SITTIMJ BULL.
Thn llodnnhtnbl Indian Chief Described
lie mRM a ppfwh.
Dnrinp: the trip down the Missonri
by Cepfain Jioyton, in hia rubber suit,
find a New York Herald correspondent
in a oanoo, they landed at Fortliandall,
where Sitting Hull is encamped, a
prisoner, lhe Herald correspondent
writes :
After breakfast we went to the hostile
camp in company with an officer. The
camp is about a mile distant from the
garrison, and is situated on pleasant
ptretch of level RTonnd. There are
thirty-two tepees in all, which accom
modate ICS people, forty of whom are
males over sixteen years of apre and the
rest women and children. The tepees
are arranged in a circle, with a large
Ppaoe in the center, around which
braves, squaws and almost nude chil
dren squatted and lay in the sunlight.
As we approached tbe camp we could
see a solitary white man standing in
front of a tepee. lie was dressed in a
dark pair of pantaloons, brown duck
overcoat, and his head was surmounted
by a large broad-brimmed drab felt hat,
with an enormous dinge in each side of
it. It was Allison, the army scout, who
entered the hostile camp last year and
brought in the main body of the Sioux
warriors led by Crow King. The scout
is a medium-sized man. but is com
pactly and strongly built. He has a
peculiar expression of shrewdness on
liis face and his eyes are keen and
searching.
" Hello, gentlemen P'he cried, at the
same time saluting the officer, " I sup
pose you have come to see the old
man." As he said this, Allison jerked
his thumb over his shoulder toward a
group of braves seated near a large
lodge. At that moment one of the
gToup arose and turned toward ns.
The admonition of our companions was
cot needed, for the dignified expression
which the painted features assumed, the
deference of the surrounding savages
and the graciously outstretched hand
told ns we were in the presence of the
dreaded Uncapapa chief. Whatever
may be said of Sitting Bull, he cer
tainly has the appearance of a man born
to lead men. He is five feet ten inches
in heiffht, and weighs, I suppose, about
a hundred and eighty pounds. His
face is an unusually intelligent one and
his forehead large. His nose is promi
nent and tends to broadness, and his
chin is well shaped. He has none of
the impudent swagger of Gall, or the
treacherous expression which distin
guishes Low Dog and Rain-in-the-.
Face. Sitting Bull is dignified yet
modest withal, and after examining
our faces closely he cast his dark eyes
on the ground and invited ns into his
tepee, aod led the way himself. One
after another we crawled through the
covered hole which serves as a door to
the lodge, and seated ourselves on the
going around some burning twigs, the
chief occupying the head of the circle.
A number of Indians entered the tent
at the request of Sitting Bull. Among
them was one of the chiefs two fighting
nephews, Kill-While-Standing. He was
an intelligent-looking young man and
wore a pair of eyeglasses, whioh gave
him a student-like appearance. The
two wives of the household shook hands
with every one present and paraded
several half naked and very dirty chil
dren, the heirs and scions of the Bull
family. When Allison told Sitting Bull
that a correspondent of the Herald was
present, and that he could speak to the
American people if he wished, the chief
shook me by the hand several times and
Raid he was glad of it. He said he was
a prisoner of war and wanted to see the
President in order to arrange a future
for himself and his people. "I will tell
you," ho said, "exactly what I intend
, to say to the President if I am allowed
to visit Washington." Sitting Bull then
filled his pipe and did not speak until
several Indians had taken a puff or two.
Then he raised his hand, and with a
. solemn expression began.
"I have lived a good while and seen
a great deal, and I have always had a
( reason for everything I have done.
Every act of my life has had an object
in view, and no man can say I have
neglected to think. I am one of the
last generation of independent Sioux
chiefs, and before me the position I oc
cupy belonged to my ancestors. If I
had no place in the world I would not
be here, and the fact of my existence
entitles to the right of exercising what
ever influence I possess, for I am sat
isfied I was created for a purpose.
When I went across the line into Can
ada I did not give np my title to my
country, but fled before troops. I could
not help myself and yielded to a supe
rior force, although I knew I had a
right to stay in the United States.
Ever since have been trying to come
. to a better understanding with the Brit
ish and American governments. I
heard good words from both and then I
shook hands. I held the British gov
ernment by one hand and the Great
l ather by the other. 1 inally I deter
rained to come over to this side and
lead my people back to their native
soil. I want the President to put me
and all the people who were on the
warpath with me on a separate reserva
tion on the Grand river, Bome distance
from the Missouri, and there we will
learn to live like white men. I want to
put my young men to work so that they
can raise a good crop next year, and
he sooner they commenoe the better.
'In my act of surrendering I con
sider that I have wiped the blood from
my hands and washed myself entirely
of the past. From this time forward I
am determined to lead a different and
better life in full accordance with the
wishes of the government. I consider
the Sioux as all one people, and I want
them all to be happy, even those who
refused to join me on the warpath. It is
my intention to improve their condi
tion as much as possible. I have no
objection to the occupation of our re
servation by white men as the other
hioux nave. In fact, I would rattier
Tave them come and live among us.
t he country is being settled anyway,
and if the whites mingle with us my
leople can learn their ways more
rapidly than if they were isolated by
themselves. I have even learned that
the army is a good thing and will pro--ot
us as it dots the whites. When I
e in I expected to see the Pm -
and make a treaty of pence, but, inat as
my hopes wore almost realized, the
President was shot. Although I wanted
to see him I could not, and when be
died I felt very bad. I was sorry for
him and sorry for my people, for it in
terfered with my plans. Now we have
a new President and my heart goes out
to him. I want to stand face to face
with him and say that I am at peace and
will do right always. My people are
destitute of everything, and, although
we are willing, we have nothing to farm
with. It is necessary that work should
be commenced at once, and that is my
reason for being in haste to see the head
of the government. It is a well known
fact that I have always tried to excel
the other Sioux tribes in everything, and
I believe I can make my men better
farmers and steadier workers than other
Indians in North America. They are
the most persevering and intelligent of
their race. You see how thev followed
me and starved themselves ? Well, they
will be just as earnest in the other
direction if they get a chance. White
men have told me about schools for in
strnctinar vounar men in the riiflVrpnt
trades, and I am anxious that my peo
ple should have the benefit of such an
institution."
"Do you think you have influence
enough left since your surrender to
lead the hostiles ?" I inquired.
" They would only be too glad to fol
low me, was the reply. " Give me a
reservation and I promise that all my
people will dress in white men's clothes
and ive up their savage life entirely."
" Do you think the Indians can ever
be citizens of the United States ?"
" My idea is to prepare them for citi
zenship. It must come slowly, but I
may live to see some of my young peo
ple citizens yet. I have little influence
now, because I am helpless, but I
promise a complete reform in the Sioux
people if the government will aid me."
When Hitting Bull had ceased speak
ing, Allison assured me that the chief
was in earnest and would prove cf frreat
service to the country if allowed to
visit Washington and get an idea of the
power of the government.
"Working Teople" In Xew England
Fifty Years Ago.
When we talk about " the working
classes," we are using very modern
language, which those who formed the
great mass of the population forty or
fifty years ago would have found it dif
ficult to understand. The term "work
ing people" was then seldom used, be
cause everybody worked. The minister
and the doctor had usually worked with
their hands to defray their college ex
penses, and they often continued their
labors afterward to eke out a scanty in
come.
The mistress of a family did her own
sewing and housework, or. if it was too
much for her, called in a neighbor or a
relative as "help. Young girls were
glad of en opportunity t- earn money
for themselves in this way, or by means
cf any handicraft they could learn, or
by teaching the district school through
the summer months; all these employ
ments being considered equally respect
able. The children of that generation
were brought up to endure hardness.
They expected to make something of
themselves and of life, but not easily,
not without constant exertion. The
energy and the earnestness through
which their fathers had subdued the
savage forcos of nature on this con
tinent still lingered in the air,' a moral
exhilaration.
Children born half a century ago grew
up penetrated through every fiber of
thought with the idea that idleness is
disgrace. It was taught with the alpha-
Dec and tne spelling book; it was en
forced by precept and example at home
and abroad, and it is to bo confessed
that it did sometimes haunt the child
ish imagination almost mercilessly. I
know that Dr. Watts'
'How doth the little busy bee
Improve eacE shining hour,"
and King Solomon's "Go the ant, thou
sluggard, and be wise," filled
one child's mind with a dislike of bees
and ants that amounted almost to
hatred; they ran and flew and buzzed
about her like accusing spirit's that left
her no peace, in her beautiful day
dreams. It was a great relief to see a
bee loiter around the flowers, as if he
enjoyed the lazy motion. As for the
ants those little black pagans they
overdid the business by working just as
hard on Sundays as on any other day,
It surely was" not proper to follow their
example I Atlantic Monthly.
A Gas Well.
While some drillers near Sarnia.
Ont., were boring for oil recently, they
were astonished to find that a huge vol
ume of gas was escaping from the well.
The gas was accidentally ignited by t he
torch of a man twenty-five feet from
the well, according to a local paper, and
the flames, which are decribed as "vivid
and silvery," leaped to a height of
thirty ieet. jsvery mteen minutes " by
the watch" there is a grand eruption
of water, which instead of putting
out the flames "drives them in
sheets above the highest trees, and
falls in showers for a considerable dis
tance around the well." The scene at
night is a brilliant one, and is thus de
scribed by the Sarnia Observer: " The
mixture of the water which, by the
way, is said to be stiongly impregnated
with sulphur with the flames produces
effects in color which are dazzling in
their brilliancy and beauty, various
shades of yellow and purple predomi
nating. The spectacle, especially if wit
nessed at night, is indescribably beauti
ful, and its effect is heightened by
a slight dash of weirdness caused by
the unusual color of the flames, and the
corresponding reflection which it
throws on the foliage of the surround
ing trees. The birds seem to be par
alyzed by the unwonted illumination.
All night long, so the drillers say, they
fckim around the flames, uttering shrill
cries of alarm, and beoome either so
frightened or so bold that they alight
alongside the men, by whom they are
frequently caught."
Cyrus W. Field proposes to erect a
memorial window at Williams college to
the late President Garfield.
The Farlfost Tens.
As long as people wrote on tables
covered with wax they were obliged to
use a style or bodkin, made of bone;
metal, or some other hard substance ;
but when they began to write with
colored liquids.they used a reed ; after
which quills and feathers (plume as is
sometimes said) came into fashion,
those finally giving way to metals
steel, not only from its adaptability,
but from its cheapness, being the spe
ciality for this purpose.
The earliest pens, such as were used
for writing on papyrus with a fluid, ap
pear to have been made of reeds. In
our translation of the Old and New Tes
taments (not the revised edition) the
word pen refers to an iron stylus used
on wax tablets, or a reed, quills not
having been introduced earlier than the
fifth century. It is not certain what
particular kind of reed was used for
making pens, but it is described as a
small, hard, round cane, about the size
of a large swan quill. The supply of
these reeds was obtained from Egypt,
Cairo, Asia Minor and Armenia. Char
drin and Tournefort describe a kind of
reed used for pens in Persia. Those
reeds are collected near the shores of
the Persian Gulf, whence they are sent
to various parts of the East.
After being cut they are deposited
for some months in stable manure,
when they assume a mixed blaok and
yellow color, acquire a fine polish and
a considerable degree of hardness, and
the pith dries np into a membrane
which is easily removed. Reed pens
are still in use, as they suit the Arabio
character better than quill or metal
pens. Tho Arab, in writing, places the
paper upon his knee, or upon the palm
of his left hand, or upon a dozen or
more pieces of paper attached together
at the corners and resembling a thin
book, which he rests on his knee. The
ink used by the Arab is very thick and
gummy.
Although the quills used for pens were
chiefly from the goose, those from the
swan and crow were much esteemed;
and besides these, the ostrich, turkey
and other birds occasionally contributed
to the supply. Most of the manufac
tured goose quills were from tho Nether
lands, Germany, Russia and Poland.
Before the general introduction of nie-
tallio pens, as many as 27,000,000 of
quills had been received in Great Brit
ain from St. Petersburg in a single
year. Some idea of the number of
geese required to keep up such a supply
may be judged from the fact that each
wing produces about five good quills.
and that by careful management a goose
may afford ten quills during a year.
While quill pens were in vogue the
occupation of a pen cutter or maker was
one of considerable importance; not one
in five of those who used pens could
make one, and scarcely half a century
has elapsed since a certain house in
Shoe lane, London, disposed of over
six million quill pens per annum. It
was also quite common at that time to
cut the barrels of quills into several
pens, each being affixed to handles
when used, as is now done with me
tallic pens.
The first notice that we find of steel
pens for writing is in 1803, when a Mr.
Wise, of London, constructed " barrel
pens" of that metal, mounted on bone
handles. These pens were expensive
and not very successful; they, however,
served a good purpose, as the forerun
ner of a better article. Paver World.

The World's Letters.
Some recently compiled statistics
show that the total number of letters
sent by mail in all parts of the world in
1865 was 2,JU)U,UOO,000. In 1S77 the
number was increased to 4,020,000,000,
an average of 11,000,000 a day, or 127
each second. Of these Europe con
tributed 3,036,000,000, America 700,-
000,000, Asia 150,000.000, Africa 25,
000,000, and Australia 20,000,000. If
the present estimate or the world's
population (1,400,000,000), is correct,
the number of letters sent in 1877 by
mail to eash person in the world, was
three.

feeling that the information conveyed w ill be of
material benclit to many of your readers. Ono
of our oldest citizons, Captain C. W. Boynton, the
Government Light-house keeper at this point, is
probably one of the oldest teamen in America,
having sailed twenty-six years on salt water.
After this forty-six years' servico his eyesight
failed him and he kept the Light at Chicago until
the Government built the Gross Point Light here,
when he was transferred. W hile seated in my

following written statement: "This is to certify
that I have been aillicted with rheumatism lor
twenty (ai) years, both in my Bide and limbs. I
am happy to say that, after using less than two bot
tles of the St. Jacobs Oil, I am entirely free from
pain, though still limping somewhat when walk
