AN AMUSING BLUNDER.-Some years
ago, during a Democratic State Con-
vention held atSyracuse, there occurred
a large Sunday-school picnic, to which
many of the delegates were invited,
and which a few attended. Among
those who accepted were John Van
Buren and Gen. Nye. Mr.. Van Bu-
rem was requested to make little
speech, to the little people, and, though
it was little out of his line, cheerfully
assented. In the course of 1t he sought
to impress upon the juveniles that
honesty was the best policy, and that
politicians of all classes were quite too
apt to sell and be sold. By way of IL
lustration he added, You remember
how Abraham CT old traded his birth
right for mess of pottage.' General
Nye, who sat directly behind him, gave
pull at his coat-tails, and said Hold
on, John, you hare got the hair on the
scrong nad'a.'-Harper's Magazine for

How Custer Died.

SIOUX CITY, July 12.-Agency In
dians along the Upper Missouri, who
have received an account of Custer's
fight through some hostile braves who
took part in it, say Custer shot three
Indians with his pistol, and killed three
others with his sabre, when he fell,
shot through the bead by "Rain in the
Face" chief whom Custer had forci-
bly, arrested some time ago for murder.
The Indians lost seventy killed. among
them many noted chiefs. The fight
was hand to hand.
The Indians say they did not fear the
pistols so much as the sabres. They
are nearly out of ammunition, and will
not fight again until they get a supply
from the agencies.
HORRIBLE MUTILATION OF THE DEAD.
SIOUX CITY, IA, July 12.-Indians
arriving here from the battle with Gus
ter give an account of the barbarous
treatment of the bodies of the deceased
soldiers. Rain-in-the-face cut the heart
from Custar's dead body, put it on a
pole, and grand war-dance was held
around it. The Indians are jubilant,
boastful, and sanguipe of making bet.
ter terms on account of their success.

IT is notorious fact in Southern rol.
itics that Sam Tilden and his strikers
spent their money lavishly in purchas-
ing leading Democratic papers in that
section. 1t is said that the prices paid
ranged from $500 to $4,000. When the
report got out that money was being
used certain papers redoubled their
abusive attacks upon the New York re-
former, which invariably resulted in
the editors "being seen." No less than
100000 were thus expended in the
Cotton States alone, and the result was
the nomination on the second ballot OF
Tweed's fright hand man." And yet
in the face of these transactions, the
Democracy have the effrontery to at
tempt to palm this man upon the coun-
try as genuine reformer. The 7th of
November will reveal to Southern Ku-
Klux and Northern dough-faces the
exact estimation in which "reformer"
Tilden is held.

Fashion Notes.

New York World.
Worth is sending out grenadine dress.
es finished with cOlors.
Llama lace sacques are not so much
sought after as formerly.
Black chenille scarfs edged with cor.
responding fringes are fashionable.
The present is very favorable sea
son for suits of light tissues of every
description.
The weston is novelty made of the
same material as the dress, and cut ex-
actly like gentleman's vest.
A new fall dress called the robe valois
has the waist cut low in the neck and
sewed to the skirt. Over the breast
and hips there are number of seams
taken in to the exact shape of the body;
this corsage consequently exacts a
slender, graceful figure.
All kinds of embroidery are fashion
abfe.
The latest bridal dresses are trim.
med with elegant embroideries.
Imitation thread laces, called French
laces, are popular in black lace.
For lace polonaises guipure net is
again preferred.
Pansy dress for boys from two to six
years of age.
Jardiniere boquets are those compos-
ed of both field and garden flowers.
They are very fashionable for wearing
either on the pocket, on the side of a
jacket, in the center of the bodice of a
dinner dress, or on the left shoulder, if
there is fischu.
The artificial flowers so largely used
for decorating toilets at this season are
made on such flexible stems, and copy
nature so carefully, that it is almost
impossible to detect that they are not
real.
1t is difficult to decide whether fiow-
ers or feathers preponderate in the new
summer straw hats.
A revolution in the make of bOdices
is seen in those without any shoulder
seams, but merely the seam below the
arm which unites the front to the back.
The narrow folds or plaits up the
back of bodice are often prolonged in
to the narrow train, and thus to the
edge of the skirt. -.s
Rhe fashion of trimming dresses from
the throat to the bottom of the skirt,
together with the sleeves, pockets, etc.,
with small flat metal buttons set on in
series Of four, five or six rows, is a re.
cent one, and promises to be short
lived.
Cream colored barege is much worn
over cream silk skirts.
There is less ornamentation on this
seasons washing dresses than those of
last year.
The new Madras cambrics are much
prettier than those introduced last sum-
mer.
Toques made of lophophore feathers
are again popular.
Sasbes, for time discarded, are re-
appearing. There are two kinds-the
baby's sash, which is very wide and
knotted either up the back or side of
the shirt, and the tablier or Greek sash,
which fs very narrow and fastened in
front under square buckle.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
deferred from last week. I

WASHINGTON, ID. c., July 8, 1876.
Poor Custar has fought his last battle.
Of course long ere this reaches you,
you will have heard of his disastrous
defeat and death near the mouth of
the Little Big-Horn river, in Montana,
in a severe conflict with the Sioux In
dians. He fell covered with wounds
and with glory. His two brothers,
brother-in-laws, and nephew, all iell at
the post of duty. OF some three hun.
dred men composing five companies of
the Seventh Cavalry (Custar's own
regimenD not one, except single
scout, was lett to tell the story. The
officers of the army stationed here and
those visiting the city will holG meet
ing this evening for the purpose of
taking some action expressive of their
esteem for him as a citizen and SOL
dier, and adopting suitable resolutions
regarding his death. The godly-given
Democracy are blatant in their denun-
Citations OF the President in connection
with the death of this officer, attribut-
ing the whole unfortunate affair to his
agency. The old story of the wolf and
the lamb over again-both came to the
stream to drink at the same time, but,
the wolf being hungry as well as thirs-
ty was anxious TO form preteXt for a
quarrel with the lamb so that he might
eat him; he therefore accused the lamb
of muddying the water, but the lamb
convinced him that his charge was
groundless since he (the wolf was
highest up the stream and the water
flowed from him to the lamb, but the
wolf not to be baked in his purpose
replied that if he did not then muddy
the water he would at some future
time, and at once set in and eat him
up. Now we don't think there is any
danger of the honest Democracy ever
eating up the President, even allegor-
ically, but it certainly develops the
weakness of q cause which is driven
to such frivolous and puerill preteXt |
for quarrel. The next thing we may /
expect to hear from these. wiseacres
will perhaps be that Grant shall be i'm
peached because he won't pull down |
the moon so that they may investigate
the man who is said to inhabjt it. . He
has as much to do in the one
case as the other. The liberal papers
are getting into position, and generally
they are falling into line in support Of
Hayes and Wheeler. The Cincinnati
