"The bodies of General Custer
and his staff we found on knoll

and at the highest point. Nearly
every body was mutilated, cut IN
different ways by the Indians, and

General Clusters and that OF a

only ones untouched. We brought
lust one horse out alive. OF course
we could not bury them, but we
put earth over them and marked
General Clusters grave as best we

my opinion the trouble was in di-

Girls With Tinted Ears.

MISS BAILEY'S TRANCE.

Haverhill Mass Special Miss
Melinda Bailey, a young unmarried
lady. has for some time resided in
the family of Ralph Sargent, at
Merrimac. She has been very ill
recently from nervous prostratlon
brought on by nursing her mother
through a long and fatal illness.
Recently she grew rapidly worse.
A clergyman was sent for, with
whom she ccnversed for some
time, apparently perfectly con-
scious of her critical condition and
fully prepared to pass to the great
beyond. Soon after the clergyman
took his departure she grew rapidly
weaker, and at last lay peacefully
back on her bed and to all appear
ance seemed to be dead. AS the
doctor lived SIX miles off and her
dissolution was somewhat expected,
no attempt was made to summon
medical aid especially as to all APP
pearance rigor mOrtis had set in.
The limbs grew stiff, and except
for the fact that the flesh retained
its natural color to some extent,
there was no unusual appearance.
After the body had lain in this
state for some time, the neighbors
coming in, the grave clothes were
brought out and preparations made
to prepare for the last sad rites.
Suddenly 4 light perspiratlon
broke out on the body, and with
a long drawn respiration the vital
shark. which seemingly had long
been exhausted, famed up once
more. and to the surprise and horror
ofthose gathered there, the supposed
corpse sat up in bed and surveyed
with half dazed eyes the mourners
gathered around. The first word
uttered by any of the party came
from the dead.allve, who, with
tremulous accents, said.
"Ah, heaven is beautiful place,
and should have been 20 happy to
have staid there, but so longed
to see my Brother and sister once
more"
AS soon as possible the room
was cleared Of the wondering spec
tators and the doctor sent for, who
found his patient rather better than
on his previous visit the day before,
and since that time she has, to all
appearance steadily improved, eat
ing viands which heretofore she
had been utterly unable to relish,
and conversing with those OF her
friends in much firmer tones.

THE BOY BANDIT.
IF. A. Stearns, in Tid-Bits.
CHAPTER /.
THE RESOLVE.

"Gimme a bite O. your jujube
paste?"
The speaker was a boy Of some
twelve summers and an equal num-
Der of winters, to say nothing Of a
large number of springs and several
hundred falls. The most casual
observer would have been willing
to make a deposition before the
nearest magistrate that beneath a
somewhat commonplace and phe'
nomenally dirty exterior flor our
hero had naughty contempt for
conventionallties) this boy conceal
ed an indomitable will and col
larless shirt.
The person whom he addressed
was a girl of about his own age
She was peerlessly beautiful, and
wore store clothes and had an
aristocratic air. Every nerve
stretched to its utmost tension, the
boy awaited her answer. With a
quick movement she placed the
coveted cOnfection out of his reach,
utterlng, as she did so, these
words:
"Naw | won't, neither"
The youth staggered as if he had
been hit with a club.
Had he not been SD passionate
ly attached to his native land, as
to carry large sample of it on his
face, his companion would have
seen that he was ghastly pale.
The iron had entered his soul.
$50 be it, he hissed IN strange,
unnatural voice. "This is the
bitterest blow of all. Tonight !
leave New York forever. Hence
forth William Boggs is dead. But
in his place will spring to life Que
of whom men will speak with
bated breath and bulging eyes;
one whose feared and hated name
will be-
"What ? what ~ walled the girl.
"Barbarous Bill, the Boy Bandit,
the Holy Terror Of the Yosemite"
As he uttered these words the
jujube paste fell from his COM
panion's nerveless fingers, and with
a low cry she sank fainting to the
ground.
The boy seized the confection
and eagerly devoured 1t. Then as
he strobe rapidly away he mutter-
ed, hoarsely

the outlaws, in wild enthusiasm at

Barbarous Bill returning at that

A TUNKERS love FEAST.
ITS CELEBRATION At FREDERICK
A NOVEL AND INTERESTING CERE.
MONY-FEET WASHING AND THE
KISS.

FREDERICK, November J.-The
German Baptist congregation of
this city to-day celebrated the
Azapae, or love feast, a solemn
religious ceremony, which is held
in some places annually and others
merely when the occasion suits.
The feast to-day was the first that
has been held here for several years.

man and Long. There were about
fifty women in the congregation,
all of them attired in the plainest
garb, with the peculiar bonnets
prescribed by the church tenets.--
Among them were many pretty
girls, as solemn and sedate as their
older sisters. The exercises proper
began at three o'clock, and con.
sisted Of an examination service,
feet. washing and feast of love.
The examination services were con.

was termed an administrator, and
were Intended TO prepare the feast
in heart and conscience for the
solemn services that were to follow.
Everything was done in perfect
silence, the curious intruderS IN the
rear of the little edifce looking on
in wonder at the proceedings
After the examination services a
general feet-washing took place,
according to the description found
in the thirteenth chapter OF st.
John. Little basins filed with
water were brought in, aud the
communicates proceeded TO wash
each others feet. While this was
going on the tables were prepared
for the feast. They we're set in the
plainest manner possible, aud were
furnished with mutton broth and
bread only. The bread was eaten

thaDkfulness for it, aud each one

the exercises was the salulatiOn of

sisters did the same. After this

CHURCH ATTENDANCE.


ed a statement in regard to a CEN
sus taken of the congregation IN
the churches of London on recent
Sunday. 1t showed that 100000
persons attended the services in
the morning, and 10000 at night.
The largest established church, ST.
Paul's Cathedral, had an evening
attendance of 3,403. Mr.. Spur
geon's church was at the head of
the dissenting churches, having q
morning attendance Of 4,519, and
an evening attendance Of 600.
We have often recorded similar
estimates OF church attendance in
this city. Such figures, even ifcor-
rect, do not convey to the average
reader a correct idea of the amount
of interest in church services.
For instance, one newspaper gives
these London figures with a head
ing which implies that but one
twelfth of the population of London
attend religious services. This
is on the basis that these figures
are about one.twelfth of five mil
lions, whicn is an absurd method
of making a comparison of this
kind. In a million ofpersons there
are at the most but few hundred
thousand old, strong, and free
enough to 90 to a public service
at any hour. Numbers who are
able to attend church services are
not able to be present at the same
hour, and this is the reason why
it is not only proper but necessary
to have at least two services on the
same day.
Having been long familiar with
the habits of church going people,
we are safe in saying that an at
tendance of half a million at the
ordinary services ofa Sunday morn
ing represents at the very least
many more than a million Of fire.
duent if not habitual church goers.
In both city and country it is diili-
cult for any entire family to be at
service at the same hour. Now, a
million of church goers represents
a population which includes a vast
ly greater number of little children,
invalids, and many others incapable
of being at ordinary religious SER
vices. These London figures, and
all similar estimates, to be used
as an indication OF comparative re-
ligious interest, must be regarded
not in their relation to the number
of the population, but in their re-
latiOn to the number of persons
who can reasonably be expected to
attend church services. Churches
with an active membership of sew
eral hundred do not have a larger
congregation than this at any one
hour, and this congregation in
cludes a large number who are not
members of the church. But the
pastor has under his charge at
least fifteen hundred souls, all of
whom to the extent which age and
health and cares permit, are church
attendants. These London figures,
considered intelligently by one who
understands the conditions of the
problem, represents one.third rath-
er than One.twelfth of the entire
population.
