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

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.
