Mrs. Custer's Book: My husband s
horse had almost human ways of talking
with him, as he leaned far out of the
saddle and his face on the gallant ami
malls head, and there was a CLEAN in
the eye, a proud little toss of the head
speaking back a whole world of affec-
tion. The general could ride hanging
quite out of sight from the opposite side,
one foot caught in the stirrup, his hand
on the name, and it made no difference
to his beloved friend; he took any mode
that his master chose to cling to him
as matter of course, and curveted and
pranced in the loftiest, proudest way.
His manner as plainly said as speech:
"See what we two can do"
rarely knew him have horse that
did not soon become so pervaded
with his spirit that they appeared to be
absolutely one in feeling. was obliged
usually to submit to some bantering
slur on my splendid Custis Lee. Per-
haps dash at first would carry the
general and the dogs somewhat in ad-
vance. My eide had trick OF aching
if we started off on Il gailop, and | was
Lee at first, as he champed at the bit,
tossed his impatient head and showed
every sign OF ignominious shame. The
general, as usual, called out, Come on,
old lady! Chug up that old plug of
yours; I've got one orderly; don't
want another, ,"-this riding at consid-
cradle distance in the rear.
After a spur of tremendous
speed back flew the master to
me to excuse him; he was ready now to
ride slowly till 'that side of mine came
round to time" which it quickly did,
and l revenged the insult on my swift
Lee, and the maligner at last called out,
"That's not so bad nag after all. ]"
The horses bounded off the springy turf
as if they really hated the necessity of
touching the sod at all. They were
very we'll matched in speed, and as on
we flew we were neck by neck, side by
side, never changing our places.
Breathless at last, horses, dogs, and
ourselves made a halt. The orderly
with his slow troop horse was a speck
in the distance. OF course, l had gone
to pieces little by little between the
mad speed and rushing through the
wind.

DOUGLAS COMMISSIONERS.

The County Attorneys Opinion On
the Shcriff's Charges.
The board of county commissioners held a
meeting yesterday and disposed of consider
able business. ,.,
The American water works company, hav-
ing learned that eX-Marshal Freeland, of
Florence, who was recently deposed by
Mayor Hall, had petitoned the commission
ers for the Office of justice of the peace in
that place, addressed a communication to the
board, demonstrating against the appoint
ment. The matter was referred to the Judi
ciary committee. IT, g
had been submitted by the commissioners to
the county attorney, relative to the sheriff's
duties and responsibilities, the county attor.
ney gave carefully prepared replies. 1t re-
gard to the sherf's much-mooted mileage
charges he says: 1t Is my opinion that the
sheriff had the right to charge the county SO
per day. and mileage at the rate of ten cents
per mile each way for conveying the insane
to the hospital" He also reports that the
only actual expenses of the sheriff's assist
ants can be charged to the county, and that
he is not entitled to the same mileage for
them as he is for himself.
Auditor Points, in the report of his exam
ination of the sheriff's bill for boarding prs-
oners from June l, 1888, to June 80, 1888, re-
marks incidentally that the Jail records have
not been so neatly nor so accurately kept
during the last six months as during the pre-
ceding term of two years. He attributes the
discrepancies that have crept into the sher-
ifs bills during the last SIX months to the
lnefficiency and carelessness of prisoners who
do the work of keeping the records and max
ing up accounts. He recommends the ap-
pointment of a competent person at the coun-
ty's expense, who shall be responsible for
the neatness, uniformity and accuracy of the
work.
The committee on finances reported the
amount due from the county to the sheriff to
be sos. 80; amount due from the sheriff to
the county, $T7.93 The committee recon-
mends that the sheriff be requested to pay
over this amount, and in default of doing
which, no warrant shall be drawn in his IA
vor, but that the Sos 80 be withheld as a par
tial Offset against the claim of the county
until the $777.93 be paid in by the sheriff.
The recommendations were adopted.
The following bids were accepted: Grad
ing road between sections % and 27, in town
ship Is, range IL, to Vaughan Il McCann, for
1513c per cubic yard. For 50,0 900 sewer brick
delivered at Florence, to Bailey & Olson, for
81. so per one thousand.
The bids on lumber are referred to the
committee on bridges.

A Little Girl Disconcerts Cleveland

A Lewiston little girl disconnected
President Cleveland the other day. Her
parents were en- route from the west to
Maine. via Washington, where they
passed a few days. In their party were
a clergyman and his wife, who particu-
larly desired to see the president. The
little girl made up the third of the
party, and with the clergyman and lady
called at the white house. The presi-
dent shook hands, and as he took the
maiden's palm in his she spoke up and
said in resolute treble: II am glad to
see you, sir. am little democrat"
The president smiled and shook her
hand again, while the good clergyman
and his wife stood aghast. 81 am glad
to know it, my DEAR" said the president.
II am glad to know it. / am pleased to
have so valuable an adherent;" and he
was about to turn to the next in the
throng Of people passing on when the
little girl spoke up again in her clear
voice and added: "But, sir, am a
great big republican"
President Cleveland is said to have
turned, looked at the little one quizzic-
ally, laughed, and to have been for
moment or two at loss for word to
say. Then he said goodbye to the little
girl from Maine, and they passed on,
while those who heard him and saw the
incident were highly amused. OF fcourse
the Lewiston little girls parents were
astounded and are wondering what
could have suggested such an encounter
otheir little daughtee.

A Cock Fighting a Looking-Glass.

Popular Science Monthly: An anus
ing test of the difference in disposition
in barnyard fowls may be made by plac-
ing piece of looking glass against the
trunk OF large tree, and laying train
of corn in front of it. Some hens will
discover what they all take for new
arrival with mild curiosity and merely
look at 1T intently, perhaps peering
around behind the tree, and then walk
quietly away. Others peck the glass
angrily and insist upon fighting, while
a few nervous females show much the
same noisy excitement that selzes upon
most hens when they spy a snake. We
tried the valiant old autOcrat of the
at once reused to fury. Dropping his
head when some ten feet in from
of the glass, he began the cautious ad
vance by parallels, which every one
familiar with poultry has seen before IA
fight. But OF course he soon lost his
enemy by moving too far to one side.
After growing iercely and looking
around uneasily for few moments, he
returned to the train of corn, and al
most instantly saw the strange cock
nearer than before. More stealthy ap-
proach, another failure to keep sight of
the foe and greater excitement, and
tnlru tlme ne OcRdH W eau, Only 10 De
startled by the hostile presence nearer
than ever. At last he worked right up
to the glass and braced himself for the
shock of combat, the counterfeit, of
course, following his every movement
with ominous celerity. There was one
fierce peck at the angry head in the
glass, and then crash, as our
infuriated champion hurled him
self against his likeness, breaking
the glass into a hundred fragments.
The mingling Of astonishment, rage,
and triumph in this birds appearance,
as he whirled about, startled at the
cracking noise, and bewildered by the
total disappearance of his enemy, was
comical to behold. Then he rushed
around behind the big pear-tree, evil
IDENTIFY thinking that the cowardly
stranger might be hidden there. Not
finding him. the victor strutted about,
too excited to eat, and crowed long and
loud over his unprecedented triumph.
The other cock was entirely wiped out
of existence, and our old fighter, who
would crow defantly in our arms when
ever he found himself being carried off
the premises, knowing from experience
that a set-tO was coming, could scarcely
credit his senses.
