NOTICIAS CURIOSAS
SOBRE
LAS AMAZONAS.
Aunquo la eosistenciu, de las amazonas ha
eído tenida je»eralraente por fabulosa, hay sin
embargo autores de mucho concepto que están
por la afirmativa, y que refieren híchos muy
Cariosos relativos a estas mujeres : tales BOU
Trogo Ponpeyó y Justino en el libro segundo,
Diodoro Siculo en el tercero y cuarto, Paulo 0-
Tosioenel decimoquinto, /Marciano Cápela en
el nono, Quinto Curdo en el sesto, Herodoto en
el cuarto, Solino Capítulo en el vijesímo sétimo y en el secsajésimoquinto, Ponponio Mela
en el primero, Servicio, A miaño Marcelino y
otros,
Diodoro Siculo afirma haber ecsistido dos sociedades de amazonas ; la una en lá Scitia,
provincia septentrional del Asia, dividida según
Tolomeo, en dos partes por el monte Emaus,
que es la Tartaria actual; y la otra en áfrica
en la provincia de Libia : pero tan solo de las
amazonas del Asia es de las que nos ha trasmitido la historia noticias con toda la apariencia
de verdaderas.
Según el citado Diodoro y Justino, hubo entre los belicosísimos ScUas, en tiempo muy antiguo, dos reyes igualmente guerreros y ambiciosos; y cuino cada uno de ellos deseas" gober
nar solo se suscitó una guerra civil muy sangrienta que terminó cou la destrucción de uno de
los contendientes. Los que habian seguido
el partido voncido, a cuya cabeza se hallaban
dos grandes capitanes, llamado Pliños el uno y
Cbolopiches el otro, fueron desterraos del pais
y pasaron a la Capadocia, cn el Asia menor,
conquistando aquellos paises. y fijando au prin
cipal asiento en las orillas del río Termodonte
que desemboca en el Ponto Euximo.
Puestos nuevamente en campaña se apoderaron de las tierras inmediatas, é iban estendiendo sus conquistas, hasta qne formada una
liga secreta de los estados vecinos fueren hechos prisioneros con asechanzas y engaños, y
degollados inhumanamente.
Irritadas por tul alevosía las mujeres de los !
desterrados, que habian quedado en su patria,
juraron venganza j y para intere sar en ella a
todas las mujeres degollaron primero a los que
habian sido la ca usa de aquel destierro ; y j un
taado un ejercito de mujeres, sin querer admi
tir entre ellas a ninguno de los pocos hombres
que habian quedado, se dirijieron contra los
asesinos de sus maridos, los cuales estaban muy
descuidados, y ae mofaban de tan ridicula cruzada. Así quo cojiéndolos desapercibidos los
dorrot&ron completamente, loa pasaron todos a
cuchillo, y so hicieron dueñas de todo aquel
territorio.
Engreídas con estos primeros triunfos, estendieron sus conquistas sobre les paises vecinos,
y elijieron dos reinas, llamada la una ^¡arthe-
tia y la otra Lampedo ; las cuales dividiendo su
ejército con el mejor orden defendían por diver
■as partea las tierras que habian sojuzgado. No
contribuyó poco a sus ilustres triunfos la eren
oía vulgar de que eran hijas de Marte, pues
que no de oto) modo podían obrar tales prodi-
jios.
Aseguradas yií estas ferocísimas mujeres en
bu dominio, les ocurrió qne sino tenian sucesión
la guerra y las enfermedades, acabarían bien
pronto oon esta nación femenina; y para reme
diar tamaño inconveniente entraron on conve
nio con una de las provincias comarcanas para
reunirse en aiertos parajes con algunos de sus
jóvenes hasta que hubiesen concebido, siendo
otra de las clausulas de su convenio, que las
hembras que naciesen Be-quedarían con ellas
y que les enviarían los varones, y así lo verificaron ,
Le. educaoion de estas niñas era toda guerrera; ya desde muy tierna edad las acostumbra
han a los ejercicios jimnastioos y a toda clase
de penalidades para endurecerlas en la fatiga;,
y como su3 armas consistían pricipálmente en
ei arco y la flecha, para cuyo manejo les i-ervian
de mucho estorbo los pechos, ya desde muy ni
ñas íes quemaban el derecho, que era el que
mas las embarazaba : y de aquí les vino el nom
bre de amazonas, porque amazos en griego
quiere decir teta, ya es el equívaente de ,
cuyas dos voces reunidas forman la palabra
teta.
Yendo en aumento su poder, y dejando su
reino bien provisto de guerreras para defenderlo
proyectaron nuevas conquistas, y caminando
de victoria en victoria llegaron-a "Tañáis," y
entraron en Europa, en donde se apoderaion
de algunas provincias, y estendieron sus armas
triunfantes hasta la Tracia, de donde se volvie
ron jara el Asia cargadas de ricos despojos
haciendo nuevas incursiones hasta el mar Caspio-
Duranta estas felices correrías edificaron mu
chas y famosas ciudades, entre las cuales descollaba la memorable Efeso, en donde estubo
aquel templo tan famoso dedicado a Diana, que
fue quemado por Eróstrato. pero conservando
su principal asiento en las comarcas del referido
rio Termodonte.
Usaban estas mujeres segun Virjilio, utos
tectidoi de forma de media*  luna*, y wgun
Marciano Cápela, ae servían de una musioa de
(lautas, dc! mismo modo que loa hicedemoníos,
para animar la jente de las batallas.
En tiempo de Hércules, Theseo y otroj valí
entes capitanes de la Gresia. habia llegado la
fama de las amazonas al apojeo de su grandeza:
por manera que queriendo el rei Euristeo, de
Athenas, probar el denonado esfumzo del primero, le dio la comisión de que tomando la jen
te y auxilios guerreros que pudiese necesitar,
se dirijiese a pelear con dichas mujeres, y le
trajese las armas de la reina cuya empresa se
tenia entonces por imposible.
Reinaban a esta sazón en los Estndos de 1 is
amazonas dos hermanas, nomb-ada la una An-
tiope y !a otra Oritia ; esta última se hallaba
con una parte del ejército ocupada en conquistas fuera de sus dominios, y la primera vivía
muy descuidada dentro de su reino cuando Hér
cules, con un cuerpo de valientes aporto al rio
Termodonte c internándose en el pais con la
celeridad del rayo y con la mayor reserva, se
hecho de repente sobre las amazonas, las derrotó completamente matando a muchas y haciendo prisi mera una parte de ellas, cuya suerte
o¿upó a dos heiman-'s de las reinas llamadas
Menalipe e Hipólita.
La reina Antíope, que pude salvarse de aquella refriega, entró en tratados con Hércules, y
le pidió el rescate de ? enalipe, a lo que accedió aquel guerrero con la condición de que dicha reina b; entregase sus armas, que había
sido el objeoto principal de su misión. Aunque
también fue solicitada la libertad Ue Hipólita
Theseo que habia sído quien se había apoderado dc ella, y que se] habia. prendado dc su her
moscra, no consintió en dejarla, aino que se la
llevó en su compañía y luego se casó con ella,
de cuyo consorcio nació aquel Hipólito que
ocupa un lugar en ia mitotajia.
Satisfecha la ambición de estos aventureros,
se volvieron para la Gresia ; y nonio en este
tiempo hubiera llegado n noticia de Oritia el
gran deasastre que habia ocurrido en su rein.i,
abandonó sus conquistas y regresó precipitada
mente a su corte. No pudiendo soportar la idea
de haber sido vencidí ¡iquella nación mujeril
por los griegos; resolvieron vengar tamaña
afrenta, y habiendo reunido cuantas amazonas
les fue posible armar, y hechos los aprestos de
guerra, se dirijió Oritia a Sigillo rei de los sci
tas, en solicitud de auxilios, haciéndole ver que
siendo las amazonas descendientes del mismo
tronco, era un honroso deber suyo mirar por su
gloria y conveniencia.
Conc uue en la tercer pagina de ettenuniro
en un convite en qne se movía mucha algazara;
ya ni sube uno lo que come.
Decia un filósofo que oobría deseado que la
naturaleza hubiera provisto nuestras orejas de
válvula ó párpado que pudiese alzarse y bajarse, y que cerrase el paso de las palabras de los
mentecatos y de los importunos, del mismo mo
do que lo tienen los ojos para i cuitar a la vista
el i bjeto que les ofende y ofusca.
El que no es sordo litre serlo cuando le tiene
cuenta. Cuando uno oye gran estruendo, ó un
hablador fastidioso, se tapa los oidos. Cuando
no se quiere dar contestación a una pregunta
necia e impertinent >. se hace ver que no e oye
por aquel lado. Cuando le confian algun se
creto d:ce que no tiene orejas, ó que por un _,
do le entra y por otro le sale. Cuando uno es
perseguido por algún acredor furioso e incons0
labio. Be hacen orejas de mercader, es decir, se
aparenta no entenderlo.
Ulises se tapaba las orejas para no oir el per
fidocante de bis embelecadoras Sirenas. ¡Cu
antas cosas hai que nose quisiera haber oido!
i Cuántas que se desearía poder decir no haber
las entendido ! Hubo ciei to embajador que se
finjió sordo, y se hacia repetir tres cuatro veces
bis palabras, y sostuvo su engaño por muchos
años. Así ni era preguntado ni se veía precisado a responder, ni se esponia a ningún jéne-
ro de compromiso. Todos hablaban en su pre
seneiu con entera libertad, por cuyo medio descubrió secretos import mtes ; ynosellegó a
conocer eu ficción sino cuando hubo espirado el
tiempo de su emb.ijada ; pues que al volver a
su pais este astuto diplomático, fué ascendido
a los primeros destinos.
El tamoso Le Sage después que se hubo vuel
to sordo, iba al teatro, y decia que nunca habia
gozado tanto como no oyendo la voz de tos acto
res. Aprovechándose de su mismo defecto, so
lia decir : " Cuando me bullo en una gran reu
nion con necios y habladores, pongo en el bo'si
lio mi cerbatana, y digo: " Señores, hablen Vs
•cuanto gusten, no les temo."
Nos parece, pues, que sino es preferible la sor
dera al oido fino, como en efecto no puede serh
porque siempre es un efecto sustancial, no se
podra negar por lo menus que los sordos tienen
frecuente;, y variados motivos para consolarse
de la torpeza de aquel sentido.

LA 50KDK1ÍA.
Es muy común que el hombre se incomode
con los sordos, porque le obligan a sacar la voz
dc su cuerda natural, y a repetir una ó mas veces las mismas cosas ; solemos tenerles lástima
porque se ven privados de tantos encantos coino
ofrece la amena sociedad, el teatro y otras di'
versiones y goces.
Del erróneo concepto que se forma de la sor
dera resulta que aplicamos a este defecto los
atributos mas desagradables: llamamos, por
ejemplo, áspid sordo a¿ reptil mas venenoso do
todos í damos el nombre de lima sorda a nn te
nebroso y triste pensamiento quo roe el alma y
la consume; desimus que obra a la sordina, el
que trata de baeer algun daño a escondidas y
con gran disimulo; decimos asimismo que la
fortuna está sorda a los ruegos y al llanto de
los hombres ; se pinta sordo el fatal destino ; es
bien conocido aquel refrán de <l no'hay peor
sordo que el que no quiere oir." En el reinado
del terrorismo en Francia fué acusada una pobre vieja de haber tenido parte en una conjura
cion contra el estado : interrogada por el sanguinario decénviro, contestó que siendo sorda
mal podia haber tenido parte en tos planes en
que se la quería implicar. ;' Pues bien, replico el tremendo juez, esta mujer conspira sorda
mente,  que  la lleven a la guillotina en silen
Es preciso convenir, sin embargo, en que hay
una gran equivocación en el modo de juzgar a
los sordos. Puede un hombre tener torpe el
do y aun seco el nervio audutivo, y en medio
de eso poseer un entendimiento muy sutil, y
muy delicadas las fibras de su corazón. Antes
bien se tiene obserbado que los hombres de ngu
do injenio son por lo regular algo sordos, ó mas
bien que los sordos tienen a^udo injenio. Pa
rece que al dispensarles la naturaleza mas vi
gor y brillo a su mente, ha querido cercenarles
la fuerza del oido para que puedan reconcen
trarse mejor en sus i'octas meditaciones, libertándolos dc insulsos rumores, de la importuni ■
dad de los oeksos y de insufribles habladores. '
Creemos, pues, que lejos de ser los dignos de
compasión, merecen mas bien ser envidiados)
porque están esentos de ser cruelmente molesta
dos j:or las broncas y estentóreas voces de aque
líos hombres atronados, que ya desde el pie de
la escalera emoiezan a romper el tímpano ; se
ven asimismo libres de sufrir el molesto ruido
de los carruajes, y los gritos de alguna ¡ndouia
ble é inapaciguable Jantipa, que por desgracia
no escasean ; pueden dormir de un sueño toda
la noche aunque se hallen al ludo de un galline
ro, ó del cuarto de un poeta que este declaman
do sus versos, ó de un cómico frenético que repita su parte de tirano, y aun del mismo yun>
que de Vulcanc,
Debe considerarse como una felicidad la sor
dera para no oir tantas necedades y murmura
cienes que forman por lo regular la esencia de
la conversación cortesana; sería muy útil la
sordera en tantos teatros en los que no se decía
ma sino que se chilla ; en tantas reuniones ei
la.s  que se disputa y no se raciocina.
SihiDc-íc, por Dios, decia nn hombre de jenio
Dicen que boy es meda
Pretender empleos,
Sin ser neces . rio
Instrucción y mérito.
Porque  como el hombre
No nace sabiendo,
Al cabo de ar.os
Podra ser maestro
Con lo que practique
Con los componeros,
Pues se ve que un loco
Fácil hace ciento;
Y si no con oro
Comprara talento,
Que es fruto abundante
Que se vende al peso :
Y ¿ dígame usted,
Si con un buen sueldo
No es capaz un totito
De ser un Zaleuco 1
Bien, que a los principios
Faltara ei arreglo
Kl orden.... mi=¡ cosas,
Y sufíira el pueblo;
Mase.'to,que importad
Obtengu un einpl o,
Mande el a su modo,
Y entre en el manejo,
Y haber i.-omo el orbe
Perere sufriendo
La enorme polilla
De tantos empleos.
Así don Canuto,
Kl hombre mas necio,
Que salió de madre,
Se mantiene en ello;
Y boy mismo me dice :
" Contra tu o<>nsejo
Estoy en cnqjino
Y muy pronto en Mejico:
Allí mis amigos,
Amen de mis deudos,
Cuatro mil embustes,
.   Mil chismes y enredos,
Harán que yo sea
Hombre de provecho.
Y que la na-, icn
Llene mis deseos:
Si alguno conoce
Que soy mas que lerdo,
Que soy mas vicioso
Que aun el vicio mesmü,
Y clare me dice:
11 Por hoy caballero
No se halla vacante
Ni un mezquino empleo"
Yo le obligaré:
Le diré que muero,
Que ignoro el trabajo,
Que un destino nuevo
Muy -.;til seria,
Cual: que los cangrejos
Paguen con la vid i
Si dejan los médanos.
jOh ! si obtengo un mando,
Ya verás tontuelo,
Que todos me adulan
Y tienen respeto.

A Beautiful Picture. 7he man who
utiinds upon his own soil, who feels hy the laws*
of 'he Und in which he lives—by the \tvtx of
uivitizeil tuitions - he is the rightful and exclu
fiive owner nf the laii'l he tills, ia by the constitution of our nature under a wholesome
influence not easily imbibed from ¡my other
mm rue* He feels, ufch'-r thing* being equ 1.
more strotigly than ¡mother tiie character of «
man as lord of tbe inanim=ite worl>l. ''H'this
great and wonderful sphere, which, fashioned
by the band of God and upheld liy his power,
is rolling through the heavens, a part is hia—
bis from tbe centre i-ky It is the space on
which the generation before moved in its round
of duties, and be feels himself e.mnecti'd by a
link with Eluuse who follow him, and to whom
he is tn transmit a home. Perhaps hia farm
has come down to him from bis fathers. They
Jiav gone to their last home! but he can trace
their fo. rsteps orer the scenes of Ins daily
labors. The roof that shelters bim A-as reared
by those to whom he owes bis being. Some
interesting tradition is connected with every
enclosure. The favorite fruit tree was planted
by his father's hand He sported in boyhood
beside the brook which still winds through the
meadow. Through the field- lies the path lo
the village school of earlier days, llfi still
bears from bis window the voice of the Sab
bath bell which call id his father to the house
of God; and near at hand is the spot where
his parents laid down to rest, and where, when
his time has come, he shall be laid by bis chil
dren. These are the feelings of the owners of
the soil. Words cannot paint them —gold
cannot buy them: they flow out nfthe d epest
four-tains of the heart, they are the life springs
of a fresh, healthy and generous character.—
Edward Everett.
Tristam Burgess and 3ohm Randolph.—
Mr. Burgess, of Khode Island, whe lately deceased, in the 84th year of his age. first entered
Congress in 1825, taking with him from the
public arenas of bis own rítate a deservedly
high repula tion for scholarship, talent, eloquence and companionship in   controversy.
In 1827. ¡Vlr. Randolph returned from the
Seríate to a seat ¡n the House, it was his dt
light to try all new metal, and his pride to
vanquish all who entered upon the lists, with
sarcasm, invective and e'oquence as weapons.
The discussion that took place between that)
is all full of peculiar interest as any ever
heard in tbat batí, in tbe course of th session
he interrupted Mr, Burgess in a speech on the
tariff, and made use of some very sarcastic re
marks on him and New Etif/hind. Randolph
was accustoit ed in his speeches to ridicule
.New England men and measures, and it was
not often th it a member was found who would
tjike tbe risk 'f replying to him. He more than
met bis match in ¿lir. Burgess on the occasion
refered to, and tbe severe retort of the latter is
fresh in th - memory of many to tbis TOy.—
The concluding part of it was .in these
words:
"Sir, Divine Providence takes care of his
own universe /l/oral monsters cannot pro- a-
'g-ate. Impotent of everything but malevolence
of purpose, they cannot otherwise multiply
miseries than by blaspheming all that is pure,
and piosperous, and Üapoy- Could demon
propágate demon, tbe universe might become
a Pandemonium ; but! rejoi-je that the father
of lies cannot be the father of liars. One ad
versary of God and man is enough for tine u i-
verse. Too much ! Oh ! how too much for
one nation."
Mr. Randolph eould not withstand the un
paralleled severity pf this retort, lie immedi
ntely left the Hull, and his voice was never
heard there afterward.
«Taking the Staicti Out of '¿Em."
A lot of idlers sttod at the end •■£ a pitr
which ran   out into   *be   Hudson   river, in a
small town near A.bany, some time ago. amu
>ing themselves with hurling stones into the
broad stream, each vieino- with tbe other In the
endeavor to pitch a mit-eile tbe farthest dictance
from the shore, when a tall, rugged built Ver-
montei1, directly from the Green Hills suddenly
made hi.t appearance in their midst and for a
white remained a quiet obaarver of their movements.
tie was a brawny, strong looking Yankee,
and very decently clad. The efforts of tbe
little party bad been exhibited over and over
again, when the stranger quietly picked up a
half bi-iek which lay near him, ¡md giving it a
jerk it fell into (he water a long way beyond
the line which had as yet been reached by Ibe
foremost of the crowd. At the conclusion of
tbis feat a load bravo went up from half a dozen
voices around  bim.
It was a clear day in October, and the men
determined not be outd'*ne, renewed tbeir at
tempts; but the Vennonter, without sayingu
■iylabie to any one, continued to pitch tbe peo-
.bies far into the stream, which seemed toannoy
one of tliem, in a green jacket, the apparent
leader of the gang, who declared be wouldn't
be beaten by a "feller lig'it straight out of the
v.'0'.ds, no bow ;" and sidling up to the strangei
he determined to make his acquaintance.
'■VV here do you cotne from, neighbor V inquired the other.

seizing a big billet- of wood, he twirled it ever
his bead, and it landed several rods from tbe
shore in the water.

Yankew Sullivan at Large. The authorities of Massaclutse'te, to their lion'nr succeeded
in capturing the notorious Yankee Sullivan,
and lodged him Lenox jiiil, Berkshire county,
but the county authorities eet him at large
under $1,500 bail, to appear for trial at a future day. The rowdy friends of Sullivan
raised the amount uf bail, and he forthwith
left the land of Yankee notions and strict
administration of justice, for the city of New
York.
Thackkhy Hays a woman's heart isju,st like
a Htliograper'jH stone—what is onee written
upon it can't be rubbed out. Thia ¡s so. Let
an heiress once fix her affections on a stable
boy, and all the preaching in the world will
not get ber thoughts above out Soxes and curry
combs. ''What is written on her heart can't
be rul bed out.?5 The fact u-hows itself not only
in love, but in religion. Men change their
Gods a dozen times, a woman never. Tu convert a Sister of Charity to a /Methodist would
require more power than you would have to
make use of to overturn the Pyramids.

"Do what!" said tbe green jacket quicklv.
"I can tnke and heave you  across that river

an almost superhuman effort dashed the   bully
heeU over head from the  dock, some ten yards
out into the     udson river.
A terrific shout ran through the crowd as
he floundered into the water, and amid thejeers
and screams of bis companions, the ducked
bully put back to the shore and scrambled up
the bunk,' half frozen hy this sudden and in-
oluntary Cold bath

the shivering loafer, advancing rapidly to the

and i • spite or the loafer's utmost effort to escape him, he seized him by the scruff and the
seat of his overhalls, and pitched him three
yards further into the r.ver than upon the first

Again the bully returned amid the shouts of

Indian Claim to ¡Northern Vermont.— j
There is now in attendance upon the Legisla-
laturo of Vermont, in session at Montpeüer, a
deputation of Iroquois Indians, to nress a claim
to a consideraba portion of the Stale. The
Springfield Republican «jayf the claim is no new
affair. It was presented first in 1786, and has
been renewed at frequent interva's since. It
embraces all that portion nf tbe 'Hate north of
Otter Creek, and between Luke Champlain and

Whether California has yet reached tlie maximum of ber gold production is a question about
which men pf judgment and gener.il acquaintance with mining and the mines differ. A
scientific and practical man upon whom we
reU mu-rii. is inclined to the tlffinnative opinion, but believes that the product will not
diminish for three or four years, and then recede slowly for eight or ten years, when it may
reach ten or fifteen million,", and at which y.o'n.l
it may remain for a long period. This, bow-
ever is but a conjecture. It will be seen by oar
estimate that the produce has up _to this date
been steadily and rapidly ineieasing.
The manifested exports of gold from California fur this year are about $10.000.000 greater
than those of Australia, where there are 50,000
more persons engaged in mining.
Treason in Grass.    We have beam of mutiny in stones, but Austria has discovered treason  in   the grass, on the   Swiss   border!      A
Comminsary   of gendarmerie  was passing  hia
way along a gurden wall, wben   he   was   surprised at seeing the name of   Kosstrrif coming
out of the earth.      He was quite overwlndmed
at fir-t.   The Comm'ssary rushed for the ¿Y.ay-
«r and examining judge.    The garden- was surrounded with   gi'iidarms.   and   the'proprietor
sent for.    Tbe name of Kossuth .was certainly
there, having been sown   in   peppengr:is.í, and -
about a week above the ground.    'ÍUh; proprietor said that he   had   never   uo'icefctiiit'-the

Origin of English Phrases, Southey.
while residing at Lisbon, (1800), fleépia to
huve been mightily struck with the derivation
of our ordinary English phrases from tito
Portuguese. I have noticed the following : —
"Our phrase, "a fig for him," is explained
by.an amulet In use here against witchcraft,
culled a figa : the mules and isses wear it.—
It- is the fignre of a band closed, with the
thumb covked out between the lbrear.d middle
fingers I first saw it mentioned in a curious
peom by Vieira, the famous and indeed only
good Portuguese painter He bad one given
him when a child to ¡save him from nn evil eye,
for he was iu more datlfer on account of his
being hand.-ome and quick ; as we say, a child'
is too clever to live. ** The gift of g; b'1 taunt

praise, to coax.

Randolph and Wright. The Buffalo
Commercial relates   the  following :
Nearly an entire day was once occupied ¡it
tho House of lU'presentativcs by an altercation
between Mr, Randolph and John C, Wrigbt,
now tbe senior editor of tbe Cincinnati Gazette.
It was wholly fortuitous and unexpected,
however : and the gentlemen themselves wero
much surprised in finding themselvesin a contest of words, as the House was amused at the
dexterity and vigor with which it was conducted. Mr. Wright was a very ready and adroit
man, full of pluck and confidence, and instead
of acting on tbe defensive he made that course
indespeneible to bis antagonist, Mr. Randolph
was antonished atthe skill with which bis
blows were returned, and he finally drew out;
with the remark that if he bad hid the least
idea that thero wn so much stuff in the little
man, he never would have meJdled with him.
