This business appears to be of a very mystererious charactei, and in each case is suddenly brought to a conclusion by the duck making a sudden dive into the water—not head fbreuiggi according to its usual practice, but in the reverse way, as if jerked down by the feet before the creature had time to utter a single "quack." In a short time the gourd moves away, and its wearer may be seen emerging from tho water with a double tier of dead ducks dangling by their necks from a rope about his waist, and forming a sort of plumed skirt, rather too heavy for convenience.

Private character, public service, individual relations—neither these, nor age, nor sex, can be in the nature of our Government exempt from that liability to attack. And, sir, shall, gentlemen complain that slavery shall not be made, and is not made, an exception to that general rule ? You did that when you made what you call a compact with us. You were then •emerging out of the war of Independence. Your'fathers had fought for that right, and more than that, they had declared that the violation of that right was one of the greatest oauses which impelled them to the separation. I submit these thoughts to gentlemen on the other side, in the oandjd hope that they will see at once that the attempt to require us to do for them what we cannot do for ourselves is unjust and cruel in the highest degree. Sir, the liberty-of the press ii the highest safeguird to all government. Ours could not exist without it. It is with ns, nay, with all men, like a great, exulting and bounding river. It is fed by thc dews of heaven, which distil their sweet drops te form it. It gushes from the rill, as it breaks from thc deep caverns of the earth It is fed by ailluents, that dash from the mountain top to separate again into a thousand bounteous and irrigating rills around. On its broad bosom it bears a thousand barks. There genius spreads its purpling sail. There poetry dips its silver oar. There art, invention, discovery, science, morality, religion, may safely and securcly float. It wanders through every land. It is a genial, cordial, source of thought and inspiration, wherever it surrounds. Sir, upon its bor. dors, there grows every flower of grace and every fruit of truth. I am not here to deny that that river somotimes oversteps its bounds. I am not here to deny that that stream sometimes a dangerous torrent, and destroys towns and cities upon its bank ; but I am here to say that, witboui ti, civilization, humanity, government, all that makes society itself, would disappear, and the world would return.to its ancicnt barbarism. Sir, if that were to be possible,|or so thought for a moment, the fine conception of the great poet would bo realized- If that were to be possible, though but for a moment, civilization itaelf would roll the wheels of its oar backward for two thousand years. Sir, if that were so, it would be true that, "As one by one in dread Medea's train, Star after star fades on th' etheriaJ plain, Thus at her felt approach and eeorot might, Art after art goes out, and all is night. Philosophy, that leaned on Heaven before, Sinks to her second cause and is 110 more, Religion, bhlahing, veils her saored fires, And unawares morality expires.' Sir, wc will not risk those consequences, even fpr slavery; wo will not risk these oonscquences even f°r union; we will not risk those oonsequenees to avoid that civil war with which you threaten us; that war whioh you announce aa deadly, and whioh you declare to be inevitable.

Iihe undersigned would respectfully announce to the eitiseuM of Pittston, ami the public in general, that they have establmhed themselves in the "Mundrucu, the Beheader," would be a good title for a blood-aod-thunder play at the Bowery. There is a tribe of Mundrucus living on the Amazon river who onjoy the suggestive title of " The Beheadcrs." They have a ridiculous custom of taking snoff much as an American takes a sherry cobbler, by sucking it through a straw.— The Mundrucu sprcaps a large spoonful of snuff on the bottom of a saucer, and when all is ready, takes a "machine" some eight inches long, made of two quills placed side by side, and neatly whipped together by a thread. At one eud they are pressed upon so as to diverge to a width corresponding to the breadth between the Mundrucu's nostrils, where il is intended they shall be placed during the ceremony of Buuff.taking. And thus they are placed—one end of each quill being slightly intruded within the line of the septum, while the other end rests upon the snuff or wanders over the surface of the saucer till all the powder placed there is drawn uy and inhaled. Another odd habit of the Mundrucu is a sort of ordeal by fire—the Tocandeira.— When the Mundrucu ooutfi becomes a candidate for manhood, he has a pair of gloves prepared for him. These consist of two pieces of palm bark tree, with the pith hollowed out, but left in at o&e end. The hollow part is of sufficient diameter to draw over the hands loosely, and so long as to long as to reach up to the arm, after the fashion of gauntlets. Thcso gloves are nearly filled with venomous insects, and the novice is then compelled to draw them on without shrinking. The ceremony next requires that he should keep on the gloves till he has danced before every door in the village, ilu must sing as if for very joy. Surrounded by friends and acquaintances who dance anp howl around, he proceeds around the village, performing his longest jig before the door of the chief. Half crazed with pain, he then rushes to the nearest stream or pond and plunges wildly in, emerging fit stuff for a Mundrucu warrior, and eligible to the hand of a Mundrucu maiden.

Gentlemen's Furnishing Store, They live in the malncro, a building that is both a house and a village, and necessarily a very lartre structure. It is the property of the whole community or tribe, is built by the labor of all, and is used as their common dwelling. The building is raised upon timber uprights, so smooth and straight as to resemble columns. The beams and rafters are held in their places by tough creeping plants, and the roof is a thatch of palm leaves, laid on with great regularity, and brought very low down at the eaves, so as to give tho whole structure the appearance of a gigantic bee-hive.— The walls aru of split palms or bamboos. The plan is a parallelogram, with a semicirclo at one end, and as many as threo hundred individuals can assemble under the roof. The interior arrangements consist of a wido hall or avenue, extending through the middle of the parallelogram from eud to ond, while on both sides of this hall are rows of partitions separated from each other by split palms or canes closely placed. Each of these sections is the abode of a family and the place of deposit for the hammocks, clay pot9, calabasti cups, dishcb, baskets, weapons, and ornaments which arc the property of each, the hall is used fcr cooking and also for children's playground, and for festival ceremonies. The common doorway is at the gable end, and the semi-circular section of the building is appropriated to the chief and his family. The costume of these Amazons is not unlike that of the South African Bushmen, a mere strip of flexible bark around the middle of the person sufficing. The ornaments are principally made from the feathers of tropical birds.

Docs everybody know that Venezuela— the little republic in South America—takes its name from "the Fairy City*of the Sea," "Venice ? Such is the fact. When the Spanish discoverers sailed around Lake Moracaibo they saw to their amazement not only single houses, but whole villages apparently floating upon the water. On approaching nearer they perceived that these houses were raised some feet above the surface, and supported by posts or pillars driven into the mud. This suggested Venice, and the discoverers gave to these superafjucous habitations the name of Venezuela, or Little Venice, which was afterwards applied to the entire provinco. The "Water Dwellers," as the occupants of these houses are called, have good reason to live in this manner. That reason will be understood by the word "mosquitoes:" Though too thick on shore to render existence bearable, these pestiferous insects do not venture out over the water. THE CHAC08 In the more southerly p*rt of South America are the Chacos tribes, who pass most of their lives on horseback. lioth men and women pull out their eyebrows and eyelashes, because tho£ think they oan see better without them.

It oossists of the magnificent foliage of our autumnal woods, the colors of which are more varied, rich and beautiful than any yet developed by the dyer's art. Nature is a wonderful chemist, and the fall tints of our forest leaves are among the most glorious products of her universal laboratory. Wo have often wonderod that the scarlet, and crimson, and gold that glorify our sylvan scenery in October and November were not used for ornamental purposes. Nothing can be more graceful than the shapes of leaves, nothing more gorgeous than their contrasted autumn hues. A light ooat of colorless varnish would preserve both, and there are more decorative purposes to whioh they "might be advantageously applied.— Probably it is beoause they are costless and common, that those "glories of deoay" are so little valued here.

To make up for this, however, they are very particular about painting their bodies. The greater part af tho day is often spent by them in a single dressing, with one or two helders to assist in the operation ; and ibis is not a tattooing process, intended to last for a lifetime, but a costume certain to be nisfigured or entirely washed off at the first exposure to a shower. When an Ottomac wishes to appear in full dress he first gives himself a priming of red. Over this red ground is then formed a lattsce work of lines of black, with a dot in the the centre of every little square or diamond. If the gentleman be rich enough to possess a lijtle "chica," which is a beautiful lake-colored red, he will then feel all tho delights of a fashionable dandy, and with half a pound of turtle oil rubbed into his long, black tresses, ho will rogard himself us drossed " wit' in an inch of his life." Being provided with a full and complete not of instruments, and having had ample expcu ience,ho flatters hlmsblf capable of giving suit isfactionin any and every department of liis« calling.

The natives who have no guns catch them by a simple yet ingenious contrivance, by which the timidity of the birds is lulled and their sagacity outwitted. At a spot in the water frequented by them, and of such a depth that the water will not reach higher than his chin, when standing upright, the "Water Dweller"'floatsa number of gourd-shells of roundish form. When his decoys are all placcd, ho paddles back to his dwelling and awaits the issue. The birds are at first shy of these round, yellow objects intruded on their domain; but, as the hours pass, and they perceive no harm in them, they approach nearer and oven curiously examine the yellow globes, until no longer regarding them as objects-of suspicion, they swim freely about or sit quietly on the water side by side with them. Now the "Water Dweller" goes to work. He draws over his head a tightly fitting gourd-shell, like those on tha water, only furnished with eye-holes and a breathing hole. Swimming where the water is too shallow to wade without frightening the birds, he makes his way toward them,keeping his shoulders below the surface, and advancing so slowly and warily that be soareo raises a ripple on the placid lake. The unsuspecting birds see the destroyer approaching without having the slightest misgiving of danger— They faney that the newcomer is only another of those inanimate objocts by their side—another gourd-shell, drifting out up. on the water to join its companions.

There is nothing nourishing in it —It merely produces a kind of satiety or relief from the pangs of hunger. It is only poya, a particular kind of elay, soft and smooth to the touch like putty, which the Ottomac will eat. This clay he stores up, forming it into balls several inches in diameter, which, being slightly hardened before a fire, he builds up into little pyramids, just as cannon-balls are piled in an arsenal. When he wishes to regale himself, ho softens one of the balls by wetting it, and then scraping off as much as he way require for a meal, returns the poya to it place on the pyramid.—"Odd People," by Capt.
