CiTKTKn was an experienced Indian
lighter, ami it was probably to this fact
that he owes bis death, lie knew too
much altont Indians, and much fam
iliarity had bred contempt. It is the
veteran railroad man who gets ground
tip, and the veteran Indian lighter even
tually loses his hair. Custer was one ol
those dashing fatalists who believe that
man has an allotted time to die, and can
neither hasten or retard it.—JndianaitolU

Tiik royal mausoleum of Russia is
210 feet long, 08 high. The tombs are
all alike—a plain block of marble, six
leet long, enclosed by a gilded railing,
and tearing an inscription on a sunken
golden plate. Over one bangs a bunch
of keys taken front fortresses by the
tidier beneath, over another droop
battle lings, while above a third, and
sparkling brightly in the glow of the
never extingtiiabed lamp, is a closly
studded diamond lietrothal ring.

Tm: people of Australia are talking of
securing a new telegraphic connection
with England, by way of San Francisco.
They have bad a good deal of trouble
with their dispatches to Ixindmi, owing
to ibe fact that the line between
Australia and India |wnich through
Dutch territory, and as the Dutch
operators are deficient in the knowledge
of the Knglfah language, they repent the
Australian dispatch in the most in
fernally mixed-up language, and they
reach England is an undecipherable
condition. It is probable that a new
cable company will lie soon organized in
Australia, the line to connect with our
telegraphic system in California.
'I in-: joker who offered a life annuity
to tho collector of1,000,000 old jMintage
stamps, without any idea that the oiler
would Is* accepted, has Ik?oii brought to
lsM»k at Inst by tho young girl whose
efforts to win the prize have been so
frequently chronicled during the past
two years. Everybody who heard of the
offer, and bad any power to assist in the
matter, has seemed to take malicious
pleasure in helping the young collector,
and contributions of stamps have poured
in from all quartern, one especially large
one being a contribution of CO,000 from
Paris. It helps one’s faith in hutnnn
nature to learn that the promise made In
jest has been kept in"earnest, and that
the young girl has her mihuity secured
to her.
Run i. W. CuhtkiI, brother of the de
ceased general, toy* lived in Columbus
for many years. Ronton Ouster, aged
twenty-five, a forage-master,and Thomas,
aged twenty-seven, a lieutenant, faith
unmarried brothers of the general, were
killed. The brother-in-law, who was
hilled, was the husband of the general’s
only sister; who, with Mr. Custer, was
with the expedition. The parents of the
general are upward- *»f seventy and very
feeble. The mother, as were the rest of
the family, waagreatly attached to the
general, and his terrible death will
probably kill her. Neither the general
nor his brother-in-law had any children.
Mrs. (‘uster would ne.vcr leave her hus
band. She traveled many hundred miles
with him, on a pony, slept with him in
ambulances, ami when duty called him
to battle her grief was inexpressible till
he returned.—Cleveland Leader.
Tiie Sioux are the perfection of Na
ture's wild men. They are red repub
licans, polytheists, who worship every
object in nature—objects being rare on
their plains. They are polygamist, to
whom nature contributes a wife every
where ; and Sioux infancy is spent in
listening to the delectabilities of war till
the child precociously weeps to take a
scalp. The chiefs have little or no au
thority and are overcome [by the braves.
There Jis no law or code of law among
the I takotos, and property is an institu
tion of abhorrence with them. Untam
able, factious, hut formidable in war,
treacherous ami cowardly, but still in
arms forever, they have survived every
European innovation—sinall-itox, rail
road Indian agents and rum. They all
used to go afoot and now they rid# as
well as Comanche*. They had only
Ivors and arrows and now have Hpencer
rifle*'. They want the scalp of mankind

The May and June report of the agri-
tilturul bureau ho* reached us; it hu*
the (<>1 lowing respecting cotton :
"The June returns indicate a alight

uses of too early planting or inuuda-
; growth not tip to the average for
the season, healthy and improving con

Louisiana, caused hy the overflow' and
■t weather in tho planting season. Tho
xt largest is in Tennessee, where the
season has been cold and wet. In certain
districts in Texas there Ini* been Hit effort
to substitute corn for cotton, but in onc-
fourth of tin? counties there has been a
positive increase, and in nearly half the
remainder no decrease, while the enlarge
ment of tht! total area of arable crops is
rapidly increasing. The figures for acre
age are a* follows: North Carolina,
ninety-eight; Houth Carolina, ninety-
nine; Georgia, ninety-four; Florida,
eighty-nine; Alabama, oao hundred,
Mississippi, ninety-eight; Louisiana,
eighty-nine; Texas, one hundred; Ar
kansas, one hundred ; Tennessee, ninety-
The reduction in the entire urea
is about three j>cr cent. In Virginia and
North Carolina there is some complaint
of bad stands and small growt h from cold
nights, though the plants are healthy,
and the culture generally clean. The
Into planting promises well in Houth
Carolina. Early seeding has lieen pro
ductive of |KM»r stands. The condition
ire rages very highin Georgia, owing to
‘Hsonublc. rains, line weather for work,
and abundant lafair. Drought at the
time ot planting haaaffected the crop un
favorably ir Florida. Stands are gener
ally good in Mississippi and Alabama,
and trie plants healthy though small. In
l/misiana overflows have seriously in
jured the crop in the exposed localities.
Droughts in some parts of Texas have
fa*rn injurious. The plant is looking
well in Arkansas and Tennessee, except
in places where it was injured by inces
sant rains or'inundntions. The condition
of the several states is its follows: North
Carolina, one hundred and one; Houth
Carolina, ninety-eight; Georgia, one
hundred and three; Florida, eighty-two;
Alabama,ninety-four; Mississippi,ninety-
two; Louisiana, eighty-nine; Texas,
ninety; Arkansas,ninety-five; Tennessee,
ninety-three. An analysis of thtr figures
shows that one condition of the crop is
ly but not quite, so favorable an on
the first day of June, 187 />; the June nv-
e of 187(> is also less than in 1872
1870, but greater than 187*1, 1873,
1871. The opening prospect for the
growing crop is, then, at least a full av
erage with late years, but it character
and productiveness dc|*end upon the
subsequent developments of the season
and the culture bestowed upon it,”

have to relate is that on tho fourth of July,

how is this? It fs simply that we are cutting

There nre twenty-nine chandlers of com-
icree and trade in the Austrian, and tliir-
ten in the Hunga-iiau dependencies, to
whore system our exhibition is greatly In
debted for its support from Austria. Austria
exhibits nlbtimer of eggs and of blood, egg
preserves, nnd egg powder. Nearly four
liundred thousand pounds of liquid conserved
yolk are shipped lor the use of kid glove
manufacturers toUornmny.Denmark,Sweden
Belgium and England. They warrant these
egg results to keep two years. They con
sume from sixty to ninety thousand eggs a
day. This is a business that should he
studied in the United Stales, where eggs are
so generally and so easily produced. Core-
sene wax, is an Austrian specialty, employ
ing in one factory alone four hundred oner-
stives. The principal manufactory is ut
Staekerau. The amount of this wax worked
up is nearly three million pounds a year.

tiie other countries in furniture. The pro
duction of household furniture from bent
wood, is an invention of Michael Thonct,
senior, a native of Boppard, on the Rhine,
in 1835. The descent of this inventor turns

Twenty years ago Wellington ('ole-
man, then aged sixteen years, disappear
ed from his father's hotno in Westport,
Pennsylvania. His .room was found in
disorder and bloody garments and a dirk
on the floor. It was supposed that the
fa>y had been murdered by his French
tutor, who disappeared at the same time,
nnd his body hidden. Long and diligent
search, however, failed to reveal th# boy,
either dead or alive. Tho father left the
town, and the affair was nearly forgot
ten, when last week a stranger appeared
at the village hotel, und said that tie
Wellington Coleman. He related the
story of his leaving home, irom a desire
to go to sea, and his subsequent wander
ings und hardships. He was drawn home
hy a desire to see his father, whom he
had not heard from after going abroad.
He was i>cnnileHs and broken in health
and spirits. He visited his old home,
which had l>ccn for many years deserted.
Home one passing the house soon after,
heard two pistol-shots. Bearch was made
und tiie stranger was found dead in
of the rooms, with two pistol-shot
wounds in the head.

Indian inspector Vnndervoro reports
that at n council with the Indians of tho
Red Cloud and Spotted Tail agencies,
Juno 13th, the chiefs and others ex
pressed a willingness to relinquish the
Black Hills country on the terms offered
hy Vandorvero. The chiefs nil promised
to keep their jieoplo at homo and to re
main about tho agencies. They declare,
und ovidenco here sustains their declara
tion, that very few Hioux are absent,
and that it is chiefly Cheyonncs who
have committed depredations in this
neighborhood and who have gone north
to join the hostiles. The inspector says :
"Tho arrangement with the Indinns
that. I ■regard .as practicable nt tho pre
sent time Is an agreement between
them nnd tho government hy which
they shall rcliiuiuish nil rights to tho
Black Hills, nnu consent to such di
minished famndurics of their reserva
tion ns shall secure this object. In
consideration of this relinquishment,
tho government shall guarantee to
continue the supplies of food and other
articles to them, ns tinder the former
treaty, for five years from date of i
ever tho government requires, consent to
tho removal of their agencies from their
present location to any point that inny
lie designated for them on or near tho
Missouri river, whore bettor farming
land can lie found, or to wherever the
government may ch.iose to transfer them
to itotter their condition. As an induce

bo inado for schooling tho children and
for tho instruction or tho young men in
tho mechanic arts. Law should bo es
tablished among them and tho jurisdic
tion ol our courts extended to them tho
as to white men. I would give tho
Hiottx tribes the privilego of sending ono
of their own people to sit as a delegate
in congress. Nearly tho entire force of
the agency Indians aro here now and aro
Hiixious for peace. .Statements repre
senting $ different state of things nre not
entitled to credit. INothing could he
more unfortunate than to stop the

time, and thus drive them to tho altern
ative of stealing or starving.”
Reflux of European Emigration.
The European steamers for Europe
continue to take out large numbers of
steerage and second class passengers,
chiefly artisans and mechanics nnd tailor
ing men, who are said to be returning
home, unable to find employment here.
On tiie other side, it seems, there has
been some incredulity ns to these
reasons for this reflux of human tide,
aud so a correspondent of the London
Dallv News, determined to ascertain tho
truth of the matter, boarded ono steamer
on her arrival at Queenstown, which bad
four hundred and fifty steerage passen
gers on board,’ and the following is the
version of the causes of the British exo
dus from America: He says he found
both hopeful nnd despondent people
among them, but on tho whole the san
guine had the (test of it in numliers and
in argument. The few described America
ns going to the dogs altogether. There
was no work to be got. and they were
coming homo to try their luck once
more in the land where, when they went
away, they believed no luck was left for
them. The majority, however, had come
back with moro or less of saved monoy
in ther pocket, some to visit tbeir friends,
some to live on their littlo store until
times got bettor in America, and others
because the low railway fares produced
hy tho centennial exhibition, and tho
general holiday temper that event scorns
to itsvo aroused, gave them such an op-
I or unity as might never recur of visiting
Engtaud chcnply and without inconven
ience. There wero among them all sorts
nnd conditions of men and women, but
the hulk wero quite contented with
their lot in the land of their adoption,
whither they intended sooner or later to
return.
