  The

  They

   from 
  silver 
  coins

  The 
  long 
  silver 
  beads, 
  represented 
  in 
  the 
  plate, 
  were 
  very 
  com- 
  

   mon 
  in 
  former 
  times, 
  but 
  are 
  now 
  rarely 
  to 
  be 
  met 
  with. 
  They 
  

   are 
  simply 
  tubes 
  of 
  silver, 
  varying 
  from 
  one 
  to 
  two 
  inches 
  in 
  

   length, 
  and 
  strung 
  upon 
  deer 
  string, 
  with 
  round 
  silver 
  beads 
  be- 
  

   tween 
  them 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  way 
  from 
  the 
  lower 
  end 
  of 
  the 
  string. 
  

   In 
  this 
  string 
  there 
  are 
  seven 
  strands, 
  all 
  of 
  which 
  are 
  banded 
  to- 
  

   gether 
  by 
  the 
  deer 
  strings 
  whicli 
  issue 
  from 
  the 
  small 
  ends 
  of 
  the 
  

   several 
  strings; 
  but 
  at 
  the 
  larger 
  ends, 
  they 
  are 
  disunited.

  The 
  round

  beads 
  figured 
  in 
  the 
  plate, 
  which 
  were 
  ob- 
  

   tained 
  of 
  a 
  Seneca 
  female 
  at 
  Tonawanda, 
  were 
  evidently
