The Circumstances and the Lady that Combined to Do It. The Invitations, the Trousseau, the Gifts and the Wedding. CH1caGo, June 2, 1875, The principal topic here, at least in social and Military circles, and one that ts discussed in a multitude of bearings, as 1s usually the case on such occasions, is the nuptials of Lieutehant Gen- eral P. H, Sheridan, which occur Thursday even- Ing, in this city, lt is something that bas loosened the tongues of all the gossips and given rise to an endless number of surmises, speculations and Prophecies, When a mau and a war-calloused and time-bardened veteran like Phil Sheridan, suddenly and without warning, gives notice that he has determined to reform, to mend his wa) to take unto bimself a wife, it is not to be won- dered at that all the old grannies in the country are set going with wonderment as to what made him do 80, and how she—tne better half of the alliance—could possibly marry him. Their most serious indictment is that he is so old, and she so young, too, “He might be her father,’ said one. But it matters little, this point of age, for love 1s not bounded by years nor matri- mony by the half-century mark, This is the view the General evidently takes of the case, for now, when he is crowding closely upon the half-way house, he has determined to pause for a moment, take on a live passenger and them resume his journey. > General Sheridan has withstood the wiles of Women and the arts of cogueties much longer than would naturally be expected of a man in his ex- alted oMcial position, His has een a life of gay bachelornsod, surrounded only by such enjoy- ments a8 were to be found in camp, garrison and field. In his declining years, when he has at- tained pretty nearly the summit of military great- ness, he has discovered it will be better to associate with him a partner to lighten his burdens and stréw tne downward path to the great goal with sweet flowers of affection, THE LADY upon whom his choice nas fallen 1s Miss Irene Rucker, second daughter of General D. H. Racker, Assistant Quartermaster Gener: army, Chief Quartermaster of the Muitary Divi- sion of Missouri, She is a lady of many saccom- plishments and decided personal attractions, thongh not what would be termed handsome. In Manner, character and accomplishments she must be superior to the majority of her sex else the dashing Phil woula not have surrendered his Sne was @ bridesmaid st the marriage of Fred Grant last Jall. Miss Rucker bas long been @ iriend of the Sheridan family, being ou mtimate terms with the General's ter-in-law, Althougn the two had often met, it was not suspected by their friends that there was any probability of the young lady kindling THE IMMORTAL FLAME inthe Dreast oftne hero. When the Loutsiana troubles broke out and Sheridan was ordered to | take his departure from Chicago tor the scene of anticipated outbreak, the President intimated to him that it would be the best plan to make the Journey ostensibly one of pleasure or, at least, to give it such an appearance, Then should any- thing happen in Louisiana to demand armed intervention, he would be at the scene to dssume In going South General Sheridan, in addition to the officers whom it was necessary to take with him, invited General Rucker (who got leave for that purpose), nis sister-in-law and one or two others. Miss Irena Racker was also invited, for the purpose of kecp- ing Mrs. Sheridan company. It is sale to assert that it was most EMINENTLY SATISFACTORY TO PHIL. They went South, and were absent several weeks, While they were tn New Orleans, and, while Phil was getting up danéittt despatcnes and periorming the other particular duties which devolved upon him, he nity to vary what might otnerwise have proven ,a somewhat monotonous existence dy parsing a good deal of his time with Miss Rucker. Pail soon round the acquaintance ripening into genuine affection, and, what was more, it was cordially reciprocated, and so when Sheridan lett New Orleans it was as a betrathed man, THE WEDDING will be very quiet. There ts to be no ostentatious display, no decorations at the house, no snobbery, nothing at all in common with the usaal ron of svch events, in the first place, the invitations to the ceremony were simply writ- ten with a pen by some member of the Racker jamiy. Their distribution was circumseribed, ex- tending oniy tu thy leading military officers and their families, the President and heads of depart ments and to but few people tn civil life. In Ont- cago only the select jew have been invited, em- bracing the oMce:s of the Geveral’s stem and sev- eral of tne leading and infivential citizens, Quite elated are those who have deen incinded within the circie of Sheridan's intimate friends. The cer- emony Wili take piace at the residence of the bride’s parents, No. 504 Michigan avenue, at Naif- past eignt o'clock im the evening. It was intimated when the engagement was first announced that Cardinal McCloskey should be called upon to tie the nuptial Knot, but tne General and nis fiancée have come to the sensible conciu- sion that a plain Bishop will be good enough for them. They have, therefore, secured the ser- vices of RIGHT REV. THOMAS FOLEY, Bishop of the diocese of Chicago, and thils shep- herd of the Roman faith im this city wil nave the honor of pronouncing the words which will make the twain one fesn, i Another adepartare from the customary routine ot modern society weddings will be the non- employment of groomsmen and bridesmaids. it ig reported that the reason of this is that there ts no unmarried person of equal rank with the bridegroom in the service and that he would not have any one below mis grade, The oaly corre- sponding rank is that of Vice Admiral. This has deprived some ambitions gir, Who was yearning to stana up with her dear friend, the opportunity of doing so, Although THR TROUSSRAC provided for Mrs. General Sheridan is not exten- sive and does not approach in magnificence of de- tall those which other noted orides have dispiuyed witnin the past year; still it wtil t1 no manner dis- grace the position in honor of whieh tt hi beea manufactured.

The lingering hope entertained until this morn- ing by the department that che Sioux Indians would sign the treaty cancelling tneir right to hunt soutn of the Niobrara, as soon as they saw the Presicent, appears, to-night, to be entirely dispelled, Yielding, Mually, to the firm resojve of the Indians to see him, President Grant, by appointment made threugh Commis- sioner Smith, of the Indiam Bureau, arrived promptly at the department at ten o'clock this Morning and proceeded to exchange views with the Indians, looking to an expected finality, as 7 4 DEVASTATING STORM.

A terrific rain and wind storm passed over this cfty about half-past seven o’viock to-night, doing great damage at various points.

Forsome unaccountable reason the | pnans’ Home, just completed, bat ‘Ue Tepresentatives of the press were excluded from | pied, was levelled to tne ground, leaving the | the interview. The pivotal point on which the Indians were to turn tn @ favorable direction was, however, assured, apparently, when the President told them im 60 many words that. they shoula sign the treaty whicb | according to their own avowal tion, was all that wai by them to make up thetr minds to thatend, His manner was kind and forbesring in the extreme. He took more than usual patn: themin the most simple manner, and treated them in such a fatherly way as to leave no cause for complaint. Even when they had wearted the other oMcials with their sni/ting and sliding man- ner, President Grant used such extraordinary and and exac- unexpected patience as to call for expressions of | praise from trem, and Commissioner Smith, who has had great experience with Indians, says that he neversaw the President appear so much ofa man as he did to-day, But finally having parried with and worstea Spotted Tail and Red Cloud success(ully, he was compelled, after an hour and & half of unsuccessful effort, to persuade them, TO GIVE THE WHOLE THING UP. im disgust, having done his utmost in the limit ofthe time he bad. The Indians gave one excuse | and then another unttl the close of the talk, and it became apparent that they would not sign the treaty. Commissioner Smith now thinks that they resort to these provoxing subteriuges tn order to gain time anu render it physically impos- sible to comply with the wishes of the department on the one hand and their own views on the other, The latter are that the money shall beepaid to them here or sent out to thotr people for division before they will sign, and | then again that it shall be drawn from the Treas- ury and placed in the hands of some one they will Gesiguate for distribution, All of these propos! tions are, on account of the wording of the treaty and the provision of the clause making the appro- Priation, simply impossible, THE SHERMAN TREATY of April 29, 1868, Statutes at Large, fifteenth volume, page 635, which is the basis of all the pending negotiations, is regarded herein the In- dian Department, and among those familiar with Indian affairs, as a bungled affair and a farce, in- asmuch only the banas of Red Cloud ana Spotted Tall are stipulated as the contracting parties among the Sioux, while the im- mense bocy of the Sioux, comprising the Minneconjous ana other nortnern panas, were not considered technically at all in | it, Indeed, the treaty now proposed, if effected, may be enjoyed by them—pro rata—so far as the money will go, as they have accorded to them tne | and Spotted | same rights of hunting as Red Cloud’ Tail’s band, Yet they donot renounce them, vir- tually, according to the obligation of the appro- priation of $25,000, and insisting upon them may go tu Congress fora special appropriation, just as was accorded to the two bands mentioned in order to cancel their rights to hunt south of the Niobrara. But THE TWO GREAT REASONS why they will not sign are, first, owing to the super- stition against signing any obligation which exists among them, and secondly, the diferent | Lone Horn conspicuously and those wno are out that are hostile and not represented hers having refused to be counted are jealous of Red Cloud's and Spotted Tail’s bands ana do not agree. with them in everything. Indeed, it is evident tnat tnere is @ fend be- tween them showing, even now, envy and strong contrariety of opinions, This may thwart | the whole thing, and hence may be reasonably looked on now to have rendered tne treaty tor the application of the $25,000 hopeless avd im- porsibie. Delegates Steele and Biddle, gave thing up to-day, though, as was pitbily said, no one can tell what an hour may bring forth with an Indian. Cc mmissioner Smith, who bas been most san- guine and zealous throughout and conddent of a successful issue with the Sioux, spoke and acted Most cespondently this afternoon. Ho says that he does not know exactly how the case stands With the Indians; that they went home to smoke ever it, and that he is very much disappuinted. There is but oue chance im @ hundred that any- thing can be done with them, Besides the demoralization of the “squaw men," who figure speculatively and prompt the Indians to it, the odium of signing the Sherman treaty is contionaliy cast up among them, and aads in a great measure to their Intractability. No further unaersvanding is as yet had about what will be done to.morrow. INDIANS ON THS WARPATH. Information was received by Dr. Saville to-day, dated at the Neadquarters of the Sioux agency, stating that the Indians there reported several large war parties approaching the agency, and that the troops had several times started out after them, but were unsuccessful in making any cap- tures, It was also added that (here was every tu- dication the millsary, trom their frequent offensive movements, would surely bring on hostilities.
