ACQUITTED FoE.-We have noticed
several new games among the Washoe
Indians lately, the origin of which we
were at q loss to account for. But the
last number of the Misses Woodruff
& Claflin's Weekly explains the thing.
Brother Balcom, the new Indian
Agent, probably introduced them
among his brethren of the tawny skin.
The most interesting of these games a
noble red man informed us was called
''old hat" The performer passes his
greasy blanket TO a companion, picks
up an old hat in the street, losses it
into the air, and, with the aid of a short
stick, whips it into a flying rotating
wheel. and charges around through
the street in orderto keepin reach and
keep up the motion. 1t is barely pos

the Piutes before Brother Balcom came
to the Wilderness. but We were not
aware of the fact, and must therefore

in her hand she ~eIevateS it over her
head, and dances about the stage on
the other foot. the hat following her
wherever she goes, spinningaWay like
n patent blower. She then lies on the
floor and keeps it spinning in all
kinds of positions, both her brothers
dancing over her and iostling her as
though attempting to make the hat
fall, bat all to 10 purpose. Although
the whole performance is being done
in double quick time. she rises, gives
