INDIAN LITZ BY CAPT. JOHN B. FORD The chief, of a band of Comanches usually makes a talk to his people very' early in the morning, imparting the news, and discussing its purport, this is succeeded by his orders When a change of camp is contemplated, the women gather the animali, saddle and pack them The lodges are taken down, and placed on sni• male The men and women ride after the same fashion. - Very young ohi)dren are on horseback, at an age they would nottbe suffered to manage a horse, with us, in an inoloeure. The point of destination is known to *ll. The families leave u they get reedy, except on some extraordinary occasion, - or when danger is apprehended. Is say event, they have a number of warriors cm look-outs on every ante. It is almost impossible to-approach a Comanche (lamp without being die eovereil When moving with their women and children, a party of Comanches exhibit scenes of live liness, the women talking, laughing and running pack animals to keep them in place—ohildren with bows and arrows in hand, beating thiokets for small game, shooting snakes, running hither 'bolter in every direction--mules going at half speed over rocky places, with long lodge poles trailing on either side, malting a noise loader than so many empty wagons—young warriors, with gaudy trappings, frollicking and sibling-- when all these things are jumbled together into a discordant mass, then it is really exciting to be traveling with,the red children of the fore. sometimes a staMpede occurs, to give additional variety to the scene. On such an ooession, - thi dogs of the celebrated chief, Buffalo Hump, ft called 'upon to slo something; they gave chase to the running ihotses. Buffalo Hump became furious—with 'strung bow and ready arrows he followpd-the dogs. The race was over an un dulating prairie kind of country, and lasted some mile or so. The enraged Indian shot his dogs and stepped his horses. The cunning of the animal eluded the impending harm. The old chief, with all hie subtlety, was a long timefoil. ed by his canine companions. The scenery— the stanapede=the chase—the maddered Indian, made a panorama worth seeing, but hardly pay. ing_for the trouble of reading. A'ihalt being made, the women arrange every thing—take care of the horses, set up the lodges, pack the wood and water, and cook . The warriors lounge about, gather in groups, and * over matters and things in general. in things they cannot properly oomprehen&and ac count for, in some way, they possess considerable incredulity. They deny the tales they hear of the speed of a railway locomotive When some of them were informed a steam car could run from the Colorado to Chihuahua, in Mexico, in lees than a day, they declared it impossible—"a horse nould not run that far in a day." They have a game which may be called "Nuns the bullet." The players sit down in a circle--sing a curious kind of song, one takes a bullet, changes it from band to hand, throwing his arms in every possible direction. When he thinks his manipulations have sufficiently mysti fied the man appointed for that purpose, he holds out both 'hands, and lets him guess in which the bullet is Every guess counts on one side or the other. The number constituting the game, is, we believe, a matter of agreement; the tallies are kept with arrows. In this way a great many articles change hands. There is one garment, and one only, an Indian never parts with. It stands betwixt him and nudity. `' -. -They play a game with painted sticks, counted by the way they fail; so many sticks or spots falling in a certain way counting so much We never could understand the game. While this going forward the women get a restin spell. They are talkative, great laugh. era, an seem to enjoy a bit of scandal with as much gusto as their more civilised neighbors.— One of their peculiar amusements would not be much relished in circles pail*. A Comanche woman never seems more happy than when "verminising." The lucklias little animals are devoured by those upon whom tbey had feasted; they get the full benefit of the lex tatiortie. The children are roaming about examining every thicket and every hole, bathing, shooting arrows, and making all those interesting noises incidental to promising juvenility. The Camanohes formerly owned large droves of horses. They have thinned them greatly 'titbit) the last few years, by being compelled to kill them for food. Being shut out from the mustang range, between the Nueoes and the Rio Grande was the cause. Horse meat with them is preferred to any other. The neck, immediate ly beneath the mane, is considered a rare delicacy. The meat has a coarse fibre, is glutinous, smells badly, has a peculiar sweetish taste, which re mains in the mouth for nearly a day. We net , - , ar liked it., not even when starving for want of food. The liver does a little better. Never commit the indisoretion of applying a piece to ' your nose. A sudden rebellion of the stonistki often, folfows such an sot of imprudence. Mule meat resembles beef in flavor. A fat mule makes very palatable eating. Young fawns are fine.— Terrapins, rattle-snakes, prairie dogs, and pole eats are very good. The Idescalero Indians take their names from the mescal plant. It belongs to the order of plants uenally called "bear grass," has a white bead like a cabbage, is cooked by digging a hole in the ground, building a fire in it, removing the coals and ashes, and lining the bottom and fides with prickly pear leaves, deprived of horns o by burning, putting in the mescal, covering with cactus and building a fire upon the same, which must edible part is soft, and tastes a little like an Irish potatoe. It is covered by a thin fibroni substance. When on an expedition between th e Pecos and Ris Grande, the Comanches use this and t species of ioaguey. The latter is cooked by merely routing. It has an unpleasant taste. These plants will grow upon sterile uplands. A Comanche will eat liver, young fawns, and many other things, while raw. In Shanoo's camp, we saw an old rascal who offered to bet he could eat anything. For a plug of tobacco be proposed making a breakfast upon a substance banished the furthest possible distance from our tables.— He was the nastiest looking thing in human shape we ever saw. The Comanches live, as our, phrase is, "from hand to month." They have little providence. Whcn provisions are plenty, they (*mune elm. - moos Vantities. Tbey do not bear the pangs of /inner with the stools' resignation one would suppose. In this particular, as in dmost every other, the Delawares are infinitely superior to them. The 6omanches have a religion; they practice "incantations, and believe in removing disease by charms sod incantations. The Comanche enjoys a modicum of real leasure. His roving, devil .rnal-cue kind of fife baa attractions even to the white man. Now Durumlow.—The sword—the first hope of the oppressor sod the lut hope of the oppres sed. ISIPORTAINT NiYriciL.
