We congratulate the young ladies
of the ID. 5. Dis. in the skill and abil-
ity manifested in their society III the
mast year. We learn that its field OF
usefulness is TO be extended as an cd
ucati0nal factor. Its new president,
Miss Laura Person, requested that
each member should consider during
the week following what line Of liter
airy work should be adopted. AT their
next meeting, when the subject was
called, a wide range OF topics were
suggested. Some of those mentioned
were general history, rhetori: and its
application, the Chatauqua course,
one OF the natural sciences, the study
of a special poem, an1 Emmerson's
essays, While all these themes are
mcriiorious and deserve the applause
of an intelligent community, it is a
fact worthy of special comment that
they selected Emmerson. In his essays
they will find the purcst English, the
most striking aphorisms, and the
brightest philosophy. On every page
they may find true poetry from allu-
sions that will ever ireshen their
knawlcdgc in general history and gem
cral literature, and rich insight into
mind and nature. No one can ever
read, Understandings, page of that
noted author without improving their
intellect BY expanding their powers OF
comprehension. May other persons
and associations copy after these
young ladies' example. *

Especial 1sleta IN. Mex, Letter.


During the first week in September,
owing to the condition of the moon,
the Pueblo Indians celebrate their har-
vest, or ''green corn dance"-in the
Pueblo polysyllabic vernacular you-peI
lah.
On this extraordinary occasion the
Pueblo village of Tsleta is even more
crowded than on other feast, or fete days,
because this ancient ''heathen" wor-
ship of the harvest God" is the most
interesting of all and never fails to
draw 81 "full village" Mexicans and half
breeds from the settlements for miles
around flock in to witness this strange
and peculiar rite which their ancestors,
the Spaniards, could not suppress, even
though they succeeded in supplanting
the Aztec religion with Catholicism.
Among the first villages to fall was
this village, Isleta, and at once the
Spanish invaders began to suppress the
"heathen rites" of the Pueblos. The
heathen dance of cachina was at once
suppressed under severe penalties.
This dance, supposed to be rather i'm.
moral, was always celebrated in the
council chamber" an underground
place of worship situated Immediately
beneath the cstufa, or village head.
quarters No one was permitted to
participate in or witness this weird
dance unless they were orthodox mem.
bers of their so-called church, and ad.
mittance was gained only by secret
signs known to the trusted few.
In this underground cavern, or dun.
geon, councils of war were held, and
when the braves achieved a victory it
was celebrated with dance, which
lasted several days. Women were not
permitted in this room, as the utmost
secresy was enjoined The suppression
of this dance by the conquering Span
iards finally led to the rebellion in the
latter part of the seventeenth century.
For about fifteen years these ancient
Pueblos, with semi-barbarous civiliza-
ton, fought for their heather rites.

altars.
But, finally, another conquering ex-
pedition was sent out from Spain, and
the rebellious Indians were reduced to
state Of slavery, dependence and in
dolence, from which they have never
recovered. Again the village of Isleta
was attacked and captured, those who
were not killed were sold into slavery,
and all were baptized in the ''new
religion"-the Catholic. At every vii
lagc the Mgleaders of the rebellion
were shot in the plaza-the usual
method and place of execution by tie
Spaniards. The crumbled walls. of
many buildings in Isleta, once occupied,
show the effects of the numerous sieges
it sustained, it's demolition by success
sive conquerors and the ravages of time
For many years the green corn" dance
was not celebrated, for, instead of cul-
tivating the fields as in the days of
their freedom, the captives were now
compelled by their Spanish masters to
work in the many mines that We're
opened by these prospectors in search
OF fortunes rather than the object Of
ennobling and civilizing the unlettered
Pueblos.
But the power of Spain, whose
grandeur overshadowed the world" was
fast waning, and the Pueblos regained
their liberty and possessions, and the
mines, which they were compelled to
work while slaves, were filed with
earth and rock, and damaged to every
possible extent, in revenge for the
wrongs their people had suffered. While
their religion has been mainly substi-
tuted by that of the Catholic, they
were permitted to retain certain rites,
among them the gou-pel-lah, or ''green
corn" dance. But the cachSna, the prin-
,ipal cause of the rebellion Of 1880, was
religiously and strictly prohibited, and
has never been revived. It was cele-
orated at certain seasons Of the year,

until their savage enthusiasm cooled or
all were exhausted.

When arrived in the vicinity of our

signs of the desolation that had been
wrought by the scourge. The church
villages, at other times SO musical morn
ing, noon and night, were dumb and si-
lent as the grave itself. The wheat in
the fields had ripened. The golden grain
had fallen to the earth and sprouted
