large groves, varied in make, anC
graduated in form and hight, lay un
der the high rolling hills, creeping
higher and higher, across the Simerone
into New Mexico. In the distance, and
all over the picture, are thrown care
lessly ten thousand resplendencies
like the transparencies of a fairy realm
In the midst of these Satauk was born
Mingled with these he grew up. Made
bleak and desolate by the breath o.
winter, with them his life disappears
Then look with me upon that tall, erect
frail frame; count the few long gray
hairs falling midway down his back
See his eyes, dimmed with age, sparkle
as he speaks of the past. Watch the
throbbings of his heart, as through his
bopy breast it tries to speak. Look
well at him, who has fought to redress
the wrongs of his people; who has
loved US, and adored the Great Spirit
And when the last word, good by,
falls from his lips, answer with me, il

a TREATY MADE.
This day having been set apart, to
take into consideration the old treaty
and confederation OF the Arapahoes,
Apsches and Cheyenne Indians it was
scent in that business. A supplement
tary treaty was drawn up by the Com.
mission that had two important objects.
The Apaches had asked that they might
confederate with the Kiowa and Co
manehe Indians in a new treaty. To
this request the Commission consented
and to-day the treaty was Effected
The second object was that as the
Apaches and Arapahoes could not agree,
they should be separated and placed
in new considerations. The Arapahoes
under Little Raven, their chief, want
a separate reserve, and an agent to
themselves. Rut to day Little Raven
consented to await the arrival of the
Cheyennes, who are promised here on
the 9th. If a peace can be made with
that tribe, and if the Cheyennes will
consent to confederate with the Ara
pahoes then they will be located togeth.
er IN the agency of Col. WynkoOp.-
This was easily accomplished and the
Commission flatter themselves on hav-
ing wrought good out of bad.
In the course of the day Little Ra-
ven made a speech, which was a sue.
cince acknowledgement of the wrongs
committed by his people. and quite
palpable reasons for so acting. He is
a good Indian, and stands second in
wisdom and influence only to Satauk,
of the Kiowas. If all men were as free
and frank to confess their private and
public vices as this unfortunate savage
proved himself to be to-day, our coun-
try would endure less eonvulsions and
bloodsheds. He did not like the Kio-
was; neither did he love the Comanches.
He also said that it was not likely that
the Cheyennes would favor a confede-
ration with his band or people. The
matter is left open and will be disposed
of when the Cheyennes come in and
speak for themselves. We have three
days to while away as best we can be-
fore the Cheyennes can come in and
get ready to council. But as the inter
est of an Indian country is so varied,
we can do as we have done, pass the
time proftably and pleasantly.s
IN THE KIowA AND coNAScHE CAMPS.
This afternoon, when the business"
of the day was over, Senator Hender-
son and five of the correspondents took
a horse back ride, on the horses kindly
furnished by Capt. BIrnitz, a gallant
Ohioan. who accompanied US to the
Kiowa and Comanche camps or villages.
1t WIS cool but rainy; but we had been
tied up to our portfolios so long that
we wanted to get out.
When we had left about two miles
under our horses feet, and we we're on
the south end of the path we were in
the Kiowa village on the south and
west bank of the Medicine Lodge
Creek. We visited Sa-tan-ta, Kicking
Bird, and Old Satauk who made the
good speech this morning. In one tent,
or Teepee we found Sa-tan-ta's three
sons With their three wives each; some
of them were making moccasins, 9th
ers knedding bread on clapbOards, 9th
ers pulling raw meat of OF a beef
shank. The grandmother had a little
grandchild in her lap, of about six
days existence, picking out of its head
creaping things, and with a sort Of
don't care expression on her old, wrin-
kled face, she ate them down. Not
wishing to become like Indians we
shook hands around and left, going to
the Comnnche village, where we ex-
pected to see signs of a civilization
more like our own. Philip McCusker,
the interpreter of the Comanches, who
had accompanied US from our camp,
led US to the Teepee of Ten Bears, the
old hero and sachem of the tribe
When we approached his lodge three
young squaws came running out to
hold our horses. Right here, the
young people" may understand the
last sentence, 1 may say that women in
this country have the right of suffrage
IS well as that of endurance, hence
they do all the work, hold horses, etc,
when people comes to see them. When
the forms of etiquette so common IN
this country-bolting in and over any
one who gets into your way-were
passed through, we we're shown IN the
Lodge, and shook hands with Ten
Bears, his five wives, owned between
hem in a sort of joint partnership who
we're seated on robes. IN a moment
