There are among the North American Indians some most curious accounts of the oreation, none more so than that of the Utes of Colorado. Here, in brief, is what they say: In the beginning the earth was coverod with mists. You could not see before you. The Great Spirit took his bow and arrows and shot ?shot so well that he scattered the mist The earth became visible to him, but there were no men upon it Then he took clay, fashioned a man and set him to bake. Man came out white; the fire had not been strong enough; the Great Spirit began his workagoin, and this time the man came out quite black; he had remained too long in the oven. It was necessary to try a third time. The ex? periment at lenght succeeded, and man came out done to a turn; he was a red? skin, the most perfect of human typo. A Sorr Thtng.?A religious paper, which is supposed to speak ex cathedra, nnd to tell nothing bnt the truth and shame the devil, says of the keeper of a. summer resort, that "his soft crabs nil run about, perched on the back of chick? ens, and invite yon to the dining-room." Now, if that was not printed in n reli? gious newspaper, no one would bolieve it. Mile. Schneider took up a subscription among the audience at the recent benefit in Paris for the sufferers by the floods, and treated the men as capriciously as ever did her Majesiy of Gerolstein when she disposed of Prince Paul, for when they took out pocket-books to search for a Napoleon, she coolly appropriated their onitrc contents. The Galveston News says that between thirty and forty persons are now living in Galveston, who-voted at the eleotion for President of Texas in 1038, when the whole vote of the then republic was 7,247. Since then the population of Texas has increased amazingly. Its pre? sent estimate is 1,250,000. The Alabama Radicals want a thorough j cleansing ont of offices, and even go so far as to tell the President that all un? worthy and incompetent officials in the J State are indebted for their positions to the evil influences of Spencer at Washington. A great falling off is reported this sum? mer in the soles of books and magazines j to tourists. The Louisiana census wiU make the | population of New Orleans about 205, 000. Rose Cordial!
