Some Traits of the Vir9iniau.

The whole tradition of the country
unites in a vast protest against hurry.
If you meet your neighbor on the road
on horseback, though you had met every
day for week, he would look on you
as curmudgeon did you not stop and
"chat a while" If, on a summer day,
you stop at roadside farm house for a
drink of water, you will be fortunate, if
the owner is speaking acquaintance,
to get away within an hour, and consid-
cradle hardening will be required to
resist the entreaty to elite, Sir, lite, :"
that follows instantly on his greeting of
recognition. Rural property, where
the house stands upon the public high
way, is among this middling class con-
sldered as having something special in
that particular to recommend it. The
middle-ased or elderly proprietor of
such an enviable location, though he has
nowadays to make his boys work, will
still sit himself upon the porch
in his shirtsleeves, with long pipe
or the less picturesque quid
between his teeth. rocking

OF Such il the Army Of Britain.

From the Army and Navy Gazette Nondon).
We have seen an extremely interesting
letterfrom an officer of the Forty second,
from which we venture to give the fol-
lowing extract, in the hope that the
graphic account of the "rally" and OF
the repulse will be read with pleasure
by the friends of the officers nadlGd, and
by wider circle than it was intended
for: Gall our officers fought like devils,
and how we only lost one 1 can't tell.
God is good and must have put His
shield round our brave, gallant officers.
The Colonel is splendid man. He
shot two Arabs dead and would have
shot more, only the Government revol-
yer ammunition missed fire. An Arab
threw spear, and just passed the
Colonel. Another threw stone at him,
and hit and wounded him on the head
and knocked his helmet off; and he was
bareheaded under burning sun till gal
liant Norman Macleod gave him his
helmet. and wrapped cloth around his
own head. Dear little Brophy was hit
in tho legs, and only saved his brave
life by hanging on to the Colonel's
horses tail. When we rallied and
formed line, imagined must be the
onlyoficer alive ;but, to my JOY we all met.
Old Charlie Eden, as cool as if he were
partridge shooting; little Brophy lame,
but pretending to he sound; Sandy
Kennedy, with his eyeglass in his eye,
and his wife's watch round his neck
Bald, gigantic subaltern, sweating
and with blue jackets hat on-he lost
his helmet Sir John McLeods son,
Duncan, wounded, swearing he was all
right; old Bob Coveny, smiling with
confidence; and Norman Macleod with
his firm lips, thirsting for more blood
Sped looking as calm as a Judge; and
young Macrae, an Argyleshire lad, who
only joined us the day before the battle,
in his trews and armed with
a spear-head crying to be at
the niggers again He is a
splendid boy, and fought like devil
All our officers had hand-to- hand fights
with the Arabs. They pulled the kits
off our men, and one of them pulled the
green ribbons off my kilt, but I killed
him. They are most awfully plucky.
I saw one man just dead and he was
crawling towards us to kill white man
before he died, I took splendid spear
and killed a great many wounded men
with it; it went into their hearts like
lightning, and their blood flowed out
on the sand. I had q narrow escape
from half-dead Arab; he sent his
spear close to my leg, and I stabbed
him in the heart"

Spokane Joe sub-chief of the Colville In
dams, was arrested some time ago by the mill
tary forces brought down to Portland, Oregon,
from Walla Walla and turned over to the civil
authorities for trial He is notorious des-
perado and was arrested for killing several of
his tribe. The prisoners counsel filed de-
mu1rer to further proceeding on the ground
that the civil court had not competent juris-
dictiOn and that the Indian should be returned
to his tribe and be tried by them. The court
sustained demurrer and Joe will be taken back
to Fort Colville, and turned over to his tribe.
Summary justice will doubtless be dealt out &C
cording to the Indian notion of vengeance.

9xl6h o. Great Orators.

Great orators have not scrupled to
use the arts Of the actor to produce their
effects. Lord Brougham, while protest.
ing against the rejection Of the Reform
Bill by the House Of Lords, cried out:
II implore you upon my knees!" kneel.
ing before them on the "wool-sack, up
on which the Lord Chancellor sits when
presiding in the House of Lords. Sher-
idan, having finished his famous speech
in the trial of Warren Hastings, sank
back apparently fainting in the arms of
his friends. Edmund Burke,
at the end Of speech up
on the atrocities which might be
expected from the French in case of an
invasion, drew forth an enormous two
edged dagger, and, excla:ming, "This
is the weapon which will be pointed at
your Threats and mine!" dashed it on
the floor with tragic gesture. Short
" afterward Lord Cairns, speaking
against Burke (who was suspected of
having amassed his wealth dishonesty,
exclaimed: "And this is the weapon
which is used with fatal effect against
you and mel" dragging out, with
Burke's gesture, tive-pound note.
As every one looked to see him dash it
on the floor, he quietly folded it and
put it in his pocket. One of the most
noted criminal lawyers now in this
country, while pleading the cause of
his client, is invariably so overcome by
his innocence and wrongs that his voice
fails, he chokes, sobs, and is forced to sit
down to recover himself. II should

to him, lately, "that the jury would I'M
derstand your little drama by this time. {"
"Ah, your honor forgets," said D.,
his eyes twinkle, chat it is always new

marck has profound contempt not only
for such tricks of oratory, but for oratory
itself. ut is but the gloss that hides
truth, he said lately; "your eloquent
fellow is like woman who has natrr-
lily fine figure and who screws it into
stays and covers it with tasteless finery."

Office on which bis heart was set, caused
him to become recluse and, purchasing the
island OF Appledore from New Hampshire
for some $3.50, he erected there small cab
in. The delightful location, quiet, fair
scenery and pure air soon attracted tie at
tention Of summer tourists, particularly in
valids, and requests for board began to be
received.
Gradually the cabin was enlarged until il
became summer hotel, though conducted
in the most Indifferent manner, as to wheth-
er guests came or went. They were never

her. Duly and respectfully. he requested
her hand Of her father, who irritably or

moved to an adjacent one, and, there erect
