THE FIRST KlfJUT EN A NElV COUNTRY.
NEW HOUSES AM) STRANGE
INDIANS.
Wc lint Leon itttbra-.ed in New York
that there v.'.ire fi-xteen too J hotiios and
four stores, a hotel, and all wc "wanted,"
in our new towa.
We found two Ior sliauties with dirt
roof and i;ur:c!;eon'' floors, one frame
builJiti, (;i trading' post), and a chell for
a hotel without any roof on it. We
wanted aooo of it, bt:t we Ii:tu to accept
the faitttat'.on, as the "Omahti" It-ft nest
uicrtiin;:, and never another boat or
arn Lody else but ourselves did wo sea
for fix long weeks.
Araon,j this crowd were Dj:tor
Thompson, (l'ierce's asent), Charley
I'orur, John Katusajer, John McMur-
phy, James Thompson and icife, acd
some others whose names I forget nine
persons in ail. We found Sum. Lord,
Lob l'ercival (now of Council Diuff-1,
Willi-mns, and Harry Owens on the
ground, who welcome J us heartily with
ail they had, but that wis "powerful"
little, and powerless to comfort our bro
ken hearts and disappointed espceta
tions. EE'SMesj carpy s .store, tdtftuent.
Lambert, a Freaihman, owae.l one of
the lopr shanties above uir-ntioned, and
John Chc-e (known as "old man C'taso")
the other. Both were "traders" with
the Indians. Lambert, at that time.
not very partial to the "Sucre venter
lieu YASKEKS," a ho called us and
made a great deal of fun at our "biled
hirts,' and paper collar j. lie dubbed
us the "New York paper cfllar aristnc

joke upon us. We Locarno batter

trading post politics cf tho 'American !

ruh'd thi.s county- with an iron hand.
Uut wo had a lady among u?. an 1 wc
must fix a place for her. A hou-e had
been built ia f't. L-uis and shipped up
on the boat we had that much s.'nse.
'Old man Chase" was gona away, and
t?ara. Iyrd ororse.l doora to ut. A
lanket or two was stretched nros.s one
corner fjr Jitn and his wife, and ih-j rest
f uscamwod down on the "puncheons."
A few r-hiwls, a blanket, and some old
ieces of carpeting which had been
roa.Jit aloti?, wrapped around ma
hincry, sexved for "feathers," while we
slept our fir-t sleep by the banks of the
Missouri.
Oh, how homesick I was. that nli;ht.
Few of the party had over cooked a
meal of victuals, or slept in anything
but a dean, white bed, male by wo
man's care, or ate tuT anything e mmo:-
cr tV.an f-'ood w bite ware. I 'irty blank
et.-', tin pi.itc-s, spoiieil cgffs, and dry
crackfirs were sT.mewhat cf a change
and I, beinr the youngest of the parly,
turned over and cried a knothole in l'uo
puncheons full of tt'ars.
Next tiiortiutff we "packed" the hou-e
upon our shoulders, and before nitjht
had a place for tho man an his wife.
We "ba?hs" continued to slo.ep in the
Ch-tM n-.aai;n, but ate over at Thomp-

First the Indians annoyed her ; at that
tim-i they had not toe mast rem ite
idea ot privia, or tue sanctity ot a
man's dwelling. Ail the houses th:-y
had fcen belonging to white men, were
trading josts open to all, their own wig
wams contained from eight to ten families,
and all are more or less common proper
ty, so that by habit and usage they
thought they had a right to march plump
into any house, and s juat down on the
floor to smoke if they chose to.
Then all our ways and hab't3 wero a
curiosity; they would pic-v up every
coV.;ing utensil, examine her clothes,
atid if she shut the door, would flatten
tlteir nose against the window panes for
hours and watch her work. The souaws

kept uard over all of us during meal
times to see how wc ate

over the prairies &nd came Loi';e with
such appetites ts completely overrow

was mostly potatoes and bread, and more
and more had she cooked, and yet we
cleaned the j latter and looked hungry

P omen r crc a rarity m thos-e days, and
ciety, anl perhaps a Intlo from pure
cusseuness," a state of society grew
up that, except the houses, would rival
j any old baronial ball in England, before
the conquest, for featiDg and famine :
j for carousing and gaming ; or for pure
dare-devil adventures of strength or
skill.
Everybody drank, almost, and the
store soon became headquarters for ell
manner of practical j-kinsr, and some
times more serious .-.Hi a vs. Mock duels
were common, and were one man's espe
cial delL'ht. The charges of ball were
carefully with Ira wn, and then the com
batants, fired with wrath and "sod corn,'
wer? placed in po-i'ion with all due care
and forin'ility. All tho usual practices
were observed ts give it efTect and dan
Eerous as these games were, it Was
amusing to observe the effect on differ
eot constitution.-? of the supposed near
approach of death. Soma fang wildly,
Others crowed and braved" it out. They
g n?ra!!y fired wii i, and would not have
hit the side of a housa any way. One
iel.ow. truiv impressed that ne was
about to bo s-hot at, dropped his pistol
in abject terror, and fell on his knees.-
Jlis career iu that part cf the country
was ended.

the result was that we happened to get

We were halt a mile above the Au-

paper in the sr rate detr tritely walked
up to it and laid down before it, curled
up in the r o-t way to receive tho glow

remained motionless for a few minute ;
fueling no warmth he raised his head
an 1 io'okedoy .T his shoulder at the grate;
Mill b;e!:ng no heat, ho arose and care
fully applied his nose to the grat and
smelt of it. It wai as col l as ico. With a
tank of the most supreme disgust, his
tail curled down between his legs, erp
