these same capacious ladies, which, ele-
waited at an angle of forty-five degrees,
presented straight shute down cavern
GUS throats, without the aid of chop
sticks, but when these are brought into
requisition, there was no halt in the pass
age and the samp disappeared with all
the precision of hashed meat through a

TOMANAWUS DANCE.
By special request of General Milroy,
the great tomanawus dance was executed.
It appeared to be more of devotional,
than mirthful, character. The braves
form ring, in the center of which is
placed the tcmanawus man of the tribe.
They all then strike up monotonous
chant ir, rloring the Great Spirit to be-
stow all manner of temporal and spirit
ual blessings. It is accompanied by a
STOPPING, swaying motion of the body,
emphasized by beats of the drum. The
oldest men, leaning on slaves for sup
port, engage in this ceremony. Some of
these antlquated specimens are too weak
to undergo the fatigue of the violent
gesticulation, and simply lean ON their
supports and nod their heads in perfect
time, with the gravity and precision of

THE EVENING REPAsT.
The bill of fare for this meal happened
to be dog salmon and potatoes. Long
troughs, made of boards, like those
generally used in pig-styes. were brought
in; buck then run his hands into pot
of boiled salmon and hauling forth q
fish, tore off huge morsel and placed
it, with an emphatic squish, in the
trough. This allowance was placed at
equal distances apart, and another brave
followed with potatoes, placing one or
two of the boiled vegetables on each
piece of salmon. The troughs were then
arranged in line, and the diners
assembled as at the noon-day meal. The
hands are used at this meal, but
they were quite as effective as any me-
chanicaI contrivance could have been for
storing away with celebrity and dispatch.

Sir Waiter Scott's Find.

The regalia of Scotland has exper-
fenced many strange adventures.
For long time the jewels were sup
posed to have been either lost or
stolen, but Sir Walter Scott, while
indulging in his propensity for an
tiquarian research, came across some
old documents which led him TO be-
lieve that the regalia was somewhere
hidden within the precincts of Ed
inburg Castle. A royal license was
procured from George w., a COM
mission appointed and a general
search instituted. Scott, observing
that the wall where the present
crown room is, was of some thick
ness, came to the conclusion that
there mnst be secret chamber with
in the masonary. Tools were
brought, and, after some labor IN
removing the stones, vaulted room
was disclosed. An entrance being
effected and the rubbish removed,
they found in one corner of the ap
artment large chest, bound round
with iron, and secured by three
heavy padIocks. This being speed
lily broken signals of Scottish roy
atty. looking as fresh and beautiful
as they did in the days of "James
Fitz James," In the meantime the
news spread that the search for the
regalia was being made and all Ed
inburg poured forth ber hundreds
and thousands. They filed the es-
planade, and occupied every available
portion Of ground from which the
slightest view of the castle could be
obtained. The result OF the search
was awaited with national anxiety.
At last, when the assembled crowd
had about given up all hope, can
hastily run u ON the highest tower,
proclaimed to the thousands that the
regalia was again restored to
Scotland.

Mr.. THOMAS HUGHES says the only
annoying circumstance connected
with his Tennessee colony thus far,
was the presence of two Tennessee
ans who squatted on a piece OF
ground the title of which was SO in
volved that it could not be pur-
chased, and opened liquor saloon.
They could not be driven away until
two Indiana ladies started a school
next door, when in accordance with
the State laws the saloon keepers
were Obliged to move.

The Queen and Mr.. Gladstone.

If i. be true, as we read in London
correspondence of New York
paper, that Mr.. Gladstone snubbed
his Queen when she made of him u
demand for an increase of the salary
of the Prince of Wales, the fact will
lift the old Premier in the estimation
of every fair-minded man. We read
the other day that the Prince had
won $25, 900 on horse race. 1t is a
fashion of betting men to permit
the world to hear Of their winnings,
but they are careful to conceal their
losses. This race in which Wales
Won was not the first he ever bet at;
and it is only fair to suppose that he,
like other sporting men, has con-
cealed his losses. This is the more
fair when we reflect that without
gambling and without indulging in
other vices, it would be impossible
for the Prince Of Wales to spend his
income. He receives in round num-
bers $500, 900 per annum, $4,000 per
month, or, excluding Sundays, just
about $4,000 per day. His house
rent and travelling expenses cost him
nothing; his gifts in charity do not
average two thousand dollars per
month; he has no old mother or lit
tie sisters to support. The question
is simply whether the poor of Great
Britain should be taxed to pay for
the vices of dissoIute Prince. If
Gladstone has had the strength,
frmness and sense of justice sufficient
to negative the request of his soyer
eign, why, then, he is worthy to be
Premier OF the foremost Empire on
earth That Victoria should prefer
such request is a fearful satire on
royalty, for it shows that to the En-
press OF India, even as to the rag
picker, as the nobler faculties are
failing with age, avarice, the first in.
stinct which reveals itself in the in
FAINT, has returned and has com.
menced to rule old age. The
majesty of royalty cannot frown
down this vice. Though possessing
millions which she can never use
though hailed as sovereign of the
| mightiest nation that ever existed
this old woman loves money so much
that she will not save her son from
disgrace by paying his debts, and
worse still, she would tax England
which has been SO generous to hel
and hers to meet the gambling debts
| of q loose Prince. The showing il
not digni6ed one for either th'
Queen or the Prince, but old maj
Gladstone shines in magnifed ligh
/ in the interview.

The greenbackers are sad; the dem
