The Indian in His Transitory Stage to Civilization. | The Dances, the Feasta and Counails of the Red Mad at the Yankton. y | Tmpediments to his Early and | Complote Civilization. Some Correspondence of the Philadelph a Press YANKTON.—One who remains Tong | enongh to beeome familiar with the Indian life here at the Yankton Agenc, will see much of the transition state, | from the stolid savage to the indus- trious and peaceablo red man, Chief Strike-the-Rees of the Yankton Sioux is avery old man, with little care now, but a few years agoho had trouble to keep his young brayes off the war path. In fact, several of his young men got off with Sitting Bull, and remained in tho depleted band till the Jast. The discouragement from bad crops, ete., is atall times the ineiting cause for some of theso simple-minded people to stop following in the whito man's ways, and they turn back to become Shlanket” In- dians, There s a great fascination in the wild, free ways of the savage, and the young braves have a struggle to quit the lives of their foretathers we cannot fully appreciate from our standpoint. The dances, feasts and councils of the Indians at this agency now are almost identical with the most ancient of their customs, I have mct with them on these occasions, and happier mortals one seldom gets among. Gen- erally they mect . their log houses and make no_account of ventilation during the hottest weather. The women and men never dance together. The first named, if at one o their gatherings, will form o circle, touch- ing closely shoulder to shoulder, when the half dozen men-musicians in their midst begin to tap the drum and cry out _in their monotonous *‘Ah! Ah!” Then the women will begin, ping time, to bend their knees, with feet kept slightly together, jump and move slightly round sidewise till they get once around the circle, This done, they sit down and rest awhile. The chanting of the men, mingled with their cries, resembles the bark- ing of wolves, and their drumming is at times made to imitate thunder. The pargon is made tolerable to white person's ears only when the full, regular chant of the women deadens the efiorts of the ‘musicians” to imitate the wild sounds of nature. After about an hour spent in the dance the “‘man of the house™ appears with kettles from the hre outside filled with coffee, and his ncighbors Dbring in other boilers filled with dog meat, wild beets, and the corn and bean soups. Young dogs make a dainty eatablo for the Indian and are always in great demand hef ¢ Sunday afternoon we attended an Indian assemblage of about 300 people two miles south of the agency buildings that was dance, feast and council . combined. Following the dance, after the manner described above, came the feast—but only a par- ticular ‘‘set” (colled a_‘‘dance club” by whites here) seemed to be invited to partake. This feast was in honor of Y:xdian police force, & body of about thirty men, armed by the United States and paid ench §b per month by the government. In the council which followed two Indians spoke, who were dressed in ornamental leg- gins and blankets, with belts richly metal ornaments. The actions nu gostures of tho speakers indicated that they were no strangers in the formm: The question under discugsies Was e garding the dispunng‘-l;’hcafl"':i)::“yl:)‘"‘;:fi men of this trike W Tt Jeos country lately and stolen gome ponies. As the Rees were at peaco with the ‘ankton Sioux, the oneral opinion seemed to prevail that Bhe young thieves and their stolen ponies should be given up to the Reos, Before weo reached the place of meeting a young inan, gayly dressed and with Tace marked in the red and black stripes of paint after the custom peculiar amony nearly all these Indinus, spraug through the high weeds toward us, swinging s battle-club; but as we had heard of this peactical-joking propensity to- ward strangers, he came up close, and, laughing, gave the usual salutation: ““How?" 1t 18 & mistake to think the Indians do not love a joke and a laugh. The squaws, when togother, will chatter and laugh as will any party of whte gossips. At the risk of being thought tedious I desire, beferc closng these hasty notes, to jor down other peculiar things about Tndians, On mountin their ponies or aligh an Indian man or woman _(they both ride alike, 50 that side-saddles are at a discount here) mvarisbly goes to the left or “off” gide of the animal, There 18 a shgnu difference in lan- guage Among the Sioux, the Brules using a dialect with fewer gutteral sounds than the others. A Yaukton- jan will pronounce the word “nina”’ that a Brule will soften to *‘lila.” ‘At one of the women's dances T had pointed out to 1me a young squaw who soemed as much interested as any of the others. She had ived u good education at Hampton, Va., sowe years ago, but now sho has got among The wild Tndians again, and a white person cannot persuade her to speak o word in Enghsh, It is a prevailing habit of these Indians at the Yankton ageney never to use the English even when they have some command of our language. This is either through race pride or fear that we will make sport of their spesking our words im- perfectly. Indians seem usage they are satisfied with the receiving at this agency, and are fast becoming self- Sapporting, Among themselves they retain their old custom of bartering, or, as they say, giving. Some weeks ago & large dance was held, and there was much rejoicing thereat, because the Rees had ‘“‘given” the Indions hero several ponies, The fact was the Rees for & long time had been in- debted to the Yanktons, and because they had paid the debt when repre- atiyes of the latter went upon i and artistically studded with beads and | H1& 2 d | would jest LY BEE: sotn a mile square reservation where they get pipe-stone. Recently a party of Indians from hero went across and procured & quantity of the stone, which they patiently dragged the long distanco upon poles fastened to the shoulders of their ponies. A dance was held on the return of the pipe- stono bearers, and as tho custom is to ranke presents to the getter-up of the dance, among the prese s brought tho host were several picees of this stone. A pony is given away by one Tndian for ten pipes made from this stone and given in return. We should not make the mistake, in dealing with Indians. to think them on a par with ignorant or brutal whites The traditions and custc of the red wan are so fixed that he will nlways be an Indian. He has pride of ancestry and qualities that Hgurvival of the fittest” has left most marked in his mind from contact with forocious or _treacherous animals; but there is much more hope ot converting the trae Indian than after he becomes degeaded. Naturally many of them are far from being eriminally inclined. The whites have given the Indian ex amples of degradation he had no con- ception of in his untulored state. The disposition to kill es from his manner in the past of gaininga liveli- hood; slyness, from the necessity of taking wild game; and to be dirty soems natural enough, for when white wen lead a similar e they get into nearly as filthy ways, Cofitact with our race led to the indulgence in *five- water” by the Indian, and its bad cffect led to his being pushed off the conntry he inherited from his fore- fathers, and, worst of all, to his looking upon n Equaw as lower than the Deast of burden he had formerly made her. Tho example hown by the whites in taking and desertin| Indian wives and their own little children will have the worst possible effect on the most chasto savage. He might be made drunk and recover; he might bo most cruel, as when Custer attacked, was repulsed, and the too confident *‘pale faces” in the devoted little army were led to cruel slaughter. Yet worst of allis it that the Indian should be set the example of cruelly betraying and deserting the weaker sex and helpless babes. Here at Yankton Agency pines the lonely Tndian wife of a for- mer agent, who married and since de- serted her; another, a half-breed, a aghter of Lieutenant IL., aman who has ample estate to eare for his own, but does not. T an Tudian, then, does not take kindly to our civ- ilization, ashe has been able to com- prehend it, we should not be toohasty in starving him till his lips say “1 ac- copt,” and Lis heart, ‘1 despise.” W.

In favor | of the various kinds of polled cattle the arguments are advanced that they | wro less inclined to be vicious, for being without horns as weapons of offense or detense they do not possess the quarrelsomo disposition of animals whoso horns are a weapon ot aggressive warfaro at the slightest opportunity, On the contrary, it 18 clnimed that whon attacked those eat- | tle actually the most vindictivo | and cruel of any i the list, Again it js asserted that they will thrive on | pasturage where any” other breed ex cept, perhaps, the Herefords will run down in flesh and eventually bo re n-| dored untit for market, This, how ever, is an_assumption which Short- | Horn breeders are not willing to ad- mit, and, although it cannot be de nied that polled cattle are hardly foeders, thero are other breeds who accumulate fat and bocome market- ablo upon pasturage which cannot be considesed the best, A recent writer in the Country Gentleman asserts that “when age renders the | ornless enttle uu\vruli(qdvln for the dairy their | round plump carcasses are ought | after by the butchers, having more | flesh to tho surface than common | stock, not exeepting, ‘mflm]w‘ the gradud short horn.” Mo this the breeders of not only the graded but theroughbred short-horns tuke ex- coption’_and challenge the production of a polled cow which has outlived its usefulness for dairy purposes which cwm compe ¢, much less surpass Fall Opening !

Improving Stock. The importing, broeding and im- proving of stock s increasing in ener- by and intensity, instead of abating, Tt has not only given an impetus to farming, but hias more than any other agoney brought intoactivity the brains of the country. ‘Thespirit of enter: prise has entered into all branches, of stock. And in this matter the West in no particulur is behind tho Bast or contral portions of the United States. The mportation of shorthorns began over three-quarters of a centuty and though slow in its prog:os finally improyed American slock up to be equal with England of any other country. There is now hdt a limited demand for further importations of shorthorns. In fact, England is tr; ing to get back at almost any price somo of our hest familics. od, yet their superior excellence for milk is causing a heavy draft from the Taland of Jersey. And the citizens of that Island finding the trade so profit- ablo, are directing their attention solely to raising Jersey stock, This breed is becoming v common _in this country and is rapidly gaining in favor. The Holsteins™ aro also quining in public favor. They are Jargcr than the Jersey, and the steers make the choicest beoves, while they give double the milk of the little islander, But it lacks in quality. But their redeeming virtues in other respects, are causing more oxtensive importations, And they sustain in tho market prices at least equal toany other breed. Herefords, too, are assuming o strong rivalry with the shorthorns for beef, aud are being more extensively imported than form- orly. The Dovons have long stood high. They are extremely hardy, capable of standing better than other breods the hard fare of the plains, and broeders from chat quarter are mak- ing anxious inquiry tor them, Tt is stoutly maintained that the suley or polled stock, of which thero is at least a half dozen' varieties, have wmany superior qualities to_commend them to feeders and shippers. Un- der careful breeding there is probably bright future for them. S Honey Dow in Georgia. Columbs Times.
