Sketches from Central America—Rivas— The Indians in Nicaragua. We make the following extract from the Allgemeine Zeitung : When the Spaniards first put their feet on this beautiful country, and robbed the Cazique of Nicaragua of his gold, for which, as a guid pro que, they gave him a Christian baptism, it seemed to have been more alous and flourishing than at present chief and his neighbors were mighty lords, had many subjects and warriors, were-fond of dancing and of human flesh, (if Gonzales does not lie.) to which the first Spanish adventurers were not a little addicted. Yet, though the natives then were heathens and alti. beatenia they seem to have had a little moro brains in their curiously shaped skulls than the sad, stupid, leather-colored beings who now, as the descendants of those idol worshipers, in- habit these regions. In civilization, instead of advancing, they seem to have greatly re- ceded, although they say their rosary with as much devotion as any white Creole. The many wise and witty questions of the Cazique, proposed to the Spanish discoverer, embarrassed him not alittle For he wanted not only to know the cause of day and night, of the sun, the moon, and the earth, and of the origin of the first man, but whether the souls could really exist without bodies, as the white strangers assured him, and what they were doing afterlexving the body? He* also asked whether the Holy Father at Rome, the Viceregent of Christ, and the Emperor and King of Castile, of whose power the Spaniards had told him so much, would also have to die like other men? “ The Spaniards,” says Herrera, ‘* were not a little surprised to hear such questions from # half naked savage," It is very much to without any learning ” be regretted that Herrera and Pedro the Mar- tyr have not also given us the answers to 30 many keen and erafty questions. However, the former assures us they were perfectly sat- isfactory to the Indians. Who does not regret that a country in fer- tility a paradise, in position for commercial intercourse the most desirable spot on earth, should be in possession of this miserable race of people, whe, in times of peace, can make nothing of it but a couch of sloth, and in civil wars a den of robbers y * Prejunto asimismo si moria et Santo Padre de Roma, Vicario de Christo?

SS Mrs. Frorexce at Drury Lane.—Mrs. Florence, the American actress, who aston- ished the London world by the truly “ go-a- head’’ geniality with which she made her debut in the ‘‘ Yankee Housekeeper,’’ does not repose on the effect of a first sensation Another piece, not a whit better than the first, considered as a drama, but well adapted to the same purpose of displaying the New England ‘‘ star,”’ exhibits her in a new light. As the ‘‘ Yankee Housekeeper’ she made us learned in Maine peculiarities of voice and manner ; the * Mischievous Annie (the newer piece) she successively repreeenta half-a-dozen different characters, comprising a Spanish dancer and a British tar, who executes a horn- pipe Various, however, as are the parts she assumes. she shows in them all that reckless abandonment to the spirit of the situation that constitutes her principal charm, and dis- tinguishes her from any contemporary ac- tress. When she dances a hornpipe, she does not soften it into a lady-like sort of affair, but fearlessly puts on long familiarity with salt- water usages; when she takes the character of a semi-idiot she enlarges the smile to ove huge vacant grin, aad deluges her head with acataract of dishevelled hair. Possibly she muy now and then fay herself open to a charge of exaggeration, but her very style shows that such a cherge would cause her small an- noyance. Weakness she would shun at any price, but she would not flinch from a little extra demonstration of strength ; she resolves to color highly, and she carries out her reso- lution to the utmost. Where others of her compatriots bare gained mild approval by copying the manners of their Transatlantic home, she has created a sort of furore, is talken about as one of the notabilities of the day, and is selected for imitation by Mr Woodin, as a figure with which every one is supposed to be familiar. This is a pure tri- umph of origiuality.— London Times. Tae Eneuisn Porsoner.—-The London Chronicle of the 4th says: On Saturday, Mr George Palmer and the Rey. Thos. Palmer, the prisoner’s two broth- ers, attended him in Stafford jail, and al- though the Rev. gentleman prayed earnestly that the prisoner would confess, if guilty, he atonce said he had nothing to admit. The whole story, though appearing strong against him, was altogether false as to poisoning, ard that he was innocent, and the world, some day, would have the fact proven. No hopes were expressed that any reprieve could be obtained, but the most affectionate and ear- nest appeals were made by his brother Thom- as to him, that. he would confess if he had aught to make known. In the most calm and earnest manner he assured his brother of his innocence, sent some of his hair to his mother, sister and son, and begged that the latter might be assured that his father was murder ed, but not a murderer. The prisoner com- plained bttterly of Newton and Mills, whose evidence he declared to be false in its bearin; and extent. He begged that inquiries should be made into their evidence and character. He also complained of Lord Campbell, and expressed his firm conviction that he had not been fairly tried, but had been prejudged. His manner and demeanor were altogether unchanged, except when speaking of his ebild animothber. He sleeps and eats well, and expresses himself perfectly resigned to his ig- nominious fate; and says he has not the least hope of reprieve, as the public wants his blood to satisfy a medical theory, which he as a professional man, expresses his opinion of as “ diabolical ignorance.” Asout Hoors.—A lady, whose garment® formed an immense circumference, entered a store in Boston, and in doing so prostrated some dosen of flower pots containing valuable plants, which was ruined. The sivrekeeper intends to sue the lady for damages, so that the law may settie how large a space a lady’s circumambients may oceupy. A gentleman remarks, ‘says the Albany Ar- gus, that while riding in an omnibus, the oth- er day, the vehicle was stopped at. a crossing, when three or four females entered, who, ou taking their seats, commenced such a patting of the sides of their dresses, that for some time, (being ignorant of the real object.) he was under the imprression that they were go- to crow. 4 see in Broadway windows, says the Times, a ‘seamless skirt,’’ for ladies, adver- tised.

The Philadelpbia correspondent of the New York Sunday Dispatch tells the following story: Among the characters of this town is one of the stock company of the Arch street Theatre. Hie is famed for his remarkable mendacity, and the imperturable — froid with which he perpetrates it. Indeed, like Capt. Kear- ney, he is so accustomed to lying that after a few repetitions of a Munchausenism he gets to belicve it himself; and if called upon would, LT have no doubt, endorse his veracity by an oath. A day or two since he was sitting ina certain hostelrie which actors most de fre- quent, entertaining a select audience of bump- Kins with an account of bis first i tion of Hamlet at the People’s Theatre in Cincin- nati. “ You'd better believe,” said he, “that the citizens of Porkopolis were surpri: at my rendition of that part. They'd never seen any body do it but Eddy and McKean Bu- chanan, and good acting is what they like Iwas called out five times in the course of the piece.” There was a slight sensation at this remark, and some ineredulit: wo soegane when a tall, sandy-haired lathy Yankee, who had been in- dustriously expectorating against an old stove, straightened bimself out. ** Boys,’’ said he, “I don’t want to hear nary doubt about this air business, bein’ as I was in Cincinnati myself and seen him play Hamlet.” “Ob! you saw him, did you?”’ “ Certainly; I seen him called out, too.”’ The actor here put in a word of depreca- tion. ‘These doubts of my veracity, gentlemen, occasion me great pain. I trust that what this stranger hassaid will tend to conclusively substantiate my statement ”’ ** But you said you were called out five times,’’ said another, “‘ how was that ?’’ * Well, the first point 1 made was the solil- equy, and the audience called me to the foot- lights then. In the interview with Ophelia they repeated the demand, and three times afterwards I was reluctantly compelled to obey a similar summons.’’ Turning to the Yankee, the actor then ap- pealed to him to corroborate this statement. “Is it not so?”’ he asked. “Well, gentlemen,” said Yank, as he chased an imaginary flea through his coat lining by the most remarkable writhing, his eyes mean- while lighting up with a sardonic, grinning smile, which disclosed a row of tobacco stain- ed teeth; ‘I was thar at the People’s Thea tre the very night that are feller’s a talkin’ about, an’ I seed him called out five times that are night, tew.”? “ You did, hey?” * Certingly I did.”” “ Any objection to swear to it.’ “ Nary objection; I'd ar to iton a stack of bibles big enough to divide areound among all the niggers in Afriky, so as to give every one on em a copy of the Scriptars.”” This was a settler for a minute, when one old Jerseyman who was present wanted to know who called the actor out. “Ab, gentlemen,”’ said Yank, “ef you'd axed me that at first you'd hev saved this cha from telling a thunderin’ lie. He was cali out five times, four times by a thunderin’ dose of ‘ipecac’ that I put in his whisky bot- tle, and the last time by a deputy sheriff. who had a warrant for him for hookin’ a neck-tie.

Senriventatisu.—Mrs. Swisshelm, . notio- ing the publication of a new love story, says : “All that stuff about woman’s love has been said over and over and over again a hun- dred thousand times, to the great detriment of the best interests of humanity. There is no kind of necessity for using the press to per- suade girls that itis very romantic and wo- manly to love scoundrel ; to leave her affec- tions unguarded by reason or experience, and drift helplessly into sin, shame and despair, as an evidence of her unsuspecting woman- hood. “It’s not true that woman’s affections are any stronger or more durable than man’s. We think the opposite is the case, and that two-thirds of all the women who pine away or die of love, do so for want of something better to do ’” 7 ‘Everything calculated to make love-sick- ness a feminine acquirement is rig jury; but to strew the path of the suicide with the flowers of poetry and romance is in a degree repre bio. te meget motto to guide a, girls through the mazes of love is, ‘do right and throng, God.” A girl who bas done right bas little cause to mourn over the fickleness of a pretended lover. Better that he should change his mind before than after marriage. , The following is from the Boston Post, Aa vsti every way reliable in the case : The report that Mr, Forrest, who is now on a flying visit to his friends in this city, is to be married, is a fabrication, as is also the rumor going the rounds that Mr. Forrest con- templates acting an ent in the prin- cipal cities in the States and in the Canadas, and then to retire from his professional labors. To neither of these rumors is there any foun- dation in truth.
