TOE ESQUIMAUX. fhilnam for May, has a graphic account of ‘•The Kane Relief Expedition.” The writer’s account of llic Northern Esquimaux is well calculated to refresh one’s love of the much abused civilization, since the utmost squalor and degradation' of city dens do not equal the sloth-and. vice of these favored “children oi nature.” One extract will suffice: • These unsophistic ilcd children of the frost* land never wash off dirt—for tho simple reason that, of dirt, as such, they have no conception or Idea. If their faces get so foul os to clog their nostrils, they open the air passages, just As they clear away the offal from the door of thtir tent when it impedes their ihgrcss and ogress. On our explaining to a woman that we unshed her to wash her face, she at first re fused: but, being bribed with a paper of ncc jjji'a.pUoxaughfA bird; skinnod it. and spitting’ on Us fresh bleeding skin, polished her face Wi/j it. My friend Mayouk had dirt on his face one quarter of an inc|i thick, when I first saw him. The next time I nfet him, I did not recognise him, and actually’requested Mayouk himself to send Mnyouk to me. Two of onr sailors had caught him, and in spile of his struggles, insisted on washing his face. He did not seem to appreciate the improvement it had made in his appearance; on the contrary, he was quite mortified, for he had become the Miighmg stock of his fellows. I would like to speak plainly of the personal habits of these people, if it wcio only for the benefit of a class of philosophers among us. who delight in chaunting , tho vices of civilization, add dreaming of whatman might be if he could only get back to a stale of nature. But there are pictures, and life-like ones, that wc cover with a curtain. Improvidence is another trait of these ’• fresh children of impulse.” Wo were at their village as late os ihc 19th of August. Yet, although Ibe'duks were flying around them in such quan rtUhtf that on? man would have been able to catch a thousand on hour, they had not enough prepared for winter to lust two days. They were all disgustingly fat, and always eating— perhaps an overage ration of eighteen pounds f»*cr diem—yet they had lost seven by starvation during the last winter, though relieved, as far os wc could make it out, by the Doklo Kayens (Dr; Kane,) They suffer dreadfully from cold, too, yet there is an abundance of excellent peat, which they might dig during (he summer. They know its value as fuel, and ore simply too lazy to stack it. The little auk, which forms their .principle food, may bo told also to bo their only fuel. Indeed, it quite fills tho place which the tod holds among tho more southern Esqui maux. Their clothes arc lined with its skins : tbev burn the fot, and, setting aside the livers •nd hearts, to bo dried and consumed as bon bom during the winter, they eat the meat and intestines, cooked and raw, ho(h cold and at blood heat. I remember oife night A child woke bp crying with cold feet. Ilia mother reached out to oncsldoof tho tent, took up a pair of birds, killed them, skinned them, turned the nVins inside out, and drew them, while still warm,,ou tq ’ his feet, to servo as pulling his little boots on over them.

The viAnds did not look inviting to us who had witnessed their prepara tion: but they appeared j>o hurt at refusing to cat, that wo had to explain that it was not cooked; but raw birds wc wanted. Tins was satisfactory. They sot out at once to catch Aomo for us, and in a moment three of them \Ycroon their way down to the boat loaded with birds. Thcjr way of patching them is peculiar.— they have small scoop nets attached to long fKricfl, not unlike those used for catching ento mological specimens. A man will take one of these, and having stripped oit his jumper, and tied its sleeves soUhat ho may use it ns a sack, will lay himself down on the hill-side and not the birds, three or four at a time, as they’fly ovdr, cramming them into his Jumper as fast as catight. i' When 1 ho has got enough, he proceeds deliberately to kill them, taking them tine by one and biting (heir heads; or, if ho docs not wish to take their lives at once, merely locking their wings.

Mrs. Milclc, the BY JOHN B. BRATTON. VOL, 43. wife of a chief, apologized to me for her seeming want of hospitality on one occasion, and ex plained to roe, by most expressive signs, and no inconsiderable exposure of her person, that she hoped she was about to present the house of Muck with an heir. She was fortunate as she hoped, for I saw them, not quite an hour after, walking about with a “ fine boy,” both parties looking as unconcerned ns if nothing unusual had happened to either. The small animal was the image of his father, and was dressed in a costume similar in cut and color to that of the great chief—boots, breeches and jumper, all ■ complete—the only difference being, that the skin of the white-fox was substituted for that of the bear. They always take off their clothes on going to sleep ; ana men. women, and children all lie cuddled up together to keep themselves warm. If you come on them suddenly, in this plight, they are not the least abashed, but will politely offer to make room for yon to join the group. It Is well, however, to accept these hospitalities with some reserve.. Burns had not slept In an Etoh hut, or he never would have sung of that solitary “ bcastlc ” on the lady’s bonnet. Dr. Eane as a Soldier. It has already been slated that the lamented Arctic explorer. Dr. E. K. Kane, in nddiiion to his extensive travels in foreign climes, had serv ed his country in the Mexican war. The fid lowing is a sketch of this portion of life wonder ful life: On his arrival in Philadelphia from an expe dition to the coast of Africa he appeared to be | but the shadow of a man ; but although his limbs totten-d and death stared him in the face , he could not rest. His country was at war , with Mexico, and he resolved, if he had to die. to yield bis breath in its defence. Against the entreaties of bis family this indomitable spirit made his wa}' to Washington, requested a com mission from President Polk, and it was grant ed. The President him with Impor tant despatches for General Scott, and he sail ed for Very Cruz. ’ The road between that point and tho capital was infested with large bodies of brigands and regular troops of the 0001113'. At Napoluca the Dr. and tiis escort met a large body of the enemy; and here he displayed a nerve, not ohl)* in compelling his own men to fight, but in charging the.foe. that was unsur passed in that war. Tho'cnemy were routed, and a large number of prisoners taken, among whom were Generals Torrejon and Garona and young 1 Garona. The latter was wounded by Dr. Kane himself, and the chivalry of the j’oung conqueror was now displayed m giving the wounded man the benefit of his surgical skill. , With no other instrument than the bent prong of a fork and a piece of pack thread, the Doe tor took 1 up the artery, and placed the young' man in a condition so that lie could be convey ed safely to Puebla. Soon afterwards young Garona informed Dr. Kane that he had over heard Col. Dominguez.,of his escort, soy that he would put Gen. Garona to death, because he owed him an old grudge. The Doctor instant ly interfered, placed himself between theescorl and the prisoners, and threatened to shoot the first man who attempted the life of Gnronu.— Dominguez-bccanid .furious, Aud'flrdered his men to charge. But the Doctor plied his revol ver on all sides with fatal effect, and although severely wounded in, tho thigh, continued to keep the foe at bay. and conducted his prison ers to Puebla; where they were placed under tho charge of Col Child. At this point -the youog hero was detained many days, owing to the severe nature of his wound, and was kind ly cared for by the family of Garona, who nev er forgot the Doctor’s generosity. The des patches were delivered to Gen. Scott, a.nd as peace was soon concluded, Dr. Kune returned once more to his own counlr}-. A Good Anecdote, Old Parson B , who presided over a little flock In one of the back towns in the State of M , was. without any exception. tho most eccentric Divine wo ever knew. Ilia eccentricities wore carried as far in the pulpit as out of it. An instance we will relate: Among his church members wo* one who In variably made a practice,of leaving the church ere the parson was iwo-ihirds through Ins ser mon. This was practised so long that after a while it became a matter of course, and no ono. save the divine, seemed to take any noilco of It. And be at length notified Brother D. that such a thing must be needless, but p. said at that hour his family needed his services nt home, and he must do it. nevertheless: on leaving church ho always look 0 roundabout course, which, by some mysterious means, always brought him in Hose proximity with the village tavern, which he would enter, “and thereby hangs a tale.” Parson B. learned from some source that P.’s object in leaving church was to obtain a ‘dram,’ and he determined to stop his leaving and dis turbmg the congregation in future, if such a thing was possible. The next Sabbath Brother P. left his sent at the usual'-lime, and started for the door, when Parson B. exclaimed: “Brother P !” P., on being addressed, stopped short, and gazed toward the pulpit. “Brother P.,” continued the Parson, “there is no need of your leaving church at this lime, as 1 1 passed the (averq this morning I made ar rangements with the landlord to keep your tod dy hot until church was out.” Tho surprise and mortificotlon of the broih cr can hardly be imagined. • Cold. —For every mile that wo leave thesur face of our earth, the temperature falls 5 de grees. , At forty-five miles distance from the globe weget beyond the ntiiio*phmj. mid enter, strictly speaking, into the regions of space, whose temperature is 223 degretfS below zero : and here cold reigns in oil its power. Somo Idea of this intense cold may be formed by sta ling that tho greatest cold observed from tho Arctic Circles is from'4o to CO degrees below zero:' and hero many surprising effects aro pro duced.

A lady of fortune, owing to some combination of circumstances, found herself in some difllcul ties, and In Immediate Want of a small sum of money. Don being her godfather, and a respectable merchant, she wont to him to state her necessities, and offered him a case of valua bio jewnls ns security for prepayment, provided ho would advance her eight hundred dollars.— At tho end of a few months, her temporary dif ficulties being ended, she went to her god father's house fo repay the money, and receive back her jewels. The man readily received tho money, but declared to his astonished god daughter, that as fa (he Jewels, ho had never heard of them, and that no such transaction find taken place. The Signora, indignant at (tie merchant's treachery, instantly repaired to the palace of the Vice-king, hoping for justice from this western Solomon, though unable to con ceive libw it could ho obtained. She was instantly received by Revillnglgedo, who listened attentively to her account of tho circumstances. “ Had you no witnesses?” said tho Count. “ None,” replied she. “ Did no servant pass in or out during the transaction ?” “ No one.” The Viceroy recollected a moment. “ Does your godfather smoke?” “ No, sir,” icplied the lady, astonished at this irrelevartt question, and perhaps the more so, ns tho Count’s aversion to smoking was so well known, that none of his smoking subjects ven tured to approach him without having tak«,n every precaution to deaden any odor of tho tmgrunl weed which might lurk about their clothes and person. “Does he take snuff?” ** Yes, yonr Excellency,” said his visitor, who probably feared flint tor puce Ids Excellen c3"’fi wits were wool-gathering. “ That is sufficient,” suid the Viceroy j “ re lire info an adjoining chamber, nod keep quiet yonr jewels shall bo restored.” His Excellency (Uen dispatched a messenger for tlie merchant, who Immediately presented himself. • « 1 have sent for jou,” said the Viceroy, “ that we may talk over some mailers in which your mercantile know ledge may be of use to the State.” Tlie niei chant won overwhelmed with gratitude-, and joy j while the Viceroy entered Into con versation with him upon various affairs connect-, ed with his profession. Suddenly the Viceroy put his hand first in one pocket, then in the other, with tho air ol -a man who had mislaid sm- thing. “Ah I” sold ho, “my snuff-box f Exctjse for a moment while 1 go and fetch it from tho next room.” “Sir,” said the merchant, “permit mo to have the honor of offering m3' box to your Ex cellency.” Ilis Excellency received it as If mechanically', holding it in his hand and talking, till, pretext ing some business, ha went out, and calling on an officer, desired him to Iqko (hilt snuff box to the merchant’s house, risking his wifo, ns from him, by that token, to deliver to the'bearer U case ofjuwels which he had there. Tho Vice lay returned to the apartment where he had left his flattered guest, and remained In conversa tion with him until tho officer returned, and ro | questing private speech oi the Viceroy, deliver ed to him a jewel-cnso-which lie had received .from the mehibantXsdrA- - ;,;v Rcviliaglgcdo then returned to bis ialr-com plainant, and, under pretence'of rhowlng her some rooms In tho Pnlndb,‘led her Into one, where, amongst ninny ofjccts 0/ value, thojowel enso stood open. No sooner hud she cast nor eyes upon it than' she started forward with Joy and amazement. Tho Viceroy requested her to wait there a little longer, and returned to his other guest. “Now,” said he, “before going further, I wish to hear the truth concerning another affair in which you are interested. Aro you acquaint ed with Sonwado ?” “ Intimately, sir—she is my god-daughter.” “ Did you Wild her eight hundred dollars at such n date <” j “ 1 did.” I “ Did she ever give you a case of jewels in 1 piedgn /” 1 «• Never I” said the merchant, vehemently.— 1 “ Tlio money was lent without any security j merely as an act of friendship, amt sho has In vented a story concerning sonic Jewels, which bus not I lie slightest lotimiation.” In vain tho Viceroy begged him to reflect, and not, by adding falsehood to treachery, force him to take measures of severity. The mer chant, with oaths, persisted in his denial. Tho Viceroy loti tho room suddenly, and relumed «ith tiie jewel case In his hmid \at which unex pected apparition the merchant changed color, ami entirely lost Ins presence of mind. Tho Viceroy ordered him from his presence, with a severe rebuke lor Ids falsehood mid treachery, and an order never again to enter the Palace.— At tho same time ho commanded him to send him eight hundred dollars, with five hundred more 1 which ho did; mid which wore, hy the Viceroy’s orders, distributed among tho hospi tals.

NO. 41. From the Scalpel. Education at American School Girls—A Hor rible Discovery. . . Wo. have been suspicious for a Jong while that we had failed to discover the great cause-of the miserable bodily condition of so many young women,"in what is called fashlonablo'society.— We had observed that a very-large proportion of them, notwithstanding their wretchedly chosen diet/Wnd other drawbacks, retained a very come ly appearance of health and rotundity when at school, which they lost os soon os they were al lowed to coramcnce.thc midnight dissipations of the ball room. This, with onr knowledge of its legitimate result, was and wc consi dered the matter settled. Lately, however, wc have had the opportunity of conversing with nn intelligent young lady who has had the usual opportunities of a fashion able education, and she assures us there is an almost universal horror of being fat, that causes great numbers of (hem to drink vinegar and eat chalk and slate pencil dust, to avoid getting flesh f Sho tells us that nearly all who desire to be f ‘ elegant ” In their figure adopt these hor rid practices as the readiest means of averting (he consequences they dread. This wo call a horrible discovery, Indeed; (hat It' was practised, wo were aware, among many.unfortunate young people who had not the advantages ol careful domestic instruction; but when informed o t its general prevalence, It strikes us with peculiar horror. That in the very bloom and outburst of her womanhood, at that period when the Creator designed to im press her with the crowning glory of her true ! nature and his power, when he has made the 1 countenance speak love and maternity, she should defy Him and cut off tho life current— I (his is horrible, indeed . and the consciousness 1 that the frightful practice obtains general enr -1 rency, Is a sad thought for (ho parent and the ! life-tcachcr. Very few persons imagine (he extent to which (Ids suicidal perversion of the natural instincts will go, In young women who arc under the In fluence o( their imaginary superiors In what they consider graceful thinness; much lias been sard about tight lacing, and because (he corset has partially pone Info disuse, people Imagine (hot compression of the lungs has ceased; It is far otherw Iso ; hooks and eyes ami whalebone have taken their place, and the insane devotee will ingly starves herselt by the year! I One designing woman, envious of the beauty | of an associate to whom nature has given a figure i of bcai.lKnl rotundity and health, will set tw-o -1 thirds of her acquaintances half crazy to emulate I her bony proportions. A heartless and vicious 1 schobl girl has only to blow up her checks and say “ fatty ” to the weak minded girl to whom | nature mid a happy homo have given perhaps I great personal henuty, and who enjoys the do j greo of vegetative life which can alone giro her I a constitution that will fit her for the duties of 0 j wife and mother—and she has been stung by a viper that renders ber miserable for Ufo. Soon the macs fadu from her checks, the ' beautiful rotundity pf her person decreases and fades: the parent's heart bleeds, and ho con sults his physician. He, either Ignorant, Indif ferent, or selfish, gives some absurd prescrip tion. and leaves her to her fate.

OaATOBt.—In (he Senate, says the Washington correspondent of Iho Cincinnati inquirer, the most graceful, flowing, clugunl speaker I have hoard Is Benjamin, of Louisiana. Toombs Is vigorous, strong and torse, but Inele gant In manner nmi indistinct in tone, hlsvolco being utterly without modulation. Seward speaks sensibly and In good tone of voice,- but not fluently or Impressively. Bnfler is a loose and lumbering speaker, who blurts out rather care* Ic-saly bis iudlgeMed thoughts and sentences. Pugh Is apt. forcible and fluent—a Hide too lawyerish—but shows (hat only a brief expo rlonce is required to make him one of the best debaters In the c»unhy. Hunter is very dry. bard and Inanimate, but evidently speaks as a statesman and student. One of tho most im pressive men in the Senate In General Rusk, ol Texas, who speaks like ft Senator, and demeans himself with that manly dignity and conscious power characteristic of tho heroes of our Iron tier struggle. The veteran Crittenden still retains much of that tiro and easy elocution for which.ho has so long boon distinguished, hnt the ravtvges'ol age aru quite perceptible In bis Immoly, but not nn pleaalng old lace, He appears to bo (ho solo reprcscntdtlve in tho Senate of (he old class of political orators who did not regard It essential to Senatorial dignify and propriety that tho natural ardor and I iputsc* of the soul should bo restrained by (rigid formality, cold convention alism ami Calculating cunning, which are Urn principal characteristics nl the modern school ot politicians. Tho foremost of tho vrtry font live men in tho Senalo Is, of course, Stephen A. Dougina. Mo man In Congress has a stronger hold upon the respect hi his enemies and the regard of friends. But I am touching tho ora tor. not tho man. Douglas is ft clear, easy, for cible speaker. There is less of fire and earnest ness limn Inspected Ip his nmnncr v and more of ease apd polish In his sentences. For a fluent speaker, be ls remarkably free from redundance and Iteration, TUn speeches need no ro-nrrnng- Ing and rapoltshlng frnm4ho reported. In fine, Jin is a hapny medium between tho careless, off hand. dashing style of some of tho Southern speakers, and the slifl’, cold and rigid rhetoric of Seward and his school.
