Philadelphia Times. The Sun Dakce. A letter received at the" Interior Department, Washington, from Dr. T. Woodbridge, physician at Fort Peck agency, gives a minute description! of the sun dance as given by thej Sioux, near Pop lar river, Montana Territory, a fortnight ago. About five thousand Indians were present, and the performace was kept up 26 conseccutive hours, during which the In dians feasted on 40 dogs, large quantities of buffalo meat, and in fact, "all the delica cies of the season," while the participants in the dance subjected t lemselves to, the most horrible varieties of torture, such as having buffalo heads suspended from slits cut in their flesh, the weight of which con stantly increased the laceration. Some of the braves' fainted under! the torture and many had from 50 to 200 pieces cut out of living, flesh. Others again were held to stakes, about which they" were forced ,to dance, by cords fastened to their backs. The performance lasted all night and was varied by occasional prayers to the Great t-Spirit, said with their faces on the buffalo robes, tor success at the chase. The : dance took place in a sort of a j theatre or arena 159' feet in diameter, and enclosed by pop lar and willow branches. TheIjIPROVED COXDITION OF MEMPHIS.

A judicious incident occurred, one season, at " Woodlawu," on the Bloom- ingdale road. Joues hotel, of that place, is ornamented with a hostler whose fun is as fearless as li is face is ugly. One day in July, while twen ty or thirty fast gentlemen were standing in the front balcony of the hotel, an individual rode up tlie path uu uie iiuunesc uorse mortal eyes ever looked upon. , Leaping from his phantom steed, the equestrian said timing to the hostler : 'Here, John, give my horse some 'Sir !' said John, with a look of as tonishment. 'Give my horse some water I' thun dered the stranger. II ' Your horse !" ejaculated John, still more surprised. 'les, you fool: my horse!' and the stranger looked savagely at him, and comniencedAlra wing the lash of his vhip through his hand. u i John walked toward, him as though he would lemand an explanation, and had taken about six steps, when he suddenly stopped as one surprised beyond expression : 'Bless my soul I says he, 'I ax your pardon, sir; but your hauimal was a standin' on a line with that 'ere hitching post, and I didn't see him.' The owner of the spectral beast tried to frown, but a roar from the balcony made hini change his miud. He Agreed. A lady who want ed a dozen of eggs fresh from the country was among the farm ers' wagons at the market, and the sight of a small bundle of grass in one of the vehicles, at once arous ed all the sentiment in her nature. Snuffing at a handful of it she said to the farmer: 'The country must be beautiful these spring morning.' 'Yes, so she is,' slowly replied, fcoming in this morning I two wagons stuck in a mud-hole, a dead horse and inor'n fifty crows.' 'These sunrises must be beautiful out there,' she continued.
