General Sitting Bull as a French
Scholar.

dakota Correspondence Chicago Tribune.l
He is Teton Sioux, and onl, thirty
FIVE years Of age. Captain McGarry, of
the steamer Benton, tells me he has
known Sitting Bnll about the Upper
Missouri trading posts for many years.
His principal bar,ering place was at
Fort Peck. though of late years he and
his band have followed the buffalo north
on the Souris and Penn bina Rivers, and
have bartered their robes and tongues
for guns and ammunition with the
French half.breeds of Manitoba. Sit
ting Bull was convert and friend of
Father DeSmet, who taught him TO read
and write French. He has always
scorned to learn English, but is fair
French scholar. In the Dakota Ian
gnage he is also versed, and declared to
be greater orator than Little Pheasant.
Chief of the Yanktonnais. CAPTAIN
McGarry says he knows that Sitting
Bull has read the French history of
Napoleon's wars, and believes that he
has modelled his generalship after the
little Corsican Corporal. Sitting Bull
has never accepted an overture of
peace, the report that he gave in his ad-
hesion TO Sully to the contrary nofwith-
standing. He has always been an un-
relenting and vindictive savage-to the
Americans what Schamyl was to the
Russian. Father DeSmet kept the
Tetrn-Sioux from the war path until
1868. He then left the Upper Missouri.

organized effort was made to array the
Sioux Nation against the whites until
after the Minnesota massacre of 1868,
when the Sioux were driven west ofthe
Missouri into the bad lands and noun
tains of Dakota. Sitting Bull aspired
to the leadership, but Red Cloud, Spot
ted Tail, Little Pheasant and the Oeal
ALA Sitting Bull chiefs repudiated him.
From that time he has been a mal-con-
tent, and at war with the chiefs of the
Sioux Nation, though he has by his
persuasive arts of oratory seduced many
hundreds of their yonng braves INTO
his ranks. He is also largely reinforced

Col. Bristow, ex-Secretary of the
Treasury, has written reply to the
Presidents letter relieving him from all
obligations Of secrecy touching Cabinet
conversations, in which he declines to
avail himself of the offer, holding that
it is public duty to treat such conver-
sa,icns as confidential. Col. Bristow
makes strong point against exposing
Cabinet secrets when he says that snch
an inquiry as that propoaed by the Com
mittee of Congress tends to the nhsorp-
tion, il not complete destruction, of Ex

The Harvest i'm Southern Kansas.

The Kansas City journal Of Commerce
gives this encouraging outlook for the
wheat crop: The harvest in Southern
Kansas is we'll advanced and the wheat
may be said to be safe in all respects.
The amount of wheat produced this
year is wonderful, some counties produc-
ing more than million bushels. In the
Walnut, the Veriigris, the Neosho,
Cottonwood, Arkansas, and other valleys
the yield is simply enormous. The Ar
kansas valley alone will have million
bushels for export. Taking this as a
basis Of calculation, we would place the
crop of surplus wheat in Kansas thi.
year at from fifteen to eighteen millions
of bushels. Indeed, We might place it
even higher than this and yet beyond
the possible result
