REMINDER OF A TRAGEDY.

The eldest son of Sitting Bull, the ia
nous Sioux chief, is a prosperous boot
black in Philadelphia. His Indian
name is Montezuma, but he is known
as Harry Parker. He is a graduate OF
the Indian School at Carlisle, where ne
took high honors in the classics ana
osbIatics The Government educated
and civilized this young Indian, as 1t
had for wears comfortably provided for
his father. one of the blood1est and
shrewdest of the chiefs of the bloody
Sioux. It is nearly twenty-five years
since that terrible tragedy on the Lit
tie Big Horn. A large per cent. of
the soldiers of the present day were not
born then. June %, 1876, Gen. Custer
and five troops of the Seventh Cavalry
were annihilated by between 2, 500 and
1000 Sioux Indians, led by Sitting Bull
and Crazy Horse. The seven troops
which were defeated and forced to re-
cross the river escaped drought the
cool courage and judgment of Maj.
Reno, who was in command. In the
annals of war no more tragic event is
recorded. Young school children can
tell of the charge of the Light Brigade,
of the defense of Thermopylae, and
Southern Children, though few North
ern, know the story of the Alamo Of
the 600 who charged at BaIaklava 70
officers and 147 men were killed and II
officers and 10 men were wounded
Of the 300 who defended the pass of
ThermopyIae a few escaped. Of the
14O men IN the Alamo 80 escaped be-
fore the final massacre. In that terri
BILE tragedy of the Little Big Horn -
officers and 247 enlisted men, civil
lians and 3 Indian scouts were slaugh-
tered. Not soldier lived to tell the
story of that desperate struggle. When
Maj Reno and Gen. Terry arrived
they found that long, low ridge COW
cred with dead soldiers, the ground
heaped with dead Indians, and no liv-
ing thing in sight. The defenders of
Thermopylea were entrenched behind
rocks IN a mountain pass. The six
hundred rode quickly to the charge
and the survivors quickly retreated
The defenders of the Alamo had some
protection against their 1000 assail
ants. Custer and his 265 troopers
fought nearly 5000 welI-armed Indians
of one of the bravest and most feroci
Gus of all the American tribes, IN al
open, nearly level spot, without cover
ing, protection or defense of any sort
Never was there a more desperate
struggle, never more thrilling tragedy
than that.
