In recent letter from Mrs. E. Is.
Custer, she says; 81 do want the
boys of this day 10 know Gen. Custer
Boys all love Indian stories, in fact
anything that savors of peril and Of
dangers fill their heart with yearings
but boys, while from the lives OF
Generals like Custer, Lee or Jackson,
you may learn "of hair breath scrapes
j. th' imminent deadly BREACH" that
may make your hearts beat and your
cheeks glow in sympathy, yet from
their lives too you may learn lessons
not of war, or of military tactics, but
of kindness TO man and kindness to
beasts. We all know how Stonewall
loved old SorreI; and the writer has
seen The white haired Lee stoOp to pet
a toddling child and in his gentle tone
to say to it kind word. Custer was
as gentle and tender as he was daring
and brave. After long march, no
matter how weary, he never sought
his own rest until the dogs that were
his constant companions,were fell and
watored, when they would lie down
near their kind master and sleep, no
doubt with sone eye open, ready to
move when he moved, whether to the
foe or to the home in the fort, while
the dear ones waited so anXiousIy.

chapel royal. The bride and BRIDE
groom were conducted separate
ly to the chapel, preceded by their
parents, the ladies in waiting, and the
members of the household, along the pal

spectators, who were kept back by the
Halberdlers. The queen regent was in
deep mourning. She had scarcely recov
cred from her neuralgia attacks,
and looked sad as she sat under
dais to the right of the altar. Near her
were Queen Isabella, the Infanta Isabella,
the Due de Montpensier, and the Due de

Rulalia looked very pretty. She wore a
costly satin dress, trimmed with lace,
