The Butchering Barbarians.

These are the noble red men with
whom we have to deal. We quote from
the official statement of Lieutenant
Garland, of Gibbons command, who
visited the ground where Custer fell.
1t makes I'LL heart sick to look over
the battle ground and see the poor fell
lows, some of them with their entrails
cut out, others with their eyes dug out
and hearts laid across their face. They
even stopped to cut their pockets to get
their money and watches. The most
fearful sight was Col. Cook. He was a
splendid looking man, with long dark
whiskers. They dug his face all out to
get his fine beard. They did not dis
figure Gen. Custer in any way, but his
brother, Tom Custer, was opened and
his heart taken out. / was standing by
Gen. Custer's body when Gen. Terry
came up, and as he looked down upon
the noble general the tears coursed
down his face as he said:
"The flower Of the army is gone at
last.n
Custer is supposed to be the first one
who died, but though he fell first We
found seventeen cartridge shells by his
side, where he had kept them off until
the last moment.

Custer and Reno vindicated.

Having conducted or participated in
over a score of Indian fights, 1 feel
competent to judge of the character of
the action which resulted in this dread
full disaster. In the light of meagre
facts, it has been charged that Reno
disobeyed orders. Now, it is impos-
sible to conceive the object of his re-
connoisance if it was not to gain intel
ligence of the enemy. He had obtained
intelligence by striking his trail
promptly by the shortest route and by
pursuing it until satisfied that it was
the true trail, and then he reported the
result. Here was a display of energy
and sagacity worthy of commentator.
From that moment, his responsibility
terminated.
Regarding the plan, it may be said
that the idea of setting a trap for Sit
ting Bull by using any number of con-
verging columns, is questionable. In
carrying out a plan, each column should
be able to cope with so formidable an
adversary. That Sitting Bull set a
successful trap for Custer is certain.
The fault which led him to destruction
occurred before the attack. 1t is, that
whoever charges $500 Sioux warriors
under Sitting Bull with less than half
that number of soldiers will never come
out. 1t was merely a question of time
with Custer or Reno. The latter would
have employed the Indians a little
longer on account of his more favorable
ground and of having a greater number
of men to kill. As for assisting OF
supporting each other, after becoming
engaged with two miles of Indians
between them, it was entirely out of
the question. Custer's guides and
scouts must have been incompetent, or
their advice was disregarded. As they
shared the death which ensued, the idea
of treachery is precluded. In any case
Reno cannot he held responsible. l
have known both Custer and Reno
from youth, and have had plenty of
opportunities to appreciate their superb
qualities, both having served in my
command in Virginia. Maj. Gen. w.
w. Averill in the New York Herald.

THE INDIANS
why Tom Clusters Heart Was Cut ou.

Rain-in-the-Face the Indian who cut
Tom Clusters heart out, is an Uncapapa
Sioux, and had a very disagreeable re-
collection of Tom Custer, which he
meant to revenge. On the Yellowstone
expedition, in 1873, the sutler and vet
Urinary surgeon were kined and scalped
in sight of the camp, having gone half
a mile or so away from the command
to visit a spring of water. Custer pur-
sued the murderers, but they escaped.
The next winter Rain-in-the-Fac came
back to his agency, showed the two
scalps and Dragged of the murder. Gus
ter sent Colonel Hart, of the Seventh
Cavalry, down to the agency and arrest
ed him. He was taken to Fort Lincoln
and kept in the g~uard-house, when
Tom Custer had charge of him for sew
eral weeks; but as there is no law by
which an Indian can be punished for
killing a white man, he had to be re-
leased and he has taken his revenge
upon his jailor. Lieutenant Harring-
ton, who is missing, accompanied Col
onel Hart at the time Rain-in-the-Face
was arrested, and he probably felt his
share of the Indians vengeance.

Crooks utes En- Route.

Capt. Nickerson, aide-de-camp to
Gen. Crook, returned to Omaha We'd

he went IN business connected with Sc
curing the Ute Indians of the White
River and Bear River regions of Colo
RADIO, to unite with Gen. Crook in his
campaign against the Sioux. Although
there was a delay of about twenty days,
occasioned by the obstinacy of the en-
ployed scout, or agent, the Utes will
nevertheless be able to reach Gen.
Crook in a few days to take a hand in
the war against the Sioux, who are
their inveterate enemies, and who have
fought and plundered them for years at
every available opportunity.

Why Cattle Require Salt.

We know why the animal Graves salt,
and why it ultimately falls into diseases
if salt for time is withheld. Upward
of half the saline matter of the blood (57
per cent?, consists of common salt: and
AS this is partly discharged every day
through the skin and kidneys the neces-
sity of continued supplies of it to the
BODY becomes sufficiently obvious. The
bile also contains soda rs special and
indispensable constituent, and so do all
the cartilages of the body. Therefore, il
the supply of salt be stinted, neither will
the bile be able TO properly assist the d.
cestion. nor the cartllsges be built up
again As they naturally waste.
And when we consider 1t TO be fact
thst without salt man would miserably
perish. as among horrible punishments
entaiing certain death that of feeding
culprits on saltless food Is said 10 have
prevailed in barbarous times, We may be-
come partially convicted, at least, OF the
necessity of feeding salt to our cattle
that il is one of the necessities as well Is
one of the luxuries Of life for man and
beast, and it should be profusely provid-
cd at short intervals, in proper places, II
it cannot be kept by them continually, Sc
that each and every animal may satisfy
the demands OF his nature. Then it shall
not be said of US that while our pudding
is we'll seasoned and sailed, our stock are
allowed 10 suffer for want OF the same In
gredient which is as truly necessary fol
their foods as for ours.-Prof. johnson.
