amount. Presently he called on
the subscribers and urged them to
pay, saying that there was urgent
need of the money, and that be
wanted to forward it at once
This appeal was promptly answer
ed, and the money putinbis hands.
Weeks passed, but no acknowl-
edgment of Bangor's gift was
made by the Chicago authorities.
At last the mayor began to be
troubled by questions. Foratime,
by ingenious evasions and fabrica-
tions, he prevented seriousinquiry;
but at last it could no longer be
delayed, and the whole truth
came out. The mayor had con,
v,erted the $4,000 to bis own use.
Not long ago he died, leaving his
affairs in confusion. It is worthy
of record that though the sub
scrib is recovered their money
from his estate, they did not send

Each day when the glow of sunset
Fades in the western sky,
And the wee. ones, fired OF playing,
Go tipping lightly by,

Asleep in his easy chair,
And watch from the open doorway
Their faces fresh and fair.
Alone in the dear old homestead

Echoing boyish strife,

And oft, as the shadows aaIe,

And sing, in my GuiyCTing treble,
A song so soft and low,
Til the old man drops to slumber,
With his head upon his hand,
And tell to myself the number
At home in better land.
Home, where never sorrow
Shall dim their eyes with tears
Where the smile of God Is on them
Through all the summer years!

That fondly folded seven,
And the mother heart within me
Is almost starved Tor heaven.
Sometimes in TIE dusk of evening,
only Shut ray eyes,
And the children are all about me,

The babe whose dimpled fingers
Lost the way to nay breast,
And the beautiful ones the angels,
Passed to the-world Of the blest.
A breath md the vision is lifted
Away on wings of light,
And aga In we two are together,
All alone tonight
They tell me his mind IS failing,
But | smile at idle fears:
He is MY back with the children,
In t le dear peaceful years.

The Tribune tomorrow publishes a letter
from its correspondent with the Yellowstone

Custar's battle with the Indians mt Tongue

and Mr., Balearin met their deaths is thus de-
scribed: The day WAS one OF Intense heat,
and the Doctors horse had no water since
morning. There seemed to be little danger
in going to the river, SO he took the chances
of risking his life to give his horse drink OF
water The Indians won the wager. Mr..
Balearln was In company with DIR. Honsin-
ger, and going to the river for the same rea-
son. One of our Indian scouts who could
not speak English met the two as they We're
descending into the valley. The quick eye
of the scout had seen the Indians, and he
stopped the Doctor and said Indians In
dians!n .sNo, no. said the Doctor, they are
cavalry. cavalry" The scout took hold OF
their bride rims and tried to turn their
horses back. They refused TO be convinced,
and the scout left them to their fate. 1t must
have been soon after that the Indians were
upon them. The nature OF their wounds
showed that both men had been shot in the
saddle. They had turned after seeing the
Indians and tried to climb the bluffs. and the
Indians had fired and brought them both
down. The Doctor having better horse.
had nearly reached the top Of the bluffs when
a ball overlook him. Strange to say. neither
OF the party were sea1ped. The Indians took
Balearin's money, amounting to about 500,
and the Doctors watch. The bodies We're
not mutllatetl. DIR. Honsinger had served
through the war. and had previously accom-
panied Gen. Fremont on some of his expedi-
tons. He had been a long time connected
with the 7th cavalry, and was highly esteemed

professional qualities. lie resided IN Adrain.
