President A. s. p. G. A., rushed in and

some one came in range, looked back,
aud fired a ninety-four pound hoof
that caught Mr.. Bergh about midships,
and soured all the milk of human

She bends the will Of man,

An Arm Out OF Place.

A practical Joke was played oh one
OF our most popular physicians last
week at the Union Fair. A pair OF in
nocents (male and female) from the
country were strolliDg about the
grounds with their arms about each
others necks happy rs two blue birds
in spring, and perfectly unconscious OF
the fact that they were the focus OF
some two Thousand eyes. After some
thing more than an hour OF this sort
of entertainment, il began TO grow mo-
uotonous-not to the actors, but TO the
spectators-and some young rascals
without the fear of God before their
eyes, aud with malice aforethought,
concluded 10 vary the performance and
give renewed interest TO the whole af-
fair by introducing a new character on
the scene. So hunting up the doctor
above alluded to, they told him that n
young man had put his arm out OF
place and to come Immediately. The
doctor, expecting Of course TO find a
bona fde sufferer, made better time it
is said, than the fastest horse on the
race course till the couple were overta-
ken, when instead of finding a man
suffering in mortal anguish the pains
OF a displaced limb, he found young
man who smiled only the smile OF Joy,
peace aud contentment, and smiled
continually; and while it was true that
his arm was ont Of place, he was per-
fectly satisfied to have il remain so.
The doctor didn't replace it, but we
understand that he took il slower GO
ing back, and appeared considerably
blowed, and some assert that he in
dulged in triAe Of profanity. but we
don't believe it.-[St. Louis Mich. }

He Tells the story OF the Custer
Massacre.

NEW YoRK, Nov, 16.-Sitting Bull
has been talking with a correspondent
and tells the story OF the Custer mas
sacre. He says the fight was "hell q
thousand devils" The squaws were
like flying birds the bullets like hum
ming bees. We thought we were whip
ped. not at first but by and by after
wards No yours, no, no, your people
were killed. tell no lies about dead
men. These men who came with the
long hair were as good men as ever
fought. When they rode up their
horses were tired and they were tired.
When they got off their horses they
could not stand firmly on their feet.
They swayed to aud fro, so my young
men have told me, like cypress grass
in the great wind. Some OF them stag
gered under the weight of their guns,
but they began to fight at once; but by
this time our camps were aroused and
there were plenty OF warriors To meet
them. They fired with needle guns.
We repeated with magazine guns and
repeating rifles"
Sitting Bull illustrated by putting
his palms together with the rapidity OF
a fusillade.
"Our young men rained lead across
the ravine and drove the white braves
back, and then they rushed across
themselves and then they found that
they had got good deal to do. The
trouble was with the soldiers; they
were exhausted and their horses both
cred them so mach that they could not
take good aim. Some Of their horses
broke away from them, and left them
to stand dropping fire. All the men
fell back, fighting and dropping. They
could not fire fast enough, though
they kept in pretty good order. They
would fall back across n coulie, and
make fresh stand beyond, on higher
ground. There were great many
brave men in that fight, and from time
to time while it Vas going on they
were shot down like pigs; they could
not help themselves. One by one the
officers fell where the last fire took
the long hair stood like sheaf OF corn
with all the ears falling around him.
Q.-Not wounded? A.-No.
Q,-How many stood by him? A
Few.
Q.-Then did he fall? Ale killed
n man; when he fell he laughed.
Q.-You mean he cried out? A.-No
he laughed.
Ole had fred his last shot from
a carbine? A.-No.
Odd he stand up after no first
fell? Ale rose upon his hands and
tried another shot, but his pistol would
not go Off
Q.-Was any one else standing up
when he fell? A.-One man was kneel-
ing. that was all, but he died before
the long hair.
Sitting Bull says there were only
squaws, old men and little children in
front OF Reno, keeping him in his
strong position on the bluff and pre-
venting him giving aid 10 Custer.

Drunk enncss.

Whatever difference of opinion may
prevail in regard TO drinking stimu-
lants, there should be no difference OF
opinion among good men as 10 the
guilt OF drunkenness. SO much has
been said during the Temperance
movement upon the sources aud causes
Of intoxicstion, that the thing itself is
sometimes in danger Of escaping with
little condemnation. As inducing
reckless disregard Of human life, IL is a
fearful evil and a crime. IL is difficult
and embarrassing 10 secure the arrest
Of a half-drunken brute, though his
manner indicates n violent and vicious
tendency. Any fancied reflection by a
mere look is enough to make him
threatening and dangerous. One must
wait for some desperate assault before
there can be any sufficient ground for
caging the beast. Consequently We
see daily in stages, cars, and ferry
boats, men with passions inhamed by
drink, moving about like conquerors,
all quiet citizens exercising ingenuity
TO avoid a difficulty and an explosion.

ing intoxicated persons did not lessen

the tempter, IL does not lessen in any
degree the vileness Of the drunkard.
He has dethroned is own reason, and

consumption n Disease OF In-Door
Life.

Among the natives OF Senegambia
pulmonary affections are not only near
ly, but absolutely unknown; yet sin
gle year passed in the overcrowded
msn-pens and steerage hells of the
slave-trader often sufficed to develop
the disease in that most yirulent form
known a. galloping consumption; and
the brutal planters OF the Spanish An
TILES made n rule Of never buying an
imported negro before testing his
wind /. e., trotted him mp hill and
watched his respirations. If he proved
to be 'roorer, as turfmen termed il,
they knew the dungeon had done it's
work and discounted his value accord
ingly. "If n perfectly sound man is
imprisoned for life," says Baron d'AT-
blay, the Belgian philanthropist, "his
lungs as a rule will first show symp-
toms Of disease, and shorten his misery
by hectic decline, unless he should
commit suicide.
Our home statistics show that the
percentage OF death by consumption in
each state bears an exact proportion to
the greater or smaller number Of in
habitants who follow indoor occupa-
tions, and is highest in factory districts
Of New England and the crowded cities
OF the Central States. In Gseat Bri.
tain the rate increases with the latitude,
and attains it's maximum height in
Glasgow, where, as Sir Charles Brodie
remarks, windows are opened only one
day for every two in Birmingham, and
every three and a half in London; but
going farther north the percentage sud-
denly sinks from twenty-three 10 elev-
en-, and even to six. II we cross the ff-
ty-seventh parallel, which marks the
boundary between the manufacturing
countries OF Central Scotland and the
pastoral regions Of the north.
II is distressingly probable, then, "a
say the least, that consumption, that
most fearful scourge Of the human
race, IL not ''mysterious dispensatior
Of Providence, nor a ''product Of ouI
outrageous climate" but the direct
consequence Of an outrageous violation
