On foes of every feather, <
So faithful is he to tho trust 1
Committed to his keeping <
That all the birds suspojt he must 1

Sometimes his hat tips down so low
It seems a cause for censure,
For tben some old, courageous crow
Believes it safe to venture;
But catching sight of cither arm
Outstretched in solemn warning.
The crow decides to lea\ e this farm
Until another morning.
Although his dress is incomplete,
It really does not matter;
Perchance the truest heart may beat
Beneath a patch or tatter.
And it is wrong to base our love
On wealth and name and station.
For he who may will rise above
His daily occupation.

And find in him no leauty

And does the whole world duty,
But honor him for native worth,
For rustic independence.
And send a hearty greeting forth
For him and bis descendants.

A UUA1JNI rKUruaAL.
The lilac bush beneath the south window
of Willow Rrook Farm's wainscotted
parlor nodded gracefully as a tiny
zephyr swept gayly by, wafting fur and
near its incense of new mown hay. In
its wake fluttered a purple and golden
butterfly, to poise a moment upon the
window's ledge, then to soar boldly forward
until it lit upon a curious old vase
beside an organ, whose yellowed keys
gleamed softly in the half darkened
room. The butterfly and the vase mirrored
themselves in the polished oak
floor, and if the range had been right
they could have related the picture in
the" shining surface of each urticlc of
furniture.
A young girl was the sole occupant of
the room, with the exception, of course,
of the butterfly, who had winged his
way to a small oval mirror and was busily
making his toilet, us his companion,
humming a merry tune, dusted carefully
a squatty teapot, whose fat little spout
and comic tout ensemble at once inspired
a longing for tea brewed in such novel
? * quarters. At that moment a voice, calling
"Marthy! Marthy!" echoed through
the house, followed by: ''Run?quick
old Tim's in the com licld, and ray hands
are nil over dough!"
Hastily replacing the ancient heirloom
on! a spindle-legged table, the young
girl darted from the room, while the
butterfly, startled at its toilet, spread its
brilliant wings and floated swiftly out
into the sunshine again. Snatching a
snowy sun bonnet from its peg in the
hall, Martha flew down the garden pith
across to an adjasent meadow. In bor
hurry she failed to noticc a gentleman
slowly advancing in her- direction, until
two masculine hands stayed her progress.
"With an exclamation of surprise, Mar
ma nuseu Jiur pretty diuu vjcsuuu uici u
pair of decidedly good-looking brown
ones, gazing with evident appreciation
at the dimpled, blushing face, from oft
which the sun-bonnet had slipped, disclosing
a crop of reddish golden rings
lying close to the finely shaped little head.
"1 beg your pardon," murmured Martha,
the blushes and dimples waxing
deeper, "but I didn't see you, I was in
such a hurry."
"Don't mention it. Wouldn't have
missed the?the pleasure for anything.
I?I like to be run into," averred the
centleman with considerable emphasis.
Such a rippling laugh as bubbled over
the lips of Martha at this speech, which
she hastily apologized for with:
"I didn't mean to, leally; but what
you said sounded so odd."
"You couldn't do it again, could you?
I assure you I never appreciated being a
?odd until to-day. I?"
"Oh, the cow!" exclaimed Martha,
suddenly recollecting her errand. "I
forgot all about him,''and away &he sped,
the gentleman hurrying after, repeating:
"Cow! Him! Let me help you. I?I
really am very clevei with cows. In fact
I would like to make them a study."
However, when the field was reached
no cow was to be seen, nnd remarking
that doubtless some of the hands had
ousted old Tim, Martha turned her steps
toward the house, thinking the gentle

astonishment, however, he kept along by
her side, observing:
"Are vou acquainted at Willow Brook
farm?" *
"Why, ves; it's my home. I was
born there," answered Martha, surprised
ly.
"Happy farm! I mean?a?it must be
a lovely place. You see, the fact is?
that is, I have a note for Mrs. Duncan, of
Willow Brook Farm."
"My mother!" ejaculated Martha
opening wide her blue eyes. Whereupon
the gentleman scanned with newly
awakened interest a square envelope he
had extracted from his breast pocket, as
he added:
"I am an old?I should say my mother
is an old friend of Mrs. Duncan's," mak
'eg a rough calculation of the length of
time it might take, all things favorable,
to place him on equally r s good a footine
with the [daughter, while Martha's
thoughts ran very much in this wise.
"Would be nice looking if he wasn't
so sallow. Wonder if mother will ask
. him to make us a visit. I never heard
her speak of an old friend that had a
son."
By this time they were proceeding up
the path that led to the farm's pretty
rose garlanded porch, and having ushered
the gentleman into the parlor we have
alreadv been introduced to, with a de
mure little courtesy and the words "I
will send mother," Martha left him.
In a few moments a comely, rosy
cheeked woman came hurrying into the
parlor with:
"Good afternooD, sir, Martha tells me
you have a letter for me from an old
frieDd."
"Yes, from my mother," and the
gentleman held toward her the letter.
Having read it through, interrupted
with exclamations such as "Bless me!
Who'd have thought it!" Mrs. Duncan,
her pleasant lace d?epcning into a
smile ejaculated:
"So you are little Paul Dorsey. My!
how time flits. When I last saw you,
you were only a little shaver. It must
be nigh onto fifteen years ago. And to
tliink of Lucindy's remembering me all
these ycirs and sending her son to see
ne. Not ihat I have forgotten her?not
a bit. Only with cne thing and another
one hasn't time to think much of old
days. You see you.-ma and I went to
the same academv, and we thought a
sight of each other; only somehow after
both of us married we sort of drifted
apart. Your ma 3he married a wealthy
city man, while I got wedded to a wellto-do
farmer, and so gradually we each
went our own way. Not to forget each
other though, as you see, and now, my
dear, excuse the liberty, but it comes
natural like, being your Lucindy's son,
I'll send one of the men down to the village
after your trunk, and you'll just
stop along with us and be as welcome as
my own son, if I hid one, and Marthy
and I will do our best to make you com- j
fortable," and motherly Mrs. Duncan
laid her hand with an approving pat upon
Paul Dorsey's slightly stooping shoulders,
while lie, coloring somewhat, endeavored
to thank her for her warm hospital
tv, but was cut shoit with:
"Bless you, it's no put out, we have
lots of room, und it wil be a real pleasure
- to me to see Lucindy's son making himself
to home in ray house."
And thus it was that Paul Dorsey be
came a guest at Willow Brook Farm.
That evening after her visitor had retired
Mrs. Duncan observing to her
iaugther:
"Poor young man, he hasn't a bit of
appetite. I don't wonder Lucitdy is
fretted about him. She writes that he
is always that taken up with books, that i
she can hardly ever coax him to go
about a bit with young folks and enjoy ]
himself. Pve been thinking: Marthy, if j
you was just to kind of make believe j
you need his help now 'and again about <
the garden and such, it would do him a <
' sight of good, and he'd never suspect it 1
was for the sake of his health," and Mrs. ]
Duncan laughed, a low, pleased laugh, j
at the thought of the deception, while I ]
Martha exclaimed: . ]
, "Why, mother! you are getting to be
a regular conspirator. But I am afraid |
it won't work*he's so?so odd.,:
Paul Dorsey had been told to make j i
himself perfectly at home; so the morn- t
ing after his arrival he withdrew from e
the breakfast table to his own room, and 11
forthwith commenced to unpack his t
books preparatory to a good day's study, t
Everything was at last arranged to his 1 t
satisfaction, but somehow his thoughts ' e
ware stronrely wandering this day, al- I 1
si

hough not a souud disturbed the cool | \
luietness of his surroundings. A pair |
?f blue eves seemed to glance mockingly

and he caught himself repeating
iloud the old-fashioned name of t
"Marthy," which took unto itself the
jweetest of sounds by reason of its connection
with so pretty an owner. Suddenly.
with a thud," the book fell from t
his hand, as, exclaiming: "By Jove! c
that's her voice," Paul Dorscy, with one ^
stride, was at the window making sad s
havoc of the dainty dimity curtains with (|
clumsy hands. * t
Martha, accompanied by a tall stalwart c
fellow, was passing down the garden .
path, her infectious laughter floating
merrily upon the balmy air as she
chatted jwvay to the young man at her
side, who appeared 10 be enjoying the
subject under discussion as much as herseif.
As they disappeared from viewPaul,
with rather a blank look, resumed
his seat and sought to apply himself to
his interrupted task, but not with the
old ardor did he work, and for the first
time that he could remember, he listened
anxiously for the bell to summon
him to luncheon.
The days slipped into weeks, and still
Paul Dorsev remained a guest at WillowBrook
Farm, and it became no unusual
sight to see him obediently following
Martha's directions concerning the uprooting
of certain weeds, or the fastening
of some vine more securely about its
iinnnvf An honest, bronze tinse had ,
replaced Paul's once sallow complexion, j
and the books?well, they had become
secondary, a more potent charm having ,
outrivaled them. Mrs. Duncan con- j
gratulates herself upon her happy forethought
that was working such a change (
in her friend's son, and Martha admitted t
with a slight blush, that Mr. Dursey ,
wns getting to be almost as handsome as r
her cousin Joe?her beau ideal of manly t
beauty heretofore. .
The sun burned scorching hot upon '
the broad gravel path just outside of f
the farm's pretty parlor, but within thai j
quaint room u restful coolness held sway. (
Lounging idly in the depths of a willow r
chair, was Paul, while Martha, seated at ,
the old organ, drew from its aged keys a j
low, plaintive melody. As the last note t

her seat, Martha exclaimed :
"Do you know, Mr. Dorsey, Ton .
have been wasting the whole morning? I
don't believe you have looked at a book
for two days"?this last, it must b.owned,
with a slight air of triumph as
she continued, penitently: "I am afraid
I have been to blame, but to morrow I
will leave you free to spend thb whole
day with your books, for Cousin Joe has
promised to drive me over to Dapleston
to do some shopping."
' Hang cou6in Joe"? s
"Mr. Dorsey!" from Martha's astonished
lips. j
"I beg pardon, I really?I hope you j
will have a delightful time, Mis< Dun- t
can. I assure you 1 shall a?enjoy it lm- r
mcnsclv being left to my books and? t
confound it! Excusemc I?" ,
And before Martha could reply, Paul t
Dorsey had left the room. t
"How queer it is," soliloquized Mar- r
tha, as Paul's departing footsteps echoed t
through the hall? "I don't sec why he *
should dislike Joe so; Joe is always such (
a favorite with every one. I hone I haven't .
offended him. I am sure I didn't mean t
to." And with rather a puzzled look j
upon the fair young face, Martha closed .
the organ. ,
That evening as Martha stood down by (
the meadow gate caressing oli Doxey, i
the mare, her quick ears caught the t
sound of a familiar tread advancing to- (
ward her, and a moment after a voice
exclaimed; ,
"I am an idiot, Miss Martha, but I?I '
hope you will forgive mc. I couldn't '
bear the idea of his monopolizing you
o)l /low T Irn.wr "nil s?rmlrl nAVPr tninlc
of anold bookworm like myself?still I j
?I have been very happy, and I forget j
sometimes that?that there is such adif- 5
ference between us." ^
Martha's cheeks had been growiug r
rosier and rosier, while a strange, wild c
joy surged through her veins, as she an- c
swered, her tones trembling slightly.
"Since I can remember Cousin Joe and c
I have been playmates, and since father ,,
died he has been so good and kind to a
mother, helping her about the farm and
in every way, that he has become like a j
son to her, and as dear as a brother to
me. Dear Joe! I don't know wl.at wc r
should have done without him.1' She c
paused, the tears gathering in her pretty
eyes. Paul drew nearer, then hesitated,
as Martha continued:
''Joe is eugaged to my dearest friend, *
and they arc to be married in just six
weeks." >
' I am awfnllv glad?I mean I wish *
them joy, and all that sort of thing,"
and Paul Dorscy advanced still nearer
the little figure into whose eyes a sweet
shyness hail stolen.
".Martha, do you think there is a t
ghost of a chance for me? As it's my j
first attempt at anything of the kind, ^
perhaps you will sum it up leniently, and
make my sentence as easy as you can,"- t
then gathering couragu from Martha's ^
half averted faco. and the extreme pink- t
ness of the one visible car, he laid bis t
hand caressingly upon hers, adding:
"Martha, do you think you can forgive j
me for?for loving you?"
"Why should I forgive yon for what I .
have done myself?" came the low answer, j
followed naively by, "But I did not
know it until to-day, when I thought I '
had offended you." - *

odd?or anything?" stammered Paul, in t
bis excessive joy.
"You arc not a bit odd," was tbc indignant
reply; "I wouldn't have you any
different," and .Martha touched shyly the
coat-sleeve in close proximity to her |
waist, whereupon she immediately dis- ,
appeared from view, and from some- ,
where in the region of Paul's waistcoat J
pocket a muffled little voice might have (
been heard ejaculating: (
' Oh, Paul i suppose somebody is look- !
ing?" (
"I hope they are," was the audacious ,
reply, succeeded by a second disappear- (
ance on Martha's part. .
* * * * * *
A week or so later a stylishly-dressed, ^
middle-aged lady was sitting teto-a tete ' .
with Mrs. Duncan, who was observing:
"Dear me, Lucindy, you've no call to ,
thank me. I had nothing to do with it.
Not but what I am real pleased that your ,
sou and my daughter should comc to- j
gether; but I had no more thought of it {
than yourself." j
A slight smile stirred the lips of Mr*.
Dorsey as she remarked: t
"You are iust the same as ever, Mary, j (
Well, if Martha only turns out half as
good a woman as yourself, i am satisfied ?
that Paul has won a treasure." j
"And he'll never forget, mother, that j
he owes that treasure to you, for if you t
had not sent him to seek out your old j
friend he'd have remained a bachelor to (
thn mid nf his da vs." intprrnntnd a mns- 1

The llong Kong race week is one of

An Incident of tlie War.
War creates attachments more lasting
than any other, and which are not
severed except in death. An incident of
' the war established [ etween General
Kosecrans and General S. W. Price, of
this city, peculiar relations, which, so
far as General Kosecrans is concerned,
seem never to lose their force. In the
terrible struggle of Stone river, when
General Kosccrans' right was forced bnck
and almost crushed by the Confederate,
advance, General Kosccrans sought out
General Price, then in command of a
brigade and holding a position of great
importance, nnd addressed him thus:
' General Price, you command here,do
you?"
Yes sir."
"Well, sir, will you hold this ford?"
"I will try, general.
"Will you hold this ford?"
"I will die in the attempt."
"That won't do," replied General
Kosecrans. "Sir, will you hold this
ford? Look me in the cyo and tell me
if you will hold this position?"
General Price answered, "I will."
"Th:it will do," replied General
Kosecrans. "I bid you good day."
General Price redeemed his promise;
hft hold the ford. On the following
lir, endeavor to look dignified, but on'y
ucceed in appearing supremely absurd.
Hieir coolies, if ia private employment,
ire habitually clad in light, bright coton
liveries?barefooted of course?and
heelTcct ia thoroughly Oriental and
ather pretty. There, I see, is the chair
)elonging to the establishment of the
governor of the colony. It is born by
our coolies in. our brilliant national
carlet uniform, and this dazzling color,
n the midst of the Chinese green, yelo\v,
and blue, really looks very imposng.
There is a different sort of a
hair, carefully covered and closed
iround with straw lattice work. It veils
rom public view some Chinese beauty
>f high degree. Soldiers under the
ank of sergeant arc forbidden by garriioa
order to travel in rickshaws.
The Europeans arc oa'.y as units
imoug thousands. True, the natives,
ligh aud low, rich and poor, afoot or
ransportcd, will iustantly shrink aside
it the incessant warning. "Hyah," of
he running coolie, who thus intimates
hat he is conveying an Englishman, but
he enormous majority of the streaming
hrong is, of course Asiatic Chinese. The
oute is lined with palms, with banyan
rees, aud with bamboos, and the red,
ever-causing, disintegrated granite dust
i.-3 up into our faces. "Up go the
imbrclias. Up hill, and my
rotting coolie never flags; down
nil, and his speed becomes so breakneck
hat every moment I ojcpcct an upset, a
ollision, or a smash, irrespective of the
:ontingency of broken bones to a few
chiglish foot travelers, who would scorn
,o move out of the way for any number
)f Chinese cries of ''Hyah."
Here we are at the entrance to the
jrand stand. A payment of about $5
>rocures admission to the lawn, and
mcc more the strangeness of the scene
eems for a time to bailie any systematic
>bservation, however painstaking. In
:eu of stands are some seven or eight
arge mat houses, light, picturesque
tructures, supported on bainbo.) poles,
vith sides and roofs of rushes, and dccoated
with tropical evergreens and bright
:loth or calico, the ellect of which is ex
:essive!y pretty. Each mat house is the
>roperty of some one private individual
ir of an association, and the refreshnents
provided are so ccstly and abundint
that the imputation of excessive eatng
and immoderate drinking can scarcey
be resented.
The race crowd, without which a race
nccting is as dull as a German steeplebase,
is of large proportions, with lepesentatives
of nearly every Asiatic state,
>ut, of course. Chinese enormously promoderate.
Nearly all arc chattering,
ind quite all arc in high good humor,
njoying the general sense of holiday,
s'ot a single case of drunkenness did I
ee?no bickering, no rowdyism, and yet
io lack of fun.
The saddling bell rings, the numbers
ire hoisted, a thud of hoofs announces
he preliminary canter. Well, what of
he racing? Beneath criticism, almost
>encath contempt. The ponies arc from
Australia, Japan or Chefoo?doubtless
erviceable for the work of their respec
ive countries, but as racers, wretched,
vcedy, groggy, undersized brutes: while
lie jockeys are the paraphernalia of
heir business, the preposterous length of
heir legs, their heavy weights, their
lorse coping idiosyncrasies, and their
ndifTerent riding.
I bought a very average type of racer
or t(> 10s. In fact, the sport is merely
i peg ou which to hang the love^of
jambling. which, like the love of drink,
uns very high in this part of the world.
Innumerable and high prize lotteries are
started, and three legged sciews are
nerely bought and entered on the off
;hance of winning the stakes, which, in
iddition, are very considerable.
While pondering ou tlie scenc, my atention
is suddenly aroused by an unvonted
hum, bustle and cxcitcment
unong the Chiuese mob. A race is in
course of being run, but to this incident
:hey are habitually very ine'li Tcrent.
Something unusual is certainly arousing
:hem. llere comes the horses. IIow
piecr the jockeys look, how strangely
hey are huuehed up, how wildly they
:hrow theiar arms about, how liercely
:hey llog, what diabolical faces?and,
iless my heart, why, they have got pig:ails
streaming in the wind! The puzr.le
is explained. It is a race ridden
inder special arrangements by Chinese
1,inafoos''or grooms?the best race of the
neeting, the only one which has caused
iny real enthusiasm, Roused by the halfaughter,
half-cheers, of their white masers,
stimulated by the cries of their felow
countrymen?"Go it, Ford ham!" I
>?ce heard an encouraging Chinese lad
ihout?the mafoos, as they "finish" up

hey strutted about in all the pride of
ockcycaps and jackets, and how they

moment?
The tenants of the numerous mat-fashoned
grand stands belonging to the
ligher cluss natives have become very
ubilant aud vivacious in consequence of
he above-described race, and I avail
nyself of an opportunity to enter one
enantcd chiefly by Chinese and Japantse
ladies. 1 must confess that my bashillness
compelled me to retreat after a
ery few moments from the battery of
heir half - wondering, half scornful
;lances at the European intruder, but not

A wide detour round a ditch brings us

ooths' for high-priced drinkables, gumling
booths for low priced carrion; each
ootn wilh an eager throng of both sexes
nd of all ages around it, which renders
irculation dillicult.
What is this fragrant and yet somei'hat
sickly smell, a mixture of burning
pi Is an.i sandal wood, emanating from
ome of theclosed chairs conveying home

upon subsequent inquiry found that it
was considered among the islauders
one of the greatest compliments a lady
could pay to a gentleman.
A new fashion is just beginning in
Paris. The trimmings of the hiijh hats
are all to be placed at the back, and the
effect is just as though the hat had beenput

whole cascade of featheis is thus placed
on some of the hats, with the curly tips
just showing from a front view. Or else
it is a shower of loops in moire ribbon
that falls from the crown to the very

Russian Peasant Superstition.
The Russian peasant was a difficult
problem to deal with, writes a correspondent
of the San Francisco Chroni- i
cle. It is difficult to convey an idea of
how much ignorance and superstition is
mingled with his shrewdness and com- i
mou sense. The worship of sacred pictures
or "icons" is the strangest of all. i
There is one in every room aud every
shop, one in every bed, behind every 1
door, in every niche. These pictures are ]
woishipcd, not on account of the holy
personages they are supposed to repre- !
sent, but because they are believed to be I
personally capable 01 coaiernug lempo- j
ral benefits, of curing illness, or warding
of! evils. They arc usually found I
by priests buried in some neglected spot. <
Their existence is revealed in a vision, a '
pilgrimage is formed to discover thcra, <
I and when found they arc carricd in tri- i
uinph to the places they arc intended to <
adom. Groups of pilgrims may be seen i
in all parts of Russia searching for icons or 1
fulfilling some vow made to them. When- i
ever I ring for my waiter, his lirst net
after opening the door of my room is to
bow to the icon over the window. When i
I open a shop door a bell rings and u t
little icon pops out, to whom the shop- i
keeper first does homage before he waits r
on me. In the streets there arc chimes 1
with icons iu them, the churches arc full i
of them, and one hangs over the arch- 1
way that leads into the Kremlin, to 1
whom the emperor himself must doll his
hat. When the French entered Moscow
! a company of Napoleon's grenadiers in (
vain endeavored to dislodge this icon.
Jt resisted their utmost efforts. Kven I s
cannon had uo efTect upon it, and it j
hangs there still. Such is the mujik's ,
account of it. lint if the Greek devotee
is superstitious, the Russian l'rotestant
i is none the loss so. This sect, who, t
; however, are not numerous, deem it a
deadly sin either to eat a potato or drink 1
a cup of tea. No objection to vodka. 1

HOW GEN. CUSTER DIED.
&. TALK BETWEEN AST OLD SOLDXEB
AITD, SITTING BULL.
Raln*in-1he>Face't Claim to be
Cuater'N Slayer Disproved?'The
Battle oil the Little His Horn.
The exact manner of the death of Genera!
George A. Custer at the battle of
Lhc Little Big Horn has always been a
mystery, for the reason that there is no
living white man who was a witness of
that sccne. The Indians who did the
deed, and especially Sitting Bull, who
commanded them, have always been very
reticent about the matter, and their side
of the story has never l een fully told
until now. Important and most interestesting
evidence has come into a Record
reporter's hands.
Before presenting this new story, it.
will be necessary to recite the circumstances
leading up to the light in which
Custer lost his life. It will be remembered
that in the spring of 1876 the Sioux
tribe of Indians, whose reservation was
in Dakota, and who sometimes wandered
into Montana and the British Northwest,
had become aggressive, and that frequent
charges had been made against
them of murder and theft. They finally
lmrat inonv frnm flio control of the
agents. The aid or tho war department
was invoked. The Seventh Uuited
States cavalry, of wich General Custer
was the commander, in response to
orders, quickly took the field and started
in pursuit of the ''renegade" Sioux.
After a hard ma'-cb, following the
trail made by the Indians, scouts brought
in word on June 21th. that the enemy
was only a short d stance in advance,
and it was further learned that the camp
of the redskins, which was a very large
one, extended along the Little Big Horn
creek or river, [an affluent of the Big
Horn, for some four or five miles.
Custer's plan of attack was to divide his
force, the sccond portion being under
command of Major Reno, and to strike
the Indians at both ends of their camp
simultaneously. On the morning of
June 25th, all arrangements having been
made, Custer with his men filed oft' to
the right, or down the stream, while
Reno went to the left. The latter was
the first to arrive at the objective point,
and immediately charged across, the
stream and began the attack. A stout
resistance was met with from the Sioux,
and, after being surrounded in the timber
.md forced to dismount his men,
Reno saw that he was greatly outnumbered
aud that his only chance of safety
was in regaining the bluffs across the
creek from whence he had come. At
the command the men sprang into their
saddles and made the ^charge. They
did hot arrive at a place of safety without
considerable loss. Here they inJ

ble iind fought the Indians nil that night
aud the next day, until General Terry
came up with liis expedition aud relieved
them. Soon after Reno's men had become
engaged on the first day Cu9ter pot
into position and made his attack, as
was arranged. He was more uufortunate,
however, than Reno, for the Indians,
swarming around him, overwhelmed
his command, completely patting
to the sword all his .detachment to
the last man. Not a single one escaped
to tell the tale.
Last week, when a litcord reporter
went out to Beacon park to visit Buffalo
Bill's Wild West show he v ns accompanied
by John Ryan, well and favorably
known as a police officer in the service
of the city of Newton. Ryan ha& had a
most remarkable military career. lie
was a gallant soldier of the late war, having
served a term of four years in tie
Twenty-eighth Massachusetts Regimen';,
during which he was repeatedly and severely
wounded. When the war closed
hia militurv ardor was not bv anv means
cooled, nnd he enlisted in the Seventh
Regular Cavalry, General Custer's regiment.
He served two terms of five years
each with that commander, and was in
all the expeditions, and in all the Indian
lights iu which Custer and his regiment
were engaged Ryan was an active and
gallant participant. In the final battle
with Sitting Bull he bore the rank of
orderly sergeant in Captain Frenche's
company, and was in the detachmcnt
of the regiment under the command of
Reno. Or course, iu all these campaigns
he came to know nearly all the prominent
scouts and frontiersman, and lie and
Buffalo Bill are old friends/ having been
on many a scout ^together. When Ryan
learned that his old enemy, Sitting Bull,
was In town, it was very natural that he
should desire to talk with that redoubtable
warrior, and tho llccord reporter arranged
a meeting between them.
The meeting took place in the ten^of
Buffalo Bill, who introduced Sitting Bull
to Sergeant Ryan and the reporter, and,
summoning an interpreter, said that if
the old chief could be got to talk he
should be very glad to hear the "powwow."
At first Sitting Bull showed no
disposition to talk. But presently Sergeant
Ryan drew from his pocket a blood
bespattered cavalry guidon and asked
Sitting Bull whether he had ever seen a
flag like that before.
The Indian showed a sudden awakening
of interest.
"Yes," he said.
"When was it?" asked Sergeant Ryan.
"When wo had the fight and killed
Custer's men," said Sitting Bull, through
tho interpreter, "we got a number of
them. Where did you get it?"
"On the second day of the fight," answered
Ryan, "I saw an Indian ridingup
and down in front of our lines displaying
this flag. Another man and myself,
who had long-range riflep, fired at him
repeatedly, and finally dropped him off
his horse. When night came on I crawled
out and brought the flag in."
Sitting Bull then said:
"On the first day's tight do you recollect
an Indian mounted on a black horse
who was armed with a 'camp-st c .' (an
Indian lance), and was cheering and urging
on his men?"
Sergeant Ryan?That was -when you
were trying to break our skirmish line.
The chief was 200 or 300 yards away,
and I fired on him a number of times.
Sitting Bull (with much merriment)?
That was me. Soon after that I went to
the scene of the fight with Custer, and
was not in the battle after that day. 1
remember when two of your pack mules
charged down to the water from your
camp on the bluff. They were loaded
with ammunition, and we used that ammunition,
as well as what we got from
Custer in the second day's light. When
I went to take charge of the battle at
the other end of the valley, where Custer
made his attack, I left Crazy Horse in
command of my young men who weie
fighting you and Reno.
Sergeaut Ryan?Was the fight going
011 when you got there?
Sitting Bull?Oh, yes! We had them
surrounded.
Sergeant Ryan?It has been stated
that Rain-inthe-Face cluimed that he
killed Custer. Did he?
Sitting Bull?There is no truth in it.
5o many were firing at Custer at the same
time that no one could tell whether he
lit him or not.
Sergeant Ryan?You are telling the
ruth there. I was in command of the
ietail that buried Custer after General
Terry came up. There were a number
)f bullets in Custer's body, and he and a
icwspaper man named Kclley were the
jnly ones whose bodies had not been
militated. Say, who was it that smashed
lie head of Captain Tom Custer, and
ivhat became of the prisoners?
Sitting Bull?I don't know about that.
The young men and squaws had to do
vitli that. As near as I can tell, I had
indcr me 4,000 warriors, and ihcre were
n the camp from (!,000 to 7.000 women
n\d children. There were 1.500 or 1,700
odges, and the camp was four or five
rules long, ail in me vauey oj me uituu
Jip Horn. How many men did you
lave?
Serjeant liyan?Six hundred all told.
Sitting Hull?IIow many killed with
Justcr?
Sergeant Ryan?Two hundred and
leven.
Sitting Bull?How many with Reno?
Sergeant Ryan?Six.
Sitting Hull?IIow many wounded?
Sergeant Ryan?From sixty to seveny;
some of the wounded died.
Then Sitting JJull went on to say that
ic withdrew from the Held as soon as
le got information lhat General Terry,
,vith a superior force, was advancing to
ittack him.
"How many," asked the reporter,
vere killed on your side?"
Sitting Bull replied that he did not
enow, but that there were a great many
cilled and wounded.
The conversation extended much
urther than this, but the facts which
lad been drawn out seemed to have
sstablished certain important facts, and
he reporter withdrew.. The commonly
iccepted account of Custer's death, in
vhich Rain-in-the Face is represented as
lis slayer, will have to .yield before this
version, confirmed as Sitting Bull's story

Two Great Banning Horses.
Among the hundreds of fine places in
Woodford county, Ky., there are none
which show up to tetter advantage than
the old Harper hoTtte, and thero is certainly
no spread of horseflesh to be found
anywhere upon the face of the earth that
will equal what is to be seen there. II
is not a large ono, but makes up in quality
what it lacks in quantity. Here are to
be seeu the finest representatives of two
of the most remarkable sires that have
ever figured in turf history?Longfellow,
the sou of imp. Leamington, and Ten
Broeck. the son of imp. Phaeton. Longfellow
is a great big horse, standing
fully seventeen hands high, with a long,
well shaped neck, beautiful head, deep
chest, light flank, with an unusual
length between the hip and shoulder,
and presents, as a whole, a most remarkable
combination of bone, sinew and
muscle.
As you look at him you cannot but
think that the correct name was selected
for him. Indeed. I have heard that the
great poet once took occasion to thank
old John Harper for the compliment he
had paid him in naming this horse for
him. The old man took the matter
quietly (he was not much in literary affairs),
and remarked to a friend that he
had never lieard of the gentleman bofore,
but had named the colt Longfellow
because he was a long fellow. Leamington,
the eire of Longfellow, was a horse
of fair performance upon the English
turf, but was not considered a success
whilst in the stud there. When introduced
in America he proved to be a phenomenal
sire, getting a long list of progeny,
and sending Parole and Iroquois
back to his native lund to show his old
friends what he could do in the land of
liberty, Iroquois capturing the Derby
and St. Lcgcr, and Parole taking in
several less events. Nearly all his get
were winners of more or less celebrity.
I feel the lack of horse education and
the consequent poverty of descriptive
phraseology as I approach Longfellow's
stable companion, the great son of Phaeton.
Ten Broeck is a blood bay, sixteen
and a half hands high, with a small star
in Ills forehead, and may be taken as a
model of perfection in all that a tbor
ough'jred horse should be. He is coupled
much shorter than Longfellow, which
adds much to the beauty of his symmetry.
He is a rare combination of muscular
development, with very broad
hocks, long, firm set whirlbones, immense
chest, broad hips and the most
cof ri f T OVPf flfHV lindf?r
ahorse. -In standing in bis rear the
muscles above his hocks, which give the
driving power, appear so unusually
large they convey the impression of being
a deformity. He could be shown anywhere,
without telling hi3 name or
lineage, and would never fail to attract
an audience. As the groom led him
from his stall for exhibition fo several
visitors, he seemed to be conscious of
what they had come' for, and willing to
gratify their.curiositv. In disposition he
is perfectly kind. A stranger could
go into his stall, bridle and
lead him forth without the least, danger.
He is the most remarkable horse of which
the world has any record. There have
been other horses that have made themselves
great names by their performances
upon the turf, but they have nearly all
done so by some display of special merit.
One will develop as a great mile horse,
another will show his quality at two,
three or four miles. The exceptional
time made at the different distances hasnever
been adorned with the name of the
same horse more than once. It remained
for Ten Brocck to contribute both time
and distance, by obliterating all records
of either. He made the fastest mile ever
run, moved up a peg, and set the standard
for two miles, repeated the performance
at three miles, and without apparent
effort added the crowning triumph
to his list of victories?beating the un

A Storj About Ferdinand Ward.
George P. Lathrop tells in the St. Louis
Post-Diytatc/i the following story about
Ward, the notorious New York financier,
now an inmate of Ludlow street jail in
that city:
, A wealthy resident of some prosperous
New England city called on Ward one
day with a note of introduction from a
mutual friend. In the course of conversation
he remarked that ho had some
money to invest, and asked Ward if he
couldn't tell him of some chance to put
it where it would bring a good margin
of profit.
Ward said that he didn't know of anything
just then. He himself had more
money than he knew what to do with,
and beside, he was too busy with some
big schemc of his own to go in!o any
outside speculation. ' Of course, this only
whetted the New England man's appetite
for investment, and in the course of
half an hour ho induced the famous financier
to accept his cheok for $58,000, to
be used in one of tho "blind pools" of
which Grant ?fc Ward made a specialty.
Three or four months later the
New England man appeared again.
By that time Ward had entirely forgotten
him and his check and it was with
great difficulty that he cou!d recall his
name und the amount of his investment.
"I believe there's something due you?"
he said, after a brief converation. Taking
down a large ledger he made some
brief calculations, and then observed
with a pleasant smile: "The amount
ercdited to you on our books is $102,704."
Then to the bookkeeper: "Mr.
Jones, will you kindly draw a check to
Mr. Perkins' order for $102,754?"
vvuru cmruiy luiiicu iu uis ?vuin.
while his visitor sat gasping for breath.
Iu the language of the day the visitor
was "paralyzed." It was some time before
he could control himself sufficiently
to usk if there wasn't any chance for him
to reinvest his money and double it
again; but Ward didn't seem anxious,
and at last the stranger took his departure,
got his check certified at the Marine
bank, and returned to his native town.
Three days after he walked into Ward's
office in company with four of the
wealthiest of his townsmen. He had his
certified check?the same one Ward had
given him?in his pocket, and his friends
were supplied with checks of their own.
They succeeded in inducing the financier
to accept about $350,000 for investment
in another "blind pool." That
was exactly one week before the failure
of Grant & Ward.
Want of Tact.
Throw a bone at a dog, and he will
run off with it in his mouth, but with
no vibration in his tail. Call the dog to
you, pat him on the head, let him take
the bone from your hand, and his tail
will wag with gratitude. The dog recognizes
both the good deed and the
gracious manner of doing it. Those
who thrjw their good deeds should not
expect them to be caught with a thankful
smile. The following anecdote illustrates
how a generous action may be
marred by the want of that tact which
associates graciousness with goodness:
A good but uncouth deacon of a New
England church called on the wife of
his minister, and after the usual exchange
of greetings, said:
"Mrs. Blank, don't you want some
pears?"
"Yes, deacon," was the reply, "I
should be a lad to have some."
"Well, then," said the old man, "y.ou
jest send down to my orchard and hev
jestasmenyes you want picked up.
Thar's a sight n 'ein on the ground, and
my old marc won't eat 'em, so I'd jest as
lieves you'd hev 'em es not!"'
Although the pears were rejected by
the deacon's mare, the minister's wife
overlooked the odd terms in which the
offer was made.
This same young wife visited one of
the old and lone widows of the flock,
and was received with warm words of
wclcomc by the aged dame.
'How d'ye do?" said the ancient person.
"I'm powerful glad to sec you;
I was so longing to sec some creetur!''

A Cliiliau Hero.
There have never been but two '-handto-hand"
fights between iron-c!ads in
the history of naval warfare. One took
place in Hampton lioads, between the
Monitor and the Merrimac, as we all
know. The other was at Iquique, Peru,
between the Peruvian ram Huescar and
the Chilian iron clad Esmeralda. Admiral
Gran, a Peruvian of German
ancestry, commanded the former, and
Arthur Pratt, a Chilian of English
ancestry, the latter. The Huescar was
the swifter and more powerful vessel,
and struck the other amidships. As she
was sinking Grau struck her again, and
as the two vessels came together, Pratt
sprang on board the Huescar, with two
revolvers, and killed seven or eight men
before he was shot down. His vessel,
the Esmeralda, with all on board, went
to the bottom of the ocean, and he lay
alone on the deck of the. victor, surrounded
by the bodies of the men he
killed. For this desperate act the
Chiilanos have mnde him their ideal
hero, and there is a monument to his
memory in nearly every town. Streets
and shops, saloons, mines, opera houses
and even lotteries arc named in vbis
honor, and the greatest national tribute
is to destroy the custom house in order
to erect his monument in the most conspicuous
place in the principal city.
Greenbacks.
"Old Greenbacks," was the soubriquet
given to Secretary Chase in the army,
from the green ink with which the backs
of the United States paper money was
printed. This ink was invented by Stacy
J. Edson, and patented in 1857, as antiphotographic.
It could not be photographed
on account of its color, and
could not be dislodged by alkalies by the
counterfeiters to get a complete facsimile
of the bills, and as it was a secret
known only by the American Bank Note
company and the inventor, it was impossible
to counterfeit the greenback
money. It was used by many banks before
the war, but was never a leading
feature in the b 11; but even if the composition
of the ink had been known, it
would have beeu of no use, as the work
could not be copied from the genuine
bills with any kind of ink. The date of
the patent could be seen on all the bills,
in small print. Old General Spinner
wanted to have Congress enact a law
making the counterfeiting of national
notes a capital offence, as was once the
case in Great Britain, and to have them
bear the legend which had been on the
bills then issued by the Bank of England:
"To Counterfeit is Death."?Ben:
Perley Poore.
The distinguished U. S. Senator from
Indiana, Hon. Daniel W. Voorhees, certifies
that in a case of rheumatism in the
back, lie obtained instantaneous relief
from St. Jacobs Oil. He savs it is a
remarkable remedy.

The Bpldemle of Crime.
Whence comos this epidemic of suicidal and
murders! Recent discussions have named
several causes. Hon. G H. Reeve,of Indiana, c<
charges it to infidel teachings?holding that
hopelessness of a future state cripplc3 forti- P
tude for bearing life's ills. Another declares
suffering from tho universal business depres- b
sion the cause. A third writer attributes it {j
to increasing insanity, a physician thinks
much of tho tendency is inherited, while temperance
advocates lay the responsibility upon si
strong drink. p
Free-thinkers have committed suicido, but *
so have orthodox churchmen. Financial
straits have beset nanny, but the wealthy Ji
have also taken their life. jjIn?anity
and dissipation have preceded
suicides and family murders. 1
One feature common to almost every such c<
crime challeuges attention. Well nigh every b
report of suicide and family murder mentions _
the parpetraiOT as having "for some time ?
boon subject to melancholy." Whence comes
this? All recognized medical authorities toll (
us that tho Are which consume? the brain is
always kindled by derangements of digestion;
that good digestion *s impossible without
pure blood, and pure blood is never known
when tho liver and kidneys aro out of order.
Under such circumstances, a preventive
should be sought, and for this Warner's wife
cure is sovereign?a fact conceded by tho best
authorities in the land, and it is especially
commended by tho celebrated Dr. Dio Lewis.
