There was a celebration in London the other

Sir Walter Scott. To give additional 6clat TO the
spectacle and put money into the treasury of the
affair, nearly all the royal family of Great Britain
volunteered ." for that occasion only" The Prince
and Princess of Wales, Prince and Princess Chris
tan, Prince Teck Princess Louise and Marquis
of Lorne, and Prince Arthur appeared in costumes
of characters in ScOtts novels. Here an array

the benefit of the Waverley monument, for what

say that the whole show Melted only the patry sum

royal personages might have saved their dignity and
done as much for the monument fund by giving the
$500 out of hand. And yet the affair is called in
London an immense success. Only think how such q

There was quite an interesting
school exhibition at the First Union
Baptist Church of the parish of AS
sumption, some four miles down
Bayou Lafourche, one day last week.
We understand from q gentleman who
was present that the scholars of sew
eral schools participated, of one of
which Miss NJ. Clinchey was principal
and Miss j. Bagnetto assistant. The
exercises passed off with great credit
to both teachers and pupils, and were
witnessed by quite number of peo-
pie. Among the more noticeable
features were: the recitation of "The
Cross and the Crown" by Maria
Dickerson, a remarkably intelligent
child Of only six years; "0ur Father
at the Helm" by Milly Minor; and
"Jesus Ever Near" by Maggie jack
SOM After the conclusion of the
exercises there was a fine dinner
spread, which the pupils did ample
justice to, attacking the good things
with capacities sharpened by the
pleassS bit manner in which the exhibit
ton u Id passed off.

Curious Customs of Iowa Indians.

+. There is still remaining, near To-
ledo, Iowa, a small remnant of two
Indian tribes, the Sacs and Foxes,
known as the Musquakees, who num-
her about three hundred men, women,
aod children. They are very lazy,
dirty, and degraded, and probably will
all disappear in few years. A cor
resp0udent of the Milwaukee Sentinel
furnishes a long account of their Gus
toms, from which we quote:
g A warrior among them having
died, was placed ON "a large piece Of
bark, raised seventy feet high in an
old elm tree, secured by strong thongs
of leather, and left there for more than
two years. A squaw was buried in a
sitting posture, the lower part of the
body covered with earth, the head
and trunk erect, and, except a looping
forward and sinking downward as the
ground settled, the skeleton sat up
right fer nearly five years. One of
the men, buried in the same manner,
had his rifle placed at his, shoulder,
firmly clasped with both hands, and
dismally aimed by the horrid hunter at
blank vacancy, till nature dissolved the
tendon of the arm and the weapon fell
lengthwise on the grave. Sometimes
they inter at the unusual depth of ten
and even eleven feet. AT others the
corpse is laid ON the surface of the
ground and covered with earth. The
graves are stuck with sticks and piled
with poles, and little white flags fiut-
ter from slaves set in the ground,
while rags of various colors adorn the
branches of the overhanging trees.
"The Musquakees, save in sin
gular particular, are strictly honest !;
and though they have but the slight
est knowledge of numbers, they re-
member their accounts with surpris-
ing accuracy. When they buy any
thing for which they cannot lay down,
they must have the amount written
on piece of paper for them. They
cannot read it of course, but they
never fail to bring it with them when
they come to settle, and to know just
how much money it represents. Their
idea of business is just this:
Ii Maw-nock-e-maw owes me ten
dollars, l write out his note for the
amount, sign his name to it, and he
makes his mark by touching the
top of my penholder while ! execute
the mark (X) myself. Then he keeps
the note to remind him that he owes
me. Without pocket, pocketbook,
drawer or shelf III all the world, it is
an utter mystery how he does keep it
but as certainly as the day of pay
ment comes, so certainly does he fish
out, from somerecess or fold of blanket,
breech-clout or leggin, the identical
promise to pay, and hands over both
it and the specified amount He has
no idea of interest. Interest is pro-
duct of civilization. Now that he has
paid it, must keep the note to re-
mind me that he does not owe me-
Should | afterward present it to him
for payment, the fact of its being in
my possession would be to him con-
elusive evidence that he has paid it.

The Council met Monday and veyy
sensibly rescinded their former resolu-
ton deciding that the contemplated
sidewalk to the railroad depot should
be built upon the lower side of Caba-
hanoosse street. An additional reason
for this step-besides the fact that it
must be on the upper side to connect
in the proper manner with the
depot piatform-.is, that the building
of it upon the lower side of the street
would necessitate the immediate re-
moval back of several houses that
eneroaeh upon the space allotted for a
hanquette. The persons that live in
these houses are mostly engaged in
the sugar houses, hence could i'll af-
ford at present to lose the time neces-
sary to effect a removal of their dwell

Irishman died on the Valcour Aime's

much bruised it is supposed he either
had. a severe fall or was injured in
a quarrel. He was stranger in the
