On tho afternoon beforo tho morning of tho hunt prayer plumes aro planted on tho route of tho hunt. These prayers nro small whittled sticks notched at one end, with n tuft of feathers bound at the top, planted at intervals of about Til) feet. Tho pretty plumes almost conceal the stick from view, giving it tho appearance of a waving plant. Only feathers of a bright plumage, mainly tho parrot and peacock, aro used. Hlack feathers, as those of tho raven, are never used and would givo tho hunter bad luck. With out feathers for these prayers there would bo uo rabbit hunt, iirayor nlumcs inclosed in aro deposited in tho several nhrines of tho village. The shrine near tho gate of tho Pueblo village is a stouo structure about 11 feet in height, with two chambers. Tho top is covered with a Hat stone, and of course tho shrine faces toward tho rising sun. It is surrounded by tho skulls and bones of animals which had been thrown there tho preceding year as an ollerlng. Each Indian hunter wears around hit neck a fetich, or "luck charm," carved from stouo in tho shape of tho animal he is to hunt. This is mipposcd to not only givo him luck, but also tho craft and cunning of tho animal ho is after. His only weapon is ono very much like tho Australian boomerang. About sundown on tho night before tho rabbit hunt tho town crier goo through tho crooked strcots of tho vil , luge announcing in high C that tho rah , bit hunt will take placo noxt day at sun-' l rise; also that the preliminary rabbit hunt dauco will be held on that oven ! ing at tho hovho of tho chief mediciuo man. The singing during tho so called dance is supposed to so charm tho rabbits that they cannot hear tho approach of the hunters, but should any bo within hear ing distance it would no doubt havo a contrary effect. During this somireli gious ceremonial all smoke tho "sacred" cigarette, which is rolled in corn husks, j This is supposed to blind the bright red eyes of tho wntchful rabbit. i About dark a lire is built near where tho dance is to bo held. It is lighted by sacred lire which is emitted by rubbing two sticks together; otherwiso tho med iciuo man, who is also lamplighter, would be considered ns bringing a curso upon tho villago. The Indians believe that tho lightning rests in the trees, and that when tho sacred llro is wanted it cun only be had by rubbing two sticks together. Tho dancers form in line, fac ing the west. The priest is at the head of the line. He llrst sprinkles the iloor with sacred comment. The lino is in tho shape of a crescent, opening to the east. Ho gives tho word, and all prom enade. An old woman, who does not dance, stands near tho priest and from a basket ornamented with peacock feath ers sprinkles comment upon tho dancers us they pass. Tho chanting is even moro monoto nous. Tho musical instruments are conenvo gourds, over tho opening of which a notched stick is drawn. At tho height of tho festivities tho noise is tho most excruciating imaginable Finally there is a lull, nnd tho come dian gets into tho middle of tike room and imitates the jumping of a rab bit. The dancers wear only girdles around their If.ins. Tho upper part ot tho body is painted a deep red, ono leg yellow, the other white, and the arms ure similarly painted. The dance lasts till midnight. Next morning the hunt ers assemble, and led by the medicine man there is a race to tho placo for the meeting limit. Each rider carries sev eral boomerangs tied to his saddle by . buckskin thongs. Over the broad mesas they charge, hurling with unerring aim and terrible force their strange missile at tho tleeiug rabbits. About sundown the day's hunt is end ed, and tho Indian hunters return to the pueblo with their game dangling from their saddles. At nightfall fires aroseen on tho plain at tho base of the foothills, and tho chanting of women is heard. They havo gathered to welcome their husbands and fathers, and all return to tho pueblo together, singing tho song of tho rabbit hunt. Thoy assemble in front of tho house of tho cazltme, the cluef official of the village, and serenade 1 tit ii with tho song they havo just chanted. Tho hunter who kills a rabbit eats its head, as it is supposed to givo him power to kill others. Tho head is also sprinkled with corumeal. Tho rabbit is roasted in adobo ovens or stowed wholo in earthen jnis with cornmenl. They aro never fried. Why is known only to themselves. I J. M. Scanla.nu. 1 T. T" 7 CAUGHT ON THE WIRE.

March :!(.-( JcnernlTliniti. nH T. l!ckert, tho newly elected president of tho Western Union Telegraph t hi pany, owes his military title, his civil distinction, hia wealth and his success of overy sort cliielly to tho fact that an n young oHrator in tho infancy of tho tol pgrapii ho jMH.sct.st -1 1 tho energy anil o.v ccutivo ability that speedily found him n placo in tho ntlinluistrntivo department of tho business. Perhaps I.Ih giMiius as nn organizer i would not havo brought him tho great nrizes of commercial life had ho not nos- fiessod tho wisdom and public spirit to disregard his own npiiuieut inter ests as a man of southern business j connections and to volunteer his services at tho outbreak of tho civil war to aid , in organizing the military tele graphs of the U n I o n army nrvr.itAi. i.cki:iit. General McClellan, then in coiiiinauil gladly inado the young telegraph sujier Intendent an ald-ile-cainp, and Secretary of War Stanton, who, ns an ambition" and not too sweet tempered young law : yer practicing in C'oluinbiana and other 1 Ohio counties, had known young Eckert at leaUa ilo.en years beforo, was pleased to make him captain and assistant quar- I I termaster. Ho subseuuentlv became as-1 1 slstant secretary of war, with the brevet rank of brigadier general, having mean while attained tho regular rank of major and assistant ('tiiirtcrmastcr. Having performed his Hemlinllltary duties with distinction, Oeneral Eckert , retired from tho public service soon after I thoclosoof tho war, carrying with him into civil lifo tho title by which ho is still known, and devoted himself to tho devel opment of the telegraph in tho United ! States. It may havo been his subxeipient I feat of building 1SI miles of telegraph line between tho adjournment of court 'aSSv . j K-tzr. iiuniiies or i on satuniay atternoon and its reiisMm corn husk" I bllngon Monday morning, under stress of a threatened injunction from his rival, the Western Union, that Hindu the value of his services known to that company. Oenoral Eckert at his desk in tho Western Union building, white haired, but hale, ruddy and carrying well his 113 years, presents n curious contrast to the slender, cnergotic youth in central Ohio whom J. II. Wade, tho early telegraph builder, choso from among his operators to mako a superintendent. "I mil n reticent man, especially about my personal affairs," said General Eck ert, pausing amid tho work of a busy morning in his ofllco to answer a ques tion concerning his own youth and that of tho electric tolegraph. "I was bori at St. Clalrsvillo.O.," ho continued, "but l left there a child in arms, ami was living at Wooster, in that state, when 1 llrst became interested in tho telegraph. I began nsnu operator in 1818 and soon worked into tho executivo department I took to tho telegraph business not as a youth looking about for something to do, but because it had interested me. I had watched tho passage through congress of the legislation asked in the interest of Professor Morse and learned operating ns it was then done. "In 1810 I was appointed jiostniastor nt Wooster, nnd I believe," ho added with a smile, "that 1 was tho very llrst man in tho United States to hold tho joint olllces of postmaster and tolegraph oper ator. Wo were not very well paid in those days. My salary as operator was just $10 n month. As superintendent it was not much better in fact, I think only $r0 a month but in those days the president of tho telegraph company re ceived no compensation for his services. "It was in 18.12 that Mr. Wado made mo ono of his superintendents. There were only tlirco or four superintendents in the United States then, and all the lines wero east of the Mississippi, protty far east. Tho chief lino was that from Pittsburg to Chicago. Fast ojierating was then unknown, and everybody read by tape. Tho business wns now and un known to those engaged in it. Every body had to dig in and learn for him self. Some men who remained opera tors longer than I did mado experiments , in tho lino of their work. By 185.1 there wero a few sound readers. As tho knowlego of sound reading grow the ' other was gradually abandoned until only sound readers could hold good places. Operators learned the peculiari ties of tho business, sound reading in cluded, gradually and tentatively, almost ns children learn to talk. "Yes," pursued General Eckert in an swer to a question, "tho war developed the telegraph as a business and as an art. When I took charge of tho military tele graphs of tho Union army, I got all the best operators I could find throughout tho north, but tho demand was far be yond tho supply, and I had to accept somo who wero far from skillful. Most of my assistants havo since been highly successful men. It is not true, however, that tho money order system now so largo n feature of the telegraph business originated during tho war. 1 knew of telegraphic mouey orders long before tho outbreak of tho war. As I recollect, Em ory Cobb, then superintendent at Chi- ' cago, was tho first man to send tele graphic money orders. I don't recall the date of tho first, but the company did not adopt tho system until lb70. Mr. I Cobb sent money orders by private ar rangement with tho sender, as the com pany was not yot reany to assume the le sponsibility for the business. As to th- growth of that branch and of other things in the telegraph business in !!."i years, tho story is told in the llgures of our annual rejwrt. One of our former superintendents has mado a book of it." Epwaiu) N. Vali.aniioham.
