INDIAN €IIAR ACTEII.
The following anecdote is related by a cor
respondent of the St. Louis Beacon. The trait
of character which it developes, is not novel or
unknown, as applied to the Indian race; nor is
the observation of Goldsmith, that “drunken
ness is the vice ofn barbarous, and gaming, ot a
luxurious age," entitled to the merit of a distinc
tive aphorism. These vices arc notoriously
prevalent in both, but although wo cannot find
much to praise in the discovery of a principle,
by either, there is interest in the incident the com
munication records: —
Indians are the most desperate gamblers in
the world, considering their means. One would
h- astonished to witness their stakes. 1 have
seen them sit successive hours, and sometimes
days, at their games, alternately winning and
losing, until one of them rose stripped of all his
wealth, horse, gun, and every thing but the rag,
as wo might say, of modesty. This would bo
railed ruin by the civilized world, but it causes
no despair or suicide with them, and all that an
•observer would perceive, is perhaps a little mor
tified pride at his defeat. The young squaws,
having more leisure, are more constant gam
blers than the men. I have seen a young squaw
pull ornament after ornament from her arm,
bead after bead from her neck, and broach after
broach from her bosom, until she had lost the
whole, and then probably pawn her clothes for
another game.
The greatest game that I have over heard of,
however, was between a Crow and Chaycnne.
It was told me ns a well known fact by a man
residing among the Crow s, and confirmed by
the Crows themselves through an interpreter.
About four years since, the Crows and Chay
ennes were, as they have almost always been,
at war. In fact, Ido not know that they ever
mot peaceably, except in the single instance I
um about to relate. In a state of hostility, of
course, war parties were continually roaming in
search of favorable opportunities to strike with
success, and with as Ii * tic risk as possible; it
happened that two hostile parties were encamp
ed without the knowledge of either, near each
other. They had been out a longtime, and had
seen no “signs” of an enemy, and o( course be
came considerably discouraged. After a little
reflection, and within a day or two of the same
time, both |wrties resolved to return to their re
spective tribes. It happened also, that one of
each party refused (pledged by an oath, or n
fraid of the ridicule of some favorite squaw) to
return. This is very common among them, and
it excites no surprise, even after success, that one
or two separate from the main party, and go
forth alone, sometimes for a definite object, and
sometimes not. These two men were left by
their respective comrades m the mountains, near
Powder river, and for the two following days
tltev remained near where they were lett. On the
third, and near night fall, they had selected their
lodging places near each other, still ignorant oi
their vicinity. The Chayenne was going down
and the Crow up, a ravine that gradually de
scended. at that place, towards the river. Tin*
former laid himselfdown among tiic rocks in the
bottom of the ravine, but the laLer, thinking
from the appearance of the sky that it would
rain, and knowing how the water rushed in tor
rents down these ravines, crawled np its side,
and there, under the shelter of a friendly rock,
arranged himself for repose. As the Crow ex
pected, one of those sudden and tremendous
showers common to the country' came on ; ho,
however, lay unmolested by it.
Not so with the Chayenne; hearing the
roar of the coming torrent, he hastened to se
cure himself from being washed away* or dash
ed to death against the rocks, by groping out a
passage to the side, hardly knowing, in the dark,
■whether he was going to safety or destruction.
And feeling around, and managing to get about
one hundred yards from where the water had
driven him. he came accidentally to the rock
which sheltered the Crow. In endeavoring to
ascertain its position with the ground, he placed
his hand upon the bare shoulder of his enemy.
As it may bo expected they both started, the
one back and the other up. with their usual ex
rlamation of surprise—“ ah ! said they', as
they stood gazing, and light up their gaze with
the fire of their own eyeballs. V\ hat is very
unusual among Indians on a war party, they
wore both unprepared, and both, too, searching
for enemies.—The night was very dark, the
ground precipitous and uneven, and both
hesitating what to do, not knowing but each haa
friends close at hand. At length the Chayenne
made signs that he would lie down for the night,
and that in the morning they would try their
prowess. It was arranged, and two brave and
mortal foes, until that instant, lay* down side by
*idc under the same rock. I question it either
slept, still they continued in their recumbent
posture until rooming.
Morning came, and both, assured of their
novel situation, laughed at its singularity ; from
a laugh, they began their signs, and at length
determined, tiiat, as either allowed the other's
tribe to be the bravest in the world, they would
not fight, but would try their strength or skill
in gambling. They commenced and the game
continued fluctuating for some time, until after
about 2 hours the Crow won all the arms, pro
visions and clothes of tire Chayenne ; to express
it more fully, the Chayenne stood before him
clothed only as by nature at bis birib. After
standing a few moments in thought, he arrested
the Crow in packing up his winnings by saying,
he would stake his scaljr. The Crow of course
eagerly engaged again, thinking probably it
was a cheap way to acquire such a trophy ; but
fortune favoured the brave, and from that in
stant the Chayenne commenced winning. lie
continued until be had not only won back ail
his own, but all the Crow had, leaving him as
destitute as the Chayenne was a short time be
fore. He could now do no less than his anta
gonist had done. The Crow’s scalp was now
at stake. Both were anxious, and bo h played
cautiously. It would not do, the Crow lost his
scalp, and the Chayenne proceeded very delibe
rately to lake it off. The operation was com
pleted, and the Crow was pronounced the great
est brave in existence.
A Her some little conversation, praising each
other (all signs) they separated, under the pro
mise of again playing should they ever meet,
at the same lime assuring each other, that they
would s rive to bring the tribes, or parts of
each, together.
In about three months, true to their promise,
they met, the Indians consenting to the meeting
for the purpose of witnessing such a game.
Again they played, lost and won altermately
for some time, both better guarded as to their
scalps than before, the one having none, and
the other having a large quantity of things to
lose before his vvouldjcome into the play. Luck
however settled down in favor of the Crow,
and, as the scalp of the other became the stake,
the anxiety of the Chayennes showed itself by the
deepest and most silent attention ; whilst, on the
other hand, a murmur of encouragement passed
along the line of Crown for their champion. The
game drew to a close. Every eye was atten
tion. Their very respiration was checked, and
the dogs themselves hushed their harkings into
low growls. It was but for an instant, for an
exulting shout soon announced the success of
the Crow-.
The same operation that he had performed on
the Crow was submitted to by the Chayenne,
and after a little feasting, the two tribes separa
ted, for the first and last time, in peace.

PtXXEK ADVENTURES.
" S ime pigeons, Davy, a couple of short-legged hens
-—joint of mutton, and any pretty little tiny kickshaws—
tell William code.”— Shak»peare.
1 have always looked epon cookery ns a sub
lime science. The mind is the slave of theslo
mach—a half-cooked bird will deaden for hours
the brightest and proudest intellect. “ The way
to a man’s heart,” said Napoleon, “is down his
throat ” —leaving it of course to be understood
that when you travel that way, you are not to
ho accompanied by raw potatoes, tough meat
and sour wine. I always suspect the man
who professes indifference towards eatables—
who has no choice —who does not prefer a sad
dle of venison to a loin of veal, or vice versa—
depend upon it, he has no heart —or no palate —
nr else he is quizzing you. Now 1 have my
preferences, and amongst others, I prefer French
cookery to any other science in the world—a
ghost might prefer astronomy or pneumatics —
hut flesh and blood must concur with me. This
is a good deal lor me to confess—l was brought
up in a veneration for the roast beef and pota
toes of merry England and in horror of frogs.
But it is long since I became fired of roast beef,
and long since, (start not, reader !) I ate p frog,
vea, many frogs. 1 used to catch them for my
French tutor in days of yore and many a time
when we were supposed to be reading Telemaquc,
were we supping on tiie croakers, (not Halleck’s
croakers it was before they made a noise in the
world.)
Fond as I am of French cookery, I have al
ways been too lazy to study its nomenclature. I
have been in the habit of ordering a dinner of
mutton, or beef, or fowl, in as general terms as
Grumio bade the tailor make “ two sleeves ” to
Katharine’s gown, denying that he ordered them
to he curiously cut.” [Vide one Shakspeare.]
The minutiae I always left to the honor of the
cook.lmy preferences lying between the materials
and not the various method’s of their prepara
tion.
My ignorance of this nomenclature gas lately
led me ito some ludicrous predicaments. iJct
monico has, this winter, estabiihed a, “Restaurant
Francois” on the Parisian plan. In I pupped
some days ago with a glorious appetite. I found
the bill of fare entirely in the French language.
Glancing over it hastily, the first item that attrac
ted me was “ cornickon ” amongst the “ Hors
d’ceuvrcs.’ Cornichon I know to mean “ a little
horn” and as 1 was very thirsty I concluded to
take a small horn before attacking the substanti
al?. So I ordered the garcon to bring me a
cornichon. He started, and as he turned I saw
his suppressed £mile. A french waiter is too
well bred to laugh in your face. I began to sus
pect all was not right. In a few moments he re
turned, bringing me, to my utter dismay, a plate
0 f pickled cucumbers ; I abhor cucumbers as I do
the devil —but as 1 had got in a pickle and did
not like to show my ignorance, I swallowed the
little wretches hoping to be looked upon as an
exceatric man. ,
The pickles made me thirstier than ever, I
confusedly and hastily looked over the bill, and
saw “ peche a fcau de vie.” Aha! thought I,
“ there will be no mistake this time— euu de vie
1 know means brandy, and pcchc of course, is a
glass,” So I issued my order with much com
plaoencvand an air ot knowing what I was about,
and what do you think I got, reader ? A brandy
peach, by all that’s horrific ! —And what do you
think I did 1 Jump up and run out of the house ?
Or stab myself with the silver fork ? Neither — l
tried to look as if I was in the habit of commenc
ing mv dinner on cucumbers and brandy peaches,
and 1 trust I succeeded.
Believing that fate decreed against my having
any thing to drink, I again took up the bill, to
try and blunder on something to cat. “Lot me
see,” said I, “what have we hsre? Languc a la
bourgeoises-the longue of a citizen's wife / What!
Is this splendid establishment the resort of can
nibals? Why surely it must be, for here right
below is “Coleletles ala fnuncicre”—the cutlet*
of a financier ! Tough fjod, I should think, par
ticularly if Delmonico catches his financiers a
mongst our Wall-street peripatetics. I’ll try
neither of these dishes—a woman’s tongue and a
broker’s legs are too much exercised to be ten
der fare however fair the f irmer may be, and
however tender her accents. Let me look a
little farther, “Ris de veau”—the smile of a calf!
Y ho but a Frenchman would ever have thought
of cooking a smile? It must be a delightful dish
—but I w ant something more substantial. “Can.
ard crux olives”—-a water-dog in olives ! Whew !
What will they cook next —this is worse than
the Persian’s horse-flesh dinners. And hero is
“cntrc-cote a la mail re d'hote I”—.the rib of the
master of the hotel! What a barbarian to cook
his own wife! unheard of enormity 1 “Epigram
me. d' agnerm”---the epigram vs a I .mb ! i sup
pose they will soon make an anecdote of a pig,
and a hislot tea! fact of an oM cow, W hat’s tins ?
— “Saucisson”—a squib ! 1 have had enough to
do with squib ting in my day—l’ll none of this.”
“ Anguillcs a la tit lure”—eels in hell —just
where they ought to be —I would as soon cat a.
snake as an cel. “ Omelette snufltc” —a puffed
omelet —I have had puffs enough. “Quitre
mendians”—four begg trs ! Too much lcan—~
Not a particle offal. T il be hound, in such a dish.
Just at this moment, an old gemieman entered
and sal down at an adjoining table. “ Give me
some roast beef and potatoes,” s .id he. “Eh
monsieur,” said the garcon, presenting the bill
or fare. He looked at it with puzzled aspect.”
“1 dont Understand all this cursed gibberish,”
said he, “bring me roast beef and po’atoes.” Ah
—oui—rosbif et poimnes do ton e. ’ —Pnm de
u—-I. —potatoes, 1 say. Determined to show
before the old gentleman, and not liking the
names of thedishes ( could understand, I launch
ed into the sea of conjecture, hoping to make no
further mistake, and called promptly for “jntn-h
au r/ium ” resolving to oat it, if it turned out to be
a wild cat. It came—it was a glass of rum
punch—l fainted f
P. S. I recovered—dined on a pnu/el a la
(artare —and have since spent half my income at
that same “Restaurant Francais.”

Halford’s Pearl Water,
FOR TfDE COMPLEXION.
THIS fashionable lotion is entirely free from any de
leterious ingredient, and is so innocent that the
most delicate lady or child may use it with perfect safety.
. It eradicates, freckles, pimple*, spots', sunburns, tans,
redness, all cutaneous eruptions, and effectually renders
the skin white and blooming. Its cooling and fragrant
properties add to the pleasures of the toilet and comforts
of the nursery. Gentlemen whose faces arc irritated by
the operation of shaving, will find Halford’s Pearl Water
to possess uncommon soothing and healing qualities.—
Travellers exposed to changes of weather, causing a
rough and harsh skin, will find it to possess balsamic
powers of surprising energies. The celebrated Brum

mESPECTFULJ-<Y inform the Printers of the
United States, to whom they have long been in
dividually known as established Letter Founders, that
they have now formed a co-partnership in said busi
ness, and hope from their united skill, and extensive
experience, to be able to give full satisfaction to all
who may favor thetti with orders.
The introduction of machinery, in place of the tedious
and unhealthy process of casting type by hand, long a
desideratum by the European and American Founders,
was, by American ingenuity, and a heavy expenditure
of time and money on the part of our senior partner, first
successfully accomplished. Extensive use ot the ma
chine cast letter, has fully tested and established its
superiority, in every particular, over that cast by the
old process.
The Letter Foundry business will hereafter he car
ried on by the parties before named, under the firm of
WHITE, HAG A R and Co. Their specimen exhibits
a complete scries from diamond to 14 lines Pica. The
book and news type being in the most modem light and

OFFICE OF THE LADY'S BOOK, I
Athenian Buildings, Philadelphia. |
rgIHE number of the Ladv’s Book for September,
_BL contains a well executed engraving on steal, re’*
presenting a subject ofpeculiar and pathetic interest, tt
is from the graver Os an artist, distinguished for his exl
cellcnce. 1 here are, besides, several engravings oi
wood, among which Will be found a very neat and spirit;
ed view of the Cholera Hospital at Paris, which has
been chosen on account of the pervading interest at pr'(£
sent attached to the pestilence which has 'every wber&
spread such desolation.
The literary contents of this number comprise atone;
ty of interesting avticles, which maybe read with plea,
sure and profit. We are also enabled to present thb
award of the Prize Committee, which we have printed
at large, on the cover of our book. By this, it will bh
seen, that the premium has beeh awarded to Miss LESI
LIE, a lady, whose talents have won for her a high ire
putation on both sides the Atlantic, and one vho posse ft
ses as much power in delineating scenes and characters
with her pert, as her eminent brother, whose works are
subjects Os universal admiration, has exhibited with hlft
pencil'.
Mrs. WASHINGTON POTTS, the elohy which has
been distinguished by the unanimous approbation of a
committee composed of gentlemen, whose taste and judg.
ment arc undoubted, will be published 5n our next number.
It is a lively picture of life and manners, drawn with
great skill and discrimination, and a strict fidelity to na
ture. We venture to predict for it a tribute of genetii
applause.
Among the other stories submitted in competition, there
are many of groat merit. These would have beertsped»E
ly noticed an< l commended by the committee, but for
obvious reasons such a course was considered unadvis*
able. They will be published in the succeeding numttei*
of our work, as opportunity may offer-
We hope to make the October Number ofthe Lady’s
Book superior to any of its predecessors. In addition tb
the Prize Pale, it will contain several spirited original
articles, In order still further to improve the book, w®
have employed a young artist, whose present performan
ces give brilliant promise of future distinction, to supt
erintend the embellishments; and he is now engaged In
prepat mg a piate ofthe Fall Fashions, which we may
safely affirm will equal in point of execution any we
have hitherto published. We have also in ‘course of
preparation the portraits of several distinguished lot
dividuals.
We take this occasion to remind our friends that th£
edition we arc printing of the current volume, does nofc
far exceed the actual number of subscribers, and it will
therefore be necessary for those who wish complete
setts, to nude early application. Since the subsidence
of the Cholera to the North and East, our orders have
increased to such an extent that we feel bound to state
the fact, that those who wish the work May See theinv
propriety of further delay. , •
