A CLEAN SwEEP.-At the election
in Pennsylvania in November next,
under the new constitution. the entire
fifty members of the State Senate are
to be elected, This will be the first
time that an election for the whole
body has ever taken place, the rule
heretofore being that tive thirds of thu e
body held over, while there was an
element of one third eacE year to be
elected. The new constitution pro-
vIdes that all Senators shall be elected
in the year 1876, the terms of those
representing even numbered districts
to be two years, and those from odd.
numbered districts four years. The
representation in the House is increas-
ed to two hundred members, which
largely augments the list of represen-
tative candidates.

An Enecdote of Louis II.

| Here is an anecdote relating to the
kings sojourn at his royal Chateau de
Berg:
Under penalty of fine and arrest, it
is forbidden to any one to enter the
paths reserved for the king. One day
his majesty met face to face, a stout
young fellow who was promenading
there very unceremoniously. The
king stopped him and asked him who
he was.
81 am from Switzerland, he ans.
wered, land / am student at the Mu-
mich University"
"Ah! you are a SWISS" said the
king with kindly air. "You ought
TO know Schiller's william Tell by
heart
81 could recite to YOU whole acts of
it!"
Admirable! / am charmed to have
met you. Come to the castle with me
and we will play William Tell"
"But; sir, the castle belongs to the
king!'
"No matter! am his most intimate
friend. Come,y you will see that we will
be permitted to enter"
"Let us try then, sir. since you de-
sire to do So"
They set out together.
"Do you like Munich?"
"No; it is stupid city, and the best
proof of that is the king is never
there
And what do tAey say of the kiug,"
Oh: they say he is right good fell
low at heart"
Louis III. could not help smiling.
"Have you ever seen himg"
"Neverl | am Republican, SIT; but
| am told that he is very handsome
and that the women are wild about
him."
Would you like to dine with him?"
ou are making game of me, are
you not?"

"Since-then, sir oh, pardon-per-
haps you are the king!"
You are right, and you are nv
prisoner"
They had reached the chateau and
the sentinels presented arms.
After dinner the king seated himself
at his piano and played the overture
to William Tell" he then caused the
student to dcclaim the whole of Schil-
ler's drama.
The next day they began again. The
king gave the replies on that occasion.
AT the end of the third day,he sent his
guest in one of the postal carriages,
back to Munich, and forwarded to him
shortly after, gold watch with the
scene of the Grutll engraved upon its
case.

bodies of the soldiers. While these
soldiers were being burned the In
dians turned their attention to the force,
evidently Reno's, attacking the lower
end of the village. Ridgely says Gus
ter's command had been slaughtered be-
fore a shot had been fired by Reno's
force. The Indians returned in the
evening and said the men had fought
hard, but Ridgely says they did not make
a statement of their losses. They said
the soldiers had been driven back twice,
and then they piled up stones and the
attack was unsuccessful. The prisoners
were kept burning over an hour, but
ltidgely was not permitted to speak with
them, and so was unable to state who
they were. One was noticeable from his
small size and gray hair and whiskers
Reno killed more Indians than Custer,
who fell in the midst of the fight, and
two captives, believed to be Gates and
Keough, were the last to die. The
night after the massacre the Indians
were wild with delight. Many got drunk
on whisky stolen from the whites, and
the squaws performed the duty efguards
for the prisoners. Becoming drowsy,
Ridgely~ and two companions escaped,
securing two ponies, and began the long
journey homeward. The pair ate game
and laid in the woods four days to avoid
the Indians. On the way his horse
stumbled, breaking Ridgely's arm, but
the party finally reached Abercrombie,
and thence Ridgely came here. He de-
scribes Sitting Bull as half.breed, large
in size, very intelligent and having pc
culiar gait

Vanderbilts Grandsons.

The public, which has been led to eX-
pect the speedy demise of the Commo-
dore, is now surprised that he holds on
with such tenacity. This arises from his
natural strength of constitution. He is
chiefly suffering from local ailment
which is not fatal, and therefore he may
recover tolerable state of health; that
is, for an old man. The Commodore has
the satisfaction of beholding two of his
grandsons in the management of the Cen
Stral. These are William X. and Corne-
lius, Jr., both sons of William II. Van
derbilt. The first of this pair of brothers
is Director and is also private secretary
for his father, while Cornelius, Jr., is
treasurer of the road. The latter has
always been favorite of the Commodore,
after whom he is named. There is an
other Cornelius (the Commodore's son,
who is so dissipated that he is not reck.

Commodore met his favorite grandson on
New Years Day and said: Cornelius,

him check for $4,000. 1t is a great
satisfaction to William II. Vanderbilt

A Sure Cure.

There is young man in Burlington,
says the Hd,ok. Eye, who is addicted to
cramps and who invested in a bottle of
linimcnt to unite the knots and kinks in
his tendons He retired to rest with his
room mate and was awakened in the
night by groans and sighs expressive of
unbearable misery. Henry" he ex-
claimed, "what in the world is the
matterY" "Ohp moaned Henry, "Pm
so sickl believe Pm going TO die"
"Why, what on earth can all your" said
his companion, thoroughly alarmed. "If
you are in pain, where is it?" Henry
moaned and groaned more terribly than
ever and said he was in terrible agony.
His stomach and bowels and thighs were
giving him terrible pain. Well" said
his companion, "get up and try that
liniment of mine. Rub it on we'll. 1t is
the best thing for pain ever tried You
will find it on the shelf near the tobacco
box" And Henry crawled out of bed
with many groan and long drawn sigh
and groped his way to the shelf, stopping
by the way to disentangle his feet from
the garments that numbered his pathway
and pausing a moment when he discov-
cred that the door had slipped between
his extended arms and was interviewing
his nose. He again fingered before the
open window, where the balmy air of
night toyed with his scanty wardrobe.
Finally he reached the shelf and knocked
over the tobacco-box in the nervousness
induced by intense pain, which still con-
tinued. He reached the bottle, he took
out the cork and, pouring the precious
ointment into the palm of his hand, he
rubbed it upon his body with the energy
of despair. " Use plenty of it," said his
companion from the bed, and again and
again was the bottle turned up and the
soothing lotion applied, until at last,
with sigh of mingled resignation and
relief, Henry set the empty bottle down
upon the shelf and picked his way back
to the bed. "Well," inquired his com
panion, "how do you feel? Did it help
you any9" 80 yes, ever so much, said
Henry; the liniment smarts some, but
the pain is almost gone. feel ever so
much better" And after the severe
agony his exhausted frame demanded
repose, and peacefully he fell asleep,
while his companion, who hadn't been
sick at all, snored like a house o'fire.
Henry was disposed to sleep late the
next day, and his companion rose first.
He noticed as he dressed that the lini-
ment bottle looked pretty full, and a
bottle which stood next it on the shelf
was decidedly empty. He silently lifted
the bed-clothing from the slumbering
form of Henry, and there he lay, as red
from his neck to his knees as though he
had bathed in pokeberry juice! He had
rubbed himself with red ink! There was
laughter, and Henry woke and begged
and protested that there shouldn't any
thing be said about it. And there hasn't.

A New Trick of the Tramp.

A few days ago a dilapidated-lookin
party entered the Office of gentleman in
this city and stated that hehad trade to
propose. The gentleman listened and
learned that the fellow was a tramp en-
route from Cincinnati to New Orleans.
The trade was that the tramp proposed to
sell diamond, which if genuine would
easily be worth one hundred dollars, to
the gentleman. The story of the tramp
was that he picked it out of the bosom
ofaman in attendance upon the Cincinnati
Republican Convention in June, but had
been saving for " a stake" Now he was
in strange city, and without means un-
til he could reach Montgomery, where he
professed that he had friends living. He
proposed to sell the diamond, removed
from its setting to prevent identification,
as he said, for the paltry sum of fifteen
dollars cash. The gentleman did notlike
the idea of buying stolen diamond, but
the tramp insisted that he had stolen it
from man whom he did not know, who
was a stranger in Cincinnati, and whom
he would scarcely ever see again. These
considerations overcame the scruples of
the gentleman, and he finally purchased
the diamond at the price named. He
gloated over his good fortune for acouple
of days, and then concluded that he would
have the precious stone placed in appro-
pirate setting He went with it for that
purpose to a jeweler of the city, who
laughed at the idea, and explained to the
gentleman that he had been swindled
most egregiously, The piece of stone was
no more diamond than car wheel, but
was a clearly-cut and polished quartz
pebble. The gentleman is reticent as to
diamonds just now, but he keeps sharp
lookout for his tramp; but the tramp
Oh, where is he?

Statement of Witness of the Custer
Massacre.
MINSEAPoLIs, Sept. :

MINSEAPoLIs, Sept. :,
The Pioneer Press and Tribune will to-
morrow publish an interview with an old
trapper, named Ridgely, who has been
long time in the Yellowstone country,
and claims to have witnessed the Custer
massacre, being a prisoner in Sitting
Bulls camp and seeing every movement
of the troops. He was taken prisoner
last March and kept in the camp of the
Indians until the Custer massacre.
He was treated kindly. He says Sit
ting Bull organized, not to fight the
whites but to drive the miners from the
Hills. Previous to Clusters attack
mounted oouriers from Sitting Bulls
camp had for eighteen days watched his
forces, its division into small detach-
ments being noted with manifestations
of extreme delight. Ambuscades were
Immediately prepared and in which
the Indians stood ready for an
attack; many of them clambered
on the side-hill overlooking Clusters
line of march. The Indian camp was
divided by bluff, the point of which ran
toward the Rosebud and in the direction
of one of the available fords on the river.
To cross by this ford Custer followed
their trail down to the waters edge.
There were about twenty-five teepes
visible to Custer, but there were seventy
five double teepes behind the bluff not
visible. Custer attacked a small village
and was Immediately met by 1900 or
2,000 Indians in regular order of battle.
Every movement was made with military
precision. Ridgely says he stood ON the
side-hill, where he had complete view
of the battle, which was not over a mile
and half distant. Custer began the
fight in a Tavine near the ford, and fully
half of his command seemed to be un-
horsed at the first fire. Then the
soldiers retreated toward him in
the rear, and were shot down on the way
with astonishing rapidity, the command
ing officer falling from his horse in the
middle of the engagement, which com
menced at eleven a. m. and did not last
more than forty-five minutes. After the
massacre of Clusters force the Indians
returned to camp with six soldiers as
prisoners and delirious with Joy over
their success These six were tied to
stakes at woOd-pile in the village and
were burned to death. While the flames
were torturing them to death the Indian
boys fired red arrows into their quiver-
ing flesh till they died. Sitting Bull was
met after the fight and exultantly re-
marked that he had killed many soldiers
and General, but didn't know who he
was. The squaws then armed them
selves with knives, visited the battle
field, and robbed and mutilated the
