A soldier spy named Howard, who
was in sitting urni's camp, talked
with tbe camp, folio wen regarding
the Caster massacre, and disclosed
some new facts, mis Dooy 01 nos-

ting Boll in that memorable affair,
aod thus tbe story Howard relates
msy be depended upon as they, not
raspecung pis mission among tbem
and in consideration of bis residence
among and relationship with tbem,
talked to him as one of themselves.
They state that many of Caster's
men were killed by mounted Indians,
who ran over tbem and killed them
with their knives. The poor fellow,
were huddled together here and there
and fought at great disadvantage:
vet they killed a great many of their
assailants, fighting desperately to tbe
last Sitting Bull asserted tbat tbe
battle lasted thirty minutes all told,
ending with the death, of Custer and
a few men and officers wbo bad ralli
ed around bim. This foilorn hope
bad gotten off some distance, and
eoold have escaped; bnt, unfortunate
ly. Caster changed bis mind, turned,
and ordering a charge, the devoted
party rushed upon the Indians with
revolvers, shooting down tbe aston
ished savares right and left. Custer
killed five himself when his pistol
emptied, and tbe foe pressing about
bim, be dosed with a grappling sav
age, and beating out bis brains with
tbe butt, was shot as bis victim fell to
tbe ground. This doubtless true
story supports the theory advanced
by military men at tbe time of tbe
massacre the idea ot some desperate
final act receiving support from the
position and location 01 toe group
of bodies about Custer, viz: that, he
seeing bis command annihilated, and
fearing to face tbe consequences or
scorning to live when bis soldiers lay
dead about bim, had deliberately
rushed to certain death
His body was oot recognized at
first, the Indiana thinking bim a
scout; bat, being identified, all that
remained of the famous General was
propped up against tbe corpses of
two soldiers, and so left to receive
tbe advancing but too la.e troops.
Poor Tom Ouster's heart was not cat

was barbarously killed with knives.
Lieut Sturgrsa was knocked oft bis

they encountered some Indians who

A good old story of "the road : On
tbe way to Epson, on Derby day, a
handsome drag passed a costermoo
ger's donkey cart "Whip np, my
friend," says the genteel Duke wbo
is driving, smiling at tbe coster, "or
you will be too late for tbe Derby."
The coster, ealatiog with hi. short
whip, says: "How do you know I
ain't a-going to the Oak.?" The
Oaks is ran at Epsom two day. after
the Derby, and is a more fashionable
race. The wit of the rejoinder is as
good as Thackeray's reply to Monta-
lembert at the Derby. The French
man noticed on the coarse several
men dressed as sailors, bnt who were
not the genuine article. "Ah," said
Montalembert, "these, I suppose, are
some of what you call your British
tars?" "No," said Thackeray prompt
ly, "they are only Epsom salt 'a"
A Pennsylvania Dutchman, wbo
