happiness Of those with whom she ia asso-
cioted ia the tender relations Of sister, wife

from the ills peculiar to her sex. Before
its magic power all irregularities Of the

An Indian Funeral.

a correspondent of the st Louis Re
publican thus described an Indian
funeral in Montana: The subject was u
sixteen-year-old nephew of Sitting Bull,
who had been attending school for some
time in the southern part of the Terri
tory, and while there contracted lung
trouble that proved fatal yesterday.
We followed the procession, which con-
sisted of four old women and two small
boys, professional mourners. The
corpse was most carefully wrapped, all
his new winter clothes being wrapped
about him, around which was large
piece of tent cloth, and the whole bound
with ropes. IL was drawn to the place
Of sepulture on travois--polcs made
fast TO the horse with one end trailing
on the ground. The body, singular to
state, lay with the feet toward the horse
and head near the ground. The place
of final deposit was made of poles ten
feet high, on which was a scaflold of
poles TO receive the body. Ii was no
little Job for the four women to lift and
deposit the body upon such an elevation,
a task which they contrived to accom-
pish by making q temporary ladder
On this scailold was already the body of
the deceascd's father, who had gone
thither three weeks ago. After 'burial
was completed tho four women began
their lamentations, wailing, digging the
ground, chanting, etc. When they had
partially subsidized one of the old women,
whose eyes were Extensively rheumy,
said she had been employed to do SO
much crying in the last few weeks that
she had almost lost her sight. When
these four women left four more came.
and thus in relays they will keep M
their lamentations for a long pcriod;
often extends over several years. \
infrequently relatives of decca;
person held in specially high esteem,
order to manifest the sincerity of tn,
grief, seriously mutilate themselves.
