A lot Of old Quaker gentlemen are run
ming the concern. 1t is supposed by the
kitchen and stable cabinet of Grant, that
the sight of a band of brothers of the
Shaker persuasion going through their
national dance will exercise benign and
peaceful influence on Mr. Noble Savage,
and cause him to forget his whisky and
paint, and to no longer be light in the

ring get possession of the Indian Red
Mans Bureau, tits proposed that grand
