SITTING BULL IN CANADA
Condition Of the Sioux Braves Under
Clusters Assassin.

Ottawa Citizen.
Sub-Inspector Allen, of the mount
ed police force, is at present in this
city on business connected with the
government. He left Fort Walsh on
the 9th of October, and reports Sitting
Bull and the Sioux ~peaceably inclined
toward the Great White Mother, for
whom they all express a most unquali-
fed loyalty. On the other hand, they
speak in the most bitter terms of
the United States government, and
threaten all sorts of vengeance for the
shameful manner in which they claim
they have been treated. Major Walsh
is at present in charge of a post in the
immediate vicinity of Sitting Bulls
encampment, near Wood Mountain,
and is on the most friendly terms with
the big Indian" chief. The major
appears to have a decided influence
over the red men, and they all look up
to him as a great and noble chief Of
their White Mother. He has a CON
tingent of twenty picked men, as brave
and true as steel. The Sioux camp at
this point numbers about 800 lodges,
representing nearly 1000 souls, and is
divided up at present into small hunt
ing parties. The old braves are most
peaceably inclined, and there would be
no fear of a breach of the friendly rela-
tons existing were it not for a number
of hot-headed young bucks who make
depredatory incursiOns across the Dor
ders; and sometimes go so far, when a
favorable opportunity presents itself,
to steal horses in Canadian territory,
and escape to the United States. The
old braves %deprecate this, and in every
way endeayor to prevent it. In fact
they invariably make good the value
of the horses stolen. To show how
strong they feel on this point, inspect
or Allan says, that the day before he
left a party of Sioux was out hunting,
when they came upon a young buck
with a number Of horses in his posses
sion, evidently making his way to the
United States. The father-in-law Of
the young man was in the party, and
wanted to know where he got the
horses, He replied that he got them
as a present from a white trader. The
father-in-law quietly limited that he
handled the truth ~carelessly, whore
upon the young buck grew imperti-
nent. The ~father-in-law considered
this sufficient justification for him t.
dispatch the young mar to the happy
hunting ground, and without further
parley dashed his brains out with q
war club,

sessed Of the devil, they must be
damned until all the hogs of earth
had devils in them.

Hamer. us there a fence that will

men, Chamber up and down, but al

devil teaches them anatomy, gentle
men, for who ever heard of a hog fall

is, q mingled expression of surprise
and satisfaction. When a damned hog

say, a damned hog gets under your
buggy, he does not run out of the way
like a sensible Christian animal; he,
on the contrary, goes to backing and
getting under every leg of the horse
and wheel of the buggy, until the one
is broken and the other thrown down.
Now, gentlemen, | put it to you: sup

take that they were his, six of those

1t is a swinish smile, gentlemen, and
makes me ashamed Of him."
Hamer sat down with a round of
applause from the bucolic bystanders,
while his client winked at the jury.
In the due course of legal forms the
jury retired, and soon returned with a
verdict of " not guilty"
We'll, I'll be id as well as the
hogs" exclaimed Hamer, "if l can
understand it."
You can't, eh2" exclaimed the
hog-thief; well, l can. Eleven Of
the jury had some of the bacon"
The Hon. Carl was very eloquent on
the financial issues of the canvass, but
the money contributed by the national
banks and ofice-holders secured the
verdict.

Don Platt.l
Carl Schurz is claimed as the elo-
quent advocate who, defeating Goss
and Sayler, carried Ohio for tho Re-
ppblioals,
This reminds us, as the late facetious
Mr.. Lincoln used to say, of a little
story that Tom Hamer, of Ohio, was
wont to tell, Of a case he had where
a mar was charged with hog-stealjpg,
The case was clearly proven, and when
went to the Jury Tom was indisposed
TO say a word.

But | can say nothing, replied
the poor attorney, d.
But you must. Get up and yowl

Thus instigated, Tom rose gravely
and astonished the court by a grave
dissertation on the law Of forcible
entry detainer, Then turning to his
jury, no gave them a Discourse on the
nature and habits of hogs. He called
attention to the prohibition of God,
through Moses, Of hog meat as an
article of food. He told how OUT
