George A. Custer Again.
8. N. Human, Belmont, Iowa, writes: al
have read with interest, yet with sorrow, arti-
cles in your valuable paper regarding the
character of Que of the grsndost cavalry leaders
the war produced. Many years ago he aud his
little band, each true to the other and the flag
gave their lives. and to assault the character
and reputation of dead man seems TO me not
little cowardly. Maj. Gen. Geo. A. Custer
was to Gen. Sheridan what Sheridan was to
Gen. Grant, his ablest Captain and one in
whom he placed implicit confidence. Ny posi-
ton was such during the latter part of the
to know Gen. Custer personally and intimately.
| have known him to race horse but it was
generally because he could get nearer the re6s
than any body else, and was not afraid to DO So
As to his severity or cruelty to his men, this
cannot be said OF him while he commanded the
Third Cavalry Division. In camp he was as
gentle and affectionate as a woman; in battle
terribly in earnest, but he never asked his men
to go where he would not lead them"

Griffin, say ing: "Mr. Griffin, wish you would go and see my two sons. They have ar rived in Portsmouth and they are going to take ship and are going away from home. l wish you would persuade them back" MT. Griffin went and he tried to persuade them back. He per suaded one to go. He went with very easy persuasion because he was very homesick already. The other young man said: 'I will not go. I have had enough of home. I'll never go home." "Well," said MT. Griffin, "then if you won't go home I'll get you respectable position on a respectable ship" "No, you won't" said the prodigal; mo, you won't. l am going as common sailor; that will plague my father most, and what will do most to. tantalize and worry him will please me best"

You are my fathers friend, and would like to have you pray for me-"
 MT. Griffin went from judicial au- thority to judicial authority to get that young mans pardon. He slept not night nor day. He went from influen. tial person to influential person until in some way he got that young mans par. don. He came down on the dock and as he arrived on the dock with the par don the father came. He had heard that his son under disguised name had been committing crime and was going to be put to death. So Mir. Griffin and the father went on ships deck, and al the very moment Mir. Griffin offered tn, pardon to the young man the old father threw his arms around the sons necl and the son said: Father, have don, very wrong and am very sorry. wish had never broken your heart. am very sorry" "Oh," said the father "don't mention it.
