T ho num ber of warriors, or lighting mon, to a tribe is usually couutod at ono to every lodge, though in somo bands tho pro portion is groator, rising, iu exceptional fnstanoes, to au avorago of two and a half warriors to a lodge.

Mrs. Bbhon, a pale, weary looking woman, opened it; tho poor old man requested permission to enter anil rest awhile, saying ho was very tired with hia long journey, for ho had walked many miles that day. Mrs. Bishop cordially invited him in, and gave him tho best seat tho room af forded. Bite then began to make prep arations for tea. Tho old gentleman watched her attentively. Ho saw there was no elasticity iu her step, no hope in her movements ; and pity lor her began to steal into his heart. When her htiH- band entered, her features relaxed into a smile, and she forced a cheerfulness into her manner. The traveler noted it all ; and lie folt himself forced to ad mire this woman who conld assume a cheerfulness she did not feel for her husband’s sake.

Many of tbo guns have reservoirs in tho stock for ammunition. One curiosity is a single- barreled gun to hold two oharges.

The top charge was exploded by a hammer about a third of the wav up the barrel, and a hammer at the breech then dis charges thb second, bread, batter and tea. They invited tho stranger to eut with them, Haying, “We havo not much to offer you, but a cup of tea will refresh yon after your long journey.” Ho accepted their hospitality, and as they discussed tho frugal meal, ho led them, without seeming to do so, to talk of their affairs. “I bought this piece of land,” said Mr. Bishop, "at a very low price, and instead of waiting, as I ought to have done, until I had saved tho money to build, I thought I would borrow two hundred dollars. Tho interest on tho money would not be nearly as mnoh as the rent I was paying, and I would be saving something by doing it. I did not think thero would be any difficult in paying back the borrowed money. Bat the first year my wife and eno of my childron wero ill, and tho expenses left mo without the means to pay the debt. Mr. Merton agreed to wait an other year, if I would pay the interest. I did that.

Woshakio, tho chief of tho Shoshones, placing no reliance in tho good faith of tho Ohoyonnofl and Ara- puliooH, declined to entertain tho propo sition mode by them, and tho allianco was cot effected. In 1832 a sovero battle took plaoo on tho Chug rivor, a fow miles south of tho present sito of Fort Laramie, botweon the Hioux and Cheyennes and Arapa- liooH, for possession of tho territory. A treaty of poaoo was then made, when it was-a greed that tho torritory north of tho Platte rivor should belong to the Hioux, and that south of it to the Chey ennes and Arapahoes. In 1811 a feud aroso iu tho Hioux camp, and a consid erable uumber of tho tribo left, went south and ranged with the OhoyenneB in tho Republican rivor country. Tho sccoilors wore given tho name of the “ Cut-off bands.” and now number for ty lodgos.
