They were ail very attentive to the play, but the Fox Chief and White Cloud departed from the traditionary dignity of Indians, and laugh ed a great deal at spine of Power's fun. The Sioux-killer sat between them, as motionless and grim as a marble knight on a tomb stone. The next daylrhad llie ; pleasure of dining w i ll i M r. Power, Uho lived a,l he sara e hotel with ihelndiaji delegation; and while at dinner he received a message from the Io waysexpres sing a wishto call on him. We were sitting over pur wine when White Cloud and the Sioux- killer came in Willi : their interpreter. There were" several gentlemen present, one of them in the naval undress uniform, whose face the Sioux:killer scrutinized very sharply. They smiled in bo wins to ; Power, but: made very gravo inclinations to the rest of us. The chief took his seal, assuming a very, erect and ' ,'rit .... I,. J.

Champagne were gi ven them, which they drank with great relish.though the Sioitx-killer provoked a little ridicule from White Cloud, by coughing as he swallowed it. The interpreter was a half-breed between an Indian and a negro, and a most inr tclligent fellow. He had been reared in the lo way tri be,-hut had been a mong the whites agrcatjdeal for ttielast)few years, and had picked up English very fairly.

" ' - - - Mr. Power expressed a surprise "that the Sioux-killer should have known him ;in his citizen's dress. The interpreter translated it, and the Indian said in ansiver.-The dress is very' different, but when I see a man's eye I know him again." He then told Power that he wished, in the theatre, to raise his war cry and help him fight', the three bad looking men who were his enemies, (referring to three bailiffs in a scene in Paddy : Carey.) Power- asked what part of the play he liked best. He sard that part where he seized ihe girl in his arras and rah off the stage with her, (at the close of an Irsh jig in the sarrie play.) v?1 " The interpreter informed us that this was the first lime the Sioux killer hadcomVafnon; th'e'whites.-ille had disliked them5 always till now, but he said he had seeii euough to" keep him telling tales all the tesi of his life' Power offered them eigars, which they refused. We expressed our surprise.and the Sioux-killer said that the Indians who smoked, ave out soonest in the chase; and While Cfoud added, - very gravely; lhat the young women of his tribe did not like the breaths of the smokers. In an swer to an inquiry I mde about the compara tive size of Indians and white ' men, the chief said that the old men of the whites were larger than old Indians;, but the "young whites were not so tall and straight as the youths of his tribe. We were struck with the smallness of the chiefs hands and feet, but he seemed very much mortified when the interpreter transla ted our remark to him. He turned the little sallow fingers over and over, and said that old While Cloud, his father, who had been a great warrior, had small hartds like his. The young chief, we wr-fold by the interpreter, has never yet been in an engagement, and is always spared from the heavier fatigues under gone by the rest of the tribe. : ; V- They showed great good, nature in allowing us to look at their ornaments, tomahawks, elc. White Clond wore k collar of bear's claws, which marked him for a chief; and the Sioux kiirer carried a great cluster of brass belts on the end of his tomahawk; of which; he.explain ed the use ycmt energetically." Jt was to shake when he stood over his fallen enemy in ihe fight, to let the tribe know he had killed him.; After anoiher tumbler of champagne each they rose to take their leaved and Wldte Cloud gave us his hand gently, with a friendly hod. We were ali amused, however, with the Sioux-killer's more Characteristic adieu.1 He looked us in the eye like a hawk, and ? gave us each a 'grip of his iron fist, that made the blood Tingle under our nails. He would be ar. awk ward customer in a fight, or his fixed lip and keen eye vcrr much belie him. ' 4 J " . GOOD ADVICE. An article containing some very just remarks as well as good advice, for the present crisis, in .the New York Slar, concludes thus; J To the citizens at large we say, diminish your expenses, -r Do it at once; and by a united movement. v---, -:.-:pu ..- ; .'.; .; . v - The people in the country must be made to know and sympathize in your sutTerings. It is , difiicult, if not impossible, for the farmers to understand your difficu I ties,! while they ar e receiving for every article produced frpm their farms double price. Let the rich set ihe ex ample, and pursue it, and the rest will follow, and in less than six months the effect will be felt in every section of the country. - ' - Diminish" the quantity of meat you purchase in the market, select the cheapest piece, and in sixty days there will be an over stock of cattle and poultry, arid "prices -will come down, and butchers will escape from monopolizing dro vers. V Forego the use of butler, except in small quantities, health will be improved and prices will come down X a Instead of haying a fire in every room, col lect the family together at one cheerful grate, and the surplus of coal will soon reduce it to a reasonable price. Burn but one light in your parlor, and a smaller light in your hall, and oil and candles will soon bear a moderate price. Sell your horses, or if you keep them, limit their allowance, walk more and ride less" oats and hay will soon be selling at the old rates of three shillings a bushel, and sixty cents a hundred. " Use rice, beans, meal and vegelables.instead of flour, and twelve dollars per barrel will , no longer be heard of. . ., ' By pursuing this advice .you. will render a most grateful charity to the; poor; for now, even'Wilh their present high wages, they can scarcely live. ; Upon the reduction of. prices, wages might be reduced, and their employ ment continued. As the mailer now. stands, our city will be filled wilh men out of .work and wholly destitute. , Instead of lavins aside vour hat when. the fur is rubbed off from the corners or your coat when the nap is worn from the cuffs and shoulders or your boots as soon as the soles cr uppers are broken keep them in use until they are insumcienfc m ccj im mo. nv"'s In these items alone the city might save in one jreaf two millions of dollars. .
