Another Story of Custer's Death.

The Rochester Democr at has the fol- lowing item
 The case of Sebastian Beck, whose career among the Sioux Indians was noted in this journal, has been fully investigated at the County Poor Office by Overseer McGonegal. During the recountings of his wanderings, the old man gave reporter from this journal a clearer insight into the battle of the "Little Big Horn" than he before had. Beck, who has been captive among the Sioux for eight years, participated in that battle. He recounted the de- tails of the murderous charge upon Custer, in his broken English, in man. ner that was interesting even to those who were familiar with the slaughter of the gallant General and his band. He said that upon the night of the charge Sitting Bull expected Custer, and had massed all his forces and had band of 5000 warriors, of which he was one The plan of their battle was as follows: The Indians fenced in large corral with saplings, and within built fires. Upon the saplings they hung their blank cts, and within they fixed billets of wood to represent themselves as seated about the fires. They then went into the mountains surrounding the spot and waited until Custer and his company should be attracted to the trap they had devised. They were successful, for the General saw the light, reconnoitred, and thought his chance had come. He opened fire upon the Indians. This was the signal. With one fell swoop 5000 painted devils rushed down upon him from the mountain sides. In a moment the little band of 300 men were surrounded, and the unequal battle was commenced. Beck said that Custer showed no fear, but rode into the fight with eyes and saber flashing, and never raised it but that he left upon some red skins face his bloody and ragged-edged trade mark s'X," which so many of his victims in the late war knew so well. One by one his men fell beside him, and at last he stood alone among them bat ting with his trusty saber in his re- maining right hand. But at last he too fell, pierced by seven shots. Beck said that his fight was terrible in it's destruc- tiveness. Fourteen of those Indians who entered the fray paid for it with their lives, and their cold copper-hued faces lay turned to the morning sun next day, with those of the 300 brave soldiers who followed the brave Custer into his last fight. This is the story of the old captive of the Sioux, who claims that he was there and saw that intrepid officer die. His last words were: "I am alone; have done my best; the boys are all gone and I will go with them"

Organic Life in Other Planets.

The London Telegraph has letter from Berlin, which says:-A marvellous discovery was made full year ago by 8 German lawyer named Dr. O. Hahn, but so incredible did it seem that the learned world refused to take notice of it, with one exception. Dr. D. F. Weinland devoted whole year to study Hahn's book and to test thoroughly his microscopic researches and their results. He now publishes his opinion, and de- clares that Hahn has proved the ex- istence of organic remains in the stones which dart into the terrestrial atmos- phere from stellar space.
 From museums in Tuuingen and in Vienna, Hahn procured himself more than 600 chips of meteorites of the Choadrite class, proved in each case to be genuine, and having been collected on eighteen different occasions, partly during the present and partly during the last century, in Europe, Asia and America. Minute inspection has dis covered in them quantity of organic remains, principally belonging to the most ancient form of porous corallines, to the genus of fossil zoophytes de- nominated Favosites, or at least bear ing very strong resemblance to these latter, though of still smaller type. About fifty kinds of these tiny animals have been made out by Dr. Hahn and assigned to sixteen different families, to which he has given names, thus laying the foundation of a new branch of zo- ology-meteoric zoology.
 Dr. Weinland says that it is only the shell of the Choadrite meteorite that is burnt and glazed by friction with our atmosphere. The heat does not extend so far during the short transit of the meteor as to impair the kernel, which has an appearance somewhat like coarse shell lime, of 8 conglomeration of petri- fled organic matter, baked in lump. Though only few specimens can be called well preserved, yet the substance is sufficiently distinguishable to enable us to class most of the structures among the Polycistines and the Foraminifera. They must have existed in water warm enough never to freeze down to the bottom. Where are we to seek for this water, if Prof. Schiaparell1 tells us that meteorites do not belong to our solar system, but are intruders from with out? Very strange is the complete re- semblance of all the cuttings examined to one another, though. as stated, they belong to stones fallen at different periods in all parts of the globe.

 have been the intelligent care and consideration bestowed upon the animal in his every relation in a word, upon the breeding. And this has not failed to include very serious modification of the old methods of treatment, doing away, in many cases, with the inhunan and really savage plans pursued in the eradication of even simple disorders and ailments, and substituting rational measures of relief instead. A prominent factor of this reform, and one indorsed by owners, breeders, farmers and stockmcn tho country over, is ST JACOBS OIL, recognized by all who havc used it us an exceptionally good remedy for tho ailments of the horse and stock generally, meet ing more indications for its use and efiecting fur better results than any article of curative or remedial nature ever introduced.

boats are rowed by Chinese girls, pic- turesque in the neatest of costumes, with lustrous eyes, and with raven tresses adorned with scarlet flowers. Their arms are strong and they guide the boat skillfully through the narrow waterways which form the thorough fares of this river town. The floating tea saloons found here are very pretty. If it be evening, gay-colored lanterns light up the painting and gliding, and through the silk-curtained windows and doors float strains of music. Go inside. and gayly dressed Chinese damsel will serve you with cup of delicious tea and silver pipe or hookah.
 The boats of the small merchants are anchored with their bows to the street. Here the wares are displayed for sale, while in the stern are the private apart ments of the family.
