" said ono of his men through the Sioux City Journal , "I fol lowed him through-n great part of the war of the rebellion as a privnto soldier. I followed him afterwards in various capacities during his warfare on the frontier. Yes , and today if I should sco the general astride his Kentucky thor oughbred , seated , as no man over sat horse before or since , should I catch the glint of the sun on the mighty sweep of that saber of his , and BOO the yellow hair flying straight as he dashed along , I could not resist the temptation to seize n poker or a hatchet or an ax handle , jump astride that old mare of mine and. follow him for bettor or for worse. "And no soldier of Glister's ever did moro than follow him. IIo was a leader of men not n driver a cavnlicr general who asked no nianjto go where ho dared not take the lead , and as the danger be came greater Custor was just sure to bo just BO much further in front of his column.

Ho be lieved it to bo his business to light , and | g ho lot few opportunities go by , provided ho thought the enemy worth his mottle. "Custer had the most unbounded faith in the rank and file of his regiment , but ho never reposed the least confidence in his subordinate officers IIo gave his personal attention to the minutest deL - L tails of his command , saw that every | Sj > trooper had his full allowance of rations and clothing , and saw , too , that the men attended just as carefully to the physical wants of their horses. lie would never tnko the "word of captain or lieutenant on such matters. For that reason the subordinate commissioned ofllcors hated him as heartily as the men loved him. Ho insisted always on being absolute in his command. "But how the boys loved that man Their devotion was fittingly demon etrated in nn incident in the general's last battle , on the Little Big Horn. The 200 troopers know thoj were hopelessly outnumbered b } nn enemy bettor nrmed than them selves. Eight cavalrymen broke througi the Indian lines and gained a neighbor ing bluff. They were practically out ol clangor , for the fine horses which the Seventh wns then equipped with conic laugh at the best Indian ponies.

' and. alighting , ho placed hii carbine against his horse's head ant shot him dead. Then ho quietly re leased , his revolvers from the saddle nnd , thrusting them into his bolt started down the slope. The remaining Bovon followed suit , and the little bant was annihilated in an attempt to gait their leader's side on foot.

Eaoh did much drinking and the hotel people refused to supply Mrs. Porter with liquor after learn ing of the amount she was consuming. On Friday last some of Colonel Houston's friends called at the hotel and found the army officer in such a condition that they at once sent him to St. Vincent's hospital , but the woman kept up her debauch , procuring liquor outsldo the hotel' On Sunday her con dition became such that the house physi cian had her removed to Bollcvuo hos pital , where she was placed in the aloe- liol ward.

While the siege of Richmond was in progress , says the Now York Ledger , and after much blood had been shod in attempts to capture the Weldon rail road , General Birnoy wanted twelve men to enter upon a secret work of great im portance and great danger. Ho had found his ollleor to command , but not the men to follow. Ho was recom mended to the th Maine regiment ; and to the colonel of said regiment ho wont and stated his case.

" The company was mustered in front of Its tents forty-two men , under command of an orderly borgeant. The captain and second lieutenant had been killed on the day before and the first lieutenant was in the hospital. The general liked the looks of the men. Ho explained to thorn what was wanted plainly told them ol the danger and asked for twelve volun teers the twelve that were willing to go might stop four paces to the front. Not a man moved. "How !

CUPID'S ' QUEER COUPLINGS Hitches-of Various Grades , Romantic and Otherwise. SEQUEL OF A SIOUX FALLS DIVORCE The Merry Archer lllotlns Amid th nnliol of Nations 11 the IMnlimiico Conjunc tion of AVIilto nnd Itoil on tlie Indian Kcscrv.Ulon. Edward E. Pollock , a dashing young swell of Nyack , N. Y. , who disappeared two years ago because of a scandal in which ho was Involved with his mother's maid , has married again. Nyack people still have a vivid remembrance - mombranco of the young man. IIo was about 2o years old when ho left the eaot to take tip his rosldoncd In South Dakota. IIo was handsome , athlotio of build , dark almost to swarthlncss , jolly nnd a most entertaining companion. IIo was an active member of all the loading social organizations of Nyack , a fine dancer and a general favorite. There were many rumors about the young man's ' relations wllh the remark ably pretty girl who lived in the Pollock household. Her name u'as Ellen Mahoney - honey , and she was ostensibly the rnakl of Mrs. Pollock , Edward's mother. It was not until the fall of 18S9 , however , that the Nynck gossips had anything moro tangible to talk about than divers trips to the eity , which the two young people explained as theater parties , and frequent drives on moonlight nights , which usually extended far into the morning , tt was known that Mrs. Pol lock and Colonel Alexander Pollock , Iho head of the family , were very much in censed at their son's goings-on with the pretty maid , but they were powerless either to prevent them or to turn the girl from the house. Therefore , when a marriage notice was published in the Now York and Brooklyn newspapers ono morning in 1887 to the effect that Ed ward E. Pollock and Ellen Mahoncy had boon joined hand and heart was a now and a highly disagreeable impetus added to the gossiping. The parents denounced the marriage as fraudulent and drove the wife from the house. Pollock disappeared for a time , turning up in Sioux Falls , S. D. , "ator on as an applicant for a divorce , ivhich was granted. The now Airs. Pollock , formerly Miss Ericsson , is described as 23 years old , a blonde , with a superb liguro , classic features and many accomplishments. She spent n year in Prance and Italy after Edward Pollock's departure for ' -ho west , and returned to America but a 'ew months ago. She went to Sioux Falls at once after receiving word that her afllanccd was free from all the old entanglements. Love In the I'lnUiincc. Cupid has begun a variegated engage ment in the Midway plaisanco of the World's fair. Within a few weeks a Samoan has fallen heels over head in eve with the Norwegian girl in the beauty show , the priest in Cairo strcot is languishing because an American cash girl was sent away after lie had jiven his heart to her , and a German lias had an experience ho will not soon forgot. His name is Carl Moinen , and in the land of his birth lip is called herr baron. At present ho is employed in serving beer and Frankfort sausages in a restaurant where ho can hear the lions roar while going through their performance. A week ago ho wont to the Chinese theater. In the play a poor , down trodden Celestial , ilcoing from un just wrath , is about to end his life , when the beautiful daughter of the king saves him and weds him. It was at the first sight of this daughter that Cupid began to work. His aim was true. The server of sausages was smitten. His attention to the customers was redoubled , for tips were necessary. It costs 25 cents to see the beautiful daughter of the king. Carl saw every performance , and his heart beat harder and harder. Ono Sunday he found out the name of his divinity. It was Wong Pang. To hang around the stage door was useless , for the Chinese lived in the building. Besides , it was a waste of time , for tips had to bo carrned. The next best thing to do was to write a let ter. IIo did it. It was an impassioned screed and told of the great love ho had. The letter was delivered and the tremb ling Carl sat in front awaiting some sign. It came. Manager Sling touched him on the shoulder and told him to fol low. Once in the coveted presence , Wong Pang informed the love struck Teuton of an ability to "talkco English likco Mclican man , " to which Carl re plied with a heart crushing smile : "Das ist xohr gut. " Those were the last words ho spoke in the theater. His divinity had been sitting , but rose , pulled oil the wig of the beautiful daughter and lot down a long cue. Wong Pang is a man , and because they don't have women on the btago in China ho impersonates ono. Carl borves sausage as usual , but in a very dejected manner , and gave ono customer an attack of heart disease by declining a tip. His hope in life is gono. Dlvortuil mid Kuinnrrlod. Louis Moran , son of the late Charles Moran , an important and wealthy per- bonago in the old aristocratic French circle of Detroit a generation ago , mar ried his divorced wife u few days ago.

The young couple could not agree , however , and Juno 21 , 188G , his wife obtained a divorce in the Wayne circuit court. Louis did not engage gage- lawyer to make any dofenso. Louis is now a commercial traveler for a wholesale drug house in Chicago. Ono day last week ho was hurrying down Monroe avenue at an hour when the streets were crowded. A lady dropped a famuli package and Louis picked it up for her , hue not until ho did so did lie notice that she wns his divorced wife. She thanked him pleasantly. Ho ven tured a few words , which she replied to in words that led to moro talk. In a few minutes ho was walking with hor. The marriage explains the rest. \Vhlto n u a Iteil.

A California Slier I IT Who "Stood Off" n Mob of l.yncliors. Nowadays when n sheriff wants n man who has shown his ability and willing ness to shoot ho gathers a posse , stations it around the man's house nnd when the criminal comes forth the shorllT shoots nt the moon nnd Iho homicidal person goes off to the mountains. There was a time when they did not have this sort of sheriff In California. The San Fran cisco Examiner tells of a big fol low named Dave Bucll , who was sheriff of El Dorado county back in the ' 50s , who had a way of get ting a man when ho wont out after him. El Dorado county folks used to brag of their sheriff , although on ono occasion pretty much the whole population was gunning for Buoll. A fellow named Crane killed a girl over at Rlnggold in 1835 , and ns ( ho county had had no excitement for some months everybody started out to lynch him. The mob caught him right enough , ami with that fondness for doing things in lawful fash ion they improvised a court. The court mot in n cabin near Ringgold. The prisoner sat in front of the house with his arms tied behind him. Probably G,000 minors from Plncorvillo and other points , most of whom had taken part , in the hunt for Crane , surrounded the cabin nnd made preparations for carrying out the verdict. It didn't take long for the jury in the cabin to pronounce him guilty nnd sen tence him to Immediate death. After the custom of the times the verdict was put to the mob for approval. Of course , it was unanimously sustained. There was a little confusion because everybody wanted to got hold of the prisoner. Just then Dave Buell came on the scene. IIo had boon out all night witli the deputies hunting for the murderer , and the fact that ho found him in the hands of a moo made no difference to him. His deputies got close to Crane , and then the sheriff on the biggest horse in thp county charged alone on the mob. Ho ran over n couple of men and actually got the prisoner before the mob know what was happening. Ho reached down from the saddle , caught/ , Crane by the collar , jerked him over the heads of the crowd and landed him on another horse that ho was loading. ' ' , By the time tho'nearest men got their guns out Buoll' . anjl -prisoner were headed out of 'the ' , crowd. Buoll drew two six-shooters , bjg heavy ones , and as ho rode ho struck right and loft and every blow downed a man. The crowd reached for hik brifllo , but the sheriff struck them down as fast as they came up and presently they had got whore the mob was thin and wont thundering down _ the canoif toward Coloma , twenty miles away , pursued by pretty much all the miners in El Do rado county. JiBut ) twenty miles is a long way for a' ' mob to travel in hot weather. Buell nnd Crane escaped pur suers and bullets alike , nnd got to Co loma a couple of hours ahead of the lynchors. By that time Crane was safe in jail , and the bhcriiT was ready to stand oft-any mob. The miners had come to hang a man and not to fight , so they went olT and held an indignation meet ing and resolved to hang the sheriff. But they didn't. Crane , after a trial in a legal court , was hanged according to law at Coloma with Mickey Free. The miners , instead of lynching Buoll , ro- olcctod him.

No Aliens to Do Found In the Crows or United Status Shlpi. A prevailing error among a great many good peopio is that the crows of our mon-of-\yar are a decidedly mixed lot as to nationality. It is quite a com mon belief that our sailors are made up principally of Norwegians , Germans , Kanakas , Italians , with a sprinkling of Japanese and the American indifferently represented ; but this is far from the truth. By congressional enactment , through the efforts of As sistant Secretary McAdoo , when a mem ber of the house of representatives , no ono is permitted to enlist in the navy unless of American citizenship , and the sailors of our cruisers are nowadays in the main all citizens. The cruiser San Francisco has 85 per cent native born Americans in her ship's company , and the other vessels that were in the great review were almost as well repre sented. According to the Brooklyn Eagle it is quite a diftlcult matter to keep up the quota of enlisted men allowed by law , as your true American scorns to have a fondness for a lifo of liberty , hard as it frequently is to pro cure a decent living on shore. Navy bailers are a decidedly well paid , well fed class. Just before leaving Washing ton President Harrison , at the sug gestion of Secretary Tracy , increased the monthly wages of n largo number of sailors in certain grades , nnd the navy pay list now compares very favorably with that of outsldo labor. The United States navy certainly pays Its men , taking everything1 into consideration , much hotter than the merchant marine. Bounties of throe months pay are granted upon ro-pniistmont , and it is no uncommon 'thing to pay an enlisted man off at tho-oxpiratlon of his three years Borvico i\vjth \ several hundred dollars to his credit. Take such ratings as machinists , boilermakers , and firemen they'all receive in the long run bettor pay thaM thb average shore wage- workers and , got besides subsistence credit for service , benefits of pension , etc. Many a young mechanic who has hard work in gutting along would find it not a had pan | by any means to try a cruise with UuoloBam rather than bulfot it about on uhprp bcrntching out nn un certain oxistoUcw.x Nearly every walk in lifo has ox-members of our navy in its ranks. I personally know of a dozen police olicors of good rank In New York who served in the navy , nnd the fire de partment contains a number df them. A cruise will do much to educate and de velop a bright American hey , so taking It on the whole enlistment in the navy is not n bad idea for a young man who wants to got a few hundred dollarfc ahead , with a llttlo experience of life thrown in.

Aside from this , of course , the natural bulls say prices nro too low anyway. It was claimed that nt present rotes , tno prloo of wheat Is below the Cost of production.

The main reason and ithonttho only toason for this coiullttou of affairs Is the stringency In the money market. Slaughterers ami oxportcrs are coinpclloil to restrict thi'lr operations as much as possible , and feeders , on account of lack of ready cash anil Inability to borrow , ate fnircil to market tholr rattle In laiKU num bers before they nro ripe. Th Is accounts for tlmpiosontory llboral sit pplles. Today there \\oro 3,165 iiuad received ami the market was Inery bad shape. Kiistorn markets \\cra all lower and with no 0110 want ing cuttlo very badly the matkut lu-ro llat- tiMiPil out vrnisotlinn on nny day of the weolt. Thu dressed be f men who hnxo boon liberal buyers all week did not cato whether they pot any oattlo or not , while the speculatlvo Rhlppurs Kavo It out cold that they would a'most ' ha\o to btc.il the catllo In order to lot them out whole In ChlciiKo. The Konerat mitt Wet was about as slow as It over jiets and lit Ices ruled any \ \ hero from lOo to 16e lower on the best handy fat Rrailes to 15c to 25o lower on the half fat stulT and roiiRh heavy grades. Choice 1.250 to 1,400-lb. stoois sold at from $ t.7O to $4.90 , with rouisli heavy Kti-ers as low as1.25 and * 4.5Kalr to cholco 071 to 1,160-lb. stems at from 4.U : | to ft 55 and poor to fair light and jiieen steois at from ? 3.Hl ) to $4.20. The close found a Rood many rattle unsold on which buyers could hardly get a bin all day. In cow stutr tbcro was no clianco worth noting. ThoolVetlnss vruro as usual light , and local houses picked them ui ) quickly at about stonily prices. Good to onoico fat cows and hclfeis sold at from $3.00 to $4 : fair to good butchers' cnwsnt'fiom $3.20 to W.OO , and com mon and panning grades , at fiom J2.15 to(2.7G , Calves woioln authodcmand and Htm at fiom $3 to $5.50 for common to chok'isleek. . Hulls and stags hold at fully steady prices from $2.76 to $4.25. As Is generally the case on a Saturday , thnio was \ery llttlo doing In thu stocKur and feeder lino. Tlio right kind of stock Is Inaclho re quest , but common stun" Is hard to work olT. Dealers reported prices firmly hold and strong for good to choice , smooth , well bred stock. llous Thu lluctuatlims In hog values have been frequent and \lolont. Receipts woio \eiy uneM'iily distributed throughout the wei-lc and this together with the uncertainty In the piovlslon market will account for the rapid tips and downs In \ allies. The t Ight inonoy market Is felt here , perhaps , as much as In the cattle us hog pioduct Is moio of a spec ulative artlclo than beef and It takes money to speculate. I'.ickers and butchers are i utining their biiblne s as close toshoi o as possi ble and for this reason a falling off this week compaiccl with lust ye.ir of over 30,000 hogs , or over GO percent hud no stimulating elloct on the market. The hogs 1110 still running veiy unlfoim with the uxuragn wulght218 Ibs. , or about fauitcen lb . heavier than a year ago , and twenty-nlno Ibs. heavier than two years ago at this timo. The following table shows tlio average weljht of hogs by months for thu past six years : tlon by long odds , and utilised their ndvnntiiRO by ttiKlne oil from 15c to 2.C , fully 2Oc on , an average. Chicago was ic- portcd very bad and with slilppeis not v\ant ing a great many they took h'ss than a tblid of the ofToiIngs local buyers bad things prntty much their ovsn way. Helleis however , saw nothing to gain by holding on and the movement Has modeiulely actlvo at the decline.
