states that her first great surprise was being
required TO mount a wild, vicious pony, ard
travel without saddle or attention over the

Earth river a distance of several hundred
miles. Her inability TO make the journey
provoked mirth among her husbands CON-
panions, and finally exasperated, Squatting
Bear until he bound her with rope to the
pony's back and led the animal himself on
the westward trail. She was still more sur
prised to find her husband possessed Of two
other wives, one vicious, dirty squaw Of
forty years Of age, the other a girl Of scarce
ly fourteen years. Her life in his Wigwam,
or teepce, was not as bright and happy as she
expected it would be. Her husbands ab-
senco was taken advantage of by her rivals
to compel her to perform the vilest drudgery,
such as gathering wood, cooking meat, ard
seraping robes for the tanning process but

The steamer Fontenellc, arrived at this
city yesterday morning after three months
trip to Fort Benton and the mountains
Among her miscellaneous cargo Of robes,
furs, peltries and Nebraska corn, was o fe-
male named Mss Amanda Barber nee Squat

offered herself in 1867 as voluntary mis-
sionary to the Brule Sioux, then occupying
the territory between the Cheyenne river and
the Big Horn Mountains. Dacotah Terri
tory.
Miss Barber created quito a sensation in
the Eastern States by her marriage with a
young Iudian named Squatting Bear, who
accompanied a party Of Sioux to Washing
ton in 1867. Miss Barber was at that time
a clerk in one of the Departments at Wash
ington in position secured for her by Cen
cral Butler, before the impeachment fasco.
According to her own statement made yes
terday to our reporter, she was firmly i'm
pressed with the reality and perfection Of the
red men of the plains. She bad read every
thing relating to the Indian tribes from the
reports Of the Commissioner Of Indian AZ
fairs down to the latest dime novel. In ft

life as white squaw. Her romantic ideas
of Indian life seem to have received terri
