Indians Who Say that Custer Killed
Himself.

An Indian account of the death of
Custer will not, l think, prove un-
interesting. The Indians ay, that,
after the general stampede, Custer
tried to rally his men around him.
He waved his pistol in the air and
shot it off twice, to attract his men.
Two or three gathered around him,
but as the indians still continued to
advance, one of the soldiers tried to
run away. Custer fired at him and
killed him, and then, seeing the case
quite hopeless, the Indians gather
ing around him from all parts,
turned the revolver on himself, pre-
ferring to die by his own hand.
The Indians say that they think this
person was Custer, as he was chief;
but they are not certain of the fact.
Rain-in-t the Face took a soldier pris-
oner, but he was not allowed to live
long, as he was killed at dance
that followed the fight. The 1ndi-
ans here all agree on one thing
that the number of Indians killed
in the fight was thirty-s they
gave their names.-Correspondent

THREE DEGRADED YOUNG MEN.

Three young men of Nevada City,
Cal, have been arrested on a charge
of dropping obscene letters about a
dancing hall, while socisls of the
fashionable Young Mems Club of the
place were in progress. They were
caught in the act of tlirusting letters
into the room through the ventilators
near the floor. TIE names of the
offenders are E. II. Moore, Joseph
Sims, and George Nichols. The
former was placed under $500 bonds,
and the two latter under $500. The
Nevada Transcript says that they
will be made examples of.

SOME of the newspapers are

-SOME of the newspapers are
telling very pretty story about a
gentleman and a widow in Indiana.
1t doesn't at all agree with the facts,
but that is in its favor, as the facts
take a large part Of the romance out
of it. The newspapers say that a
gentleman met lady on street who
he at once knew was widow, al
though he had meyer before seen her.
He asked her few questions, which
she couldn't answer, and passed on /;
but it occurred to him that he wanted
wife, and with this happy idea in
his head he chased after the widow,
offered himself without ceremony,
and in twenty minutes was married.
There is another story, which says the
widow declined to listen to any pro
posals for marriage, but, of course,
everybody knows that must be absurd.
This man and this woman are un-
doubtedly married, and il would be
interesting if the newspapers out
that way would present some addi-
tional statements as to how the case is
getting along. Picking up widows
10 this way and unpremeditatedly
marrying them is something that
cannot safely come into general
practice. Recent events have shown
that there is always more or less
danger that q man may marry
widow whose husband is not yet dead

-SoME practical women OF Chi
cago have organized an Exchange,
with tho purpose of utilizing the
work of women who are COM
PEELED to support themselves by the
labor of their hands. In many in
stances the women workers, though
dexterous and even artistic, find it
difficult to get products of their
labor into the market. The Woman's
Exchange undertakes this, and the
experiment thus far indicates that
for whatever any woman can do well
she can find prompt sale and reason
able price in this way. The Ex-
change undertakes also to supply al
most any demand in the way of
woman's ihandiwork, having success
fully solicited special orders. The
business covers wide range of arti-
cles. including undergarments, chill
dren's clothing, pickles, preserved
fruits, cakes and almost every con-
ceivsbie thing. Probably the Ex-
change would undertake to furnish
men with wives if they could show
themselves worthy and entitled. The
association is to be incorporated
which will give it greater opportuni-
ties for usefulness.

If Nero had lived in Detroit he
couldn't have been a tyrant, for every
body would have agreed with him.
Yesterday morning a citizen who de-
sired to see how many people had opin-
ions of their own on the weather start
ed out by saying TO a merchant:
lawful hot, isn't it?"
"Yes-very hot" was the prompt
reply.
The next man was tailor and TO him
the citizen said:
"Ever see such raw weather.
"Never did-never did, was The
answer.
The third man was a lawyer, and
after glance at the sky the citizcl
said:
"I4ooks now as if we would have {
long spell of dry weather."
"Just what was saying five minutes
ago." was the reply.
The fourth man was All alderman, ant

"I believe we shall have rain ever!

clouds in the eastY"
"Yes, was watching them. l tol.

A CyclOpedia for $1,000.

Perhaps the most remarkable liter
airy enterprise of the time, is the publi-
cation of the Library of Universal
knowledge, i'll 20 volumes of nearly
1000 pages each, handsomely bound,
for 80 cents per volume, or $1,000 for
the set. 1t is reprint entire of the
last 1S7Y Edinburgh and London edi-
ton of Chambers Encyclopedia: A
Dictionary of Universal knowledge for
the People, with very large additions
upon topics OF special interest to Amer
ican readers. The amount of matter
will somewhat exceed that of the Cy-
clopedias of Appleton or johnson,
though the price is but fraction OF
their cost. Volume one is to be ready
early in September, and the others will
follow at very short intervals. The re-
markably low prices are accounted for
by the method of sale, TO the subscrib-
ers direct, saviag them the large COM
mission, often so or 60 per cent, paid
to agents or dealers; also, by the recent
great reduction in the cost of making
books, and by making very large sales.
This certainly is work that the mil
lions will appreciate. Special induce
ments are offered to early subscribers
and to clubs.
The same publishers have recently
issued editions otChambers' Cyclope-
dia of English Literature, vols, 81 90,
formerly sold in 2 vols, for $500;
also, Rollins Ancient History and Jo-
sephus' Works, large type editions, for
S2.25 and $500, and Smiths Bible Die

Saluting the Bride,

There was marriage at the upper
end of Detroit. A great big chap, al
most able to throw a carload of lumber
of the track, fell in love with a widow
who was cooking for the hands in saw
mill, and after a weeks acquaintance
they were married. The boys around
the mill lent William three calico shirts,
dress coat and a pair Of white pants,
and Clipped in purse of about twenty
dollars, and the couple started for De-
troit Oh bridal tour within an hour
after being married.
"This ERE lady," explained William
as the conductor came along for tickets,
'are my bride, just splioed just fifty
six minutes ago. Cost two dollars, but
durn the costl she's lily of the valley,
Mary Is, and Pm the right bower in a
new pack of keerds. Conductor, salute
tho bride !"
The conductor hesitated. The widow
had freckles and wrinkles and a turn-uI
nose, and kissing the bride was no graf,
iiication.
"COpductor, salute the bride or look
out for tornadoesw continued William
as he rose up and shed his coat. The
conductor saluted. IL was the bes
thing he could do just then.

drops some egg on his immaculate

When Cooley read the accounts Of
Paul Boyton's exploit in swimming the
English channel, i IL struck him that he
could improve little on Boyton's life
prcserver. He said he had invented an
upparatus with which o. man could walk
on the surface of The water, mud witt, a
| little practice glide over II with the We
llo@ty with Which good skater skins
over the ice. So he invited party of
us down TO the river one day TO see him
Lime he appeafed VIII something ltiiAtb
looked IKE q small guhboat underIeach
armm Then he strapped one on eath
foot, and we, saw TINT the article was
about four feet long, and shaped Ike
shallow scow. D iti
AS he prepared to lower himself over
the edge of the wharf, he askcd us to
designate the point on the other side of
the river at which we wished him to
land. He said IL was immaterial TO him
whether he went one mile or six, up
stream or down stream, because he
conld just hop along over that river like
swallow. His general idea was to
produce a revolution in navigation, and
10 make men independent of steamers
and other vessels when they desire TO
travel upon the water with rapidity.
Then he dropped into the streufn with
bis scows, and started himself by hold
ing on to the side of the wharf until he
was ready to start. At last he said the
experiment would begin, and he struck
out with his left foot The front end
OF that particular scow scuttled under
the water, and as he tried to save him
self with his right foot, the end of that
scow also dipped down, and Cooley
tumbled. i'i'Hi 'n'. '''N
The next minute he was hanging
head downward in the river, with moth
ing visible to the spectators but the bot
toms of two four-foot gunboats. The
patent apparatus simply kept all the
rest of him under water. Then
couple Of men padded out to him i'm a
skif and hauled him in. Then we un-
buckled his scows, took off his clothes.
and rolled him over vinegar barrel to
work the water out of him. In about
an hour he came TO, and uttering
groan, he said: l..,..i..i
"Where am IT'
We explained to him. and he asked:
"What drowned me?'' rr. I.
We told him that he was injured by
an attempt to revolutionize navigation,
and he demanded; -
"HOw'd try to do it2' .Hn.
We reminded him that he had started
for skim up the river with frigate.

We showed them to him, and, calling
Ben Martin to him, he said family: -
''Ben, wish you'd cuss them things
for me. Cuss 'em vigorous, and then
split 'em up into kin'lin wood for the
poor. I'm too weak TO do justice to the
subject.
Then we took him home, and he was
in bed for fortnight. lie says now
that he wants to live to see Boyton
some day go chuck to the bottom.
Then he'll be perfectly happy.

A Cellar Discovery.

During the Napoleonic war, when the
allied troops occupied the BIessau, five
of their officers entered the chateau,
the owner of which was absent, but his
servants gave them some Refreshments.
In the meantime the master of the
house arrived, and after apologizing to
his guests for their not having met with
Il reception suitable to their rank, in
vited them to splendid dinner.
Some excellent wine was served up.
One of the officers asked the master of
the house whether that was really the
best in his cellar. The latter replied,
without hesitation, it was.
81 am however convinced" replied
the officer, "that you have still better"
This incrcdulity displeased. lie
was invited TO the cellar and accepted
the offer. The officer asked for pick
axe, removed some casks, struck
against the wall, and an opening soon
appeared which led into small secret
cellar, where we're concealed several
casks of wine of the highest value.
"Did not tell you sir" said the OFF,
Ger, "that there was better wine in
your cellar than that which you gave
us at dinner~
"Sir," replied the owner of tho cell
lar, 81 give you my word of hopor that
| had no knowledge of this secret
place. purchased this chateau with
out having any suspicion of such Q
vault"
81 can readily believe YOU" said
the officer, "because it was myself who
caused it to be constructed, in order to
secrete NV most valuable property
from those who might possess my
/ chateau during my emigration; and L
prove il to you, you have only TO dig il
the cellar, and you will find there gold
silver, plate and other valuables whicl
belong TO me, and which you have no
purchased. l hope you will permit mi
TO take them away"
, "Nothing can be more fair" replies
} the existing owner OF the cellar; "tha
, property had no existence Tor me-"
/ The officer loaded two baggage cart
| with them and departed, after thanking
{ his host for his honest entertainment.
