It would look very much like the graft

kotaian to originate anything like the
following, but it can, with perfect impu-
nifty, quote the same from the editorial
columns of the Sioux City Journal:
The capital whirl which struck Bismarck was
very much like . Cyclone. It WAS Of abort du-

boom in real estate has subsided, and number

afford to buy and put up good buildings with

then promptly unloaded are happy, but all
others caught in the deal are sorrowful. The
suddenly inflated prices have collapsed like a
town with men who feel sick at heart. The

A telegraphic item dated at Mandan
says the first effort of the people of Bis
marok to raise the 100000 promised in
payment for the location was failure.
The heavy men Of Bismarck were pres
ent and after their contributions were
all in, the total was only $4,000. The
question now is, who will furnish the re-
naming $4,000? Bismarck is rich in
prairie dirt. but poor III actual legal ten

put up the bonus, but the boom has sud-
denly become. parslyzed and town lots
are drug on the market. In addition
to the 100000 promised and not
paid. Bismarck has agreed to
turn in for capital purposes 100000
from the sales of land. OF the 100000
due, beggarly $4,000 has been raised.
Thus the original farce has been rendered
more complete by the non.fulillment of
q pledge made to the gullible capital
commission. The commission has per.
formed its work and cannot undo it,
Their way out of the dilemma is to put
up $4,000 building and call it $780,
600 building. This they can do, as they
are the sole Judges and they have no
consciences to stand in the way. The
specifications call for brick building
and twenty thousand dollars worth of
that gross material would make an i'm.
posing pile.

THE GREAT CAPTAIN.
Another Account OF the Day.
ByJ. f. Je0ers, Of Florence, S. c.

BY j. f. JeDtJS, Of Florence, S. c.
In the account of Lees Surrender"
by Gen. Sheridan, published in the
Weekly Ne,rs of June 81, the following
allusion is made to Gary's Brigade !:
"While Generals Gordon aud Wilcox
were engaged in conversation with me a
cloud of dust, wild hurrah, flashing
of sabres indicated a charge, aud the
CALCULATIONS of my staff officers were
heard: Look, Merritt has ordered a
charge. The flight of Gary's Brigade
followed. Lieut.. Allen was thus re-.
leased. The last gun had been fired and
the last charge made in the Virginia
campaign"
Tie few troops with Gen. Gary at the
time were composed mostly of the Rut-
ledge Mounted RiHemen. part of the
Seventh South Carolina Cavalry. When
Lieut.. Allen came up we were facing the
enemy, not one hundred yards from our
frs: position. A piece of artillery was
stationed here, which 1 understood was
on the eve of being discharged, when a
Confederate officer informed Gen. Gary
OF the truce. Lieut.. Allen then rode
forward to the Federal line, I'D we went
into camp as prisoners of war. Some OF
the men foolishly threw away their arms,
declaring they would not surrender them
which drew from Sergeant w. K. S., OF
your city, remark worthy of record.
He said: Il intend to keep my gun and
deliver it to the enemy, for want them
to know that have gun and have lost
no opportunity of using it."
Some time ago there was discussion
as tc ~ho fred the last gun at Appomat.
tox. Gen. Sheridan confirms the belief
that the above incident closed the hos
tilities on that memorable day.

FIGHTING CUsTER's DIVISION.

FIGHTING CUSTER'S DIVISION.
Our right and left fanks being pro.
tected by the hills, we repulsed three at
tacks, but the enemy greatly outnumber-
ed us, our f1anks were turned, and when
nearly surrounded Gary told US to get
out the BEST way we could and form on
the road crossing the hill. Night had
fallen, and, though bright moonlight, it
was impossible to distinguish friend from
foe, so dense was the smoke in the thick
timber land. Under these circumstances
a large part of the Brigade was captured.
Those who reached the road found it
blockaded with wagon and artillery
horses, which had been cut loose and
stampeded. On they came, some with
but most without riders, in the widest
confusion. No formation could be made,
so, 'joining the procession" we passed
the village, and upon reaching the open
ground beyond organized a skirmish line
and charged back upon the cavalry,
which had followed the stampeded ami
| mails. Lieut.. Col. A. J. Root, of the
Fifteenth New York Cavalry, was killed
and every man who composed the ad-
vance of the enemy's column was either
killed or captured. Our pickeis were

the cavalry was withdrawn. Such o!
the Brigade as could be found huddled
together and fell asleep on the bare
ground, hungry and exhausted, only tc
awake on the saddest day in the recollec'
ton of Lees soldiers.
April 9th dawned cold and chilly. A
heavy mist like funeral pail hung over
hill and valley. at an early hour Gary
rode up and ordered the men to follow
him. From the top of the hill long
dark line could be family discerned
