Dr. SLADE.-Dr. Slade left for the East
last evening. Yesterday a number of skep-
teal people who believed that the Dr. pre-
pared his states chemically, brought their own
states to him to be written on. In each case
the states were written on by the spirits as
easily as the ones used by the doctor. Sew

from dead friends took the states home and

scalps were cut of and placed on the platform
to be eaten by the chiefs some time before dark.
This concluded the ceremonies, and the crowd
dispersed. :
Much natural politeuess was displayed by
the people, who reserved a space for the
foreigners, and refrained from obstructing their
view of the proceedings. A dance, in which
fifty men with drums took part, brought the
festival to close about midnight. They
danced slowly down lane in front of chiefs
house to the sea, singing a sort of dirge, and
each man filled his drum with salt water,
thereby spelling it and signifying that all was
over.
The lavish distribution of food must have
