and greasy appearance. They were
dressed in calico shirt waists; that is,
their garments might be called such
now-so far as visible. and the bal
ance Of their bodies, in each case,
was enyelOped in a red blanket
drawn close about them. There was
a fire in the middle of the wigwam,
over which, and suspended by some
kind of crane. was "a large pot in
which the dinner for the grandees of
the our was cooking. | saw enough
of the boiling mass to learn that it

know who was cooking, or what was
being cooked.
1t was early in the forenoon and
therefore, our party not being par
ticularly anxious for something to
eat, did not wait to be asked to
dine with the chief ruler of the dusky
nation, but put in the time we had
to spare in looking about the village,
which was located on a ridge of land
south of the falls and probably about
a quarter of a mile in length.
The ~wigge-ups, and the people were
much like those in the castle OF the
chief, dirty, greasy and repulsive, but
with all that, there was not a single
sick Indian in the village, which
probably accounted for the absence
of a drug store, though they had a

paid five per cent per annum in

to obtain the actual necessaries of

not a necessity, was nevertheless in
great demand. The Sacs had about

trade was good for at least ten thous-

is, that it is remarkable that two men
who have had intelligence sufficient to
amass, fortune should be SO simple as
to bite at SO old a bait as the gold brick
scheme. %.'. ~
AL of which is very true. These men
were fools and they are willing to
acknowledge it.
Every body is entitled to laugh at them
and call it foolish-that is all who have
never bought a gold brick themselves.
We are perfectly willing for our own
part to acknowledge that it is up to 9TH
er people to laugh, We have bought a
number of gold bricks in our lifetime
and possibly may buy more. -
There are many sorts of gold bricks
which may be purchased in social, busi-
ness and political life-and they find
purchasers plenty.
The girl that msrries man addicted
to drink buys brick that isn't even
gilded. He who takes pay for hard lab.
or in compaign an politicians promises
gets pure brass. He who ploks pretty
face for home maker, way find that
the face will fade, with no'other compen.

have no use and is practically worth
less t. us, just because some smooth
tongued salesman or agent persuades us
In fact most of us better not say tor
