"But this is not a beginning of what 1

enough nrticlofl of raro and curious vnluo
to fill ten mich iloora as these. Tliis

conflagration which destroys n city;
but for prudence nnko I keep my mobl

"How long bavo you licen in making
this inavelous collection?"
"Only tlftcen years," responded Mr.
Guntber Hinlliiigly; "but y.m know wo

doing things quickly."
"And you must bavo expended largo

"1 do not know how much I have
spent. I do not want lo know. 1 never
givo any thought to that iart of it. If
did 1 might bo frightened at tny own lav
Isbness," I bavo heard good judges cstimato that
for his vast collection Mr. Guntber must
Imvo expended in nil more than half a
million dollars. Pcrhapj this is too
high, but with thousands upan thou
sands of articles which have cost from
$1 to $1,000, tho aggregate Mini must, in
deed, bo n largo one. I asked Mr. Gun
tber to name his mast valuable article.
"For an autograph of Shakot.pparo,"
Bald be, "tho only ono in America, I

would not buy It."

INDIAN ELOQUENCE.
A CorrrspoiKlrnt Who Docmi't IIcUcto In
II SHi-rli or Whlto Cltiost.
AnnnmxN, I). T., Nov. 15. "Don't talk
to mo nlKnitthcintclligcnccof an Indian,
don't try to fool tho old man alwut tin'
critters. Wo knows a Sioux Indian for a
bloodthirsty rascal, mean nnd tricky as
utiuake In tho natural t.tnte and n glut
ton nnd vagabond ujioii tin reservation."
This npeech w.ij delivered the other
morning by Jake Kinney, ex-freighter
and "bull whacker," of this place,
whoto knowledge of tho red men wan
acquired along in the seventies, when it
cost 0 centt in gold to transport n pound
of freight from Illsniaick to Head wood.
Tho audience ho addressed was made
up of citizens who had just returned
from the ilcixit wberd Sitting Hull, Gall,
John Grass and the other chiefs of tho
Standing Rock bandi had stopped for
breakfast on their return trip from tho
Washington council.
Jake had refused to go near tho In
dian i. "What!" he asked. "Do ou
think I would go down and help feed the
vanity of that pack of assassins? No,
sir. I've recti too much of them already.
Three years on tho Doadwood trail wiih
a bull train would nieken most any one of
tho 'noblo red man.' Many a friend
along that wild road with whom I've cat,
drunk or played Mled-jo' on the up till),
I'vo helped bury on my way back,
killed, perhaps, after housing and feed
ing u band ot the cowardly ingratc.i. If
you had Reen tho fiendish work I have,
If you had driven up ton station tqwii
tlio route nnd found the l;ceKr's wife, as
young and beautiful a woman as ever
trod a prairie, dead, naked and bearing
tho mark l of every indignity that tho
cunning of fiends could niggest; if you
had brought out a settler from Dead
wood, where ho went for supplies a day
or two before, to tb.' ruins or bis home
and the mutilated bod ion of the wife nnd
children lie bad ki.ss.td and left in God's
caro; if you had seen these things, nn 1
bavo tint" and ngeiu, 1 fancy you'd keep
uwav from that elegit, lor fear you
might shoot a few of tho bounds."
llavinr thin delivered himself, the old
frontlerHinan wenied to experience a re
action of feeling. Ho laughed heartily,
drawing tlio long knil' scar tqion liij
rieht check into a mo t ludicrous pucker.
"Laughing at? Why I heard a fello-.y
that just ramo up from the train telling
what an intelligent fellow this John
Grass is, statesman, orator, and all that,
you know. Well, now, thnt'n what
amused me. I'vo heard a good deal
about theso Indians Iwlng good spcakero,
but I've never heard a good ono vet. I've
liccn at their pow-wows in tho fulls, and
heard them make their big kicks at the
agencies, but. if I'm a judge of what
speaking is, there hain't no oratory in u
Sioux.
"Why, hero a year or two ago I was
down tit Chatnlierlain on tho -1th of July.
A lot of bucks ciimo over from tho Unile
agency. Thero wis i a big crowd in town,
and, of courje. every one went to crowd
ing around tho Indians. They caught
rlghton, those Indiantdid. They formed
a big circlo cud told the interpreter, who
wasnlong with them, to tell tbo crowd
tlmt Whlto Ghost would 'tall: to lib
brothers,' or romo such palaver. Well,
tho crowd began to yell 'Whlto Ghost,
speech, speech!' just as if it wna a politi
cal meeting, nnd White Ghost rami) out.
loud have thought lie had something
... -: . , .1.
mighty important to say to see him wall:
out Into tho ring and look at tbo crowd.
The Interpreter went nnd stood near him.
and then it began. Ghost iawed llio air
n miuuteand warbled out something liko
this:
" 'Gobbb te haw makee.'
"Tho interpreter says: 'Whlto Ghost
nays that this is a great day.'
Then White Ghost gobbled off some
more of his talk.
" 'White Ghost says,' repeated tho in
terpreter, 'tint thero aro m my, very
many people.'
"Then tlio old vagabond got excited;
ho swung bis arms and Ming tho longest
song yet. It sounded liko u drunken
man talking with a handkerchief In his
mouth.
"Tho ciov.d thought tbii must bo
something interesting sure, and the In
dians seemed to lie deeply moved, for they
grunt.'d 'Ugh' all around tho circle.
"Well, the interpreter got it oil" at last,
and it ran like this:
"White Ghost says that bis white
brotborjaro very rich; that tho Indian has
como from tbo reservation to see him,
anil that he will take Hour, bams, augur,
tobacco, blankets and other things that
th" jiooplo may bring.'
"Ghost gobbled onco more, nnd tho in
terpreter Kild: 'White Ghost says ho hai
done.' Well, you ought to Imvo hoard
that crowd l.-.ugh. Tho old lascal was as
Boli'iun and impressive about Ids begging
r.iif be wa i declaring war against tho
Crow !, and the crowd thought thoy were
getting real Indian eloquence, and so
thev wow. for if a Sioux can't talk well
on that subject bo can't on any. I tell
you, neutleiucu, that all this rot about
tho wrongs! in tbo Indian disgust i me. It
makes me tired. I'vo teen tlu nnininl
under most nil elrctunstaiicei nnd you
can tabu my word for It, ho deoorves his
fate utter extinction fiom tho fnco ot
tho earth." Fu.v.v.; P. Wiluams.

"Well," said Mr. Lincoln, "Hint's a matter
