) :
The deputation represents about
&C, 600 people, who have 4 reservation
of about 200 miles square, which IN
clndes the country about the north
fork of the Republican River, through
Which is located the best aud most
convenient route for travellers to the
Northwest and Black Hills, which.
embrace about sixty miles square,
or about thirty six hundred square
miles of land. There are but two or
three of these Sioux who are not over
six feet tall, aud a number Of them
reach from six feet three to six. feet
six inches in height. None of these
are inclined to obesity, and every one
of them is wonderfully muscular and
strong. In comparison with the gap,
ing crowd Of white men and negroes
who almost constantly surround the
fremont House, where the. Indians
are entertained during their stay
here, they look like very giants.
Spotted Tail is regarded as the
wisest Indian on the continent. and
on all occasions here, in. meeting the
authorities, he is made the speaker.
He is fiftY-two years Of age, and
weighs about $50 pounds Of solid
bone and muscle. When at rest
there is nothing remarkable about
his appearance, except that one sees
in his square, flat-looking, yellow
face the cruel, scalp taking Sioux Of
the war path, who is feared by the
Pawnees as an avenging Manitoba;
but when his eyes open, .glistening
like diamonds, lighting up his feat
ures, and he speaks, you see a very
different man indeed. Immediately
there is manifested that magic power
which belongs only to naturally great
men that power which will lead. the
multitude, without an inquiry being
made as to what road it will take, or
for what purpose it goes. One hear
ing the great warrior speak, and feel
ing the magnetic influence which
starts into life as you hear the music
of his words, and realize that the rays
from his brilliant eyes arc upon you,
you no longer inquire tho reason of
his supremacy among his people. It,
was during my interview with this
chief that / learned the proper name
OF the 'squaw who accompanies the
deputation. I,asked Loais Bordeau,
the interpreter, to write her name for
me, as it was difficult for me to do SO
from their pronunciation. He under
took it but failed, and asked Spotted
Tail as to the proper pronunciation
Of the name by syllables. Spotted
Tail answered by repeating, Chain
