Cheyenne 10 the Black Hills, 1t will
be a matter of surprise to learn that IA
a party of gentlemen arrived here
Wednesday evening. who left Custer
City, Saturday. the 10th inst, having

party consisted of Mr.. Dearie, If the
firm of Dearie & Baltz, who recently
lost our horses ON their second trip
to the Hills. Col Dodson, Of Omaha,
Col. Wagner, of Salt Lake City and
MIR. Jerry Lewis, of Denver. They
had two four male leans. Mr.. Dearie
says the trip can be easily made by
stages in three days. Col. Dodson in
tends returning to Custer City within
a week ; he is building six large houses
there and will soon be known as the
real estate king of that enterprising
little city. On the morning Of the
18th, $50 wagons reached Hill City
from Bismark, accompanied by nearly
300 men, women and children. This
party had been EN- route three weeks,
and complained bitterly of the hard
ships they met with. Most of these
people have left for Dead Wood

Those Denver scribblers who Wis
tied US last Sunday, saw the town
with very crooked eyes. This was
caused ly their drinking SO much of
L~ondoner's crooked whisky. which he
sells at q .50 per gallon, and Of which
Il ten-gallon keg was consumed by the
party before reaching here. They
slandered Cheyenne numerically in
their accounts Of the visit, and we can
now understand why there has been
SO much false swearing In the recent
crooked whisky trials, by tho effect
the stuff mentioned has had upon the
weak brains of these Denver chaps.

A TERRIBLE SLAUGHTER.

JOSEPH BARBIERE.

A special correspondent to the Helena
(Montana) Herald, writes from StiIlwa-
ter, Montana, under date of July ID, as
follows: "Muggins Taylor, a scout tor
Gen. Gibbon, got here last night direct
from Little Horn river. Gen. Custer
found the Indian camp of two Thousand
lodges on Little Horn, and Immediately
attacked the camp. Gen. Custer took
five companies and charged the thickcst
portion of the camp. Nothing is known
of the operations of this detachment only
as they trace it by the dead Mai. Reno
commanded the other seven companies
and attacked the lower portion of the
camp. The Indians poured in murder
Gus fire, besides the greater portion
fought on horseback Custer, his two
brothers, nephew and brother in-law,
were all killed, and not one of his de-
tachment escaped. Two hundred and
seven men were buried in one place, and
the killed is estimated at three hundred, -,
with only thlrty.one wounded. The In
dians surrounded Rcno's command and
held them one day in the hills, cut of
from water until Gibbons command
came in sight, when they broke camp in
the night and left The Seventh fought
like tigers, and we're overcome by mere
brute force. The Indian loss cannot be
estimated, us they bore off most of their
killed. The remnant of the Seventh
cavalry and Gibbons command are re-
turning to the mouth of the Littlo
Horn, where steamboat lies. The In.
dians got all the arms of the killed
soldiers. There were seventeen commits
stoned officers killed. All the Clusters
died at the head of their column. The
exact loss is not known, rs both the adj
jutants and the sergcantmajor were
killed. The Indian camp was from
three to four miles long, and was twenty
miles up the Little Horn from its mouth.
The Indians actually pulled the men of
their horses in some instances. ! give

over the field after the battle.

Sioux expedition dated Mouth of Big

twelve companies to follow the Indian
trail of large band of hostile Sioux,
and followed it up in the direction of
the Big Horn. The Indians were max

Big Horn. General Terry, with Glib
bon's command of five companies of in
fantry and four Of cavalry, started to AS
cend the Big Horn to attack the enemy
in the rear. On the morning of the

news of battle on the previous day.

next morning the head of the column

the Little Big Horn river, where had
recently stood an immense Indian vii

was strewn with slaughtered horses,

OF nine Indian chiefs. The clothing of

also found pierced with bullets. Fur.

GERMANY TO AMERICA.


Mr.. CadwaIIadcr, acting secretary OF
state, presented Mr.. SchloScr, the Ger.
man minister, to the president, for the
purpose of delivering the autograph let
ter of congratulaton from the emperor
of Germany. Mr., Schl0scr, in present
ing the letter. stated that he was in
structcd by his majesty to deliver upon
the fourth day of July, to the president
in person, an autograph letter of congrat-
uIation upon the occasion OF the centen-
NAL anniversary, and wished to add his
personal good wishes for th" United
States. The president briefly replied,
assuring him of his satisfaction in re-
cciving this evidence of good feeling on
the part of his majesty; that his kind
expressions for the United States were
fully appreciated, and that the letters
should bc properly acknowledged. A
translation of the letter is rs follows;
william, by the grace OF God Emperor Of Ger
many and King oi Prussia ctc,
GREAT AND Coon FRIENp.-lt has
been vouchsaicd to you to celebrate the
centennial festival of day ON which the
great power over which you preside en-
tered the ranks OF independent nations
The purposes of the United States
founders have by n wise application of
the teachings of history OF the tounda,
ton Of nations, and with an insight into
the distant future, been developed with
out parallel. To congratulate the Amer.
lean people on this occasion, affords me
50 much the greater pleasure, because
since the treaty of friendship, which my
ancestor of glorious memory, king Fred
crick II who now rests with God, con
cludcd with the United States, undis-
turbcd friendship has continually
existed between Germany and America,
and has been developed and strengthened
by the ever increasing Importance OF
their mutual relations, and by an inter.
course becoming more and more fruitful
in every domain Of commerce and
science. That the welfare of the United
Statcsand friendship of the two countries
may continue to increase is my sincere
desire and confident hope. Accept
renewed assurance of my unqualified
esteem.

How TO MAKE MIsCHIEF.--kecp your
eye on your neighbors. Take care of
them. Do not let them stir without
watching. They may do something
wrong if you do. To be sure you never
knew them to do anything very bad, but
it may be on your own account they
have not Perhaps If it had not been
for your kind care they might have dis.
graced themselves long ago. Then do
not relax in your efforts to keep them
where they ought to be. Never mind
your own business-that will take care
of itself. If you find any symptoms of
any one passing out of the path of duty,
tell everyone else what you see, and be
particular to see great many. 1t is y
good way to circulate such things, though
l. may not benefit yourself or anyone
particularly. Do keep something going
silence is dreadful thing. 1t is said
there was silence in heaven for the space
of half an hour. DO not let any such
thing occur on earth. 1t would be too
much for this mundane sphere.
