Indians and Their Signals.
Lsslis's JyeeI,Ju-

The Chippewas are great sugar peo-
pie, who do not pass the pipe, have no
sun-dance, and excel in making canoes.
The Sioux call them the fast-running-
water people" The Chippewas or Glib
ways get their name from the peculiar
laclng OF their moe caSinS. a list of the
authentic signs in use between the vari-
Gus tribes would fill many boOks-that is
TO say, all American Indians have a uni
versal sign-language without regard TO
tribal dialects
Long distance signals are sent with
lightning like Tapidity, and messages 20
between distant points quicker than ordi-
nary telegraph messages with the mes
senger-boy attachment. The special war
signals are in six divisions-the pony, the
blanket. the mirror, smoke fire arrows,
flint and steel, and we might add draw
ingS and sketches. On a distant bluff a
pony and rider begin to run around in a
small circle or ring, racing for dear life.
AS if by magic, tho plain becomes alive
with red mon, who seem to come out 81
the ground with the commotion of an army
of ants; the signal-man holds up his
blanket by each corner, meaning atten-
ton; then wig -wagging his blanket he
says, The enemy is discovered ! ,00t
S strong" At last he holds up his blanket
rs a sign for the warriors TO disperse, and
they at once melt into the earth like fall
ing snow in lake.
Another sigma Imam, on n distant hill
overlooking the village, flashes the news
with small mirror to the old men, wal
women and wives, not forgetting, however
TO fash it on the tepee Of his sweetheart
who suddenly finds it imperative to go TO

OF that mad but heroic charge hun
dred incidents are preserved-thrilling,
humorous, shocking. A man of the 18th
Lancers, for example, was heard to shout,
quotation from .Shakspere, who is
there here would ask more men from
England ?" The regimental butcher OF
the 18th Lancers was engaged in killing
sheep when he heard the trumpets sound
Tor the charge. He leaped on a horse; in
shirt sleeves, with bare arms and pipe in
mouth, he rode through the whole charge,
slew, it is said, six men with his own
hand, and came back again, pipe still in
mouth private of the 18th was under
arrest for drunkenness when the charge be-
gan; but he broke out, followed his troop
on a spare horse, picked up sword as he
rode and shared in the rapture and perils
of the charge. The charge lasted 20 min
utes, and was ever before such daring or
such suffering packed into a space so
brief

adventurous inclinations in the ranks oi
