A tourist in Dakota recently attended
an Indian wedding. and describes it in
letter to the Boston 7'rarelLer. He says
that there was large tent, with the front
opened, and row of stakes covered
with canvas, making fence upon each
side leading to it. Outside was quite a
small tent trimmed with all kinds of
pretty feathers, and over the door wild
cats skin trimmed with beads and por-
cupine quilts. In the large tent, back in
tho centre, against very gay curtain, sat
a young girl, half breed, not more than
fifteen years old, dressed in skirt and
Jacket with bright buttons and boar's
teeth, her hair long and black and falling
in front, while q wreath of feathers on
her head completed her wedding outfit
All around were ornaments, and yards of
pink, red and yellow calico as drapery,
and on little green trunk near the bride
sat the old chief wrapped in buffalo
robe, looking like a great bear.
Along on one side of the tent sat the
women and girls, and upon the other side
the men, young and old. They were all
painted frightfully and wore dreadful
ornaments, bright blankets and feathers,
and most Of the men had on but little
clothing. Near the middlco of this group
were piled the provisions of the feast.
meat, bread and boiled corn.
The ceremonies began with the old
chief drumming upon drum and making
shout and noise like an animal. He then
rose and walked around the girl several
times, got on his knees, and again walked
around her, knocked her from side to
side, then smoothcd her hair, gave her
something that he called medicine, then
took dish and placed it before her, kncl
down and took sip of what was in it, as
she did also. He then stood up, went
through with some mumbling over hel
head, and then began to pass the feast
first to the women and then to TIT
men.
The girl took off her gay outside robe
and it was given to her mother. Under
meath she had short blue dress, which
was taken off, and when the eating wa
concluded the poor little girl slipped on
of the tent in little plain pink calico
dress, and, with bare feet and legs, look
ing frightened and cold, went to he
own tent all alone. Then they wcr
ready for the dance.

LADIES' COLUMN.
Woman the Boss Traveller.

'1f you want proof that woman Il
more cautious than man." said drum
mer, 'just keep your eyes open while
travelling. A woman never forgets to
start for train so early that she will
have forty minutes to wait. She never
forgets to ask her husband or male escort
if her trunks are checked. She never
forgets to pause with one foot on the car
step and one hand on the hand rail to
inquire if she is on the right train, She
never forgets to ask the conductor if she
has to change cars before reaching her
destination, and if she is sure to make a
connection, and if the train stops at the
place she wants to get off. She never
loses ticket or train check, never drops
her hat out OF the window, never permits
herself to 90 to sleep within 100 miles of
her destination for fear that she may ride
by, never fails to get whole scat for
herself and another for her luggage, never
walks from one car to another unless the
train is standing still, and never gets up
from her seat to leave q train without
turning to look and see if she has forgot
ten anything. I'll bet on woman for

is for ncar-sightedness, and the Other
is a pair of gold eyeglasses which he usc'

ing with these eyeglasses. He holds
them up by the black string with which
they are fastened, and twirls then
around between his thumb and finger,
holding his elbow on the arm of tn,
seat while he looks about the Senate.
