Mysterious Disappearance.

A very remarkable case of mysterious
disappearance was brought to light here
to-day. The name Of the missing man
is or was S. B. W. Gill, prominent
lawyer Of the Allegheny county bar and
one of the wealthiest citizens OF Pitts
burgh. It appears that Mr.. Gill left
his home in Allegheny about the middle
of September. He took with him his
only daughter, q young lady Of 10 years,
who has for the past two years been in
attendance at Vassar College. Mr.. Gill
accompanied her to Poughkeepsie, and,
after seeing his daughter once more in
the midst OF school duties, continued up
the Hudson to Albany, where he had
some business to transact. The last
heard from him was seven weeks ago, at
Albany, when he wrote to his wife and
son in this city, in which he stated that
he had arrived safely at his destination.
Tt is supposed that the letter was written
Immediately after Mt. Gill reached the
city, Or, perhaps, on the steamer on the
way there, and mailed as soon as he ar
rived. Since then no communication has
been received from him. A few days
ago his son, Mr.. Harry w. Gill, who is
also a member of the bar, went to Albany
to make a search for his father. The
trip was fruitless one. Mr.. GiIl's name
could not even be found upon any of the
hotel registers of the place. The parties
with whom he was to have transacted
business had not seen or heard of him,
and his son was compelled to return,
sick at heart and confident that death
must have come to his father in some
unknown manner, either by accident or
by foul play. II jtt8burgh Post.

THE CUSTER MASSACRE.

Graphic Account OF the Fight as Told by
Sitting Bull-How the Brave Custer Met
His Death
Sitting Bull has been talking with a
correspondent and telling the story of
the Custer massacre. He says: "The
fight was hell. A thousand devils-the
squaws-were like flying birds; the bull
let's like humming- bees. We thought
we were whipped; not at first, but by
and by. Afterward no. Your people
were killed. I tell no lies about dead
men. These men who came with the
Long Hair (Custer) we're 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 and fro,
SO my young men have told me, like
limbs of expresses in a great wind. Some
of them staggered 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
fred with needle guns. We replied
with magazine guns repeating rifles.
Sitting Bull illustrated by patting
his palms together with the rapidity
of fusilade. "Our young men rained
lead across the river and drove the white
braves back, and then rushed across
themselves, and then they found that
they had a good deal to do. The trouble
was with the soldiers. They we're SO
exhausted, and their horses bothered
chem so much, they could not take good
aim. Some of their horses broke away
from them, and left them to stand, and
drop and die. ALI 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 a gully and make a fresh
stand beyond, on higher ground. There
we're a great many brave men in that
fight, and from time to time, while it was
going on, they were shot down like pigs.
They could not help themselves One
of the officers fell where the last fight
took place, where the last stand was
made. The Long Hair stood like

last shot.
"From carbine?"
Ono; pistol"
''Did he stand up after he first fell ?''
"He rose up on his hands and tried
another shot, but his pistol would not
go Off"
"Was any one else standing up when
he fell down %
"One man was kneeling-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 preventing him
giving aid to Custer.

a Curious Suit.

The New Jersey Supreme Court has
rendered an interesting decision in the
case of Mrs. Emma L. Stanley against
John Chamberlain, the noted gambler.
The suit was for the rent of building
which Chamberlain used in his business.
The defense was that the premises were
leased for immoral purposes. The Cir
cult Judge ruled that, il plaintiffs agent
knew at the time of leasing that the
premises were to be used for illegal
purposes, plaintiff herself was charged
BILE with her agents knowledge, and
could not recover. Soplaintiff was non
suited. The Supreme Court, reviewing
the case on a writ of error, reverses
the Judgment, and says defendant,
Chamberlain, is not in a position to in
woke in his defense this rule of law.
The knowledge of the agent IN this case
cannot be regarded as knowledge by the
principal. The plaintiff, upon discov-
ering what her agent had done, had the
right to disavow his act, and she is en-
titled to recover on a quantum valebat
for use and occupation.

The magistrates IN Cambridge, En-
land, have had before them chemist
arrested for selling adulterated soda
water. This water, when analyzed by
the public analyst, was found to contain
sixteen grains of copper, very little
lead, and no bicarbonate of sodium at
all. The chemist "did not know" how
the poisonous minerals had gotten IN.
He made some of his beverages without
soda because not all the people required
a "soapy compound" The use OF Lead
pipes might account for one part of the
poisoning, and of copper faucets and cans
for the other part. Soda-water is drunk
SO much nowadays that venders OF it
cannot be too careful When careless,
they should be compelled to be careful.
The Cambridge chemist was fined, as he
ought to be.

TENDERNESS.

f;5 unto every heart is Gods good gift
OF simple tenderness allowed; we meet
With love in many fashions when we lift
First TO our lips hfes waters bitter-sweet.
Love comes upon with resistless power
OF curbless passion and with headstrong will
It plays around like April's breeze and shower,
Or calm flows, rapid stream. and still.
1t comes with blessedness unto the heart
That welcomes it Alright, or-bitter fate =
1t wrings the bosom with SO fierce a smart
That love, We cry, is crueler than hate.
And then, ah nc, when love has ceased to bless,
Our broken hearts cry out for tenderness
We long for tenderness like that which hung
About us lying our mothers breast;
A selfess feeling, that no pen nor tongue
Can praise Alright, since silence sings it best.
A love far removed from passions heat
As from the chiIlncss of its dying fire;
A love to lean on when the failing feet
Begin to totter and the eyes to tire.
In youths brief heyday hottest love We seek,
The rcddest grasp-but, when it dies,
God grant that later blossoms, violcts meek,
May spring for us beneath 1fe's autumn skies
God grant some loving one be near to bless
Our weary way with simple tenderness!

ONE of the members of the Virginia
Legislature. at the last session OF that
body, got law passed to compel every
barkeeper to purchase an instrument to
record every drink sold, and on every
drink thus registered the landlord was to
pay a tax. The dealers, learning that
the register had been rejected in the
Patent Office, bought up the patent that
formed the basis of the rejection, and
engaged lawyers to bring suit against
the manufacturer of the other register,
and an order has been issued restraining
the issue of the registers until the ques-
ton as to a prohibitory Injunction can
be argued.
