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.
