How an Indian Can Die.

A touching instance of this characteristic
trait occurred at the late engagement between
a small war party OF the Chippewas and a
greatly superior party Of Sioux, near Cedar
Island Lake. Tho Chppewas who were en-
route for q scafping furay upon the Eioax vii.

salutcd their ears was discharge Of are arms

he would show his enemies how a. Chippewa
could die At his request they seated hun on

He then commenced painting his face and
singing his deathsong As his enemies APP
preached him, he only sang louder and live
lier strain, and when several had gathered
around him, fourishing their scalping knives;
aud screeching forth their demoniacal yells of
cxultation, not . look or gesture manifested
that he was even aware Of their presence. At
length they seized him and tore the scalp from
his head. Still seated With his back against a
large tree, they commenced shooting their ar
rowsainto the trunk around his head, grazing
bis ears, neck, &C., until they literally pinned
him fast, without having once touched vital
part. Yet ourshero remained the same imper-
durable stole, continuing 10 channt his defiant
strain, and although one Of the number -four
shed his reeking scalp before his eyes, still not

AMOR MoURxrNG.-It is rather sircaldf
that different countries have different eolors for
mourning
In America and Europe BLACK IS worn BY
those who mourn for their departed, friends,
and this, from its soinbre and melancholy hide
seems particularly adapted for the garments Of
sorrow and regret.
In China, the very reverse of black is in use
