"AShlNSToN, Oct. =, 1910.
The Winncbago delegation. in all their fantastic trap
pings and paint, gave an entertainment this evening ai
Apollo Hall, TO Colonel Medil, the Commissioner OF In
dian Affair, and a number Of invited guests. With the
aid OF ginghuC buttons, small bells, and gourds. in each of
which was n handful OF beans, and with the indispensable
brass drum. made from a nail keC. in addition TO a CONT
nued chorus not unlike that OF the Nilerites at one OF their
ascension revivals. they kept up a most deafening clamor TO
their varioIs bsrbarie dances. There was n dance to a low
mono,onous chorus, representing "a brave" out upon the
war path, eouehing to the ground, creeping along upon his
abtomrn-lcoklng Misunderstanding a Tree, spnnging
down, seizing and throwing his enemy 10 the Garth,
and scalping him, when he sets up a yell, IN which the
whole party unite with the most internal uproar. After
several other war dances, they gave one which wore the
aspect Of peace. A hrave came out ard dance a solo, in
ereasing IN the rapidly Of his motions, ull completely ex-
hausied, when the whole party sent up a shout, followed by
a Wild triumphant eho'us, half the party joining in the
promenade. The brave then lard down his arms, and an
other came out, and 50 On for half an hour. The gutieral
music 10 this branch OF the performances. sounded very
much in the beginning like the smoihered "ehufing" VI a
heavy steam engine IN the basement, increasing after the
style OF the railroad chorus OF the Eihiopisn min.trels, to
the utmost rapiaiiy, al watch point the solitary dancer stop
ped with a veil, which was answered BY a veil from his fell
lows, and Immediately lol!owed by the most savagely vo-
cifercus yelling and dancing by the whole company. These
fine specimens OF the natives would have run equal to
the Swiss Bell Ringers, It they would undertake the United
States and West India elrcaIt in the way Of trade.

By this decision, it would seem to be the opinion Of the
New York Convonton-an opinion boldly expressed, in.
decd, by a few Of the members-that not only can there
be no Church without q Bishop, but that no earthly tribu.
nal has a night TO deprive a Bishop, once ordained, Of his
tile and functions, however Aagrsnt and indispltable may
have been his immoraIiuuB and crimes! Without inten.

Bishop Ondordonk, with regard to which there iz such a
wide difference among the ministers as well as laymon Of

referred to, however ~congenial to the atmosphere Of Rome,
will find but few defenders IN this country, among Pfotes-
