H BLOODY BATTLEFIELD.
Gibbon crossed Lieut.. Bradley over
to the south while we went into the
hills and around the bend north of the
stream. Soon we came upon an enor-
nous Indian camp on the north bank,
Just abandoned, and while we were
marching through it Bradley sent word
across the river that he had come upon
the dead bodies of eighty soldiers lying
IN u ravine. Ina little while another
messenger brought word Custer was
lying over on the hillside dead and his
officers and men dead around him. It
was O terrible shock; we of course knew
that some terrible disaster had happen
ed, but still we hoped it was not SO bad
as the Indians had reported. We ex.
pected that Custer had met with o de.
feat, but I think hardly a man in the
command believed he had been wiped
out, such q thing being deemed impos-
sible.

VOTING.
How the System OF Reciprocity Works
Simon Chmeron's Principles,

Simon Cameron's Principles.
Washington Letter to Augusta Chronicle.
Years ago when Senator Matt Ransom.
who is one of the brightest of men was
a novice in the upper house of congress,
the veteran Simon Cameron of Pennsyl-
vanla took a fancy to him, and, as is the
custom of the elder brethren, persuaded
him to vote on his Pennsylvania line.
Once, in open senate, Mr.. Cameron
handsomely complimented the North
Carolinian and promised to reciprocate
his kindness. Now, the Camerons
never forget a favor and always repay
obligations. This was notably illus
trated when ason of Simon paid the po-
litical debt os his father to Gen. M. G.
Butler. It happened that Senator Ran
som had a bill of some kind up and
that n vote might defeat it. He rec
objected the promise Simon Cameron
had made and looked around
the chamber to remind him
OF it. He was not in his seat and could
not be found in the cloak rooms. Ran
som ran down to the old gentfeman's
committee room and pushed it in. The
Pennsylvania senator was there sur
rounded by a crowd Of constituents, all
OF whom were making merry with I'M
lirsited champagne. The old politician
did not relish the sudden invasion of
his castle and his face was a thunder
cloud. Affecting not to notice this,
Ransom gasped out: "Senator Gamer
on. you promised to vote with me when
L asked you to do so. The time has
come. ! am in a tight squeeze and YOU
must come to the chamber and help me
out" The old gentleman rose in high
dudgeon, but went forth to perform his
promise. He then returned to the
friends he had rather unceremoniously
left. About ten minutes afterwards,
who should pop in again but Matt Ran
som. Walking up to the astounded
Cameron he said: Senator, T have
come to ask you another favor" The
Pennsylvania ~glowcred at his North
Carolina colleague and said with some
asperity. "The deuce you
have! I don't know that 1
shall grant it, sir" Ransom
ASIdiCN, SLLiLiiS. l. lullk VOn Will
when you hear me. These gentlemen
shall be judges and jury" Turning to
the assembled company he continued:
Gentlemen, for two wears past Senator
Cameron has voted me at least one hun
bred times in the interest of Pennsyl-
vania. | have got only one vote from
him for North Carolina and he is mad
about it. l ask you, gentlemen, if he
has any rightto be displeased with me ?"
The men thus appealed to Numbered
out that North Carolina was acquitted
Of all blame and that Pennsylvania must
be reconciled. Then turning to the old
senator, who began to understand and
enjoy the situation. Gen. Ransom add
ed: 'sThe favor 1 ask of you is an in
PRODUCTION to your friends and permits
sion to participate in your festivities !"
Old Simon beamed like one of the re-
cent sunsets, and taking Ransom by the
hand a~ffectionately, presented him to
his guests as my distinguished rebel
friend, etc" General hi]arity prevailed,
another basket of champagne was or
'dered and the North Carolina senator
became the lion of the hour.

Wooden Railway Ties.

Wooden ties for railways ere becom-
ing more expensive every year, and the
time is coming when possibly some sub
stitute will have to be devised for them.
The chief engineer of the Reading rail
road is about to try some experiments
with steel ties. They would be the
same in size and shape as the present
wooden ties, except that they would be
hollow; and they would practically last
until-they rusted away, while the best
oak ties last only about eight years.
Some Of the advantages claimed for the
steel ties are that the expense of main
tanning the track would be largely re-
duced, the road-bed would be firmer and
smoother, and trains could run ut much
higher speed over them. The wear and
tear on track and rolling stock would
also be lessened, because the track is
smoother. For these reasons trains
could run faster without increasing the
expense proportionately.

w AN ICEBERG.
Ono Of the Magnificent Sights of an ocea,
VOYAGE,

Ono Of the Magnificent Sights of an Ocean
From the New York Graphic.
At IL o'clock we went below, and had
just got through dinner when the cook
put his head down through the scuttle
and told us to come on deck and see the
finest sight we had ever seen. Where
away, cook?" asked the first man who
went up. con the larboard bow"
And there lay floating in the ocean,
several miles off, an immense, irregular
mass, its top and points covered with
snow, and its centera deep indigo color.
This was an iceberg, n of the largest
size, as one of our men said, who had
been in the Northern Ocean. As
far as the eye could reach the sea
in every direction was of a deep Blue
color, the raves running high and fresh
and sparkling in the light; and in the
midst lay this immense mountain island
its cavities and valleys thrown into deer
shade, and its points and p%innacles
glittering in the sun. All hands were
soon on deck looking at it, and admir-.
ing in various ways its beauty and grand
eur, but no description can give any
idea OF the strangeness, splendor and
real sublimity Of the sight. It's great
size, for it must have been from two to
three miles IN circumference and sever
al hundred feet in height; it's slow mo-
ton, as its base rose and sank in the
water, and it's high points nodded
against the clouds, the dashing of the
waves upon it, which, breaking high
with foam, covered its base with a white
crest; the laundering sound of the
mass, and the breaking and tnmbline
down of huge pieces, together with its
nearness OF approach, which added q
slight element of fear, all combined
to give it q character of true
sublimity. The main BODY of the
mass was, as I have said, of an indigo
color; its base was crustad with frozen
foam, and as it grew thin and transpar-
emit toward the edges and top, its color
shaded off from q deep blue to the
whiteness of snow. 1t seemed to be
drifting slowly toward the north, so
that we kept away and avoided it. 1t
was in sight all the afternoon; and, as
we got to leeward of it the wind died
away, SO that we lay to quite near it for
the greater part of the night. Unfor-
tunately, there was no moon, but it was
a clear night, and we could plainly
mark the long, regular heaving of the
%stupendons mass as its edges moved
slowly against the stars. Several times
in Il watch loud cracks ware heard,
which sounded as though they must
have u through the whole length Of
the iceberg, and several pieces fell down
With q laundering crash, plunging
heavily into the sea. Toward morning
o strong breeze sprang up, and at day.
light it wa out of sight.

Fashions In Dancing.

"There has been q great improvement
in the style of dancing in England dur
ing the last three or four years." says
the London Graphic. "The fashion of
mad gallops and waltzing which resem-
bles the charges of football players, has
temporarily gone out, and the valse a
trois temps has come back into favor.
Shall we ever see o resurrection of the
old minuet, which so perfectly conveyed
the poetry of motioE? It is arather GER
monious dance for these times, but q
little cultivation Of that courtliness of
demeanor which first gave rise to the
term "ball room manners" would per-
haps do some of our English youth no
harm, Beau Nash would have been
scandalized at the style in which many
of our young gentlemen bob their heads
instead Of bowling, and wedoubt wheth-
er the curtesys of our best-trainad
young ladies would muster before his
criticaleye. There is q cubbishness In
some youngsters which makes
them ashamed to be graceful in deport-
ment before ladies'. They are graceful
enough in their athletic sports, their
riding, rowing and cricket, for in these
pursuits grace is called "form;" but no
form has yet been set up as a standard
to be attained in ball rooms. So we
see young fellows who are very Apollos
with their ze2hyrs, on shrink up into
slonching figures when they put on
their dress-coats and shamble forward
with awkward gaits to ask a girl 70
dance just as if they were afraid of be-
ing laughed at. Yet we have never
heard of a really w~ell-mannered and
graceful dancer being laughed at even
by the most gawkish contemner of So
ciety pastimes. Perhaps if the fashion
OF slow dancing is kept up for o few
years longer it will lead naturally to a
revival of the grace which m from
carefully executed movements, and the
result will be seen in a greater polish of
manners outside the bathrooms as well
as in them"

Norwegian Wedding.

We had the good luck to witness q
very interesting ceremonial-namely,
a village wedding, when about fifty per.
sons assembled, all in holiday costume
the women in bright colored p~etticoats
and bodices, with beautiful white chin
isettes. They were q very pleasant
looking group-the men strong we'll
knit fellows, but all fair skinned, with
faxen hair and kind blue eyes. The
bride was a demure young woman,
somewhat W. weighted with necklaces
and bracelets (Which we understood to he
h%eirlooms) but more especially by an i'm
mense gilt crown running up i'll tall
points to a height of about eight inches,
and studded with many colored crystals.
1t is a most gorgeous head dress and
belongs to the village.
Every village is supposed to have one,
which is hired for the occasion bv the
parents of the bride. But like the plain
ribbon or suood of the Scottish High.
land maid, no Norwegian bride is emit
tied to wear this crown of honor unless
her character is above suspicion; and
this, unhappily, is so very exceptional
that the hiring of the crown is now CON
sidared almost invidions OH the part of
the few who may certainly claim it; sc
the custom is diving out, and we esteem
ed ourselves fortunate in having wit
messed a nuptial cermony in Which this
picturesque bridal decoration was worn.
There was no architectural beauty in
the very plain, barn-like church, which
had no pretence at decoration. The Luz
theran service, which of course, was
conducted in Norwegian, seemed to us
like that of the Scotch Presbyterian
Church. All the men sat on one side
and the women on the other, according
to the usual costom. The parson
(whose garb is q black gown, with a
very large white fntted collar, encir-
cling his throat like a Queen Eliza
beth ruff performed the simple service,
in which a weddIng.ringshaped Xix a
double heart, did duty in place of our
plain ~circlet. He then assembled the
pulpit and delivered o very long exhor-
%tatlon, which, being beyond our compre-
hension, was to us only suggestive OF
Longfellow's charming lines:
'Long was the good mans sermon,
Yet it seemed not long to me,
For he spake Of Ruth the beautiful,
And still I thought of thee"
There was one feature in tho cere-
mony which we noted with especial in
%terest, therein recognizing a lingering
trace of pre-Christian days. The pull.
pit stan . in the centre of the large
%chancel, and, at q pause in the service,
ali the wedding party walked solemnly
thrice round it, in side-wise procession

Mccullough and His Man "eob."


"That is Bob Prichard, better known
as McCullough's Bob He is the gov
ernors' dresser and has been with
him for thirteen years. Bob has a weak
ness for the ardent, and sometimes gets
a little too much on board, when the
governor will discharge him. But he is
always taken back, for he knows Mr..
McCullough's ways so we'll, is SO
thoroughly familiar with his wardrobe,
and is really such a valuable dresser
that his occasional shortcomings are for
given. An instance of his value was
shown last year,
You remember Mr.. Mccullough
played 'Ingomar' at the Boston theater to
Mary Anderson's 'Parthenia.' We'll, the
morning of the day on which the gov
ernor was to leave New York for the
Hub Bob turned up rather the worse
for wear; and the governor summarily
dismissed him; told him to go off and
never show his face again. Bob went
away and Immediately sought Billy
Conner, to whom he related his misfor-
tune. I'm fred for good now,' said he
with tears in his eyes. The governors
awful mad Bonner knew better, and
so he told Bob to go home and sleep
until afternoon and then come back and
see him.
I'm the meantime the governor had
started for Boston, without taking a bit
of wardrobe, aud was in a horrible stew
to know whathe should do. Miss An
derson, who was on the train, suggested
that the next day they could get up
early and go to some costumer's in Bos-
ton, and get something that would do.
This didn't please Mac much, for he is
not IN easy man to fit, you know, but
he thought that was the best thing that
could be done. He reached Boston in
an unenviable frame of mind, and
put up at the Trenton House"
"Where was Bob all this time?"
"Hold on and I'll tell you. Bob went
home and slept, and went to see Conner
in the afternoon all right. Conner told
him to get together everything the gov
ernor' would want in 'Ingomar,' and to
go to Boston on the night train, and go
to the governor at his hotel in the
morning as though nothing had hap
pened. Bob did so, and when the gov
n came down early the next morn
ing there was Bob sitting at the foot Of
the stairs. Hello, Bob,' said Mr.. Nc
Cullongh, have you got everything all
right for 'Ingomar ?"
Yes, SIR replied he, 'just as you
told me, sir
You ought to hear the governor
tell the story. When Isaw Bob sitting
there that morning. says he, 4 felt that

Young War Heroes.

AT the first battle of Bull Run John
Meigs, a son of General Meigs, and a
West Point cadet, seeing no generals
about, assumed and for some time d.
rected the movement of the troops, the
officers supposing he was IN aid-de-
camp, and that the orders came from
the generals. Seeing the enemy mass
ing in the wood to take Green's Battery,
Meigs ordered Colonel M%athewson to
move quickly with his regiment to the
support of the battery. The movement
was promptly executed by the First
California, and then two other regi-
ments were brought up, I think the
Thirty-frst and Thirty-second New
York. Later in the day the youthful
General, seeing the field was lost, said
to Colonel Mathewson; "You had
better fall back toward C%entreville."
"And by whose authority do you
give me such IN order as that" inquired
the colonel.
"Well, SIR" said young Meigs, "the
truth is for the last two hours I have
been unable to find any generals, and
have been commanding myself"
/ saw Meigs on the battle field, and
he was woudded through the knee, but
remained on duty, although in irritable
pain and faint from the loss of blood.
He was afterward killed by rebels in
the Shenandoah Valley.
In the first Iowa there was a little
mite of a drummer boy named Edward
or, as he was more commonly called,
Eddie Lee. At Wilson's Greek he had
both feet shot off by a cannon ball. A
wounded rebel, who was shot through
the bowels and lay near Eddie, had
taken off his ~snspenders, and maxi
ing of them ligatures, tied up Eddie's
stumps to stop the flow of blood. In the
night the rebel died and Eddie lay on the
field all nightbeside him. In the morn
ing, as soon as it was light, the First
Iowa were surprised to hear Eddie's
drum beating the ~reveille down il a ra-
vine. One of the men, following the
sound Of the drum, went to him and
found the little fellow seated on the
ground, vigorously beating away, his
drum fastened to a bush by his side.
Good morning, corporal" he said;
ooh, get me some water, am SO thirsty"
The corporal got the water, and while
he was giving the boy q drink, the enemy
came up and captured them both. A
rebel horseman took Eddie up tenderly
before him and carried him to the rebel
camp, where his stumps were amputated
and the wounds carefully dressed, but
he died in a few hours after the operation
was performed. Eddie Lees father had
been killed by rebels, and he was the
son of a poor East Tennessee woman.
He went into the army to try and carr
q living for his mother .-James S. Bris-
