The Fate of Old Women Among the
Colorado River Indians.

From Major Powel's Forthcoming Book
TIE life of an Indian maiden is blithe
and merry for few years, but when she
becomes a wife she is soon broken down
with the pains of motherhood and the
heavy labors which fall to her lot, and
she soon becomes wrlnkled, garrulous,
cross, scolding, in fact an old bag. Of
course such hays are not pleasant COM
pany in camp, and in the belief of the
Numa such old hays grow uglier and
meaner until they dry up and whirl-
winds carry them away, when they are
transformed into witches; and lest such
fate should befall old women, they are
taught that it is their duty to die when
they are no longer needed, and if they
donot die by natural means in reason
able time, they must commit suicide.
This they seem very willing to do rather
than to meet that terrible fate of being
transformed into witches and being com
PEELED to live in snake skins, and wriggle
about among the rocks, their only de-
light being to repeat the words OF
passers.by in pockery, / once saw three
old women thus voluntarily starving
themselves. l rode up TO what was
almost deserted camp, the three old
women only remaining, sitting by the
fire and intently gazing into the embers.
They seemed to heed not my approach,
but sat there mumbling and groaning
until they rose, each dragging up her
weight with staff. and then they Joined
in q sidewise, shutting, tottering, senile
dance around the fire, propped up by
their stats, and singing a doleful song.
Having finished which they sat again on
their heels and gazed into the fire, and l
rode away. On coming to the new
camp of the tribe the next day, and
inquiring Of Chui.atau-um-peak, their
chief, why these women were left behind
and what they were doing, | was in
formed they had determined to commit
suicide, fearing lest they should be trans
formed into witches.

Pulpit Freaks.

We are sometimes amused-that will
be better than to say anything severe
at the posture of some preachers. They
seem not to know what to do with their
legs. They were, doubtless, made to
stand on, to give the body firm and
commanding bearing and impressive
dignity. They stand on one leg and
crook the other around it like cork-screw,
and keep up perpetual twisting as if
they were winding themselves up. Then
they lift and wind up the other side, and
it seems all the time as if what they
we're saying was worked below. Of
course, such an unnatural and ungrace-
full posture as this detracts very much
from the effect of their preaching, be-
cause it excites your sympathy or some
thing else unpleasant, for they seen, to
be in pain all the time. In this
position every gesture is awkward,
for the hands are needed to sup
port the body. Then what a part
the pocket handkerchief plays with
some preachers. One spreads it length
wise on the Bible as il it were accessory
or help TO his sermon. He makes it a
kind of Elishas mantle with which to
divide the waters, to make a passage for
his ardent spirit, and he seems to rely
on it for that purpose. Another rolls it
up as compact argument, and gripes
it and talks to it, as much as to say,
Now I've got you. Another makes it
into a ball, and seemingly hurls it at
some stronghold he is bent on demolish-
ing; and still another makes a ram s
horn of it, not the little horn which

DAYS, and was inaugurating the agrees
siye policy demanded at Richmond and
by loud-mouthed civilians in the rear.
The plan was admirably conceived, but
owing to the nature of the ground very
difficult Of execution. Dense forests
and thickets and sluggish streams inter
vened. The troops were Unanswered
with great difficulty, and the attack was
delayed BY unforeseen circumstances
until surprise was out of the question.
The men were worn out with incessant
fighting, marching and digging bitches,
but they were all tried veterans. Some
of the regiments had been under fire
seventy.three days out of seventy.five.
The works of the enemy were carried
by one of the most brilliant charges on
record, but the Union forces were rap
idly concentrated on the ragged Confed-
crates, and Sherman's army was saved
by force of numbers and discipline.
General Mcpherson fell on the Federal
side, and General Walker on the other
Our loss was necessarily very severe,
and at a time when every man was
needed. The fruits of victory SO dearly
bought we're never realized. The Con-
federates, after holding the field short
time, were compelled to fall back. This
was turning point in the war which
fastened the close. Hood continued
his forward movements, and Sherman
started on his famous march to the sea.
History was made very rapidly, and the
end sooh came. To some of us it seems
but yesterday, and the memory of that
bloody day will ever be fresh and dis
tinct.

THE BARTLETT BARBECUE.

1t was The remark of many old citizens
Yesterday that the meeting at Bartlett
reminded them of the good old times
more than anything they had seen since
the beginning of the war. 1t was re-
union to be long remembered, and one
of which the people of Shelby county
may we'll be proud. Socially it was a
most complete and enjoyable success;
politically it was significant of the up
rising and the unanimity of the people.
The utmost harmony and enthusiasm
prevailed, and the friends of the great
Bartlett movement we're strengthened in
their determination to carry the ticket
by sweeping majority on the 9th of
August. At least $500 people by actual
count were present, perhaps 5000, and
ninety-nine out of every hundred
are hearty supporters of the
movement which called them to-
gether. 1t was magnificent gather
ing of the best people of the country,
and all or nearly so moved by common
purpose. The people of Bartlett and
the surrounding country are to be
thanked and congratulated on the per-
lection Of their every arrangement and
the splendid and abundant evidences 'os
their hospitality. under which the tables.

delivered very happy and appropriate
address Of welcome, and then introduced
Hon. Hosea Townsend, the solid and
vigorous Chairman of1he Bartlett Execu-
tive Committee. Mr.. Townsends speech
would be a good campaign docament If
printed. 1t was a strong and unanswer-
able indictment Of the Radical party
and stirring appeal in behalf of politi-
cal reform and good local government.
Judge Thomas W.. Brown, the next
speaker, gave very distinct and
concise analysis Of the political
issues before the people, and followed it
by an able and exhaustive argument.
Governor John c. Brown who happened
to be present, made brilliant and pow
erful speech which electrified the i'm
mense throng. 1t was pointed, senten-
tious and felicitous, and was certainly
one OF his happiest efforts. The next
speaker was Colonel Tom Avery, who
has lost none Of his ancient FIRE and
eloqueHce. He made telling speech.
Then came Hon. VIM. II. Stephens. who
made most practical speech, combining
himself almost exclusively to local
issues. He defined the political stains
of the Bartlett movement in a manner
highly satisfactory to the attentive
and applauding crowd. Here Dime,
