specimens of the gods they worship,
also of the material used for printing on,
and specimen of the dress worn by the
native women was also exhibited. This
2Rtter consists of strip of dark material
about six yards long by four wide. without
any frizzing, tucking stitching, buttons,
no ks or o. es, or anything OF the sort that
goes to make up the dresses of our Newport
girls. The dress described above, Mr..
Dunlap says, is all that goes to make up
the native woman's entire outfit, and the
rapidity with which she can prepare for
the reception room, as exhibited by
a little native girl who accompanies Mr..
Dunlap, was really astonishing to the audi
ence. The little Miss who is about seven
years OF age, sang several hymns in her ma
tive tongue and one in English. She also
sang the National air of her country and q
humorous song. In all, the evening was
one well spent, both instructive and enter,
tanning, and there appeared to be general
desire that Mr.. Dunlap repeat his lecture
before taking his departure. The reverend
gentleman and his wife and the little girl
who accompanies them are the guests OF
Mr.. and Mrs VIM. Mcclure OF Madison
street.
