complete and very fine outfit of the war
trappings of an Indian chief The con-
tribution comes from west of the Rocky
Mountains, but no letter of transmission
or description has been as yet received.
The suit consists of very fine headdress
of red flannel, trimmed and decorated
with beadwork and eagles feathers.
The long train which descends from
the head and over the shoulders
is also fringed with eagles feathers
There is an undershirt which is worn
next the skin. 1t is of red flannel also,
with black and white border, and is
sewn over with elk teeth. The suit in

alternate squares of dark blue and light
blue beads, and with fringes Of buckskin
down the sides. The war-shirt, worn out

beads and human hair, and is painted on
the breast and shoulder. In addition to
these articles there is a complete flowing
shabraque which is worn over the Shout

A Chinese Legend.

The other morning, when the keen air
and raw wind made gloves and overcoats
a necessity, a Baxter street Chinaman
stood before Chatham street clothing
store and shivered in his thin cambria
coat. He fastened his queer eyes on an
overcoat at the door, and the look on his
face showed that he was searching for
something of the kind.
"Nice goat--shust ft-sheap in
brice, and off Ger most exquisite quail
ity; six dollars dakes it," explained the
clothier.
ugh! ugh!" shivcred the Gilman an ,
smiling blandly, as if he wanted to carry
the idea that it was warm morning.
"You need dot goat" continued the
dealer. "You are shust freezing to bieces
in your tracks,
"Thlee dollar huff, allie same" replied
the Chinaman, drawing his sleeve across
his forehead, as if to wipe away perspira-
ton.
"Go away, you man from Shina-go
away to some sthore where dey hat sheap
shoddy goods!' exclaimed the clothier.
john passed on, turned the corner,
and, as the wind from the river struck
him in a new place, he jumped clear
from the walk and his teeth struck to-
gether. He turned hack, and as he
neared the clothier's he removed his hat
and famed himself.
Do you want dot goat or not?' asked
the dealer.
"Welly hotee today" replied John,
still tanning himself and putting heavily.
My souls! but how can you call such
wedder hot? Hefens alife, but 1 hat

"Woosh, more hotee-fo' dollar plenty

-Four dollar! Do you pel1ef dot

week. Walk on, Mister Shinaman.
The Chinaman walked. The wind
blew down his back and around his
ribs, and a teardTop gathered on his
nose. He must have an overcoat al
some price, and he again turned about
$50 you hat come for dot nice goat 81
queried the dealer, as he met him again.
{" Awful hotee!" gasped John, wiping
his face and tanning himself.
