The recent publication by Mrs. Gen
Custer of her experiences on the from
tier with her husband will make all the
more interesting the following letter
written q month before her husband $
death i'll which she expresses her pre-
sentiments of impending disaster. The
letter is to Mrs. Chanfrau, and begins
with a return of thanks for the presen-
tatiOn by Mrs Chanfrau of an Eureka
coffee pot for camp use, which Gen.
Sheridan had kindly forwarded to the
Clusters by a government train.
The close of the letter, which is dated
on May 81, 1876, and signed Lille Ba-
con-Custer, is as follows: II am living
in hourly dread Of the inevitable
separation from Gen. Custer. He is to
take his regiment into the field this
summer, and expects to meet all the
warlike Indians of the north. | look
with dread on the growth of every blade
of grass, as they are only waiting now
for it to 10 high enough to Craze the

fer from the separation from your huS
band. In less than u month from tho
date of this letter Gen. Custer, his two
brothers and two other relatives Wern

New fashioned gallows may not al
ways work as well as might be desired
by fastidiOus murderer, but al; the'
horrors of moiern drops which do not
work and officious sheriffs who do, are
not as bad as the cool, calculating
method in which they used to put q
man out Of this world in the good old
times of 100 years ago. Somewhere
near the middle of the last century the
writer of diary to whose pages | have
had access went on "A pleasure trip to
Sprin 5iield, in Massachusetts,, where, to
cheer his somewhat melancholy spirits,
he was invited to attend hanging.
To the execution he went, and, ] should
imagine by the naive remarks in his
diary, he was much edited and con
soled by the spc tacle.
The condemned man was led from his
cell at If O'Clock IN the morning and
taken To the place of execution, where
he was met by most distinguished
company, everybody of Importance in
the colony. with a mighty rabble, being
present to give him well-attended
exit into the unknown. Religious serv-
ices of a prOtracted nature were IN
dulged in the poor wretch on the gal
lows being sub iectcd 10 a reading OF
various cheerful legal documents and
long prayers and sermons by ye lead
ing ministers OF yc place and many
soulful catecbjsms vt II O'Clock he
was brought out, at ; he was swung off,
and. as the diarist remarks, we muir
derer seemed greatly affected by We
prayers and qncStioningS and speeches
