FROM THE SIOUX INDIANS

New York Freeman's Journal.)
The feeling of all honest and thinking men
ls that the late raid on the Sioux indiana, by
order of Grants administration, was a cause.
Less and hagitious atrocity. The slaughter OF
Gen. Custer and his command, and the havoc
made of unfortunate Indians, are crimes that
call to heaven for Justice against Grant and
his wicked Administration. Here is, from q
devoted Indian Missionary,
MOST INTERESTING LETTER ON SITTING BULL
BISMARCK, D. T., Sept. 8, 1876.
Editor Freemsns Journal
Dear Sir-Tn the Boston Pilots issue of the
9Th OF August last, read au article under the
following heading: "Tbe Indian that was
struck by a soldier" 1t says:
"Sitting Bull lived for several years at Fort
Rice, on the Missouri River, and was known as
a Blanket Indian etc., etc. One day a soldier
struck Sitting Bull blow. That was the blow
in whose train has followed long list of heroic
deeds, end which has shaped the Indian policy
of the United States, and to which the death
of Custer and his command may be immediate
ly traced. That blow aroused the spirit of a
great soul which, until then had been dormant.
He at once flew to the desert, where he organ
lied a band from the di5affected of all tribes,
and made UnTeleptInS war on the whites and
from that period, about ten years ago, to the
from the falls of the Missouri 80 Fort Randall,
and from the borders of Montana to DEVILS
Lake"
Permit me, Mr. Editor, to deny the above as
well as all other such stories circulated through
hundreds of papers about Sitting Bull and the |
ex petition. Such tales are well calculated to |
10 serest public already too eSsy to be led |
into error, in regard to the Indians and their !
affairs, because of the awful representations !

Prussia, although school attendance
from the sixth to the fourteenth year is as
much obligatory as military service,
counts whole villages in which not one
child learns to read and write. Quite re-
Gently such village was pointed out to
the Governments attention, viz, Stein
krug, near KOln, in the province of Prug-
STA, where sixty children have for years
been growing up without any instruction
whatever. The want of teachers has really
become calamity in Prussia; it is partly
the result of the Kultur. Kampf but it is al
so owing to the miserable salary given TO
village school masters. At the present
moment there are more than IL 900
teachers in Prussia who receive less-and
many much less-tban 935 per anaum.
Schools, too, decline in character and eff

The Dublin correspondent of the Cleveland

letter:
The Registrar General for Ireland has, nv

different circum stances, and in a country with
an area for cultivation of the dimensions of
America, and possessing its vast manu- facturing

left unrealized. With Ireland, however, these
results bear far different import-they are
serious nay, alarming. Aud venture to assert

At waiting in the lower bay.

Who took the West Point highest prize:
He went half crazy for my sake.

And here's button off his coat.
Is this his ring? My dearest May,

This was a gift from Howard Clay.
Just see, the pearls are getting aim.
They say that pearls are tears, what stuff !
The setting looks a little rough.
He was as handsome as prince
And jealous But he went to Rome
Last fall He's never written since
used to visit at his home,-
A lovely place beyond Fort Lee;
His mother thought the world of mel

These came to me from Washington
But look, what tremendous pack!
He always wrote me three for one.

This is the doctors signet ring.
