THE GEOKGE CATLIN INDIAN GALLEEY. 687 



Indians a certain sum per mouth, and bound to return them to London, from whence 

 they came, at his own expense. As my collection was all arranged and prepared, I 

 thought such an arrangement calculated to promote their interest and my own, and 

 in a few days their arrival and exhibitions were announced, they having been quar- 

 tered in the same appartments which had been occupied by the loways before them. 

 The following are the names of the party, with their respective ages given (see 



Plate 18) :

4. 2Ius-she-mong (the King of the Loons) 25

12. Pappoose, born in the Sallo Valentino. 



The chief of this party, Maun-gua-daus, was a remarkably Mue man, both in Ms 

 personal appearance and intellectual faculties. He was a half-caste, and, speaking 

 the English language tolerably well, acted as chief and interpreter of the party. 



The war-chief, Say-say-gon, was also a fine aud intelligent Indian, full-blooded, and 

 spoke no Euglish, The several younger men were generally good-looking, and exceed- 

 ingly supple and active, giving great life aud excitement to their dances. In per- 

 sonal appearance the party, taken all together, was less interesting than that of the 

 loways, yet, at the same time, their dances and other amusements were equally if not 

 more spirited and beautiful than those of tkeir predecessors. 



EXHIBITIOXS COMMENCED. 



Thus, in the midst of my sorrow, I was commencing anxieties again, aud advertised 

 the arrival of the new party and the couimencement of their exhibitions. They 

 began with more limited but respectable audiences, and seemed to please and surprise 

 all who came by the excitement of their dances and their skill in sbooting with the 

 bow and arrows, in the last of which they far surpassed the loways. It was impos- 

 sible, however, by all the advertising that could be done, to move the crowds again 

 that had been excited to see the loways, the public seeming to have taken the idea 

 that these were merely an imitation, got up to take advantage of their sudden de- 

 parture. It happened quite curious that, although the parts consisted of eleven when 

 they arrived, about the time of the commencement of their exhibitions the wife of 

 the chief was delivered of a pappoose, which was born in the same room where the 

 poor wife of the Little Wolf had died. This occiirreuce enabled us to announce 

 the party as twelve, the same number as the loways; which, with the name some- 

 what similar, furnished very strong grounds for many of the Parisians to believe that 

 they were paying their francs to see tbeir own countrymen aping the Indians of 

 America. 



The same hours were adopted for their exhibitions, the same vehicles were con- 

 tracted for for their daily exercise and sight-seeing, and their guardian with Daniel, 

 took charge of all their movements on these occasions. Their daily routine, there- 

 fore, was in most respects the same as that of the loways, and it would bo waste of 

 valuable time here for mo to follow them through all. 



We held the council, as we had done in the other cases, before our arrangements 

 were entered upon, and all was placed upon the condition that they were to conduct 

 themselves soberly, and to drink no spirituous liquors. The temperance ph-dge 

 was therefore given, after I had cxplaiiii'd to tliem that, with the two other parties, 

 ale in England, and vin ordinaire in I'^niucc-, wlicii tal<en to a nuidcrato degree, were
