Washikotov, D. a Slay 31, 1880.
The national capital presented a gala
Appearance on Saturday, the occasion be
ing the decoration of the graves of Un
ion soldiers under the7 auspices of the
Grand Army of the Republic, Depart
ment of the Potomac, The day was all
that could be "desired, the air being de
lightfalry tool, with gentle - winds. ' The
day was generally observed at a holiday.
The government departments and dis
trict offices were cleeed, and the bankers
ad most of the business population sus
pended their usual vocations. Flags
were displayed at half-mast from all the
government buildings, hotels and other
prominent places. A new feature of
aemorial day was the morning parade of
thtuniKUry and the O. A. which
was witnessed by large crowds of people
along the route of the procession.
So many members of the Senate and
House of Representatives have left the
city that it would not be at all surpris
ing if a quorum was lacking this week.
In fact; last week it was barely possible
to get a quorum in the House on some
sry important Tofes. Senators Conk
ling, Carpenter, Hoar, Jones, of Nevada,
Aud other leaders of "the Seriate, are al
ready away. Republicans in the House.
including Gargeldy-Conger, Frye, Kiefer

faces in the direction of Chicago. Oth

look after their nominations. All who

plaees there is a reservation that the
pairs are not to be respected if a vote in
most eases the pairs are made without
reservation. The pairs will be rigidly

session until tha Cincinnati convention,
as it now seems probable, the Democrats

An exchange says any discharged sol
dier of the United States who has not
made application for pension on account
of wounds or disability received while in
the service must do so before July 1st,
ieu. After that time pensions will
date only from the time of application.
The same is true regarding applications
for additional bounty yet claimed by
many soldiers.
A letter received from Camp Chelan

a soldier, named Maynard. belonerintr to

When an Indian wants to crimp his
hair, he has to run it through a rolling
mill first to snake it malleable. Then
the blacksmith of the tribe rolls it up
over an ordinary freight-car coupling
pin, and on the following morning it
hangs in graceful Saratoga waves down
the back of the untutored savage.
I said to the interpreter, who seemed
to act aa their trainer:. "No doubt
these Crows are going to Washington to
try and interest Hayes in their caws."
He gave a low gurgling laugh.
"No," said he, with a merry twinkle
of the eye, as he laid his lip half way
over a plug of Government tobacco; "as
spring approaches they have decided to
go to Washington and ransack the In
dian Bureau for their gauze Sebum."
I caught bold of a car seat, and rip
pled till the eoaoh rang with my mirth
ful laughter. r
These Indians wear expressive high
cheek bones, and most of them have
strabismus in their feet Sher had
their paint on. It makes them look like
a chromo of Powhatan mashing the
eternal soul out of John Smith with a
bologna sausage. 'y
One of these chiefs, named Raw-Dog-with-tv-Bunion-on-the-Heel,
I think, a
ohief of the Wall-Eyed-Skunk-Eaters,
looked so gu&less and kind that I ap
proached him and" paid that no doubt the
warpath in the Iandof the setting-sun
was overgrown with crrasa. and in his
mountain home very likely the beams of
peace lit up the faces ot his tribe.
He did not seem to catch my mean
ing. I asked him if his delegation w&? go
ing to Washington uninstructed.
He made a short remark in reply,
something like that which the shortstop
a match-game of base ball utters
when a ball takes him unexpectedly be
tween the gastric and the liver pad.
Somehow, the live Indians do not look
so picturesque as the steel engravings do.
The smell is not the same, either. Steel
engravings of Indians do not show the
decalcamonia outline of a frying pan on
the buckskin pants where the noble red
man made a misstep one morning and
sat down on his breakfast,.
A dead Indian is a pleasing picture.
The look of pain and anxiety is gone,
and rest, sweet rest more than he
needs has come at last His hands are
folded peacefully, and his mouth is open,
like the end of a saw-mill. His trials
are o'er. His swift foot is making pig
eon-toed tracks inthe. sands of eternity.
The picture of a wild, free Indian
chasing the buffalo may suit some, but I
like still life in art I like the picture
of a broad shouldered, well formed
brave, as he lies with his nerveless hand
across a large hole in the pit of his
stomach.
There is something so sweetly sad
about it. There ia such a nameless feel
ing of repose and security on the part
of the spectator.
Some have such sensitive natures that
they cannot look at the remains of an
Indian who has been run over by two
sections of a freight train; but I can.
do not feel that nervous distrust when I
look at the red man with his sesophogus

full of vigor and health. When a train
of cars has jammed his thigh bone
through his diaphragm and flattened his
head out like a soup-plate, I feel then
that I can trust him. I feel that he
oan be relied upon. I consider him in
the character of ghastly remains as a
success. He seems at last so in earn
est, and as though he could be trusted
with large sums of money.

One of the most' interesting and yet
sad sights that could occur, took .place
during the march of the funeral proces
sion of the late Dr. Clarke. V. S., at the
Garrison recently. A band' of cavalry
horses were on' the grounds grazing, and
when the funeral cortege caught their
yes, they followed ir all along the bank
to. the ceinetery, as if aware that their
friend was no more, and trying to do
honor to his memory. No effort of the
attendants were sufficient to drive them
away until the service was over when
they voluntarily wandered off. Walla
