AN INDIAN TURKISH BATH.

If cleanliness is next to godliness, the foulness of the Indian is his greatest sin. A peculiar and disagreeable odor prevades every thing that belongs to him, although much of it is due to other causes than per- sonal filth. The tanning, drying of beef or buffalo cooking, etc., simultaneously in pro- gress in and about the lodge, produce va- riety of unpleasant scents, which permeate their clothing and impregnate the atmos- phere. The urfrequent change of the former is also @ fruitful source of physical impurity. The Turco-Russian bath is. how ever, of very common application among them. It is their panacea. .-.
 The manner of its preparation is neces- sarily primitive. Willow wands are shar. pened and thurst into the ground, and their smaller ends are interlaced so as to form a bower little more than yard in height and eight or ten in circumference. Over this is stretched and secured piece of canvas or skin, under which, after several large stones have been brought to red heat and rolled in Its centre, dozen or more Anapahoes crowd and crouch. Water is slowly poured upon the stones, from which arise hot air and vapor. After profuse precipitation, the inmates leap into an adjoining stream, or wallow naked in the snow. This bathing establishment is called ''wick-up," and they dot the banks of water courses in all Indian countries. ''

PARTNERSHIPS PICTURED ROCK,

Not 100 miles below Nashville is a curious spectacle known as the ''Sun and Moon. :" It consists of painting upon an immense rock which rises to an altitude of several hundred feet. As to who painted it is 8 mystery which I believe was never unrav- eled. Many think it was the work of the red brother, centuries ago, perhaps. But there the sun and moon shine out in all the freshness and glory of new paint. They are located midway the cliff, and stand out in bold re lief. As to how any human being ever reached the spot is question which, believe, has never been solved. It is SUD- posed that in those days they had no giant ladders and could not easily have reached the point from below. The only natural rope of that time was wild grapevine, of which Tennessee is so prolific, and some In dian might have been by this means let down over the dizzy bluff, and when he had finished his work had again been let down or pulled up. At any rate, these pictures are there ou the everlasting rock, and are likely to remain for future ages.-Cinctnnati COas- naercial

A SLY OLD FISH.

A gentleman in the Central Provinces of which there is huge wel-a well more like c small deep tank than anything else On sunny day, when the water is clear huge old fish, more than thirty-fve pounds in weight, may be seen basking in the sun, or sleeping in the shade. There is nearly twenty-f five feet of water in the well as rule, but in the extreme hot weather it has been known to sink to four feet. When the water is very low the owner of the well has done his best, year after year, to capture the fish, but he has never been able to effect his purpose either with line or net. It appears that fifteen years ago the fish was hooked, but somehow, after a desperate struggle, he broke loose, since which time he steadily refuses the daintiest morsel in the shape of bait. Once, too, long ago, he was nearly caught in net; since which time he has had curious knack of suddenly disappearing whenever the well is about to be dragged. Two years ago the water in the well fell un- usually low, and the owner determined to
 
 cleansing the well, and also to satisfy his curiosity as to the hiding place of the fish. This was found to be a small cave, with smaller hole as entrance. Upon the well being emptied the fish was allowed to re- main in his ipgeniously adopted sanctum, after having been carefully inspected by the owner of the place and his friends The fish is still to be seen in the well; he is great pet and is easily recognizable because of his huge size and by means of remark able pale-yellow scar he bears on his back. He is lazy, good-natured animal" said my informant, 'and only once during the last six years has been seen in state of ex- citement, and that was when water-snake invaded his ancient solitary reign, when there was a furious fight, and the water snake was observed to crawl up the sides of the well much quicker than it descended.

LUCK AT CARDS.

One word as to luck. Whether we be- Geve in 1t or not there is such thing as luck. We see one man for season persist ently holding bad cards, losing rubber after rubber, and invariably being found by his partner with nothing in his hand Nor is such misfortune due to bad play. As long as 'honors count for what they do in the rubber, a frst-class player, it is calculated, has only the advantage of one point in the game over an indifferent player. Still, in spite of men grumbling about their luck, and assuring everybody that they invariably lose, take cycle of three years and it will be found that luck is very even in its opera tions I have seen men who have lost steadily throughout whole year, yet in the next year they have more than recovered their losses. have seen a man lose thir- teen rubbers running, yet shortly afterward I saw him win every night during a whole week. No man who has made legitimate whist the occupation of his life has ever come to much grief. The men who have been "broke" are those who have not the funds to stand heavy run of bad luck or those who, not content with the points, bet largely, backing their luck when they win, and plunging deeper and deeper to regain their losses when unfortunate. But legiti- mate whist-that is, whist at points that g. man can afford to lose, and no bets-is the cheapest pleasure that can be indulged in. It offers one an agreeable rest after the days labor, healthy form of excitement, and. intellectual exercise without fatigue. My advice to all is that of Talleyrand, "Play whist, and you will be spared sor- rowful old age" ."-LOndon Society.

A GIRLS MIND.

An English writer has made study of the mental operations of the minds of un- married women, and has reached these con- clusions: "At seventeen the girl thinks often of love, delights in love songs, fills Moore's poems with pencil marks, thinks Byron's face beautiful, eats little in con- pany. At eighteen, still thinks great deal about love; would care nothing for poverty providing she had 6 sweetheart who adored. her; indeed, would rather be poor than rich, were she united to the ideal whom she has not yet met ;. still reads a great deal of poetry and novels which deal largely with love and the death of the heroines: pas sionately fond of children. At nineteen, little more critical; finds some of the poetry that pleased her last year a little weak; looks about for steadier authors than her old favorites.; dances every dance in a ball, and is not quite so particular as to the mel who are introduced At twenty, is not sure whether, after all, it would not be best to be an old mans darling. Never thIess, she firts more uniformly; all her shyness is gone; and she enjoys her food whether peo- pie are looking at her or not. At twenty one her belief in old men is strong; she has lost her prejudices in favor of poverty and cottages, yet she would not insist upon money were her ideal to present himself. At twenty-two thinks her youngest sister rather forward in her manners, particularly with young men; sometimes suggests to mamma that the invitations which include the youngest sister are merely acts of polite ness, which people don't want to be literally interpreted. At twenty three is annoyed if any one says in her presence that the pallor of half the girls one meets comes from tight lacing At twenty-four laces deliberately for waist, and does not much mind if it be known; finds the company of old men al- ways more agreeable than that of young men, and is fattered if boys pay her atten- tions. At twenty-five is found behind the bazaar stalls; initiates the style of the fash iopable beauty frequently alters the char acter of her coifure and uses great many different kinds of stuff for her hair. At twenty-six declares that she hates the idea of marriage, wonders how girls can volun- tarily enter 8 state of bondage; marks all passages in novels in which men are tyrants and ceases to notice other peoples babes. At twenty-seven falls in love; about four months of quiet anguish and despair; sits late into the night alone in her bed room is jilted writes twenty letters in all con- ceivable styles-from the passionately scorn- ful to the mild, sacridcial forgiving, heart breaking style-none of which are posted; destroys the ball room programme on which he has written bis name -Ezchange

sKH.LFUL WEAVING.

Charles Price, Paterson weaver, has woven handkerchief from the raw silk, just as wound from the cocoon, without dye ing, twisting or spinning. It is very inter- esting novelty. It is as fine as anything could ever be made from silk, whichis about as fine as anything can be. It is smooth, pliable and soft to the touch, and the pretty pattern shows out very handsomely. Of course. such handkerchief would be more expensive than the ordinary sort, owing to the difficulty of weaving from such fine threads; but it is, as a specimen of skill and work, as pretty an article as was ever turned out of the silk mills.

NAPOLKoNIC TRAITS.

The Emperor walked everywhere. speak ing to right and left, preceded by some Chamberlains, who announced his presence. When he approached there was dead si- fence, everybody remained perfectly still, the ladies rose and waited for the insigfcant and often disobliging remarks which he was going to address to them. He never re- membered name, and almost always his first question was, What is your name?" There was not a lady who was not charmed to see him depart from the place where she was. His Ministers, for himself and in his presence, were nothing but agents more or less active: II should not know what to do with them," he said, ''if they had not cer- tain mediocrity of intelligence of character" If any one them felt himself superior in any point, he would feel it necessary to dissem- ble, and, perhaps, as the feeling of danger warned every one, they generally affected a feebleness or nullity which did not really be- long to them. In a fit of frankness in which he sometimes indulged, heard him say that he did not like to confer glory except on those who could not carry it. Hence, &C., cording to his political attitude toward the chiefs under his orders, or the degree of confidence which they inspired, he kept si- fence about certain victories, or changed failure into success. Sometimes a General learned in a dispatch an action which he had never performed or speech which he had never uttered. It was in vain to protest against neglect or misrepresentation; the past had already been wiped out by fresher news, for the rapidity of Bonaparte in war brought something new every day. He imposed silence on all remonstrance, or, if he found it necessary to appease Gen. aral, sum of money or the grant of some favor ended the difference. Ican- not say whether he was deist or an atheist. He was ready to scof in private at every thing connected with religion, and think he gave too much attention to all that hap pened in this world to care much about the other. would venture to say that the im- mortality of his name seemed to him much more important than that of his soul Msus0Sses ef Ams.

RAISING sUNKEN SHIPS BY BAIL
 LOOMS.

The interesting experiment of raising . submerged vessel by means of balloons was recently made in the Piotzer Lake, near Der. lin. The method, which was devised by Herr Eldner, of Vienna, consists in attaching empty balloons to the vessel and then sud- denly infating them with carbonic acid gas,
 made on the spot by breaking vessel con- taining sulphuric acid surrounded with Bull richs salt, which is inserted inside the bal loon- The mixture of these two chemicals generates the gas the balloon rises, and the vessel is raised. In the experiment in question, sunken boat, weighing several hundred weight, was raised, and also five heavy sand bags, from depth of fifty feet.
