Sitting Bull.

Awestern journalist, who was pres
ent when Sitting Bull was brought in,
writes: When Sitting Bull reached
Bismarck he for the first time in his
life looked upon a locomotive, and he
asked to see it go. His request was
complied with, and with shake of
the head he expressed his surprise
and satisfaction, but could not be in
duced to take a ride on it. Sitting
Bull is of medium height and soidly
built. The thinness of his lips and a
few wrinkles on his face give him the
appearance of looking older than so
years, which Scout Allison pro-
nounces his correct age. To-day he
was III the traditional blue blanket,
sewed in the form of half-civilized
pantaloons, with great gaping places
at the proper place for the pockets,
and when he walked often displayed
brawny leg. Over the blanket he
simply wore what was once finely
made and nicely-laundried white
shirt, but which had become greasy
and dirty from wear. The shoulders
of the shirt sleeves had three long
streaks of red war paint, with which
the chiefs neck, his entire face and
the scalp at the parting of his hair
was covered His hair is jet black,
and hangs in three braids below his
shoulders, one at each side and one
pendant from the back. They are
braided from a circular part at the
crown of his broad head, The two
braids hanging over the shoulders
were thickly wound with red flannel.
The only ornaments worn were two
brass rings, one each on the little and
second finger of the left hand, and
lady's cheap bracelet of black gutta
percha on the left wrist. This lack
of ornament, in comparison with bis
better-looking and more gaudily
adorned chief advisers, is for the pur-
pose of impressing the sentimental
white man with his poverty. His
moccasins were of the most common
pattern, dotted with few beads here
and there. While on the boat Sit
ting Bull most of the time kept his
eyes covered with a pair of large
smoked glass goggles. He wrote his
name in English on a card and pre-
sented it to Mr.. Bachelor. He writes
easily, but in writing his name he
simply copies it from the writing of
another person. He introduced a re-
markable-looking old Indian as his
father. Before leaving Buford Sit
ting Bull asked the officers to send
messengers to the lodges be left be-
hind and ask them to come on and
surrender. He pointed out four of
his children, two twins being named
"The War is Over" They had rings
of telegraph wire in their ears, and
We're dressed in buffalo hide jackets,
fur side out. The favorite Mrs. Sit
ting Bull is about 45 years of age,
and is a fine specimen of Indian
beauty.

Come and Take Them,

The man Hartmann, it is said,
boasts of having papers signed by
the set of men in Russia with whom
he acted in blowing up railroad trains
and so forth. If he has such ere
dentials, it would be Just the best
kind of evidence, upon which to pro-
ceed to arrest him and hand him over
to the authority in the country where
he has been numbering innocent peo-
pie. 1t is an offence against society
generally to have such murderers in
the country at large. They are no
good to society They make no effort
to acquire property, and thus become
taxpayers and supporters of society
by helping to pay for all of its re-
quirements, such as schools, roads,
poor houses, court houses and courts :
but they are the heads of conspira-
cies that burn houses and barns, that
place internal machines under cars
and in ships, thereby killing many
people. If society should make up
its mind to treat them as they treat
society there would be an end of the
cursed race in day. They deceive
ignorant and unsuspecting people,
and win their halfway approval by
talking of the oppression of kings
and the oppression of monopoles.
People that are thus beguiled do not
realize that in the fiendish work as
applied by the assassins, the torch
may devour their own property, and
the internal machine may blow them
into atoms, while the assassin stands
in the background and escapes. If
society would treat the assassins and
incendiaries as they treat socieSSy, an
internal machine would be put under
their abiding place or under the car
or boat that they travel in, and they
be blown out of existence. Society,
however, never resorts to such pro-
cesses, never throws herself back on
her reserved or natural rights until
the regular processes of law have
been tried, or until confidence in the
processes of law has been destroyed.
If Russia and Great Britain should,
through the processes of law, de-
mand that the railroad wreekers, and
exploders of internal machines, in
cendiaries, and assassins that have
fed to this country, be given up,
there ought to be hearty response,
Come and take them"

THE case of the President was
quite unfavorable last Monday morn
ing. The reader understands that
the bullet passed between the elev-
enth and twelfth ribs inward and
downward. The doctors say that the
cause Of the unfavorable symptoms
in the Presidents case on Monday
morning was owing to the track OF
the bullet between the ribs growing
shut, thereby preventing the pus
from the lower parts of the wound
flowing out The doctors resolved
to perform an operation by cutting
below the twelfth or lower rib, into
the track of the bullet. The proper
place to cut to intersect the bullet
track was indicated by the introduc-
ton of slightly curved instrument
between the ribs" downward along
the track of the bullet below the rib.
The instrument was pressed sutfi-
ciently hard TO show the further point
by bulging the flesh below the rib.
DR.. Agnew directed the knife to the
point or bulge raised by the lower
point of the instrument, and the op-
Grafton was satisfactory, in this that
now the pus can flow ont from the
new opening below the ribs, and the
wound above the ribs can heal For
this operation ether was admins
tered to the President.

GENERAL ITEMS.

The Meadville Republican relates
the following with regard to the fam
ily troubles of Dan Rice, the show
man: Dan Rice, the Snowman and
clown, was in Erie the other day,
drawn thither by an application for a
divorce fled by his wife, Rebecca
Rice, of Girard 1t is claimed by the
petitioner that Dan Rice, in violation
of his marriage VOWS has wilfully and
maliciously deserted her for period
of two years without Just cause. The
woman now asking for divorce is
Rice's second wife. The first Mrs.
Rice was a circus actress and shared
with Dan his fame when at its height.
An event which transpired while
Rice's show was exhibiting in Erie
caused her to apply successfully for
divorce. Two daughters was the re-
suit of this union, both of whom are
now comfortably married. Mrs. Rice
after being divorced became Mrs.
Warner. Dan Rice wooed and won
Miss Rebecca Mcconnell, of Girard;
o lady many years his junior. Her
father, who was wealthy banker and
Presbyterian deacon, was opposed to
the match. and disinherited his daugh.
ter, Notwithstanding she was an only
child. Tt has been stated by Rice
that he first saw Miss Mcconnell at
his show when an infant in her nurse S
arms. The little thing evinced such
an extraordinary interest in the per
formance as to attract his attention.
Although then a married man, he
watched her with special interest TN
til she grew to womanhoo1. After
his first wife procured Il divorce Rice
won Miss Mcconnell as his bride.
He was very PROSPEROUS for some
years after h::s becond marriage and
erected costly mansion at Girard
and adorned the grounds surround
ing it, the whole costing something
over 100000. In 1873 Rice went
into bankruptcy and his fortune van
ished like mist A boy, the very sem
blance of his father, was the result
of the second marriage. Before the
death of Mrs. Rice's father, some
years ago, he relented somewhat in
his feeling against his daughter and
bequeathed his property TO her off
spring. After his financial ruin Rice
grew cold toward his family, which
was the cause of his second wife's
for a separation. Rice's
first wife still resides in Girard and
is said to be on intimate terms with
Mrs. Rice No. 2.

AMERICA is said to be the refuge for
all people that are oppressed 10y
state and church in other countries.
But it is a forced construction to de
clare it to be a place of refuge for
men who use bombs and internal ma
chimes to explode among innocent
people, under railroad trains, on ship
board, aud in populous places, where
many people are killed and wounded.
1t is unfortunate enough when men
that have been guilty of such things
come to this country, and settle down
quietly: they are bad men at best :;
but it is great outrage when they
come to this country and make it a
headquarters, as it were, to carry on
their fiendish work.

getting his head unfastened and
clutching his nostrils got the terri
fed beast out of doors. She then
went for the second one, which was
equally terrified. By the time, how
ever, that she had succeeded in res
cuing this one, its mate had run

being torn off. She then grasped a
pitchfork and went for him, amid the
