day on the hills, and in the fields on the banks
of the Patapsco.

We were told that they spent a part of the
day seated upon the rocks, contemplating the
scenery before them; they were afterwards at-
tracted to a point where hickory nuts and per-
simmons were abundant, and the Chief was seen
climbing the trees, and gathering the persim-
mons and nuts, and throwing them down to his
wife, who seemed fond of them. Thus, they had
passed the day, and looked refreshed thereby.

Both Marpau

and the Raven, whilst on their
journey, were careful to present themselves, on
all occasions, where there was a chance of their
being seen, painted and adorned in their most
approved style. Thus, while in Washington
and Baltimore, although in comparative retire-
ment, as he did not go out, Marpau was said to
spend two or three hours daily, in the duties of
the toilet, painting his face, dressing his hair,
and arranging his appearance, by a small mirror,
held up before him by his wife, who stood near him
for the purpose, pronouncing occasionally on the
effect produced, and giving instructions. Similar
attentions were conferred by the wife of the
Raven on her husband, but as he was of lower
rank, and rather older than Marpau, his toilet
was less elaborate, and occupied less time.

The next day after this ramble, the Potawo-
tamies

all went together to visit the places where
Marpau and his wife had walked the day before.
