Mexican Silver and Lead.

Mexico sends into the United states
more silver and lead than any country
on the face Oi the globe. Its lead comes
in with the silver. and there have been
troubles in the customs service for
many years growing out OF the classi-
iica:ion OF silver ore. This is what
Minister Ryan is now in Washington
for. Lead men contend that practi-
cally silver ore containing lead should
pay the same duty as lead ore does
beside the duty as silver. The Mexi-
cans have shipped their ore INTO the
United states in box ears, and they
have been cunning enough to put the
ore into the ear so as to either make
our customs officers a great deal of
trouble or avoid an honest inspection.
Ii they wanted to avoid the silver
duty they put most OF the heavy lead
ore next to the point in the ear where
it would be inspected, and ii they
wanted the duty to be on silver they
reversed the order OF things. Minister
Ryan will lay before Secretary Window
such propositions as will bring about
an adjustment of this trouble so as
TO please Our silver and lead producers
without favoring the MeNicans.

A BRAVE WAR HORSE.
comanchs. q Pensioner. and Sole Survivor
of the Custer Massacre.

Probably there is no beast in the
United States that leads a life Oi more
perfect bliss than Comanche, the brave
war horse and sole survivor OF the
Custer massacre lie is a pensioner
and is fed on the choicest OF hay and
oats. lamps OF sugar are frequently
given him to sweeten his declining
years. He is now at Fort Riley. Kan,
and was recently reported to he in
good condition.
About twenty-five years ago Co
manche entered the government SER
vice and was "a cavalry horse in Kan
sas. He was engaged in several bloody
fights between the government troops
and the Indians, and in one of them
he was painfully but not seriously
wounded. He went to Nebraska from
Kansas and thence to Dakota.
In the Custer campaign Comanche
hOnorably distinguished himself and
carried his master, Capt. keogh, one
Of Clusters officers, through many
desperate brush with the Indians.
keOgh, who was riding Comanche i'm
the battle OF the Little Big Horn, was
shot early in the fight and fell from his
saddle. A complete ring OF savages
made it impossible for any OF the SOL
diers or even their horses to escape,
but when the former left the field they
supposed that horses and men were
all dead.
This was true OF all but Comanche.
who, wounded by many bullets and
bleeding profusely, had succeeded in
reaching brook, where he was found
some time after by Maj. Reno's men.
He was standing in the water, mourn
fully gazing at the battle ground. His
legs were swollen to an enormous size,
and his sufferings were so great that,
to end his misery, he was ordered to
be shot. The orders were recalled,
however, and everything was done to
save him. He was very kindly treated
and his wounds slowly healed.
Alter his return to Dakota Colonel
Sturgis, OF the Seventh United States
cavalry, issued an order that the horse
known as Comanche should be IA
matter OF special pride and solicitude
on the part OF every member OF the
seventh cavalry, in order to prolong
his life to the utmost limit. Also, that
on all occasions OF ceremony, Co
manche, saddled, bridled, draped in
mourning and led by a mounted
trooper of Company |, would be pa
raded with the regiment.
Comanchs has many scars on his
body, but he does not seem to he suf-
fering. lie is very faithfully cared for,
and no one is allowed to mount him.
