EFFECTIVE MATCHMAKING.
Simple and Direct Method Employed by
the Nes Perces Indians.

tne NeS EoECes inulan5.
An old custom was revived by the
Nez Perces Indians and their visitors
during the celebration on the last
Fourth of July, says the Morning Ore
gonian. The natives Of the local tribe
are very wealthy people, and there are
designing mothers among the aborig-
ines as well as in the different classes
of civilized society. The young bucks
of the Nez Perces tribe ere regarded
somewhat like the scions of royalty in
matrimonial circles. The maidens from
all visiting tribes were brought to Lap
wal to find husbands. The customs of
the tribes. which were revived for the
occasion, were more effective than the
Boston mans way
The marriageable mnidens were by
common accord quartercd in q selected
spot in the valley of the I.npwai. Atan
appointed hour the young men who
wanted wives to share their annuities,
their homestcads and the affections of
their hearts appeared in procession on
the hnllowed camp ground. The hour
was midnight, and the scene was in a
grove of trees made fragrant BY the
wild flowers, and every heart danced to
the music of the rippling waters. The
young men marched forth. and none
but candidates for matrimony ioined
the march. They were dressed in their
brightest coiors, and each carried n
white willow cane. AS they approached
the tents they chanted an Indian chorus
that was as doleful as the song of the
owl, and kept time by beating upon the
tents with their canes. The drumming
was deafening to the distant spectator
and must have been distracting to the
waiting maidens in the tents. AT last
the singing and the drumming had the
desired effect.
The maidens came forth, after n delay
just long enough to satisfy that uni
versal passion of the mind of wom-
an to drive lover mad with doubt.
There were more men than maidens.
The former kept up the march and the
music without. The maidens counter
marched on the line of the same circle.
each selecting u husband from the line.
The chosen ones hastened to follow
TIER brides away into the darkness.
Ihe unfortunate suffers were left TO de-
spair.
