The desth OF q man eighty.s'x years old,
who passed sixty busy years in English po-
litical life; who during that period filled the
most important offices In the government;
who was commoner, peer, cabinet minister
and premier. always in the front of the po-
litical battle and always a power, must at
tract attention. For years "Lord John"
as he was best known, had scarcely appear
ed in public life, and was only remembered
on the occasional appearance Of a queru-
lous pamphlet on religious questions. His
life labor was completed long before he
died, and there has been ample time to as.
sign him his place In the history of his
country. He was not q great man. Sue.
cessful personally, he was not generally
successful In his undertakings. He was the
son Of duke and Q whig Of wings. To have
allied himself to the progressive party at
the time 1t needed every title of influence
It could obtain, and to have taken the lead

fore parliament secures him q distinction to
which nothing he attained in after life has
materially added, although 1t marked the
beginning of his long ministerial career.
BE was pertinacious In asserting himself,
but his popularity was never very great
during the past quarter century, although
no one sought 1t more eagerly; for he be-
came afraid of the force he had helped to
u~nloose, and was narrow and preiudiced to
q degree on almost every question save the
suffrage. In matters of religion he was
bigotry %personifed. To America he was
known as the pretentious quibbler of the
Alabama correspondence; In Ireland his
name wal detested because of his attitude
TO its people during the terrible famine
years and on the ecclesiastical titles bill. In
England the present generation knew him
as the meddling remnant Of the bygone day
when he approached greatness.

In appearances Sitting Bull is like what
he isEan Indisn-swarthy. with dark eyes
and acquiline nose, stoutly built, and . head
90 large that . halter would have some
difficulty to ft it. He appears to be in no
very cheerful mood, and lives apart from
the rest Of his tribe ; three lodges only. now
follow him. and they are occupied BY his re.
~lstions. It seems that he has quarrelled
with his people, and the Tetons are all
thronging to the camp of Spotted Eagle.
Tbs principle chiefs of this tribe are -Four
Horns Spotted Eagle, Bears Cap and Red
Horn. Sitting Bull 10 not a chief-merely
q warrior and medicine man. In war time
this brevet rank gives him precedence over
all the chiefs. His father, Jumping Bull,
uterine brother Of Four Horns, was killed
ten years ago by the Crows, his mother be-
longed to the Mandan tribe, and he himself
is an illiterate savage. Bears Cap, who has
known him from boyhood, stated that this is
his origin.
What may take place is difficult to fore
tell. At present the buffalo are very scarce,
and some of the Indians are in q state OF
semi-starvation. To live they will have to
follow up the buffalo. In the spring, if like
former years, Cypress will be swarming with
the buffalo, and also with Crees, Assini-
BONES and the Blackfeet tribes. The Crees
and Assiniboines hate the Sioux, and the
Blackfeet naturally resent seeing them on
these hunting grounds, destroying 80 many
of the buffalo. The Sioux are congregatins
at the east end, and a meeting of the differ
ent tribes is inevitable. Should a quarrel
arise amongst them, and with Indiana but
very little begets such, these hills may be
the scene OF the most sanguinary Indian
strife. On the other hand it is more prob
able that the American Indians, now what
they have discarded their principal warrior
and are no longer influenced by his counsels,
will as soon as they see starvation staring
them in the face, return to their reservations
and quietly yield up their arms and horses
to the United States authorities.
