CENTENNIAL NOTES.
There has been considerable falling off
in Exposition receipts during the week, ow-
ing to the heat. The near approach OF the
4th has something to do with il, to0-many
persons from the country who intend visit
ing about this time delaying so as to get
ali the joint insanity Of next Tuesday
thrown into their so cents worth pf fun.
The Centennial Buildings of a hot day are
certainly depressing. Main Buihing is
the only one that is any way comfortable
Government Building, Women's Hall, Hor-
ticultural Hall, Art Gallery, are simply un-
endurable in such weather.
The West Point Cadets are the lions OF
the hour. They play dreadful havoc in sus-
ceptlble female hearts.

The Indian Battlefield.

The ground upon which General Custer and
his regiment were slaughtered on the 25th of
June, is in the southern part of Montana and
was formerly occupied by the Crow Indians
while at the present time, the Dacotahs or
Nadowessans, the chief tribe Of the Sioux
family, are roaming there. They are the
proudest and most warlike Indians in the
country, and have proved this in their fierce e.
fence Of the Black Hills against the white emf
grants, and now, with extreme ferceDess in the
literal humiliation of an excellent General and
his entire command. They are supposed to num-
Der about five thousand warriors, more or less,
and are the most intelligent of all Indians now
living, excellent horsemen, skilful hunters and
very dangerous enemies.
General Clusters battlefield is on the point
crossed by 45a degrees of northern latitude,
ing from Greenwich 1t can be best found by
tracing the Missouri river; then on the bound
ary of Dacota and Montana, the Yellowstone
river, the principal tributary of the Missouri,
coursing to the right, then the Big Horn river,
the largest tributary of the Yellowstone. The
Big Horn flows almost directly from South to
North, and is navigable sometimes as far up
as Fort 9. Il. Smith. 1t receives on the right,
shortly before it enters into the Yellowstone,
the Tullock's creek, the headwaters of which
Gen. Custer was to explore. A little farther
up, the Big Horn receives the Little Horn
which comes from the Big Horn mountains.
On the right bank of the Little Horn, about
midway between its mouth and source, Gener-
al Custer was. slaughtered together with his
comnapies

The Hand.Organ Man,

One of our old friends the organ-grinders-
such a source of pleasure to the lower and SO
much abused by the upper classes-has wear
rily dragged his organ into quiet street on a
bright summer evening. He is heavy hearted,
for he has received but few halfpence; the
sun has been intensely hot, and he has been
moved on all day, having been unfortunate
enough to disturb three sick persons and a
mathematician. But he must try and earn
another penny or two and he begins once
more to grind out the old tunes, now so famil-
lar that he scarcely hears them. A group of
little children from neighboring alley gather
round him and gaze with wondering eyes upon
his instrument and on himself. He smiles
upon them sadly enough, for in his heart he
loves young children dearly, and once in the
old Italian days-days now SO infinitely far re-
moved--had some of his own, But soon the
tune is done, the barrel is shifted, and he be-
gins another. 1t is an old Scoth reel, with a
Tilt about it that wonld make the very lamps
dance in their sockets if they knew how. And
soon the children's eyes begin to sparkle, the
dimples deepen in their dusky cheeks, and
with one merry glance at their entertainer,
they are dancing as only children can. Their
round arms escaping from their dingy sleeves;
their tangled hair falling over their shoulders
and their 1.-the forms swaying with an infinite
grace their innocence, for they are innocent as
yet even in London alley, their health, and
all the exquisite joy of young emotions, find
their best expression so.-Belldr's Fine Art.
