GEN. CUSTER AND WIFE.

Many people, have the idea that
Custer was a staggering, swearing
trooper. He was just the opposite.
He was as dainty beau in ladies'
society, and as entertaining a guest
at the dinner table as one ever sees.
For years he has never drank drop,
even of the lightest wines. He used
to in the earlier years of the war, but
to his wife's sweet influence he sur
rendered the habit and became even
an apostle of temperance. He never
swore, nor would he allow an oath to
be uttered in his presence. Another
anomaly was that he never used to-
baeco in any form. With one of
the gentlest, brightest wives in the
world, who rode beside him in all
his marches, and slept beside him
many night when they bivouacked
with no coverlid but the stars. Her
last home with her husband was
in house on the frontier where the
finer arts were mingled with the pri-
vations and rudeness of half civiliza-
ton; with a library where Ruskin
lay beside a revolver, and Jean In
gelow kept companionship with a
cartridge box; with drawing room
where velvet carpet was strewn
with half. cured bear and wolf skins;
where delicate lace curtains were
held in place by antlers, and where
elk heads and stuffed owls ornament
ed the piano.
Congress was obliged to reduce
Mrs. Clusters pension from $50 to $50
as her husbands actual rank was only
Lieut. Colonel, and the widow under
the law could not receive more than
$50 a month; aud as there could be
only one pension in any one case
the pension for Clusters mother had
to be based on the death of her son
Thomas whose rank was captain, so
that only pension of $40 could be
allowed. The pension law does not
recognize pension to father where
the mother receives one.

starving on the Father's Grave.

The New York World says: Last
week an unhappy mother was found
byva funeral party at Greenwood ly-
ing with her four little children hud.
died about her on the grave of her
husband. They were all quietly dy-
ing there Of starvation amid the cost
ly monuments, reared by civilized
opulence and religion to attest the
sancity of human affections and hu-
man hopes. The poor creatures had
been turned out Of their apartments
and found no room left for them any
where among the living in the me-
tropolis of the great Republic. We
chronicled but the other day the ap-
palling fact that in London nearly
fifty human beings annually die of
absolute starvation, in spite of all the
miracles which steam and electricity
have wrought to better human life
since Wordsworth wrote his unfor-
gettable lines:
"HOmeless near Thousand homes stood,
And near a thousand tables pined and
wanted tood." ~
This miserable story Of the day in
New York, following upon half a
dozen others of the same sort during
the present summer, is a terrible and
sardonic commentary upon our own
proud cente nnial boasts.

OId.TIme Girl.

We saw her on Fourth street yes
terday. She wore neatly fitting,
plainly-cut and modestly trimmed
calico dress. Her modest face beamed
with youth and beauty beneath the
graceful folds of gauzy green veil,
and her rosy cheeks shone through
it like a pair of cherries. She didn't
carry one-half of her dress in her
hand high up to crafty the vulgar
gaze Of blackguards,or to draw forth
ludicrous and ungentlemanly re-
marks of corner loafers. Nor was
she pinned back so tight she couldn't
step, and her heels didn't kick her
tiller as high as the small of her back.
She didn't walk like mule with a
loose set of harness on and flies bad.
No; she wasn't dressed in style to
attract the attention of any but true
gentlemen, and of these she COM
manded the utmost respect, and it
was paid her by all who, in meeting,
admired her.

STATE AFFoaT-oN.iENT.

While many Of our western cotem-
p"rarlcs have exercised their powers,
nat a little in cri;i,iziug the action of
the State Con. Con, the CHIEF has
thus far withheld cnGmeGts. One
would conclude from the tone ofthe
Hastings .larr"ok TIA. Its editoi had
been badly mi>used and that The rights
ofthe west had been wholly ignored.
We do not believe that a personal at
tack against the Journal was intended,
neither do we think if Adams county
should elect the editor Of the journal
Ia Represent her in the Rremonl con-
"ention, that Western Nebraska would
tip up when the Injured critique of the
Hastings Journal should pass into the
EASTERN portion of the state. Webster
county is satisfied with her apportion-
ment of two delegates. 1t strikes US
that Adams county, with 1, ought not
to raise an unearthly yell, when John
sa1 and PawHec with three, Jefferson
and Seward with t., Nemaha, Otoe
and Saline with 5and Richardson
accept the action of the COMMITTEE ~
just and equ:tabie. 4 proportionate
cutting down OF the delegates is all
that a fair minded person could expect,
aad 10 figuring up the apport:onment.
We fiud that the west will have one
delegate for each l9l Rep. voters,
While the east VII. have but one dele
gate for each 200 Rep. voters. 1t
seems that she yeipiag ought to come
from the eastern part OF Il e State.
We are glad TO see the Columbus
journal, the Fo:fbury Gazette and
other western papers coming TO the
trent and retracing their former hasty
ani iii-aiyised opinions AMI acauiesc-
lag Ia the action Of the Central Com.
ht'tes, WITH becoming grace. Surely
there ought to be no iniplicaI feeling
b-tweea the west and east and We
cannot believe there is. A few aalbi.

Diaz was q candidate for the presi-
Gency when Juraz was elected, and
felt some disappointment at his de-
feat. The only reason for the revolu

UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA,

LINCOLN. Neb., March 29, 70.
JAS. S. GILLIAN f DEAR SiI
Yesterday the CHIEF with your lecture
came TO hand. / was exceedingly iu-
terested in your lecture. and most of
your positions | can subscribe to.
There are two points on which L would
slightly differ, but | am very glad that
you delivered this address, as it must
do good in stimulating thought, and
putting agriculturalists on the right
track for helping themselves.
/. Your first position from which |
dissent is that there is no change in
our dry climate. This question OF the
changes which may be. and are going
on in our climate, | have discussed
somewhat fully in a paper which is
now in the hands Of the u. s. Geo
logical Survey of the territories.
Nader 81 and will be published soon,
when | shall s2nd you a copr. In that
paper [ show that the climate has
changed considerably, and that chan
res are still going on. For instance,
hundreds of springs have been break
ing out along bluffs, in at least the
northern half Of the state for many
years past, whore they were never
known before. Old stream beds on
the hcadwaters Of some Of our rivers,
where the bed had grown oyer with a
thick sod, and where the waters had
not flown for ages, have commrnced to
run again during the past few years.
The grasses in eastern Nebraska. char
acteris'ic of very dry climates, are
fast d sappearipg, and others taking
their place. observations taken with
NyIroaeiick shows that the average
amount OF moisture in the atmosphere
is greater than it Was ten years ago.
Space will not permit a full discussion
Of that point here. but the paper CON
tanning it will be sent 20 you soon a.
published.
>. You ask whether there are any
manures that can supply an element
which Is obtained from rain water,
| presume you allude to the hydrogen
elements in vegetable organisms. That
subject is so well discussed in Johnson's
How Plants Grow."and the chemical
changes involved. also demonstrated,
that IwiN not DO more than refer you
TO that work if you have not examined
it. johnson is n professor of a%gricultu-
Ial chemistry in Yale, and is regarded
as one Of the best authorities. He
shows, it appears to me conclnsiVeiy,
hat there can be no substitute for
the work which water aceomplishes 10
plant growth. He however, shows
that some alkalies Ike potash tend to
retain moisture in the soil and absorb
from the atmosphere, etc.
There are many more interesting
points raised IN your address which
| would like to dwell on if time per-
mitted, but | must content myself
with sending you my paper when
published. With this letter | send
you the Pfoaecr with an article on
Loess or Lecustrine deposits which
may interest you.
thank you again, heartily, for this
address, and for sending me a copy.
| hope you may often do such excellent
work for the public.

roots but leave two or three inches of
the surface loose. BE sure and trod

prevent it from working in the wind.
The earth about the tree should be
