Dr. Cartwright of New Orleans, in the presence of eminent physicians,andotherscientificpersons resuscialed an alligator which had been killed by tying the trachea. After an hour, when neither fire nor the dissecting knife produced signs of pain. Dr. Dowler laid bare the F. LABH. â€"-.â€"â€". (Continued from our last.) (After the obnoxious interview "t’vith the Indian chief, and being greatly fatigued by previous exer- cise, and my heart sickened by lore~ bodings and uncertainty, together with the excitement of the past conversation, I laid down upon a small pallet, and was soon lost in wild and irregular dreams, carnage battlefields and gore ; the grim visages of dusky cannibals, tearing my flesh and devouring my quiver- ing and alfrighted frame. The sun had gained a high altitude in the sky before my eyelids unclosed; nor should I have awnkened then had not VVyanka aroused me to re- collection. ‘Comc, come,’ said she; ‘the Heron has returned to his place in the marsh, and the wild Eagle is screaming aloud for his prey; the bright dew has gone up from the valley, for it is long since the day was first breaking. See, I have just returned from my ramble among the hills,â€"â€"at the same time extend- ing her small and delicate foot, still wet from the dripping grass.’ Rising from my couch I sat thoughtfully viewing my forlorn condition. ‘Does the white hunter’s heart grow weary of our Indian home? Has he no trust in the voice of the mist of the mountain? Has her words faded from his memory 1’ ‘I replied, did you not engage to secure me my return to my people ; but now I am the chief’s (your father) prisoner; and more, I am to be his slave, or die.‘ Looking me steadfastly in the face she said, with much earnestness, id the Indian ever forsake her t ustl Did she ever fail to accom- plish that she had willed to per- form? Leave it to me; let not your thoughts trouble you; you shall see your own land again.’ Three days had elapsed, and I had not heard or seen anything of the mysterious Indian girl nor the chief; nor could I gather the slightest knowledge from any of the unsoci- uble beings who attended me, for they could not speak the first syl- lable of my language; but as the last rays of the evening sun were trembling in the West, on the fourth day of my captivity my welcome deliverer made her appearance.-â€"â€". Her countenance seemed lit up with animated fire, while the same agile movements characteristic of the red man accompanied each easy motion. She advanced in the same quiet order as at other times, and Whis- pering in my car, said: ‘Let the white brother prepare forhis rescue. Watch your opportunity when the moon strikes upon the white rock in yonder cliff; when the two Indians are sleepingâ€"when their thoughts are gathered from the worldâ€"then carefullyâ€"w] say carefullyâ€"leave the Wigwam. Let your tread be noiseless, like the falling dew, for ‘qthe Indian’s ear is quick to catch a sound.

A few effectual strides brought me into the open moonlight ‘, a stillness hung over the breathless night; the invigorating atmosphere felt grateful and bracing. I listened, but no sound save the sullen echo of the distant cascade, as it leaped over the unyielding crags. I lis- tened again, straining my acoustic nerves to catch the greeting token. Lightly and timidly thejoylul notes of the whippoorwill came stealing down the vale; they evidently came from the direction of the pine grove. There was an interyal of a few minutes ; then with an increas- ed volume, clear and distinct, they rung upon the mountain. With beating heart] felt that I was free. So, leaving the clump that sheltered the but, I hastened to the thick woods along the valley. As I ra- pidly moved along a strange sound arrested my attention. Somewhat startled, lfaltered to enquire intol the nature of my alarm, and there, beneath an overhanging tree, re- clined one of the sentinels. leaning lialfacrOSs a projecting root. His respiration was difficult, more particularly on account of the un- . natural position of his body: he was evidently safe and sleeping-â€" so of courseI felt relieved by the discovery of so harmless an enemy. Passing onI soon came up to thel edge of the forest hills. Again the free wild notes greeted my ear.â€"â€" They appeared now less restrained, more joyous, and farther up the mountain. Again I stepped and reconnoitered my position. All things being favorable, I again fol- lOWed the direction of the notes ;â€"â€" they appeared now more subdued and gentle, like a fairy lute. At times they appeared quite close to me, sometimes quite in the distance ; the sound seemed to have died away with a sort of thrill; then rung out again double toned in quite another direction. Changing my course I parted some bushes, and climbing over many steep and rugged rocks, struck upon an Indian trail that went in a serpentine form up the difficult ascent. At intervals the notes of my guide seemed to sport with the stillness of the l)lglll.â€"-â€"~â€" Havmg gained an eminence over- looking the deep gorge, and at least five miles from the Wigwam, a strange phenomenon rivited my at- tention. like an innumerable host of ignis fetus dancing and darting about in every direction. The thought struck me that it might have proceeded from the freaks of the Indian war dance; but every- thing was noiseless as the graveâ€"s: It was necessary to remain here, for my bird-guide did not appear to advanceâ€"finally ceased altogether. After waiting full one hour, the meteor-like scene below became in- visible. Anothcr hour of suspense, and the merry notes went forth, firm and loud, like the bold tones of a bugle, After frequently changing my course, climbing and scaling my impeded Way over rocks and ledges worn and torn by the arduous efforts, I descended once more into the ’ He wasl beauties deepened as the king day approached his chamber in the east. Sheets of liquid flame soon ‘dartcd through the sky; and the morning birds awakened to greet the coming light. The perfume of aromatic flowers, mingled with the fluid elements around, and the bee on gosamer Wing went humming on its unimpeded way seeking sweet nectar from each opening bud. It is well known that the whippoorwill ceases its notes before the dawn, consequently it was necessary for Wyanka to change her token. The sharp bark of the wily fox now called my attention; the barking and whippoorwiil were given in three rapid successions to prepare me for the new method of direction. Following the new signal, it lead me with the utmost rapidity for- ward into the deep deep forest. Dark leadcn clouds began to over- cast the sky; and occasional distant peals of thunder crime borne opon the fitful guests as they went sigh- ing through the branches of the tall trees. The lark had risen in ambi- -ent air, pouring forth her shrill notes upon joyous wing. The husky bay of the Indian dog fell 'harshly upon the awakened morn. Onward I sped, casting reluctant thoughts upon scenes that had pass- ;ed, and wondering with a reflection of much mystery to know how my lfairy guide could be aware of my immediate position, which was evi‘ dent from the circumstances of the case ; but as she afterwards told me that the practiced eye of the Indian will observe objects, where one un- accustomed to such difficult travers- ing could not perceive. The sun had now gained the ho- rison ; his golden hair hung cluster- ing upon the portals of the morning. A shadow Ike a passing cloud glided lbefore me; the next instant the liv- ling image of the Mountain Queen seemed to rest in that shadow. I looked, and it was she; for the re- vealed form of Wyanka stood be- side me. She had on an ornamen- ted dress, decorated tastily with lines of colored beads; while her dark waving locks hung loose and carelessly upon her Well-formed neck and shoulders. Her eyes beamed lusterously upon me as she exclaimed : "The white man is free; the In- dian maid did as she told you, and would scorn to be a traitoress, even !to, a bitter enemy. You are a .friend; you have passed the war- rior of peril. The white hunter’s feet will now soon tread his own hunting grounds; and the eyes of the pale faced daughters will Welâ€" come him back.’ She stood mute and motionless, her eyes cast upon the ground,- She looked the picture of Juno; then raising them, Sufi'used with tears of emotion, asked : ‘ Does your mother and sister livel Does your father dwell with t the people of his tribe? Had you a brother to join in your early sports 'I’ ‘I replied, they all live but one loved sister,who Was taken away by | the Indians several years since, and l 0f their cheerful smiles. The evening dew was falling chill and damp upon the untroddcn grass, when a slight rustling among the bushes caught my notice. Turning Ibeheld the mischievous glance of my deliverer watching me with intent earnest- ness. She held in her hand a basket, now containing bread and fruits. ‘ These I have fetched,’ she ex- claimed ; ‘and when at some future hour you look back upon this ad- venture, forgct not the hand that bestowed these litttle favors, nor the heart that beat true to its tiust.’ There was a decided character of feeling and principle distinctly por- trayed in her voice of deep utter- ance. There was an eloquence in the expression of her dark eve that told volumes as she continued : ‘ My life has been hazarded to accomplish your freedom; for had the chief (my father) detected me in assisting you, or even destring it, his vengeance would have fallen upon me; and even now I scarcely know how to evade his subtle scru- tiny. He will not return from re- connoitering the frontier until the new moon.’ lfelt much interested and anxi- ous at this recital, but prayed in my heart that she would not be ca'led to suffer on my account, or that such generous kindness should pass unreWarded. Often did Iwonder, while talking With her. at the ease and good language she employed in conveying her ideas; but upon cnquiry--the fact that the white prisoners taken in battle were usu- ally brought to the valley, both male and femaleâ€"all captivesâ€"and it was her provmce to look after those of her own sex, and by so doing she acquired much of the English lan- guage. She was thoroughly school- ed in the finest sentiments of tender feeling. Gifted in many of the in- tellectual and natural features of the human mind, the people of her tribe seemed to worship her; she held them as by a cord. Her word was law; while all could read the ne- voted attachment of her unsullied heart. The knowledge of her truth and fidelity carried a charm to every breast. She developed the power of natural piety, gathering light and wisdom from the creation ; she saw the hand of a Supreme Being in the tress, the woods. and the flowers. All works of mechanism conveyed to her mind the fact ofan Almighty power. The running streams, the fleecy clouds, the va- ried tints and colors that decked the bosom of all nature, told her that there was a God-ma great and in- visible Spirit‘mwho watched and governed the mighty machinery of his Works. She possessed a deeper knowledge. penetrated farther into the mysteries of that love hidden from many, because her simple and child-like enquiries conducted her throughout ; where the more learn- ed and educated mind would cavil and question the reality of what it did not immediately understanl. If those of the more enlightened race would think and investigate more, and build less airy and unsub- WWW lungs and the heart. Then a hole was cut in the trachea. below the li- gaturc, and a blow pipe was intro- duced, which Professor Forshew worked with violence. At length a faint quivering of moving blood was seen in the diphanour veins of the lungs. The inflating process being continued, the blood began to run in streams from the lungs into the qti- esccnt heart. The heart began first to quiver, then to pulsate; and the signs of life elsewhere appearing, the animal began to move; and soon strong men could not hold him. Again they bound him to the table, and kept the trachea tied until life was apparently extinct; when, again inflating his lungs, he so thoroughly revived that he became dangerOUS, snapping at everything, and breaking his cords. For the third time the trachea was ligaturelâ€"uthe animal expired and was resusciated. Dr. Ely of New Orleans was one who had opposed and written against the theory of ‘ circulation dependant upon respiration,’ an all important discovery made by the distinguished autlioress Emma Willard. In the meanlime, his infant son had cholera and expired. His medical friends had left him, and crape was tied to the handle of the frort door.-â€"-Stand- ing by the side of his lifeless babe. Dr. Ely said to himself, ‘If this theory should be true, I might yet safe my child.’ And profiling by the example of CartWiight in resto- ring the dead alligator, he restored his child to life.~â€"Remitting his efforts too soon-~again his infant ceased to breathe. And again, and yet the third time, the father resto- red himâ€"«whcn the rcsusciation pro- ved complete; and months after, the child was livmg in perfect health.

Farmer in a brief article which we copy below. Our readers can judge of the practicability and advantages of the process for themselves. With regard to the disposal of stones, we think there is one rule of universal application, which is thi: â€"â€"On land that is not so rocky un- derneath as to make digging expen- sive, never take a stone away that is not wanted for wells, or for some other special purpose, but dig holes and place them in so that they shall not come nearer than eight or ten inches of the surface. This can be done ‘as cheaply as. they can be cart- ed oil and piled up in some other place. There are, at least, four ad- vantages in this process. 1.

The body should be of good size, the back straight or nearly so, and have only a small sinking below the withers; the barrel round, and the ribs coming close to the hip joints. Shoulders should run back but not be too heavy, for horses with heavy shculders seldom moves well; chest and arms large. A horse weighing from 1,300 to 1,- 400 is large enough for a cartborse ; from 1.000 to 1,200 is large enough for a farmer’s horse; from 1,000 to 1,100 is heavy enoughlfor a carriage horse.

A New ARTICLE MAD]: FROM Opp SHOES.â€"A patent has lately been taken out in England by T. Gee, of 4 Nottingham, for manufacturing a new article to be used for belting, the upper ofshoes, and various other purposes for which pure leather has been hitherto employed. He first takes old boots and shoes, old harness,- belts, &c., cuts them in small pieces, washes them thoroughly in water and reduces them to a soft pulpy condition by soaking. After this he rolls them out betwoen rollers, dries and mixes them with minute quanti- ties of hemp or flax fiber. They are now intimately united together with a strong solution of glue or gotta- pereha, then rolled out into bands for belts, or pressed into moulds for the uppers of shoes, or other articles de« signed to be manufactured from it. This is designed to be the conversion of what has been considered waste substances to useful purposes. We have seen wrapping paper and several other articles manufac- tured out of waste leather, but they all lacked strength. The mixing of flax fiber with the leather pulp may impart to it sufficient tenacity to ren- der it strong and durablewwScientzfic flmerican. ‘ Is that animal a biped, or a quadruped? asked one of the visitorsat .a circus, one day of a bystander. “I think, sir,’ said an evident student of Natural History, with bulging eyes, and green spectacles: “that the gentleman who shows the. ani, mals called it n Kangarooped. surrounds the sightof the eye, should be sober when sitting in courts of be distinct, and of a pale. variegated, Cinnamon color. for this is a sure The feet and legs should be re- garded, for a horse with bad feet is like a house with a weak foundation The feet the heels should be firm, and not line sealef confession. lever, in the way of compensation, has made justice, While the German Emperors were at their cornation ceremony, The eyes of a asked ‘ whether they promise, by the‘ help of God, to‘ lead‘ a sober life.’ The head should be of a good ‘lndeed‘, all the laws and regulations size, broad between the eyes, large nostrils, red within, for large nostrils of the sixteenth century were mainly directed- a-gainst drunkenness, but not against drinkinn.
