truth in the story of the correspondent
of the Cleveland (Ohio) Leader that
Gen. Custer's remains were not taken
to West Point for burial. He says:
"Having been one of his men, and

would say that there could be no diff

buried in this manner: We dug a grave
of about four and a half feet deep, and
then, after they were covered up, piled
rocks on them and got q round piece of
wood with a pith in it, dug u the pith
and put in a piece Of paper with the
name of the officer on 1t, and then filed
up the hole with candle grease, and
drove 1t in the ground at the head of
the grave, SO there could be no difficulty
in finding Custer's remains. But the

True Faith.

A very intelligent and attentive au-
dience assembled last night in Recrea-
ton Hall to listen to Rev. j. j. Cogh-
lan's lecture, 'sWhere can True Faith
be Found?" The speaker alluded in
detail to the cardinal doctrines ad-
vanced by the various denominations of
the present day, showing that each
claimed to guide the public in the only
true path Of faith and practice. While
the speaker exercised charity towards
all, and gave the credit for honest con-
victions to those with whom he felt
called upon to differ, he pointed out
some radical errors which needed
speedy remedy. He went over the
whole ground Of theology, and exhibit
ed II remarkable fund of knowledge
concerning the subject under considera-
tion. His address throughout was elo-
quent and argumentative and attracted
universal admiration.
