An epidemic lately broke out in the
Navajo tribe of New Mexican Indians, and
a medicine dance of unusual ceremony was
deemed necessary. There we're six per-
formers in fantastic costumes. Each bore
stone-headed arrow Of great size, to the
stem of which was attached tuft Of feath-
ers, in order to conceal the mechanism by
which the implement was telescopically
shortened. The feature of the ceremony
was trick by which the dancers seemed to
thrust the arrows down their Threats.

While Mr.. Talmage was addressing his
audience last Tuesday night, treading the
platform with the ease and grace that
eharacterizes him, and uttering the keen,
polished sentences we love to hear. While
he was telling, with terse language, the
insignifeance Of Ingersoll in setting aside
the holy and sacred things we cherish in
this world, while the audience, with intense
interest, listened to each word distinct and
clearly uttered by the distinguished lee
turer, voice from the gallery mnmbled
outs "In-ger-soll Says" There was a
simultaneous movement of the audience;
TALL eyes sought the locality from whence
the voice had come. In the gallery a
spare old body in gray coat had partly
arisen, the chances of the spectators rested
upon him as the cause of the interruption.
This man was bowling, his chin upon which
was little gray gotee, was moving up and
down as his lips attempted to put forth the
words concerning In-ger-soll." The man
was very red in the face, and apparently
very weak in the extremities, for as he half
arose, he lost his balance, or missed his
footing and ingloriously tipped backward.
The audience, seeing spare, purturbed
face, and a little gray gotee, with pair of
uncontrolled pedal extremities, flying up
ward, as the man in gray became dissolv-
ing view. While anxious gIances sought
his locality, he again arose in sight, but
this time he was swiftly moving along,
over the seats, strong hand at his collar
steadying his movements as he arose and
Ifell in disappearing, while down to the
spectators below came the audiable utterance
/ "ln-ger-soll s-a-y-s-a-a-a." Handle him
/ lightly" Mr.. Talmage looks up, saying in

breaking strain of the steel wire is about

employed in the making of submarine

Indian Territory FASHIONS.

LeWeT 20 -, LOUIS Gt9Qe-DeHocrdt.
1t is true these Usage, Kaw, Ponca and
Otoe Indians nearly all wear leggings,
moccasins and blankets and eschew the
clothes of white men and women. They are
also addicted TO high cOlOrs and paint
their faces, as many white women do. Oc-
caslOnally a woman is seen in fun dress,
with a strip of YermiliOn an inch wide eX-
tending from the forehead past the crown
of the head to the nape of the neck, the
hair being specially parted for that pur-
pose. But such vanity falls far below that
which invents the towering pOmaded
head-dresses of eXtra-fashiOnable white
women. Both men and women wear ear
rings and brooches. The earrings are
generally in the form Of bangles. Imagine
a lingering of round silver wire, and on
this loosely strung by their smaller ends
half-dOZen little silver bangles about an
inch long and shaped precisely as a tin
diHner-hOrn, with a flange at the mouth,
and you have fair description of these
bangled rings. Those who can afford them
wear gold instead of silver sometimes,
but the Indians fOndness for the latter
metal ornaments is never wholly over
come. Holes are punched in the boys
ears, and as they grow the holes enlarge.
They are also often torn larger by acct
dents, and many old men have Sits in
their ears an inch in length. Some have
the rings on the tops of their ears instead
OF the Iobes, but this is matter of fancy,
you know.
Frequently bracelets of imitation wam-
pun are worn by both sexes. The impOr-
tatiOn of genuine Wampum has nearly
ceased. 1t is very expensive, costing
about 81 per inch at wholesale. The imita-
ton is made of bone, and costs about 10
cents per piece, three inches in length.
The genuine wampum is said to be import
ed wholly from China. But some may
ask, "What is wampum?7 In appear
ance it looks like piece of white maca-
rOni, an inch long. 1t is made of white
shells into sticks and then bored length
wise in some peculiar manner. The CEN
tire of each piece is a trifle larger in dia-
meter than at either end. 1t is worked in
with bead-work and made up by itself,
and is more precious to an Indian than
any other commodity.
