     The beauty of Indian maidens has been celebratedin song and story, and been told by those who professed to have seen; but we have not as yet, got sight of one of them. If any such can be found, we wish some onewould bring her along, just for curiosity. We have seen squaws of all ages andconditions, but the pretty ones must have staid at home. What we have seen, aredirty, slovenly, greasy, slouchy, slumpy things, fit subjects for green-flies,enough to turn the stomach of a white man to look at them, and emitting aneffluvia, to use the highly poetical figure of our friend York, "strong enough toknock a dog out of a tan-yard!" Don't talk about pretty Indian women!
