Among our guests that day was a young
eastern clergyman, making his first trip
over the p~rairies. He was a very Jealous
youth, strongly imbued with the mission
airy spirit, albeit sadly lacking in expert
ence. l soon saw he looked upon the meet
ing with these Indians as a special provi-
dence, and burned with a desire to turn it
to account in their behalf spiritually. Still
no opportunity seemed to offer, and we
took our places at the table.
The young clergyman rose from his seat,
and, with arms extended over the table,
loudly invoked a blessing upon our feast.
Despairing Of any other chance, l suppose,
he dexterously Intervene a petition for the
conversion of the grim old savage before
him, making in all a rather lengthy pre-
amble.
The old warrior evidently regarded this
deyout exercise as some sort of incantation
by a medicine man of the pale faces, de-
signed to affect food, for as our minister,
in his eagerness to offer a suitable petition,
wildly waved his hands over the various
dishes, Sitting Bull glanced suspiciously
from one article Of food to another, then to
the faces of the white men, INT finally sank
sullenly back in the unaccustomed chair.
When at length his plate was filled and
sent round to him, he glowered over it,
muttered and grunted, but made no at
tempt TO eat. In distress to the
halfbreed who served as interpreter and
who hung about the tent awaiting his urn
to eat. After a series of grunts exchanged
with the savage, the halfbreed informed us,
"Great chief say white medicine man put
bad spirit in meat and potatoes. II chief
eat, maybe he be weak and never travel to
see the Great Father"
A long examination ensued, and at last
our grim guest fell upon his long delayed
dinner with fierce appetite. Ircgret to say.
however, that in the training of his child
hood table manners mus nave been sadly
neglected. The only possible use he could
see for a fork was to reach forth with his
grimy hands and spear various articles of
food which appeared to him desirable.
At the close of the meal the persevering
little minister was on the watch for his OPP
portuuity, and, as we were now better pre-
pared, Il decent silence ensued, and we
bowed oLE heads with due reverence for
the return of thanks. The poor man opened
his mouth and had uttered but a word or
two of adjuration when Sitting Bull rose
and with one stride reached him, placed his
hand over the parsons mouth, and with an
emphatic mo, no; once enough; no more
call down the Great Spirit to crush the
chief marched out.--Cor. Denver Repub-

I heard al unusual commotion outside

Indians, full blooded Sioux from the Mis-
souri, valley, on their way to pay a visit to
the Great Father" in Washington.
Among them was the willy, keen witted,
merciless savage who afterward became so
famOus-Sitting Bull. They had left their
native haunts clad only in their native
garb, but at Bismarck two or three of them
in inducing themselves into some of the
cast oil clothing of Fort Lincoln soldiers.
Over these they had thrown their own
blankets, 50 Sitting Bull had not discov-
cred the change until the next morning.
While openly soothing at such degeneracy,
the interpreter accompanying them told
us the chief was secretly chagrined at not

for himself, and upon his arrival at Fargo
he declined TO be presented to the poten-

As he was resolute in his desire TO have
white mems clothes n contribution was
levied on different members of the encamp-
ment, the result Of which, although salts
factory to him, struck the rest OF us as in
expressibly ludicrous. The only pair of
trousers whose waistband was suited to his
girth belonged to a very short man, and
gave to their present wearer that laugh
able appearance ~inseparable from abbre-
waited neither garments. As no ordinary
masculine sock was long enough to fill the
gap between shoes and trousers, Aunt
Nenny, the huge old negro cook, was call
ed to the rescue, and a pair of snow white
stockings were given to him. There was,
Of course, some difficulty in giving these

difficulty by fastening hose and trousers
together with those useful little articles
known as safety pins.
One of orr brawny teamsters contributed
a shirt. Flannel shirts were in general
wear among our engineers, and a white
one, commonly known as a boiled one, was
an almost unknown luxury. However,
one of the men resurrected one long

Bulls great satisfaction, he was instructed
as to the approved manner Of entrance

Michael Davitt and His Followers
Pelted with Stones.
SLIGO, March 29.-To-day has been the
liveliest day so far in the North Sligo
election campaign. BY o'clock this
morning the streets Were alive with peo-
pie listening to the n1slsic of several
bands. The Parnell contingents, with
their leader, were out by 10 o'clock, en-
gagged in a personal canvass. Parnell met
with a hostile reception at Strand Hill,
where he found it impossible to hold a
meeting. owing to the piercing yells of
his opponents, and he was finally COM
PEELED to retreat to Sligo.
The Bishop of the diocese, together
with the priests of the whole district, de-
nounced Parnell to their CONGREGATIONS
at mass this morning.
Meanwhile the anti -Parnellites, Sexton
and Collery, Maurice Healy and Michael
Dayitt and their party, bent on the un-
fortunate attempt to carry the fight into
the enemy's country, started at O'Clock
in the morning for the Tireragh District.
addressing small gatherings on the way,
till Temphloy was reached.
Here hostile camps had been formed
The Parnellites maintained a sullen
silence, but their opponents, with ringing
cheers, welcomed the reinforcements.
The Parnellites gathered on the brow of
the hill, armed with blackthorns and
other weapons, threatening to move to-
ward their opponents, but the police in
terposed, and with line of bayonets
awed the antagonists, and the storm sub
sided amid muttered threats and curses.
All now moved in the direction of
Dromore West, where, after similar
scene, the Parnellites pelted their oppo-
nents vigorously with stones until they
were chased and dubbed by the police.
Michael Davitt led his adherents off, all
ducking their heads, and some covering
themselves with rugs to avoid the fusil-
lade of stones. Pinkerton, member of
Parliament for Galway, had his head cut,
and there were several other injured ones.
On trying to enter Easkey, the anti
Parnellites found the road barred by a
formidable array of Parnellites, and on
the advice of the police they retreated in
the direction of Sligo amid another
shower of stones and other missiles.
The party reached Sligo in the evening,
where they addressed a large meeting.
They gave detailed account of the DAYS
happenings and the treatment they re-
ceived, which they declared the Parnell-
ite leaders organized on the previous
night in Sligo. The all vowed vengeance.

New YORK, March 29.-Dr. Howard
Crosby died at 5:45 this morning. His
end was peaceful. AS the bells were

son and daughter in Egypt, and three

DIR. Howard Crosby was born in New
York City on February u, 1926. He was
graduated at the University of the City of
New York in 1874, and became professor
OF Greek in that Institution in 1851. In
1859 he was called to the chair of Greek at
Rutgers. Two years later he entered the
ministry of the Presbyterian Church,
and united the duties of pastor of the
first church of New Brunswick with
those of his professorship. In 1863 he
gave up his work at New Brunswick to
become pastor of the Fourth-avenue
Presbyterian Church in New York City,
which place he held at the time of his
death. He also held the Office of Chan
cellor of the University of New York
from 1870 till 1881, and had been since
1864 member of its council. In 1859 he
received the degree of ID. from Har-
ward, and in 1871 that of LID. from
SO1uufDld. ne WAS CHOSEN MOQoraLOr OF
the General Assembly of the PreSby-
terian Church of the United States in
1873, and had often been a delegate to that
body. In 1877 he was a delegate to the
first Presbyterian General Council at
Edinburgh. In addition to his work as
an educator and clergyman, DIR. Crosby
had taken lively interest and exerted
benefcent influence in public affairs, par
tlcularly in advocating temperance as dis
tinguished from total abstinence. In 1877
he took the principal part in founding
the Society for the Prevention of Crime,
whose chief object is the reduction of the
number of saloons and the restriction of
the liquor traffic. Through this society,
of which he had been President since its
foundation, and apart from it, he has
done much in this great work, infu-
encing legislation and the municipal gov
ernment of his own city in so far as it had
relation to the regulation of intemper-
ance and crime. He had also been ac-
lively interested in the welfare of the In

NEW YORK, March GA Christiana
letter to the Tribune says that in recent
years Norwegian statesmen have often
made boast that the next European re-
public would celebrate its birth at Chris
tiana. Since the fall of the Ministry re-
Gently, Herr Stang was heard to say:
1.-The belief seems to be general that the
requiem over the last conservative minis
try has been sung"
King Oscar virtually admitted his
powerlessness to stem the republican
movement in Norway, when he aban-
doned resistance to the nomination of
Steen as Prime Minister. The latter has
forced the crown to surrender, one by
one, nearly all its Norwegian preroga-
tives.
"Unless we obtain the fullest self-gov-
ernment, the fullest equality with
Sweden" exclaimed Steen at a public
meeting few weeks before becoming
Premier, "the union between the two
countries will be completely dissolved
We all hold our beautiful land to be far
too good to become Swedish"
Everything points, therefore, toward a
final separation of democratic Norway
from conservative Sweden, and to the
early establishment of republic at Chris
tiana.

long procession of Celestials followed

brought about by some 200 Caucasians,
who had tramped over the graves, torn
down the shrubbery and jostled the
timid mourners in order to crafty their

burning joss-sticks, perfumed paper and
printed prayers beside the grave, only to
have them almost snatched out of their

with either of the three men named as
guarantee for the purse.''

Club purse for fight between him and
Hall: 1.-The chance has come at last, now,
for an opportunity to pay off old scores.

Australia. then knew very little about
fighting. 1 will give him the grandest
thrashing this time he ever had in his
life. He is better man than Dempsey,
but Jack was an easy mark, and t had
him licked the first time punched him.
Hall is very heavy at present, and the
training he will be forced to undergo in
order to get down to 154 pounds will take
more energy out of him than spell of
sickness. My engagement with Clark
will close in nine weeks, and after good
long rest l intend to train for the fight''
George Clark telegraphed from Chi
cago to Charles Ross, his agent here, that
he had guaranteed a purse of 81, 900, and
furthermore that he would back Fitz-
simmons for $4,000. With equal back
ing on the Hall side, this will make the
largest stake ever fought for, total of

Hall he will make Ted Pritchard, Eng
lands champion, his. next mark, and
then retire from the ring
