near Calais, Me-, "a tribe Of Indians
Who still hold 10 the ways Of their
fathers. A chief was chosen by them
ltecently, and when the tribe found
that the chief had no wife they set
about getting him one, as it is against
the law for an unmarried man TO be
at tho head of the tribe. Two In
dams, accordingly, were appointed q
committee 70 ,Gnd the, wife. The
chief braided seven straws together,
and gave them TO the committee,
Tan thesquaws were called together
In the hall. Ono ~ the committee
marched around shaking a, horn full
of shot andtho other followed with
the braided straw, chanting as be
passed. After awhile both men ap'
peared TO bit on the same maiden
