aark.bIe Woman.
In speaking OF the marriage Of Mr.,
4. II. Tibbles and Bright Eyes, the
beautiful and accomplished Indian girl,
the Omaha Republicans says:
Mr.. Tibbles is well known in Omaha
and throughout the United States as
the philanthropist who interested him
self so successfully in behalf OF the
down trodden Poncas. and who made
such a bitter eight on Carl Schurz and
the interior department during the ad-
ministration of President Hayes. Dur
ing the last two o three years he has
spent most Of his time in the eastern
cities, where he has been engaged in
the cause of the noble but much abused
red a His career is too well known
TO our readers to need repetition at this
time. Suffice it to say that he is an
enthusiast in whatever cause he n
cages. In the east, and particularly in
Boston and New York, he was well re-
ceived and made a good impression, and
succeeded In advancing the cause of
the Indians. He has recently had pub
hshed by G.. w. Carleton & Co., an
interesting and well written story in
which he criticises the Indian ring.
Susette La Flesche, whose Indian
name is Inshta- Theamba, meaning
bright Eyes," is the daughter of
Joseph La Flesche, Or Iron Eye, who
was for 10 years the head chief of the
Omaha tribe of Indians, and who was
the first Indian who advocated the
making of the aborigines citizens of
the United States, and compelling them
to become self sustaining and civilized.
His daughter, who is now Mrs. Tibbles,
has Omaha, Ponca and French blood
coursing through her veins, and is a
remarkable woman. She is not only
beautiful, but she is accomplished.
She has received q flushed education.
She first attended school at the Presby-
terrain mission at the Omaha reserva-
tion, and afterwards graduated at a
well known seminary at Elizabeth,
New Jersey, where she was awarded
the highest prize for English compo-
sition.
During the last two years she has
lectured frequently In Boston, Brook
Ign, Philadelphia, New York, Balti-
more and other eastern cities, with
marked success. her principal theme
being the wrongs of the red man. Her
lectures have been translated into
nearly every European language. At
present she is engaged in writing for
S~cribner's Monthly Magazine, the
Yoith's Companion, and other peri
odicals. She has formed the a~cquaint-
ance of nearly all the prominent literary
people in the United States, and has
gained for herself a national reputa-
ton. Before her return to the west
she received invitations to visit Aus
tria, Italy and France. When she
visited Washington she was gwen the
most cordial receptions everywhere.
Her letters were read In the senate
chamber, and the highest compliments
were paid her. On the senate floor
Senator Hoar said he had heard her de-
liver an address before the most refined
audience at Worcester, and her hearers
were affected to tears by her pathos
and eloquence. She is now engaged in
writing q story for the 81. Nicholas
magazine, and has in hand a large
amount of other literary work. She
will probably resume lecturing this fall
in the east, as she is a star among the
literary bureaus.
Mr.. and Mrs. Tibbles arrived in
Omaha yesterday, and have taken up
their residence in South Omaha. They
will make Omaha their home.
