Enthusiastically, we noticed party Of
Indians who were promenading the principal
thorougfare, seemingly regardless Of the many
eyes fixed on their movements. Three OF them
wore blue blankets, and the fourth sported white
one with the representation of rainbow painted
thereon, and spanning his broad back His head
was ornamented with gay ribands and feathers,
and he took the lead The next in authority ike
wise had his caput fancfuly adorned, while the
heads of the others were covered only with black
coarse, straight hair which nature gave them.
Those are real Americans, speaking their ma
tive tongue, and no other A person may ask
them whence they came, and whittier they are

or grunt that would render him no wiser than ne
was before. Perhaps they have caught up the
