Ctoneral H ow a rd D escribes th e Great- D aco ta Tribee. icomuaen, HMM In the exhaustive work of f t & Schoolcraft la to be found an estimate made by Colonel Henry Bouquet as long •go **.1784 of different tribes of the North American Indiana The estimate la taken from h it historical account oi an expedition against wbat were called to s * WOLF. the ' ‘Ohio Indiana” made about that time. Among (jho 03 tribal, divisions which he enumerates are found differ- . en t bands of Sioux, for instance "Sioux of tbe Meadows” and "Sioux of the Woods” They are located "toward* the heads of the Mississippi” Their warriors enumerated for each, of the above di­ visions are respectively 3,000 and l,80C —4,800 la a ll If we take the usual percentage of warriors to represent one- fifth of the Sioux nation,, and aggro- . gate amount of men women and ch}ld-. ten were In the. middle of tbe Iasi cent* ury 01,400. In 1830 in a paper communloated by General P. B. Porter, the Secretary of War, we find a few words concerning the Sioux, Their members then eeti< mated were 15,000. General Porter said: ‘Th is tribe Occupies e very extensive region, stretching from the Mississippi to the Missouri, bounded, on the east by the Chippewa country, and on the south by th a t of the Sacs and Foxes, They are gradually extending West, and h a ts alreedy touched tbe Msndan , Territory. They are errSUo in their oood buffalo . habits, following the buffalo in their migrations, and depending on the hunt fdr their existence. Their different hand* formerly had *n annual masting near the Missouri This custom is d i* appearing, as they extend their eon- quest Westward; and the different bands have lete and less eonneetlon avety gear.” I t We add the "Assinahaines,” then AhOOstrong—who are now often smiled "Assinahainee Sioux,” to thoee who are regarded as the, Sioux proper, the aggregate- in* 188? would have reached 83,000, showing that there had been very little increase In their num­ bers In sixty-five years,, There may, however, be other tribes which should be reckoned among the Sioux a t th* earlier fates. There is very little care* ful estimation on reoord of the actual numbers, or. if on record, so accurst* blow buli . i t „„ te ha littl* dlffereac* between and, the dance we saw. The Indians were painted from head to foot with a vsrlsty of designs upon their chest and Mg and back. Their heads were decked out with feathers, Strips of different colored doth, bits of fur or other small articles, combined to attract attention. They had the nsnal strip of “manta’’ about the waist, and somehadon sachet, bu t otherwise they were naked Their muslo was the usual drumming and singing, done mostly by outside bands who were looking on with delight and oheering their ' companions. The dsnoers kept time with the music. They had some reliefs when any became too tired to continue the operation, so that the p lo t of ground to which tney limited themselves was al­ ways fu ll The grunting and shouting and barking' like cayotes or wolves were particularly exciting to tbe dsnoers, and somewhat so to the strang­ ers. I t seems that In the “Messiah dance” they have sometimes added the oeasns has boon published. Hon. E. P. Smith ?" 1875. reported the to,t»l num- berof Sioux to be 50,000 or 44,009, of, whom 40,000 out of the44,000 were num­ bered by actual count. The number of hostlles then in Dakota under the leadership of Sitting Bull and a few chiefs, was about 7,000. At that time the Sioux were included under twelve agencies, nino in Dakota, two in Mon­ tana and one in Nebraska. Thus we see how widely scattered .they were. At Fort Dunlap, to be fed when tbe game gave out. there were some 8,000 Assin- abaine Sioux. They seemed to have been only the friendlier portion^ of the Awlnahainea, and were rather Inti­ mate with whisky sellers and unlawful traders: ■ . At the old Bed Claud agency there were at tha t time over 0,000 Qgallalla^ according to the reports, who. bad al­ ready almost abandoned the plaoe. That was the year when their feeble oegmmng* in raising crops were -*>u- dared Ineffective by tbe grasshoppers. Among the twelve egenoies we find the lifferent names, Yankton, Santee, Sia- wton, Teton, Unosppua, Black Fit, Cheyenne Elver, Wshpetons and -Flail* lareau. In 1880 the Sioux on the Great Sioux Reservation numbered 38.333, including toe Drain -.fee* ana *anuton agencies- Besides these there were in. Dakota B,751other Sioux a t Fort Berthold, the Sisseton and other' agencies. In Mon­ tana 8,014 Indians of tbe Dskota nation, a part of whom are known aa Sioux. In Montana there were 1,103 Sioux at the Santeo and Flanderoau agencies. From high wour. then until now the numbers have re­ mained practically. the same. The Great Sioux Reservation has, however, been broken up into six smaller ones, and about il,000,900 acres of land have been opened for settlement by white people. Accurate statistics of these sSversl agencies bsvo not been pub­ lished stupe the time of the subdivision, but are substantially as follows: Stand­ ing Rock, 8 , 800 ; Cheyenne River, 8,900; Lower Brule and Crow Creek, 3,000; Routed, 7,WO; Piae Ridge, 8.000; Tank- ton Sioux, AMA Total S8,#0a I t was the privilege of tbe writer to be stationed for about three years south of the Great Sioux Reservation before It had been disturbed by recent legisla­ tion. Visits ware then made by bias twice to the Santee people, onoe to the Rosebud, agency, and once to the Pino Ridge. Tbe Santee* were a t that time already quite advanced in civilisation. They dressed as whit* people, and ap­ peared as well-to-do as ordinary West­ ern farmer*,—tha t la, men who work upon their own land. They had fine schools, which their children generally attended. The Episcopal bishop's School, near the reservation, was the subject of much Interest on account of the ability of the children to read and write sad speak English. The Rosebud agency showed far less progress in the Work of education or civilisation. The Indian agent was afraid of tho Indian, and they had a very complete control over hint, his family, his assistants and a ll their operations. Tho Indians were a t that time Vary jolly, and our party had scarcely reached the agency when their chiefs put in ah appearance to welcome us to tho reservation, end tc offer ns a "dance.” Understanding from tho Interpreters that wo very heartily disapproved of tho "Sun danco.” they determined immediately to amuse us With what * i* then palled tho "Omaha dance.” This was very appropriate to us, as We had just oomo from tho great Olty of Omaha, bu t wo learned th a t the name “Omaha danao” Sprang from a favorite poaoe-danoe of tho Indian band of Omaha*. As tho "Mosstsh datico” hMbooadoSoribod in tho papers, there hed cloud . women; who were never included in the •jOmataa.” The "Sun” dances witnessed by large numbers, say 5,000-or 6,000 in a single encampment, were like the “Omaha danoe,” excepting that for sev­ eral days the Indians prepared certain men by keeping them by themselves, by subjecting them to shOrt diet or fast­ ing, and finally by-attaching a burden to their books or shoulders with thongs passing under the skin, like a “soton.” J-lrnnetimen a buffalo head was the burden, sometimes a selection of lower weight, fastened through cuts not so deep. The dancer was to continue his danoing afflicting himself by prescribed cuts and silts until tbe burden or bur­ dens broke away, or until nature had completely exhausted herself. Often the women, weeping, would compassion­ ate th e victim, if ho was father, hus­ band, brother or son, and sometimes they were permitted to receive the cuts o r lacerations in their llipbs as a substi­ tute, to lessen the anguish of the vic­ tims. These extreme dancers, whom I have called victims, entered into this arrsngement voluntarily, doubtless gaz­ ing up as much as possible toward the great sun in the heavens during tb* whole dance, In fact doing any thing th a t would give them pain. -The object of i t all, as expressed to me, was main­ ly the atoning for what Indiana consid­ ered wrong-doing, and tho reconciling of old grudges and trouble* among themselves, and, doubtless, with a further notion on the part of all partic­ ipants and victims of gaining great cred­ i t for bravery, fortitude and lofty man­ hood. We witnessed the largo circular encampment not many milos from tbe Rosebud agonoy, and we did every thing we could to discourage the In­ dians from'pushing on to tho cruel operations. In facl tho chiefs of bands who were represented there promised with emphasis that they would not al­ low the former terrible lacerations to be repeated. Still, -they have been re­ peated since that time by the wilder portions of tho Sioux nation. At the Fine Ridge agency, then nnder Agent McGilllcuddy, good order and system prevailed. Ho bad ah Indian polioe of perhaps thirty selected Indian n&BD heart . men. They wore the soldiers* blue blouse, and were armed and organised a* a company. Red ClOud a t that time appeared to be contented with the existing state of affairs. There was farming, and there were soma schools, but the main civil­ ising preooss appeared In 1885 to be the use of horses and wagons, with Indian drivers hauling their supplies for over iso miles of roadway from the nearest depot to the agency. The Indians were delighted with their pay for this, trans­ portation, and with tbe incipient inde­ pendence which I t afforded them. The idea of the Indian rising!rom the dead hasheoh taught, by the- “ tonata.” or medicine men, for a long time. They look forward to the time when the In­ dians will rise from tho grays, and When the white men, who havo perse­ cuted them, will he blotted cat, with groat hope and groat enthusiasm. It la said that the Pinto Indian oatno ovor a thousand tail** from N*v*d* to give o truer id**of the coming Messiah, and i t is averred that the Piutae insisted that the Indiansshould not fight, should never shed blood, bnt should await the will and direction of the great Me* slab. Of course the Indians' readily weave their drumming ..and danoing habits into their new inspiration, and the wilder ones among them become still wilder under, the excitement Aft experienced men know that the In dians, under excitement, what they call "becoming mad,” may commit any con­ ceivable outrage. More than five thou­ sand, however, from the Groat Sioux Reservation before the division,* are quite advanced in civilisation, and will always opposo war with tbe whites. O. O.

A Philadelphia gentleman tells this story a t hie own expense. “Some years ago,” he says, “I was in Paris, and 1 visited the Zoological Gardens. As I entered the gate I noticed a young woman selling pieces of bread a t a little stand. The bread was a new variety to me, and, a s it was very tempt­ ing looking and 1happened to be par­ ticularly hungry, I determined upon buying some. Two pieces for a SOUShe Informed me was the oost, and though I told her one would be sufficient, she insisted upon my taking both. As I marched down the avenue I stuffed one piece in my pocket and proceeded to munch the other with much gueto, f o r i was both hungry and democratic, and, moreover, I believed I didn’t know a soul in Paris. "I had diapatohed about half of the first piece, when a t a turn of the road I suddenly came face to face with an old friend from Philadelphia. Of course 1 was glad to see him, hut it was very embarrassing to be ' caught with your mouth full of bread. I would have se­ cured my position by saying- something witty off-hand, bnt unfortunately I couldn’t articulate, so when I shook hands with him I simply pulled out the other piece and offered i t to him. ‘Thank you. no.’ he answered: ‘I’m not hungry.* ‘It’s beautiful bread, though,' I said, persuasively. ‘I just bought it, back there at the gate. Better have some.’ ‘Iff* excellent, 1 know,* he answered, ‘for its purpose, hut even the famed pauper labor of Europe hare- nevgr been known to eat it* “Why what on earth do you mean?* I cried with sudden misgiving. ‘Well, you see,’ he answered deliberately.
