An Estimate of Sitting Bull.

James Mclaughlin, the agent at
Standing Rock, Dak., in his report,
knocks IL good deal Of romance out of
the public estimation Of Sitting Bull.
Mclaughlin says: He is an Indian
of very mediocre ability, rather dull.
and much the inferior Of Gall and
other of his iiputemants. / cannot
understand how he held such sway
and controlled men SO much his sHpe-
rior in every respect, unless it WAS by
his obstinacy and stubborn tenacity.
He is pompons. vain and hoastfnl, and
considers himself very important

parsonage. but as he has been pam
pered and lonized SO much by the
whites since tho battle Of the Little
Big Horn. I do not wonder that he has
an inflated opinion Of himself De-
scribing Sitting Bulls attempts at
farming, Agent Mclaughlin says
that he finally convinced the old
man that his war record would give
him no standing at the agency, but
that the Great Father recognized
as the big chief the most industrious
Indian. and the one who did the most
good and set the best example among
his people. Sitting Bull. who is am
bilious, decided to go to work, and,
taking a hoe, commenced to help some
of the other Indians plan corn. Il
visited him in the feld,' reports
Agent Mclaughlin. ''and he seemed
quite pleased that l found him labor
ing. and in reply to my question
whether he found farming very diff
cult. lNe answered me, No think
he has determined to become il farmer
in earnest.

The First Cavalry'S History.

From IN exchange we clip the fol-
lowing sketch of the history of the
First Cavalry. which has just been as
signed to duty in Montana: The
regiment was organized at Jefferson
Barracks, Mo-. in 1888. us the First
Dragons. Henry Dodge, of Missouri,
who had gained some distinction us All
Indian fighter in the Black Hawk war.
was commissioned the first colonel OF
the regiment on March 4, 1888, upon
which date also jefferson Davis, of
the late Confederacy, was assigned to
duty us adjutant, having been trars-
ferred from the First Infantry. Un-
til the outbreak of the war of the
Rebellion the regiment was continu-
ously in service Oh the frontier. with
headquarters successively at Jefferson
Barracks, Fort Gibson. Fort Leaven-
worth. Fort Union, New Mexico,
and other stations on the remote FROM
tier. In 1851 one troop was stationed
at Fort Smelling. During all this
time the troops were almost constant
ly employed in active operations
against the Indians, and rendered ar
duous and valuable service, us the his
tory of the various territories shows.
In 1861 the designation Of the rcgi
ment was changed to the First Cav;.l-
ry. and it was ordered to take part III
suppressing the Rebellion, it's various
troops being collected from Oregon,
Washington territory. California and
New Mexico. 1t continued with the
army Of the Potomac until the close
of the war. sharing its fortunes and
misfortunes. and rendering prominent
service under Sheridan in the Shenan-
loal, valley. Since the wal the First
Cavalry has been stationed in Oregon,
Nevada. California, Arizona and
Washington territory. 1t had MANY
engagements with the Amches, AMI
served i'm the Modnc. NeZ rerces and
B;lllllack campaigns.

twelve months the phenomenon has been

A Smelter at YOgO.

River Press: Several parties at
Utica and Billings have under advise
ment the building of Il small smelter
at Yogo adapted to the reduction OF
copper ore.' AS the smelter can be
built 1T small expense, probably it will
be erected this summer. us recent de-
velopments there show rich ore and
plenty of it. The two leads which
have been developed the most are the
Golden Chariot and Blue Dick. The
former lead produces red oxide OF
copper ore which runs from 40 to "A
per cent. in copper. besides carrying
gold and silver. J. d. Wtatherwax
of Utica. is one of the principal own
ers in this valuable property. The
Blue Dick, owned by p. II. Hughes,
shows up an ore body varying from
thirty inches to four feet wide, the
ore being the green carbonate with
some silver. We have been shown
some specimens Of copper which were
extracted from the ore. which shows
that copper is in the rock and plenty
of it. Not only can the smelter be
erected without much expense, but
we are assured that the ore is not at
all refractory and can he reduced by a
very simple process Of smelling. We
expect to see this proposed smelter
the entering wedge which will lift
Yogo from the grade Of Il deserted
mining camp to Il first-class bullion
producer in Il very few years.

Attti- Convention Notes.
Special Correspondence.

Special Correspondence.
CHICAGO. July 6.-The convention
chamber is ready for the great demo
cratic meeting OH next Tuesday.
Chairman Barn;im will call the con-
venton to order at noon anG the strug-
gle will then begin among the presi-
dent makers. Many changes and i'm
provements have been made in the
hall which VIII contribute III no small
degree to the increased convenience
Of the people present and to the com
rlete appearance Of the immense audi
tory. The stage has been placed on
the west side of the hall, opera chairs
are provided for the delegates, the
old north platform has disappeared
under an amphitheatre of seats, while
partitions have been set back on either
side, SD that the building will now
seat $500 people. Not the least Of
the changes are in the interior decor.
ations. National colors in flags are
profusely arranged along the gallery
rails and at long vantage points, while
portraits of jefferson ana Tilden, the
two democratic saints and eX.presi-
dents, the dead and the living, have
replaced the faces of Lincoln and Gar
field.
Sergeant -at-arms Bright has large
force of assistants, doorkeepers, ush-
ers, etc. about ready for the control
OF the vast throng which is pressing
into the city to attend the convention.
The seats for the public will be divl-
ded INTO sections but not numbered.
and this innovation, which is truly
democratic, will no doubt contribute
to the quietness Of the immense assem-
bly,. The doors will be opened ali
hour before the sessions are called to
order. and it is believed that about
everybody will be seated previous to
the opening OF the proceedings as
ticket holders will be treated on the
principle of first come, first served.
The excitement and enthusiasm
about the city is even greater than
during the republican pow-woW. and
the miscellaneous CT ,wd ct strangers
in the city will not fall short Of about
thirty thousand in number. The no.
tells and shops are making more money,
SO their rroprietors say, than during
the last convention, while the res
taurants and wet-goods stores are do
ing II thriving business. \ very
great difference exists between the
appearance OF the delegates to the
two conventions, and the contrast is
most marked in point of color. No
negro or mulatto delegates are in
attendance ut the national democratic
convention, while the gentlemen now
here who have been sent to repre-.
sent the southern democrats are en-
tirely unlike their republican neigh
bors. 1t is strange, but true, that
the members of the two great parties,
or ut least Il large number OF them.
differ in physiognomy. attire and con-
>ersaton. It may be stated also that
the Irishmen are quite numerous III
the present gathering.

Two Rich Mems Habits.
New York Times.l

Somehow very rich men never seem
to have merry hearts. I saw Wander
bilt the other day at "John Barry's,"
the well known roadside house near
Macomb's Dam bridge. He was sitting
gloOmily, in corner surrounded by his
toadies, who giggled and cackled at ev-
cry sad joke he essayed and applauded
every horsey that fell from his lips.
The dingy room, the vulgar surround
ing, and the prevailing spirit of sordid-
ness made the group q very suggestive
one. Fortunately for the great mil
lionaire, he has one substantial pleas
ure. Though picture-buyer, he knows
and cares little for art. Books have no
charms for him, and for what is called
society he has distinct and positive
aversion. But in everything that per-
tains to the horse he takes delight.
Some of the sporting newspapers refer
to him questions to answer, which,
with correctness, involves much horse
lore. His solutions are carefully writ
ten out, and it is evident that he has
spent time and thought in their prepa-
ration. 70 be sure, horse fancying,
pure and simple, is not an enobling

this means of diversion may be said to
be more fortunate than those who have
no pleasure in life but in piling up dol
lars.
Jay Gould, on the other hand, has ta-
ken the pains to tell people long since
that he played at money-making for
the mere pleasure of the thing. But
Gould is Il man familiar with books,
and has n very good education. He is
said to have good library, many of his
books being rare scarce and valuable.
AS he is what is known as Il domestic
man." presume that his private life is
far happier than that of any other of
our millionaires. The sages say that
riches harden Il mans heart. Never

A MEAN TRICK.
But it Made Many an Old Sinner
Search the Scriptures.
Nashville Banner.l

Nashville Banner.l
Somebody, wag, probably, played a
mean trick on some of Nashville's well
known citizens. The wag was seized
with the flendish idea the other day,
that there was not enough bible read
ing going OH in Nashville, and to stim-
ulate more activity in that direction,
he borrowed number of postal cards
from his friends, and perhaps purchased
some, which he proceeded to address to
such persons as he saw proper to send
them. Here is specimen card.
"Dear sir: You may find it profitable
to read ii: iX., Second Kings.h Per-
haps 500 of these cards were sent
through the mails to as many persons.
This morning a Banner reporter OBJ
served a number of prominent citizens
rushing around trying to borrow a BIZ
BILE.
"What's up?" asked the reporter, as
a bank chashier flew past him. "Bank
been robbed?"
"No; say, can you tell me where l can
borrow bible?"
"Going TO hold q prayer meetingm
mo. Say, look here drawing the
reporter aside), see this?"
The reporter looked and saw postal
card OH which was written: "Read l3:x
job" The reporter informed the CASH
Ter that he could probably find a Bible
at some of the churches, and passed on.
A block further up the news man was
run over and trampled upon by an ex-
judge.
'Here, look at this" said the judge,
exhibiting u postal. 1t read: "Read
and study Seventh Commandment" I"
"Do you remember just what the Sew
enth Commandment says" asked the
Judge.
"No; do you?"
mo" and the judge rushed on.
On his rounds the reporter met fully
100 men who probably haven't read the
Scriptures since they went to Sunday
school, and all of them looking for BIZ
bles, and each held II postal card in his
hand. 1t was mean trick.

Alleged Miraculous Conversion of an
Atheist.

BELLEFoNTAIN, o., February 9.-At
GAINESVILLE, six miles from here, a re-
markable revival is in progress among
the Quakers or "OrthodoX Friends" as
they call themselves. A few nights
ago young man arose and said:
II am an atheist. l don't believe
there is God. Idon't believe there is
hell. If there is a God ! want Him
to manifest himself"
While speaking the young man fell
down in trance and remained uncon-
scious twenty-four hours. When he
recovered consciousness he avowed COR
version and said he knew there was a
God and hell When asked how he
knew he said
II have seen for myself.n
He avOwS that he was in another
world and conversed with many per-
sons long since dead.
