Head-dresses tastefully wrought in the shape of the crowning bays of the ancients, and composed of the gorgeous feathers of the most splendid of the forest birds bows and quivers handsomely, and even elegantly ornamented with that most tasteful of Indian decorations, the stained quill of the porcupine; war clubs of massive iron wood, their handles covered with stained horsehair and feathers curiously mingled together machecotis, hunting coats, mocassins, and leggings, all worked in porcupine quill, and fancifully arranged, these, with many others, had been called into requisition to bedeck and relieve the otherwise rude and naked walls of the apartment.
