INDIAN DIClPllNE.
Red Men Are Possessed of Much Natu.
raj Politeness.

No people are possessed of a greater
share of natural politeness than the
Indians. wrote Isaac Weld in 1879;
they will never interrupt while another
is speaking. nor, if one has told them
anything which they think to be false,
will they bluntly contradict him. They
deem it highly becoming in warrior
to accommodate his manners to those
of the people with whom he may hap
pen to be- The following anecdote is
told by Mr.. Weld in How Our Grand
fathers Lived:
Our friend Nekig The Little Otter.
had been invited to dine with us at
the house of gentleman at Detroit,
and he came accordingly. accompanied
by his little SON. boy of nine or ten
years.
After dinner a variety of fruits was
served. and among the rest We're some
peaches. dish of which was handed
to the young Indian.
He helped himself to one with be-
coming propripty; but Immediately af
terwnrd he put the fruit to his mouth
and bit a piece out of it.
The father eyed him with indigna
ton, and spoke some words to him in
a low voice. which | could not Under
stand. but which. on being interpreted
by one of the company. proved TO be a
warm reprimand for his having been
50 deficient in observation rs not to
peel his peach. as he saw the gentle
man opposite him had done.
The little fellow was extremely
ashamed Of himself: but he quickly
retrieved his error by drawing a plate
toward him and peeling the fruit with
the greatest nentness.
Some drink TO which he was after
ward helped. not being by any means
agreea BILE to his palate. the little fellow
made wry face. as a child might nat
urally do. This called forth another
reprimand from the father, who told
him that he despaired Of ever seeing
him n great man or good warrior II
he appeared thus to dislike what his
host had kindly given him. The boy
took the rest OF his drink with seem
ing pleasure.
