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 Herald, 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. Tuft country in which Sitting Hull bus estholislied bis camp is a broken up, mountainous country, among the large affluents of tlm Yellowstone river, which i" itself an immense tributary of (be Upper Missouri, fhe Rig Horn, the Little Horn, the Rosebud and the longue rivers, all of which are mentioned in the'town concerning this fight, are tributaries of the Yellowstone and '.nipty into it just north of the -Kith parallel ol latitude, and between the IfttUh and 108th degrees of west longi tude, in the Territory of Montana. It. is the Rig Horn mountain country, and part of the territory reserved to the Sioux by treaty. 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 —Gath, in Graphic. LATEST NEWS.

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.

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.

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.

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.
