A sronr oFsIrrING BULL.

A correspondent of the Baltimore Gazette,
signing himself West Pointer" has started
the story that it is possible that Sitting Bull
is identical with strapping Western youth
who graduated at West Point about 1850
On account of his pecularities he was nick
named Bison The correspondent says:
This remarkable character passed his grad
uating examination creditably, received his
diploma, but before doffing the cadet gray
visited the village Of Buttermill1 Falls, below
West Point short distance, got intoxicated.
and became involved in a broil, in which
stones and sticks were used freely. Several
of the participants were badly hurt, and the
Bison himself much bruised. This conduct
was considered so unbecoming and dscredit-
able that on the recommendation Of the AGA
demc board no was refused a commission in
the army. lie was heard of three times after
leaving the academy--once at Galveston, Tex
as There he had terrible fight with some
desperate, and was forced to leave. lie was
next seen on one of the California steamers,
and going up the Western coast he got into
an alteration with the officers of the steam
er, and was placed under guard down in the
hold and made to work. The third and last
time he was seen and recognized under the
following circumstances In 1858, about ten
years after the Bison had graduated, Lieuten-
ant Ives, of the typographical engineer corps
was engaged in making an exploration and
survey of the Colorado river, emptyiDg into
the gulf of California.

on shore and bivouac till morning. On one of
these occasions party of Mohaye Indians
came into his camp, and after talking some
time in Spanish, the chief says in English =
"Iyes, do you know me ?" The lieutenant
was surprised at hearing his name called so
distinctly in English by this naked and paint
cd chief He replied that he did not, and
asked tho chief where he had learned to
speak English SO well. "Neyer mind that :
but do you know me Ives?o The lieutenant
scanned closely the huge painted Chief, with
feathers in head rings through his nose and
cars, and again answered that he did not,
and again asked the chief where he had learn
ed English, and how it happened that he
knew him. The chief replied that he did not
wonder at his not knowing him, as his change
of nationality had brought with it great
change in habits, dress, and appearance, and
then added 81 am the Bison we were to-
gether at West Point. have with this little
party been watching you for several days
My band wanted to kill you and your little
party, but told them they had better wait,

better than kill you. have made them I'M
derstsnd that after you have left and gone
back trade will spring up, and we can then do
better by trading or robbing the boats loaded
with goods and supplies of all kinds. The
Indians stayed around the camp awhile, then
retired and were seen no more.

HrGH HASH TALK.-D Detroit Free Press -
A dialogue occurred at Lafayette avenue
boarding house Saturday afternoon between
an eliminate, shabbily dressed young man
and the landady, which for ponderous rhe-
toric exceeds anything of similar nature
that has been seen for some time The land
lady appeared at the front door, in answer to
the bell, and was accosted by the Young man
as follows
eff you are manager of this domicile |
wish to know if you conld DO persuaded to
provide me with apartments and provender
during my sojourn in this city, which may be
of two or three days duration and may pos
sibly extend through greater period"
The mistress of the house, catching the
style and spirit of the inquirer, responded:
Unfortunately, great demand exists at
present, which SO crowds the capacity of my
apartments and the content of my larder
that cannot consccntiously provide the ac-
commodations you DESIRE
Evidently the young man had expected to
crush the landlady with his command of the
English language, but his disappointment
was plainly shown in the look of blank a.
mazement which he bestowed upon her after
hearing her reply. He was not completely
annihilated, however, for he continued /:
provided you could madam, pray what
amount of money would you impose upon
mo for accommodating me-"
"Eight dollars week in advance was
too suggestive and as the young man backed
down the steps he simply said "good-day."

The figures that are given above will give

Yesterday morning early there were indI-
cations that the heat would not be so great

IN To 90. There were no cool spots 10 be
found. Everybody was hot. Everybody
except the patient. uncomplaining few were
cross and irritable from the heat, and no
wonder. 9
Our friends, Messrs. Ferguson d Son,

About 3 O'Clock it clouded up, and there
was pleasant shower. Later the CITY was
visited by thunderstorm, accompanied by
conside erable rain and wind. The atmos-
phere was considerably cooled, and from
toGP. NJ. the mercury fell 1So. The day
was, of course, the warmest OF the season,

was held at Trinity church Sunday after
noon at 44 o'clock-A. l.. West (presidenO

Riddick, assistant.
The meeting was opened with singing by
Trinity school and prayer by Rev. X. Is.
Beadles, pastor OF Nicholson-Street church.
Mr.. r. l.. D. Walford made very graft
fyine report of the condition OF Trinity
school. The school is supplied with officers
and teachers who are faithful and efficient.
The superintendent has been in his present
position over twenty-five years, and some
of the other officers fifteen years. The
school is now larger than at any former
period. A very large and fine circulating
library constitutes one Of the attractions OF
the school. The library now numbers nearly
], 900 volumes, and is under the manage
ment of Mr.. John r. Jeter and his assist
ants.
The President then introduced Professor
John NJ. Doggett, of Emory and Henry Col
lege, who delivered very fine address,
subject, "Children Of Jesus" The second
chapter OF St. Luke gives full information
Of the childhood and youth OF our Saviour.
Let the children study his exalted char
acter even as child, and learn now ne
Increased in wisdom and stature and in
favor with God and man." Learn, also,
how he was obedient and loving to his
earthly parents. Read of him as he labored
to supply their daily wants, and find in the
childhood Of Jesus the purest type Of de-
voted son, while at the same time he was
God manifested in the flesh.
Mr.. Asa Snyder also addressed the chill.
dren, referring to the international series
OF Sunday-school lessons, and asking them
questions concerning David, Solomon, and
Absalou,. He gave running comment on
the lesson of last Sunday, which was very
instructive as well as interesting.
The President closed the exercises with q
few words OF encouragement to the scholars
of Trinity school,
The singing on this occasion was said to
be equal to any, especially the solos and
quartette.

tandents' reports for June:
