The gossip going around Washington
about the alleged opposition to the re-elec.
ton OF Mr.. Carlisle as Speaker of the House
is nothing but silly twaddle. It is morf
than probable that he will be renominated
without opposition, and reelected without
difficulty. 1t is a generally recognized fact
that Carlisle is the best qualified and
equipped man for the speakership in the

Florence a year ago by Judge Kincaid, on
behalf of the state of Kentucky, are still in
the receiving vault at Frankfort. They are
to be inferred with proper ceremonies this
fall, the legislature having made an appro-

as well as admired in Kentucky. His statue
of Henry Clay, still Kentucky's favorite son,
at Louisville, is a true and speaking ike

statue even the characteristic wrinkle of his
coat. When John Clay first saw this statue
OF his father he was moved to tears by his
likeness.

It will interest the people OF Montana at

General Custer-the Murat OF the Union

will soon be issued by Mr.. Cleveland for the
establishment OF a thirty-six-mile square,

in the Crow Reservation in this Territory.
This proclam nation will also reserve three
ana a a square miles OF land for .
National cemetery upon the precise grounds
on which Custer and his brave men fell in
1876. Fort Custer was established in 1877,
six months after the massacre OF the Ger

established more for the preservation OF
peace than because of any strategic ad van
tages it offered. It has, since it's compile
ton, been heavily garrisoned, and there
are two COMPANIES of infantry and three OF
