Fonr W.sHAKIE, Aug. 9.-The Presi-
Dental party has spent the day at Fort
Washable, preparatory 70 setting out upon
it's ride to the Yellowstone in the morning,
the President. Secretary Lincoln and Gen.
Sheridan returning the call which the
officers Of the post had made upon them
the previous evening. In accordance with
the expressed wish Of the Shoshone and
Arapahoe chiefs, their people we're afforded
An opportunity OF calling upon the Presi-
dent at 8 O'Clock in the afternoon. Shortly
before that hour they gathered on the
plains to the number Of about 500 war
riors, and mounted upon their handsome
ponies they dashed forward In line for
about Q Thousand yards, to o point near
which the President stood awaiting them.
The column then halted and several chiefs
dismounted and approached him. Among
them were Washable, the remarkable chief
OF the S~hoshones, from whom this post
takes it's name, and Black Goat, chief OF
the Arapahoes, Q tribe which, within a few
years, has been permitted to share the
occupancy Of this Reservation. The Presi-
dent thanked the visitors for calling upon
him, congratulated them upon their fine
appearance, assured them OF his interest in
their welfare, Of the satisfaction with
which he heard Of their exemplary con-
duct, and of their growing attention to the
practice of industrial pursuits. His adj

occasion, was interpreted to the Shoshones
BY an English-speaking member Of the
tribe, who bears the name Of Norcolt, and
to the A~rapahoes by one Of their number,
who has been educated at the Car
Isle School. The two chiefs
then shouted to their respective
tribe what had been said to them by their
great father, and the announcement was
received with demonstrations OF applause.
Both Washable and Blsckcoat made perth
nent replies. They thanked the President
for honoring them with . visit, vowed
their purpose OF living at peace with the
white men, and Of adopting as rapidly as
practicable their customs and manner Of
life. Tho Arapahoes' interpreter found no
little difficulty in making himself under
stood. His efforts were oddly recorded
by Capt. Clark of Gen. Sheridan's staff,
who has thoroughly mastered the beauti-
full and expressive sign language, which Is
the entire communication Of the two tribes
in intercourse with the whites, and fully
supplies the place of speech. Sharp Nose
then brought forward al Indian pony.
Placing it in the hands Of the President,
he presented the handsome animal for the
use of his daughter. Gifts Of moccasins
and leggings were presented also to the

followed a wal dance, in which 20 young
Shoshons braves took part. Eight beat
the drum and chanted q weird battle
song, far SURPRISING the efforts OF their
fellows. Some OF the dancers were nearly
naked and painted in various colors, others
wero dressed in fashy colored costumes,
no two of which were alike. Some were
ornamented with birds feathers and every
sort Of Indian ornament. The dance az
forded much entertainment to the other
party.
