A correspondent nftlip Globe- M mot- of
writing from tho Kiri Indian Agency,
Idaho, says: Another custom hero and
among the Osage*, of which no mention
is ever made, is that of pnlyganu u mar
riago. Tito Osage and Kaw Irihat law is
that tlie man who first marries a daughter
in any family acquires thereby the right
to take all the other daughter* as his
wives whenever ho pleases. Tho sisters
to his wile can marry no one else without
Ijisconsent. This consent is rarely given,
nnd never except by handsome purchase.
As n matter of fact, Osage and Kaw men
often have several sisters for their wives
nt one time. 'Hie women aro servants —
(slaves—ami tho man who oan first marry
into a family of sovoral gills is considered
Very fortunate, for ho can take them nil
Tor wives and servants and work very
little himself. So far ns tho writer knows,
tho United States government Inis ta ver
attempted to break up thi* abominable
custom, but has knowingly permitted it
to go on for several generations.

EXCLUSION TO LOOKOUT.
The annual tour to Mason’s, on Lookout
Mountain, is looked forward to hy the
young people of our town ns the climax of
all tho pleasures of tho year. The
mention in your last issue of tho party
that participated this summer assured
your readers who wore acquainted with
us that our enjoyment could never he
penned. My object in giving a short
account of that tour is not that our party
may havo “sweet written details” to over
remind them of' Iho occurrence, for the
hearts of all wero so filled with "that
inward incxpressiblencss nnd outward
allovorncss" that, even in old ago, all
will be found clinging to tho dear
memories without a vestige of paper and
ink as a referenoe; nor is it an attempted
expression of tho happiness wc all ex
perienced, but simply that your readers
may know something of tlm places wc
visit, and what wo do there.
Mason's is headquarters for us, and the
noble old gentleman, and good wife nnd
family, are always as glad to seo us as we
to see them. Their homo is 20 miles
from this placo on the Summerville and
Valley Head road, and 4 miles from the
last named placo. Wo go by piivato
conveyance,-and it is rather a tiresome
ride, ns part of tho road is yet new, and
there arc many rocks and stumps not
more than a foot high, to be worn off ly
travel. It was only those who had never
visited there (hat.looked, before reaching
tho place, as if "they wished they
hadn’t.” All the others sat patiently,
their faces beaming with expectancy. At
11 A. M., after driving from sunup, lhe
last of tho party emerged from a wood
and -houted 'Mason’s' till the mountains
echoed with the name. It was answered
from ail over tho grove hy the parly
already there, and all joined heartily in
the first Comanche yells of the morning.
A short drive through the clearing
brought them to the large gate, which i
so arranged that pulling a rope fastened
at the top brings the bottom flying up
over you in such a frightful way as
always to call fortli a “darling" little
•■cream. The gale past, you stand in full
view of the Suimnervillians’ paradise.
Close to tho hit hoi la up a beautiful
-pritig with cemented walls, beyond which
is an orchard sown in timothy and orchard
grass, with trees full afluaeious fruit. To
the right is a shady grove. Directly in
front stands Mason's house. 'The yard is
luxuriant with blue grass, and shaded
with stately oaks. Tho house at first
sight looks rather nna 1 !, hut you find it
to contain twelve rooms of good siz •,
conveniently arranged and well venti
lated. Wero we to order a place and
house for our summer party, Mason's
would be the model. The barn is largo
and convenient, and, leaving our burses
with the servants, we repair to our rooms
and prepare for dinner, which is a
sumptuous repast, for which wear in
ilubted to the energy, kindness and skill
of tlie young ladies.
The afternoon is spent in the parlor,
gracefully twinging in In mtuocks, or
strolling through shady promenades,
Evening comes on, and, delighted with
tho afternoon rambles, wo part, to meet
alter a short while, Iran.-! ruiod into a
bull I arty. The parlor and dance hall
are lighted, and till the wee small hours
every heart bows to tlw sceptre- of
Terpsichore. The hour for retiring is
when you please: the hour for sleeping,
when yon can. Early morning finds all
up, having been aroused, as tho girls say,
by sortie hideous monster that was so
anxious for a drink that it couldn’t wait
til! a respoctablo hour to rise, which, of
course, is a feminine joke.
The second morning, before sunrise, we
danced an ante billion cotillion, which
made brcaklnst truly appreciated. Freak
fast over, we find our horses and vehicles
ready to carry us to Little llivcr Falls,
near four miles (torn Mason’s. This
drive is one unequaled for its beauty and
grandeur of scenery by any in the State.
It leads directly west to the west top of
the mountain, then turning south along
the brow. From this point can he seen
tho valley below for miles north and
south, dotted liorc and there with farm
houses, and the Alabama Great Southern
railroad running through the little village
of Valley Head. All this is backed in
tho west by mountain after mountain, til!
the great blue chain and tho horizon kiss
in an almost indiscernible line. Vehicles
of almost every description, loaded with
young men of lino physique, nnd yourtr
ladies of graceful form, all shouting and
waving hats and handkerchiefs to the
mountain breeze, ns they passed over this
mountain road, made a picture not soon
to be forgotten. Farther on the road
runs through young but magnificent vine
yards, which this year aro producing as
lino grapes as could be found on the “vine
clad hills of France.” The day is not far
distant when these vineyards will com
pare favorably with any on the continent.
In a short while we reached Little River
Falls. Alighting fioui our conveyances,
all rush to the edge of the high oliff that
overlooks the fulls. Here you can sec
Little River for a groat distance rapidly
winding through a wild, uninhabited
country down to where it makes its first
fall in two streams nearly twenty feet,
then, madly rushing together, makes a
grand leap sixty feet into an inky pool
below, lashed into great white waves of
foam, seen through snow-like mist. A
descent over rooks and elitfs covered with
grocn moss and odorous wild flowers,
proves tho pool to bo deep; tho bottom
of black, moss-covered rock, that gives it
the inky appearance from above; but the
water is so crystal-like that a pin could
almost be seen on the bottom.
Next we visit the rock houses, about
three hundred yards south of the falls, on
the west side of the river. Here tho
river turns short to the west, having a
■ it:'. : -ist under which arc the rock
houses. A short distance brings you to
them. They are excavations scooped out
in the great rocks, varying in size, having
partitions in which are entrances from
ono tn the other, opening out the full size
of tho house over tho c'iff, with a lodge
of rock, nnswering for a veranda, running
around the whole set of houses, the width
of’which varies from one to lon feet. The
scenery hero is beyond description. The
high white falls to your left, inflight, and
in hearing of its roar, the water coming
down through tho doop gorge near throe
hundred feet perpendicular under the
cliff ori which you stand, rushing off to
your right, und again turning sharply
south out of view, all in all present a
picture that defies a copy from the hand
of man. Couple after couple, every boy
with his “best girl,” we lined the ledge
of rock that ran in front of the houses,
and, ns a whole party, hero sped the
most pleasant hour of tho tour.
At first all were quiet, and seemed bent
on seeing all that was to bo aeon, but
after a whilo the merry little songsters
bfigan to chirp out such expressions as
"Don’t trouble about mo,” ‘Tin not
frightened,” “Now, quit holding me,’’
etc. Tho crowd joined in pleasant talk;
and pardon for repeating just here a part
oftho conversation that will interest those
who understand. Home one seeing fit to
tease one of the girls said “that always
in August Tursloy’ died." Another
suggested “that it bad died this time in
July.” Another “that it didn’t make
any difforooee; (but she could live all
winder on *('ain,‘ as it never died.”
An >tl)er, in a "Horn.” Then a fair
damsel looking out of the corner of her
eye at the hoys ‘aid "Oh! yes, a 'Horn’ is
to some very acceptable before break
fast;” when an innocent youth, reclining
against a rock, with the blue stuoke of a
cigar emerging from under his hat, which
was pulled down over his /rah lace, put
in on answer at which thos“ who know it
nro already laughing, "Yes, but very
dista. teful to others at night.” Alter a
good laugh, slowly, ar.d with regrets that
life was not fitted up with such pleasant
emotions as had for an hour filled the
soul, the party regained tho summit,
made for tho vehicles, arid again started
for headquarters. How iihtppcnfil cone
con explain, hut on the way hack, two
hats, a pocket handkerchief, fan, rnd
umbrella, all came tumbling out id'a hack
at onre, very nearly followed hy another
“Hat” and gentleman. Headquarters
were reached about 1 I‘. M. lion. John
IV. Maddox and (.'apt. O. If. Johnson,
with their families, and the others
mentioned in your last issue, met us as w e
returned. Ik ;m this time fill a late hour
at night the party reached i's highest
point of excitement. The woods echoed
with shoots and (filmiius laughter.
'hiring the evening the gallant Dr.
Dave Powers joined tis, with the intel
ligence that a party from Chattanooga
was entiling down on the !l o'clock train
the next day, with the expectation of
meeting us at Valley Head, at;.! all joining
in a visit to the the great Manitou e*ve
it fort l’ayne. The next morning the
excursionists who came in the evening
before went to the falls; the others, to
Valley Head. We reached Valley Head
at ten o'clock, and the breezes gradually
began to biow till the 11 o'clock train
calmed the cyclone, in that short time
every inhabitant of tho village was
frightened from bis quiet place of abode,
and hovered around to eo that the depot
wasn’t blown away. We have reason to
believe that tbe quiet village of Valley
Head bad no regrets when wo left for
Fort Payne- We found the party from
Chattanooga ready tojoin in the fun, and
in every respect oqnn! to the occasion.
Wo were only sorry when wo parted that
we bad seen no more of them. It is
useless to attempt a relation of what we
saw in the great Manitou, or to tell of the
day's enjoyment. Suffice it, it was equal
to any other day during tho trip.
Tho jolly Johnnie Horn, a lavorito
drummer with us, and one of the Chat
tanooga party, cauio baok to headquarters
with us. Johnnie, it's all right, but the
tall and graceful “(’ain” still trembles
from the effects of that unmerciful
“Horn.” Wo got in from Valley Head
tired nnd rather late; but, after a re
freshing repast, the entrancing strains of
the violin aea'n called us to the dance
hall; but the tiresome trip cf the day soon
began to tell, and, one by ono, the 'roses’
faded away. Even the boys who, the day
boforc, had planned to shako up the
house on this night, wero glad to quietly
retire.
Early next morning it was reported
that one ot the party, expecting to leave,
hnd settled with Mr. Mason, and his
charges wero two dollars and fifty cents
alt round, even for baby and servant, per
day. Poor boys! How they sprang from
their sweet beds of rest, and began
sorrowfully to talk of promissory notes,
mortgages on watches, shirts, etc. Some
who expected to stay most of the day
settled their bills before breakfast to the
great astonishment of the kind old gentle
man of the house. The charge for
furnished rooms, corn and stables for
horses, was only one dollar an-1 seventy
iive cents per head for three nights. This
was tho last day on the mountain, which
every boy spent with his “best girl.” At
three o’clock P. M. the last of the ex
cursionists bade a sad farewell to
Mason’s, and welcomed the dearest little
village on earth, our Summerville, our
home, when it rose up before us in the
light of the moon and stars, offering us
shelter and rest.
As we promised, we have given you a
concise account ot the places we visit on
our mountain tour, and what wo do
there; yet we feel that scarcely any part
has been told. Each day’s proceedings
would afford a history of interesting facts;
and the parties who figure in them, a
plot for the richest of fictions. It is over.
Four days numbered with the past, hut
in the far off future, when death has
claimed his number,tears of pleasure will
tremble over the furrowed cheeks of age,
when memory carries us back to these
four days spent at Mason's, and to the
happy hearts that were linked in unison,
•nth one sentiment. \Y.
