THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 15, 18G8. ME1N AD MANNERS IN ALASKA. Mr. Frederick Wbympers, an English trarollon Las wrlltcu an Intc-resUmi bock abeut ournowly ocqnirrtl territory of Alaka, from which wo quote the following. f the Indians seen at fcitka he tpcaka as follows: "lbeae people dwell in a lor ? line of jndc liOUfes outskle the settlement. Their dwoUinn-t lire shanties on a large scale, with a smull en trance, oltcn rlroulxr iu Minpp, and u hole la the roof to let the smoke out. Tue idea ol thoso constructions must have been derived from tue ltupi-lan; tu some capes the very unusual cir cumstance, of tho sleeplnp-roomj belm? apart from tho main chamber was to be observed. The Kalotlijfl ato by no means a prepo"snsin people, and have a bad repjUtion. Tnir Ores.8 is commonly a blanket, at least In summer time: they liequently black their laces all over, and sometimes palul lliemselvo tu red, bliuk, and blue stripes and patches. They wear a pin of bone or metal stuck iu their lovver lip; this is said to denote maturity; it is at least never woru by Itac yoiiiiir. Tliey appear to be more than usually lazy natives, prob'ibly from the fact that natuie has been so kind to them: f-almon is abundant, deer and bear meat is to be hud lor the hunting, ai.d tho berries are liinumcrub'e. Their canoes it re much inferior to those of the lower coast, whlNt their skin 'baiparkts' (Uyack!') nre not equal to those of Norton Sound an J the nortliern coast. Ttielr giave-boxes, or tombs, are initrcstinp; tliey contain emiv the nslie6 of the dead. These peo ple invmiib'y burn the deceased. On one of the boxes I si a number ot Ihcim painted, lotn; trestes of human hair depending therefrom. Each, hind ri-pri tented a victim of the (happily) deceased one's ferocity. In his day he was, doubtl -fs. n;oie esteemed' than if he had never Larmerl u fly. All their trttes are much orna mented wiiii carved uiiJ painted faces and other device?." The folloiu(? description of wedding festivi ties Is lutcie&tiusc; 'The day of our arrival had been fixed for the celebration ol the two Russian weddinirj, anil a general iuvilalion was at onee sent on board. The ceremony commenced at 5 P. M. in the ol 1 C.ieek church, and was rather long and latifiulnp. The congregation s'o id: In lact there were no Beats in the church. It is the distort for the bride and bridegroom to be crowue I. In this case the brides wore elaborate herd dresses, and considerate male friendi the 'best men' otthe occw-ion held the crowns lor three quarters of au hour a few inches ubove the ladies' neads. I imagine they were rejoiced When the pairs were satisfactorily spliced; I know that we were, for wc were iu tigM uniforms, extremely gorgeon, and equally uucomlortnble. It is the latliion appuienlly when tho persons, as in this case, are iu the lower walks of life -to ;iak some moie wealthy individual to be master of the ceremonies, und it is iivirlui stood that he BtandB ail the experts ! On this occasion tho victim was M. l'lnMpr-ii", a merchant, who brines Ins vessels annually trom Hou K.ong ro Kurasclintka and the neia bborm coasts. He accepted the burden wilbmrly, and gave a very libeiat etiteilainnicnt to the wiioln town, tlit; Oiliceis o? the Vanag, ourselves, nn i the captains cf seveial email vesaeU lying tut re. bo many were invited that no oiie bouse was large cuovph lor the purpose. Tug party thcreiore. t!iided, ;md the guests occupied two bulloinps, one on either idc of the in lin btreet. The band of the Variag played out side, and messenger was kept constuutlv running between tho two houses to keeo the nierry party in cither inlormed of th nature of the toasts. i-uch routing cheers aud lioers' had never been heard before iu that Usually tkepy. half-dead town. After the fpast, we adjourned by invitation to the house of the Captaiu cf the lrt, where dancing was kept lip with great vigor till ihe small hours next irorniiig. The Prides had to dance with every one present, and it v-tn amusing to see them change ficin one geullemau 10 anoihcr: during the time occupied by one wal'z they had ten or a dozen partners Petropuulovskl had not. nearly ladies enough for the invited males, and, iu consequence, a number of very clean and Eedatc Kan cl.oidale peasant women were askc I for the occasion. Our ellorts at conversation with the latier were ludicrous and extre nely unsatislHCtoiy ; but with out It i-siau frieuds of the Vaiiag we got along capitally, aud found them splendid fellows. The lollowinglay the brides and their relations paid return couipli mintarv visits." Another social gathering is thus described: "In the village at Ueaikdileet, as in most Others of the colist, there are bull liiiys set apart for dnucc3 and gatherings of the people; at other titii s, indeed, they ars used for occupa tions requiting space, as the manufacture of faledces or snow slices. Tnese buildings may be regarded as the natives' town hall; orations are made, festivals aud ftasU are held in them, aud the passii f stranger U so 'ue times accomuio dated iu them, as in an Eastern caravanserai. I witnesseo severul of their public dances; they are constantly, indeed, held during winter, and it is suiptising to see how long and how much the older people are pleiu,:d by such very monotonous performances. Iu some of theui the aciorn imitate mid burlesque the motions of birds and quadrupeds, and of course here thete is some scope for fun, while son e of their songs aro said to have some meaning, althouuh on this point 1 cannot speak positively; the only ones I heard were the tame words repeated over and over again. To one dance we were tpeciaily invited. On arriving at the doorway we found a narrow subterraneau passage, two and h half feet liiuh, crawling through which we at last reached the room, itself partly undergro'jud, and dimly lighted by blubber lamps. The Indians who were to lake part in the dance, chiefly young men, were engaged Iu dresMnrr, and bath lie; themselves in the liquid r ot beioru mentioned. All were mule to the waist, aud wore seal, deer skin, or cotton pantaloons, with the tails ot wolves or dogs hargii g behind, and fea'hers artl cheap handkerchiefs round their he:els. The elders tat ou a bench or s'leli, running round the entire building, and looked ou ap proviigly whilst tbey crni-unoed their own smoke, iis is the manner of the Touuktehis, by swaliowuitr all lluy male, and go'.tiug partially mtoxicau muereny. lueir pipe-n jwi j were on the smallest scale, aad tin: v even diluted tlicir tobacco by mixinn willow shavings 'fine cut' with i. Meantime tho women were bnnpirg in contributions ol b rries and tish ir. large "contog',' orlwooden boK varying in shape from' a dep ilisii to mi oblong sotin tureen. Tte performance commenced by the actors ranting themselves in a square and raising toese disbe of provlsn us to the four cardinal po uts sucres-ively. and onoe to the skies wi'h a v.dclen noise like 'swish 1' or the flight ol a rocket. May-b i'. moiut au olleriug to the seu-oi and to the Oreat Spirit. Thnn came the feast; and that over, a monotonous chorus, w'th an accompaniment of gongs, was started. The gone were made of seal gut stretched on a c'rcular trame. and were struck Willi h fiV. stick. The words of the sonir commenced, 'Yung i yi, i ya, i ya'' aud continued throuahout 'Yung i ya 1' Then a boy spranu cut on the flo-n: ho wai speedily joined by a tecond, then a thir l, till a circle of twenty was formed. Now they appeared vio lentlv attracted tasether, and now as much repelled; now they were hotrltied at one anothei's rouduct, and held up their arms in warning gestures, and itiu all wero Iritnds, and made pautcmime ol their happiness. In this performance there was nearly as much done by arms and bodies as with tud feet. When there was a lull in the eutertainraent, small piescnts wen brought round to all ti.t strangers preftut; mine was a pair of boot-soles of seal skin. Po decided an odor at length pervaded the ball loom that wo one by one dropped olT frrm til" fettive fcene; the Indians kept it up for hours atterwards." A grorer in this State ingeniously tried to clean out a bombshell with a red-hot poker, lie succeeded in cleaning; himself oat most effectually. Chicago entices Rev. Mr. Eartlett, of Brooklyn, with the promise of a "wide field of usefulceeBM and $10,000 a year. An Indiana girl, driven from her home by herfatm-r, now sues him. for wages dun her lot houet hold services. Mrs. lironn on America. The Pail Matt Oaze'le notices in the follow ing stylo a book oii America by a snobbish English limn, who travels uurter tbo aliaies of (ieorge Hose, Arthur Sketchley, aud ilrt. lirowu, and who honored us with a vi-it foruo months iuo. Mr. Rote did not succeed in attracting crowded bouses by his entertainments, so he went bnck home again to wtlte his opinion that all is barien on this side of the Aliaulic: New York Is a dull place! Po snys Mr. Uose, and i o v. eras con. d In ttei'dc-sciio,.' t tic character ot his ex peril uces. To a man who kn3s New Voik it is one ot the gayest and most enjoyable cities iu tbe world; but ii his view of the place and people bo circumscribed by the prospect irom the hotel windows, it is not to be wondered at that his impressions should be gloomy. Uiur oon whisky is 'liithy." Make ittnto a "cocktail" in st time, Mr. Hose. Clams arc a "nasty look ing fish of the mussel tribe," to which we may say with Dogberry, "Why, this is tint perjury." The little neck clam" is a delicious bivalve. When Mr. Rose Is capable of abusing cluius we are not surprised to lind him insinuating that Arnciican men arc ol teu the reverse of brave. 'The pacific tailor," ho says, speaking of the army, "has sprung from his shop-board, and beating his shears into a broadsword. has rushed into the field, and it is only justice to add that many have displayed tUa better part of valor." Such is what we may, without ollense, call a cockney account of an army which so recently perlormed work the world is not likely to toriiel. The AmeriCtiu women are padded Impostures. Their figures are bad. "A clockwork arrangement to give the effect of a heaving boom is a charming device, and so are various paddings and stuffings to supply natural delects." Tneir morals, we are ltd to believe, are not much belter than their nures (pp. Cf Ou). Strange n;it may seem to Mr. ItoscUia Americans respect their women, and think them quite as beautiful and virtuous ns the women of any other nation. 13ut when Englishmen think differently they say so with true English pluck and indepen dence, and Ameiicans dearly love thera for it. Ate we not "one people," speaking a common tongue, and loving each other almost to distrac tion t We have at any rate beeu told so pretty o.tn of late, but not by the American people. Let us now take a glance at the American lady as she appeurs eating eggs at breakfast. It maybe mentioned first that she uses rouge and white paint (a custom quite unknown in Englaud), and has an inordinate love of bends nnd leathers, in which she resembles the Indians. She ulso cleans her nai's with a penknife while sitting at the table, licholdher at the eggs: "Khe then rrocperted to eat thera: but apparently did noi iiku ttio nlilie, fur she Hpiit it into her phttn, from which she subutipieutly eai Imui mid eKs, and BaiiaBKPs. liver and btteor1, tried potatoes, anU ollior Utlkucles, tlnlKhliit? up with cakes and molasses; all of winch she washed don Willi colieo and several t'imblers of milk. Into wblcli lumps ol ice are put, wn Ich render II very greeule." Is it any wonder tho Americans love ua 60 much, wheu we draw these charming pictures cf American ladies, and leave people to inter that one woman is a type ot her sex? "There is no community of (eelintr between un English man aud American," saysJMr. Uose. Not much in this case, certainly. The tiermans in New York, he turtiicr tells m, are "Usually Hebrews" a siatemc-nt, we are sorry to say, of amazing ignorance, lie speaks of Canada throughout his book as the. "old domiii'jti," serenely uu cr nscious of tho iact that the title belougs to Virginia, aud Unit Canada has onlyjust been made into a "dominion" of a totally different kind, lie thinks funerals in America indecent, nnd would himscli preserve a "happy medium." What oh earth is a happy medium in a funeral? All the relinemcnt of the country is limited to the Sunlhein States, nnd since the secesslou "the rower in Congress has fallen into the hands of persous of an inferior class." Mr. I!ose goes on: "We know tout the Seuate has been the scene of personal violpnce, wheu a dignified member gave one ot his peers a severe caning." Mr. tto-e omits to state that tho cir cumstance ho quotes tends to disprove his asBiition about ine altered tone of C junress thut the incident occulted before the South quitted Congress, and that the outrage was cemniitted by a Southern member. The Presi dent never speaks but when he is intoxicated poor "Andy Johnson !" Never was a man move shamefully slandered, whatever his laulls as a politician may have been, ticorge Washington was no gcueial, and was prosy at the council board, but he ''proclaimed that 'all men are bom free and eajuul.' " lie never pro claimed auythiug of the kind. Mr. Hone evi dcutly has some vague echo or the De claration of Independence beating about his brain. Mr. Thornton is much to be pitied lor being doomed to live in such a soeiety as that cf Washington. One political reflection struck Mr. Kosc with great torce, namely, that it was singular a people so ready to auuul the marriage tie should object to the separation between Noun and South. So the book runs on. Wc have quoted enough of it. Unless the w hole thing is intended as a joke, we can ouly say that Mr. Rose has furnished us with a sorry ciitertatnnicnt. We have written for the moat part under the assumption that the author is plajing his professional part of the luuny man. Hut ho may mean it all eeiiously. One can never tell what thete comic people aie really at. It he is in jest, may time mend his wit; aud if he is in earnest, may it give him a better uudcr Mai ding. FINANCIAL. LEGAL NOTICES.
