WHAT THE INDIANS DID AT THE SMIrHsoSIAx
On Monday morning, about twenty of the Indian
chiefs and warriors now in the city visited the
conducted
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
es'ed py the representation of war dance around
TWO caPtives-a woman and child. They were
much disappointed at not finding portraits Of any
OF their own tribes in the gallery
In the apparatus room, a number of them were
induc-d to join hands, and a severe palyanic
shock was given them. Some Of them gave v. mt
10 the significant - Cgh,' indicating their sur
rNrfs and
person they supposed had struck them; others
rnooed their arms and elbows, and, from the gen
eTal talk in their own language, one would sup
pose thew had entered upon a scientific discussion
OF Tue nature OF the singular manifestation.
Afterwards several of them took shoe ks sjnply
ana IL was curious to witness the grim deterrnin-
alton with which these stoics of the wilderness
undertook to assume that air Of impassiyeness
which tradition asserts they maintain when un-
dergolng torture az captives. But it Was no 20
they had TO knuckle to science, and, as one after
the other Of the astonished braves was doubled
mp, tumbled upon his knees, and Knocked into a
heap generally by the powerful battery, be was
saluted by most uproarious jeers and laughter by
Some Of the party mounted the high north
tower OF the Institute bat when at the top only
one Of them could be prevailed upon to approach
the edge and look down the dizzy heipht-most
OF them squatting down as soon az they reached
the summit.
One of them was observed placing small pieces
OF tobacco on the parapet. The Interpreter ex-
planned that this was intended as an Offering To
the Great Spirit, as the Indians believed that at
THIS height they were nearer the Deity than they
Dad ever been before, and accordingly improved
the opportunity TO pay their worship.
On descending the Indians had a grand war
dance with singing, in the lecture room, and
shortly after concluded this visit most interest
ing to both the Indians and the .spale faces,
present.
ATTENTION PoLIcE.-Mr. Editor: Allow me
through the medium Of your widely circulated,
paper to call the attention Of the police to the fact
that party of boys, from eight TO eighteen years
oi age are in the habit Of meeting about the IN
occupied house on the corner Of Pennsylvania
avenue and Four and "a half street. They may be
seen about there at all times, and prove a source
OF Destruction OF property and great annoyance
To the neighborhood. They make a rendezvous
OF The house spoken Of, breaking the glass and
FORCING the locks with impunity; and no fasten-
In%s can be put on the doors to Withstand them.
This property Is assessed at fourteen thou
SAND dollars; and, as IL is assessed with other
property, II is 10 be hoped that il will be protect
