The most sumptous feast awaited the
guests at the residence Of the brides father.
It was spread in . camp kettle and Suspended
over the FIRE that burned in the center Of that
princely lodge. It consisted Of an epicurian
medley. In it We found young dog meat,
very tender, blue corn and old dog meat,
beaver tails and mule-stcak, fresh fsh, and
sugar, making altogether one Of the most
palatable and nourishsng compounds that
ever graeed royal camp kettle. The horn
spoons of occidental luxury seldom convey
to the educated palate viands more tempting
and delicious. As for drinks, corn whisky
made of red pepper, tobacco plugs and rain
water, together with molasses- sweetened
coffee made up the List. T' saEs
