sons got married, and the chief asked mo and a friend of mine to his house.Not having had the honor of attending a wedding among the aborigines before I ac- copted the invitation.My friond and 1 having arrived at the domicile of said ohief (à log ono, about 20x24) we did net present our cards of invitation, but, sans ceromonie, lified tho latch and crowded into the interior, which was pretty woll filled and mostly in a horizontal position, which poai- tion we woro allowed to maintain while thero.As they wore about to have bresie \u201c| test (then between 10 and 11 a.m.) a table wns Bot with soup plates, and on the floor, beside a stove, stood a large brass kettle filled with a light colored mushy-looking substance, consisting, as I understood, of corn boiled to the consistency of starch when mado up for use, and meat.A squaw, provided with a tin dipper, transferred n portion of the stuff into a tin pail, which she carried in her hand, and poured from thenco into the plates on the table, taking care to have a pioce of meat in cach plate.Another squaw was cutting up pics.They might have beon like a singed cat, \u201cbetter than they looked,\u201d but ae my stomach has turned against hard work I would rathor uot put any of them into it, as it might have refused to manipulato and loft me in a sorry plight.It was expected by the host that we would dine with them, but we excuse our- welven {rom partaking of the feast on account of having previously broken our fast and could not partake of two breakfasts in one day, ko wo left before tho onslaught on the viands, and thorelore cannot say whether justico was done to them or not, but from appearances, and at that lato hour (an they have to get married on an empty stomach) 1 have no reason to doubt but full justico was done.Their festivition last some three days and nights, and consist of feasting and dancing, and 1 think the plan of getting up their feasts in a good one, nu those immediately interested are not at too much ox- pense, for the friends of the bride and groom ull contribute towards it, bringing in the entables.\u2018The friends also give presents to the bride, consisting principally of dry goods, such as drosees, shawls, ote., which they carry to the house whore thev are congregated on à polo and hang up around the house for inspection.Sometimes the bride gots two or threo polos of proscots.They may not bo so costly as the prosents given romalimes to white brides, but they are n good many more than somo brides I know of among tho whites in this section get or got.The groom and brido scarcely over speak to one another during the time that the por- formances lasts, and they commonly keop it up nw long as they have the means to do no.Wedding fenats are going out of fashion among us whiten now-a-days, and instead of giving friends a few hours\u2019 enjoyment they pack up and leave them to have the trouble of going to a neighbor's house Lo discasa the match and\u2014\u201cHlave another cap?ol\u201d In the evening my friond aud 1 visited thd house of rejoicing once more, when the crowd was as denso as ever, but we were treated with more courteny, for we were the Indian musician, who was industriously at work scraping away ut a violin, making music for those who were tripping the fantastic tno and heel, for thero is most always hideou:! noise with the Lecls of his boots on the floor.The dance was something like an sight-reel, hut danced by six couples.Next rane 4 jig by 8 young Indian and an elderly squaw, us the y \"UNE KquaWs, like unto our young ladios, thin\u2019 it valgar to Jove thoir feat a little when thy fry to dance.The jig wan well danced, ad when the two firs had danced a while another couple \u201ccut them out,\u201d and so on until the fiddler is tired out.called by one of the dancers, hut, like a good many of our white callers, he paid very little heed to time, but called away as if the music was a secondary consideration.I would just as soon dance without it.The Indian goes and asks a squaw to dance with him, and thon he takes his place on the floor, and when the dance is filled and all things in readiness the manager gave a whistle, when the squaws glided into their places and the dance commenced, and when it terminates they glide away as un- ceremoniousiy, each one going their own course.The ball-room etiquette among them would, I have no doubt, be admired by many of our fast youths whom I have seen in a ball room with the ladies, as they do not remove their bats, And, if the weather is cool, keep on overouats and all.Smok- {ing and chewing tobacco is not considered out of the way, but freely indalged in to the purification of the atmosphere, I bad the honor of shaking hands with the groom, but the bride wasn't visible neither time | was there, ao L did not have a chance of imprinting a \u2014\u2014 on her lips, neither can Lgive you a description of her troussean, but her presents were hang up on the canopies of the two beds that stood in the western corners of the house, and were quite à display of dry goods.As was not in dancing trim, and not being much acquainted with the fair sex, our stay was but short,and wo left them to their enjoyment, and wended our way to a place of rest.The Indians of St.Regis are commonly quiet and peaceable, except when in liquor, and then they are very noisy and unruly, and it is a wonder that there is not more conducted to seats by the manager next to They next danced a cotillion, | damage dove by them when under its influ- tea Pr ence.On the night I was thero a drunken Indian went into the store of a white man and threatoned to cut him with his knife, and made towards him, when tho white man struck him ovor the head with an iron rod, wbich stoppod bis career for the time.!
