CAPE MAY, n. j., July II, 1876.
DEAR EAGLE Upon the whit,
sands, where, in one eternal roar
breaks the restless waters of the AT
lantic, the swelling blue ocean, with
its snowy sails stretching away il
limitless expanse at our feet. watch
ing the ebb and flow of the fashionable
tide that annually drifts to this famed
resort of wealth and beauty, we lol
in ease and scribble you a line. The
fresh sea breeze 1iutters lightly oul
paper, the shouts of the bathers and
The laughter of many happy children
upon the beach intermingling witt
the murmur of the sad sea waves col
/. ors this new experience with the gla.
mour of a poets reverie, and we fee
constrained to WOO the muse of Nep.
tune, but we mustn't.
Were you ever at a seaside bathing
place? It's gay. 1t would have made
you laugh TO see us perform. When
the tide comes in you go into one OF
those small cubby holes on the beach,
take off your good clothes and don q
bathing costume. These outfits are
unique affairs, consisting of pair OF
brooches and shirt, both mile too
big, made out of horse blanket TRIM
med with red flannel, and an old wa
ter-soaked rye-straw hat trimmed the
same way. The only difference be-
tween the bathing dress of the women
and the men is, the latter wear their
shirt tails tucked in and the ladies
don't. Iou should have seen this in
dividual yesterday, full-rigged and
bearing down upon the situation. Our
mother wouldn't have known us from
Modoc Indian in war dance. Vie
looked no better. When in the water
we had her speak TO us every now and
then TO assure us that she was not
somebody else. We think there were
about two thousand of both sexes tax
ing their daily douse at once. OF all
the ratty looking crowds, especially
the fair portion of it. Stripped of
toggery, back hair gone, hustle col
lapsed, spindle shankcd and Thin
ribbed. The way they do it Is, they
stand up until the breaker comes,
when every fellow, and every one that
amt fellow. too, jumps on top the
wave or dives through it. a miscal-
culation and which end You win
come up on is mighty uncertainties
generally the which, or both. At our
first attempt we found ourself aud the
lady who claims us as her own, rolled
ont on the sand about half way across
the State of New Jersey-you know
New Jersey is not very wide State.
The Transformation that takes place
in this wet -blanketed crowd in
an hour or SO passes all belief. From
those dressing rooms issue hundreds
of the sweetest, rosy-cheeked girls, re-
splendent in feathers, lace and costly
jewelry; many patronizing mammas;
dozens Of gay young bucks and swells
and solid old rcd-faced dads, with
banks CT money.
No rain has fallen here for some
time, but we judge from the looks of
things it don't make much difference,
for we don't believe they can raise
much any way.
We shall go up to Philadelphia, by
rain, tonight and at another spare
half hour shall finish this scribble.

STAT AND NEIGHBORHOOD.

A Sad Accident occurred about half a
mile west of Milton Station on the A. and
G. w. R. R. on the night of 18th inst,
resulting in the death of man named
Michael. 1t seems two brothers by that
name had been to Cincinnati for work,
and having failed to find matters as rep
sented, found themselves out ofmoney,
and had resolved to walk back to New
York on the railroad. When near Milton
they sat down to rest, and being tired,
they both fell asleep, and the passing
train probably struck one Of them, max
ing hole in his head, from the effects Of
which he died last Friday, and was bur.
led on Saturday. The surviving brother
was much affected by the accident, and
on Monday purse was raised and he
was sent on home. Both parties are
married and have families living in New
York city, WadS7OorM Entexpr1ss.

THE editor of this paper attended a
Tilden and Hendricks ratification meet
ing at Springfield, Missouri, on Saturday
evening last. The attendance was large
and enthusiastic. Mr. John MCGregor,
of that place, was made chairman. The
first step was to adopt Constitution and
form a Tilden and Hendricks club, of
which John McGregor was chosen Presi-
dent. Mr.. A. McGregor, of Canton, o.,
was called upon, and spoke for about
half an hour. He spoke for the Democ-
racy of Ohio-said we would not be found
wanting in our support of Tilden and
Hendricks-that our people felt also the
the need of change and rm-that
Ohio was not to be surrendered, even if
Hayes did live in that State-that our
State ticket to be voted upon in October
was all that could be desired, and over
that we had no family dispute-that
with platform SO powerful as that ad-
opted at st. Louis, and with such noble
candidates, the Ohio Democracy would
rally and struggle for victory. Several
other gentlemen, prominent citizens of
Springfield, addressed the meeting in
the Court room, and speakers addressed
a large crowd out of doors. The meet
ing was a grand success.

A FIGHT WITH THE INDIANS AND OVER 300
SOLDIERS KILLED.

SALT LAKE, July 5.-A special CORE.
spondent of the Helena, Montana, Herald
writes from Saltwater, Montana July2.
Muggins Taylor, scout for General
Gibbon, got here last night direct from
Little Horn river General Custer found
the Indian camp, of about two thousand
lodges, on the Little Horn, and immedi,
ately attacked the camp. Custer took
four companies, and charged the thickest
portion Of the camp. Nothing is known
ofthe operations ofthis detachment only
as they trace it by the dead. Major
Reno commanded, and attacked the low
er portion of the camp. The Indians
poured in murderous fire from all di-
rections besides, the greater portion
fought on horseback, Custer, his two
brothers, nephew, and brother-in.la law are
all killed. Not one of his detachment
escaped. Two hundred and seven men
were buried in one place, and the killed
is estimated at 300 with only 81 wounded.
The Indians surrounded Reno's COM
mand and held them one day in the hills
cut off from water until Gibbons COM
mand 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 can
not be estimated, as they bore off most Of
their killed. The remnants of the Sew
enth cavalry and Gibbons command are
returning to the mouth ofthe Little Horn,
where the steamboat lies. The Indians
got all the arms of the killed soldiers.
There were 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 sergeant major.were killed. The In
dian camp was from three to four miles
long, and was twenty miles up the Little
Horn from its mouth. The Indians act
ually pulled men off their horses in some
instances. l give you this as Taylor told
me, as he was over the field after the
battle. The above is confirmed by other
letters which say Custer met fearful
disaster.
SALT LALE, July 5.-General Custer
and fifteen officers, and every man be-
longing to the FIVE companies. were

ACCIDENT AND DEATH.

Miss Betsy McGregor, sister of the ed
itor of this paper, met her death near
Dover, Kansas, on the 1stinst. 1t seems
she was driving pair of quiet horses,
that she had driven often before, and
when in sight of Mrs. Beach's, her sis
ter's place, she fell forward, as though in
a faint, upon one of the horses. The
team ran few rods and then stood quiet.
When assistance came the deceased was
found to be dead, the back of her head
being badly fractured, with bad cash
above one eye. A small boy was riding
by the wagon when the accident occur
red, and he at once gave the alarm
From him were the particulars ascertain
ed. Miss McGregor's age was fifty, and
she had never been married.

. DAvENPobT, Iowa, July 5.-A terrific
storm prevailed over the northern part Of
this State last night on the line of the
Illinois Central, D. & St. Paul, and Mid
land Railroads. Bridges and embank-
ments on the Illinois Central Railroad
were washed out and there are no trains
on either road to-day. The village of
Rockdale was washed out last night and
forty-two persons drowned. Rockdale
is six miles west of Dubuque. The track
between Julif and Dubuque was washed
out and it will take two weeks to repair
it.
