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.
'lhey were very hospital; the minute wc

inviting to us who had witnessed their prepara

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. Wo saw idles of auks lying about

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.

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. In the chemical laboratory, the great

touched, it produces hist the same effect on the
skin ns a red hot cinder—it blisters the finger
like a burn. Quicksilver or mercury freezes at
40 degree* below zero; that is, 72 degrees be
low the temperature at which water freezes.'—
The solid mercury may then bo treated as oth-.
cr metals, hammered into sheets, or'mado into
spoons; such spoons would, however, melt In

“OUR COUNT!
1 Mexican Tale.
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. Ills Excellency is said to have added ft
severe reprimand to the lad}', for having made
n bargain without writing.
Wncn is a Man High Emoiioii.— When a lad,
an aid gentleman look tliu froubJo to tench mo
tamo lutlu knowledge of tho world. With this
view 1 remember ho one day ashed mo, “When
is a man rich enough V* I replied, “ When ho
has n thousand pounds.” Uo snld, *• No.”
<*Two thousand?” “No.” “ Ton thousand ?”
“No.” “A humlrcd thousand?” which I
thought would sctilo the ImalncsSt but ho still
conllnnod to say no. 1 gave It up, and con*
fessod I could not tell, but begged that ho would
Inform mo. Ho gravely snld, “.When As hot a
lilllt more than he hat, and that Is never I If ho
acquires one thousand, ho wishes to have two
thousand, then five, then twenty, Ibpn ftllv}
from Hint Ids riches would -amount to one him*
drod thousand, and so on til) he had grasped
tho whole world, after which ho would look
about Idm, like Alexander, /or other worlds to
possess.” Many a proof have I had of tho old
gentleman's remarks since ho made them to mo,
and I am happy to say, I have discovered the
reason. Full enjoyment, full satisfaction to tho
mind of man, can*only bo found In possessing
God, with all Ids Infinite perfections. It, is only

satisfy.

The Way to Collect a Bill.
Old Sqniro Tobin was o slow walker but
slower pay; Blessed with abundant moans, ho
was of course considered ultimately good lor
any little doht.ho contracted; buthobnd a habit
of holding on to his money, until forced by extra
opportunity to fork over.
•- There goes the old Squire,*' said Brown the
merchant, “I've had a bill- of live dollars and
IllYy cent's against him for eight months, and Jf
I havo asked him for it once, I have done so
twenty times j but ho has cither not got it with
him, or call to-morrow, or, If not In a good
humor, he will swear like a trooper, at my Impu
denco in dunning him at unseasonable times. ”
Kow there was one Joe Harkins, a waggish
sort of a fellow, who beard the complaint of
merchant Brown, and resolved upon some fnn.
“ Come, now. Brown,’* said Joe, “what will
you bet I can’t get tho money from the old
Squire before ho gets homo?”
“ A view hat,’’ said Brown.
“ Enough said,” said Joe.
While Brown was hunting the bill, Joe dis
guised himself in a striped blanket and slouch
hat. Thus equipped, witn the bill in his hand,
ho look after the Squire.
“ Hallo. 5s your name Squire Tobin 7”
m Tbs,’/ answered tho Squire, with a snarl,
“ wlmt is that to you 7”
“1 have a little bill, sir—collecting former
chant Brown, sir.”
’ “ Klcrchant Drown can go to - thunder, sir,”
said the Squire, “I’ve no moriey for Idm, you
tnust brill again.”
Joe bowed politely, slipped down (he alley
just in time to head the old Squire at the next
corner. *
“ Oh, sir,” said Joe, stopping -suddenly,“ is
your mime Tobin
“Tohlu, air, ia my name.”
“Here is a little bill, sir, flora merchant
Brown.”
“ Zounds I sir,’’ replied the Squire, “ Didn't'
I meet yon just around the corner ?” I
“Meet mo?” replied Joe, “guess it was B—,'
another of Brown's collectors.” j
■•Then I suppose merchant Brown has two red
striped collectors dogging my steps; I won’t ,
pay it, sir, to-rtny—begone!” Tho old Squire)
as he sail! this, brought down his slick hard upon ,
tho pavement ami toddled on. j
Jde, nothing daunted, took advantage of an- ,
other alley, and, by a rapid movement, in a few
minutes placed himself once more in front of tho i
I Squire. The old man's Idle was making him 1
mutter and growl us he walked along, now and
then giving point to his anger, by very emphatic
knocks of his cauo upl»n the sidewalk. H lien
within about twenty feet of each other, tho old
Squire espied Ids sniped friend onro more In
hunt. Squire Tobin stopped—and raising his
cane, exclaimed:
“ You Infernal Insolent puppy, what do you
mean 7”
Joe* directing great astonishment, checked tip
within a safe distance, mid replied : |
“Mean, sir? You surprise nte, sir, I don’t
know you, sir.” ' I
“ Ain’t yon merchant Brown's collector, that

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. Chlorosis (the

SENATonur. OaATOBt.—In (he Senate, says

Toombs Is vigorous, strong and torse, but Inele

fluently or Impressively. Bnfler is a loose and

Pugh Is apt. forcible and fluent—a Hide too

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

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-

Jin is a hapny medium between tho careless, off

speakers, and the slifl’, cold and rigid rhetoric
of Seward and his school.
