From the Washington Sidr,1

What the Indians did title Smith.
sonian.-On Monday morning, about
twenty of the Indians chiefs and war.
riors now in the city visited the Smith.
sonian Institution, and were conduct
ed through the various departments,
where they evinced their surprise and
delight, after their wild fashion. In
the picture gallery (Stanley's Indian
paintings they were particularly inter
ested by the representation of war
dance around two captives---a woman
and child. They were much disappoin-
ted at not finding portraits Of any of
their own tribes in the gallery.
In the apparatus room, a number Of
them were induced to join hands, and
a severe galvanic shock was given
them. Some of them gave vent to tho
significant ugh" indicating their sur
prise, and turned fiercely about to dis
cover the person they supposed had
struck them; others rubbed their arms
and elbows, and, from the general talk
in their own language, one would sup
pose they had entered upon q scientific
discussion of the nature of the singular
manifestation.
Afterwards several Of them took
shocks singly, and it was curious to
witness the grim determination with
which these stoics Of the wilderness un.
dertook to assume that air of impas-
sivencss which tradition asserts they
maintain when undergoing torture as
captives. But it was no go; they
had to knuckle to science, and, as one
after the other Of the astonished
braves was doubled up, tumbled upon
his knees, and knocked into heap
generally by the powerful battery, he
was saluted by most uproarious jeers
and laughter BY his fellows.
Some of the party mounted the high
north tower Of the Institute; but when
at the top only one Of them could be
prevailed upon to approach the odge
and look down the dizzy height, most
of them squatted down as soon as they
reached the summit.
One of them was observed placing
small pieces of tobacco on the parapet,
The interpreter explained that this
was intended as an Offering to the Great
Spirit, rs the Indians believed that at
this height they were nearer the Deity
than they had ever been before, and
accordingly improved the opportunity
to pay their worship.
On descending, the Indians had o
great war dance with singing, in the
lecture room, and shortly after conclu.
ded this visit, most interesting to both
the Indians and the "palc faces pres.

1t is scarcely necessary to say that
