CUSTER AND SHERIDAN.

In the final campaign before Rich
mond, Custer converted the battle of
Dinwiddie c. H. from an impending
route into an actual victory. At Five
Forks, his division was first in crossing
the works of the enemy. At Sailors
creek, when two unsuccessful attempts
had been made to delay the enemy's
retreat, Sheridan cried out, II wish to
God old Custer was here; he would have
been into the enemy's train before this
time.'' Custer was 25-Sheridan 10
years his senior.) What followed is
thus described in ssOhio in the War; :
Accordingly "old Custer's" division
was ordered into the fight. The men
charged gallantly, and actually leaped
their horses over the breastworks.
Lieut.. 7. w. Custer, the generals
brother and aid (also killed at the Little
HORNY was among the first to enter the
works, which he did in the manner de
scribed. He snatched rebel standard

GENERAL SITTING BULL.

Capt. McGarry, of the Missouri river
steamer Benton, who has known this
celebrated warrior for many years, says
Sitting Bull is Teton-Sioux and. only
about 80 years of age.
His principal bartering place was at
Fort Peck, though of late years he and
his band have followed the buffalo north
on the Souris and Pembina Rivers, and
have bartered their robes and tongues
for guns and ammunition with the
French half-breeds of Manitoba. Sit
ting Bull was convert and friend of
Father DeSmet, who taught him to
read and write French. He has always
scorned to learn English, but is a fair
French scholar In the Dakota lam
guage he is also versed, and declared to
be greater orator than Little Pheas-
ant, Chief of the YanktOnnais. Capt.
McGarry says he knows that Sitting
Bull has read the French history of
Napoleon's wars, and believes that he
has modelled his generalship after the
little Corsica1f Corporal Sitting Bull
has never accepted an overture of peace,
the report that he gave in his adhesion
to Sully to the contrary notwithstand-
ing. He has always been
AN UNRELENTTNG AND vINDICTIvE
SAVAGE
to the American what Schamyl was to
the Russian. Father DeSmet kept the
Teton-Sioux from the war-path until
1868. He then left the Upper Missouri
and Sitting Bull became Chief. No
organized effort was made to array the
Sioux nation against the whites until
after the Minnesota massacres of 1868,
when the Sioux were driven west of the
Missouri into the bad lands and noun
tains of Dakota. Sitting Bull aspired
to the leadership, but Red Cloud, Spot
ted Tail, Little Pheasant, and the Ogall-
ala Sitting Bull chiefs repudiated him.
From that time he has been malcon-
tent, and at war with the Chiefs of the
Sioux nation, though he has by his per-
suasive arts of oratory seduced many
hundreds of their young braves into
his ranks. He is also
LARGELY REINFORCED BY YOUNG
BRAVES
from the Crees and Assiniboines of Man
itoba. Every summer for five years he
has been up north among these tribes,
and now they are flocking to his stand
ard. If these reports are to be believed
and l have no reason to question them,
when he next makes stand against
the Federal troops he will have in the
neighborhood Of 5000 warriors, every
one armed with repeating-rifes. A
great deal is expected from Sitting Bulls
inability to take care of the wounded
already ON his hands, and which is a
sacred duty among Indians. If he has
not sent his wounded north among his
Manitoba friends, he will do so before
he hazards another fight. The telegraph
ic report of Capt. Smith, who brought
Reno's wounded down, that Terry had
found the biers of nine Chiefs killed in
the engagement with Custer is a mis-
take. They were the remains of sub
chiefs and braves killed by Custer when
he was with Stanley in 1871. The Sioux
custom is to carry off their dead braves
to secluded valley, and, after the Gus
tomary mourning period has expired, to
lay out the dead braves on a platform
high enough to be beyond the reach of
wolves or coyotes.

Add together all these figures in the
multiplicand and you get 35; divide this
by 8, and it goes three times and leaves
over; put this remainder aside. Add
in the same way the figures in the null
tiplier and you get 26, which is twice
and over. Put this remainder
under the other 8 remainder. Now
add the figures of the product, and
you get So. Divide this by 8, and
set the remainder (which is II at
the right of the two IS. Now
multiply the Ss-eight times 8 is GA;
divide by 9-seven times 9 is 63-re-
mainder /. If this remainder is the
same as the remainder from the product,
you may be sure that the multiplication
and addition are correct. That is the
case in the example here given. But if
the remainders differ, there is an error
somewhere. Our correspondent adds:
''Should any 8 occur in the lines of fig
ures added, cast it out.n There is no
occasion for that-it comes out, of
course, when the sum is divided by 8.
The old phrase ''casting out the
mines, :" is more elaborately explained by
]. G. Men, of Troy. He gives sum
in addition, proceeding as follows:
56S47-7 and are 11-9 and 2 over; 2
and s are 100 and / over; and 6
are and are 12-9 and remain.
37S21-Add and cast out same-3remain
79632-Add and cast out Same-0 remain
90036-Add and cast out same-0remain
17S3S-Add and cast out same-4remain
46507-Add and cast out same-4remain
32S676-Add and cast out same re-
main.
Add up the column of remainders ex-
Guiding that of the answer and are
s and are IL and are IA; throw out
the and the remainder is 5; that sum
being the remainder from the product,
the addition is correct.
Another correspondent &c. c. b.,
Cape Vincent) gives an explanation of
the mystery, as follows:
The excess of 9s in number, or in
other words, the remainder after divid-
ing any number by 8, is the same as the
excess of 9s, obtained by dividing the
sum of the numbers digits will give the
same excess of 9s.
When the number subtracted has
the same digits as the number subtract
ed from, there being no difference be-
tween them in their excess of 9s
the difference must be in the number
of 9s which the minuend contains
more than the subtrahend, and con-
sequently the remainder is divisible
by 9, and the sum of its digits is also
divisible bye.
In the sum of numbers, correctly
added, the excess of 9s is the same as
the sum of all the excesses of 9s in the
numbers added. This is the proof of
addition by excess of 9s. Now for the
reason of all this:
Every number is made up of GER
tain number of los, plus the unit figure;
now 10 is divisible by 8, and remains,
any number of los then will contain the
number of 9s, and as many Is for re-
mainder. The digits, excepting the unit
digit, shows the number of los,
Tor multiples of 10, which have the
same excess as 10Y, and these added
with the unit digit, and the sum divid-
ed by o, will show the excess of 9s.

In reply to our request for the forgot
ten rule of proving addition or multi
plication by ''casting out the 9's," we
have received several letters from San
Antonio, Texas; Cape Vincent, N. Y;
Troy, N. Y; Boston and other places.
The clearest explanation in case of null
tiplication is by by N. McG., of Boston,
who says:

member to have seen in an old arithme-
tic some twenty years ago, and since

why it should not be still in use, and
finally made up my mind that it was
because no one could explain why the
process proved the accuracy of the work.

Locust in China.

The locust has wrought desolaton in
China this summer. North of Yang chow
famine seemed imminent. and the farmers
finally went to the Salt Commissioner and
implored him to avert the calamity. The
only thing he could do was to ask the god
of war to battle with the locusts. Accor
dinghy he rent his garments and wept Bit
terly, and with head and feet bare, crawled
upon hands and knees into the temple and
bumped his head till it bled. He then broke
fol tn into lamentation, and the people out
side howled in concert. Faith triumphed.
The locusts changed their diet, living on
grass alone and not on rice. The report Of
this miracle soon spread to other districts
similarly afflicted, and the ceremony which
| had been so successful was repeated; bat
alas! the locusts there were inexorable, OF
else the god of war was weary of good
works; for rappings and howlings were II
vain.

singular Phenomena.

A singular phenomenon, frequently met
with in the Indian Ocean, the real cause OF
which has not yet been ascertained, is the
existence off Malabar, and in certain spots
along the Coromannel coast, of vast mud
banks and tracts of mud suspended in the
seas, wherein many kinds Of fish find abun-
dance of food, immunity from much dis
turbance in the surrounding element, and a
locality in which to breed. The exact cause
of the existence of these large tracts of sea
in which the mud thus remains In solution
is mystery; but at any rate the ocean is &c
smooth that, during even the height OF thu
southwest monsoon, vessels can run fol
shelter into their midst, and, once there, ar
as safe as when inside breakwater.

"Courier" gives the following information
concerning her: "Miss Mercus is of Dutch

age, of diminutive stature, dark and not
handsome. She has squandered the great

tion of her romantic dreams, nevertheless,

George Fox by Sir Peter Lely.


These words on the reverse Of portrait
in a London junk shop caught the eye OF an
American tourist is 1854. He bought the
picture for song, and 1t remained In bis
possession until two months ago, when he
met with business reverses and was COM
PEELED to part with it. At the recent Com
mencement of Swarthmore College It was
shown to prominent members of the Society
of Friends, and was finally purchased for the
institution. The Philadelphia "Press"
states that the portrait "shows the charac-
teristics and peculiarities which marked Sir
Peter Lely's paintings. George Fox is
known to have often visited Cromwell, the
Lord Protector, and to have spoken his mind
freely while in his presence. Cromwell,
who had rough countenance, while sitting
for his picture cautioued Sir Peter Lely to
be very careful to represent every marx,
scratch, or blemish. 1t is thought that Fox
was present at one of those sittings, and that
Lely made rough sketch from which the
picture now brought to light is believed to
have been painted. The manner in which
Fox's name was written on the back of the
picture with the double f, the marks Of age,
and the peculisrities Of Lely's paintings,
combine to prove It's genuineness. 1t rep,
