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 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

and the next morning watched the Ge

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

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. Tho next day the
squaws appeared bareheaded, but each
I warrior WHS tricked out with a bonnet,
not on his hoad, but as a pnunier, on
quito another part of his person. Nor
could any disinterested spectator fail to
confess thnt the fashionable Amorioau

dent borrows enongn iron to lay tou
miles, puts it down, draws his $15,000;
takes np tho iron, relays it on the next
ton miles, draws tho second $15,000; and
repeats this process until tho whole 120
miles aro built. Then tho borrowed
iron is returned, the road is left in pre?

THE GOOD DONE AT LOUISVILLE.
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.

stopped tho car. They arrested a man
who lay insensible on tho floor and a
friend who bad fought in his defence,
