INDIANS AT A FEAST. Captain Batchelor Tells About a Banquet Tendered Sitting Bull. "Yes, I once had the pleasure of sitting down to a banquet with Sitting Bull, the Indian chief, who is now a conspicuous figure in the Indian scare,” said Captain C. W. Batchelor to a Pittsburg Leader reporter. "It. was in 1881,” continued the Captain, "I was at that time in St. Paul, Minn. General Haupt, then President of the Northern Pacific ^Railroad, had extended me an invitaWon to ioin him in a trio over the road

UU lut «rpreter, 1 1 gpt hold of the t

1 the Indians into the car. This he did, but the redskins received it with deep, guttural grunts and shaking of their heads. The inter|ireter then informed me that the Indians were afraid that it was a trick to carry them off. Sitting Bull stepped to the front, pointed one of his long lingers toward our engine and ear, and said: "Make ’um move.’ I* was their first glimpse of civilization, and the look

of surprise which overspread their several dusky faces when the engineer moved the car and engine up and down the track was something wonderful. Finding it impossible to get the Indians to board the car, I secured an open ambulance and had the party conveyed to the hotel. Here they were tendered a reception, in which the best people of the town participated. \\ hen dinner time arrived I conduoted my copper-colored guests to the diningroom. It was their first sight of a spread; but. sir. the way those wild men conducted themselves at the table was astonishing. They appeared to grasp the situation at a glance, and I never saw a better behaved set of people sit down to a table. One thing in particular attracted my attention and called for comment, from all the whites in the room, and that was the manner in which these uncivilized warriors i. d their knives and forks. They used the fork exclusively in conveying the edibles to their mouths, a rule of table etiquette so often violated by some swell members of civilized society. The most interesting feature of the meal came, however, when ice-cream was served. The Indians looked upon the cream with suspicious eyes, and none of them would touch or taste it. At my request the interpreter began eating the cream placed.- before him, ami the reds io follow his example? ’they did so. Each one took a large spoon-

ful info his mouih. Then they instantly dropped their spoons, and a series of half-frozen, ‘Ughs’ went up from our guests. A more disgusted looking lot I never saw. They had evidently thought the cream some kind of a warm mixture, and their disgust and looks of surprise caused us to .laugh quite heartily. Sitting Bull is not prepossessing in appearance by any " means, but it lias been so long since I saw him that it would be impossible for me to give you an accurate description of him. 1 almost forgot to mention that 1 am now the possessor of the pipe which the Indians smoked at the conclusion of the banquet in Bismarck. It was presented to me by Sitting Bull, General Haupt, whose guest I was at the time, was in the city recently and we had a good laugh over the ice cream incident.’ Painted by Nature’s Hund. Pliny, a well-known writer of about the time of Christ, mentions having seen an agate the lines and markim’s

of which formed a perfect picture of Apollo and the nine muses. Pliny says that the little children recognized it on sight. In this wonderful natural picture, as well as in the artificial drawings, Apollo was represented seated in the midst of the muses, harp in hand. Majolus, another writer of high standing, saw an agate in the collection of a jeweler at Venice, which, when polished, showed a perfect picture of a shepherd with a cro*ok in hand and cloak thrown loosely over his shoulders.

Strength of a June-Bug. I A gentleman residing on the West J side noticed a very large June-bug flying around his piazza, and proceeded ato capture it, lie placed the captive under a heavy glass tumbler which rested on a newspaper, expecting to examine the insect a little later in the ' evening when he had leisure. On returning to the table where* he had placed the bug. some half-hour later. i he found that it had moved the tumi bier nearly a foot by placing its head H against the side of tne glass and pushi im* it along. In order to be certain

I that the glass had been moved by the I captive, he carefully marked its position I on the newspaper with a pencil, and at R pie expiration of another quarter of an hour found that it had been moved nearly five inches. As the tumbler | weighed at least fifty times as much as ' the'bug, the ease with which it was [ moved’ around on the paper was a I source, of considerable astonishment. [ The ,1 une-bug was less than an inch in ' length, and was restored to liberty it^ - view of the exhibition it had gjv^ t<«i J.. its strength. The lt | by several witnesses

It is called the “No, 0” High Arm Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Machine. ' The “No. 9“ was endorsed for first place by the experts of Europe at the Paris Exposition of 1889, I where, after a severecontest with the leading machines of the world, it was awarded the only — Grand I’rize given to family sewing machines, all C • Others on exhibit havingTa?e^?e<nowT
