SITTING BULL.


Antecedents and Exploits of the SiOup
Leader
To-tonka U-ton-ka, Sitting Bull, is a
Yankton Sioux, of the upper Missouri,
and received his name from being a
fleshy, indolent youth-the Indian name
meaning, literally, "big flesh" He is
now about forty-fve years old, and weighs
in the neighborhood of one hundred and
sixty-fve pounds, having lost his sur
plus flesh, and now presenting a fine
physique. He is regarded as mentally
the superior of Red Cloud and Spotted
Tail, but his career has not been marked
by any great feat of daring, such as is
usually required of a brave before he is
advanced to leading position.
Until within the last six years Sitting
Bull has been only a warrior, but bold
and independent one, refusing all over
lures from the whites and declaring his
firm purpose to stand upon his rights
and treaty stipulations regardless of con-
sequences. Numbers of the various bands
Of the Sioux, agreeing with him in SEN
timent, soon placed themselves under
his leadership, and now his forces consist
OF portions of the INK papas, Mimi
kan-ins, Ohe-nOm-pas, BIackfeet O-gah-
la-Ias and YanktOnais bands, numbering
in all about one thousand three hundred
warriors. When the Indian bureau
asked congress for an appropriation last
winter to enable the government to issue
rati0ns to Sitting Bulls band, the num-
Der Of the band was stated at one thou
sand two hundred. In a public debate
on the bill this estimate was pronounced
exaggerated, and prominent member
denied that the band numbered over
seven hundred.
Sitting Bulls exploits since the Or
ganization of his band have consisted
principally of successful defensive oper-
a.iOns against the Rees, Mandans, As
Grosventois, Crows, and the
Blackfeet of the upper Missouri. Occa-
siOnal retaliatory raids have been made;
and on several occasions whites have
been attacked and killed for trespassing
upon the reservation of these Indians.
Such was the courage and ability dis
played by Sitting Bull in all these en-
counters, and such his success in battle
hat his followers have come to regard
ais command as absolute, his word as law.
In all the efforts made by the govern
nent to induce the Sioux to surrender
heir little to the Black Hills reservation,
sitting Bull stubbOrnly refused to listen
o any proposition. The result was the
government abandoned the project, and :
lotifed miners and others not to tres
'ass upon the reservation. The notice
vas disregarded, aud the influx of whites
Orced Sitting Bull and his band to leave
he reservation and retire to a hunting
round in the Little Horn, four hundred
nd fifty miles northwest of the Black
Hills. Here he was attacked by General 6
ulster. The country mOurns the result. '

A GREAT social event in Virginia City.
Nevada, was the opening of the The
Silver Palace" drinking and gambling
saloon. The local newspapers devote
whole columns to descriptions of the
goigeousness of the establishment and
the brilliancy of the opening. private
invitations were issued, says the Chron.
icle, to several hundred prominent cit
liens, requesting them TO be present with
their lady friends. The invitation was
generally accepted. Only those who had
been asked were admitted, and many Of
the best people In town took advantage
Of the courtesy Of the proprietors. The
ladies seemed to find an especial delight
in entering upon what after that night
would be to them forbidden ground, and
wandered around by scOres."

In the last number Of the st. Thome
Iidende, in an editorial article, which
breathes all the good will for our interests
with which the people Of the sister island
are known to be imbued in a high degree,
we notice a ia9sus cay2mi, or a slight
mistake, as we read it, which We would beg
to correct. The article is based on ONE re-
marks Of ours, IN a previous number OF the
"AyiS'', concerning the progress OF the Gem
trial Factory question before the Diet, and
the slip is the following "According to
our contemporary [the Aois] it would seem
that the entire trouble OF the plan has not
yet been surmounted. AS there is an
amount Of some 2,O0O,0 900 Danish Crowns
to be raised by private subscription
styled a'a loan to the Factory Com
pony."-The Aps had it: i" there is
the amount to be raised outside, by private
subscription, an amount, too, equal to the
sum of 1000, 900 Crowns, which the Bill
grants as a loan to the Factory Com
pauy."-The amount to be raised by
private parties is of course not the amount
granted by the Bill as a loan to the Com
pany, but All amount equal to it, viz.
. 600, geo Crowns.
