LIFE AMONG THE INDIANS.
THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS AMONG THE
SEMINOLE INDIANS.
INDIAN ETIQUETTE—THU QUEEN CORN DANCE —
SI Y NAMESAKE -INFANCY AND <JI,D AOK.
INDIAN ETIQUETTE
I.< easily observed. The noble red man
dines at precisely the hour suggested by
hunger; that is, if his larder is supplied
vvith the requisites, if not, he postpones
Ins meals indefinitely, chews a green
com stalk, smokes his‘-Hitchopockawa”
indulges in a quiet nap, then goes off
hunting. To eat with him requires the
stomach and appetite of a Tallehassee
boot black; yet to reject his invitation to
eat. would be an unpardonable insult.
I have partially excused myself thus far
on a plea of indisposition, but make it
convenient occasionally to examine the
contents of my saddle-bags. After
smoking, to prove my friendship, (a lux
ury I never indulged in at home), till I
bad to bold fast to a post to retain rny
equilibrium, three boiled venison hams,
two large brass kettles, each supplied
with a hlg wooden spoon, one containing
•‘kumta,” (a starchy substance made
from a wild root that grows spontane
ously here), the other “sofka,” (corn
broken in a mortar, without a particle
ot salt used in any of it,) was placed be
fore me and I was invited to “humbuck
usteha,”(come and eat.) The polite red
skins helped themselves first, and by the
time the spoons reached me. no less than
twenty of tlie ‘’noble braves” had licked
them, leaving no doubt in my mind
as to the < leanliness of the spoons or the
savory of their contents. A glance at
the venison, that sported no les3 than
thirteen green flies to the square inch,
and slipped off the hone hke a turtle off
a log, convinced me that it was suffi
ciently tender for the palate of a prince.
B side other proofs, such as fishing up a
dear's liver, biting off a mouthful, lick
ing it all over and dropping it back into
the pot of “kumta,” fully assured me
that it was all “very good.” but some
how, strange to say, I was not hungry
and always had an aversion to eating
before I got so; but to refuse this polite
invitation would be an insult to the dig
nity of my excellent host and ns I wna
sixty-five miles from the “babarous”
whites, felt anxious to acquit myself
with decorum before these enlightened
“descendents of the lost tribes of Israel.’
Finally my hostess passed me a buck
skin hag containing a mixture of wild
hoaev and something els?, I know not
what, but it h id a delightful smell and
quite pleasant to the palate, but I par
took of it lather sparingly. Judging
that Indian saliva would not improve it
any, 1 ltd down the licked clean
spoon and proceeded to help myself in a
manner not ex ictly in accordance . with
Chesterfield’s rules of etiquette.
THE GREEN CORN DANCE.
1 had hoped to reach the village in
time to witness the celebration of their
“Opundaca (green corn dance), but was
a few days too late. I succeeded, liow
ever, by persuasion and presents in get
ting up, on a small scale, a repetition of
the performances, which was ludicrous
in the superlative degree. Buckling on
the “locatocoatstcha,” (the only instru
ment of music found among them, and
s simply six or eight shells, of the speck
led terrapin variety, filled with hard
seed and made fast to a buckskin band
tiiat is buckled around the leg near, the'
knee,) the dancers formed a circle around
i iall pole set up and lecentfy used for
that purpose, and began a senes of bodi
ly and facial c<«i tort ions that would
have done honor to the memory of
Prumetheous; writhing, wriggling and
I squirming, thej r pranced around the pole
keeping time to the music (in a horn) of
the ‘.’melodious terrapin shells. I offer
ed “chauk hokapin,” (two chauks or fif
ty cents.) for one of these musical out
fits to present to Philbrick’s museum,
i and had about negotiated with the illus
trious brave when his better-half inter
posed by storming out; “Intlamusuha
locatocoatstcha sartookanawa tutscha
nin’’. I didn’t doubt the truthof her assei
tionbut decided not to purchase.
MY NAMESAKE.
I was called yesterday to a sick ‘-picka
ninny.” In vain I pleaded my ignoianee
of medical science—hut they all seemed
