  and 
  he 
  gives 
  a 
  plan 
  of 
  this. 
  ' 
  The 
  Grangula 
  sat 
  on 
  the 
  east 
  side, 
  

   being 
  placed 
  at 
  the 
  head 
  of 
  his 
  men, 
  with 
  his 
  pipe 
  in 
  his 
  mouth, 
  and 
  

   the 
  great 
  calumet 
  of 
  peace 
  before 
  him.' 
  Then 
  follows 
  an 
  account 
  

   of 
  the 
  official 
  pipe. 
  ' 
  The 
  calumet 
  or 
  pipe, 
  is 
  made 
  of 
  certain 
  stones, 
  

   or 
  of 
  marble, 
  whether 
  red, 
  black 
  or 
  white. 
  The 
  pipe 
  or 
  stalk 
  is 
  four 
  

   or 
  five 
  feet 
  long; 
  the 
  body 
  of 
  the 
  calumet 
  is 
  eight 
  inches 
  long; 
  and 
  

   the 
  mouth 
  or 
  head, 
  in 
  which 
  the 
  tobacco 
  is 
  lodged, 
  is 
  three 
  inches 
  in 
  

   length; 
  its 
  figure 
  approaches 
  that 
  of 
  a 
  hammer. 
  The 
  red 
  calumets 
  

   are 
  most 
  esteemed. 
  The 
  calumet 
  is 
  trimmed 
  with 
  yellow, 
  white 
  and 
  

   green 
  feathers.' 
  He 
  gave 
  a 
  small 
  figure, 
  both 
  of 
  the 
  pipe 
  and 
  

   speaker, 
  but 
  little 
  can 
  be 
  gathered 
  from 
  them. 
  His 
  description 
  is 
  

   general, 
  and 
  as 
  he 
  afterwards 
  traveled 
  in 
  the 
  West, 
  it 
  may 
  have 
  been 
  

   m.ade 
  from 
  western 
  pipes. 
  About 
  this 
  time, 
  however, 
  the 
  red 
  pipe- 
  

   stone 
  came 
  into 
  New 
  York. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Douglass' 
  collection 
  has 
  43 
  New 
  York 
  pipes 
  in 
  a 
  total 
  of 
  375, 
  

   but 
  it 
  is 
  evident 
  that 
  they 
  once 
  existed 
  here 
  in 
  great 
  numbers. 
  Be- 
  

   sides 
  those 
  made 
  by 
  the 
  Indians 
  large 
  quantities 
  of 
  pipe 
  clay 
  pipes 
  

   were 
  distributed 
  at 
  councils 
  and 
  treaties 
  by 
  the 
  English, 
  and 
  these 
  

   antique 
  articles 
  are 
  frequent 
  on 
  the 
  more 
  recent 
  sites. 
  Certain 
  

   forms 
  of 
  stone 
  pipes 
  are 
  found 
  throughout 
  the 
  Northern 
  States, 
  

   made 
  within 
  the 
  last 
  two 
  centuries, 
  and 
  those 
  of 
  pipestone 
  are 
  con- 
  

   fessedly 
  modern. 
  At 
  present 
  a 
  very 
  simple 
  article 
  suffices 
  for 
  the 
  

   Indian's 
  need 
  in 
  New 
  York. 
  

  

  Fig. 
  97 
  is 
  a 
  remarkable 
  pipe 
  of 
  black 
  soapstone, 
  with 
  inlaid 
  eyes 
  

   of 
  hollow 
  bone. 
  This 
  fine 
  pipe 
  was 
  found 
  in 
  a 
  grave 
  on 
  the 
  Seneca 
  

   River, 
  and 
  with 
  it 
  were 
  European 
  articles. 
  The 
  handle 
  beneath 
  is 
  

   a 
  characteristic 
  of 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  pipes 
  of 
  the 
  historic 
  period, 
  and 
  ap- 
  

   pears 
  in 
  much 
  simpler 
  forms. 
  When 
  this 
  is 
  found 
  the 
  age 
  may 
  be 
  

   thus 
  determined 
  in 
  a 
  general 
  way. 
  The 
  bowl 
  is 
  capacious, 
  and 
  the 
  

   face 
  very 
  fine 
  and 
  expressive. 
  This 
  is 
  turned 
  away 
  from 
  the 
  

   smoker, 
  another 
  feature 
  of 
  the 
  later 
  pipes, 
  whether 
  of 
  clay 
  or 
  stone. 
  

   It 
  is 
  four 
  and 
  one 
  half 
  inches 
  high. 
  A 
  head-dress 
  slightly 
  appears, 
  

   but 
  not 
  such 
  as 
  might 
  have 
  been 
  expected. 
  

  

  Fig. 
  98 
  is 
  of 
  yellow 
  sandstone, 
  and 
  was 
  found 
  in 
  Cayuga 
  county. 
  

   The 
  form 
  of 
  the 
  bowl 
  is 
  both 
  early 
  and 
  recent, 
  and 
  has 
  animals 
  in 
  

   relief 
  on 
  the 
  sides. 
  It 
  is 
  one 
  and 
  seven 
  eighths 
  inches 
  high.
