lieutenant Cook was the last man left,
and he says that the white men killed of
the Sioux more than their own number.
There is every evidence. of desperate
fight, but Custer was outnumbered
fifteen to one. The fight could not have
lasted over two or three hours. The
Indian says that Clusters column moved
forward to cross the ford into the village,
and being met by a large force Of
Indians, dismounted and gave them q
volley. By this. time another force came
in their rear, completely hemming them
in. he (Custer) then retreated by the
right flank to the top of hill, where the
desperate fighting took place. 3.

In case of prostration by the heat, if
the case is not a serious one, the. only
course necessary is the opening Of all
ligatures about the person, tanning the
face and breast, and the Sadministe tering
Of some aight; stimulant, :suchias sherry
vine. This rslid Will prevent the more
serious growth Of the disorder Until q
physician can be. summoned, In Q seri-
GUS case-i. ;e., where the face is flushed
and the condition Of breathing indicates
congestion 10, the brain-no stimulant
should be given at all. With, all posi-
BILE expedition the patient should be re-
moved to .tha nearest, shady place, al
lowed pIentyof hesh air, and should be
bathed we'll upon the top Of the head
and around. the. neck with cold water.
No time should be lost IN the calling of
good doctor, as it is frequently neces-
sary in cases of this character to have
the patient bled.
AS can ounce of prevention, however,
is worth pound of cure, it may be
we'll for people to know that to guard
against snnstroke il is necessary to keep
as much. as possible in the shade, not to
overhead the body by muscular e1ertion,
and to refrain from too frequent indul-
gence in ice water. The occasional
gargling of the throat will invariably
slake thirst and prevent the overlooking
of the stomach.

Niagara Falls.

The Dubuque Nowa) Times prints q
letter from q citizen Of that town, at
Niagara Falls, In which the writer 6 ives
this bit of graphic description The
falls look to me like a river standing on
end and trying to walk off on stills.
The only thing I can compare. Niagara to
is Julian avenue, and that covered with
sleet and ice, and about thirty boys and
girls riding down on handsleds OF 8
moonlight night at lightning gait, and
fetching up at the Lorimier House all
pellmel, with a few legs and: arms
broken after running over three or four
horses and carriages. Our Dubuque
water works don't begin to compare
with Niagara asto quality and noise, but
the water is better for drinking purposes,
and comes out OF great deal longer
hole. "A person viewing the falls has q
sort of nervous feeling-almost afraid
the water will run over before one can
have q fair look at it.. The water after
it passes through the fallsand rests from
its labors in the abyss below, collects
itself together and forms itself into q
river again, and passes down the deep
gorge at rapid gait, .whirling, leaping,
and foaming like thousand whales
when it reaches the great whirlpool ;
there it performs duck waltz, and after
sashaing up the iver short distance it
finds q narrow opening and passes
on to mingle with the briny deep, never
to return until taken up by evaporation
to the clouds and brought back by the
winds of heaven to take the same fearful
cap again.

A Mean Advantage.

There were score or more of women
gathered together at Mr.. Johnson's
house. Mr.. johnson is good hearted
man and respectable citizen, though
he is rather skeptical about some. things.
The women had just organized "The
Foreign Benevolent Society,"" when Mr..
johnson entered the room. He was at
once appealed to to donate few dollars
as a foundation to work. on, and Mrs.
Graham added
cit would be So pleasant in after
years for you to remember that you gave
this society its first dollar and its first
kind word"
BE slowly opened his wallet. drew out
ten.dollar bill, and as the ladies
pmacked their lips and clapped their
hands, he asked - '..s e..
"Is this society organized to aid the
poor of foreign countriesl" ..'l-
-yes-yes !" they chorused.
"Aud it wants moneyS' ,.:.,,,>' J r..

"We1l, now," said johnson, as he
folded the bill in tempting shape,
"there are twenty married women here.
1t there are fifteen of you who can make
oath that you have combed your chill
dren's hair this morning, washed the
dishes, blackened the cook stove, and
made the beds, I'll donate this SO. %.
"I have" answered two of the crowd,
and the rest said
"Why, now, Mr.. Johnson!"
elf fifteen of you can make oath that
your husbands are not wearing socks
with holes in the heels, this money =

"Just hear him |" they exclaimed, each
one looking at the other. D:

"Such a man !" they whispered.

this room that don't need darning I'll
hand over the money !" he!went on.
"Mr. johnson" said Mrs. Graham,
with great dignity, i" the rules of this
society declare that no money shall be
contributed except by members; and

will withdraw and let us proceed with
the routine business" f&tIE y y

Telling the Truth.

Some years ago a benevolent lady
took little girl into her family,
intending to give her a very thorough
moral and religious training. Unfor-
tunately the child was much given to
lying, and though the mistress strove
necessarily by precept and example to
eradicate this vice, her efforts were far
from successful. One LAY, returning
home after some hours absence, the
lady was met at the door by her hand
maid, who with many tears informed her
that she had broken a very valuable
china pitcher, an heirloom in the family.
Here was light in the darkness at last,
strict truthfulness in the face of reprl-
mand or punishment, and the good
mistress was delighted. Such an oppor-
tunity to reward and strengthen virtue
must not be lost; so the lady magnani-
mously forgot her annoyance at the loss
of her cherished pitcher Zone of pair,
and taking out penny, said, kindly
"Well, Jenny, since you have been
such good girl, and told the truth 80
quickly, I shall not even scold you.
Here's penny for you"
Alas the next morning the lady, on
returning home from market, was met
at the door by her promising pupil, who
dCightedly exclaimed: "Oh missus! 1
have broken the other pitcher. Won't
you give me another pennyl"
Further description of that good
woman's state of mind would be super
fiuous,

His Own Head.

Count Paul de Gabriac publishes in
his travels the following reminiscence Of
Lima One day when dining with the
French consul, "the Man with the Sill
yer Head was announced. He was a
.Frenchman, owning small property
near the ecity. Whiletaking a!walk some
months ago he heard cries OF agony, and
fastening in the direction from which
they came, surprised three brigands, one
of whom held travellers head between
bis knees, while another cut his ears off
and third stabbed him. The un-
daunted Frenchman killed one of the
villains, whereupon the two others fed.
At this moment, and while attending
to the dying traveller, Peruvian gen
darmes appeared, one of whom, thinking
the Frenchman murderer, with pow.
erful horizontal blow Of his sword cut
the top part of his head clean off, laying
the brain bare. The Frenchman, after
lying an hour unconscious, revived,
picked up the upper part Of his head,
walked home in the broiling sun and
had silver plate made in lieu of the
original scalp, which had shrunk too
much

The Sioux ThermOpylm,

gN : g : ~
: Long ago frontier scout named Hank
Clifford, who had taken squaw' from
the Sioux nation, said that he had often
heard them declare that if ever the an
tagonism between them and the whites
grew to final struggle there was coan-
try in the north where they could take
refuge,s and could never be conquered or
dislodged-. They would wait there to
receive the force sent against them, and
could hope to destroy it before it could
escape. This region they described as
extremely rough, where steep ridges,
precipices and deep canyons formed a
chaotic surface upon which the force
first in possession could fight success.
fully three times; their own number.
Clifford believed it was the Rosebud
mountains, where the terrible fight with
Custer and Reno took place, to which
they referred, as they are nearly impreg-
nable to an invader. r. e .

a. Swedish. Norwegian j wedding.

Norway and Sweden crossed the ocean
to meet and fall in love with each other
in Philadelphia. Bertha, the fair daugh-
ter of Mr.. Daunfelt, of the Swedish COM
mission, was married on, the twenty.
ninth OF June to Mr.. Christorphesson,
of the Norwegian commission. They
had never met during all the years they
had lived 30 near each other, but COM
ing to far America the two came togeth-
er and fell desperately in love. They
were married in the Judges pavilion on
the Centennial grounds in the evening,
when all was quiet as a private park.
This pavilion has large, beautiful hall,
intended for receptions, and is attract
lively decorated. The speaker platform,
as it happens, resembles an altar, was
beautifully decorated with Swedish and
Norwegian flags, and with masses of
blossoming plants in pots. A Turkish
rug, with two cushions on it, stood be-
fore the altar for tie bride and groom to
kneel on. = i 1-'' - >-' -,
The bride came, on her fathers arm,
followed. by the groom and her mother,
and four bridesmaids and groomsmen.
She.was 80. pale and weak she had to sit
down and rest % moment before stand
ing to be married. The ceremony was in
Norwegian, but nearly. like the Episcos
pal service in all its forms; AS soon 4as
the ceremony was over the brides faith
er, whose ruddy face had been all aglow
with feeling, clasped her'to his arms, re-
gardless of wedding veil and finery, and
gave, ,hera right fatherly kiss, and then
put both arms around his new son and
kissed him affectionately ). then followed
the family congratulate ons, 80 hearty.
and informal it did ones heart good to
see them. The bridegroom's friends put
their arms around him and patted him
iovially on the back, or kissed him and
the pretty bride, all alive with excite
ment and rosy as ever, WAS charmingly
cordial in her greetings She did not
stand in one place to receive, but moved
about to speak to ono or another, or
promenaded, on her husbands arm.
The bride was dressed simply in white
silk, with a long veil. The only peculiar
thing about her. costume was the high,
small crown of myrtle, in imitation. of q
royal crown, that surmounted her veil.
She wore TO flowers, and her brides
maids wore none, but each bridesmaid
and groomsman wore on the left shoul-
der small myrtle wreath tied with red,
or white, or blue, or green. The bride.
groom was in full dress, with gold lace,
epaulets, sword and cooked hat. ~

advices that the grand total of the
Texas cattle drive to July 6 is 305, ,290
head. OF. this number 30, 638, have been
held in northern Texas, while the re-
mainder, 254, 652 head, have been driven
north. Several thousand head, which
were wintered in northern Texas last
season, have also been driven north,
which probably will swell the total to be.

The Death Of Custer.

A correspondent with the army, de-
scribing the severe fighting, gives the
views Of officers as to the terrible tight
with the Sioux. He says Meanwhile,
where was Custer2 he had gone around
the bluffs and had attempted to ford the
the river at the northern end of the vii
lage. The Indians were massedein his
front and on his tanks. The whole
command dismounted and made deter
mined resistance, which checked mo-
mentarily the onset of the Indians.
Then Custer ordered retreat, his force
dividing in order to take advantage OF
two rayines on the left flank. The
enemy had already appeared In. large
force on the right and closed the door
of escape in that direction. At the head
OF the upper ravine Calhoun's company
was apparently thrown outas skirmishers
to defend the entrance. Here their
bodies were found after the battle the
skirmish lines were clearly marked by
the rows of the slain with heaps OF
empty cartridge shells; Calhoun and
Crittenden were in their places-in
advance of the files. The Indians,
baffled for q moment, Immediately flank
ed the force on the left, rushed up an
other ravine which led into the main one,
and attacked Keogh's company. That
gallant Irish officer fell surrounded by
his soldiers. Retreat was cut off from
this ravine, and the soldiers were then
killed one by one. Meanwhile, the sol-
diers in the other ravine had been SUBJ
ject to severs fire. The line of retreat
led through deep gully, at the mouth
of which twenty-eight men were killed.
They fought desperately, but the Indians
had surrounded them and there was no
escape. Capt. Smith fought his way to
a peak, where a last stand was made.
They must have known that their hour
had come. Here were Custer and his
brother, Adjutant Cooke, Capt. Yates,
Lieut.. Riley, Capt. Smith and a few SOL
diers. Making rampsrts of their fallen
horses, they fought to the end. Here
their bodies were found. Custer him
self seemed to be sleeping his attitude
was natural, his expression sweet and
serene. -'-.'. ''.-s s' be-" '.
There was only one survivors,. Grow
scout. He crossed the river, dashed
into the village, seized horse, covered
himself with aSioux blanket, and escap-
ed. From his account, it is safe to esti-
mate the force of Indians at 5000 war
riors and their loss in battle at many
hundreds. o."

Cen. Custer,s Death.

A special from Sioux City say that the
Indians who came into the hostile camp
near Fort Sully say that after Rain-in-
the. Face shot Gen. Custer he cut Clusters
heart out, placed it on pole and parad-
ed with it through the camp that when
the Indians broke camp and retreated
from the scene. of the slaughter they
were greatly demoralized, but that they
occasionally halted and had a dance
around the bloody trophy which they
designated as the heart of the yellow
haired white chief. Previous reports,
received through military sources, have
stated that Clusters remains were not
mutilated /; but these Indians state en-
phatically that the above is true, and
that great satisfaction is felt in the fact
that Rain -in-the Face has fulfilled his
threat against the great white chief, who
once humiliated him.

- At the window of Tone of the cells in
the jail at Long Branch man stood all
day beating his bleeding fists against the
iron door screen, and uttering violent
and discordant speeches to the few
stragglers that stood in the broiling sun
to listen to him. This man was DR.. 81.
T. ,Helmbold, who used to spend hun
dred thousand dollars in season at
Long Branch. He had been confined
at Philadelphia lunatio asylum but
escaped and went to Long Branch, where
his violent conduct caused his arrest.
He was penniless,, but on account Of
what he had done for Long Branch in
former years, he was given everything
he wanted while there, until bis violence

How 1t Stood.

Some time ago an inquiry was made
in England as to the state Of the teeto-
tallers in certain regiment. The reply
was that fifty per cent. were dead and
fifty per cent. were invaGded. This
alarmed the temperance party little,
but on inquiry it was ascertained to be
correct. It was found that one man had
died from the bite of serpent, and the
other had been sent hcme invalided
with q broken leg.
