JEALOUSY AMONG THEINDIANS.


! That the society and influence of the
/ capital of this Nation have proved On
+ ticing and brwildering tn more than one
man whose affections had not wandered
| beyond his own hcarthStOnc before
visiting Washington isa well known
| fact but its effects have lately been felt
in a remote quarter, which might have
been supposed to hc exempt from all
outside Influence, and especially from
| the destinations Of ashingtou' s Socie-
| ~ and its ladies. 1t Is even rumorrl
that a divorce, or its equivalent IN the
customs Of the people Of most ancient
race on our continent, may occur iii
high life among the Inni Indians in
con sequence Of the visit the chief
men of the tribe paid u Washington
last spring.
PUT DOWN AS AN OLD LIAR
Those who have read "Gulliver's
Travels" have seen nothing therein
more incredible than the Inni Indians
hay" found the stories told by the aged
Pedro Pine and others ofthrir tribe who
visited Washington last spring. When
Mr.. Stevenson, of the Bureau Of Eth
nology, and his wife, his incstimablc
helpncrt in his researches, visited Iuni
in the early autumn they did not see
Pedro, who, in spite Of his nearly four
score and ten years, was out OF town at
work on his farm. They, however,
heard much of his wonderful narratives
since his return, those who had stayed
at home saying that Pedro had "talked
inccs sanity since he came back and
had told many lies" He had told them
of the water ne had seen run in the
bath rooms and the gas and of the fine
things in the Washington houses, and
they would not believe word Of it all.
THE ZUNI LADIES IN ARMS.
Worse than all he had told the Iuni
women that the plainest white woman
he aw in Washington was handSomer
than he prc1tiest Iuni woman. This nat
urally aroused their indignation, which
they expressed frcclyto Mrs. Stevenson,
asking her il it could br true. The wife Of
"cdros son, 'thr Governor, is passion
atrly in love with her husband and anx-
iuus ~ asked Mrs. Stevenson iihc fell in
love with amy Washington ladies', as
his father said they were 50 beautiful.
\ TrSI GALLANT BOUGHT TO GRIEF.
The handsome young Moqui, who had
quite Il career rs "a 'mashcr' in Wash
ingtou and thought he had undoubtedly
won the heart Of Il certain young girl
whom he calls Mrrnic, Minnie being
her name, lisa married man and be
sought Mrs. Stevenson to be silent as to
his career in Washington, especially in
his wife, presence. When asked what
had become Of the trinketS ladies in
Washington had given him, which he
had worn when he left and while here,
he admitted with some show of feeling
that his wife had taken them from him
after he had got home and she heard
what old Pedro said Of the beauty of
the ladies h" had seen in Washington
and their attentions 10 him. 1t was
also rold by Mr. stevenson that since
his wife heard ali this from Pedro the
Nuvui's domestic relations had been de
c!Grdly unpleasant.
THE GKEES-EYKD MONSTER.
Pedro, II seems, had not intended to
make mischief, but, merely being car
r!rd away himself by he forces of the
iLct, Ii, had TO narrttr, wished to i'm
press his people Us strongly Us possible
with ia" superiority OF thoSr b" had met
in bis travels and the warmth of the re
crldi"n given him and his companions
by such superior beings, which, of
course, added greatly To his own lnIpor-
tanc". 1t does seem somewhat llIdi-
rruIIS 10 think of the wics Of Washing
ION society having had disturbing III
tiu"ucc upon that of distant Zuni, al
town milk" any other in the world and |
III manners, language and rae"
FROM the inhabitants of any other. Pc
drO', own wife is old like himself and |
ha. not apparently thought Of his max |
IN = any cUnulrstS while absent, or of
his affections straying after whit" ladies,
bur the other married women whose |
husbands were here will not be willing
10 have them travel soon again.
