Pagan Iroquois Festivals.

At the Science Congress, in Montreal, | au interesting paper was read by Mrs Erwione Smith om the above subject. The following is the summary : —

‘was that the Great Spirit was the Indian |

coucepti-n of God. About one-half of the Iroquois were nominally Christians, | aud the remainder worshipped according | to certain prescribed forms of the Great — Spirit. Their God was emphatically a God of love, nor could they coniprehend how he could meditate evil to any of his children: '‘Idolators they are not, for theirs was entirely a spiritual and peace- able religion, aud had never yet beer the watchword of a battle. The. anpual, public, national and religious festivals are eight in number. Many of. their practices, such as dancing pastimes and the use of incense are retained. Al- though the Tuscaroras of western New York retain mavy of the old supersti- tious, nope of the ancient festivals are there observed, and barely a trace now remaios of their religious customs. About half cf the Senecas still adhere to Paganism, but it is only among the Oncn- dogas that all the old festivals are strictly observed. ‘The New Year’s festival comes first. At the first new moon the chiefs assemble to call what they term a holy meeting.. A table or bench is placed in the centre cf the circle of chiefs, upon which are placed their strings of Indian wampum, Obe then rises and makes a long speech, in which he introduces the sayings, maxims and teachings of Handsome Lake, who,uearly a century ago, introduced a new form into the Seneca religion. Speeches of this kind lasted for tour days, and during

the following. days confession takes place, and on the seventh day the feather dance is _ performed. The are afterwards divided for

games and feasting, after which gambling and the ceremony of searring witches takes place. The next public ceremony was tapping the maple trees. At the close of the sugar season, followed the maple sugar festival, the soups of which are all seasoned with the newly made sugar. The corn planting festival was very similar to the New Year festival, and lasted seven days. During the Sirawberry season, at a time appoinied, the women proceed to the fields to gather berries, and the great feather dance fol

The Mad says that these facts afford food for reflection: —One hundred years ago the soil of England was owned by 250,000 per suns, fifty years ago by 32,000, and by a much amaller number now. In the State £ New York, in 1875, there were 241,839 farms, and more than 200,000 of these were owned by their occupants. The present d-mand throughout England and Ireland is, that there be more general distribution of Jand, and that parties oecupying estates, either by ownership ur lease, be protected in their rights and peace by a jast and vig- orous law. It is on the boundless plains of the Canadian North-West and on the im- proved farms of Ontario that Haglish farm- ers will find the land which they seek to possess with such earnest purpose.

Of these 27,000,000 were from Europe ; 22,000,006 from America ; 3,000,900 from India ; 500,.- 090 frd on China; 3,775,000 from Australia and New Zealand, and 2 600,000 from Africa.
