A Complete Life of General George A. Custer; {;
by Frederick Whitaker; shelton u Co., New
York.
THIS is large and splendidly bound
volume of nearly seven hundred pages.
The author was an intimate friend of
the dead General from his boyhood. AS
CAPTAIN in a New York cavalry regi-
ment he passed with him through ma ny
of the most stormy scenes OF the late
war: had been closely associated with
him since then, and is eminentiy quail
fed in every way to discharge the task
of biographer and eulogtst Of his late
comrade.
, AS dashng cavalry officer, Custer
undoubtedly bore the palm among the
many who thus distinguished themselves
| IN our great war for the Union. lie was
! "the daring rider in the battles iront;'
the later Murat, "who would gallop up
| to a grape-charged cannon as gally as
| lie would walk to banquet" whose
name, while he lived, was tue synonym
OF all that is noble, heroic ana patriotic
1.-The beau ideal of "a modern soldier.
No man in our army ever rose as rapid
| ly as he, This wonderful advancement
he being but twenty-five years OF age
when the war ended-was, when we
consider his humble origin and his to- al
lack of influential connections, certainly
due to merit alone. The cynosure OF ad-

\ The book traces his life and actions,
\ from his birth to his death, Throughout
his brilliant career. The material Is
| largely gathered from mis- own ''W al
Memoirs" and "Life on the Palms." and
| from various manuscripts lUund among
| his papers aiter his aeath. HIS Wes1
Point cadetshlp is passed lightly over,
| but incidents OF his stay at the Academy
and OF his entrance into the army are
| pleasantly stated. The many campaigns
and sanguinary engagements of the war
ana the fierce lndlan encounters II
which he participates, uniting the scien

individual exploits of the soldier, are
| described in his own modest yet graphic
language. And here, independent OF the
interest that centers upon the subject o

facilities OF transit distance is ami
hilated and the difference OF hundred
miles or so when'ohe is in palace car
is not matter worth considering.
This being the case, q central position
no longer enters into the question OF
where the capital of STATE should be
located; and leaving out this single rea-
son, who would think Of selecting Har-
risburg, Albany, or Columbus, in pref
erence to Philadelphia, New York, or;
Cincinnati, as the place for the location
of the State government machinery
In the latter places there are at all times
trst-class hotel Accommodations for any
number of people. These cities are the
commercial centers of extensive regions
and many people have business in them
which could be transacted when max
ing trip on politicalor official business
to the State Capital. Leaving out the
other States, there seems to be no good
reason why the Capital of Ohio should
not be removed to Cincinnati.
The Constitutional Convention, after
trying Columbus for short time, ad-
liourned to this city, and all the members
when once here were outspoken in their
approval of the move-even those who
at the time opposed it. Through the in
hueuce of Hon. John A. Shank and Hon.
w. j. O'Neal the last State Democratic
| Convention was held here, and 50 gen.
eral was the satisfaction expressed that
State Conventions of both parties will
probably keep clear of Columbus in the
future.
We believe movement to remove the
Capital to this city would meet the
warm approval of the people OF the state
but it should come from Cincinnati. Lei
it be made without delay.

AN English paper makes the singular
statement that Sir Albert Grant, pursu
ing legal studies, announces tnat it is
not his intention to practice as a bar
rister but to fit himself for the position
of Justice of the Peace. Such a thing
rs MANS att lem pting to fit himself for
the position of Justice of the Peace in
this country is unknown. Any one who
san secure an election or appointment,
as the case may be, feels that he is born
lifted for the position, and trusts to
Providence and the Constable to keep
him straight. The idea of Justice Of
Ibe Peace trying to fiji himself for the
position is Il novel but not by any means
; bad one. Suppose some of the JUS
ices in this country think it over.

And looked upon this sscenc,
Then took my eyes from OF the skies
And fell into dream.
And in my dream fair scenes saw
Ofdays then long ago,
My heart was Drlght my vision bright,
Myjoy did overflow.
l stood amidst the scenes of yore,
And DER them did roam,
And, as a boy, In youthful JOY,
saw My chlluhooPs home.
Its meadows still were green and fair,
Bcspangled DER with flowers.
The sun shOne bright from morn till night,
The birds sang in its bowers
The old house still stood there the same
AS in the days Of yore;
The latch ring brown hung dangling down,
Mother stood in the door.
And father too sat there at case
Beneath the grapevine shade,
in his old armchair, which always there
A pleasant feature made.
I too was there, a happy boy,
Gharmed,by the wild birds song;
knew no guile, for all the while
Was taught TO do no wrong.
The spirit Of my dream then changed,
And father sat alone,
The latch string brown hung dangling down,
But mother-she had gone.
My dreaming eyes from earth arose
| To the celestial scene,
| The summer land, near Jordan's strand,
| Where helds are ever green
Through heavens ether, where gazed,
| A snow white cloud did roll,
| Twas mothers car from earth afar,
| The chariot Of her soul.
| It bore her on to Jordan's shore,
| Where angel voices call,
| saw her there an angel lalr,
The seraph of them all.

CAPITAL MOVING.

Pennsylvanians have just had revi-
val of the subject ofremoVing the State
Capital from Harrisburg to Philadelphia.
Mayor Stokeley, IN Il communication to
TIE Common Council of the latter city,
has asked that body to take measures
looking to making Philadelphia the Cap
ital OF the State. He proposes to have
Memorial Hall fitted up for the use Of
the Legislature and State officers, and
says it is large enough and can be made
at little expense a very suitable and
convenient building for the purpose.
This proposition OF the Mayor has met
with hearty endorsement at the hands
Of the citizens of Philadelphia, and will,
without doubt, result in more than mere
Ealk.
There is now no longer any reason for
the capitals of great States like Penn.

located at unimportant points with nc

Alleahy, and even Columbus, were made
stlte capitals, the reasons which let

no longer exist, and it is time that il
each Of these states steps were taken
TO make the commercial metropolis the
political capital also. Members Of the

THE New York Tribune suggests that
If the Democratic idea OF throwing out
the States of Florida, Louisiana and
Oregon should prevail the election Of
Hayes might be secured by the Republic
cans debating the question till after the
4th OF March, when the right Of tha
House to make the selection OF a Presl-
dent would cease. The Senate could
then elect Gov. Hayes Vice President
and nc would succeed to the. Presidency.
Let's have it done some other way--any
other way. After what has and will
have been said on the subject UP to the
time of opening the Electoral vote it will
be going too far to infict the country
with eight weeks of solid debate on this
subject.
