The Montenegrins.

The sort ofpeople that the inhabitants
of Montenegro are is coming to be
known, now that events have taken on
their recent shape. A German letter
from among them says that they are
very superstitious: Thunder is believ-
ed to arise from the fact of ST. Peter
playing at nine pins, while Lightning is
regarded as the reflex of the sword with
which St. Elias comDats the devil"
from which itappears how their Christ
iunity" expresses itself. When there is
a fire to be extinguished, people call out:
"Wine! winen' instead of "Waterw be-
lieving as they do that, by uttering the
latter word the genius of Fire would
feel insulted. Life is not secure to any.
But the chief glory of the Montenegrins
is to answer in large figures to the salu-
tation: GLOW many Turks heads hast
thou cut off," The men kiss each 9TH
er's faces on meeting, but the most de-
ferential salute is TO kiss the stomach
The doctors of the people are uneducat-
ed, and they practice by oral tradition
only. A party of German physicians is
now making study of the country
while caring for the wounded, and
through them come interesting accounts
of what is the real condition of the
| Montenegrins.

Voting by Electricity.

Mr.. J. Harris Rogers, the electrician
of the House Of Representatives, has on
exhibition on the floor of Congress an
apparatus for saving the time consumed
in calling the roll, counting and telling.
On each members desk is key, and
from it wire reaching to an electromag-
net at the clerks desk, SO that when the
key is depressed the magnet draws down
a needle and punctures the members
name-the roll list being sustably plac-
ed under the needles; so that instead of
the clerk callidg and checking the names
"yeas" and mays" the members do it
themselves. Then from these needles
wires run to four dials, and the electri-
cal currents, by means Of magnets be-
hind each dial, cause hands to move and
indicate the yeas, and nays, total and
majority, adding and subtracting auto
matically and giving all these results in
thirty seconds. The members seem de-
lighted as they witness these results
and bill will be introduced on Monday
to put it in the Hall, at actual cost, BY
consent of the inventor.

Indian Account OF the Little Big
Horn and Rosebud Battles-Sit.
ting Bull Directed the Move
ments against Custer
from His Tent.

CHICAGO, August ii. s. Poland,
Captain of the Sixth Infantry, writes
from the headquarters of the military
station at Standing Rock, Dakota Ter.
ritory, under the date of July "a, to the
Adjutant Generals Department, St.
Paul, Minnesota, giving the Indian ac-
count of the battle of the Little Big
Horn, June 25. The account does not
differ essentially from the reports al.
ready published. 1t says, however, that
Sitting Bull was neither killed nor per-
sonally engaged in the fight. He re-
mained in the Council tent directing
operations. Crazy Horse, with a large
band, and Black Moon were the princi-
pal leaders on the 25th of June. Kill
Eagle; 5chief of the Blackfeet, at the
head Of some twenty lodges, was at this
agency about the last of May. He
prominently engaged in the battle Of
June 25, and afterward up-braided Sit
ting Bull for not taking personal part
in the engagement. Kill Eagle has sent
me word that he was forced into the
fight; that he desires TO return to the
agency, and that he will return to the
agency il he is killed for it.
The reportconcludes as follows:
"There is a general gathering in the
hostile camp from each of the agencies
on the Missouri River, Red Clouds and
Spotted Tails, as also the Northern
Cheyennes and Arapahoes. They re-
port, for the special benefit of their re-
latives, that in three fights they had
with the whites they have captured over
fonr hundred stand of arms, carbines
and rifles, revolvers not counted am
munition without end, and some sugar,
coffee, bacon and hard bread. They
claim to have captured from the whites
this summer over two hundred horses
and mules. ] suppose this includes the
operations against the soldiers, Crow
Indians and Black Hills miners. The
general outline of this Indian report
concurs with the published reports
The first attack of Reno s began we'll on
in the day, say the Indians. They re.
port about 300 whites killed, and do moi
say how many Indians were killed.

1t is believed that Congress will adopt
General Sheridan's suggestion, and in
crease the cavalry regiments to the full
complement of one hundred men to a
company. The Senate passed bill to
strengthen the cavalry engaged in the
Indian war, and the House Military
Committee think favorably of it, SO that
it is altogether probable General Sheri-
dams request will be granted.

The Custer Massacre Story of the
Treachery of Crow Scout.
THE CUSTER MASSACRE

New YORK, August IA special
from Bismarck, D. T., says the new YER
sion of the Custer fight has just been
learned, being the story related by
serts that Custer was led into a snare by
the
TREACHERY OF A CROW SCOUT
named Cross. This scout, with the
guides Girard and Jackson, were the
ones who escaped from the massacre. /,
is said that Cross was sent out to recon-
noi,re by Custer the night before the
battle, and that he returned in ths morn
ing and reported the Indian village a
small ,,one, and one that offered an easy
victory. Then followed the disastrous
charge and wholesale massacre.
THE INDIANS WERE FULLY INFORMED
and aware Of Clusters intentions, and
had made every preparation to give him
a warm reception. erything was done,
and the breastwork of Willow Brush
thrown up, from behind which the red
skins could pick off the soldiers without
being seen. Further evidence has also
been obtained proving that
WHITE MEN WE'RE WITH THE RED
SKINS.
Reno's men say that they heard En-
glish speaking frequently in the Indian
ranks during their fight. . One of the
Indians shot by Reno's men was found
to be white man with long gray beard
wearing an Indian mask. A bugler
who was honorably discharged from the
Second Infantry in 1869, is also believed
to be with them. During the fight he
blew the calls On his trumpet several
timea.
