Travelers ali apree in pronuncing them physically one fof the linest people in the world Like the Arahs, they re-ard as sacred the person and property ot their guests, so leny as they are um;er their root.

Although nom inally un!tr the mle of the Ameer, each tril e is leally governed absolutely by its own cjiiief, n.i provides the contingent for the army, and levies the quota annually due to the central Governineiit. The various tribes are often at loggerheads with the Ameer, ami at lend with t ne another. Each tribe is subdivided into several small clans or villages, occupying their own part of the country as communal grounds, ran frequent ly at oeadly enmity with their neighbors oi their own tribe, these feuds lasting for gen erations, and being perpetuated in different families from father to eon. To take the liie of a mem I er of an antagonistic tribe, however treachtrous the circumstances un der which it may have been done, is regard ed as a loadable act, autl never as murder. Fanatical as Mohammedans, they baiieve that the surest M'ay of attaining heaven is to take the life of a Katt.r or nil believer, however they disobey the KrrKn in the free use of spirituous liquor. They are natural ly disinclined to all kinds of productive la bor. Soldierlike, Langhty and vain, they look upon mercantile pursui. s as beneath them. Field sports and lighting are more congenial to their natures. Those who en gage in tl.e tillage of the soil, do so armed, wnh their matchlocks lighted, ready at the lir.st tall to leave the plow to wijld the swoid. This natural turbuience of charac ter makes them a very diihcult people to rule, and the authority of the Ameer is mole imaginary titutt re.d so much, so that in any qurrel they mtiy sMe with the Ain ecr or against him.

As long as the British had only to protect their lerri toiy against predatory raids, it was deemed tuii.iit.nt to hold the tribes in check and to punish summarily such marauders as were ,ouud within their jurisdiction. The ques turn has now assumed a graver aspect. The possibility of these turbuient people beconi inj( allied with a treat European power, struggling with Eng. and for supremacy in the .ast, coupled with the indeleusible na ture of the present Indian frontier, create an imperative necessity for the passession ol the mountain range commanding the gates of India. The insecurity of the Ameer up on his throne, intestine famiiv fends, and the small control he has over the tribes, leave little hope that he could give sniiicient guarantee that the passes may not fall into hands of a possible adversary to British rule iu India. Could the Ameer, and were he willing to give such guarantee, the British government would doubtless gladly accept a; but as long as they rule in India they are bound to see that their frontier is nle ouately protected, and to adapt such meas ures as will secure for them the strategical points needlul. humor, and no sickly or unhappy woman can be good-humored and cheerful.

Jackson Grant, the Indian, who has been convicted of the murder of Dennis Spellen last June a short distance south of this city, was sentenced yesterday morning iu the State Circuit Court. Before judgment was pronounced, his counsel, William Evans, Esq., tiled a motion for a new trial for the purpose of taking the case to the Supreme- Court. Mr. Evans uaving siated tnat ne mu not wisa to argue ; writc3 follows to the PlaUsburg Rrpul. the motion, Judge Pellenger said, "Jackson Grant, stand up ;" and as the Indian rose to j ''-aH ' his feet the Judge said : j Allow me to say a few words of the great- You have beeu convicted of the crime of ! est importance to the public, through your murder, and the court is rfow about to pass 1 journal, in regard to the terrible disease sentence noon vou.

Our lives of rather their happi ness and misery, are, in a great measure made np of trill s, just as time is made up of moments. Tiie discomfort of having to wait for a meal beyond its regular hour, of finding th ngi ill-prepared or carelessly done, slovenliness and discomfort where a little thought and pains might have intro duced e se and civn elegance, or of being Drought up sharp at every turn by want of punctuality or of method these are ills more diihcult to bear than the uninitiated imagine. iMor; houses might he comfortable and elegant- -yes. elegant ? For comfort say why the sentence of the law should not now be pronounced against you ? Grant, in a clear, firm and smooth voice, with a good doal of feeling and pathos in his manner, using good English, said: May it ph ase the Court : struction of lives throughout the country It has raged here to a fatal extent, quite a large number of cases proving fatal. There is a family here by the name of Light, who moved here from Rochester, this season. Mrs. Light said to some of the neighbors that previous to moving here she consists in finding everything where and as it should b ; elegance, in adding to what should be there that which need not be there, but whose presence eurpiises, at tracts and ratifies. There is often neither comfort nor elegance in the richest mansions, while both are found in the laborer's cottage. A jug tilled with flowers, a neat white cur tain, a couple of flowers may effect what ex penditure of hundreds of dollars has not achieved. You sav they are trifles, then all 1 have not much to sav.

Judge Bellenger then prqriounced the sen tence of death upon Grant as follows : It is-ordered by the court that you be ta ken hence to the county jail, of this county, and there safely kept until Friday, the 21st day of next March, and that on that day you be taken bv the sheriff to the place pro vided for execution, and that then and there, between the hours of 10 o'clock in the forenoon and 2 o'clock in the .afternoon, yon be hanged by the neck until you are dead, and may God have mercy on your soul Grant maintained during his sentence a quiet and what some pronounced a dignified oemeanor. He was remanded to the prison, where he will have two months to prepare for his terrible end. He is the fifth man in those walls now upon whose life theshadows of the gallows rest, a fearful fact showing the power of the law and the foundation for saying that "murder will out."

Mr. Gough, the temperance lecturer, tells with much effect, this incident from his ex perience : I remember riding once in Scotland to a place I can not pronounce it; I pronounced it once and they laughed at me ; I can spell it, A-u-c-h-t-e-r-m-u-c-h-t-y. A man came to meet me at tbe Eidybank Junction, and took me six miles in a tiy a one-horse cab. As we s t together, I noticed the man was leaning forward very strange'y ; I saw him take a handkerchief, that was the beginning of it, and tie it around his face. Then he would fit a little and shakes it out, and then ti; it another way, still lean ing his head forward. Said I, " Have you the toothache t " '-No." "Have you ta ken cold?" "Xn." "Then will you be good enough to tell me wdiy you lean for ward with tbe handkerchief, if yon "re not cold nnd have not the toothache :" "Well," he said, " the window of the l!y is lroken, and tbe wind is pretty cold this morning, and I an trying to keep it from you.

A loneome-looking boy was yesterday hanging round a wood-yard in the northern part ot the city, when the owner ot the yard, having both charity and philanthropy lor boys with te trs in their eyes, asked the lad why he tlidn t peddle apples or do some thing to earn a few shilling. The boy re plied that he had no capital, and the wood yard man took out a nickel and said : " Now my boy, I'm going to start von in life. Take this nickel and go and make a purchase of something or other. I'll buy it ot you lor ten cents, no matter what it is. Come, now, let's see what kind of a business head you have on you. " The boy took the nickel and went off, but in ten minutes was back wilh a gallon jiig, which he had purchased with the nickel. "vvell, you are a keener," replied the man, "I never saw any of them sold for less than ntteen cents to any one. 1 want such a jug, and here's its fair price. Go now and lay out you fifteen cents in apples, and I'll buy nan your stock. The boy did not. return. Perhaps he fell into a sewer somewhere; but you can't make the wood-yard man believe so. When he lifted the jug from under the table, where the boy bad carefully placed it, ne found a hole in the bottom large enough to let in a sioiiall v attempt to bind the free-born?

Flip.T3 axd Coquettes. No woman likes to be called a coquette, aild yet how few can abstain lrom coquetry when an opportunity oners itself ! No woman will admit that she . is a flirt, and yet how few eau resign a chance to flirt with an agreeable gentleman when such a flirtation becomes an eligible indulgence ! There is always an excitement . in the attempt to capture a man's affections which is too inspiring, perhaps, to be neg lected ; but there is an odium attached to the excitement which o woman relishes. TheyTove the pursuit, but fear the charac ter it occasions. And the same remarks will apply to men, in tiiii context, as well as women ; for maie flirts are quite as abomi nable as female ones ; and the man who loves to win. merely for amusement, the af fections of a woman is no more to be respect ed than the woman who is addicted to the game of captivating, -for the momentary pleasure it affords, the hearts of men.
