The Little Big Horn Massacre.

Commenting upon some letters written
from Clusters command just before the
fatal attack upon Sitting Bull, the New
York Herald Of July II says:
Our previous letters from the scene Of
action showed that Clusters scouts
brought him intelligence that the Indi-
ans, when they had discovered them,
gave signs of preparing for retreat.
This may have been q russ. but it SO
exactly tailed with the expectations Of
General Terry and all the other officers
that the Indians would get away if they
could, that General Custer was justified
in acting on it. He accordingly gave or
ders for q vigorous attack on the instant,
lest the long search for the Indians. at
last crowned with success, should DO
rendered abortivs by the hasty escape of
the foe. With the Information he had,
We do not see how be could have acted
otherwise. Had he let Sitting Bull es-
cape after so much pains to find him,
he would have incurred the indignant
censure Of every army officer and of the
whole country. Inconsiderate and un-
generous minds have blamed him for
not awaiting the arrival Of Terry and
Gibbon before making the attack. But
if he he'd waited and given the Indians
An opportunity to run away what would
have been said Of him. Or rather, what
would not have been said of him? Had
he waited two days for tho arrival OF
Terry and Gibbon Sitting Bull would
have escaped and Custer would have
been denounced for lstting him go. The
letters we print to-day prove conclusive
ly that if Custer had tried TO excuse him
self for not attacking when his scouts
told him the Indians were preparing to
retreat, on the pretense of waiting for
he wcuid have been
hooted and derided. He promptly did
his duty according to the lights he had,
and the country will always honor his
memory.
And thus saith the San Francisco
Post:
We hope We shall not he considered

our wellmeaning but ungeoSraph-
ical contemporaries that the river

Congressman Piper OF the San Fran

ton which passed the House on Monday
providing for q committee Of three to in

committee. Piper is very shrewd,
active member and has managed to Sc
cure no mean share OF influence and

The Dey and the Knight.

A Christian Knight was playing draw
poker with the Dey of Algiers for mon
arch's <uHnsom. The fearless Christian
observed that the Grand Vizier was look
ing over his shoulder, and telegraphing
the quality of his hand to the Despot,
but depressing his indignation at the dis
covery of his perfidy he dealt his antag-
onist four kings and a jack, and himself
three aces and two small hearts having
previously taken the precaution to place
the fourth ace on his knee. The Moslem
ruler drew one card and Christian war
rior two. taking an early opportunity of
replacing one of them with the card on
his knee. The betting was long and ar
duous, but, finally, the Christian not de-
string to prolong the agony of his brave
opponent, called him. What, then was
his surprise when the Dey brought forth
four kings and an ace, the ace that he
had placed on his own knee, while
his own hand consisted of three aces, a
queen and the seven of diamonds. With
the remark that he would not play in a
game where cheating was going on, the
disguised Christian returned to his Eng
lish mission and sailed another silver
mine.
Moral-Honesty is the best policy and
no man knows what Dey may bring
forth.-Neao York World.

To DRESS SILK.-Take an old kid
glove the color of the dress as near as
possible; put it in saucepan with a
quart of water, boil down to q pint, and
sponge the dress on the right side with
this. 1t is dressing the French give to
many of their silks. A white glove will
do for any color If you cannot match
the shade.
A REMEDY FOR RHEUMATIsM.--Here
is remedy I have tried in my family
and found most excellent for inf1amma-
tory rheumatism-itisac charity to print
it: Four ounces saltpetre in one pint Of
alcohol; shake well and battle parts af-
fected wetting red flannel with it, lay
it on. It does not cure, but takes away
the redness, reduces the swelling, and
relieves the torment and agony. M. s. d..
HEATING THE OvEN.-Fruit pies re-
quire hotter fire than bread, but steady

crust will cook before the fruit does
If too slow toward the last, the crust

If too hot toward the last the fruit will
stew out before the crust is done.
Pumpkin pies require fire as hot as can
be without burning the crust.
COMPOSITION CAKE-This recipe will
do also for jelly, or cup cakes. Take two

Mr.. Beecher sat on the pulpit stairs,

but the questions pressed 50 severely on
the sore spot as to call the pastor con-
tinually to his feet, and at last he had no
chance to sit at all, but had to stand and
receive the volley. AS he spoke his face
and hands grew fercely red, and his scalp
