There is in one of the great hospitals oí New York a full-blooded Indian girl acting1 as a nurse in the woman's ward, says a Pittsburffh Dispatch correspondent. She has the black hair anti ph3-siog'nomical peculiarities of her race, is pn ith the bloom of youth, tall and litho of figure and of most prepossessing appearance. She has been thoroughly educated at Ilampton institute and at training school and has all the advantagcs of an educated and intelligent woman. I am told by an ex-patient of the hospital that the wild blood of this Minnehaha of the pill and pestle shows but in one way. and that rather an advantage in a room wiiere there are sick women. At night her tread is absolutely inaudible. She moves as quietly as her great-great-grandfather mijjht have done on the quest for scalps - much as a eat doos when there is forbidden cream in sight. Duriug tho day her step is no more noiseless than that of another woman, thoug"h always light and springy. It might not be a bad idea for some person to train up a whole lot of Indian girls for a gainful occupation, to which, they seem so well adapted by iniieritance. _
