During Deeds of "Lonesome Charley" ]i'\i/noldst Who Perished With his General?His Romantic History. I sec in the list of the killed under Custer, says n.Grajdiic correspondent, the name of Charley Reynolds? "IxmesomeCharley" Reynolds. When Custer was at the base of Hartley's peak iu 1874 and our camp was ablaze with excitement over tho gold discoveries, Custer sent for Bloody Knife, the chief of his scouts, and asked for an Indian to carry dis patches to bort Lnmarie, two hund red tidies below us. Bloody Knife shook his head solemnly and said in reply : "My warriors arc brave, but they are wise. Thay will carry a hag of letters to Fort Line? I it, hut X cannot ask them to go thiongh the Sioux counuy t? Kurt I^ararnie. Furt Lincoln wan two hundred iuiles farther (hau Lu ramie, although th*> iv?r.

Bloody Kj;?li'V. bravos weiv. llee.i?a iribc which the Sioux has a hereditary enmity for, and he was too wise to ask one of them to undertake a sui cidal a pritjcs-t. But mails must be sent samehow, and Caster was ponder ing what to do. Charley Reynolds was sitting on the ground, with his logs cmsscd, cleaning a revolver, seemingly Fitaiteiitive to the conversa tion, Custer had Insen thinking hut a moment, when Reynolds looked up nnd said: "I'll carry the mails to Laramio, General." Custer was familiar with courage iu every form, but such a proposition surprised even 1dm. "I wouldn't ask yon to go, Rey nolds," he said. "I have no fear," responded the scout quietly. "When will you have the mail ready ?" "I was intending to semi something to-morrow night," replied Custer. "I'll go to-morrow night." And picking up his piece of buckskin and bottle of oil, Reynolds strode quietly away. "There goe3 a man," said Custer, "who is a constant succession of sur prise to me. I am getting so that I feel a humiliation in his presence. Scarcely a day passes?-and I have known him ? three years?.that docs not dovclope some now nnd strong trait in his charaotcr. I would as soon havo asked my brother Tom to carry a mail to Laramic as Reynolds.'' The next day I saw Reynolds lead an old, ill-shaped, dim colored horse to the farrier's. I was somewhat cur ious to know if ho was going to rido that animal to Laramio, and asked him. "Yos," said he, in his quiot way. "The General lota mo pick my own mount, and I'vo got one that suits mo. Noticing my surprise at his ohoico, he continued : "I suppose I could have picked out a better looking one, but this is the sort for my trip." And scanning the the benst over, he added ; "He knows inoro tlmn n man, if ho h bony. Look in his eye," , .The farrier took ine horses shoes On mffl pared his hoOra neatly. Rcy nolds llinll irent to (ho, saddler and had a set of lcathci' allocs made, to fit the horse's feet, so as to buckle arouud the fetlocks. ?'What arc those for?" I asked. "A little dodge of mine tfl'fool the Indians. They make no trail. Then he packed three or four days rations in a saddle pocket, prepared a supply of aminu lition, and cleaned up a long, old fashiqned rifle. Then aller eating a hearty dinner, he lay down under a wagon for a nap. -About fouro'elock that evening an engineering party started off in tho direction Reynolds was to take, and saddling his horse and strapping on a canvass bag of letters, he ac companied us. Wo rode till about ten o'clock, nnd went into camp iu a cluster of trees near a brook. A fire was lighted, a pot of codec made, and after drinking a cupful, Reynolds mounted his saddle, and rode into the dark. His path lay through a trackless wilderness?two hundred miles of it ?the constant haunts of hostile Indians, and not n foot of the ground had Reynolds ever seen before. He had never been at baramic; he only knew the general direction in which it lay, and his only guideboard was the stars. After four nights of riding and three days of sleeping, he reach cd his destination unharmed. I saw hint afterward at Fort Lincoln on our return. He told me he got through nictly and inuiled the letters I had intrusted to his care. I had been told that under his gentle demeanor lay a romance as re markable as any Cooper ever wrote, and one day I asked him to tell nie, the story of his life. II?! blushed a little, laughed quietly, and replied he didn't think it worth while. "'Hut they tell me you have had a remarkable experience," I suggested. "Not so very remark able," he answered. ""I guess you can find enough to fill your paper w*',hout publishing anything about nte." And that was all the romance I got from his lips. Rut from the lips of others I learned that he had not always been ''Lonesome Charley" Reynolds. No one, however knew his true name. He was called "Lone some" because of an absent pensive way he had?a habit of scelustvcncss. He came to Lincoln from Montana three years before, With his partner, where the two had bceu hunting and trapping together for several years. Tim story of hia life that his partner told was this: Reynolds was the son of a wealthy and aristocratic family iu Tennessee, hut was educated iu the North, and when the war broke out he found himself iu a painful dilemma. lie had imbibed enough of Northern ideas to make him strongly hostile to the secession movement, while his family?consisting of a father, mother and sister?were violent sympathizers with the South. His fathor entered the Confederate army asanolliccr early in the war. The son could not go with him and fight against his principles, nor could he stay at home and brook tho taunts and pleadings of his mother and sister, nor could he join tho Federal army and light agaiiiKl his father; so ho left his homo nnd wandered away on the Pacific slopo. His homo was at the centre of hostilities, and all communication was cut ofl. At the closo of the war ho went back to Tennessee, and what was once his home was desolation. The neighbors told hint his fathor had been killed iu ono ofthooarly battles, his mother had died, and his sister had married a Southern ollicor whoso name was not rcmcmborcd, and all trace of her had been lost. Tho old plantation bad been confiscated, and there was not a single tie left to bind him to the past. Ho spent some months in search of his stater, without result, and homelessnoss and a disposi tion which shrunk from fellowship with men, drove him back to his old home iu tho mountains, to spend the ? rest, of ? yreary life; From 1805 to 11872 ho wfln in the" mines in Colorado* and Montana, rind hunting and trap ping along tho Btreams of the grodt Northwest,;being employed occasion ally by tho government to do sonio work for Which Ordinary nien were loo cownrdiy or Incompetent. Ho was n short, stocky man, with a little stooping of the shoulders, riiid had a way of carrying his headbctit forward with his face toward the ground. Ho had a shrinking blue eye, a very handsome mouth, and a forehead on which one could trace blue veins, hs you can trace them on the forehead of a woman. He was full bearded, but neither the growth of hair not tho nuirks of exposure hud effaced the 'Ines of beauty from his face. His manner was linobusivc and gentle, his voice was as soft and tender as a; woman's tones. IIo was a man that horses and dogs loved instinctively at first acquaintance; whom men respected,although he was never fathonjed by the wisest of his friends. Ho had fought awhohl tribe of Indians single handed, people said, although no one ever learned of an exploit from his own lips, lie never learned the necessity of swearing, never told a story, never smoked a pipe or cigar before a camp fire, and never drank liquor. JjOVK, A LlKENKSS AND LiAHCKNY. ?A strango lawsuit is pending in Atlanta. A young iuau, becoming enamored of a buxom widow, offered his hand and heart, and was accepted. Pluiiagraphs were exchanged, and the coiirse of true love ran smoothly for several months. But another char mer appeared on the eccne. The young man's j love for the widow ran itself out in Kohlen sands until none wns Jef^pn Upside of the hour-glass, f Iis jiftectiolvrwcro lfaWfcrfdd foT-hc ' rival Venus, and he determined to give her a photograph. Hut times were hard, money was scarce and the photographer inexorable in his de mands for cash. In this emergency a liappv thought struck him. He visited the widow, and, during her temporary abscencc from the parlor, abstracted his photograph, which iu due time he presented to her rival The bereft fair one discovered her loss; rage supplanted love; sho pined for revenge, and obtained it by indicting the faithless lover for larceny. The case was tried. The widow, in her testimony, alluded to the photograph as "his photograph." This was the straw to which defendant's counsel cluug. It beiug "his photograph," he could not ho charged with larccuy for taking his own. A learned discussion on grammar ensued. The erudite justice decided that in this connection the word "his" was objective, not sub jective?was equivalent merely to tho phrase "of him"?and did not imply possession. The accused was bound over for trial iu a higher court. - ? - mm ?? &m - - Why He Took It Down.?Wo heard a rcminisconco the other day worth repeating. In the camp of one of our lUiodo Island regiments, dur ing the rebellion, tho tent of tho chap Iain was near the regimental post oflice, and the good man Wits frequent ly disturbed by soldiers thrusting their beads in and inquiring if tho mail had arrived. To rid himself of this anuoyanco he ono day put up a large placatd bearing tho legend: "Tho chaplain doC3 not know whether tho mail has arrived or not." On glancing nt the announcement the next morn'ng imagine tho chaplain's surprise on reading this addition to it, evidently made by so me disappointed seeker aftor lotters from homo?"and doesn't care a damn." lie took down the placard.?Providence Sun. ? ???? - ? <r?? ? A littlo four-year old -remarked to her mamma on going to bed : "I am not afraid of tho dark,1' "No, of course you aro not," replied her mamma, "for itcan't' hyrtyon." "Hut, mamma, I was a littlo afraid once when I wont into tho pantry to get a cooky " "What was you afraid of?" asked her mamma. ' I was afraid I couldn't find the cookies." Disease from Soap. Soap* is so universally usel at the prescht day that it seems almost im possible to do without it. It may ap pear surprising to learn that soap is not an unmixed good, nud that some of1 tho worst diseases have originated iri; Or at least been carried about by, the too frequent lisc of some kinds of the article. Manufacturers care but little what ingredients they employ so long as the article they bring forth has the piopcr amount of perfume or the requisite capability of producing suds with little rubbing. In this man ner a vast amount of diseased animal matter, taken from beasts which havo died of putresccnt maladies, is em ployed. Soap fat is well known in the manu facture of the soap, and owing to its condition and the imperfect way in which it is refined, \i sometimes con tains most deadly poisons, which, by friction upon the skin, are introduced into the pores, gradually soak into the blood and develop into some local' affection for which no cause can bo assigned. Typhoid fever has been often produced in this manner, it is ascertained positively, but the most common form in which this soap poi son has made itself felt is in the pro duction of diphtheria. It has hither to been an inexplicable fact that while doctors have been urging great cleanliness to avoid this disease, it is precisely where this has been most shown that the discaso has made most ravages. Hoards of health have beeu constant in their efforts to prevent diphtheria by urging clcauliuess, with a result, that is already known by the constant increase of death. It has also been found that a large, proportion of the soaps now used arc made from putrid ami filthy grease obtained "?' from tenement houses, jails,' hospitals and public institutions, and which no possible process cau remove of their impurities and render fit for human use. The medical faculty of Paris and Lend, u havo altcady sounded the keynote of warning in this matter. Alarmed at the increase of disease transmitted from iiupurq soaps, they havo impressed on the people tho necessity of only using soaps of tested purity. The anuual mortality ofchildren, which is now so great, is also attributed in large part to this indiscriminate use of soap. The sensitive and tender skins of the little ones more readily absorb the poisoa and disease transmitted by the soaps referred to. Wise legislation is need ed on this matter. What They Weau.?Tho editor of the Austin (Nov.) Reveille is greatly admired throughout his State for his modesty and innocence. Some idea of his sweetness of character may bo gathered from the following item written by him as a matter of duty : We arc reliably informed that near ly all tho ladies of Austin now wear Centennial petticoats. Never having seen a Centennial petticoat, nor any other kind of a petticoat, we are uu able to furnish a description of the article. If wc arc not mistaken, though, tho Centennial petticoat is made of red, white and blue si! k, and trimmed with American eagles, littlo hatchets and stars, and is different in shape from the bonnets of last spring's style. The last words of Charlotte Cush mau arc more authentic, but less he roic than last words usually arc. Her nephew had raised her and offered a stimulating drink, with tho words, "Come, aunte, here is your milk punch."* Sim smiled, and quoted the first line of the celebrated street car jingle, "Punch, brothers, punch with care." Then sho fell iuto a deep sleep, from which she never awoke. Aif old lady, on hearing that a young friend had lost his [dace on account of misdemeanor, exclaimed : "Miss Demeanor?" Lost his place on account of Miss Demeanor or ? Well, well ! I'm a feared it's too true that there's nil us a woman at the bottom a man's difficulties !" A Color kd DI an Lynctikd;?St. Lours, Mo., July 31.?The Ohle Democrat'* Leaven worth specinl mjB: "Raphael "Williams, a colored man, ravished a white woman named Mrs|. Davis, at her house, at Camdon Poiut, Mo., last Thursday night. Ho was arrested the next day, and lodg ed in jail in Platte City. This morn ing, about 120 armed men entered Platte City and posted pickets around the jail, to prevent interference by^ the citizens, while five members of the party roused the Sheriff, whonj. they seized and forced to deliver the keys of the cells. A deputy sheriff unlocked the door of William's coll, a rope was placed around his neck, and he was dragged to a tree near tho depot, where he was hanged, after which the mob quietly dispersed." When the body was cut down this morning by the coroner* a placard was found pinned to it, stating that,owing to the incflicicucy of tho laws of Missouri, providing for tho punish ment of such malefactors, tho "aven gers," who number among them some the oldest and most respectable citi zens of Plaits county, had deemed it advisable to tako tho law into their own hands, and administer the justice. tho case so richly deserved. Mrs. * Davis was ill at the timo of the out-1 rage, and now lies at tho poiut of death. Human nature is indeed a curious; study. A boy may sing "Hold tho j fort" so sweetly on Sunday that'tho very walls of Ziou tingle with the sac red melody, and yot j >u wouldn't rc- . cognize him on week Jays when ho come* out from "awinming and finds that some other boy ^has hopolessly knotted up his shirtsleeves aud trous cr legs. A few weeks since a Chicagodruin-% tiicr saw a young lady plowing a ,? iu Macoupin, 111. dit, ifcijj/ped to ask : "When do yojj begin cradling?" "Not until the heads arc better filled than yours," was the sententious re ply. The young man passed musing ly on. -???'?????? A secretary commissioned to re port as to the manner in which a cer- ; tain theatre was managed in Franco reported: 'The conductor of the Or chester has not played a note since his arrival.
