  'the 
  pipe 
  represented 
  in 
  the 
  figure 
  is 
  made 
  of 
  a 
  soft 
  red 
  stone, 
  

   called 
  Catlinite,or 
  the 
  Missouri 
  pipe 
  stone, 
  that 
  State 
  being 
  the 
  chief, 
  

   if 
  not 
  the 
  only 
  place, 
  in 
  which 
  it 
  is 
  found. 
  It 
  is 
  in 
  common 
  use 
  

   among 
  the 
  western 
  Indians 
  for 
  making 
  the 
  calumet, 
  and 
  also 
  for 
  

   common 
  pipes. 
  Like 
  soap 
  stone, 
  which 
  was 
  much 
  used 
  by 
  the 
  Iro- 
  

   quois 
  for 
  the 
  same 
  purpose, 
  it 
  can 
  be 
  fashioned 
  into 
  pipes 
  without 
  

   the 
  aid 
  of 
  metalic 
  instruments. 
  There 
  is 
  a 
  tradition 
  in 
  relation 
  to 
  

   this 
  pipe 
  that 
  it 
  was 
  taken 
  from 
  a 
  Sioux 
  many 
  years 
  ago 
  by 
  a 
  Se- 
  

   neca, 
  in 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  many 
  inroads 
  of 
  the 
  Senecas 
  into* 
  the 
  territo- 
  

   tories 
  of 
  the 
  former 
  people. 
  It 
  bears 
  decisive 
  marks 
  of 
  its 
  anti- 
  

   quity, 
  and 
  also 
  of 
  severe 
  usage, 
  for 
  the 
  original 
  orifice 
  in 
  which 
  

   the 
  stone 
  piece 
  was 
  inserted 
  has 
  been 
  taken 
  away, 
  and 
  a 
  new 
  one 
  

   made 
  above 
  in 
  which 
  the 
  present 
  stone 
  is 
  fastened. 
  It 
  was 
  ob- 
  

   t^ned 
  of 
  a 
  Seneca.
