COLUMBIA. S: C. Friday Horning, August ll, 1871. Civilization, with all its attendant blessings, is rapidly spreading nmong tho aboriginal inhabitants of Dakota. They already have a newspaper printed in their own languago, though we fear it is edited, at lea?t in part, by some ex? patriated Jenkins of the New York press. This 'enterprising journal is called "lapekaoatrfiue" in the Dakotan dialect, or "Portable Talk" in English-a much better name for a newspaper than many which, prevail in this country. lape kaoauhue has a column of "Fashionable Gossip," which gives ns all the news .from the beau monde- out there, and. some of it is singularly interesting, as the following translation will ?how: - "A brilliant assembly convened on Sunday at the palatial wigwam of the venerable Chief.Glass-Eye, to celebrate, the . nuptials of his blooming daughter, French-Mustard, and. of the valiant Soung ohieftain, Wiiiskoy-Straight. The ride was gorgeously appareled in a ma? genta horse-blanket, trimmed with three-, ply carpet, out bias. The happy pair proceeded at once to Ground Hog's Glory, the country rancho of Ace-High, tho groom's uncle, where they purpose io tarry half e, moon. "Frairie-Ohioken, the athletic and ac? complished daughter of his Excellency Nnvy-Plog, the. big chief of the Soutn Sioux Nation, ian walk off under a big? ger baok-load of buffalo beef than any other squaw in the Buckskin Basin. "A chaste and elegant war-dance was executed, last evening, at G?rter-Snake Lodge, as a suitable send-off fora picked band of braves, who bave sharpened their sheath-knives for a choice selec? tion of Arapaho scalps. Bone?Spavin and Shagbark-Hiokory wero conspicuous for the energy and abandon of their per? formance. Yoong Hambletonian flashed through the rough-and-tumble mazes of the dance in a coat of yellow ochre and ?opal varaish; Small For Sam appeared in venetian red, with white trimmings; Todpolo in the most dazzling vermillion; while the paint and feathers of the en? tire company were of the most recherche description. -The war-whoop of Smooth Bore was noticeable for its melodious quality." We have nothing from Long Branch, Saratoga or Newport that is in better^ taste Yhan -that. And jot, we boast of our superior, civilization. TRON-CLAD CHURCHES.-At a time wiii a so muoh money is spending in building oh ur oh os, a a ul) j cet of deep in? terest to all-.denominations is the rela? tive value of the varions, materials used for this purpose, and the advantages of the different styles- of architecture. In New York a warm controversy in in pro? gress, privately, between certain old and new Behool- architects on theso matters. The "iron-clad" church built last year in Brooklyn for the Rev. T. De Witt Tal mage's congregation, and which, though seating 8,200 people, cost only $35,000, is attracting much attention, and is tho chief canse of the controversy, since many congregations not overflowing with wealth, but desirons of having handsome churches, aro disonssing the propriety of following the example of the owners ot this "Brooklyn Taberna ole." This tabernacle was erected in the ? following manner: A frame-work of lim? ber was raised and inlaid with brick. Boarding was then nailed, on diagonally, outside and io, and fluted iron was nailed over this. It is claimed that the fluted iron is a great aid to the preacher, as tho'same voice will bo much easier hoard in such a building than in one of the same size and configuration that is plas? tered. Conversations held with various loading architects dovelo po the fact that the majority of them are greatly op? posed to this new and "flimsy" church architecture. . Tho- New York Ev?ning Mail has seen a letter on the subjeot of narrow gunge railways* from Mr. Robert Fairlie, tho distinguished English engineer, who has been identified from the first with the narrow gauge in Europe. He writes that the experiments .made in. Russia are completely successful, and as evidence of it gives the foot that trains of 345 tons are. hauled by light engines over light rails up an inolihe of one in eighty for five miles-251 tons of the whole amount carried being paying freight. This is 2.78 paying tons for every one of dead weight. On roads of tho present gauge in this country, the proportion of puying to'dead weight is*one to one, so that, aa Mr. Fairlie puts it, while Russian nar? row gauge roads carry 254 tons in 03 tons of oars, we require 254 tons of cars at least to givo the same results. Mr. Fairlie gives it as his deliberate opinion that tho engine bearing bis name, with light rolling stock on a two-foot gauge, xviii perform a greater servioo than the best broad gauge road in the United States, and that there will bo a great saving besides. He prefers the three foot gauge to all others, behoving that it has a greater capacity than any other ever attempted. ?- m * '? - The New York Mail says: Tho. daily in?vol in und out of New York to su? burban places is immense, -and rivals, that of Loudon. A million people a week is the record so far, while from Newark alone thero are eighty-eight trains daily to tho cjty. Follj one-half, if not mere, of our business men live out of town, and the metropolis is got? tingtobe a. mere workshop and count? ing house. People of moderate incomes aro forced to Beek a leas expensive living place, and only the very rich or the very poor remain behind. Detroit has a baso ball dub (colored) called the Waving Lilies. Philadelphia, with that blind disre? gard for propriety which has so long bean its .chief characteristic, resents.Ho? race Greeley's ..-advice; .to remove from Independence Hall "ali extraneous mat tor, except the j?elios,proporly pejftaiqing to tho revolutionary struggle and its close." Said "matter" being understood to consist of captured Southern stand arda and the portraits of modern still living heroes. The Evening Bulletin fairly howie with patriotic indignation at the proposition,, calls it a folly, a crime, aud soorns to propitiate "any mun in whom tho spirit of rebellion still rankles^as a root ot bitterness." If the editor of this journal was.a mau of tho enlarged observation, liberal ideas aud common charity his calling demands, ho would at once discover that the ques ? tion is simply one of good taste alone,; neither principle nor patriotism being imperiled by an aot of courtesy, even if extended to a fallen foe. Only narrow minded bigotry and a contempt for the amenities could possibly fail to make this proper discrimination. We cannot forget, howev.er, that Phi? ladelphia was always sadly lacking in this respect, aud is rather renowned for its gaucheries, which, while sometimes springing from good motives, are never? theless so essentially little in their nature as lo have often made io times past the unskillful laugh and the judicious grieve. A case in point returns to ns. Upon the occasion of the Princo of Wales' visit to the -Quaker City, he was entertained at the Point Breezs Park, and on that occasion it was-deemed the 'proper thing to bring General Washing? ton's state coiroh-exaotly reproducing his establishment, in team and livery out upon the'track-for his old enemy's grand-son and the city's guest to feast his eyes upon. For fear this delicate attention would not be noticed, it was farther, deemed courteous in the half dozen occupants of the old revolutionary memento, to drivo up in front of tho stand and give the Prince a personal in? vitation to "jump in and ride around tho traok." None present doubted the credit due on the score of sarcastic bra? vado, though many, marvelled at the quiet toleration afforded to such gross impropriety and ill-breeding. Else? where it is taught, and, we believe, gene? rally admitted, that a regard for the feelings of others is the oorner-stone of gentility. Certainly Cou.-Washington shared that opinion, and the wanton, though petty, not was a gross libel upon his memory and character. lu the case of Independence Hall, as the editor of the Bulletin truly remarks, it belongs to Philadelphia, and that city's people have a right to do as they please with regard to it. - Far be it from we of the Sonth to question them; still we might mildly urge that it is rather ex? pecting too mnqh to, ask co-operation in a groat public celebration at the expense of humiliation and insult, particularly when it is to be avoided by a simple act of common courtesy, prompted alone by the dictates of good taste. Among tho good and chivalrous of all ages, such op? portunities have rather boon welcomed than resented; but if Philadelphia's loyalty is so imperviously adamantine as to resist the least ton oh of feeling, we aro content they should rejoice in their ex? ceptional glory, while wo look on to marvel-and to pity. [New Orleans Times. When tho green-eyed monster plants his envenomed fangs in tho vitals of a West Tennessee youth, it is always best for the whole neighborhood to look out Tor squalls. Some days ago there was a densely attended wedding not very far from Jackson, in that end bf the State. Among the very few who wore not pre? sent on tho occasion was a young man who was .known to bo desperately in love with the bride, nod whose heart and baud she had "rejected with scorn." In the midst of the marriage ceremony tho house was suddenly shaken to its very foundations by something resembling a mixture of earthquakes aud discharges of artillery. Tho rejected lover, iu or? der to bo revenged, hud piled up a num? ber of shells under the smoke-house and touched them off with a train of powder. The scene which followed tho explosion is said to have beggared description. The smoke-iionso, with its several thou? sand pounds of bnoon, was hurled high into tho air and- scattered to the four winds of heaven. Tho bride fainted in the arms of her adored ono, tho rest' of the calico screamed, the men Bwore, and for some little timo tho wildest conster? nation prevailed. Meanwhile tho young mau, with his soul steeped in the sweets of rovonge, took to his heels and has never been soon since. Voting ladies of West Tennessee who are about to marry should have their rejected lovers bound over to keep out from under the smoke? house with their shells. * ' Thomas Jefferson wrote of Mario An? toinette: "This angel, so gatfdily paint? ed in tho rhapsodies of Burke, with some smartness of fancy, bot no sound sense, was proud, disdainful of restraint, indignant nt nil obstacles to hor will, eager in tho pursuit of pleasure, and firm enough to hold to her desires or perish in their wreck. Her inordinate gambling and dissipations with those of tho Count d'Artois end others of her oliqne bad boon a sensible item in the exhaustion of tho treasury which called into action tho reforming baud of the nation; and hor opposition to it, her in? dexible perverseness and dauntless spirit, led herself to the guillotine, drew the King on with her, and plunged the world into crimes and calamities which will forever stain the pages of modern history." SiN?unAn.-Tho first battle of the late war and tho surrender of Lee's army *bo?h took place on lands belonging to Mr. Wilmer McLean, of Virginia. Tho widow of a man who died in Iron ton, Ohio, of delirium tremens, has re? covered $5,000 damages from tho man who furnished -tho whiskey. . PRINCES' WAGES.-Tho salaries and ex? penses of the royal family of Eogland are defrayed from the ioootuo of . th,0' . Crown Lands. This amounted, during I tba year ending 31 at March, 1870, Ito ??447,724, all of which, exoept a small, i por" ooo tog?, wont for tho maintenance of tbe^ Queen sud bet hounohold. Tho Queen Ima nu annual allowance of ?385, UUO, of which ?60,000 are set aside for ber privy pu rue-tbat is, uses beyond any necessary expenses wbiob Parlia? ment cnn anticipate; the salaries of bor household (?231,260;) tho pensions of rotired servants (?44,240;) and even the royal bounty (?13,200) being provided for specially. These aro tho. Bums fixed by tho Orst Act of Parliament formed during Victoria's reign, and which Mr. Gladstone is so often referring to in Par? liament as a "contract" which cannot be -gain said or come short of. Tho Queen, besides these SIIUIK, hus the proceeds of the estates of tho Duchy of Lancaster, wbiob are taken care of as public proper? ty, and wbiob yielded ber, during tho period referred to, a net incomo of ?31, 000. Tho Prince of Wales, in like man? ner, as Duke .of Cornwall, enjoys the rentals of tbat rich Duchy, amounting to ?63,537. Tho annual allowances, therefore, of tho Queon nod her ROUS aud daughters, including tkeso sums, and reduced to American currency, ure as follows: Victoria, Si,600,000; Prince of Wales, annuity, $200.000; Prince of Wales, rentals, S317.935; Duchess of Oambridgo, $30,000; Princess Augusta, ?15,000; Duke of Cambridge, 860,000; PriucoBS of Teck, $25,000; Princess Alice, 830.000; Prince Alfred, ?60,000; Princess Helens, $30,000; Princess Louise, $30,000; Prince Arthur, (?) $50,000; total, so far, $2,447,935. We say "total so far,*' for there aro still two soions of royalty to be endowed. Prince Leopold, who, if tho Parliament shall not grow stiogy before bo shall come of age, in 1874, will, doubtless, be granted ?10,000 a year; und Princess Beatrice, who will ask for ?6,000 a year whenever ehe shall be allied to n scion of some royal family, or, perchance, to one of her mother's subjects, like ber sister' Louise. In view of the numeronancHS of the royal family, And the increasing demand of tbe Democrats for retrench? ment in tbe civil list, it must, undoubt? edly, be a source of great gratification to the ministry that there are bat two princes left on their bands to be cared for. These young Guolpbs, in turn, need not give themselves any very seri? ous concern as to the matter of dowry, since the opposition in tho Commons to an allowance ba's increased only eight votes-viz: from, three to eleven-since Louise was endowed; and thin rate of progression, whether arithmetically or geometrically reckoned, would not yield a majority if continued through two moro votoB. The Chicago Times publishes an ac aount cf an accideut at a funeral: "The parlors where the. coffin was resting were exceedingly full of people, so that the unusual weight upon the floor caused it to give way during the address of the minister, and * precipitated the wbole crowd, collin, minister and mourners, into tho cellar. Tho room below was used as a pantry or store-room and dai? ry, and contained a number of pans of milk, jars of butter, jam, preserves, ?c., so that almost every one wns accommo? dated with a liberal daubing of one or moro of these articles. The Chicago lady, who informed the writer of the ca? tastrophe, was particularly fortunate, managing to get ono foot into a jar of butter, another into a pan of milk, while a shelf of honey was deposited in ber lap. To add to tho confusion, the collin was broken by tho fall and thc corpse landed in a barrel of soft soap." A correspondent of the London Times, writing from Venice, describes it remark? able and interesting relic which is not generally known to exist, but was exhi? bited to him during u recent visit tb the Correr Museum, tho contenta of which aro now soon to bo removed to tho well known Fouducu del Tnrchh This is tho preserved bead Of Marino Falieri, tbe Venetian Dogn, decapitated 500 years ago, who is bust known iu America and Eu gland us the hero of Byron's tragedy.

Tho commissioners of public parks have allotted a suitable silo for the monument. Tho latest phase in tho Wharton mys? tery is gived in tho following despatch from Baltimore, which wo find in u Phi? ladelphia paper: "Strong circumstantial evidence of the guilt of Mrs. Wharton will bo developed, and bused on tho rea? son why she was going to Europe. It is. alleged that she endeavored to poison the wife of a well known merchant of Baltimore, who, with his family, went to Europe some weeks sinco to escape Mrs. Wharton's company. It is r> tuted that Mrs. Wharton had conceived a groat affection for this lady's husband, nud that she' was prepariug to follow him abroad, when suspicious circumstances detuined her. It is believed that the evidence to be given from tho parties in Europe will bo moro conclusive of ibo woman's guilt than all tho other testi? mony put together.
