tribes, and to effect the proper chastisement
upon them.
Washington dispatch says the heat at the
capital at the present time sis without prece-

tensity or duration, and it is having marked
effect upon the health of Congressman and
those whose business takes them to the Capt.

like ovens, and the galleries are like furnaces.
When the doors of the Senate are closed, as
they are in executive session, the heat is in

The Early Farm House and Its Sur
~OUndingS.

The first framed houses were usually
small, low and cold. The half house,
about twenty feet square, satisfied the
unambitious. The double house, forty
by twenty feet in dimensions, indicated
progress and wealth. IT was designed
for shelter, not for comfort and elegance.
The windows were small, without blinds
or shutters. The fireplace was sufficient
ly spacious to receive logs of three or
four feet in diameter, with an oven in
the back, and fue nearly large enough
to allow the ascent of balloon. A per-
son might literally sit In the chimney
corner and study astronomy. All the
cooking was done by this fire. Around
it, also, gathered the family at evening,
numbering six or twelve children, and
the cricket on the hearth kept company
with their prattle.
The furniture was simple and useful,
all made of the wood of native forest
trees. Pine, birch, cherry, walnut and
the curled maple were mostly used by
ssthe cabinet-maker." Vessels of iron,
copper and tin were used in cooking.
The dressers, extending from floor to
ceiling in the kitchen, contained the
mugs, basins and plates of pewter which
shone upon the farmers board at meal
times. The post of housewife was no
sinecure. She had charge of the dairy
and kitchen, besides spinning and weav-
ing, sewing and knitting, washing and
mending for the .'men folks" The best
room, often called ''the square room, I"
contained a bed, bureau or desk, or a
chest of drawers, a clock, and possibly a
brass fre-set. It's walls were as naked
of ornament as the Cave of Macpelah. 1t

FRIGHTFUL SLAUGHTER.

Custer and Detachment of 800 Soldiers
Butchered by Sioux Indians-NOt One of
the Gallant Band Escapes to Tell the
Tale CT BIOodshed.
SALT LAKE, July 5.-The special cor
respondent of the Helena (Montana)
Herald writes from Saltwater, Montana,
on July 2: Muggins Taylor, scout for
Gen. Gibbon, got here last night direct
from the Little Horn river. Gen. Custer
found the Indian camp of about 1000
lodges on Little Horn, and Immediately
attacked the camp. Custer took five
companies and charged the thickest of
the camp. Nothing is known of the OPP
erations of this detachment only as they
trace it bythe dead. Maj. Reno command
ed the other seven companies, and attacked
the lower portion of the camp. The
Indians poured In murderous fire from
all directions. The greater portion
fought on horseback. Custer, his two
brothers, nephew, and brother-in-law
were all killed, and not one of his de-
tachment escaped. Two hundred and
seven men were buried in one place, and
the killed are estimated at 800, with
only thirty-one wounded. The Indians
surrounded Reno's command and held
them one day in the hills, cut off from
water, until Gibbons command came
in sight, when they broke camp in the
night and left. The Seventh fought
like tigers, and were overcome by mere
brute force. The Indian loss cannot be
estimated, as they bore off and concealed
most of their killed. The remnant of
the Seventh Cavalry and Gibbons COM
mand are returning to the mouth of the
Little Horn, where the steamboat lies.
The Indians got all the arms of the
killed soldiers. There we're seventeen
commissioned officers killed. The whole
Custer family died at the head of their
column. The exact loss is not known,
as both adjutants and the sergeant
major were killed. The Indian camp
was from three to four miles long, and
was 20 miles up the Little Horn from its
mouth. The Indians actually pulled the
men off the horses In some instances. [
give This as Taylor told me, as he was
over the field after the battle. The above
is confirmed by other letters.
CONFIRMED.
BOHEMIAN, Montana, July 3, via SALT
LAKE, July 5.-Mr. Taylor, bearer of
dispatches from the Little Horn
to Fort Ellis, arrived this evening, and
reports the following The battle was
fought on the 25th, thirty or forty miles
below the Little Horn. Custer attacked
the Indian village of from 2, 800 to 1000
warrior on one side, and Col. Reno was
to attack it on the other. Three COM
panies we're placed on a hill as a reserve.
Gen. Custer and fifteen officers and
every man belonging.to the five COM
panies were killed. Reno retreated
under the protection of the re-
serve. The whole number killed was
315. Gen. Gibbon joined Reno. The
Indians left the battle ground like a
slaughter pen, as it really was, being in
narrow ravine. The dead were much
mutilated. The situation now looks
serious. Gen. Terry arrived at Glib
bon's camp on steamboat, and crossed
the command over, and accompanied it
to join Custer, who knew it was coming
before the fight occurred. Lieut.. Crit
