HOW CUSTER BECAME A GENERAL OFFICER.

One of

the most striking things in the

late General Custer's history w»s the rapidity of his ris^ in military rank. He was promoted at once from the rank ot Lieutenant to tli-it of Brigadier General, in recognition of the courage and skill which he.showed in the light at Aldie, Va. He had said to his companions, while vet only a lieutenant, that he wouldone day'become a general officer, and they fell into an annoying habit of bantering him on the subject in various ways. The story of his actual promotion is thus told by Frederick Whittaker, his "Life of General Custer," which Sheldon & Co., New York, will.presently publish. "One evening, eleven days after Aldie, when Custer returned to headquarters, after a long ride, in which he had bnen posting the pickets of the entire corps for the night, he was greeted in the large tent, where the staff was wont to gather at night, by the salutations, 'Hallo, General 'llow are you, General 'Gentlemen, General Custer 'Why, General I congraiulate!' 'You're looking well, General The greeting came from all quarters of the tent, where staff officers were lounging, smoking, chatting, laugh ing and telling stories. They impressed Custer as being merely a continuation of the usual ill-uatured banter on the subject of his a9oirations, and, further, as being carried a little too far. However1 he had always been noted for his remarkable control ovir a hot and hasty temper, and he was not going to allow his comrades to laugh him out of it 011 this occas:on. Still, it was with some bitterness that he was answered: "You may laugh, boys. Laugh as long as you please, but I will be a General yet for all your chalT. You see if I don't that's all."

He was greeted by a universal shout of laughter in answer. It seemed as if his tormentors were determined to irritate him into an explosion and they nearly succeeded for his blue eves began to flash, and he looked around as it seeking some one on whom to fix a quarrel. His old triend Yates (afterward brevet Lieutenant Colonel, and Captain in the Seventh United States Cavalry, and one of the little band of heroes who fell with Custer) whom he had been himself the means of putting on Pleasoatan stall came to his relief with a few words: "Look on the table, old fellow. 1 hey re not chaffing." He pointed to the table in the tent, and there, in the midst, lay a large official envelope, and on it was Written, Brigadier General A. C.ust-r,

United States Volun'ee.s. "The reaction was instantaneous, and the

young

fellow was completely over

come. A moment later, and all his comrades were gathered around him in real earnest, congratulating and shaking hands, while Custer, too much overpowered to speak, could only smile tears, and sink down in a chair feeling veiy much as if he was going to make a fool of himself and cry. However, he regained his self-control in a few moments, and was able to thank his comrades, who were really in earnest this time, and after a while was permitted to read the orders which accompanied his commissand which directed him to report to General Pleasanton for instructions."

HYDROPHOBIA IN A HORSE.

The Fitchburg (Mass.) Sentinel s^ys: 'A singular case of hydrophobia occured ut Groton a few days since. A farmer by the name of Torrey had in his possession a dog who had manifested some signs of being unwell, and while in that state bit a large and valuable horse, also owned

Mr. Torrey. The bite was not considered serious, as it was only a slight scratch upon the nose, and not severe rnough to draw blood, In the meantime he dog died, and the horse worked as lsual, until one day he seetijed quite un,vell and was left in the stable for rest.

Ie began to 6how 'unmistakable signs of lydrophobia, and was strongly bound ith ropes, but freed himself from them nd tore his flesh in a fearful manner. 'anv of the citizens assembled to wit ess'the affair, but were compelled to •ithdraw, as it was so terrible to look .ipon. In his madness he would only bite one forward

'.eg,

and when he seiz, it

he bones were as nothing. He continued this state until he was shot bv order of .Jr. Torrey. This horse also bit another •aluable horse', and Mr. Torrev is anx liosly awaiting the result. The same log also fatallj» bit a cow."

1 O O I I A London Spectator: it would seem as the cure for those worst of all small uiisances, colds in the head, which Dr. terrier of King's college suggested in the Lancet, might prove to be a remedy of •ery great value. It is snuff—a white jowder—composed of the following in tedients: llydrochlorate ef morphia, wo grains acacia-powder, two drachmt risnitrate of bismuth, six drachms—the hole making up a quantity of powder which from one-quarter to one-half tiav be safeh taken, it necessary, in the :ourse of twenty-four hours. Dr. Ferrier iavs that with, his snuff he has twice •jired himself of very violent coldsnce, indeed, bj taking trisnitrate of bis uth alone, which is a very powerful emedy for catarrh of the mucous memrane. 5

love of God, and to night I want to say something more on the same subject. Here in Ephesians, iii., 14, we are told about the height and depth and length and breadth of the love of God. My friend if

you

want to know this, come to Calvaiy. Nothing will show you the love of God to sinners so well as the Cross of His Son, Jesus Christ. When the French and Prussian war was going on, and the Commune wai imprisoning people and putting them to death, they took a Roman Catholic Archbishop and put him into a prison which had an opening on the door in shape of a cross and when they went to bring him out to die they found that he had written over the ends of the cross thus:

Height.

Lencrth- -B read tli.

Depth.

Ah, that man had been to Calvary. Some people say, "I don't see why I have so my troubles and afflictions, if the Lord loves me so much." Well, that is just the very proof that he does love you. That father who lets his son go on in the way to de.ith and destruction without correcting him is the one who does not love him. Whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth.

Mr. Moody then gave an illustration of his own

family

government, in the

case of his little daughter. In Romans viii., 28, we arc told that "All things work together for good to them that love God." A member of my family was sick one night, so I got a prescription from a doctor and went to the druggists to have it made up. He took a little out of

one

bottle and a little out ot another and another, and another, putting them all into the

same

bottle, and gave it to me,

saying it was all right. Well, you see these different medicines all worked together for the good of the patient. So with all things on God's providence and grace, bitter and sweet pain and pleasure joy and sorrow, all things work together for good to them that love God. Paul understood this love of God. When they put the thirtynine stripes on him, and atoned him, and cast him into prison, he would say to himself, 'All things,* and these are someof them, will work together for my good." He knew he loved God the Devil could not make him doubt that,and so everything was all right for him. If it had not been for those prisons, wwnight not have had these epistles of his, we haven't any of his sermons, they have all been lost but these epistles are ours, and I doubt not that thousands of people ....ve gone up to Heaven, and met the »rand old Apostle and said to him: "I thank God for that Epistle to the Corinthians I thank God for that Epistle to the Ephesians, and to the Colossians."

Some one may say, "Of course God loves them that love Him." Well, I used to preach that doctrine once, but when

I was over in Dublin in 1867, a young fellow came to me—he didn't look as if he were more than 17 years old— and asked if I wouldn't like to have him come to America and preach along with

I did not want him, for he didn't look as if he could do much preaching, so I came off and didn't let him know when I sailed. After a while I got a letter from him, saving he was in New ork, and that he Would come to Chicago and preach for me if I wished it. I wrote him in reply, telling him he must come and see me if he ever came to Chicago, and pretty soon, sure enough, he wrote to say he" would be here 011 Thursday of that week. I was just going off to Iowa to be gone viU Sunday, so I told my people they might let the young Irishman preach—he was an Englishman, but I thought, he was an Irishman because I met him in Dublin—and I went away feeling pretty anxious about it. The first thing when 1 got home on Saturday night, I asked about my young preacher, and my wife said he spoke very well, but that he preached some different doctrines from me. Then, of course, I didn't like him. But we went to church on Sunday, and I noticed there was a large congregation, and that they were all bringing their Bibles. He had got them in thatv waj in two evenings. When he gave out his text I noticed a smile running round the audience. It was the third chapter of John and the sixteenth verse: "For God so loved the world that He gave his only Son'-that whosot ver believeth in Him shall -not perish, hut have everlasting life." The people were so much interested that a crowd filled the church in the evening, when he took the same text again and so wonderfully did he explain it that we asked him to" preach every night that week."

The week was a memorable one. Night after night Mr. Moorhouse preached tr immense congregations, taking the same text every time until he made the loveqf God appear the central truth of the whole Bible. At the close of the seventh sermon from the same words, he said:

If,I were to die to-night, and go up to Heaven, and there meet Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God, and if I were to ask him how much God loves sinners, this is what I think he would say: God so loved the world that lie gave his onlv begotten Son,that whosoever believeth" in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.'"

He spoiled one or two of my sermons for me. I have never seen them since, but he showed me that God loved sinners in spile of their sins. I pity the man who goes down to hell with that text

hpnnncr

over him, and, my friends, do

not forget that it was while we were yet sinners that Christ died for us. I have been into some homes in this city that were so vile and dirty that I couldn't stav there five minutes, but Jesus Christ waits to come into the hearts of the vilest sinner and take up His residence there. It isn't because we are lovely, but because He is love that Christ died for us, and offers to come and dwell with us.

There is a passage in the Songs of Solomon that is very precious to me. It is this: "His banner over me was love."

There was a man came from Europe to this country a year or two ago, and he became dissatisfied and went tc Cuba in 1867 when they had that great civil war there. Finally he was arrested for a spy, court-martialed and conJemned to

It is a growing matter of wonder with me, how Moody has managed to fill two hemispheres with his fame as a revivalist. Grant him earnestness there are plenty of earnest men in the world. In my morning and piece of a generation, I have sat under the preaching of a couple of hundied ministers who were mentally stronger, quite as much in earnest, and vastly more eloquent than Moody, and yet to-day they fill, with a few exceptions, pulpits known only of men within a limited circle, while this man lias stridden the world like a colossus. Moody halts in his speech, corrects himself frequently, and is by no means what might be "ailed an eloquent or even a fluent speaker. Read his sermons through, of which the abstract we have given above, is a fair sample, and nothing cither strange or startling can be found in the matter. The manner of their delivery is less perfect than the matter. What puzzles me is the wav in which he has managed to secure such a wide-spread reputation for himself, and to catch the public ear. He has got it certainly. His immense audiences testify to that. With his audiences as they are, and that subtle influence of enthusiasm which will run through a large body of people, and gather strength from itself", it i* not incomprehensible how he now works up a high state of-re-ligious enthusiasm. But how did he, rather thaa ten thousand other and more suitable men, come to be chosen for the apostle of modern regeneration? The settlement of ihat question will go far to explain how a lot of ignorant fishermen, who for the most part, and with the exception of Paul, and we believe Mark, were of the cultureless riff-raff, succeeded in giving the Gospel of Christ an audience as wide as the -vorld and as everlasting as the hills.

A feature of the meeting lay in the fact that the audience was composed largely of women. I should say three fourths of them were of that sex. This is nothing new to church goers who have observed the same phenomenon hundreds of times before in tie churches up and down the land. It is fruitful of icflection. If church going is an evidence of religion, and failure to attend proof of impiety, then it is pretty 'horoughly demonstrated that Heaven will be as largely overstocked with females as was Massachusetts, when Gov.

Andrews proposed to send out, to seek husbands, several ship loads of autumal damsels to the Pacific coast, which, like Heaven, was supposed to be pavea wi gold and precious stones, but which, in many other particulars, besides its preponderance o! males, was generally understood, several years ago, to be a Hell of a place. It has occurred to me as a very lucky thing under the circumstances, that, we have tie scriptural assurance of there being no marrying or giving in marriage in Heaven. If there was such a thing. would be fearful to contemplate spinsters kept in thafrcondition by nature of their piety, though old bachelors in the other world bv reason of their wickedness would be perfectly right and proper. But all this is largely a matter of conjecture and all will perhaps be_ known to the hun-

present readers of the GAZETTE a dred years hence. There will be some satisfaction in dying on this account.

I went last night to hear JIM BLAIXE OF MAINE. He spoke at the Exposition buildins To the eye, the building appears to be about a mile long, and a quarter wide, though perhaps it is not quite as large as that. It was filled jam full one fourth of the audience could perhaps hear him pretty well. Another fourth could catch an occasional word. Still another fourth could see his lips move, and the

last

quarter oould catch an occasion il

glimpse of him and join in the applause I was of this last lot, and am convinced that the speech was a very bad one

I have seen since here, Mr. Brookover. well known in priming circles at Terre Haute, and his wife, who lent her charming voice on many occasions to musical enteitainments in Terre Haute. Mr. B., is the pressman for Brick Pomeroy's Democrat. He took me through the press room, and assured me with all the cr.ndor in» the world, that the v.-t_J.lv cdi tion numbered fitly thousand copies. But I have heard him tell outsiders at different times, when he was connected with the several papers ii Terre Haute, that the GAZETTE printed te:I thousand copies dailv, the Express five thousand, and the Mail and Journal proportionate amounts Therefore when he told me about the Democrat's having an issue of fifty thousand, I did not question his statement, but looked a picture of guileless innocence. Fcr all that my heart was full of guile, and my thoughts, like those of youth, were "long, long thoughts." He offered to introduce me to "Brick Pomeroy" his chief, but I declined the proffered honor.

Besides I was busy, and more than that, I expect to have the pleasure of seeing and hearing Brick address the Cooper Lyceum that hot and uncomfortable upper chamber at Terre Haute, when the "wicked daily Mail" sleeps the sleep of the dead, smd none but the GAZETTE is left to insist that rags is not an evidence of wealth, nor paper of plenty of money.

be shot. He sent for the American Consul and the English Consul, and these two men were thoroughly convinced that the man was no spy and they went to one of the Spanish officers and said. This man you have condemned to be shot is an innocent man.'' "Well" the Spanish officer says, "the man has been tried by our laws and condemned, the law must take its course, the mun must die." The next morning the man was led out the grave was already dug for him the black cap was put on him and the soldiers were there readyto receive the order, "Fire," and in a few moments the man would be shot and be put in tiiat grave and covered up, when up comes a carriage just in time the American Consul took the American flag and wrapped it around him' and the English Consul took the English flag and wrapped it aro ind him, arid they said to those soldiers, "Fire on those flags if you dare!" Not a man dared: there were two great governments behind those flags, and so God savs, ',Come under my banner, come under the banner of love co ne under the banner of Heaven."

pleases,—red hot. From a first-class authority in the Times office fast night, I heard it siid that though they do not expect to carry Illinois, the vote for the Democratic ticket will be surprising. Immense numbers of the people heretofore acting with the Republicans are intending this fall to vote the Democratic ticket. Here, at the Tremont Hotel, the young Mr. Couch, who with his father manages the hotel, states that though he and his father have heretofore always been Republicans, thev intend to vote the straight Democratic ticket this fall. They arc among the solid business men of Chicago, whose changes are significant and they state to me that they know many others who will do what they propose to do themselves. The general sentiment here is that Uncle Sammy had better begin his inaugural.

As to the outer man, he is a good deal more French than English in his cut. It is due, one may surmise, to the influence to his womankind, who, having lound their ideal dressmaker in Paris, have led him to believe that the ideal tailor must live under the same heavens. Their indiscriminate praises have clouded a naturally fine judgment, and he pays for his error in looking only halflike an Englishman only as much like one, in fact, as "o.vn flesh and blood" must do. That Frenchman nips him up too much at)the waist, and, curiously enought exhibits in this particular branch of high art a defect of that quality yvhich is so conspicious in the painting of the country, a due appreciation of breadth of effect. They worki our best broadcloth, too, on the other side but they have a way of treating it that makes it look- narrow. Our swell feels it without knowing what is the matter with him or with them and, with a characteristic aversion to total self-surren-der to chosen guidance, he tries to do something on his own behalf. Massiveness is wanting every where and to obtain it.

HE PADS HIMSELF

In one place—the shoulders. These in their seeming are quite square and flat thev form a rectangle, with the line of the neck you might make bookshelves of them, they are so free from the slightest tendency to a natural slope. These hidden epaulettes give him a strange, wedgelike appearence, which is the one thing peculiar to himself in all else he is a mere outcome of the evolution of European styles. There is one *hing to be said for the padding—it is a far shorter cut to the effect ot manliness in form than either cricketing or boating. This determination to find a new way to Old World results is eminently American. We make no apology for taking his mind only in the second place. We are describing a swell and to have begun with any one but the tailor's part of the man would have been equivalent to a fault in accent. Besides, a natural want of resolution makes us prefer to Iea'-e our greatest difficulties to the last. With him, as with his fellows, that ruling passion which is the clue to all the windings of character and opinion is exceedingly hard to discover. The search for it reminds one of some of the pa:w!c-i of vivisection. You cannot find out hs vital part. Cut every source of spiritual activity away from him and

HE STILL LIVES—A SWELL.

He can exist without an interest in life, enthusiasm, culture, even wit, as well as any man on this side of the ocean. Our New World, man's point of departure from his European prototype is, perhaps that of a keen apitude for business, when it suits him to show it. Me can hide it as well as our dandies hide their inconvenient heritage ofchivairy but the thing is there, within him. He had it from his father it is in all the society around him he learned the trick of it with a most curious purpose before he took to his prettier manner of ca-eless ease and in a community in which the want of smartness is as the want of air, it still stands him in good stead. Luckily. New York has no Temple Brr. and you may be seen in any part of the city in daytime if only you come back to the right quarter at night. He drops in at Wall street as well as at his club railways are not even an affected mystery to him he knows his way about in mines in some respects better than those who move in them with Davy lamps. When you meet him on this ground take care of yourself, just as you would be prepared to do if vou encountered a guardsman on the bat-tle-field. The very show of indifference is gone he is

OX THE LOOKOUT FOR SCALPS, And he woul^ take yours as readily a his own brother's. His later subsidence into languid caim is as striking and beautiful a sight as the kindred change that takes place in tigers after meat. The {,reat trouble of his life is that most of his fellows in American scciety have not th9 secret of this transformation. There are no contrasts in their manner thev are forever cliwing and growling, even when there is nothing to be got by it. In a word, he lives in a community which it is permissible to talk business alter 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Strive as he ma}', to fipd his true mates in nature. he cannot escape the occasionaharrfship of wasting precious hour, with men who see in the act of dining, a figure of the operations of a stoker. The are fierce, concentrated, pressing in all things' in all places, at all seasons, and his chosen principle of being is that there is a time to be gentle and suave. He finds a few of his own thinking, but not enough to form a society. At no moment of his waking time will the others allow him to believe that he has done with cuteness for the day. There is no repose in the lite they lead, and would have them lead, their heels are often enough in the air, but they never lounge with their minds. This drives him to Europe more often than he might otherwise wish to go there. AND HE PICKS UP CRITICAL NICEXIE of accent on his travels that make him and his countrymen, still more unfit for one another when he comes home. There is no denying it, native speech is cursed with a twang.

away he thought it lay, not in

tongues ofhiscountiymen, but in die en vious mind of the foreigner. It offends him beyond measure as a fault in those whom he loves, before all others in the world. But love them as he may, he has to think of himself, and he must travel aga if only for the right schooling of his own tones. Their idiom, too, must bear apart of the responsibility of his in voluntary exile. His fellow-citizens do "guess" a good deal too much for a people of the positive type of mind and they fix" by far too many things to be able to ,fix him long in America. He never ,leaves home without a determination to improve

on his return. Thus he has

by his observant care. He has not sough to originate he knows that his race is still in the initiative stage in many of the arts of life, and he has copied our clubs, as some of his friends have copied our castles, or our cathedrals. The fidelity of workmanship is remarkable, no less in the ornaments and fittings than in the shell of the building nothing is omitted, not even the gentle dullness significant of the highest respectability. He has even gone so far as to yawn at the windows by the hour, to show how the institution is to be used, and, most wonder.ul of all, he has produced in this new country (probably by the forcing process) a club-fogy who, to adopt the phraseology of his newspapers, is "first-clnss." Tbere is no superior fogy in all Pall Mall—we are mindful of what we are saying—he is abrupt, indolent, selfish, hard on young men everything that a fogv should be. He is a symbol at once of the

POWER AND PRIDE UF AMERICA. She could have done without the fogy nay, it may almost be said that sh docs not want him but other nations appear to think their clubs unfurnished without this article, and she has, so to speak, ordered one without counting the cost. One is reminded of the emulous extravagauce that led her of late to pay many thousand dollars for a Wagnerian march. The man to whom she owes the suggestion his in like manner created the club for her and is busily creating a caste, but in the course of a generation or so, the finished swell will be sauntering by his unheeded grave, not knowing to whom he owes his pretty ways.

THE LAM'j'JAti OF'HOASS. San Francisco News Letter: There is a retired trainer, named Long, residing on a small farm in Alameda county, who lives for nothing else but the pleasure of being near horses. He eats his meals in the stable, oftentimes passes the night in the same stall with a favorite pony, and among his equine pet is a mare who whinnies in answer every time he speaks to her. Our informant relates that the most perfect understanding evidently exists between Mr. Long and at least three out of the five horses in the stable. Two are recent additions, but even their case the same affinity is seen in a lesser degree.

The training of horses, their obedicnce docility and tricks in a circus are no novelty all of us have seen a horse fire a pistol, stand on two legs, waltz, lie down with its trainer, and perform a hundred acts of sagacity, but these are simply the result of patient training ar.d systematic

correction. What Mr. Long 'claims Terre Haute, Indiana.

far more astounding. He 3s«erts that from a life-long intimacy wilii horse.'-', he understands their speech he goes- further,! and declares that tli.-ir nasal, gutteral, explodent and uunhstructe.! sounds have a different meaning, rr usrd by the coalition of the brain and vocal organs, and that not only do his favorite horses understand him, but that every sound which they utter is perfectly plain to him. When "rruing with hirr. that, though he might comprehend the meaning of the sounds emanating from the vocal chords of a horse, yet it was a patent impossibility for a horse to understand th" English language, he replied: "Living, eating and sleeping with my horses has giving me the knowedge I possess, and the same intimacy has acquired for mr horses the power I claim for them." Here, turning to a slender, light-built grey pony, he said, '•Billy, we are talking of you if you understand what I am saving, turn your head round on the other side. The pony did so, and then resumed its feed. "Billy," he contklued, "tell me your age. how long you have lived here, and on which side of you is your friend Vesta?" The pony whinnied for about two minutes consecutivelay,and then,being loose in its stall, walked into the adjoining one occupied by the mare Vesta. 'Now,'he continued, "do you and Billy alk down together to the trough and drink, while I make up your beds. Vesta and Billy walked quietly out and proceeded straight to the trough.

While they wereout, Mr. Long turned over the straw carefully with a fork, and carried on an animated conversation with a roan gelding about fifteen hands high, Vesta's neighbor on the other side. The name of this horse was Poley, and after talking angrily to him for some minutes about some fault he had committed the day before, he ordered Mr. Poley to lie down and not :o get up until after Vesta and Billy had returned. Our informant saw but little in this to prove Mr. Long's claims, as many a horse will lie down at the word of command but when, without a further word, Poly arose and walked out to the water-trough after the return of the other two horses, the subject became as difficult of solution as before.

AN ENORMOUS GROTTO. The opening of an enormous grotto at Burgos, in Spain, has been followed by the discovery of a mysterious cavern in France. While workmen were cutting Jura limestone in a quarry near Belfort, "thev noticed a small hole, and after widening the opening with their pickaxes, found themselves in a vast cavern, the loor of which was about six Jfeet lower than the orifice. Heaps of human skulls and bones were lying about, although no opening but the one which the workmen had made themselves could be discovered. On one side were beautiful columnar stalactites, without corresponding stalactites from the roof they resembled marble mausoleums arranged on steps in a necropolis. Nor was this an undeserved name, for on advancing futher into the interior the explorers remarked a certain systematic arrangement of loose blocks in the shape of dolmens. In these half patural, half-artificial cavities whole skulls, thigh and shoulder bones were seen, some of them half imbedded in the stalagmites. Associated with these were stone implement, polished rings and bracelets of the
