ceiyed this terrible intelligence quietly, declined to
take ether, s'pulatng merely to hold her husbands
hand during the operation, and underwent the
painful process without moving muscle or Ut ter

BY Universal Accord,

AYERS CATIIARTic PILLS are the best
of all purgativcs for family use. They
are the product of long, laborious, and
successful chemical investigation, and
their extensive use, by physicians in
their practice, and by all civilized ma
tions, proves them the best and most
etiectual purgative Pill that medical
science can devise. Being purely veg
etable no harm can arise from their
use, and being sugar-coatcd, they are
pleasant to taRc. In intrinsic value
and curative powers no other Pills
can be compared with them; and every
person, knowing their virtues, will
employ them, when needed. They
keep the system in perfect order, and
maintain in healthy action the whole
machinery of life. Mild, searching and
efectual, they are especially adapted
to the needs of the digestive apparatus,
arrangements of which they prevent
and cure, if timely taken They are
the best and safest physic to employ
for children and weakened consttu-
lions, where mild but ehectual
cathartic Is required.

Concerning Gu ster.

BUFFALO BILLS STATEMENT OF THE
MANNER OF CUSTER'S DEATH.
William F. Cody. better known as
buffalo Bill" believes that General
Custer killed himself, when he saw
that death was inevitable, in prefer
ence to being killed by the Indians.
He gives the following reason for this
belief: 1.-The Indians will not mutt
late body which they find dead, and
General Clusters was the only one that
was not scalped and otherwise cut to
pieces or burned. My impression is
that he, after seeing all his command
shot do wn. and that he himself must
also go, turned and took his own life
rather than be killed by the savages.
/ was i'm General Crooks command
that soon after arrived upon the scene,
and although Custer went into the
fight with seven companies, and had
800 men killed, am satisfied he never
would have given the Indians battle
had he not thought reinforcements
were near at hand. Some time after
the engagement, an Indian warrior
told me that Custer was the last man
to fall, and killed himself. Had Custer
been given the entire command of the
troops he would have whipped the In
dians,instead of being crushed by them.
They did not recognize Custer after he
was shot, as he had few months pre-
viOus cut Off his long hair"

ImpOrta mt Pension Decision.

IT'S EFFECT UPON THE WIDOWS AND
CHILDREN OF SOLDIERS IN THE
LATE WAR.
A Washington dispatch says: In
the case of the application for pension
of the widow and children of private
Beverly Dangerfield, alleged to have
been killed in the war of the rebellion,
the commissioner of pensions rejected
the application on the ground that the
record failed to show, and the applicant
was unable to prove the fact, date or
cause of the soldiers death. The roll
of the company to which the soldier
belonged showed that he was wounded
in action on October 9th, 1861, and
sent to the hospital, and was not again
with the company, which continued
in service until the twenty-ninth of
September 1866. An appeal was taken
from this decision to the secretary of
the interior. Acting Secretary Joslyn
has just delivered an opinion reversing
the decision and directing the issuance
of a pension to Dangerfield's heirs.
This opinion, which will be of inter-
est to a large class of applicants for
pensions, reviews all the circumstances
of the case and says: Referring to
the case cited in your report, in which
it was held by the secretary of the in
terror that the death ofa soldier caunot
be presumed, but must be proven, to
entitle his widow to pension, have to
state that cases arise in which it. is
impossible to obtain positive proof ofthe
soldiers death, but the presumption of
his death from causes connected with
his service is so strong as to justify
the allowance of a claim for pension
made on behalf of his widow, children
or dependent relatives. When a sol
dier is reported "missing in action"
under circumstances which lead to the
belief that he was killed in the battle
a claim for pension on his account may
properly be allowed. When soldier
was captured by the enemy and all the
circumstance of the case led to the be-
liefthat he died from disease contracted
while in captivity, it would be proper
in the execution of the pension law to
act upon the presumption of his death.
The presumption of common
law, that person who had been
absent and not heard from for seven
years is dead, may properly be accepted
under the pension law; and if when
last heard from, a soldier was suffering
from serious disease contracted or in
jured in the line of duty, it may be pre-
sumed that his death occurred from
such cause If there is nothing in the
circumstances of the case to rebut such
presumption.
