Drack’s Fonx, Wyoming Ter., Feb, 13, 1673, Thus far this wintor thore has boon no ro- wmarkably unpleasant woathor in the mountains, though the mercury in tho thermomoter has beon down to FORTY DEGDEES DELOW ZERO,— groater dogroo of cold than T ever oxporionced bofore, Neithorhas thorobeon any grontamount.of soow, though, within the last fow days, govoral drifts havo been formed, which aro vory deop, Most of the roads have boon kept opon without difficulty, and I bavo heard of but fow cnses of oxtromo sufforing. Tho fact s, poople who live in tho Rooky Mountains have bad so much ox perionce that thoy make thowr proparations be- forehand, aud aro thus enabled to withstand all kinds of disagrooablo weathor with comparative cssa. Evon tho drossod buffalo-skin lodges used by tho Indians aro not uncomfortable, as thoy are gonorally hid away in nomo noolk, woll shol- tored from the wind, and surrounded with s doneo thicket of bushos. Thesc lodges, callod by tho Shoshonee or Snake Indians GAN-NIES, aro madoe with & groat doal of care and ingenui~ ty, the soama being wator-tight, and the portion of the lodge resting on the ground well banked np. The long lodge-poles cross each othor at the top, on tho outside of tho lodge, and thero is spaco enough loft for tho emoko to make its en- «cape, tho fire being in the contre of the gan-ny. In looking at some of thom, X hnve often had brought to my mind tho behavior of Kabibonok- ks, the wild and crucl North-Wind: And at night Kabibonokka To the lodgo came, Wil and walllng, Heapod tho anow {n drifts about it, ‘Shouted down into the emoke-fluc, Bhook the lodge-poles in hia fury Flapped the curtain of the doorway. Ho it s all through thowinter; tho wind howls about the lodges and mountaiu-tops, and sweops through the gorges and along the the water- ¢ourses. If there is *a nipping and an oagor wir" inslde, it ia invigorating, and dried buffalo- “meat {a caton with great rolish, Meantimo tho red-akins ait quiotly around, 4 ! BTOWING AWAY THEIR RATIONS oinslessly, thankful to think thoy aroso woll off, It must not be supposed, however, that i‘dflndhmdo-mntlnthn only food of the In- “gians, In this season, thore are plenty of largo, ‘white rabbits (sometimes called P vl from the Imiménso sizo of thoir éars), which the Indians kill and stow up, making n savory and . wholesomo dish. Bnge-fmnu argalso Elenl:lm!, and these, too, go toward helping fill the larder, Of courss, the Indians who are in daily com- municatlon with the whites are plentifully ‘gupplied with overything necessary, But their town customs are veory dear to thom, and ithey are by no moans .anxious to change them for thoso of tho pale-faces. Thore are many deer, mountain-sheep, elk, and antelopo, in the thick woods on the mountain-sides; and tho Indian hunters monage to get thoir full ‘share of them. Undor those ciroumatances, there is littlo danger of thoir sufforing from hunger, and all of them appear to be in good wcondition. Thoy aro gront mest-eaters, but, when occasion offers, do full justice to bread wnd corn-moal. Above all, thoy are fond of SUGAR AND COFFEE, and no Western man or woman drinks his or her coffee with groater relish than the native- American denizons of the forestsand mountaina. 1t really does one good to seo them smack thoir lipa over a steaming tin-cupfull of coffes ; they onaloy it beyond mensure in their quiet way, ond lnger over it in the fondest man- aer, . Unquestionsbly, God might have made & bettor berry than the coffoc-berry, but unquestionably’ God never did make a botter .berry than the coffee-borry. I know this hes boen said sbout the strawberry, but Wostern Am;dcanu placo strawberrios in tho scoond rank. . Inoarly times, the white trappers and huntors took unto themselves INDIAN WIVES, end this oustom is still kept up. Itisnoun- common thing, in thia mountainous region, to find a white man and & squaw who have anu- merous pmifny of half-braed ohlldren growin up around thom. These children ars active an: quiok-witted, and their doscendants will go toward maflug up our highland population. The squaws make good and faithful wives, and, 80 far as their knowledge gocs, good mothers. They seem to onjoy life, and, in their gambling amos, got thoroughly oxcited. The women ave games of thelr own, and no man interfores with them in any way. The gamo scems to be somewhat liko the old play of the childron palled Button, button, who's got the button?” During the wholo gamo, the womoen asing togethor tho moat livoly air I have eyer heard among the eavag and all are eager for the possession of the grand prize, which con- sints of beads and bead-work, scissors, monoy, ncedlon, thrend, and o hundred other thingsdoar to the fominine heart. The children, too, are anxious lookers-on; snd ho who supposes the Indians never enjoy themsolves ought to see them ongaged in thia gnmo, where their whols soula appeared to be absorbed in pleasurable ox- citement. Itis called NI-U-WITZ, the Game of Hand; and, whilo it Is going on, & woman, at either end of the two rows of play- #r8, beats on the poles which separato them with all their might, kooping timo to the musio, snd incronsing the enthusiasm a8 much a8 pos- 10, Some of tho young squaws are handsome, blaok-syed croatures, with masscs of ravon hair, who would attract attontion apywhore. Their aright-colored_blankots set off thoir charma to e %raaml edvantage, aud they .¥ oar modest wnd decorous enough. For a long timo I was of spinion that thore was no such thing as a hand- \ome Indian girl, but in thia I was greatly mis- akon,—soms of thom boing VERY FAIR TO LOOX TUTON.

Bome yoars sgo, an old trapper discovered ‘what ho called tho TETRMFIED BEMAINS OF A GRIZZLY DEAT, and, going to one of tho sottlomonts, told of bis discovery, and boasted unnuh\om{:ly over it.

A day or two since, & couplo of trappers caught A TLARGE GRAY WOLY in ono of thelr traps, and procoodod to tako him ont of it, as they wished to koop him alivo until thoycould got him to thelr cabin, whoro ho would bo warm and onuily skinned. In order to looson him, onoof themen puta largo forked atick over hismeck, snd pinned him down to the ground, His fug wad rolessed from ihe trap, and thoy proceeded to put somo ropes round his neck. 80 doing, however, tho wolf, who was a poworful follow, gave a suddon wronch, froe- ing himealt, and, nt the samo time, biting o huge {]llx““ out of the log of one of the trappers, Ho on MAN WITH ALL I8 MIGHT, with ono leg hanging which hiad boen broken in tho trap. Tho dogs oponed after him full tilt, but hio. atraok into (o buskos, and, in a shor time, mado his oscapo. * The'trappers wore very indignant at this os- capo, and tho ono who was bitten declared *He was the dod-blamedoat cuss that over he struck.” For my part, I was glad to seo tho wolf gotb away, and, although I didwhat I could toon- courage tho dogs, was heartily pleased whon ho dleappeared amoang the dente bunches of willow. Wo liolped tho limping trappor home,—ho all the way vonting Lis wrath aguinst the whole tribe of wolvos, and declaring ho would yeb gob ovon with them’; and, from what I know of him, 1 have no donbt he will do so; though, from the immense pilo of wolf-skins ho hos'on band, I think it was the wolf's turn to got oven.

The portrait, made some- what younger, was, years aftorwards, transforred to canvas by the eame artist in Chicago, in tho famous picture of Jackson that now adorns the President's housa in Washington.

In fact, in the yoar 1871, the otitions in favor of woman's suffage in lng- fund bhad 186,976 signatures, and in tho year just closed theso Y1ad swolled to the numbor of 855, 806—while the meotings held in favor of 2!1‘5 osuge woro 172 ogainst 26 over tho preceding ear. ¥ In Germany tho Erograsa of woman is markoed not only in the fleld of education, but in that of philantbropy nnd social acienco.

In this ho re- futed tho theory of Prof. Bicchgff, who had do- nied the right of womun to hor fliness for kcl- entific studics. Prof. Bischoff alloged a8 a proof of this incapncity of woman that the woight of tho brain of woman is lesa that that of tho men in tho women of all nations and of all racos—and that this differenco is most observa- ble in the regions where intelligence nud con- science are most highly developed. Prof. Bpaoth replied that tho weight of tho cerobral mass Las nathing to do with tho dovelopment of intelli- gence, Einco thoro are animals whoso brain weighs b pounds whilst that of man does not woigh more than 8; and that, moreover, the Dram of woman wolghs moro proportionatoly than that of man, since hers is 1-85th of tho welght of hor body, and his avorages only 1-30ih o1 hin woight At Peath, tho Doputy Mayrow has presented a bill for tho ndmiesion of women to publicofiices, In Bolgium tho Logn d'Insogncomonto (the Toague of Instruotion), a vast socioty composed of thio most intalligant Liberala—whose foundor, J.
