PAINTED DOGS.-A recent traveler in South America, who accompanied a number of Jumnas on a tapir hunt, says that, besides the hunters, their party composed mainly of women aud boys of the village, together with a sooro or two of dogs. ?f the latter, ho adds: "These dogs were curious creatures to look at. A stranger, ignorant of tho customs of tho Jumnas, would havo been ut some loss to account for the peculiarity of their color. Such dogs I have never seen before. Some wero of a bright scarlet, others wero of yellow, others blue, others mottled with a variety of tints. What could it mean? But I knew well enough. The dogs bad been dyed. Yes, it is a custom among many tribes of South American Indians to dyo, not only their own bodies, but tho hairy coats of tboir dogs with brilliant colors, obtained from vegetable juices, such as the red huitie, the yellow roca, and the blue of the white indigo. The light gray, often white, bair of these animals favors tho staining process, and tho effect produced pleases the eye of their savage masters; on my oye, tho effect was strango and fantastical. I could not restrain my laughter when I first scanned the curs in their fanciful coats . Pioturo to yourself a pack of scarlet, orango and purple dogs." Englishmen resident in India have lately manifested an inclination to adapt themselves to the customs of the country rather too freely, as far as matrimonial tie* are concerned. Heretofore it was only necessary for them to formerly em? brace Mobammedism in order to in- ' crease their family of wives ad libitum. The Madras Presidency is now in conse? quence considering tho expedionoy of making it unlawful for a Christian to ohango bis religion, provided ho is a married man. In this event, sauoo for the goose will no longer bo sance for tho gander. Agents from Gormnny and Franco aro busily engaged in buying ap horses in England. A Mntller't Strntrgy. The upper circles of society of the North tire very much excited over tho abduction of a child &<f Geu. Egbert L. Viele, at Lake Mahopac, by his divorced wife, who had come over from Europe in the Bteamer Vandalia for tho purpose, aud who returned to Eaglaud when she accomplished it, carrying the child with I her. All the parties are in tho highest society. Gen. Vielo and his former wife are both well known in Virginia, where he commauded a department, including Norfolk, after tho war. Tbe Now York Kcp7-ess, of tho 7th, gives tho particulars of tho affair, tho occurrence being al? ready received by telegraph. We copy a portion of its account: On Weduesday last, tho shores of Lake Mahopac wero the scene of au episode in real life, and of a character most thoroughly melo-dramatic. Oar readers may well remember the litigation regard? ing tho Viele children and tho conduct of Judge Barnard therein, who, having made au order for tho mother to have the custody of tho two youngest chil? dren, neutralized its effect by forbidding it to bo entered. By arrangement be tweon tho parties, a Connecticut divorce wns agreed upon, Mrs. Vicio boiug un williug to manufacturo testimony as ti the residence required by tho laws o: that State. By some blunder of th? lawyers, nothing wus stated iu thu do cree as to the guardianship of tho chil dion, and only oue child. the youuges boy, was given to Mrs. Viele after thi divorce. After escaping a trap laid t< steal him from her, Mrs. Viole took hin to Europe, and while there, beard of ho husband's marriage* With womanlik impetuosity, Mrs. Viele wroto to Ne\ York that she would bavo the clcrgymai deposed for violutiog the canons of th church by solemuizing the marriage, om that she would returo at once to remov her daughter. Arrivod in Now York (per Vandalia,) Mrs. Viele took into he confidence two lady friends of goo standing and two gentlemen. One c them, rumor has it, is au officer high i the United States army; the other, it i believed, a well-known lawyer of thi city. Thursday night week, the tw gentlemen (appropriately disguised) too a ruu to Lake Mahopac, where Got Viele resides with bis newly-wedded wil and former wife's children. The bou: of Gen. Vielo was carefully surveyed L the tourist??, who learned that a Bock Mouutaiu bear was kept chained in tl rear garden. One of our tourit-ts, bavin some acquaintance with Gen. Viol called upon him, and soon made frieui with him, bis new wife aud tho litt girl, for whose abduction these elabora preparations were being made. To kee up their character, oar tourists fiuishc up with a pedestrian excursion; aud i forming the clerk of tho Gregory Hous while paying their bills, of their iate tion to return the following Tuesdn they trudged off to Peekskdl on foot. B turning to New York, a pressing bm ness engagement was made with Ge Viele for the following Wednosda (September 4,) at tbe Geuornl's office. On the evening of Wednesday, the 4 of September, our military friend fl filled his promise at the Gregory Hou? and the next morning watched the Ge oral off by the train. This ho te graphed to New York, aud the foi minutes past 1? train bore from N York Mrs. General Viele, her legal i viser and ono of the lady friends bef< referred to. Tho military gen Hem met them at the depot, Lake Mahop with a carriage, and the party, w many inoambrauces, for Mrs. Viole < signed taking u long journey-what apt word was the old Roman "impc monta"-started ron nd the West sh of the lako to General Viole's resideu avoiding the village by this detour, i coming upon a pic nic on their ro Arrived at the General's, the lawyer down, rang the door bell, asked for General, and he being out, for JV Viole No. 2.

Bat M?SB Vielo, tl talton by surprise, proved herself roine. One can ouly regret thu courage and presence of mind woi displayed upon tho proper side, flew after her mother, but was st? by the two gentlemen, on wboi furiously turned, tearing tho coat < to tatters and inflicting a severe bb tho forehead of tho other. Thi Mrs. Vielo bad snflicieut start, th tlemon now let go their bold, and Miss Viele darted after her moth< sister, and would have caught them, had not the lawyer seized her rouud the waist. Miss Yielo'B foot trippod, and she fell heavily on tho gravel, bearing tho gentleman ubovo her to tho grouud, but .seizing his hut-a peculiar ono, bor? rowed expressly to mislead-she carried it off in triumph. Tho party drovo off, tho mother kissing ber child frantically, and for a timo all went merry as a mar? riage-bell, except that uothing would induce tho driver to hasten his horses he evidently doubting whether nil was right, aud apparently wishing himself and his team well out of tho business. Presently, our lady friend cried out: "We arc followed!" Our lawyer, look? ing over the carriage, saw a man coming ou ut a hard gallop, with a revolver in hand, and whispered to the military friend to draw his revolver. Down came the pursuer, and leveling tho revolver at the gentleman, demanded the child. The military gentloman, coolly presenting his piece, said in n threatening tone, "Don't shoot; drop your muzzle," and down it went; tho horseman galloping on to the pic-nio party, and appealing to them for aid. Some three or four stepped into tho road to stop the car? riage, though this was not necessary, aa tho darkey pulled np and refused to pro cued till the matter was settled. Several threatening faces now ap? proached tho carriage aud demanded tho child. "Never!" said Mrs. Gen. Viele, drawing herself up. "NeverI it is my child, and you shall cut my,heart out bo fore yon take it." Tho lawyer jumped dowu, and telling Mrs. Viele to appeal to tho women, be went among the mon and addressed them. Tho ba ttl o was won; but, meanwhile, Mrs. Viele had berni addressing the mo? thers thora, and one of them, a leader among them, soon said to ber, "You keep tho child." "I will while I have lifo," said Mrs. Viele, passionately; and the lawyer, turning to the good woman, asked her to speak to the men, whioh she did with effect. Tho noble-looking man before referred to, standing six foot four, and broad in proportion, advanced to the horses' hoads, and said, "drive on!" Still the driver hesitated; tho law? yer jumped into the carriage aud urged him on; military friond ordered him on; the horseman with tho revolver (having since dismounted) made a motion to spring to tho horses' heads, but was held back hy the noblu-lookiug mau and another-ooe on each side holding him by his coat cuffs-and thc lawyer, half drawing his sword-stick, told bim that if ho again dared tu stop the carriage, ho would put thu sword through him. The parly drove on to Puekskill, but reflect? ing that they would have to wait over an hour and a half for tho train, during which timo another crowd and fuss might be got up, orders wero given to thc driver to go on to Moutrose. This bo declared his horses could not do, and somo mis? trust being felt of him, ho was sent on to tho depot with some of tho party, wbilu tho rest took anothor carriage and proceeded to Garrison's, where they got safely on board the cars. Sufficient time was given to Gen. Vielo to proouro a habeas corpus, and, nt thu same timo, an intimation was givon him of the uaturu of the defence which could bo raised, and no steps being taken, or at least none being heard of, Mrs. Viele and her child left to-day for Europe Last year news carno to Philadelphia Quakers from their Quaker missionary among tho Otoes, that the squaws were all destitute of bonnets. This destitu? tion horrified tho Quakeresses. A sub? scription was started, 100 bonnets were bought and straightway despatched by express to tho Otoe Superintendent. Next day after the bonnets arrived, the squaws weru all congregated, and a bonnet was nicely fitted on the head of each by tho wife of tho missionary. But this hoad-gear was speedily taken off to be lookod at, aud then no Indian belle knew bow to roplaoo ber bonnet the right side boforo; nor was this tho worst of it. No Otoo bravo can sit down between Run-riso and sun-set with? out disgrace. Ho may He, or leau, or kneel, but ho must not sit, any moro than a Moslem muy eat between sun and sun in Ramadan. To guard against a warrior's unwillingly transgressing this anti-down-sitting law, the dress ol tho Otoo bravo is provided with u "crow cushion" so contrived ns to prick him in the seat of honor as soon us be begins to sit down. In cons?quence of thia cus? tom, no sooner did tho squaws bring home the bonnets than thu braves, re? garding those articles us crow cushions, seized them ns ii suitable costume for themselves, though superfluous for Indian women.

Duncan, Pomeroy, Lyon & Co. have done tho Liberal-Democratic canso a deal of good corvice, which, though ontirely unintentional on their part, wo are novcrtboless profoundly grateful for. They havo demonstrated beyond all sort of doubt tho truth of our opinion in re? gard to tho movonieut which, beginning in Missouri, reached a fitting and glori? ous consummation at Cincinnati and Baltimore. That movement, a-? wo havo always contended, was, and is, pre-emi? nently a popular oue. Professional politicians bad nothing to do with its in? ception, and little to do with its success so far. Born out of a great public ne? cessity, thc people recognized its wis? dom and patriotism at once, and rallied to its support with a unanimity unparal? leled in the history of American politics. Those leaders-some of them of the highest prominence-who opposed the revolution at tho outset, have all given in their adherence to it, and are now working zealously to secure its triumph in November. Tho masses havo shown themselves wiser and stronger than those who assumed to bo their masters, and with eyes firmly fixed upon the object in view, have marched steadily forward to its accomplishment. Yet there were some fools and sceptics who professed to believo that, tho busi? ness which culminated iu the doable no? mination of Greeley and Brown waB no? thing more than a canningly devised trick-a trick which would explode and dissolve into thin air whenever n hand could bo found boldenongh to apply the proper test. Blanton Duncan and his assooiates, tools of the Radical party though they were, have applied the test; and that, too, auder most favorable cir? cumstances. Selecting for the meeting of their Convention that inevitable lull j in the Presidential contest which always precodos the final Btruggle; aided by all i the influence of a oorrupt and desperate administration, which saw in this revolt the only chance to avoid disastrous de? feat, they tried the experiment at Louis? ville and achieved an ignominious failure. .'The disaffected Democracy," about ! which Badioal journals and orators have j said so much, obstinately refused to rally around the Bourbon standard, and the only persons found willing to "die in tho last ditch" aro a few fossilized gen? tlemen already buried in that convenient grave. lu short, tho Louisville fiasco, even more than the Baltimore Conven? tion, has shown that tho Democratic party are not to bo turned aside from their purpose by clamor or clap-trap, the assaults of open enomies or tho specious arguments of pretended friends; bat have accepted tho Liberal candidates aud platform in good faith, and intend to vote accordingly. Bourbon opposition to Greeley adjourned sine die with the body which failed to give it shape aud force; we shall hear no moro of it for the rest of tho campaign, and as thc strag? glers and camp followers aro now driven to the rear, the fight between the two political armies may begin without fur- ' ther ceremony or delay. Oue, and only one, rogret we fee) in contemplating tho Louisville Convention. A young man of fine talents and brilliant prospects died there-John Quincy Adams, of Massa? chusetts, Over his untimely gravo it is in order to soatter a few flowers and drop a few tears. The flowers will wither, the tears evaporate, but no resurrection can ever come to tho dead who might have i lived, an honor to himsolf and a blessing to the conntry, had he paid due attention to tho signs of the times. [Missouri Republican. NEW YORK STREET CARS-THE PLEA? SURES OF TRAVEL IN THE METROPOLIS. The New York Tribune says: "From an early hoar on Saturday night, the cars on the Third avenue line were crowded with ruffians, who sang obscene songs aud otherwise insulted re? spectable ladies and gentlemen. They mounted upon tho roofs, and beat time i to their music on tho windows with their heels. A car became crowded by the time it reached the Bowery, and soon af? terward throe Nineteenth Ward ruffians, led by one Shay, entered tho car and commenced a fight. About a dozen of tho passengers wore soon giving and re? ceiving blows as rupidly as tho crowded condition of the car would permit. Several ladies who were preseut shrieked; tho peaceably-disposed passengers near the door jumped oiV, while a lew shoved ' themselves through the windows, in some instances carrying away tho sash with them. Tho driver was begged to stop tho oar, but obeying tho orders of the roughs ho refused to do so. The fight continued from Twonty-Beveuth to near Thirty-seventh Btreet, endangering the life of every passenger remaining in tho car. The assailants mounted the seats, and used their boots on the heads of all who came in their way. At length a pas? senger cried for 'police,' and soveral mon from tho Thirly-Beventh street station stopped tho car. They arrested a man who lay insensible on tho floor and a friend who bad fought in his defence, but allowed the ruffians to escape." THE DEAD BODY OP A WOMAN FOUND. While out gunning on Thursday, Mr.D. Grimsu found the dead body of a wo? man in a ditch, about two miles and a half from Savannah. Tho body was apparently that of a white woman. The skull was fractured to such an extent as to cause death, and a coroner's jury re? turned a verdict of murder by some person or persons uuknown. When found tbo body was clad in a calico dross with pink flowers and ouo other garment. There wore no shoes on tho feet, and no hut on tho head. Thu face and entiro carcass was horribly mutilated, baviug been eaton by dogs and buzzards until it was somewhat difficult to decide readily whether it was that of a white woman or negro. There has been a collision between the j French Government and the populace of j Lyons, growing ont of religious teaohio? in schools. WONDER CAVE-ICE THAT DOES NOT MELT.-The Nashville Bannar of the 3d instant, publishes au account of the die oovery of a cave in Wayne County, Tone, containing ice of the solidity of rook and which suffers no diminution in bulk by nae. Its frigidity ia greater than that of ordinary ice, and so intenso that it cannot bo carried in the naked hand. Hotel keepers and many families in the vicinity are using it as a substituto for ice.

The chil? dren fondle them with perfect confi? dence, twine them around their necks and kiss them. Tho German band, who played at the Boston Jubilee aud then gave concerts in Baltimore and at other points, are hav? ing a row in Berlin upon the division of tho money made in this country.

A deck hand brought him a life pre? server, but ho refused to accept of it, whereupon he was seized by the collar and jerked violently to his feet, with the injunction, "Do something for yourself, man, before you ask for help."
