ST. joseph, Mo, May "a.
T. R. FIsHER,-Dear SIR: 1t is a
bright, beautiful, Sunday morning;
now and then throngs may be seen
passing or sauntering through the
streets in their holiday attire, to enjoy
the attractions of air and sunshine, or
to visit their places of worship, but
the little city of St. Joseph seems to
be more than ordinarily quiet anu
peaceful. The gentleman of leisure
who wishes for more correct ideas Of
aboriginal costumes, manners, and
amusements, may be readily gratiied
by a stroll down to the steamboat
landing, where several hundred Win
nebago Indians are encamped in tents
and reed huts. Here he may see the
marriage ceremony, and war, scalp,
and begging dances performed by
putting a dime in the hat. To. day an
eager crowd is gazing upon the river
to see the skill and endurance exhib-
tied by the young warriors in their
swimming exercises. As a tribe, the
Winnebagoes are well built, strongly
muscled specimens of manhood, much
larger than the Sioux, and any other
tribe l have ever seen, except the
Chippewas, who are the ~tallest and
most athletic Indians in North Amer
lea.
There has been considerable excite
ment here the last week. Charles
Mast, a Captain in the Provisional
Regiment of Militia, was shot and
killed in his own house, when endeav-
oring to preserve the peace, by a sol
der belonging to the Colorado Regi-
ment. Yesterday Lieut.. Graefenstein

We are afraid that this is like good many

good, but not true. We are sure, however,
that the country would rejoice to know
that lis good sense and earnest patriotism

hare been engaged for the last eight months
in guarding horses and supplies for Forrest to
