such CONSERVATION among the
sons and daughters of the forest that
they fled IN terror.
They carried the pappooses until over
come by fatigue, when the mothers re-
sorted to an original measure for secur-
ing the safety of their offspring. They
scooped hollows in the abundant sand,
and, laying the babies in these holl0ws,
covered them with sand up to their
faces, arranged shade Of willows over
their heads and left them with the part
ing injunction to keep quiet, Sarah says,
"snd we did keep quiet until the next
day." when the Aceingo party,
recovered from its fright, re-
turning to "dicker" with the ''hairy-
faced owls" took the babies out Of their
sand beds. Fremont's visit to this
camp resulted in Sarah's grandfather,
who had abdicated in favor Of her
father, accompanying Fremont to
Mexico, and finally, in her whole family
finding their way to California and civ
iization.
Upon his return from Mexico,
Grandfather" WiAnemucca brought
with him an old gun, bright tin plate,
with opposite holes through the edge
and strings tied through these holes so
that it might be worn as hat-of course,
this made a very fiat hat--and world
of knowledge contained in four words
Of English which he had learned.
On gala days Winnemucca brought
ont these treasures for exhibition. He
first allowed each brave to tie the hat
upon his head and ride out on his pony
where all the multitude saw him. This
ceremony completed, the plate was re-
TUNED to its owner, who seated on an
elevation with his gun across his knees,

Before their generalization by the
whites, Sarah thinks the Piutes were a

GOVERNOR NICHOLS.

That unblemished patriot Gov.
Nichols, has been elected attorney of
the Factors and Traders Insurance
Company OF New Orleans. The great
mass of the people will always hail
with delight every recognition that
may be made of the ability and
worth of the heroic soldier and unse1f-
ish citizen, whose name will occupy
% prominent place in the hearts of all
Louisianians. Without stain or re-
proach he took the reins of govern
mcnt at u moment when the fate OF
his State hung on q thread. His
moderation, his wisdom, his good
name. which commanded the respect,
even Of political opponents, in very
great measure, won our redemption
from Radical rule. Though he dis

A GRAND HOTEL.

The New Orleans States, apropos
Of our suggestion to establish a bank
in this city, says:
A bank certainly will be an impor-
tant and very necessary institution
for Baton Rouge when the seat Of
government will be there. But what
the town needs above everything else
is q small first class hotel. The want
Of proper accommodations for the
members Of the General Assembly has
been q standing complaint against
Baton Rouge. With the rebuilding
Of the Capitol our neighbors OF the
Highland City must prepare to enter
tain their guests from all parts OF the
State in u way that will prevent any
invidious distinction being made.
The country members have acquired
metropolitan tastes by their frequent
| visits to New Orleans, and Baton
Rouge must be up and doing If there
is disire to make the place attractive
in the eyes of the modern legislator.
1t is more than probable that a
railroad will shortly connect us with
the capital Of the State, putting as
within three or four hours run OF the
place. Daily communication will DC DC

Albany is to New York. Weare anxi
ous, therefore, to see such improve
ments made am such attractions
offered as will make the future capita
of Louisiana what it should and cal
be, the second city in the State.
We concur in every particular wit
our friend and contemporary. 1her
is not a shadow of q doubt that rail
ways placing Baton Rouge in com
mnnication with New Orleans an
the Red River valley, also with Ciin
ton and Liberty, are within month

Ex-Governor and cx-Unitcd States
Senator Albert Gallatin Brown was
drowned in pond on his plantation
near Terry last Saturday. He rode
his horse to the pond, and, it is sup
posed, fell off in fit of apOplexy.
His remains were carried to Jackson
and laid in state in the Capitol until
this morning, when the funeral took
place. Crowds of people visited tie
Capitol to take d last look ut the cas-
kct containing the remains of the
iIlustrious dead. Gov. ByOwn was
the Youngest Governor Mississippi
ever had, and for his brilliant quail
ties of mind and heart, was hOnOrcd
by the party of his allegiance with
positions of trust lip to the close OF
the war, when the cohorts Of Radi-
calism, backed by Republican bayo-
nets, excluded him from further Off
cial services. But his clarion voice
and trenchant pen ennevcrtailed to drive
the shaft of terror into the hearts OF
these political vampires. He was in
his sixty-seventh year at the time OF
his death, and though gray hairs
had whitcncd his dark locks, and
time had weakened his physical Wig.
or, he was the same brilliant peer
that in by gone days gladdened the
hearts Of his countrymen with quick
wit and deep research. 4 Statesman
has gone to rest his weary limbs on tho
shore Of eternity; may his generous
spirit qnatt the sweetest joys of th'
angel home.

Living 10 Days without Food

A dispatch from Cincinnati, says the
"Enquirer," of that city, publishes TO-
day the details of a remarkable case of
woman living nineteen days without
food. Two weeks ago last Saturday,
Mrs. Margaret Tumy, wife of H. l..
Tumy, wealthy and respected book
binder of this city, who has been ill
for about FIVE months at her residence
at Walnut Hills, was taken with
/ spasms, and, it is asserted, the only
food she has taken since is two ordinary
white beans. She is possessed with the
hallucination that she has no stomach,
which she believes has been rotted
away through the action of dyspepsia,
from which she was great sufferer.
DR.. Edward Freeman, who has been at
tending Mrs. Tumy, tells the same sto-
ry, and says that the woman has been
consuming herself since she stopped
eating, and until a week ago was grow
ing rapidly thinner and weaker; since
then, however, be has been unable to
note any appreciable change in her
condition. During most of the time
she is kept unconscious by morphine,
which is administered in pills. The
doctor has not expected her to live from
day to day, and the unfortunate wo-
man, who is reduced to a skeleton,
wishes to die.
