now. Th3 Capitol is alwaysdeeorte I, untidy,
and uninteresting at this time of the year,
and the fact that Con gross to still protending
to tit, has not heliied to enliven the monot
ony. Th Indians, however, afford a novo!
and picturesque feature of Capitol life.
Indians often come to Wahlnpton, fwsh
from the plains, to talk with the Orrat Fath
ers about virlous matters affecting their re
lations to the Government and the light of
a feathered and painted red mm In Tennsyl
ylvnnla avenue is not an unusual thing, Dut
th men who are here now are such fine
peclmm of the genuine scalping, blood
loving, untutored ttvaje of the West, that
they receive more than ordinary attention,
Tby are typical Amerlca t Indians, evory
one of them. Thiy range In yean from the
young buck with clear eye, erect carriage
and rprlngy atep, to the weather-beaten,
gray-haired, clear-eyed, knock-kneed old
scalper whose ugly face is sullen and discon
tonted, and in wboso mind is running th
memory of the pale fares he has scaled and
the soldiers whose hearts be bat cut out and
foil to the dogs.
Having no buslne.w on hand the other day,
the dusky citiims did the town in truo tour

one portion stood at thn foot of tho shaft an
gntM with awo nt their comrades ns they
lowly went up in the damp and darkne-a,
Then they went ou'sido and dnitcvd about the
monument and sot up a doafoning Jabber, as
they tried to make the tutu "uji in the clouds'
hear them.

was j mimed together, burying under It and
crushing into the earth Engineer James Noo

Glcnwood. Following it came a refrigerator
car, Tho combined baggage and express car
landed with its mar end on the ground and
its front end reired enwswiso on the trostJo.
Jnmns Henry, lgga:e master, was t ssed
through a window nnd Innde l in the mud,
