the RENO INVESTIGATION.

We see by our eastern exchanges that
the evidence taken in the Reno investigs-
ton would make several volumes of rather
monotOnous reading. The OMAHA Bee
says:
ut is so contradictory that the reader
would be rs much in the dark after read
ing 1t as before. There appear to be two
sets OF witnesses. and. although they both
participated in the fight, they seem to have
altogether different impressions of the
scenes enacted on the memorable 18th of
June. 1876. While some saw Indians by
hundreds and by thousands. swarming on
the bluffs. charging over the prairie and
massing in the woods, others. riding in
the advancing line. saw only few Indian
boys and squaws driving in the herd and
kicking up dust in the face of the soldiers.
While some of the witnesses saw Reno in
the front riding side by side with his men
and firing as rapidly as any of them at the
foe, others did not seem to know
anything about him, and thought he was
keeping out of harms way. Some of them
feel sure Reno could easily have charged
through the Indian village and united will,
Custer, while others again are positive
that he would have met the fate of Gus
ter"
The Inter-Ocean says: 1.-THE witnesses
have necessarily gone over nearly the same
ground, and If the military court were gov
erned by strict rules of civil evidence. the |
record would be exceedingly monotonous.
It escapes this tedinm through the latitude |
Of its rules. which permits witnesses to en-
.ertain the court and spectators with racy
and choice bits of personal /
opinion. The record Is full of enlivening
l.ots by eye-witnesses OF the events into
which 1t is inquiring, Of graphic pictures Of
'pisOdes of the battle and retreat which the
Indulgence Of the court permitted them to
RAW; and Of curious Kaleidoscope conn.,
Ilentary upon the military and personal
onduct OF the battle growing out OF the
military latitude Of evidence which asks
illnesses their opinions instead OF facts.

A Talk With Artemus Ward.

I met Artemus Ward but once. /
was quite young at the time, and was
acting as city editor of the Star, pub
ished at Schenectady, N. Y. While I
was editor of that street met Artemus.
I was standing III, '':e bridge at the
time, and, in talk:...; about newspaper
work, was about to say something in
regard to my heavy l'or,al RESPONSE
bility, but Ward checA ii u4e by asking:
"What creek is this =
@Creekl' I exclaimed, why, this is
the Erie canal"
"How far is it navigable?"
~Why, of course it is navigable from
one end to the other"
SWELL" solemnly replied Ward, shat
beats all the streams I ever heard of.
By the way, I think I can make out
some large boats anchored up the
stream there-what are they, propellers
or side-wheelers?
replied that they were merely canal
boats, and we're moved by horse power.
"Ahl I didn't think the stream was
80 shallow as that" said Artemus.
"As shallow as what?"
"Why, you say that those boats are
pulled along by horses. Now, of course,
they must walk along in front of the
boat, mustn't they? I used to run q
stone boat on my lamented Uncle
Johns farm, and I distinctly remember
that the horses walked along in front"
mentally declared that I had never
before met with such ignorance. ]
spent some time in explaining the pc.
culiarities of the big ditch, and, just as
had begun to think that at last I had
set the stranger right on the subject, he
knocked my hopes into kidding wood
by remarking:
II suppose that, when the stream
dries up in summer, they put the boats
on wheels, don't they?" -; ~
Then I began again and explained
every feature in the canal, from New
| York to Erie. How attentively he list
ened to my words. I can: still see thai
melancholy face, Lit by the sad Light o
the stars, and those mou1nful eyes look
ing into mine so earnestly, and again
hear, as I did then, after I had talked
for nearly half an hour, going fully in

DICKS THANKSGIVING.

Wei, never saw such Thanksgiving!
why, the times are so hard, you know,
We can't have turkey or chicken
No-nor hardly indulge in crow!
For. yesterday, father was saying,
No poultry for dinner this year,"
Then he just talked first rate to us children,
And gently called mother, MY DEAR"
And he said though he'd lost all his money
And couldn't buy much that was good,
he hoped we'd be happy and thankful,
Well, row, amt it queer how things happened
For only just one yeac ago.
we lived at the top, let me toll you,
And went i'll for splendor and show!
And twas only last year at Thanksgiving
Our table waagorgeous with plate,
And every conceivable dainty
That ever was longed for we ate.
But We never once thought to be thankful,
For We Jared just the same every day;
Ana we children were cross and complaining
And wanted things just our own way.
And father-I hardly dare tell you
How angry and dreadful he grew!
For he sat long at wine after dinner,
And that was the cause, we all knew.
And mother looked wrctched and fearful
When We went to say our good.niyh
For father was raving SO wildly
That che hurried us out of his sight
Wen, that was last year; when the crash came
AND fathers great fortune was gone:
AnG from all of his hundreds of thousands
Not dollar was left az his own.
At first, he Just broke down entirely,
But mother stood up like man,
AND encouraged, and cheered him, and helped
him
I'll tell it as loud as can.
Let a man only get into trouble
Then see what woman will do!
How quick she'll forget her own sorrows,
And help him to carry his, too.
Well, father took heart; now we're living
In three little rooms-a!l US four!
But, will you believe it? We never
Were quarter SO happy before!
Every, night we all kneel down together,
And father thanks God for us all
His treasures ON earth"-so he calls us,
And prays that whatever befall,
1--WE oil may have treasures in Heaven,
Where naught can corrupt or Destroy
Prays for each one of Us as we kneel there,
His wife and his girl and his boy.
Well, own to a weakness for turkeys,
And chickens and ducks-no, not cro,cs.
And really enjoy plum-pudding,
And oyster and creams-and all those
But whatever we do have at our house
Shall be seasoned with love and good-chcer
And If tn It doesn't make Thanksgiving
Well try to do better next year!

4 COUNTRY THANKSGIVING SERMON

Az. goodman, close the great barn door;
The mellow harvest time is Ger; 49,. =
The earth has given her treasured meet
Of golden corn and bearded wheat.
You and your neighbors we'll have wrought
And Of the summers bounty caught,
Won from her smiles and from her tears
Much good. perhaps for many years,
) You come tribute now to pay
, Tho bells proclaim Thanksgiving Day.
Well have you sown, well have you reaped
And Of the riches you have heaped,
You think, perhaps, that, you will give
Apart, that Others, too, may live.
BUTT such argument you use,
Your niggard bounty refuse.
No gifts you on the altar lay
In my sense are given away.
l.o! rings from heaven voice abroad;
Who helps Gods poor doth lend the Lord
What is your wealth? He'd have you know
To hold II, you must let tgo.
Think you the hand by Heaven struck cold
Will yet have power to clutch Its gold?
shrouds have no pockets, do they say?
Behold! Ishow you then the way;
Wait not till death shall shut the door.
But send your cargoes on before.
Lo! he that glveth OF his hoard
To help Gods poor doth lend the Lord.
To-day, my lbrethern do not walt;
Just yonder stands Dame Kelley's gate:
And would. you build mansion fair
In heaven send your lumber there;
Every stick that on her wood-plle lea
May rlse dome beyond the skies;
You stop the rents within her walls,
And yonder rise your marble halls;
For every pane that stops the wind,
Thore shineth one with jasper lined.
Your wealth is gone, your form lies cold,
But In the city paved with gold
Your hoard is held with hands divine;
1t bears name that marks 1t thine.
Behold the bargain We have made,
With usury the debt is paid.
No moth doth eat, no thieves do steal,
No suffering heart doth envy feel;
Ring out the words, who of his hoard
Doth help Gods poor doth lend the Lord
60, get your cargoes under way;
The bells ring out Thanksgiving Day.
