ed an Omaha Republican reporter that
Crorin drank twelve bottles of brandy
between San Francisco and Ogden.
He said when the train arrived at Og-

to serenade him, but he paid no atten-
ton to them, and went off to get his
supper. Finally they got him out and
Cronin braeed himself up for
a speech. After clearing his throat
he said, Boys, what'n We have?'' and
they ali went off to a saloon, and when

Cronin back and put him to bed.

The RED Mans Music.

The Arab has the clash of his GYM
balls to cheer him among his tents amid
the lands of Africa, while the North
American Indian, having no cymbal,
organized a drum out of a buffalo hide,
and thumps upon it, producing a sound
like muffied thunder, to which his voice
keeps time-the monotonous s'yah-hi-
ENTHUSIASTICALLY broken by yells and
limitations of wild Misunderstanding far
into the night-the noise and chant ex-
tending from tepee to tepee-if there
should be as much as a thousand lodges.
Any one who has even listened to the
midnight ''song" of a strong Indian
war-party a never forget the impress
sion made upon him by this primitive
operate performance. 1t is something
weird, thrilling, awe inspiring, until
the a grows accustomed to the un-
cooth chant, when it assumes somewhat
the form of the ludicrous. In the heat
Of the summer days, in the coldness of
the winter, in the beauty Of the spring
time and the fall time, wherever the In
dian rests beneath his ''wicky-up" or
his ''tepee"-he is very ~gregarious and
rarely lodges alone-the dull drumming
OF the buffalo hide, and the sing-song
''yi-hah yah-hi-yah-hah" can be heard
throughout his camp. The squaw does
not participate in this revelry, as a gen.
eral thing, but sits demurely by, either
embroidering a moccasin, decorating a
buffalo robe, or preparing something to
fill the warriors stomach. Indians eat
amazingly, but have no regular meal
hours. They eat when they feel like it,
gorging themselves to safety, and
when they don't feel like it they let it
alone.

Suits the Sentinel.

The appended extract from a Chey-
enne letter in yesterdays Laramie Sem
tinel. will show our readers the kind of
slush that paper delights in publishing
about Cheyenne:
Business is apparently active for this
time of the year, and right here another
popularity appears, which adds greatly to
the original and metropolitan style of
the town. 1t consists in the fact that
business hours are from six to ten hours
later that in other towns. At ten
O'Clock in the morning 1 saw nothing
on Sixteenth street but a black-and-tan
dog that had not sobered off yet. AT
one O'Clock in the afternoon business
began to pick up, and butchers began
to drive around, delivering breakfast
steaks, while the average business
man began to yearn for his morning
cocktail. From that on the change
was rapid, and very soon the town
seemed to have returned from a gigan-
tic Sabbath school picnic. At about
11:30 p. m. business is at its height, and
does not die down entirely until day.
light. l have often thought, during the
past three days, what a perfect bonanza
this town would be for Moody and
Sankey. Judge Blair, who came down
at the same imeI did, and who is known
to be a man grown oldin the path of rect
itude and right, told me c~onfideptially
yesterday, that from the moment the
train arrived here at the depot, he had
felt an unconquerable desire to COM
NIT some great crime.

The Fire,

An alarm of fire was sounded at
8 O'Clock Last night, and in a very few
minutes a crowded. not Less than a thou
sand people were gathered around an
old frame building on 18th street, be-
tween Themes and O'Neii. The fire.
men were a long time in getting at
work, and when the water was turned
on only the walls were standing, the
interior having been burned. The fire
started in the chamber and this allowed
the saving of much of the furniture,
though considerable of it was ruined
by careless handling.
The explosion of a lamp is said to
have caused the confiagration. The in
tense heat caused prompt measures to
be taken to prevent adjoining buildings
from burning, and the pulling down of
the walls averted all danger, though
had there been a stronger breeze, there
is no doubt that the larger portion of
the city would have been destroyed.
The Building was owned by NJ. A.
Arnold, who had leased it, with the
adjoining corral, to G. w. Stone, who
turn sub-let the building to frankie
Leslie, Ella Martell Spriggs, and other
frail females, by whom it was occupied.
The loss will fall quite heavily on these
parties.

Custer. FRS. Charge With His Brigade.

Clusters First Charge With His Brigade.
When the boy lieutenant was suddenly
promoted to be a Brigadier General, and
put in charge of the Michigan brigade,
there was much ~fault-fnding. They
did not want this mere boy to lead
them. They did not believe he would
fight. 1t was but a few days before
they were called upon to make the first
charge, which Gen. Custer's biograph-
er thus describes: The charge of the
LIST Michigan at Gettysburg is described
by an eyewitness as something magni-
fcent, and yet the n thing that gave
it weight is not mentioned in Custer's
report. We have seen how, the pre-
vious day, the General had charged at
the head of a single company solely for
the purpose of encouraging his men and
to win their respect and affection. At
Gettysburg he completed his victory
e the brigade by the manner in
which he led the second charge, in
which he participated with his men.
When that single regiment, in column
OF squadrons, moved forward to the at
tack, every man knew that it was the
last reserve, and had started on an al
most hopeless task. Nothing but the
spectacle of the young General at their
head, sharing their danger, could have
inspired them to such an effort, and it
was the magnificent spectacle of his
gallant and hnightly figure, far in the
van, that nerved every arm in that COL
Hating him at Hanover, they
began to respect him at Hunterstown;
Gettysburg, they adored him. The
result of this attack was that Hamp-
cavalry was driven back, the in
ordered up to support it, the
whole ammunition train of Lee threat
ened and much of the vigor of the as
sault on the Union right paralyzed.
Meanwhile, Buford, on the other flank of
the army, had prevented an equally
dangerous turning movement in that
direction, and the battle Of Gettysburg
has been won.

The Ponies From Standing Rock.

The remnant Of the Indian ponies
taken from the Sioux at Standing Rock
have arrived at st. Paul, and will be
sold. OF the thirteen hundred captur-
ed, only about four hundred have ar
rived. OF the remainder, some have
died IN route, but the most Of them
have been stolen or sold by the herders.
They were systematically followed dur
ing the whole journey by thieves. and a
number were run of every night.

Words fail to convey an idea of the
excellence of the concert given here by
the Tennessee Jubilee singers last
night. Full of melody, harmonious in
expression and rendition, the songs
sung by these sweet singers called forth
%rapturous applause from the large and
appreciative audience. Their long pro-
gramme embraces melodies calculated
to reach and thrill every soul in the
hall, and to praise N above another
would certainly be deemed invidious.
The troupe grows in public favor with
every hearing.

putting Gen. Sheridan in command of
the Department Of the East, was actual
ly made out and entered upon the gen.

having been signed by Gen. Sherman
and Gen. Townsend as Adjutant Gen.
eral. A premature discovery Of it took
place, however, and public opinion in
the east was SO adverse to the change
that the order was never promulgated,
and it has since been removed entirely
from the book in which it was written.
