The Widow of General Custer.

New York Correspondence Philadelphia Press.
Mrs Custer has now been eight years q
widow, and during the most of these years she
supported herself by acting as secretary to the
Society of Decorative Art. Her pension then
from the government was only $50 a month;
but such TODD was raised by the papers and
public about this niggardy way of dealing with
brave officers widow, that short time ago
her pension was doubled. So now she is en-
abled by close economy to live without work
ing, aud this she does in a most charming
way She has a little fat in house in East
Eighteenth street, and a prettier or more
attractive apartment it would be hard to
find. Hsstheticism and comfort in furnish
ing are admirably combined, and in this
pretty little place Mrs. Custer dispenses
the most gracious hospitality. She has no end
of friends both in New York and scattered
throughout the country. and the latter never
come to town that they do not run in to see
Libby" for she is exceedingly popular, as q
women with her manner could not we'll fail to
be- In speaking of her circumstances to me the
other day, Mrs. Custer said that heI poverty
seemed to distress her friends good deal more
than it did her, and that they made up any de-
ficieney in her income by their practical alton
tons; that she had more invitations to spend
weeks at time here and there, and to 20 on
long excursions anywhere from Mexico to Eng
land, than she could possibly accept NV
friends are kindness ITSELF }" she said ssand seem
to feel that am their special care" She is so
modest that she does not for moment consider
that her pleasant companionship is thing to bo
particularly desired.

Seventy-Five Years of Useful labor With

Yes 1 certainly have seen many conflicting
paragraphs in your paper respecting my a.
tered circumstances, and have small fault
to find with the generous motives which
they, for the most part, display, albeit some
are too evidently hostile, and, as usual, there
are exaggerations on the side of both poverty
and riches The simple truth (which with per-
feet propriety, you ask for, and with plain cam
abundance of riches, though | have always lived
honestly and literally, and for the matter of act
ual poverty | undoubtedly decline to plead it,
while everybod else is suffering from the hard
ness of the times. However, it is true that have
lost fortune, and am vexed by debt incurred not
by my own fault, though do not care to accuse
others specifically. Of course, / have to COM
plain that life of some useful labor has come
to seventy five years without adequate reward,

after.

by looking at the objects IN the museum and
then going out to contemplate the roohess houses
of Pompeii.
Somehow, when l walked the ghostly streets
of the dsinterred city, the detail that brought
back most wildly to me the bygone vitality of
the place was the deep ruts worn in the
pavemeuts by the passage of vehicles.
Other things are changed moro or less, but
these are unchanged They speak eloquently OF
the busy bustling life that once thronged these
silent thoroughfares, now abandoned to the
tourist and the ghost The houses are shattered
and roohess, the paintings on the walls are
faded, the mosaic pavements defaced and broken,
the statues and gems and ornaments and bronzes
are gone. Even Vesuyius itself frowns above
the scene with changed aspect But these in
dentations remain fresh as the day on which the
last chariot that ever traversed the streets lent
the force of it's wheels to DEEPEN them.

Lucy Hooper's Letter.
There is really only one point of interest in
Naples itself, and that is the splendid museum.
rich in the spoils from Pompcii and Hercu-
laneum. One of the most superb OF the later
discoveries is a massive gold lamp from the
former city. Some of the paintings also that
have been recently unearthed glow with q
wonderful freshness and beauty of col.
oring. / am told that French artist,
many years ago, contrived to purchase sur
repttiously pot of crimson paint from the
workmen engaged in the excavations He used
It afterwards in his own work, pronouncing it to
be superior in many respects to modern pig
nents of the same nature. Indeed, one might
to-day make use Of any Of the articles found in
that luckless city, buried eighteen centuries ago
We could not, indeed, eat the bread that was
'ound in such quantities in the bakers shops

With the ivory hair-pins, of her Pom

Nine times out of ten the serious man gets
himself into trouble when he drifts into humor
In his address to the Georgians on Georgia day
at the New Orleans exposition, Mr.. Pitkin, in a
spirit of hearty good humor, spoke of John
Wesley as 'sjilt' and said that he treated a
Savannah girl very badly This speech drew
out letter from Mr. B. Carradine Then fol-
lowed caustic justification from Mr.. Pitkin,
and rejoinder from Mr.. Cerradine These two
gentlemen are rasaneking history for the details
of Mr.. Wesleys Savannah love affair Mr.
Pitkin produces an array of authorities to prove
that the great preacher Tilted his sweetheart
and Mr.. Carradine quotes other authorities to
show that no engagement existed; that
it was an ordinary courtship, and that
the lover changed his mind before matters be-
came serious 1t is funny incident to grow ont

Hunting fish before his eyes,

heard Bob say:
''Ob, you poor little thing
He was pulling apart tangle OF bushes under
which, looking up at Thorn with wistful eyes and
pitiful little sobs, was pretty boy two or three
years old.
In great excitement Rob raised him in his
arm, greatly touched at seeing how the little fell

of, and he seemed badly scratched and bruised
Brought here by the Storm said Bob
Whose can ne be, and how can we find his par
entssH
They gave him something to eat, pleased at
seeing how eagerly he drank some milk mother
had put into bottle for their lunch. And then
he sank contentedly to sleep on Jacks arm
while Rob tried his best to get free from the OBJ
structions which surrounded him; and at last, as
twilight was falling, made his way to what was
left OF the pretty village he had visited the
previous summer.
What sad scene of devastation it was! Very
few houses were Left standing, and few OF the
people We're wandering aimiessly about.
I'VE must find Cousin Annie, said Rob- 'She
can take care of this poor little chap till we ind
his mother"
"She's over there" said man. pointing to a
house, in answer to their inquiries. but she's
in dreadful trouble
mo wonder" said Jack, when her pretty
house is all blown away"
"Yes, but she's lost her baby, too"
Dear me. Poor little Archie deadm Rob felt
quite overcome with the sorrow all around him
as he went over to find his cousin. Hold the
boy, Jack, while go and speak to her.
She was seated in shaded room. Rob went
and gently spoke to her.
''Oh, my dear boy! The hand Of the Lord is
heavy upon u.s." She began to tell him how
her husband was out with others, searching for
some who had been lost.
Meantime Jack had come near the window of
the room, rather tired of holding the restless
little boy, who, at the sound of voices within,
had struggled to get away from him. and at
length, with loud cry of "Mamma-mammap
was toddling towards the door Cousin Annie
sprang from her seat. and in a moment the poor
little storm waif was in her arms.
"Is he yours~ cried Rob and Jack.
"And you didn't know hint" said Cousin An
ME, laughing and crying all at once. sOf course
you didnt-he is so changed since last summer. J"
The two went home with the boys the next
day to stay until some kind of house could be
got ready for them As they passed the broken
bridge Jack said
Cousin Annie if that bridge hadn't been gone
we shouldn't have gone round where we found
Archie, and he might have been there yet"
And Cousin Annie. hugging the darling close,
thought she had plenty to be thankful for, al
though all they had had been swept away By the

Deserved Rehuke.

One day. during the American Revolution an
officer, not dressed in uniform, was passing on
horseback by some military works that were being
prepared by small squad of soldiers, and he
found the leader of the party merely standing
by ana looking on at the operations
which were being carried on with
difficulty, owing to the small number of men.
The officer seeing the state of affairs, and
that assistance was much needed, inquired Of
the man why he did not render a little aid in
stead of only standing idle. The latter, in great
astonishment, turned around, it is said, with
all the pomp of an emperor" and replied: .'Sir,
officer; / did not know that" and raising his
hat in solemn mockery, he continued, 81
ask your pardon, Mr. Corporal" He dis
mounted from his horse, threw off his coat and
not until he was tired out with sheer hard work
did the stranger cease to render his assistance
to the squad; and then, turning round to the
corporal, he said, "Mr. Corporal, when you have
not men enough, send for George Washington,
and will come and help you second time. I"
And, to the utter amazament Of the poor
corporal he found that the unknown officer who
had addressed him was indeed no other than his
own commander in chief,
