In the midst of my grief, with my little family around me, with my collection still open, and my lease for the Salle Valentino not yet expired, there suddenly arrived from London a party of eleven _Ojibbeway Indians_, from the region of Lake Huron, in Upper Canada, who had been brought to England by a Canadian, but had since been under the management of a young man from the city of London. They had heard of the great success of the Ioways in Paris, and also of their sudden departure, and were easily prevailed upon to make a visit there. On their arrival, I entered into the same arrangement with them that I had with the two former parties, agreeing with the young man who had charge of them to receive them into my collection, sharing the expenses and receipts as I had done before; he being obligated to pay the Indians a certain sum per month, and bound to return them to London, from whence they came, at his own expense. As my collection was all arranged and prepared, I thought such an arrangement calculated to promote their interest and my own, and in a few days their arrival and exhibitions were announced, they having been quartered in the same apartments which had been occupied by the Ioways before them. [Illustration: N^o. 18.] The following are the names of the party, with their respective ages given (see _Plate No. 18_):-- Age. 1. _Maun-gua-daus_ (a Great Hero)--Chief 41 2. _Say-say-gon_ (the Hail-Storm) 31 3. _Ke-che-us-sin_ (the Strong Rock) 27 4. _Mush-she-mong_ (the King of the Loons) 25 5. _Au-nim-muck-kwah-um_ (the Tempest Bird) 20 6. _A-wun-ne-wa-be_ (the Bird of Thunder) 19 7. _Wau-bud-dick_ (the Elk) 18 8. _U-je-jock_ (the Pelican) 10 9. _Noo-din-no-kay_ (the Furious Storm) 4 10. _Min-nis-sin-noo_ (a Brave Warrior) 3 11. _Uh-wus-sig-gee-zigh-gook-kway_ (Woman of the Upper World)--wife of Chief 38 12. _Pappoose_--born in the Salle Valentino. The chief of this party, _Maun-gua-daus_, was a remarkably fine man, both in his personal appearance and intellectual faculties. He was a half-caste, and, speaking the English language tolerably well, acted as chief and interpreter of the party. The War-chief, _Say-say-gon_, was also a fine and intelligent Indian, full-blooded, and spoke no English. The several younger men were generally good-looking, and exceedingly supple and active, giving great life and excitement to their dances. In personal appearance the party, taken all together, was less interesting than that of the Ioways, yet, at the same time, their dances and other amusements were equally, if not more spirited and beautiful than those of their predecessors.
