ION of the statue. Mrs. Custer was
greatly pleased by TIE spontaneous
nature of the undertaking. In order
that the statue might be true like
ness of her husband, she prepared to
place his photographs, as well as his
uniform and arms IN the hands of the
artist, and to give him such informs-
ton as would aid him in his work
In the mean time ]. w. Macdonald
sculptor of this city, made q model
of the proposed statue, without con-
sulting Mrs. Custer or obtaining from
her the materials which she hal pre-
pared for the execution of the work
The fund that had beer raised was
placed at his disposal, and he COM
pleted the statue. Mrs. Custer. it ap
pears, knew nothing of all this until
the monument was ready TO be un-
yelled, and she received an invitation
to be present at the ceremony. Her
qualification at the speedy consumma-
ton of the work was quickly changed
to disgust and Indignation when She
saw a cut of the statue. 1t represent
ed her husband IN a long tailed coat
and troopers boots, with sword in one
hand and revolver IN the other, sug-
costing by his attitude and general
appearance a dime-novel hero engag-
ed in his fayorite amusement of
slaughtering redskins. The real,
characteristics of the dashing General
it is said, had been entirely missed or
ignored.
Mrs Custer endeavered to prevent
the erection of the statue, but in vain.
After it had been unveiled some of
Clusters brother officers wrote to her
protesting against the work as an in
suit to her husbands memory. This
strengthened her resolution not to let
it stand, and she appealed to Secretary
Lincoln. Believing that she had ac-
comelished her object, she went to
Europe, but on her return found the
offensive statute still standing on the
West Point bluff. Not dlsheartened
by the assurance of some of her
friends that it was much harder to
get rid of statute than to have one
erected, she renewed her application
to the secretary of war. Be told her
the statute would be taken down if she
obtained the consent of the chief sub
scribers. This she did, and the statue
has been pulled from its pedestal.

rubbish in a storage building at West
