Now that tbe details of the terrible
battle on the Little Horn, have come;
now that the li.-t of the dead is spread
out before us, and the story of their
terrible fate ia told us with all its hor
rors, the more we realize what an act
of awful bravery that ride of Cus
ter's was. Linking facts with circum
stances, and the troth is apparent
that over-confidence was tbe cause of
their death. Threo hundred braver
men never died ia war; there never
was a sterner test of personal cour
age. I see iu the list of the killed the
name of Charley Reynolds "Lone
some Charley" Reynolds. He was
one of those remarkable characters
sometimes met with in the rude life
of tbe frontier more remarkable in
some respects tnan any it baa ever
been my fortune to meet in a some-
wnat varied experiei.ee ana a some-.
what wide association with people of
this clas?; for under his rough ex ten
or there was a soul as re lined and
irentle a3 ever reigned in a woman's
breast, and, as is usual in such cases,
no amount of vulrer association or
want of kindred sympathy could dull
its luster one degree.
When Custer was at the base of
Harney's l'eak in 1874, and our camp
was ablaze with excitement over the
gold discoveries, Custer sent for
Woody Knife, the chief of bis scouts,
and asked for an Indian to carry dis
patches to Fort Laramie, 200 miles
beyond us. lHoody Knife shook his
head solemnly, and said in reply:
"Mv warriors are brave, but tbey
are wise. Thev will carry a bag of
letters to Fort Lincoln, but I cannot
ask them to go through the Sioux
country to Laramie."
Fort Lincoln was 200 miles farther
than Larimie, although tbe route to
the latter place was beset with ten
fold more danger. It led directly
through the Sioux bunting ground,
and just at ibis particular time of tbe
year the youirr men were all out ia
bunting parties, so that tbe plains
were fail of tbem. Bloody Knife's
braves were Rees a tribe for which
tbe Sioux had a hereditary enmity,
and be was too wise to ask one of
them to take so Suicidal a project.
Hut mails mast be sent somehow,
and Custer was pondering what to
do. Charley Reynolds was sitting
by on tbe ground, with his legs cross-j
ed, cleaning a revolver, Feemingly in
attentive to the conversation. Cus-
j ter had been thinking but a moment
when Reynolds looked up and said:
"1 .1 carry the males to Laramie,
(Jeneral."
Custer was familiar with courage
in every form, but such a proposition
surprised even him.
' I wouldn't ask you to go Reyn
olds," he said.
"I have no fear." responded the
scout, quietly; ''When will the mails
be ready?"
"I was intending lo send some
thing to-morrow night," replied Cus
ter. "IU go to-morrow night."
And picking up his piece of buck
skin and bottle of oil, Reynolds strode
quietly away.
''There goes it man," said Custer,
"Who is a constant succession of sur
prises to me. I am get'ing so that I
tppl a humiliation iu hi nrefurjrf.
! . . . j i t i
ocarceiy a uay passes, iuu i uav
known him three years, that does not
develop some new and strong tiait in
bis character. I would as soon have
asked my brother Tom to carry a
mail to Laramie as Reynolds."
Tbe next day I saw Reynolds lead,
an old, ill-shaped, bonny, dan color
ed .horse t tbe farrier's, I was some
what carious to know whether be was
going to ride tbat animal to Laramie,
and asked him. --'
Yes." said he, in bis quiet way.
"Tbe General lei me pick my own
mount, and I got one tbat suits me."
Noticing my surprise at bis choice,
he continued:
- "I suppose I could have picked
oat a better looking one, but this is
tbe sort for my trip." And scanning
tbe beast over, be added: "He knows
more than a man, if be is bony. Look
in bis ere." j
Tbe farrier took the horse's shoes
off and pared bia hoofs neatly. Reyn
olds then went to tbe saddler's and
bad set of leather shoes made to fit
tbe bone's feet, so as to buckle around
tbe fetlocks. ' - -
"What are those for?" I asked.

"Cut they tell me you have had a

"Not so very remarkabl," he an

And this is all the romance I got
from his Hps. I5ut from the 1:ih of
others I have learned that he bad not
always been "Isonesomo Charlev
Reynold's." No, oue, however, knew
his true name. Hewas called "Lone
some'' because of an absent, pensive
way he had a habit of seclusivcness.
He came to Lincoln- from Montana
three years before, with his."partner,"
where the two h'd been, hunting and
trapping together several years. The
story of his life that the "partner"
told was this: v
Reynolds was the son of a wealthy
and aristocratic faruilv in Tennessee,
but was educated in the- North, and
when the war broke out be found
himself in a painful dilemma. He
had imbibed enough" of Northern
ideas to make him Btrongly hostile to
the secession movement, while his
family consisting ef a father, mother
and sister, were violent sympathizers
with the South. Tlis father entered
the Confederate army as anolfiu'cr ear
in tbe war. The son could not go
with him and fight sgainst bis prin
ciples, nor could batay al home and
brook the taunts and pleadings of his
mother and sister, nor could be join
the Federal army and fight against
his father, bo he left his home and
wandered away to the mine3 on the
Pacific slope. His home was at the
centre of hostilities, and all commu
nication was off. At the close of the
war be went back to Tennessee, and
what was once his home was desola
tion. Tbe neighbors told him that
bis father was killed in one of the
early battles, his mother had died,
and his sister had married a Confed
erate officer whose name was not re
membered, and all traces of her had
been lost. Tbe old plantation bad
been confiscated, and there was not a
single tie left to bind him to tbe past.
He spent some months in search of
his sister without result, and finally,
homelessness and a disposition which
shrank from fellowship with men,
drove him back to his old home in
tbe mountains to spend the rest of a
dreary life. From 1SC3 to 1572 he
was in tbe mines m Colorado ana
Montana, and hunting and trapping
along the streams of the great North
west, beinz emploved occasionally by
the Government to do some work for
which ordinary men were too cow
ardly or incompetent. He was a
short, stocky man, with a little stoop-
in? in the shoulders, and a way of
carrying his head bent forward with
his face toward tbe ground. lie
had a shrinking blue eye, a very
handsome month and a forehead on
which one could trace blue veins, as
. - ., ,,
yon could trace tnem on tne iore
bead of a woman. He was full
bearded, but neither the growth of
hair or the marks of exposure bad
effaced the lines of beauty from bis
face. His manner was unobtrusive
and gentle, and bis voice wa as
soft and as tender as a woman's
tones. He was a man that horses
and dogs loved instinctively at first
acquaintance; whom men respected,
although 'e was never fathomed by j
bis friends. He bad fought a whole
tribe of Indians single handed, peo
ple said, although no one ever learn
ed of an exploit from his own lips.
He never learned the necessity of
swearing, never smoked a pipe or c:-
gar before a camp fire, and never j
drank any liquor. Cor. Xeue York

us all in turn if he had discovered it.

Legislators are beginning to look
at the subject from the economic
point of view, as related to the popu
lar education. Dad spelliag, we are
i told, costs the country not less than
i $15,000 0C0 a year. Half the time
and money annually spent ia tbe I ni
ted S'.ates ia teaching 7,000,000 chil
dren to read aud spell might be saved
by introducing a consistent phonetic
orthography. "The cost of printing
the silent letters of the English lan
guage,"' as i'rof. March observes,
"is to be counted by millions in each
generation." Such facts are not
without interest to the tax-payers.
Mr. Skeat. an Eug'inh scholar of
high repute, says: "The pace of the
present day is tremendous, and we
are coming to this, that there will be
thousands whose interest it id to
learn to read, but who cannot fairly
j spare the time lo master that peculiar
svstem of graph v which is useless
'phonetically' but may, by the ety
mologist, be rightly termed "orthog

one would thick, to look out for the
interests of etymology ; speaking of
the objections made to phonetic re
form, he sr.ys : "One argument wnicb
might be supposed to weigh with the

he has expressed a hope "that a be

There are always not a few old

have oecome accustomed to tbem for
so long tbat they have acquired what
is termed an "historic interest." Thus
such words as "sceptre," musick,"
"theatre,'' "honour," etc., are venera
ted despite the inconsistency of the
spelling aud pronunciation. It is
such people and such notions that
stand in tbe way of a reform, how
ever desirable it may be. It is
patent to the slightest thinker that
many amendments might be made to
our tongue for the better, and any
movement in such direction ought to
be hailed with spirit. Most scholars
who have given attention to the sub
ject concur ia the opinion that no re
form caa be successful without tbe
co-operation of printiog-oflicea. Print
ers and publishers are naturally on
tbe side of conservation. Composi
tors and proof-readers are now our
best spellers, and do not care to be at
the trouble of learning a new method.
There is much encouragement, how
ever, ia the fact tbat so many influ

success would not be far distant.
