rrere bundles of Nerves.

Some peevish, querulous people seem mere
bundles of nerves. The least sound agitate
their sensoriums and ruf1es their tempers.
No doubt they are born 50. But may not
their nervousness be ameliorated, if not en-
tirely reIieved9 Unquestionably, and with
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. By cultivat-
ing their digestion, and insuring more COM
plete assimilation of the food with this adj
nirable corrective, they will experience a
speedy and very percepuble gain in nerve
quietude. Dyspepsia, biliousness, constipa-
ton and rheumatism yield to the Bitters. .
GREECE is about the size of Vermont.

THE CUSTER MASSACRE.
Only One Man Escaped, and He Blew
His Brains Out.

interesting facts about the Custer massacre.

on that occasion. That is said to have been
the largest force of Indians ever encoun-
tered by American troops in a single en-
gagement Custer had over 500 cavalry
and some crow scouts. He divided his force
about equally, and sent Mai. Reno with one
body to attack the lower end of the Indian
village. while he charged at the upper end
Inc Sioux all agree in their statements to
to DR. McGillicuddy that their surprise was
complete. They were engaged in repelling
Reno at one end, when the bugles at the
other end gave them their first warning of
Clusters presence. They were disconcerted,
and were on the point of giving way for a
general retreat when Reno, to their aston
lshment, drew OIL. This permitted them to
turn their whole attention to Custer. "the
white chief with the yellow hair"
They told how they managed to make
the massacre complete. The ground was
broken and Custer was unable to han1le his
men in cavalry formation. He dismounted
them, leaving every fourth man to hold the
horses. The Indians first threw themselves
on the men with the horses. shot them
down and stampeded the horses. Thev did
this, they said, because they knew that the
oulk oil the ammunition which the soldiers
carried was on the horses This done the
rest was easy. 1t was only the question of
lew minutes till the cartridges IN the belts
OF the soldiers gave out, and then there was
no more ammunition.

THE FIRST BALE
The Date 1t Has Been Received for
the Last Ten Years.

The Date 1t Has Been Received for
the Last Ten Years.
The first bale of new cotton was received
later this year, with two exceptions, than
in ten years. The average receipt of the
first BALE here, as a rule, is considerably
earlier than at any other South Atlantic
port. In some seasons Savannah has re-
ceived the first bale before the south west
ern or Gulf ports, but this year it was con-
Siderahly behind, as already Galveston.
Mobile and New Orleans have received
several new bales.
Savannah received its second bale yester-
day and Charleston has yet to get its first.
Savannah is usually ahead of Charleston
from one 10 two weeks. The new cotton
will soon begin to come in "blocks of five. y
Generally by the end of August the receipts
begin to count up in the thousands, but
the present season is somewhat back
ward aud it is very probable
that it will be September before the receipts
amount to anything, more particularly as
buyers Sin the interior are scary about
new cotton very early in the season on ao-
count of the rapid and great shrinkage in
its weight.

ton Of the first bale for the past ten years

as the Frenchman had his own code of
ethics for the court room on the witness
stand, and assumed to have little charity
for council on either side whose interroga-
tons did not conform to his ideas of rele-
vancy.
Acting Solicitor General Rockwell. as is
usual III criminal procedure, sought to es-
tabiIsh this county and state as the locality
where the alleged assault was committed.
and to his question as to what county and
state the assault was committed in had his
breath almost taken away by the original
reply Of Des Ombres, who replied, DO YOU
think | am a foolF and when the question
was repeated, answered in the same inquisi-
torlal way, adding Are you a lawyer, to
ask me such question:
In the cross examination by SamI B.
Adams, Esq, counsel for the defendant.
Mr.. Adams asked Des Ombres if he had
drank anything that day The witness
confessed that he had taken a glass of
beer. Did you take drink of whisky,
too. asked the attorney. TO which the
witnes, replied iii petuIant way, "Do you

witness had of showing that he did DOT mix
