SITTING BULL.
HU Remarkable Record?A Care?r of !
Bratery and Diplomacy.
A letter from St. Paul, Minn., gives j
the following interesting nc?ount of :
the celebrated Indian Chief, Sitting |
Bull: Fourteen rears ago Sitting Bull i
was a blanket warrior or common Indian '
ontheplains. He was bold and independ-!
cat and despised the whites. When
General Henrv A. Morrow was on the
Missouri river in command of Fort Buford.in
18G9, Sitting Bull first began to
attract attention. Some depredations
were committed and charged on Sitting |
Bull. He denied he had anything to dc j
wun tnein, anuioiu me iruin. .?h ioug
afterward one of Sitting Bull's Indians
was killed by white men, and the chief
became greatly enraged. He said the
killing was murder in cold Mood and
that the Indian had been taken off in
revenge for acts done by others. In this
he was quite right. Sitting Bull then
had but few followers, and nobody cared
for him, his opinions or his dead Indian.
Seeing might made right, he proclaimed
his intention of avenging the
death of his Indian, and General Morrow,
hearing of his threats, sent for
? him. General Morrow was a just man,
and Sitting Bull knew this and returned
him a courteous answer. He was afraid
to come into the fort lest he should be
made a prisoner, but he would come
down on the Missouri, near the fort,
where he would meet General Morrow.
The general went out and saw Sitting
Bull and heard his story, and convinced
that a wrong had been done, "covered"
the dead, or, in other words, piled
blankets and presents on the body until
Sitting Bull was satisfied. The independent
action of Sitting Bull lrew to
him the bold Indians, and he gradually
increased in power as his camp increased
in strength, until he was at the head of
one of the most pow erful bands on the
plains.
He refused to live on a reservation
and went into the wild country, where
he made his camp. He never commit- j
ted depredations and never permitted j
white men to come into his country. He
?. wished simply to be left alone, audi
never asked the government for any
favors. He lived on the Yellowstone :
river and claimed all the land along i
that stream and its tributaries.
In 1875 some white men from Mou- j
tana went down the Yellowstone into j
Sitting Bull's country and built a fort, j
He notified them to leave, but they paid
no attention: then he sent some warriors j
and shut them up in their fort. The ;
iuontamansj "::tca otic 01 ounng
.bull's men, ar.il he responded by kill- j
ing two of them. Then the light began j
in earnest and lasted through November
' and December of 1875 and January,
187G. Sitting Bull had the fort (Pease)
: closely invested, but the Montanians
fought well, though they were but :
SI? forty-seven white men and a negro \
against five hundred Indians.
The fighting had been going on daily !
for almost throe months; six of the j
E, white men had been killed and nine j
' v wounded ; then provisions were running j
low, and the Montauians saw a greater
danger than Sitting Bull's warriors men- j
acing them?starvation. It was then !
; they sent two of their number out of
the fort by night with the hope that
they might reach the settlement and
F make known the desperate situation of
the little garrison These men?Lineas j
jggi McCormack and one whose name has j
been forgotten?after a most perilous
S journey of seventeen days on foot, j
reached Fort Ellis on the twenty-ninth j
of Februarv, 1876, and gave thealarm. :
, The pos'rf*mander at once telegraphed
L?tSe commander.. General |
I Terry; who ordered that the imperiled j
r^jj^m^^^jort Peaae be immediateh^troops

^ ^nH&ry 22, t^ic teltmm cons'/sting oS
i four companies of the Second United
States cavalrv, three companies of Montana
militia 100 friendly Crow In- j
- diaiw. ^
When Sitting Bull heard the troops j
' jrere coming he made haste to send !
word to the commander to come on and ;
* have no fear, for if he was coming to \
1 take the white men away, as he pre.
sumed was the case, he (Sittinc Bulll I
would not fire a gun nor should a head
?'o? **9ck be stolen, as all he desired was !
the white men go away out of
BHjuaprintry and leave him and his people
The writer accompanied that
IMfSnrnnNm its cold winter march and
fcnows how well Sitting Bull kept his
word. The Indians drew off long before
the column reached Fort Pease,
. which it did not until the sixth of
March, 187G.
The garrison was nearly out of prori
visions, but could go out and cut wood j
to keep themselves warm. They had |
not seen an Indian for over a week. The
V? white men were taken out and the
:?? column started back to Montana, but 1
hardly had they gone five miles when a
dense smoke was seen rising in the
' > rear. It was Sitting Bull burning Fort
? Pease and destroying the work of the
invaders of his country. A small force :
of Sioux followed the column at a safu :
-. maiuuue, ujotvij iu uuserve meir move*
"merits and see that they were really i
'-v going out of the country. Not a gun 1
was fired on either side, and on the j
twentieth of March the column, with ;
the Fort Pease inmates, reached Fort '
Ellis.
r The alarm had, however, been given, '
. and war declared against Sitting Bull. '
. ?He was given ten days 10 come in and j
surrender; and when he did not obey |
General Crook, from the Department of :
the Platte, General Terry, from the De- j
partment of Dakota, and General Gibeon,
from the District of Montana, were !
uent with heavy columns to invade Sit- j
"?" ting Bull's country, and capture or kill j
him and his people. Tbe writer accom-1
panied Gibbon on his march down the j
Yellowstone. Sitting Bull had gathered !
his people on the Kosebud, and there j
Gibson found him. His camp was seven j
miles long, and contained nearly 8,000 j
souls, 3,000 of whom were warriors and !
the rest women and children. Sitting
Bull offered Gibbon battle, but Gibbon,
who had only f>00 men, saw the contest
would be unequal, and wisely kept on
his own side of the Yellowstone.
Hearing Crook was coming down the
. . Bosebud Sitting Bull moved to the
head of that stream, and met and fought
Crook, checking his advance. He then
returned down the Kosebud and waited
* developments. Hearing that Custer
was coming across the country from
the Missouri, the Sioux chief crossed
over to the Little Big Horn, selected a
strong position, and waited for Custer.
"^v-Jhe rash and unfortunate gener 1, who
had been the hero of scores of oat ties,
found the great Sioux camp on Little
Big Horn, June 25, 1876, impetuously
attacked it and lost his life and all of
his command, as is well known by the
* whole country.
Of the part taken in the great battle
of June 25, 1870, by Sitting Bull, various
accounts have been giwn. Some
writers say he skulked in his tent, and
others that he fought like a demon, personally
leading on the warriors. Neither
are correct. Hitting Bull visited
different parts of the village and directed
the chiefs to got out their warriors
quickly and go to meet Custer.
Some bands'he sent up the valley to
attack Keno, who was coming down,
and others he crossed over the Little
Big Horn to wait for Custer, whom he
<^uld see coming along the ridg-3 to at~
tack the lower end of the village.
Sitting Bull remained on his horse in
the village between the two forces, and
did what any general would have done
on such an occasion?directed the lighting
men.
When asked if he fought personally
in the Custer massacre lie said " Iso
and this was true, but that did not alter
the fact that he was present at the engagement,
was the loading chief and
did direct the movements of the warriors
during the battle. As to who
planned the Custer massacre, there was
no plan about it. Custer came suddenly
down on the village, and when Sitting
* Bull saw the white chief divide his
forces the Indian divided his warriors,
te idihg a portion each way to meet the
white men. When Beno was checked
a'; the upp-jr end of the village Sitting
Bull did send some runners to tell the
Indians in Beno's front, as many of them
as could do so, to come quickly to the
lower end of the village and help fight
Custer, who was coming on rapidly ; but
this was about the only generalship exhibited
during the day by Sitting Bull or
auyone else.
After the action began, as is the ensfoul
with Indians on such occasions,
earh chief acted in a great measure indiiTerently,
doing what he thought was
best to ne done for the success of the
battlo. Hardly had Sitting Bull killed
Ouster, and while he was still -fighting
Beno. when he heard Gibbon was close
? m hi* tear With infantry, cavalry and
^ arilUt*r?. Sitting Bud had formed a
^khigh ettiiiitHlo of Gibbon'# prudence,
fiLk,
*
and a wholesome dread of his "walk a
heaps " aud big guns, and without waiting
to give Gibbon a chance to attack
him, the Sioux chief broke up his vil- ,
lage and fled into the Big Horn moun- i ti
tains. Of the rest of that campaign and 1)
the succcding one in 1n77 1 need not t(
write. Suffice it to sa>",that Sitting Bull, ti
after doing all he could to keep his s
country, was reread to give it up and r
seek refuge under the British Hag. s:

clinging to the sore from early morning j

According to the Rail>ray Xetcs the h
Hudson river tunnel is advaucing satisfactorily
toward the New York shore at
the rate of five feet a day. Two hun- j(
dred men are employed digging out the
dirt and putting in the iron and brickwork.
The tunnel is finished as they
go along, and the work is much safer r<
than under the old plan, which resulted
so disastrously. A small tunnel, about 'J
six feet in diameter, is run ahead of the
larger tunnel, which follows and incloses
it. Warning is thus given of the nature tl
of the soil. The work is now in the tl
south tunnel, which is now completed
200 feet from the shaft, and will soon be c
out as far as the north tunnel, which t<
Las been cleaned out, but not extended, d
since the accident. Both tunnels will
then be carried along together. A caisson
is in course of construction for beI
ginning the work on the New York side, *

Meteors ami Aerolites. c
c
A comparison of all the facts which s
are known respecting shooting-stars, a
detonating meteors and aerolites leads
to the conclusion that they are all minute
bodies revolving like the comets in
orbits about the sun, and are encountered
by the earth in its orbital motion.
The visible path of aerolites i? somewhat
nearer to the earth's surface than
! that of ordinary shooting-stars, a result
! which may be ascribed to their greater
! density, which causes, therefore, greater
| resistance.
j These three classes of bodies exhibit
i alternate periods of maximum and minij
mum abundance, and the times of niaxi|
mum for the several classes correspond
i somewhat with each other, indicating

i others a certain percentage of the unopened
oysters. This latter arrange- 1

swallowed a toad, which swelled Li
greatly. He then crawled near the ju

make stuck his head tlnough the hand

poor toad. Now, to the snake's ama?
nent, he could not move either way,
lie had swallowed a toad on either sii

found a ''rough-haired ctilU^Hlog asleep
n on a rug, and placii>jr?er face close to
1S his head, slie.biew sharply, with a loud
,] shout, ili one of liis ears. Tickled and
1< startled, he jumped up and moved off,
seemingly somewhat offended. In the
^ course of the evening, the lady happened
ie to be reclining in an easy chair, when
( the collie was observed by some of the
j! inmates to rise, and making a circuit, to
,p move stealthily towards the chair put
w his forepaws on one of the arms, and
placing his nose close to the lady's ear,

A Hygienic Hint.
Now that the season of closed windows
and deoxygenating furnaces has arrived,
we wish to direct attention to a point
connected with the management of children,
apparently trivial, perhaps, at first
sight, but which we are persuaded is of
110 small importance in certain constitutional
conditions. We refer to the practice,
very common among children, of
sleeping with their heads buried beneatli
tho bod-clothes, to the exclusion of such
limited supply of fresh air as even a close
room might afford.
Eve n if we do not go quite so far as :
Dr. Maceormack, who asserts thut
phthisic never arises from any other
Cause than breathing "pre-breathed air,"
and that it will be produced by this
cause in persons free from any hereditni-v
hmiK t1ii>rp f.nn lie no doubt that the
mos? certain way to insure the develop- j
ment of this and of other catching mala- i
dies in subjects having a constitutional
tendency thereto, is to permit the repeated
respiration of air already vitiated
by passage through the lungs. When
\ve consider that to fulfill the best conditions
of health a thousand cubic feet
of new air should be supplied every hour
to each person, we shall see how inadequate
is our average indoor winter atmosphere
at its best, and how important
it is that every available atom of oxygen
should be talien advantage of.
To let a child sleep with its face under
an impervious thickness of bed-covering,
is to reduce the interchange of air to a
minimum, and to subject it to an atmosphere
of very few cubic feet, loaded with
carbonic acid and organic exhalations
from its own body, anil becoming more
vitiated with every respiration. We are
convinced that many instances of delicate
health ire due to this circumstance;
and we, at all events, sure that we have
seen marked improvement in several
cases from simply directing the mother
or nurse to see that the bed-clothes ^fere
so arranged that the child's nose and
mouth at least should-be exposed. It is
needless to add that if popular prejudice
can be so far overcome as to have a small
fire in the nursery grate, and an upper
window sasli drawn down, if only a qnarter
of an inch, so as to maintain a comfortable
temperature while promoting
ventilation, still greater benefit will be
derived from the plan we have indicated.
Glass hyes.
A reporter of the Chicago Intw-Ocemi
has been investigating the trade in glass
eyes. From the leading dealer in the
West, a firm which has sold glass eyes
for many years, he learned that there
were as many as a thousand wearers of
them in that city, and that from GOO to
800 eyes are sold" there every year. The
best eyes are made at Uri, in Germany,
the manufacture eeutering at that place
on account of the occurrence there of
line silicates and other minerals needed
in the business. The Gorman eyes withstand
the corrosive action of tears and
other secretions better than those made j
in France.
At Uri are made also vast quantities
of eyes used by taxidermists in mount- i
ing birds, animals, and other natural |
history specimens, besides a superior
quality of glass marbles, known to boys
as agates.
The artificial eye is a delicate shell or !
case, very light and thin, and concave !
so as to lit over what is left of the eye- !
ball. The shell is cut from a hollow j
ball or bubble of glass, the iris is blown j
in, and the whole is delicately recoated. >
The trade in Chicago has undergone a |
curious change. Twenty years ago there j
were sold very many more dark eyes j
than light, but from that period on the !
sale of dark eyes has been perceptibly j
dying out. Now nearly all aro light i
eyes, say twenty light to one dark. In <
Boston the percentage is even larger, j
about thirty-live blue or light eyes to i
one brown; while on the other hand, in I
New Orleans fifty brown or dark eyes j
are sold to one light. Regarding the \
change of color in Chicago of course j
fashion has nothing to do with it. No j
one has yet decreed that party-colored
optics shall be the rage. The change j
simply shows that the influx of population
has been from the East principally j
and from Northern Europe.
Surgical operations are performed
much more skillfully than formerly. I
Time was when it was deemed necessary !
to take out the eye entirely. Then the !
artificial eye became a fixed, glassy, j
staring object. Now amputations of portions
of the eye can be performed in very j
many instances, and the glass eye fitted j
on the stump, which moves quite nat- j
urally.
Sometimes those who have lost an eye j
will keep two or three artificial substi- j
tutes. They will use one lor tlio day-!
light with a small pupil, and another for j
night time with a large pupil to offset |
the dilatation.

Telegraphic Photographs*
A New York correspondent of an In
dianapolis paper tells the following as '
tounding story : Another of the achieve- !
ments of electricity is called "tele? .
graphic photography." The claim o'f,
the inventor is that he can, by a single
flash of electricity, telegraph any amount j
of printed matter simultaneously for a
distance of at least fifty miles. This, in. 1
fact, he claims to have done. Before me, 1
lying on the table where I write, is the J
printed prospectus of a mine, about!
twelve bv fifteen inches, arranged in > '
newspaper columns, and with a displayed j
head over it, and four handsome engravings
illustrating the text. It is a beautiful
print, but apparently in diamond
type so small as to be read with difficulty.
On the other sidej of the table
lies a sheet four times as large, in
brevier or long primer, evidently the
original of the first-named prospectus. 1
" This small one is the telegraphic copy, '
it was telegraphed fifty miles," says my '
friend, who is in the new company. A j
comparison shows that they are precisely i
the same to the most minute particulars,
but the smaller one shows no indication
of an impression, and the man who
brings it, an intelligent person who knows
what ho is talking about, declares
that it was not printed in any sense, but
was, in fact, printed by telegraph. He
also shows me a picture, apparently a
bit of spatter work, a submerged anchor
beautifully entwined and overgrown
with marine flora and corals, and then
he brings anothei exactly like it in size j
and style. They are both apparently !
lithographs, with the strongest light j
auasifade'. '^liere^mTditfteWllill'^t"j1
tweenthem. " One of them is the origi- j
nal," says the man, " and the other, I
cannot tell which, is the telegraphic
copy." He goes on to explain: " The
picture was put in a little box at
one side of the laboratory, and was reproduced
on this paper on the opposite
wall before my eyes. There was only a
wire between, a wire twenty feet long,
say. That is why it is of the same
size. When we telegraph a picture or a
newspaper fifty miles, it becomes much
reduced in size, reduced in proportion
to the distance. It is that the inventor
is now trying to overcome. If it cannot
be overcome by some reversing process,
we shall have to go to the trouble of rephotographing
the matter sent at its
destination, so as to get it back to the
same size."
The "Wrong Wire.
Since the adoption of the new system
of calls by members at the telephone
office many mistakes have occurred on
account of wrong connections, and some
have resulted in amusing conversations.
Friday the telephone bell in a prominent
business house rang and the proprietor
proceeded to attend to tlio sum
mons. A ."emote voice was heard and
the questions following and answers
ensued. "Hello!" "Yes." "What time
are you coming home to supper to-night?"
"Why, I've been to supper." "I'd just
like to know whom you took supper
with?" "Why, with my wife, of course."
"How many wives liave you, anyway?"
"Look here, whom do you think you are
talking with?" "With my husband, Mr.
." "Not much; you are talking to
Mr. ." Upon this the gentleman
heard a scream, which appeared to be
echoed by a number of other ladies in
the same room.?Portland Advertiser.
[Sparta (Wis.) Herald.]
As an exhibition of the intrinsio worth !
of St. Jacobs Oil, we think the case re- I
ferred to. that of Mrs. 0. W. Hubbard, !
of this town, cured of Sciatic Kheumatism,
of long standing,by the Oil, is cer-!
tainly striking, and beyond all doubt
conclusive as to its efficacy. The remedy i
j has our indorsement. |
TlioEiH?)re? ol Am trla.
Although Elizabeth, of Austria, is !
! now an elderly lady, with a son about!
i to be married, she still upon ceremoni- j
| ous occasions wears her beautiful hair J
i hanging loosely over her shoulders. She |
| went to a ball in Vienna not loug ago !
attired in a gown of black velvet, with a
collar of diamonds and pearls, and in her
soft, streaming hair she wore a brilliant
' diadem. The empress' miniature waist
j is said to excite great wonderment and
I admiration. Hands of the ordinary size |
could easily encircle it by connecting '
the two thumbs and middle fingers, yet j
this wasp-like figure is so flexible that its
owner rides with the greatest ease horses I
which many brave men would scarce j
dare to mount.
[St. Louis Chronicle.]
Trial by Jury. j
Some believe that even this form of j
trial is not perfectly free from prejudice, j
But in our section St. Jacobs Oil has
been tried by that great jury?the pub- !
lie?and. been judged the infallible cure j
for rheumatism and all painful diseases.
The composition of which printing !
rollers are made was discovered by a j
Salopian printer. Not being able to |
find the pelt-ball, he inked the type j
with a piece of soft glue which had i
fallen out of a glue-pot. It was such I
an excellent substitute that, after mix-;
ing molasses with the glue, to give the j
mass proper consistency, the old pelt- !
ball wa3 entirely discarded.
Never Return.
It iB said that one out of every four real in- r
valids who go to Denver, Col., to recover health J
never return to the Kant or South except as a
corpse. The undertakers, next to the hotel |
keepers, have the most profitable business, j
This excessive mortality may be prevented and ,
patients served and cured under the care oi I
friends and loved ones at home, if they will but j
use Hop Bitters in time. This we know. See J
other column.
It is a beautiful sight to get up early
iu the morning and see the sun rise, but j
the wise man will continue to lie abed j
until the atmosphere is charged with the j
aronm of the breakfast coffec.

The Last Man's "Stand.'' i
The Times, of Natal, South Africa, I
contains an acconnt, obtained from na- '
;ive sources by Mr. Osborn, the British
Resident in Zululand, of the memorable I
lisaster at Isandlana. The description '
)f the stand made by " the last man"
a full of pathos: He straggled on
md on, retreating higher and higher np
;he hill, till he reached a small cave or
recess in the rocks, into which he crept,
ind with his gun kept off the enemies.
The ground in front of the little cave
which was pointed out to me) falls
iteeply down, and the Zulus, taking advantage
of the rocks and stones scat;ered
about, endeavored, two or three
it a time, to approach and shoot him.
The soldier, however, was very cool and <
vary, and invariably shot every Zulu as ;
10 appeared. He did not blaze away >
lurriedly, but loaded quietly, took deliberate
aim, and "killed a man with
3very shot," till at last, the Zulus being
low very tired, a number of men, good
shots, were brought up with guns, who
lired simultaneously at the unfortunate
nan, and so killed him. a
A correspondent of the Atlanta Con- J
dilution supposes that there are over
twenty papers in this country that pay .
iver $200,000 a year profit?and fifty '
that pay over 8100,000?and one hnnIred
that pay over ?50,000. Stocked at
their capacity to earn dividends as other
properties are, the first class of papers
DUght to be worth ?2,000,000?the sec- j
3nd $1,000,000, and the tliird 8500,000.
