they got they persisted in completing
their chant and petition. Then return
ing short distance up the beach an
irregular crescent of spectators was
formed about hundred feet across,
with the Indians sitting close together
in the center. They began their next
performances by smoking sacred cigar
cites filled with tobacco, by the way),
praying meanwhile and blowing the
smoke among the feathers Of the prayer
sticks which they carried, after which
they cast them into the waves. Then
the two head chiefs, taking off their
moccasins and leggins, waded INTO the
lev waters and filled their vases and
gourds, after which all returned to the
tent which had been erected for their
use, and Mr.. Cushing and one of the
Indians whirled in the air sticks at the
end of twisted thongs by which q whiz-
zing sound was produced and the gods
informed that the ceremony was ended.
At the tent another song was chanted,
in which was recited the good expected
to result to the tribe from the services,
and meal was scattered to the west
ward, the direction which the chiefs
must take in returning to their own
land. After this, the Zunis emerged
from the tent and proceeded to the
shore and filled two large demiiohns
with water to take home for use in their
religious rites. Mr.. Gushing was then
initiated into the highest order, that of
the bow. The ceremony consisted
simply of sprinkling, as in the church,
the washing of hands and affectionate
embracing. This admission of the
young ethnologist into the inner sane

An Interesting Ceremony.

The visiting lunis attained the acme
of their desires to-day in being con-
Quoted to the brink of the ocean and
allowed to cast their mystic ceremonies
in its surf. Probably no more curious
spectacle has been witnessed ON the
shores of Massachusetts Bay since the
Pilgrims landed at Plymouth than that
which was presented this afternoon
when these mysterious descendants of
the oldest inhabitants of the American
continent, surrounded by curious COM
pany of city officials and invited guests,
knelt on the shore of Deer Island and
prayed to the God of their forefathers,
whose embodiment is the Atlantic.
Among the party who went down on
the city steamer were Mayor Green,
Rev. Phillips Brooks, Prof. Putnam,
Prof. Horsford and Prof. Morse. The
Indians were awestruck at the sight of
SO much water, and began mumbling
prayers and chanting sacred songs as
soon as the steamer left the dock, anon
scattering to the wind the sssacred flour"
which they brought with them for the
purpose. The wind was blowing fresh
from the northwest when the boat
reached the island, and the Indians and
their guide, Mr.. Gushing, dressed in
their finest feathers, and painted in their
most elaborate fashion, were speedily
conducted to point where they could
look eastward over the sea. After
squatting on their launches on the
weedy rocks, and with the utensils for
holding the water placed upon the
ground before them, they began prayer
chant in subdued tone of voice, scat
tering meal from their pouches upon the
sea as they did SO in four different direc-
tons, to propitiate the gods of the north
and the south, of the upper and lower
regions, the smother of the ocean and

preston, or drawn out and prolonged,
as we should say, in uttering the same
idea.
The rising tide interfered considerably
with the spectators, some of whom had
to wade in from their places of observa-
ton, and an enterprising photographer,
who had planted himself on two small
stones in the very front of the kneeling
Zuni and trained his camera on them,
was soaked up to his knees before the
negative was taken. The Indians, how
ever, were much pleased with the rising
tide, considering it, in their ignorance

Union Generates Balance. Sheet.

Continental papers give some particu-
lars of the balance sheet of the Union
Generate Company, which, if authentic,
are very startling. They bear
the semblance of truth, but must, of
course, be accepted with reserve until
the official report is made public. The
statement now current is that the total
liability of the concern to the public is
under fS, 900, 900, the liabilities on de-
posts being but about "a, $780, 900, most
of them being at fixed dates. There is
also said to be over. 81, SOC, 900 due to

banking business as we understand the
term, but in this respect resembles q

The enumeration of its assets brings this
fact more fully to mind. The total as
sets are, it would appear, set down at q
little over go 10000 Were these as
sets good, the bank would be solvent.
All the brag about huge profits and re-
serve would have disappeared, but the
capital of FL ,OO0, 900 paid up would be
intact, or nearly so. But are the assets
good? Everybody knows that they can
not be. The version now current puts
the debts due the company by the cou-
isses of Paris and Lyons at ia, 800, 200,
and it will be a fortunate thing for the
shareholders and, creditors if half the
sum be received. Among the other
debts due the company, or s''assets'' in
its possession, are 81, 800, 900 Of sssparti-
cipations, - atlarge part of which will
