not got beyond the fishery question, and
there does not seem to be much prospect
of a satisfactory adjustment of the
points in dispute between the Canadians
and the New England fishermen.
II is understood the memorial OF Col.
John Warren, who claims redress for his
Imprisonment in England, will be brought
Lup for consideration whenever an oppor-

Ali claimants will receive timely public
notice, should any arrangement be made
for the adjustment of their claims, as to
what may be required from them in the
way of additional papers and testimony.


New York, March 25.-The Times
Washington correspondent telegraphs
that reports of the proceedings of the
Joint High Commission are without any
basis whatever so far as details are con-
cerned, for it is next to impossible that
anything should be disclosed. All that is
known now is that discussions have pro-
gressed SO far that it will probably be de-
termiped within the next week or ten
days whether there is any possibility of
arriving at any satisfactory conclusions.
If the Commission sits beyond the first
week in April it will be strong evidence
that an adjustment of pending questions

Mr.. Thomas, of South Carolina, will

In going through the parish prison
few days since, the attention of the re-
porter was attracted to a young girl, ap
parently not more than 10 years of age.
She had fair nut-prown hair and com
plexion fresh and white as milk. The
mild blue eyes were singularly soft and
intelligent, aud her whole appearance in
dicated the free, Joyous characteristies of


youth and happiness. Yet this amiable


looking creature, this fair, delicate Mi


nerva Of slender form aud ingenious
face, is said to be a devil incarnate. She


was not a prisoner, only visitor to the


institution, and when the reporter saw her


she was eonversing with a noted burglar;
indeed she says she is a cousin OF Pete
Mrnday's, and goes under the soubriquet


of Lily. She is almost as fair and deli
cate as one.


Her career is a remarkable series OF
adventures and hair breadth escapes.
About a year ago she lived in San An-
tonic, Texas, and for some real or fancied


misconduct received a severe castigation


at the hands of man with whom she


was living.


Burning with resentment, aud conscious
of her inability to cope with him in
physical strength, she waited until the


next night. when he was asleep, and then


locking the doors of the room and closing
every avenue of escape, she prepared for


a work Of horror almost impossible to

understands the usual method of
making cut nails flexible by heating
them; but if, instead of allowing
them to cool in the open air, they
are thrown when red hot into linseed

most as long as though they were

How TO BORE HOLES IN Glass
Any hard steel tool will cut glass
with great facility, when freely wet
with camphor dissolved in turpen-
tine. A drill bow may be used, or
even the hand alone. A hole bored
may be readily enlarged by a round
file. The ragged edges of vessels
my also be thus easily smoothed by
a fiat file. Flat window glass can
readily be sawed by watch-spring
saw by the aid of this solution. In
short, the most brittle glass can be
wrought as easily as brass by the use
of cutting tools kept moist with
camphorized oil of turpentine.

From the Reese River ReveilIe, I'D


The Piute camp on the hill over


looking the city has been the scene
of strife caused by the green-eyed
monster. The ragged and dish,
eveled Indian wenches, supposed by
many white peopleto possess no pas
sions. no desires beyond the filling
of an empty stomach, are capable of
love and jealousy just like their
white sisters. and when under the
iuhuence of the latter passion will
rival Mrs. Fair, in tragic deeds.


A tall Piute. known round town
bv the name of Big Tom, is the hus-
band of two squaws who dote upon
him. Tom, however, appears to
have been partial in the bestowal of
his marital privileges; he favored one
to the detriment of the other. large
and unprepossessing looking female.

her bosom now burst forth. and seiz-

him under the left eye and near the

his hair after the most approved In

could help himself she had cut a

The rumor that a squaw had been
stoned to death night before last by
the men of her tribe is not true.
Capt. Breckenridge, who gave us the
particulars of the little trouble in
Big Toms household, pronounces it
false. He says that the troubles in
the Piute camp are now over. A
good deal of fighting has been going
on there for some time among the
squaws, all on account of jealousy.
but everything is now serene, and

OBALDwIN.-It is feared that The
marriage of O'Baldwin, the Irish

Anna Swami. the Nova Scotia Glantess

that this male and this female over
grown could not have been brought
together. O'BaldWin would have
been all the better for being under
the government of muscular
woman, and it would have been more
congruOus in Anna to take a man of

question as to whether IT was negligence to permit

Judge NELSON said that the Jury must decide that
point. II the boiler could stand twenty five pounds
only, was II safe to exceed that amount?

WE know that domestic animals are

obedience to the will of man; but did you
ever know that whole companies of peo-

wearisome journeys because of the migra-

cold North countries where he is the main
staff and stay of the people, takes his long
Journeys at the regular seasons in search OF
the reindeer moss and the peculiar ichens
which are its main food. There is no help
for it; but the people who depend on it for
food, and clothing, and almost every other
necessary of life, must follow its wander
ings. Fortunately there is little portable
property to transport; and even the little
children are harder than most men with

by DR.. Kane to take his knife and cut into
the walrus fat along with the rest of
the family, consuming a quantity so enorm-
Gus it seemed almost incredible. They

that little children are small hinderance to
their parents.


Those frozen regions could not be in

Their keen scent shows them where the
moss is hidden even beneath six feet of
snow. Where every thing else would per
ish of hunger, it finds sufficient food. In
turn it furnishes food for the poor inhabi-
tants, and when domesticated, gives them

its skin is put to innumerable uses besides
the common one of furnishing them with
warm clothing.


1t seems wonderful to US that people
can bear to live in such region, and that
it seems q beautiful land to them. No
doubt they would soon tire of the conven.
fences of our enlightened homes, and
would think the most common customs OF
civilized life very irksome and disagree
