The Custer Massacre.

An army officer who has been investigating
the subject ever since the massacre of Custer
and his men, expressed the opinion recently
that Sitting Bull was not present at the Gus
ter massacre, notwithstanding his statements
to the contrary. He says he has ascertained
that Sitting Bull has two twin boys. One Of
them was christen "rhe Boy that was
Taken" and the other The Bow that was
Left" He says that Sitting Bull and Mrs.
Bull were in such hurry to run away that
they left one of the twins. The infant was
in the thickest part Of the fight, and escaped
injury of any kind by crawling under the
roots of tree. This was "The Bow that
was Lett" After the massacre Mrs Sitting
Bull went to the scene ami found the child.
This officer says Sitting Bull is n mean kind
of an Indian and is not entitled to the fame
that he received Spotted Tail was the best
Indian and the bravest fighter. Red Cloud
came next and Chief Joseph next. Sitting
Bull he places last in the list.

Ventilation.
It's EFFECT UPON THE APPETITE.

Some curious experiments have been re-
Gently made in England in the matter of ven
tilaion and its influence upon appetite. Ia
a weaving mill near Manchester according
to an English exchange where the ventila-
ton was bad, the proprietor caused tan to
be mounted. The consequence soon became
apparent 10 a curious manner. The opera
tives. little remarkable for olfactory refine
ment, instead Of thanking their employer for
hi, attention to their comfort and health,
made formal complaint that the ventlator
had increased their appetites, and therefore
entitled them to c0rresp ,nding increase of
wages BY stopping the fan part of the
dav, the ventilation and voracitv OF the estab-
llshment were brought TO medium standard.
and the complaints ceased. The operatives
wages would just support them; any add-
tiOnsl demand by their stOmachs could only
be answered by drsughts upon their backs.
which were by no means in condition to
answer them. The same paper says that in
Edinburgh a club was provided with a dinner
in a well-ventilated apartment, the air being
perfumed rs it entered, initiating in success
sion the fragrance of the lavender and the
orange flower. During the dinner the mem
bers enjoyed themselves as usual, but were
not a little surprised at the announcement of
the provider that they had drunk three times
az much wine as he had usually provided.
Elderly gentlemen of sober. quiet habits.

half bottle others who took half a bottle

a half. In fact, the hotelkeeper's supply
was drunk dry. That gentlemen who in
dulged in this manner were not aware of it at
the time is not wonderful; but that they felt
no unpleasant sensations the following morn
ing-which they did not-is certainly curious.

Imported contract labor Is not necessa-
rily cheap labor in the long run. as they
are finding on, now in Cleveland. Ohio.
The Poles and Bohemisns who were i'm
ported three years ago to take the place of
the striking American workmen at a low
err rate of wages than the latter were will
ling to accept. are the most aggressive
and dangerous element in the present
strike in that city. There can be no
more short sighted policy than the one,
happily now forbidden. of importing
cheap laborers. The new men soon
learn the value of their labor. and their
employers lose the little advantage OF
cheaper labor and have TO contend, in
addition. with denser ignorance and
more dangerous tendencies than ever
could be charged against the native oil
naturalized Americans originally dis
placed.

Queen Victoria seems determined to
make her approval of Sir Peter Lumsden's
course on the Afghan frontier as emphatic
as the Cars Endorsement of General
komaro". and while some few Liberals
may be offended by this. the English peo-
pie will certainly applaud it heartily. For
IL il runs counter to the views of Mr..
Gladstone. it must be said that the views
of the late Premier on that question equal
ly run counter to British public opinion.
There can in short be no doubt that in be-
slowing honors upon Sir Peter Lumsden
the Queen is expressing the wishes of her
people much more faithfully than Mr..
Gladstsne would have done in snubting
