The Sioux Sun Dance.

A number OF young braves left Stand.
ing Rock, Cheyenne agency md Fort
Peck reservation lately, aud joined Sit
ting Bull. Before, however, they could
be accepted, they had to pass through
tho ordeal OF tho sun dance. These
ceremonies wer0 held in wild canyon
OF tho Big Horn mountains; aud
graphic description OF them has been
given by W. q. Cooling, n young Mas.
sachusetts trader. The sun dance com.
menced on tho afternoon OF the eight
zenith Of June; and, from tho com.
mencoment to the end, two hundred
warriors wero not to eat or drink any,
thing. Under shades made OF cut
boughs, Sitting Bull and other warriors
were gathered to witness the ceremo-
MES. The two hundred young warriors
were ranged around medicine pole,
their bodies blackencd with charcoal,
and wearing nothing but n short skirt OF
bnckskin around their loins, and eagle
feather corOnets. They would dance at
intervals OF half IN hour, and were then
allowed n short respite until again called
out by the tomtom. A warrior WIS sus-
pended from the medicine polo by tho
ends Of n lariat fastened to two tLorns
stuck in tho flesh Of his back; in each
hand he held long pole. which partial
ly supported him; but every few min
utes he would swing tho whole weight
of his body upon tho lariat in au effort
to tear the th0rns from his flesh. After
hanging for three hours in the glaring
sun he was cut down and carried away.
Another young warrior, who wanted 10
show what n bravo heart he lad, lay
dowL on his face aud had SIX thorns put
in his back md shoulders; then turned
over, and had two moro put in his
bre.st, Then, rising to his feet, buffalo
skulls were fastened TO the thorns in his
back, aud lariat to those in his breast,
md 10 was made fast to tho medicine
pole. The tomtom struck up, nd tho
Indian begun to dance; and +, Tx skulls
tore out Of the flesh ono by one, Sitting
Bull aud tho chief would shout their
appreciation. Then, bracing back till
the lariat pulled his breast out like
wOman's, he danced with renewed vigor,
and as the thorns tore from his flesh and
he had demonstrated terrible pUSels OF
endurance, the chiefs gave him loud
cheers.

4 Skeleton Detective,

A physician, in Boston, having his
Office opposite the museum, being M
Eoyed by aomo dirty Italinu pcldlers,
who ran III upon him at all hours, laid
tho following plan to keep them away :
With human skull fixed on n pole,
around which he wrapped IN old Office
gown, and animating the whole by the
Office boy, q very respectable living
skeleton was produced, which had the
desired effect Of Kidding the premises OF
tho gamins. But another effect was
since produced not entirely anticipated.
The skeleton was set in tho closet near
tho door for future use. One day re-
Gently tho doctor was himself startled
from his front office by n milling OF the
dry bones, followed by an unearthly
yell, rs though his ghostship had "taken
on mortality" again and rushing ont,
tho doctor discovered fellow standing
on tho floor nearly scared to death. He
had stolen in md opened the closet
door, when tho skeleton had suddenly
confronted him, falling against the door.
The fellow was probably n sneak thief,
md the skeleton saved the DOCTORS best
coat. And now the gamins have it that
the building is haunted.

A Frlghtful Death Rate.

The death rate in the city Of New
York, the Herald says, now is higher
than that OF any other city in the world,
and it is simply frightful. For the week
ending July 8 it was 47.65 in 1000;
over tho river, in Brooklyn, it is 49, 10;
in Philadelphia, with its torrid reputa.
ton, only 40.17; in Washington, where
this summer is exceptionally unhealthy,
41.27. II we 60 to Boston We find II
24.63. II We go West to st. Louis 1t is
90 02; while South, in Charleston, it is
only 1866. This shows that the coun.
try is generally healthy outside OF New
York. II We analySe this mortality we
find that, out OF 1928 deaths during
the week ending July 10, 1876, 1862 were
children dAder five years OF age. OF
this number COG wero from summer
complaints. Tho majority Of these
deaths occurred in houses containing four
families or moro-in tenement houses.

truth, though he told them that four keys
were necessary te open the patent lock,
three of which were at the house of the
bank officers. At 4 o'clock A. NJ. Whit
