Gen. Custer,s Wife.

Baltimore American: 1 had never
seen Gen. Custer's wife when I met
him at the Union League club reception
last winter, nor himself but once before
in my life, and did not even know he
had a wife. Observing, while he was
engaged in conversation, that he smiled
toward a lady who had previously ex-
cited my interest. I said: General
who is that lady? She has such bright,
sweet look, and though so simply Dress
ed (she wore a plain dark silk), is so
thoroughly a lady that I want to know
her. Above all she looks interesting
and happy. I wonder who she is ?"
MADAM replied the general, look
ing much pleased, II shall be most hap
py to present the lady to you, although
indeed, she knows you already" and
stepping to her side he said: "Allow
me to present my soite."
That is how l became acquainted
with Mrs. Gen. Custer, and, indeed, she
was a wife to be fond Of and proud OF.
Never away from her husband, all her
married life was spent on the frontier
which afforded no hardships or priva-
tions to her which could be compared
to q separation from him. She had the
sweetest truest face, and her eyes met
his with such absolute trust as thrilled
me with pleasure that was plain to see.
She was Michigan girl, and had only
him, but, ''Ohl" she said, mo one can
ever know but how good he is" She
had grown quiet to love camp life, which
had She said, many compensations. The
principal one of these was freedom from
the ills and weaknesses which belong
to high civilization. No headaches, no
neuralgia, no nervous prostration, no
nains in the side or diseases Of the liver.
SleeD is an absolute restorative, and in
the regions which have never known
kid gloves or French cooks, everyone
wakes we'll.

2. MOST VALUABLE CONTRIBUTION
to the history of the Little Horn battle
containing as it does, the statement of
a friendly and reliable Indian, who was
sent to the camp of the hostiles by the
government with messages, but was de-
tanned there during the battle, and for
a month afterwards. He represented
Sitting Bull as having lost but thirty
ore killed in the Custer battle, and says
that nine bodies found in the tent were
brave young men but none of them
chiefs, though one of them was son of
the great chief of the Cheyennes. The
horses killed as an offering were their
own property, and they were killed so
the warriors could ride to the
HAPPY HUNTING GROUNDS
on their spirits. Sitting Bull is tired
of fighting and wants
PEACE.
He wants the white man to let him
alone; to leave the country and the
BLACK HILLS.
He says he will not attack the soldiers,
but will fight if they attack him.
MEDICINE CLOUD
says there were no Yanktons in the
battle and that no chiefs from Standing
Rock took part in it, though some were
with Sitting Bull, and were not allowed
to return to the Agency.
One of these chiefs went to Custer
with paper at. the beginning of the
battle but was killed. Another was
killed by hostfles because he tried to
escape.
TERRY AND CROOK.
It is not believed that Crook and
Terry will meet the hostiles, but there
is no disposition to let up until the last

The Dakota Gold Fields.

The following we clip from the Press
and Dakotian. Judge Magulre is well
known Montanian and his statement
can be relied upon. He will be remem-
bered as having passed through Bis
marck going out with the Whitehead
party:
"Mr. H. N. Mcguire, miner of large
experience and a journalist as we'll,
reached Yankton Wednesday evening
from Deadwood City. This gentleman
IS connected in an editorial capacity
with the Black Hills Pioneer and is also
a correspondent of the Chicago Times.
He went into the hills several months
ago by the Bismarck route, and remain
ed there, prospecting in large number
of gulches, visiting every section where
gold has been found and studying the
character of the gold producing belt
with view to estimating its probable
yield as we'll as the force necessary to
work the groand for a given number Of
years. His estimate places the gold
yield as an almost inexhaustible treas
ure and he believes hundred thousand
people will find profitable employment
and prosperous region. Mr.. Mcguire
brings with him specimens of the aurif-
erous metal from a great number Of
gulches. He has the yield of one pan
Of dirt in one bottle which amounts to
$42.4O. He has number of very fine
nuggets, and numerous specimens of
gold quartz with two or three samples
of.silver ore. The specimens are all
promising indidations and lead US to
think that the Black Hills are of much
greater value than the most sanguine
of US have yet believed. Mr.. M. has
filed with the secretary of the territory
articles of incorporation of the Dead
wood Mining Association, company
recently organized there for the purpose
of extensive mining operations.

Before leaving here: Gen. Terry gave
Capt. Grant Marsh, Of the Steamer Far

with his boat as far as the Tongue and
Powder rivers, and on the 9th inst. in
company with the Josephine, he started
down the river, having on board small
force with one .~e--,ZZ- IT, r.

Since his departure nothing has been
heard from him, and the news from
Terry has made US feet somewhat anx-
ious, but as he is old reliable we feel
certain he will be here. However he is
not due here until this evening. Scouts
were sent out at daylight this morning
to proceed down the river until they
met him with instructions to hurry up,

it being the general impression they
are getting out of the country, as there
is no game on the Yellowstone and they
are obliged to strike for the buffalo
which are farther north. There are
500 CROWS
who have volunteered to Join Terry's
command and will be here this evening,
and will be at once rationed and for
warded to him. Should the Far West
arrive they will be sent down the north
side of the river and cooperate with
Gen. Miles command of the 5th Infty.
2 o'clock p. m.-The Far West has
just arrived, also Gen. Miles with his

steamer is being loaded, and things be-
ing put in preparation for active work.
Terry and Crook are following up the
trail, and by tomorrow evening will be
close upon them, while Gen. Miles will
be at Powder river with his command
and prevent any crossing of the Indians.
Capt Marsh reports no Indians seen by
him. If they have not crossed you may
expect in few days to hear of a
