A QUI; Bit una JO JV. Ala? Un nuil KN I II lin1>it?n<H. Thc report of Genera] Thomas concerning thu Territory or Alaska und lt? Inhabitants, hu? man ami phoenn, contains (he following Inter? esting tacts: Thu Aleuts, though strict members of the Greek Church, seem lu have no control over their passions for ardent spirits, nor correct Ideas in regard lo chastity ; consequently the effects Of conlacl willi Ufo Americans ure ap? parent, as diseases are common, and tliere are scarcely any mule, or female, who will not gel Intoxicated If they have the opportunity: the tlrsl Hiing thc- ask fm- is whisky. I believe much good might be done If one or two relia? ble purnong could be appoinfed to live anions iliem ns superintendent*. Such, If ol good Cliamctor, would have great iutlucnce, ns the Aleuts have grout respect for authority. To the credit of thc people o? Kenny mid the Islands of St. George and St. l'uul, I must say I SAW no evidence of dissipullon among them, due. nu doubt, lo their isolation, thoiisli I was in i. irn icd they were liable to Hie frailty of their race ll" Inducements wero offered. They Im? pressed me wfui their Intelligence and honesty: many of the men are Kkllhil mechanics, and their skin beats are creditable as models of grace and strengt h. On St. Tani ami Si. George only are the fur bearing seal found, and are killed for their furs and oil. The habits of these animals are peculiar. About Hie lasl ol April or early part of Blay, Hie old male senla arrive, und go on shore al the places frequented hy them, called rookeries ; thov make a thorough examination o? the ground, "then tho ?real body arrive, and in a short lime all have occupied their posi? tions. The females come up on shore und aro collected together In communities or families, by each one of Hie old seals, who possosocs sufficient powers lo maintain and guard his family ; thu young males anti supernumerary ones ure forced to lake their place out-side of Hie area occupied by thc ramilles, and If they attempt to Interfere with domestic arrange ment are summarily driven off. In iii cse J troubles terrible affrays occur. This arrange? ment around Hie rookeries makes lt very easy for thc hunters to place themselves between tho families and the young males, from whom only thu skin are taken, which, when they want lu kill, they do in parties of forty or fifty, all armed willi clubs. They get between the families and Hie young males, then drive them inland some two orlhrce miles distant, letting all not wanted for slaughter drop out by Hie way ; these return to tho rookeries. A'fter getting only ns many as they cnn skin and salt In one day lo the proper places, they are killed by stilkuis Hie noses of the animals willi Hm clubs. The next day ls devoted to packing. Hy this menus tho families are not disturbed, mid remain to rear their young. As tar as i can Judge, Hie business of Hie old males is lo compel the females lo hike care of their young until they have grown suOlclcnlly to take care ol themselves ; Ihcy then appear lo give up nil control over the females, who arc l>ermlltcd to leave their young and go Into the water, the old male still guarding and over? looking Hie young. In September all arc per? mitted to go Into thc Wuter, where they sporl during the day, coming on shore in the even? ing. Al this period, ail move further lnlustl and mindle together Indlscrinilmtlcly. If the autumn emil innes mild, ihey remain on lite Islands lill Hie latter part of October, when they disappear very suddenly, and have been seen going through Hie passes between the Aleutian islands, In n southerly direction. Nothing more of them Is seen until next spring, neither ls lt known where they pass tho winter. The number of seals on Hie island can only 00 estimated. In the height ol' thc seimon, oner tho young oro born, they arc esil mated all Hie way lrom ttve lo llncon.mil? lions ; bul they are countless, covering hun? dreds of acres, like sheep in a pen. The habits ot these animals ar? such, that if permitted to bo hunted nt random they would ho soon dri? ven from thc Islands. This has been proved by the Russians, who totally destroyed some rookeries before they knew how to treat them. II lt is desirable to perpetuate thc fur-benrln<' seal, one or two plnns should hu adopted. One ls, to contine the killing to the natives, per? mitting none hut authorized agents of the gov ornmeul to live on tho Islands, and pormil traders to purchase only after the skins have been prepared and the seals huro lett lor thc south. This course would necessitate thc sta? tioning of an ageut on each of thc Islands, to guam thc interests of tho government, and prevent the demoralization of tho natives by such unscrupulous traders as would not hesi? tate to furnish them with liquor for the pur? pose of cheating them. TUE lt O M AN AMPHITHEATRE. The following ls lrom Leckcy's " History of European Morals," dcsoriptlvc of tho bloodv spectacles offered for Hie amusement of the ancient Romans : Thc single combat became at Inst insipid, and every variety of atrocity was devised to sil mu?ate tho Hagging interest. At one Hmo a beor and a bull, chained together, rolled in tierce contest along thu sand ; at another, criminals, dressed in thc sk I US of wild beasts, wcru thrown to bulls, which were maddened by red liol irons or by darts that were tipped with burning pitch, l our hundred bears were killed on 11 single day under Caligula; throe hundred on another day limier Claudius. Under Nero, four hundred tigers fought with bulls and ?l?phants ; lour hundred bears nnd three hundred lions were slaughtered by lils soldiers. In a single day, at tho dedication of the Coliseum by Tims, rive thousand, animait perished. Under Trajan, Hie gaines continued for one hundred and twonty-thrco successive days. I.ions, tigers, elephants, rhinoceroses, hippopotami, giraffes, bulls, stags, even croco? diles and serpents, wore employed lo give novelty to thc spectacle. Nor was any form of human suffering wanting. The first Gordian, when edlic gave twelve spectacles. In each of which from one hundred and tiny to live hun? dred pair 01'gladiators appeared. Eight hun? dred pair fought at the triumph of Aurelian. Ten thousand men fought during thc games of Tralau. Nero Illumined his gardens during thc nigh I, by Christians burning tn their pitchy shins. Under Domitian, au army of feeble dwarfs was compelled to fight, and more than once female gladiators descended to perish in thc arena. A criminal personntlng a fictitious character wat nailed tn a cross and there torn by a bear. Another, representing Screvola, was compelled lo hold lils hand In a real Hame. A third, as Hercules, was burned alive upon the pile. So intenso was Hie craving for blood, that a prince was less unpopular If he neglcol?d thc distribu? tion of corn, tlmn if he neglected thc games, and Nero himself, on account of his munifi? cence In this respect, was probably thc sorcr oign who wits most beloved by tho Roman multitude, llellogabolus and Galer?as are re? ported, when dining, to have regaled them? selves with the sight of criminals lorn by wild beasts. It waa said of thc latter that "ho never supped without human blood." TUE FE HI A J li HI NO ER. Th? Successive Steps of her Career.

A wild man, wlio IH being cliased by parties of hunton and bounds, lives In Ibo woods fifteen miles northwest of Sioux City. The Sioux City Times says of him: This singular being ls entirely covered with a seemingly heavy coat of dark-colored hair, and he is as agile as a cat and us Heel as a deer, (lld settlers In lite region where the wild man has been seen, slate thal aboul Iwonty-lhree years since a Frenchman, with his wile and throe children, settled upon a piece ol' land on ibo bauks ortho Sig Sioux. Al that lime thc only occupants of this section consist oil of Hie Indians, who were thc sole owners of Dakota, sotnoiialf-broods and a few I-'rench settlers, most of whom look squaws for their wives. It is related that the French? man alluded lo did not live agreeably willi Ills family, that his afflictions were lavished upon tile dusky daughtor cr an Indian chief, that the white wife, learning ol' lids, upbraided her husband for the symptoms of his waning af? fections, and that one morning a' frieudly In? dian visiting the cabin of thc French mun, dis? covered thu doad bodies o: thc wile and chil? dren lying on the lloor. An examinationfliscovcred Hie fact (hat Ibo throat of the woman hud been cut from ear to oar, und Hie children had been clubbed to deal h by blows on Hie head with Hie stock of | a gun or some similar weapon. No clue to the murderer was ever discovered. The Frenchman lias never been seen in the country since. The supposlllon now ls thal lie committed a triple murder, thal reflecting on Hie horror ol' his crime lie became insane, took to tho wootls and resldodthore since, uuii thal the wild mau Hint has lately been seen mid (he French Bell 1er or laeuly-seren years since is one and Hie same person. It ls well known that many years since the majority ol' Hie Indians who resided In thc Uhf Sioux Tul? ley were, on account of the scarcity of game, lompelloil lo go further west, and as lt ls only within Hie last Iwo years thal the section of I country alluded to lins become settled, lt was very possible for a man lo live there without being discovered, or any person knowing his whereabouts. The whole adair ls wrapped up In such a singular mystery, that we refrain from cominenl cr surmise until we can speak intelligently upon the subject. FUIT NOMINIS UMBU A. The Identity of Jnnius omi Slr Phillp Francia Fully Established. The conclusive proof of thc identity of Fran? cis and Junina ls us follows : Upon the publication of thc fae similes ol'thc famous "feigned bund" of Junlus, a Mrs. King (n?e Giles,) of Youngsbury In Essex, at once recognized lt OS the handwriting of nu anony? mous nolo which she had received In 1770 nt Bath, with a copy of verses enclosed, wrllten In n different nnd unknown hand. From va? rious circumstances, she hud always believed and stated that this n tc came Irom Philip Francis; but ns the evidence on that point was not satisfactory, thc story attracted no great attention. Upon the publication of the "Life of Slr Phillp Francis," aboul two years ago, however, two lines of ibo verses In question were found rmotefl In a loller from Richard Tilghman, of Philadelphia, (elder brother of tho lute Chief Justice Tilghman) to Francis, dated September 2'J>,l773.in u manner plainly Implying that Francis would recognize them. This lcd to a renewed examination of tho original papers, when lt wag found that the copy of vorscB toas in Tilghman's handwriting ! Now, Tilghman, as appears from tho "Life of Francis," while a law student In thc Temple In 1709 and 1770-the two most important years of thc Junlus period-was tho lutluiale friend of Francis, who was his nctir relation, and was with him at Bath at the time the verses were delivered. These Tacts lcd to a most careful examination, by thc first cxpcrls In London, of the original note In which the verses were enveloped, and they unhesitatingly pronounce lt to be, beyond nil doubt, written In thc "feign? ed hand" of Junlus. It follows that Junlus was tho writer of thc note, lils friend Tilghman wrote thc verses (no doubt copied them for Francis:) and when, three years afterward, wc dna him quoting tho verses In a let? ter to Francis, Hie conclusion ls Irrepressible that one of thc two wrote thc noto which en? veloped thom. But the writer of the note waa Junlus, which Tilghman could not have been, because, among a thousand other reasons, the Junlus letters liegt n before his arrival in Eng? land, and continued after his return to Amer icar It follows, therefore, that Francis wns the writer; and thus, alter the secret has been kept In Impenetrable mystery for Just a century, a trivial accident has lcd to lu dlscoverv nnd ?? ene nhqninto iionivfiiHiration that Francis was Junlus. Wc may add that we have ourselves som pared tho fac-sim iles of the note with t hose of thc feigned hand of Junlus, and that of tho verses with numerous contemporaneous let? ters of Tilghman now in tho possession of his relations In this elly, nnd wo concur In the opinion of thc London exports that there can? not be a doubt ot thc identity In either case.
