SITTING BULL. HU Remarkable of Bratery and Diplomacy. A letter from St. Paul, gives the following interesting 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 wun tnein, anuioiu me iruin. 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- ted depredations and never permitted 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- tana went down the Yellowstone into Sitting Bull's country and built a fort, He notified them to leave, but they paid no attention: then he sent some warriors and shut them up in their fort. The iuontamansj otic 01 ounng men, ar.il he responded by kill- ing two of them. Then the light began 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 white men had been killed and nine wounded then provisions were running low, and the Montauians saw a greater danger than Sitting Bull's warriors men- acing 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 make known the desperate situation of the little garrison These jggi McCormack and one whose name has been a most perilous journey of seventeen days on foot, reached Fort Ellis on the twenty-ninth of Februarv, 1876, and gave thealarm. The at once telegraphed General I Terry; who ordered that the imperiled Peaae be were on the march by i 22, teltmm oS i four companies of the Second United States cavalrv, three companies of Montana militia 100 friendly Crow In- diaiw. When Sitting Bull heard the troops 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 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 to keep themselves warm. They had not seen an Indian for over a week. The 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 "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 twentieth of March the column, with the Fort Pease inmates, reached Fort Ellis. The alarm had, however, been given, and war declared against Sitting Bull. was given ten days 10 come in and surrender; and when he did not obey General Crook, from the Department of the Platte, General Terry, from the De- partment of Dakota, and General Gibeon, from the District of Montana, were uent with heavy columns to invade Sit- ting Bull's country, and capture or kill him and his people. Tbe writer accom-1 panied Gibbon on his march down the Yellowstone.

Sitting Bull had gathered his people on the Kosebud, and there Gibson found him. His camp was seven miles long, and contained nearly 8,000 souls, 3,000 of whom were warriors and the rest women and children. Sitting Bull offered Gibbon battle, but Gibbon, who had only 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. 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 see coming along the ridg-3 to 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 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 tear With infantry, cavalry and Sitting Bud had formed a ettiiiitHlo of 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 Sitting Bull, ti after doing all he could to keep his country, was reread to give it up and seek refuge under the British Hag. TD1ELY TOPICS. The Indian government has at last closed up its accounts for the Afghan war, and thev reach the round sum of $100,000,000) or $70,000,000 more than the highest estimate, and 885,000,000 more than the estimate made by Lord Tti.lio The result shows a deplorable weakness 1 or else deplorable knavery in financial a management. Ten years ago tlie center of the popu- 0 lation of the United States was about foriy-eight miles east of Cincinnati, Ohio.

The superintendent of the late census announces that the growth of 11 tlie Great West during the past ilecade carried the center of population about fifty miles west, while the the large in- 1 crease in the Southern States earned it a little southward.

A man who was bitten by a mad pig near Tecumseh, traveled the way to Savannah, to try the famous mad stone owned by old Uncle John Nelson.

a According to the Xetcs the 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 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 out as far as the north tunnel, which Las been cleaned out, but not extended, 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. A comparison of all the facts which 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 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.

These three classes of bodies exhibit i alternate periods of maximum and minij mum abundance, and the times of mum for the several classes correspond i somewhat with each other, indicating ii uittt ijifac mc wmxivu ah ami the three classes of bodies five grouped in a somewhat similar milliner. i The August meteors move in orbits i which reqni. more than a century to complete, and comprehend bodies dift'er! ing greatly in size and probably ulsy in density. Their magnitudes range from comets whose diameter is perhaps (HK) miles to minute atoms, which, in a single second, are dissipated by the heat 1 resulting from their collision with our 1 i atmosphere. Their density ranges from that of metallic iron to earthy bodies having but feeble cohesion, which are I dissipated into fine dust by the heat of I collision with our atmosphere und it is 1 possible that the rarest of them may consist of solid or liquid matter in a 1 i state of minute subdivision, like a cloud of dnst or smoke.

i The periodic meteors of November probably comprehend bodies having an equal range of magnitude, and perhaps also of Lftmtis. Oyster Divers in India. A writer upon India and its affairs I writes in the Boston Bulletin: Most, of 1 the divers are trained to their business 1 from childhood. They enter the water, as a general thing, unarmed and entirely naked, having only a net bag about their 1 I necks in which to put the oysters. One 1 i minute and a half to three minutes is i the usual length of time which they re- main beneath the surface.

The men are paid according to the number of oysters which they catch, they in some cases re- cciving a certain sum of money and in i others a certain percentage of the unopened oysters. This latter arrange- 1 mcnt usually pays them best in the end, i but they, poor things, prefer to receive definite amount even though it may be but a pittance, rather thun run the risk of receiving a larger sum with the 5 possibility of obtaining nothing. 1 1 The aggregate single issue of the i newspapers and periodicals of the United 1 States and Oanadu is about 20,700,000 1 copies, or about one copy to every wot and a half persons. 1 FOR THE FAlB SEX.

Fifty or more sparrows had gathered in a circle over and aronnd the body of a dead sparrow stretched out I on a board, which had apparently fallen dead or been accidentally killed. They i were giving voice to their grief by cries of distress utterly unlike their usually gossipy chattering or quarreling. Final- ly a large sparrow darted down from the i i- group, picked up the dead sparrow by the neck with liis bill, spread his wings and flew away over the house roofs with I the burden until he disappeared from i le i sight.

Letters from Tunis report that the sudden death of tho greatest saint in i that city, Sheik el Mochsen, has caused i-1 universal regret. Sheik el Mochsen i belonged to a family sacred to Mnssul- mans, and was a direct descendent of tho prophet. During his lifetime he scarcely ever left tho quarter in which n.

he lived. He slept on the roof of his ill house, and refused tho gifts constantly i sent him bv the neighboring Arabs, I contenting himself with tlie simplest je i fare. He wore nothing but ft woolen ie shirt, and always went bareheaded. He spoko rarely. His mania was to demol ifih houses.

It is I for a man to be blind when it is desired that ho should open his eyes, dumb whenever words would be acceptable, deaf to all allurements or submission, i insensible to every effort at conciliation. It can create gloom, and having created lie it, it can perpetuate and deepen until it becomes a clinging atmosphere as nnj wholesome as malaria. It comprehends an absolute control over the facial cles, so that no softness or sign of vieldlc ing, not a ripple of a smile or an expression of pleasure, may replace even for a moment the sullen apathy or illuminate the habitual scowl of the con- firmed sulker. In a word, it is the faculty of simulation to such a degree ls that a person shall appear to be blind, deaf, dumb, stupid, paralyzed, ill or ul dead, whenever and for as long as he chooses. What better illustration of s' I misdirected energy can be given than that shown by the sulky person.

Ho fell by tho hands of impious murderers who had repeatedly sought his precious life, and made 1heir attempts because they saw in him the proteqtor of Russia, the foundation of her greatness, and tho promoter of the welfare of tho Russian people. Lot ns bow to tho unfathomable will of Divine Providence, and offer up to the Almighty our prayers for the reposo of the pure soul of our beloved father. Wo ascend the throno which we inherit from our forefathers, the throne of tho Russian empire, and the czardom aud grand dukedom inseparably connected with it.

Wo assume tho heavy burden which God has imposed upon us, with firm reliance upon His Almighty help. May Ho bless our work to tho welfare of our beloved fatherland, and may IIo guido our strength for tho happiness of all our subjects. In repeating before Almighty God tho sacred vow made by our father to devote, according to tho testament of our forefathers, the whole of our life to care for the welfare anct honor of Russia wo call upon all our faithful subjects to unite, before the altar of the Almighty their prayers with ours, aud commend them to surer fidelity to us and to our successor, Imperial Highness tho hereditary Grand Duke Nicolai Alexandrovitch."

Semite Special Session. Mr. Pendleton calle-'d np the resolution providing for tho reorganization of the Senate committees. Tlio resolution having boon read Mr. Colliding reserved nil points of order thereon.

Mr. Davis, Illinois, made a speech declining tho chairmanship of the judiciary committee and declaring himself an Independent, owing nothing to Republicans or Democrats, but asserting that he would voto with the latter for reorganization. He moved to substitute tho name of Mr. Garland as chairman of the judiciary committee. Conkling raised the point of order tluat the resolution was not now in order.

It changed a rule of tho Senate, and notice of tho intended change must bo given in writing and laid over one day undoi tho rules.

Laid upon the table for future action. 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 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 f.nn lie no doubt that the mos? certain way to insure the develop- 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 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 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 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 ball or bubble of glass, the iris is blown in, and the whole is delicately recoated. The trade in Chicago has undergone a curious change. Twenty years ago there were sold very many more dark eyes than light, but from that period on the sale of dark eyes has been perceptibly dying out. Now nearly all aro light i eyes, say twenty light to one dark. In Boston the percentage is even larger, 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 are sold to one light.

Regarding the change of color in Chicago of course fashion has nothing to do with it. No one has yet decreed that party-colored optics shall be the rage. The change simply shows that the influx of population has been from the East principally 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, staring object. Now amputations of portions of the eye can be performed in very many instances, and the glass eye fitted on the stump, which moves quite nat- urally. Sometimes those who have lost an eye will keep two or three artificial substi- tutes. They will use one lor tlio day-! light with a small pupil, and another for night time with a large pupil to offset the dilatation.

Bull's Cough 8yrup; it hae ao taperior. I Telegraphic 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 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 printed prospectus of a mine, about! twelve bv fifteen inches, arranged in newspaper columns, and with a displayed 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 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 and style.

They are both apparently lithographs, with the strongest light auasifade'. tweenthem. One of them is the origi- 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 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 Advertiser. (Wis.) As an exhibition of the intrinsio worth of St.

Hands of the ordinary size could easily encircle it by connecting the two thumbs and middle fingers, yet this wasp-like figure is so flexible that its owner rides with the greatest ease horses I which many brave men would scarce dare to mount.
