Hole in the Day.

This celebrated Indian Brave, we are informed by Major Cullen, has built him a “gay old house” on his reserved six hundred acres at Crow Wings, on the Mississippi. The house has cost some six thousand dollars in gold, and is nearly surrounded by a piazza. The old Chief is living with six wives in all the splendor of a Mormon Bishop. His parlor is furnished with seventeen rocking chairs, while the walls are hung with eight large portraits, seven of which represent himself and the other Major Cullen! Three of his wives are old like himself, and the other three young and beautiful! .They live like “white folks,” all set at the same table, and have the best china and coffee sets for every day use. The old man has over one hundred acres of his reservation under cultivation, which brings forth bountifully. His wives work a large garden well stocked with flowers.— Lacrosse {Wis.) Union.
