Everybody knows the circumstances Of Custer pro-

OF course, II created jealousy and there no end
u intriguing against the brave young ofiicer, who
would have been greatly admired but for his rapid
advance even by those who now In their Jealousy
could see no better course than oppose him. Custer
was not blind man, and keenly felt the Jealous ppO
sitOn brought 10 bear against him. one night
number OF Officers were visiting at Custer camp and
passing a pleasant evening, While the festivities
were at tbcl1height aud every enjoying him

Custer. Tho General opened aud read n. II was
an order relieving him from command Of
his brigade; that was all-theTe being no
explanation Of what wac to be done with
him. Without word Custer went 10 his best
horse, bridled him with his Own hands, mounted aud
was away like the wind 10 the aelds-his long hair
floating behind him his horse took fences and bitches
In his masters fayorlte accomplishment. For some
time he was engaged IN the mad ride over fields aud
streams, when another orderly rode up 10 where the
other officers sat looking at and admitting the distant
rider and asked for Gen, Custer. There he Is,
over In yonder hed, said an aide, pointing 10 tho
man and horse thsn taking flying leap. Away rode
the orderly, and, huay OyeItaking the General, we
saw him take paper from his pocket. Slowly Custer
read 1t, aud then up went his hat and down no came
at a mad Tuu, WhOOping IKE wild Indian, directly
toward the camp. When lie reached there he threw
the paper 10 an aide aud In a low voice he said set
