General Custer.

A recent letter to tho Chicago Jour
nal says
General Custer hoped to have sur
prised the Sioux, and supposed when
he struck tho first blow that he had
done so, but on tho contrary Sitting
Bull had scouts out watching his APP
proach all through the forenoon of the
fatal day on which the fight took place,
who frequently reported to their Chief
the progress of the column, so that tho
Indians, as already seen, were fully
prepared for their enemy when he
arrived,
MANY of the facts stated here have
only lately been obtained from the
Sioux who surrendered last Winter
with Sitting Bull, and have never been
published. Some OF them were also
obtained from Crow scout named
"Curley," who was with Custer up to
nearly the time the action began, but
who then deserted the column, skulked
out of sight, and watched the fight
from safe distance. For long time
he refused to talk, but through repeated
questonings has at last told what he
knows of it.
The monument that has lately been
erected in compliance with an order
from the Secretary of War, stands upon
the top of hill overlooking the entire
field occupied by both forces during
the action, and is within few feet of
the spot where the body of General
Custer and those of seven of his men
lay in heap when found by the troops
who arrived upon the scene the next
day.
1t is of Vermont granite, and is in
the form of low obelisk in two blocks
resting upon step. 1t is in three
pieces, weighing respectively 10000,
$4,000 and $4,000 pounds. The stepor
base is six feet square and the obeliskis
four feet square at the base, tapering
to two and half feet at the top. The
total height is thirteen and a half feet

ley Lake, Just west Of this eli be-
comes dry. During the summer n nths
there have always existed holes which
became the resort Of alligators. This
year the continued drought has evapo-
rated even this customary moisture,
leaving only few slush spots.
Last Saturday party Of citizens re-
paired to the lake, armed with long
rods Of iron and ropes, for the purpose
of destroying the alligators which,
from time immemo.ial, have infested
this place. These reptiles had buried
themselves deep in the moisture of tho
lake bed, and were easily discovered
by the huge burrows in the ground, tho
entrances to which were worn smooth
by the passage of the ugly denizens.
The modus operandi of catching them
was TO thrust long rod. with hook
formed at one end and turned down
ward, into one of these caverns and
stir up the occupant. IL would invari-
ably snap at the object of the disturb
ance, and jerk fastened the hook in
to the soft part of the lower jaw, when
1t was drawn forth and dispatched with
a Ratchet. The party killed six of the
amphibious reptiles, one measuring
nine feet, two about seven feet, two six,
and one five feet.
A number of loggerheads Of the ma
rlne species Of turtles were also killed.
These were found buried in the mud by
sounding with rod, and then hooked
and dragged TO the surface, One of
the party declared that there was
layer Of them beneath the surface, they
were so numerous, and the sport OF
killing them was too tame and labori-
Gus TO afford any recreation. --Natcht.

Tanning Infants.

The Public kindergarten Society of
San Francisco has issued a neatly-pub-
lished history of the Silver Street Kin
dergarten. in which some of the diff
culties this initial kindergarten School
had in its first efforts, and the favorable
progress made since those first success
full efforts. are comprehensively stated.
Speaking of the class of children the
kindergartens had to tame, the report
says: "They were entirely unique,
each one possessing an individual ideal
of infant villainy, and acting up TO it
with unconquerable energy and perse-
verance 1t was necessary to
separate these small elves from their
previous environment, to keep them
from numbering each other before the
real poetry of education could be put
into daily practice.
at was some time before they could
90 down stairs in line without precipi-
tating each other head foremost by
kicks and furtive punches. The boy at
the end never failed to remind the boy
at the head that he'd lay him out fiat if
he got into the yard first "a threat
which always embarrassed a free and
expeditions EXIT, and all their relations
to each other seemed to be arranged on
this broad, practical basis of belliger-
ence and brute force"
Such curious ideas have these little
waits of anything concerning God and
heaven! II wouldn't be afeerd to say
Merry Christmas to God; He amt

we were talking about our Christmas
tree. And on wearing an unusually
pretty dress to school one morning, !

that dress, wouldn't he"
Then hear this colloquy between two
little boys engaged in drawing;

Joe-Well, Miss Kate amt lookin'.
Jack-Well, God'll see you, sure

Young Sturgeon was expected to die
within twenty-iour hours, at Crestine,

Gray consented TO marry him, although
she had never reciprocated his al.ec-

her into a dilemma for Sturgeon has

an look down on honest labor. As
men dey am a failure. People who
doan't hate 'em an avoid 'em feel to

A Long Farewell.

Within few feet of the catafalque
Mrs, Garfield paused and bowed her
head as if in prayer. The children and
Others advanced TO the caskct. The
face which. owing TO decomposition, was
hidden from view through the day, was
disclosed for their benefit But, oh, how
changed! The features, once so manly
and strong, were pinched and worn.
The face was terribly discoIored, and
none but the eyes of love could discover
in its lineaments aught that looked fa-
miliar. Harry, VINO was the first to APP
proach, gazed for moment at the in
animate form, then bending forward he
gravely imprinted kiss on the wrink-
led brow; then placing his kerchief to
his face walked sadly away. Miss Mollie
displayed greater emotion. Throwing
one arm lovingly over the casket, us if
to embrace it, she exclaimed ooh pa
pa, papa" She then kissed the face
repeatedly, her graceful form tremb-
ling with grief, until gently removed by
Mrs. Rockwell. After the others had
paid their last tribute of respect, they
all withdrew and Mrs. Garfield was
alone with the dead. Wat thoughts
must have filled her mind as she stood
beside the bier Doubtless she recalled
his early struggles to attain an educa-
ton, while battleing maufully to obtain
the necessaries Of life, their youthful
marriage and happy home life, the birth
of their children, his honored career as
a soldier and statesman, and this--ths
was the end of ali his greatness, AT
the expiration of twenty minutes she
joined her friends in the corridor, Hell
veil was again lowered, her step hesitat-
ing and slow In her hand she bore
some of the flowers that adorned the
bier She entered the carriage and was
hastily driven away: Those eyes that
behold her to-day will never see her
again, for Lucretia Garfield has paid
ner last visit to Washington city. It's
very presence is hateful to her By reason
Of the $, d tragedy that has robbed her
of a husband devoted aud true and tho
nation of one Of the grandes, figures in
