A SUNKEN LIKE.
One ! Ih Nnturnl Wadr f the Thunder
liny Krlon.
We extract the following from Trof. N. II.
Winchell's recent report oa the Thunder I3ay
region:
Sunken Lake, in Sec. ,".2, T. 3.1, N. II. f E,
is a remarkable example of the effect of sub
terranean erosion. I have before described
the lake in fall. Suffice it to Bay that the
Korth Hranch of Thunder Day River disap-
Iears entirely in time of low water beneath a
edge of Hamilton limestone. But is time of
high water, the mouth of the subterranean
char eel will not admit the raised volume f
watt r, and after filling the basin of a little
l ike, which is nearly a mile in length, it
passes oveiland through the channel repre
sented as its bed on the maps. During half
the j ear. however, this channel is one day
eonth of the lake.
During a recent trip up the Lake Huron
shore, north of Thunder Day, it was one of
my objects to examine the reported outlet of
this river into Lake Huron. On the south
side, end near the head of the deep, crooked
Imyon, tributary to Little Thunder Day on
the north, is a remarkably deep hole in the
0 nervine shallow bed of the bay. The en
trance of this long arm of Little Thunder
Boy is disguised by a long, low island which
hangs across it. Any one in coasting would
be apt to miss it, as I did at first, unless he
followed carefully the same indentures of the
const. Having entered the bayou, I directed
my man to follow the right bank, or north
ide, and to return on the south side. Having
entered the bay, wo began to coast outward
along the south shore. We had left the head
of the bayou, perhaps l.'.o rods, when there
was a 6udJen increase in the depth of the
water. The weeds which had covered the
bottom entirely disappeared within a space
no more than the length of the boat, and the
water was as blaok as at any place in the
open lake.
The motion the boat had attained carried
ns over the chasm, and my pocket ther
mometer told us tho temperature of the water
was C7 deg. Fahrenheit. As that was the
si me as the temperature of the shoal water of
the bayou, observed a few minutes before,
1 was disappointed, for I had expected to de
tect the presence of river water, if it were
the outlet of Sunken Lake, by the difference
of temperature between the lake water and
that of the water rising from the opening.
Tushing the boat astern, we followed the rim
of the basin around towards the right, and
found the descent very abrupt in all places.
The shoul water -was tilled with weed, which
are common in inland lakes and slow and
ilowing streams, and they were 6een to cover
the brink and follow down the steep side as
far as the eye could distinguish. When the
boat renchtd the east side of the opening, tho
weeds weie seen to rapidly diminish, and they
soon entirely disappeared. The brink here
was very steep, almost perpendicular, and
consisted of sand, with a considerable number
of fractured shells.
Our boat stopped upon the brink at this
place, and upon proceeding to make another
observation on the temperature of the water,
what was our surprise to find that we were
slowly drifting away from the opening. It
was fuither observed that wo were in motion
against thfe breeze which was passing up the
baj ou. I was again surprised to find that the
teuipirf tme of the water was C5 degrees
Fahrenheit. This observation was made por
hfips ten foot to the east of the opening, and
as we were drifting, allowing the boat to
continue in motion, the tempera ure at thirty
feet from the opening was C degrees Fahren
heit, 'lhe depth of the water at the place of
these Inst observations was not more than
eighteen or twenty inches, and the bottom
was one of clean sand with frequent hells
common on the lake beach near the mouth of
livers, but no weeds. lietnrning to the
opening and following tho line of shoal
water in th same direction, we found that
the weeds soon becaine as abundant as on the
other side of the current. The current
-ceased soon after we passed the most east
ward or lakeward side.
The opening is six or eight rods across,
and ccaily circular, and is nearest the south
side of the bayou, about twelve rods from
the shore. . As one passes over the brink and
loses sight of the weeds as they descend so
quickly down the subaqueous brink, a feeling
of terror comes over the beholder, a3 if he
was about to be precipitated into an awful
chasm. Fishermen report that a lead has
keen lowered 300 feet into its opening with
out a bottom. I suppose the temperature of
the water over the opening is higher than
that of the current just east, because of the
influx of the heated bayou water, and that
the real liver water is found just over the
randy part of the brink, and a little further
east. It was not until I left the place that I
remembered that the temperature of the
Thunder Day river at Alpena, at two differ
ent observations, was f5 deg. Fahrenheit.
In winter this is always free from ice, and
ducks frequent the place. I have no doubt
bet this is the real outlet of the north branch
of Thunder Bay river, which disappears in
the bed of Sunken lake.
A SIOUX SUN DANCE.
How Our Ked Brethren Amuse TbeiHarlrrs
A correspondent of the St. Louis liepubli
ctm, writing from Fort Laramie, says of the
Sioux sun dance: This festive performance,
as practiced among the Sioux, is regarded by
the whites with feelings of horror, and few
have the nerve to become spectators of the
cruelties which are undergone by the
deluded victims. It is a sort of religious
lance, in which the young braves test
their fortitude and stoicism in resisting pain
without wincing. A young officer who wit
nessed the sun dance a few days since
at tha agency, seven miles above Fort Sully,
on the Missouri river, gives the following ac
count: The Indians manifested considerable
opposition to having the whites present.!
u hen several otneers belonging to the 1 1 th
united Mates Infantry came up, Ked Le tf
leaped over a breastwork of logs and ordered
the troops away. After parleying with the
chief some time the soldiers fell back and
took a position which was not objectionable
to the Indians, but whence they would obtiin
enly a partial view of the performances
There was a large lodge built in shape of an
amphitheatre, with a pole in the centre. Tha
sides and roof were covered with willows,
forming a tolerable screen, but not so as to
obstruct entirely the view. The perform
ences were commenced with chants and
incantations. Five young men were
brought in and partially stripped, their
mothers being present and assisting in the
ceremony. Then tne medicine man began
his part by cutting slits in the flesh of the
young men and taking up the muscles with
pincers. The old squaws assisted in lacerating
the flesh of the boys with knives. The
pquaws would at the same time keep up a
howling, accompanied with a movement". to or
fro. When the muscles were lifted out by
the pincers on the breast, one end of a sort
of lariat or buffalo thong was tied to the
bleeding flesh, while the other end was tied
to the top of the pole In the centre of the
lodge. The first young man, when thus pre
pared, commenced dancing around the circle
in a frantio manner, pulling withall his weight,
so as to stretch out the rope, and by his jerk
ing movements loosen himself by tearing
out the flesh. The young man's dance
was accompanied by a chant by those who
were standing round, assisted by the thump
ing of a hideous form to keep time. The
yonrg brave who was undergoing this self
toiture finally succeeded in tearing himself
loope, and the rope relaxed from its sudden
tightness and fell back towards the centre
pole with a piece of the flesh to which it was
tied. The victim, who up to this point did
cot move a muscle of his face, fell down on
the ground, exhausted from the pain which
human weakness could no further conceal. A
squaw then rushed in and bore the young
brave away. He had undergone the terrible
ordeal, and amid the congratulations of the
old men would be complimented as a war
rior of undoubted pluck and acknowledged
prowess.
Another of the young men, named Charles,
was cut in two places under each shoulder
blade, the flesh was raised with pincers, and
thongs tied around the flesh and muscles
thus raised. The thongs reached down below
the knees, and were tied to buffalo skulls.
With these heavy weights dangling at the
ends of the thongs, the young man
was required to dance around the
circle, to the sound of the drum and
chants of the bystanders, until the skulls
became detached by tearing out the
flesh. They continued the perform
ance until one of tke skulls broko loose,
but the other remained. The mother of the
young man then rushed into the ring, lead
ing a pony, and tied one end of the lariat
which was around the pony's neck to the
skull, which was still fastened to the young
man. The latter then followed the pony round
the ring until, nearly exhausted, he fell on
his face, and the skull was thereby torn out
of the flesh. The sufferer's voice grew husky
from joining in the chant; he grovelled on
the ground in violent contortions for a few
minutes, and was then removed to the out
side of the lodge.
A third man had the lariat of the pony
hitched to the raised muscle of his back, and
was dragged in this way several times round
the ring, but the force not being sufficient to
tear loose from the flesh, the pony was
backed up, and, a slack being thus taken on
the lariat, the pony was urged swiftly for
ward, and the sudden jerk tore the lariat out
of the flesh. My informant having seen
enough of these horrid performances to satisfy
his curiosity, left with his companions, "with
out waiting to flee the dance through." The
dance, with its bloody orgies, lasted three
days. The sun dance is not now as frequently
practiced as in former days, and the cere
mony will become extinct only under the
reservation system.
THE SLEEPING BEAUTY.
Report of the JMtedlcnl Society Its Conclusions
ueniea.
The St. Lcuis Repuhlican of the 17th lnsL says: .
The report of the committee of the Medical So.
clety of the case of the so-called sleeping beauty.
Susan C. Godsey, promises to lead to soma Interest
ing results. The parties who have charge of the
gin are mgniy indignant at tne case being pro
nounced a humbug, and deny utterly the couclu
slons ol the doctors ; tney assert that the symptoms,
with occasional variations, do occur In the order
before described, and that tney are willing to put
np money on theresult of any fair test. The com.
nilttee's report Is not quite satisfactory, as it ad
vances no proof that the continued apparent
somnolence of the girl is purely feigned ; but, apart
from the case itself, the conduct of parties having
charge of the patient Indicates that their Interest is
more pecuniary than scientific. They have ob
jected to any medical treatment looking towards
the restoration of the girl, and during the fair they
circulated handbills announcing a prodigy on exhi
bition for the groan fei of tlfty cents. Tie following
extract from one of these bills haa a rather suspl-ti"-u8
ring about It:
"Miss Susan C. Oodsey, known as the sleeping
beamy of Obion county, Tennessee, was born Sep
tember 13, lt-4 1 , and fell asleep August 1, 1313, loiug
a liUle over eight years old. She lias slept perpetu
ally over twenty-one years, never having been
awake over eight minutes at one time In that long
series of years. She has been vistted at her home
by the scientlitc men of Europe and Americi, who
have invariably pronounced her the greatest wonder
or this or any ether are. She U totally oblivious to
the woild while sleeping, no posslole noise or
toiture making any impression on her.
nor Is any breathing perceptible, ex
cept during the few minutes she Is
awake to life, when she Is perfectly ratlona1. The
luedlcnl men w ho have seen her h"we, with one
accord, pronounced her the most wonderful patho
logical prodigy known to the annals of the proles
Eton. In that profound sleep, which she describes
as 'going away on to herself,' she has grown to
symmetrical womanhood, utterly unconscious of
Hny of the evils of Hie, never having been awake
lopg enough to commit one solitary slu. In her
beautiful, placid features we come nearer looking
upon an incarnate angel than in any oher object ou
earth,"
The majority of the people will, doubtless, concur
In the report of the Medical Society, and those who
are doubtful will probably agree In thinking that the
carrying about the country lor exhibition of a weak,
half stupefied girl, has as little propriety as human
ity. The object of bringing the case before the Me
dical Society was, It is bald, to get a certificate from
that body us to the character of the case, and as all
hope of that Is now at an end, the sleeping beauty will
probably ere long disappear from St. Louia
