1t will be seen from the above what a choice and
euphonious set OF gentlemen are soiourning in our
midst "Lone Wolr' is very suggestive, and
"Slceping Wolfn while 1t affords chance for life,
reasonably intimates terrible fate If the animal
should only awake. "Dog Eater'' must be very re.
spectacle individual, for 1t might be worse. The
gentlemen OF the Comanches are not quite such a
voracious crowd as their friends the kiowas For
instance, "Silvcr BrOochu smacks OF civilization
and "Gray Legglngss cannot be very seriously
Elk' and "Butralo Hump" are the "rowdies'' Of
this tribe. Among the Arapahoes ''Big Mouth'
o. Bears" IS awful. The Caddoes evidently are adj.
vancing, FOR they have George Washington"

rather too Christian under the circumstances.
Yesterday morning the guests Of the Grand Gen.
tral were rather astOnished to find lowering around
some OF the upper corridors such strange looking
people as the recently arrived "chc-en OF the Big
tough n.rves, often imagine that the Dev is orna
mented with blazing eyes and an extraordinary
suit OF clothes, not to speak OF cloven foot, and
little wonder thQt the news was soon spread about
the house that there was something mOnstrous on
the fourth loor, and that accordingly ladies' and
Stairs to see poor "Lorn "Lo'' looked, on tic oc r
casion OF these many and sudden visits, very much
as If lot Of mosquitoes were in the nelghborhood

daub on his cheek bone he seemed to be perfectly
happy In himself, and he drew his blanket around
him with the air Of man who was martyr but
had made up his mind to be comfortably resigned
to his Iate clone Wor and "Heap o. Bears" did
made about them, but they preserved their equa-
nlmity with horrible scowl and q malicious
silence some ONE Of the delegation were not by any
mems OF the noble red man. Eleven squaws accom-
panied the delegation, and these were rather good
looking ladies' indeed had they pale faces some Of
them might he said to be handsome. Even among
the ladies Of these wild men femininity will appear,
and more than once might be seen some savage
piece Of coquetry, which showed that Mrs. "Io' is
Just the same as any other woman. There was a
great furry when the delegation, squaws and all,
were getting ready TO 60 out to church; and, in
deed, most curious sight they presented, in full
regalia They seemed to devote all their attention
to the appearance OF their heads, to the fOrgetful
ness OF their neither portions. An extraordinary
collection OF pantaloons was the result, all coors
sizes shapes and styes-d la Greeley, stove pine,
widc-awake and nondescript. "Dog Eater" had a
band OF tin around venerable st0vepipe that
must have been many time on the block. "IIeap

the date Of 1S49 or thereabOuts.
A Powwow with Christian Pale Faces.
The routine OF the business Of the Episcopal
Board OF Missions, now in session in the Church OF
Our Saviour i'm East Twenty-1fth street, was
pleasantly varied by the introduction OF delcga-
tiOns OF Indian tribes from the reservations in
Arizona, Texas, New Mexico and the Indian Terri
tory. There were altogether thirty persons.

&C., &c. The Right Rev. Bishop Pierce, OF Arkan-
sas, clad in episcopal vestments, led the Indians
from the vestbue OF the church through the centre
aisle to the chancel, where, having ranged them in
q circle, he addressed few words to them in
English which were interpreted by Captain Albert
OF the United States Army, and TWO other gentle

ing. He said he had been to Washington and lad
had good talk with the Great Father and that he
was going to take hts advice and get his own
people to adopt the white mans manner OF life.
George washington, chic. OF the Caddoes said he
whites, and that he would try and get his people
TO follow in the path of the white man, that when
they die they may find the better country; and he
believed that the other red people present had the
same feeling as himself, and wished to find
the same place. He hoped that schools would
be established among hs people, SO that their
children may be taught as the white children are
taught He was glad to meet hts white friends.
Milky Way, chief OF the C0manches, was glad TO
meet his friends. He, too, had been to Washington
and had good talk with the President and with
the Indian Commissioner and what they had said
20 him only confirmed his own resolution To live
like the white people; but he, too, wants schools
built Tor the children OF his people, that as they
grow up they may live more like the whites.
BLACK BEAVER
Delaware Indian chief, was introduced as a
former guide OF Audub0n's and as o man who, at
the breaking out OF the war or the rebellion, was
worth $4,000 in personal property but now he is
almost penness. He and his people remained
loyal to the federal government, and the auth0rl-
ties at Washington promised him protection In his
