The Famous Chief Sitting Bull and his
Warriors Surrender.

ST. PAUL, July 21.-The following
special has been received from Fort
Buford, detailing the surrender of Sit
ting Bull: Sitting Bull and POO people
arrived here ut exactly - O'Clock yes
terday, and surrendered their arms
and ponies toMajor Brotherton. No
speeches have yet beell made us Bull
and his orator are fatigued and hungry.
They We're placed in compartmentsbe
tween the post and the boat landing.
and are secure in Maj. Brotherton's
charge as if i'll irons. The correSpon-
dent visited Bull after his lodge was
erected and chcered the old man up hy
informing him that he had the lost
daughter whom the Canadians had
told him was III chains only
shCrt time before and that
she was well and happy. The
chief expressed a desire to have talk
after he had rested and had something
to eat. The cavalcade as it filed to the
garrison attracted much attention and
would have been regarded with much
interest, no doubt, could it have been
Paul. 1t consisted of six army wagons
loaded with squaws and children, fol
lowed by twenty-five or thirty Of the
Louis Legare Red River carts well
filed with baggage. Much credit is
given here to Mr.. Legare for his faith
ful service to the government III
finally inducing Sitting Bull to
come with him He has used his
own means freely iii provid-
ing transportation and provisions,
and should be literally rewarded for
his work. Sitting Bull himself and his
chiefs and head men rode their ponies,
and did not dismount and shake hands
till they arrived at the place fixed upon
for their camp.
Capt. Clifford states that Bull has
seemed more sullen and insolent than
any of the chiefs he had under his man
agement, and his actions to-day con-
firm this statement, but ii is thought
that kind treatment will soon satisfy
him that the government has accepted
his surrender in good faith. A dispatch
was forwarded TO Standing Rock in
forming Crow King and Low Dog Of
Sitting Bulls arrival, and it was believed
that this news will remove any desire
the Indians there may have to leave
the agency.
BE Courteous at Home.
Do not save your smiles, your bright

of others when those others are out

Make it your business, then 10 be
polite and tolerant to the ideas and
peculiarities of those with whom you
are intimately assoiatced. You can
be interested in listening to matters
that interest your most ordinary ac-
quaintance, because politeness de-
mands that you should be so. Surely
then, you ought 10 manifest an interest
in the aims and thoughts of those at
home. Often an affectionate word Of

It is more essential that the wheels
of constant intercourse should run

of its perfect action, and increases the
hardship, to say nothing of the pain, Of
