INDIAN MANNERS. ---In passing down the outlet of the Red Cedar Lake we, soon after leaving our guides, met three canoes at short distancesapart, two of which had a little boy in each end, and the third an oldwoman and child. We next met a Chippewa with his wife and child on thebanks. They had landed from a canoe, evidently in fear, but, learningour character, embarked and followed us to Rice Lake. The woman had herhair hanging loose about her head, and not clubbed up in the usualfashion. I aske...d, and understood in reply, that this was a fashionpeculiar to a band of Chippewas who live north of Rice Lake. On cominginto Rice Lake we found the whole area of it, except a channel, coveredwith wild rice not yet ripe. We here met a number of boys and girls in acanoe, who, on seeing us, put ashore and fled in the utmost trepidationinto the tall grasses and hid themselves. RICE LAKE, or MONOMINEKANING. --As we came in sight of the village, everycanoe was put in the best trim for display. The flags were hoisted; themilitary canoes paid all possible devotion to Mars.
