 being the first to ring the new "Liberty Bell," after which 

 "Glory Hallelujah'' was sung for the first time on the Fair 

 Ground. He then laid aside his cap and feathers making 

 a brief address to the largest crowd ever assembled in 

 America, at the close of which, amid deafening cheers, a 

 errand rush was made for the old chief, shaking both his 

 hands, until his arms gave out. He was the first Red man 

 to visit Abraham Lincoln while president f the U. S., 

 again visiting him a short time before his death. He also 

 visited General Grant while president, with whom he 

 smoked "the pipe of peace" receiving thanks for Indian 

 soldiers furnished during the war. H^ is now nearly sev-

 most of which remained unpaid until autumn of 18%. As 

 he said to the Indian cnmmission, "I have gotten to be an
