Maj. Reno to retreat and to have remained

whole body. Mai. Reno's conduct was
brave and praiseworthy. During the retreat
twenty-five men We 70 killed and seventeen
wounded, and the time consumed was about
an hour. When We arrived ON the top of
the hill Benteen's force came, but the pack
train was three miles to the rear. Reno
showed no signs of fear 1t this
time, but was conspicuou.ly brave and fear
less. No communication had been received

warriors in the village that evening, itbeing
two and a half or three miles long. They
first knew of Custer's fate on the 9th. The
line of battlewas perfectly evident from the
dead horses and corpses. The position was

Reno's in this matter.

A STRANGE SUICIDE.

considerably exercised by the suicide OF ono OF ts
brightest ornaments, the young aud lovely Countess
Vera Koscheefl. who short time ago suddenly dis
appeared from hcr palace in the old Russian capital
only two days after her solemn bctrothai to Count
Heimann which had been celebrated with festive
rejoicings upon All unusually magnificent scale. No
one could imagine whittier she had gone until her
steward received letter from her, written at her
chateau in the Crimea, wherein she informed him
that "she was going to bathe In the river running
through her estate. and should not return alive
from her bath" She also described the exact spot
near which her body would bo found In the water
Search was, OF course, made with all possiblo
promptudc. and 1t resulted III tho discovery OF the
beautiful young countess corpse sewn up In large
straw sack and sunk in the river. The seams wcro
found to be In the interior Of the sack proving that
Vera Koscheeff had deliberately sown herself up IN
sack the river bank aud then cast herself into
the stream. In another letter. addressed to one of
her uncles and received by him some time after her
death, she gave as her reason for enclosing herself
I'm sack previously to drowning herself her extreme
fear of crawfsh ani water beetles. Few stranger
and more fantastic suicides have been recorded even
in Russian annals of sel.-dcstruction which are ex-
ccptonaly rich In grisy stories Of this particular
