4LTERITEON AND REMISSION on

In the accustomed routine of oduca-

different kinds oflessons.
The principles that guide the alterna

else and application are apparently these
Sleep is the only entire and absolute
cessation of the mental and bodily ex.
penditure and perfect or dreanless sleep
is the greatest cessation of all. What
ever shortens the due allowance of sleep,
renders it fitful and disturbed, CT pro

In waking hours there may be a ces
sation from A given exercise, with more
or less ofinacti0n over the whole system
The greatest diversion of the working
forces is made by our meals; during these
the trains of Thought are changed, while
the body is rested.
Bodily or muscular exercise, when al
ternated with sedentary mental labor, i.

with an expenditure requisite to redress
tie balance of the physical functions

observations teach Us that these two

Henceforth my path slopes downward to the grave
The wine of life Is out, the cup TUNED down;
Lies ventures all weary burden prove;
Ny love Low turns TO thee-to thee alone.
Esrth's highest goal Is overm Itched by cost
But Love, heayen-born, still plunes her golden

Toward That blest Paradise where treasures lost
Are found immortal, past all whitening
There thou and I, loved and trusting heart,
Will d. veil apart from all the world beside,
Loving eacn other, never more 10 part

Exhuming the Remains Of Custer and
His ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS of the
Bloody FfeId-SOme Light Thrown
Or che Massacre.

All the graves of both men and officers
were discovered without difficulty. The
remains were found to be scattered over
an area of several hundred acres.
All that evening, in camp, the soldiers
were converting cedar boughs into stakes
| or head-bOards, with which to mark the
graves. Each stake was cut just three
! feet long, and was intended to be driven
! into the ground two-thirds of its length.
| On the morning of the Sd fatigue party
was ordered out 10 eXhume and RENTER
| the remains of the soldiers who fell
around Custer There were large aud
small trenches, Some contained but few
remains. Others contained long rows of
! separate sets of bones, indicating that as
many as adOzen had been buried together.
/ Where little band had fought together,
and had fallen side by side, or in a heap,
/ they had received burial in about the
same order in which they fell. Only the
| naked bones remained in The trenches.
/ There was no traces of flesh and cCrrup-
/ ton, and no OdOr, except that which was
| waited from the shoels of wild flowers
| blooming in the valley below. In few
| hours the thin layer Of dirt had been re-
moved from the bones of over two hun
| dred soldiers and the remains re-interred
/ in the same trenches but rather more
/ decently than before Three feet #
earth, tastefully heaPed an packed with
! spades and mallets. was put upon each
! set of remains, and the head marked by
/ a cedar stake.
The same day the bones of the officers
were exhumed. The remains of the
/ following officers were Enthusiastically
| identified: Gen. Custer, his brother.
/ Col. Tom Custer, Col. Keogh, Col. Cook.
! Capt. Yates, and Lieuts Smith. Cal
! houn, Cnttenden and Belly. They had
been buried just IS they had fallen, with
/ the single exception OF Col. Custer, who
| had received interment alongside his
! brother.
The grave of the Clusters was near the
summit Of little knoll, right where
the gallant soldier had taken his last
stand. The ground for two hundred feet
around was filed with remains. over
sixty men bad been killed on that little
elevation. The surface OF the knoll was
strewn with dry bones OF horses which
were bleached to the whiteness Of ivory.
From the position of the bones 1T was
evident to the observer that the horses
/ had been shot for the purpose of forming
a breastwork. 1t looked as if the ami

While the work 0f exhumation was

SALE OF FOUR PER CENT. BONDS.

! The success of the domestic sales Of
the four per cent. bonds was a surprise
to the treasury officials, who, we are in
/ formed, had estimated that the amount
taken would be about twenty-five mil
lions, or less than half of the actual sub
scriptions. Atno time under the funding
law has 50 large an amount of govern
ment bonds been disposed of in this
country or Europe in the space OF thirty
days. Compared with the French sub
scriptiens to the indemnity bonds five
years ago, the operation was insignif-
cant in magnitude, and indicative, from
one point of view, of national poverty
From another standpoint this view would
be modified, as the sales were larger than
usual in the times of comparative pros
perity following the war and preceding
the panic. If we omit the purchases in
exchange for fve-twenties, and consider
only the purchases for original invest
ment of four per cent. security, we
find reasons to regard large Investments of
this class by the masses OF the people, out
side If eastern centers, as unsatisfactory
illustrations of the times. Why? Because
money is worth 7a9per cent. in the greater
portion of the country on commercial
paper and in railroad and municipal
bonds. The rejection of a promised
margin of three and five per cent. argues
a lack of confidence in the higher interest
investments. In the United States, so
vast is the reserve of wealth to be devel
oped. and 50 extensive is the demand for
active capital to bring it into available
merchandise o value, that the normal
and bealthful state is monetary activity
and its correlative, higher interest. The
opposite state of affairs, if a settled
condition, indicates comparative sus-
pension of productive action, an inability
to produce proftably in many important
departments os enterprise, lack of con-
dence among capitalists, causing them TO
look with GOODNESS or suspicion upon
commercial and industrial ventures, and
a narrowing of the circle of credit, which,
while shutting out everything not

HOW ANICoNDAs ARE CAPTURED

The anaconda in the Geological gar
dens, London, which has been considered
quite respectable snake, turns out 10
be a comparatively small creature OF Its
kind. Henry J. Cook, of Caracas, Ven
ezuela, in a letter to Frank auckland
states that in the small rivers which flow
into the Orinoco there are large numbers
of anacondas much larger than the one
the society has, and that in large
pond near a friends house in Maturin
lives in shy retirement one that is thirty
six feet long and yard in diameter.
The managers of the gardens have offered
50, 800 for the capture and delivery IN
England of this serpent. 1t requires an
expert fisherman to catch these creatures
alive. In Africa a live dog is used as
bait, and after the dog has been bolted,
the boa coils up and takes nap, and
then the fisherman stuffs him into bag.
A big pocket will be required for the
gentleman in the Maturin pond.

GRASSROPPERS.
billions Of Them in the Yellowstone Co''''-
t"y--AI' Ola Tet's Story of That

Arthur Templeton, an emaciated, de
biiitated, worn-out old soldier, who has
been tramping around after Indians for
several years past, arrived in Chicago
Saturday evening from Tongue nver'
with his discharge papers in his pocket
Mr.. Templeton tells a grasshopper
story which smacks, at first blush, OF the
incredible, but which must nevertheless
be true, since man who had served his
country well, and been honorably dis
charged, could hardly have acquired the
habit Of lying so soon after quitting the
army. According to his account, the
country south of the Yellowstone river
is literally black with young 'hoPPers'
of on the eastern slope of the Big Horn
mountains is where they swarm the
thic5est. A detachment Of cavalry be-
longing 10 Gen. Miles command recently
travelled for three days through the ser
ried ranks of the infesting army OF IN
sects. The whole surface of the country
Looked like one huge grasshopper, so IN
Vulnerable were the pests. They covered
all the rocks; every tree, from the roots
to the toPmost branches, was black with
them, clinging and hanging together IN
solid masses; rivulets were choked and
damned by the writing, struggling,
half-drowned millions, while the air as
high up as the eye could discern, was
swarming with them. Once in while,
brisk gust of wind would set them IN
motion. and, rising from fhe ground en-
zaasse, they would dasl into the faces of
horses and riders, completely binding
them Tor the time bling. These sudden
uprisings frightened the animals, and
frequently set then dashing and cayort-
ing about in the widest manner.
Strange to say, uese grasshoppers had
not devoured everything in the shape of
veget ton. bu5 had spared much of the
grass and foliage. They seemed to be
lastiag. or waiting ior the crops to ma
ture in the states east sof the Missouri.
They were heading ff the Missouri river,
though their progress was slow, and they
seemed rather to be maintaining master
" inactivity, movingOnly when obliged
to. 1t is the opinion Of the officers in
command Of the detachment that, later
in the season, this thrng of insects will
take to wing and deyFtate the maturing
crops in the northwestern states. They
must have something to subsist en-. and
there is not enough vegetation in the
Yellowstone region to afford them one
good meal, if they should all get hungry
at once.
