Tt isanotable fact that ever since the Sanitary fairs have been projedted the spirit of patriotism and of sym- pathy for the defoaders of the nation’s existence has in- fused pew life into almost every faculty of the minds of all loyal Amorican citizens. Intellect, taste, invention, ingonuity and tne varied acquirements aud experiences of mou and women in all the pursuits of life have been made tributary t the uccomplistiment of the benevolent end covtempiated by this nove! putional enterprise. This remark was suggosted ag the writer entered tho Indian Department of the great Metropolitan Fair, which is located on the upper end of Fourteenth street, towards Sixth avenue, The apace allotted to this part of the exhibition is about simty by thiiy fet, and, if we can judge from the novelty of the inter.or of the department and the nature of the performaxces to be enacted in it, we do not hesitate to say that it will prove quite as attrac tive as any portion of the fair. It should be stated that the mauagers of the fairs that have beon held in other parts of the country failed to call mpou the Indians to furuish their ‘quota’ to the national cause. Thus it was left to Now York, which some say ia the centre of the extremes of barbarism and civilization, to “conscript” the savage ju heiping forward this uational bepevolent undortekiag. Ty ig only: an act of justice to mention that the credit of shis suggestion, and also its practical execution is mainly due to Mr. Bie‘stadt, whose picture of the ‘Rocky Moun. tains’’ forms go valuable an addition to the art contribu- tions on exhibition at the { ‘This gentleman, during his extended sojourn at the Rocky Mountains and vicivity, ‘bas had upusual facilities for becoming acquainted with ~ the customs and mode of life of the Indian tribes, and he has contributed a variety of articies procured in that region for the decoration and fitting up of the mouster wigwam. As this part of the Fair will be under hig per- sonal supervision while it is open, its success is rendered Certain. One would scarcely believe that a sliding door waa all that separated the grand temple where the eye is rected at covery point with evidences of civilization, re- “fimement and educated skill from the abode of the rod Gonizens of the wilderness.
