In the aparatus room Oftho Institute, a number
of them were induced to join hands, and
a severe galvanic shock was given them.?
Sonic of them gave vent to the significant
"Tgh," indicating their surprise, and turned
fiercely about to discover the person they
supposed hod struck them ; others rubbed
their arm ; ml elbows, and from the
general talk in their own language, one woul 1
suppose they had entered upon a scientific
discussion of the nature of the singular manifestation.
Afterwards several of them took
shucks singly, and it was curious to witfiesu
the grim determination with which those
stoics of tlio wilderness undertook to assume
that air of impasuiveouuH which tradition assorts
tltcy maintain when undergoing torture
as captives. 15ut it was no go; they had to
knuckle t seieueo, and as one after the other
of the astonished braves was doubled up,
tumbled upon his knees, and knocked into
a heap generally by the powerful battery, he
was saluted by most uprorious jeers and
laughter by his fellows. Somo of the party
mounted tlie high nortli tower of tho Institute;

small pieces of tobacco on the parapet. The

as nn.offering to the (Treat Spirit, and tho Indians
believed that at this height, they were
nearer the Daily than they had ever been before.
On descending, tho Indians hud a
grand war dance in the lecture room.
The remarkable mildness of the season
is :i common theme with the newspapers.
Nothing like it has been experienced for
many year*. Mere, on .Monday, the atmosphere
was disagreeably close, and but tor
the rain, open windows would have been
endurable, if not desirable. Not a particle
of ice has been seen in the rivers or harbor,
and unless we have change soon, it is doubtful
whether the ferry boats will have aiiv
