A MOHAWK AT A LONDON BALL.
during his stay in London. a grand fancy
ball or masquerade was got up with great
spiendor, and numerously attended by the
nobility and gentry. Capt. Brant. at the
instance of Earl MORA, was also present
dressed In the costume of his nation, wear.
ing no mask, but painting one half of his
face. His plumes nodded as proudly in his
cap as though the blood of hundred Per.
cles coursed through his veins, and his tom
ahawk glIttered in his girdle like FURNISHED
silver. There was, likewise, in the CAV &
gallant throng, stately Turkish diplomat O
high rank, accompanied by two Houri's
whose attention was particularly attractee
by his singular and, as he supposed, fantas

among the whole motley crowd of pilgrims
and warriors, hermits g. shepherds, knights
