party into two companies for the pur-
pose OF facilitating results, though it is
not expected that his final report viii
be ready before next winter. Enough
is foreshadowed, however, to indicate
that he does not intend to be carried
away by any golden enthusiasm.
Spotted Tail, who visited the camp Of
the biologists some days ago, together
with some CT his braves, indicated that
the Indians would demand very big
price for the hills country, besides
claiming heavy damages for the gold
already carried off by miners. As there
does not appear TO have been any ex-
traordlnary quantity Of gold discovered
so far, it is not probable that Mr. Tail
will make much of his claim, and as
for the great price to be exacted for
the country, call is not gold that gilt
ters, and the government will not be
apt to be bamboozled in that matter.
If there is any bamboozling to be done
rhe government is pretty sure to have
the monopoly of it.

rather than Injurious to your assoela
ton. This was the more supposable
because several other agricultural
societies Of Illinois had in like manner
invited me to address their annual
meetings Yesterday received a
printed paper, it being a protest of
number Of Your ftllow~countrymen
against the action Of your board in
their invitation to me to make the am
nuaf address at the county meeting;
thereupon sent to you telegram
withdrawing my acceptance oi the ln>
vltation, under the conviction that It
would not be useful or agreeable to
participate 10 the meeting, and | hope.
that neither your association nor the
directors will suffer harm by the delay
in procuring an orator, OF by the cor
respondence which has caused it.
Third The object was to CRAFTY a
wish long entertained to see IN It's
cultivated dress the country known to
me as trackless wilderness, but that
being merely Il personal qualification it
may be indulged at my convenience, or
postponed indefinitely. l can well
believe that the cause which has
changed my purpose was as unforeseen
by you as by me. You may be assured
that feel no dissatisfaction towards
the directors or yourself, and have
suffered no personal embarrassment
from the event as the invitation was
unexpected, and only acceptable as an
exp ression of general good will. So
my only regret is the loss of opportu>
nifty to promote the public interest with
which the welfGe Of your community
is identified. t#
Again expressing the hope that
neither the directors nor yourself may
suffer injury or annoyance and thank
ing you for the kindness and consider
alton you have manifested, / am re.
