Mrs. General Custer.
TDeAroit 'To11rua1

Upon being asked her opinion Of Mulvaney's
"Custer's Last Rally" she said she had never
been able to view it sufficiently to give an
opinion; that she attempted twice in Chicago
to see it, but the first glance revealed such q
realistic scene that everything at once became
blurred before her eyes, and she left the room
in the black blank of a swoon. She regretted,
for Mr.. Mulvaneys sake, that she could not
judge of the portrait of her husband, and of
the picture in general, but from the fact that
the artist painted the generals picture from
sittings some years since in Washington. and
from her knowledge oe his excellence as
an artist, she felt sure it must be a commend
able work. His conscientious work on the
frontiers in gaining information and painting
from life would, together with his strong
artistic ability, necessarily result in fine
achievement. Mrs. Custer feels that she will
never be able to look upon the painting. The
shock to her delicate organization is too great.
and it is not to be wondered at, for the scene
is awfully real. The lady is in delicate health
and is at present resting from her arduous
labors that she has so devoted herself to for
several years past in New York for the bene-
fit of women, and has chosen her sisters
home on High street west, in Detroit, Cor q
quiet and pleasant season of freedom from
care, after which she will resume her lahors
with the tender fondness that characterizes
ner WOruanly nature

THE SORT OF TRAINING
Needed to Prepare Our Boys for the
Awful Doom OF College.

hllIWauR6e IoellUlnel.
There is urgent need Of a Spartan training
to-Gay for our youth. Our boys are too deli
cately reared to withstand the severity of
college hazings. A modern mother brings
up her boy as she brings up her girl-dress-
ing him in dainty laces, coddling him through
the early trials carrying him through the
little tooth-cuttings and COLES of childhood
with sympathetic tears. And at the college
age she sends him forth frail flower, the
easy victim of the young fiends who have
been hardened by year OF more in our no.
BILE institutions of learning. AT the college
he is made to stand on his head for an hour.
to run naked through the frosty air, to sleeu
without bed or bedding and without the ac-
customed night dress, in a cold room. to
breathe an atmosphere of bad cigar smoke
to'submit to a course of lashings, and Der.
haps to die of a pneumonia OF brain fever
from the exposure.
We have preparatory schools-academies
where Greek and Latin and other essentials
to collegiate admission are taught-but it is
manifest that the preparatory schools might
be made more useful There should be in
struction in the art of self defense The bow
preparing for the awful doom of college life
should be taught how to knock out his tor
mentors in one round; there should be
chair Of clubbing, to instruct the college.
ward youth how to kill half dozen hazers at
single blow; he should be taught to use the
bowie-knife, the revolver and all other
weapons necessary to protection against the
onslaughts of young college fiends It is
little short of murder to send gentle boy to
an eastern college, to West Point or to the
Naval academy. During this first term he is
subjected to a system Of persecution calcula-
ted to kill him OF ruin his constitution. By
the next term he is himself vicious savage.

IAustin Anderson-From the French.1
You say, 'sOf all in plain or grove
She is the pearl of beauty" True,
But when you add, "a blonde, by Jover"
You tell a lie, you know you do.
So black her locks that ebony
By contrast showeth almost white.
Beneath each jetty lash, ali, me!
How darker are her eyes than night.
So red at times her blood doth run
To fire it turns her spirit too;
Dare you pretend, behold a num-"
You tell lie, you know you do.
A lightning flash, a cyclone she,
So sudden-swift she terrifies;
A colt from whip and harness free.
Whom spur tames not, nor halter ties.
t'Touch but her lips" you say, 'swith wine.
And who is more enchanting, whoa
Save that then Circe's self is swine!'
You tell lie, you know you do.
Her soul through all her supple curves
In hayward tide doth come and go:
Through whitest teeth her laughter serves
As mnsic to its pebbly flow.
To each extreme she turns we see
To grief, to joy, to wrath, to rue,
But when you swear, "She turns to me,n
You tell lie, you know you do!

Gold by the Chunk.
1Amador Dispatch.


One of the richest strikes known to the
mining history of California was made at
the Neville, or Mammoth mine, about three
miles south of this place, laCely. A pocket of
quartz of almost unparalleled richness was
found less than one hundred feet from the
surface. in which was contained from $751;,
900 to 100000 and being about two tons in
quantity. Much of this might justly be
termed huge chunks OF gold, instead of gold
bearing quartz. Some OF the immense pieces
of almost solid gold were about as heavy as a
man could easily lift from the ground. The
largest piece was of oval shape, sixteen by
twenty-five inches, and six or seven inches
thick. This gold is almost black, and of the
same character as the former rich strikes
found in the mine, and which have hereto
fore attracted the interest and attention of
all parts of the United States. We have nc
doubt that this is the richest find of gold OF
this kind ever known in the United States at
one single time.

German Carp in the United States.
Scientific American
In paper read before the American asso-
citation. Mr. c. ". Smiley, of Washington,
D. c., said he had some years ago imported
FROM Germany thirty or forty pairs of this
fish. They were placed in breeding ponds in
Washington, and have increased many fol1
the number spawned this year being 10000.
The carp is naturally a warm water fish, and
in the waters of the southern states grows
with astonishing rapidity, and to great size
They will also do well in the cold waters Of
the north, even in Minnesota. Nearly every
state and county in the United States has a
fish commission, and they are all propagating
carp. It has also been taken up as a private
speculation, and carp are sold for breeding
purposes as high as IS per pair.
