Tlio most intorostiiij , ' theme discussed lit tliln meeting , says the St. Paul Ulobo , wns the imisMic.ro of General Caster. It will bo recalled by nil who are fainlliar with that tragedy , which MirptiHsOH all narratiom "f blood- Hhed and horrors , that Colonel C'odyand Dr. Powell wore , at the time of that torribli ! htittle , in which only one man c.swiioil | to ti-11 the tale , commissioned by the uovernment to make peuco offer- iiitfs to tin- Indians , and that they were eiironto for the s-oetio of the cnnllict wlien Caster and his brave eommand went to their death. Colonel Cody and Dr. Powell , indeed , were not many miles distant when the bat tle occurred , and had they been ublu to have had a con ference with Sitting Mull and his chief tains it seems to be pretty certain that there would have been no battle at all. This pliiisu of the tragedy was the theme of the convolve between these two commissioners in Chicago referred to ubove. To n CJlobe reporter Dr. Powell related the story , and it will prove in teresting reading. CnstiT Killed by Itiilii-ln-llic-Farr. "Yon know Hain-in-the-Kaeo was the Sioux that killed ( . 'lister , ' ' said he. " \VelI , Kiiin-in-the-Paee is in Cnicauo , and he joined us in Colonel Cody's tent one nvonintf dnrinn my stay there , and it was his advent that brought up the old Htory. It is a painful thing to talk ab nit , " pursued Dr. Powell , "and I sel dom mention it. liiiin-ln-tlic-Fiiuo - - - is nn intelligent Indian , and ho talks good Knglish. Ho reoitod the scenes of that nwful day in the most graphic style. It is not true that thu Indians wore sur prised liy General Castor's eon ) ) . They wore prepared for his coming , but they dreaded it. Now this may seem strange , but it is the truth. That very day Sit ting Mull. Kain-in-the-Faco anil 8,01110 of the other leaders had a council. They had heard of our coming , and they prayed that wo might reach the place in advance of Custor and his little band. They wore poworlosw. They had coun seled the Indinns that the best tiling to do was to make a proposition to the gov ernment and avoid bloodshed. Sitting Hull knew that the uprising must end in disaster to the caiibo of the Sioux , out the Indians had fasted until they were actually insane. Von remem ber they were expecting the Messiah , and they imagined they saw him in every Heeling cloud. This is easily ac counted for by any fcciontist. When men starve themselves they have a sort of de lirium , and this was tlio condition of tlio Sioux. Wan Obliged to Tight. Sitting Hull did not daresay ho would not light , as then the Indians with a sin gle thought would turn upon him. Still , had wo arrived there , 1 have no doubt that we could and would have nlacated thorn , for they have a sort of veneration for bulb Cody and my.solf. I do not Bay this upon the statements of Rain-in-thc- Face alone. Sitting Hull's two nieces are witji Cody in Chicago , and they cor- robjrtilod the theory tliat 1 am giving. Wo would have made a peace offering nnd it would have been accepted. But fate decreed dilTorcntly. General Cus tor. slill smarting under the disgrace that ho HiilTored at the hands of Presi dent Grant , had just beun restored to his command. Yon rouiuinbor lie was ai-rosicd in Minneapolis on a charge of leaving his command without leave , and ho was then court mnrtialcd and removed. When the Indinns began their disturbances the government gave. . Generil Ouster his old command again , and , determined to retrieve his honors us a bravo soldier , ho rode recklessly to his death. "lie only had n command of about 200 , including his scouts , and ho was met with at least 0,000 Indians. 1 do not believe the story that Cnstor was drawn into tin ambush tlirouch ; the treachery of the Crow scouts Ho wont Into the buttle believing that ho was invincible , and ready to moot death rather than Bland iindor the possible stigma of cow ardice. He was always a rash Holdier , and this was tlio rashest act of his cntiro career. Tlio tiioiihiunls of Indians over whelmed his command and in a very few minutes the bloody worlc was over. llntv CilHler Died. "Haiii-iii-tlie-Fiico llrst shot , General Ouster with a rillo , and then , rushing upon him , emptied his pistol. Many bloodthirsty reds then ran toward the prostrate form of UIB dead chieftain with tlio hope of securing his scalp , Kaln-In-tho-Fiieo stood resolute ever the dead form and commanded all to kcop oil' . He hold those long , ( lowing locks too snored for the scalping knife. This explains why General Cnstor alone es caped that indignity. 1 know the here woll. I never was Hitch an ardent ad mirer of him as HOIIIO wore , but no man could over charge him with cowardice. Whether General Grant was right 01 . not in reiiiovinir him at Minneapolis IK a ( | iicbtion that I do not feel like pa.s.sing l ( upon , but I can appreciate the depth of thu iiiorti'k-ation ' that General Cn.stor full whou arrested. Some claim Gen eral Grant took this course in revenge for the pungent and trenchant articles ho had contributed to Soribnor's Mtiga- y.ino upon Genera ! McClellaii , in which lie undertook to prove that General Grant , in the final battles of the war of the rebellion , simply carried out the plans that had been mapped out by Lit tle .Mao.Mmt 1 do believe , however Is as i have biiid. Had Cody and I ar rived in advance of Custer lie might have been living today. " A Unmtrd' * Sliii-y. An old soldier was tolling war Htorlo yesterday , in an uptown club , and the theme was bravery under fire. Ho was not trying to sot Himself upas a hero , nor was ho one who bolloved that heroes filled the ranks of either army , llo Bald : " 1 have often wondered why i was in a battle that some men woiih : carelessly expose themselves to danger ami take risks of losing their lives tlm wore totally wmeeo.ss'ary ' , and roall' could not be called criminal , i never claimed to be brave , and on several oc fusions 1 felt that I could Uo called a coward with justice. On one occasiot : I tried to be brave but it was tibulc-bs- J could not keep it up , and gave up try ing. Hut I am alive , and many of these who wore noted for their bravery wore not. So , purhapn , 1 am a gainer. "On the morning of July'.JO , 1801 , we Lad tuurchud down the roud to u bridg crossing Peach Tree creek. When wo reached the bridge wo found that two rebel batteries were stationed thorn , ono on the right nud the other on the loft nf the structure. Hoth had complete tango of the bridge and were shelling It for all they were worth. Several regiments had passed over and were .skirmishing1. Where we halted the road ran through an embankment , protecting us from the shells. Several had struck the bridge and knocked holes in the planking , making jumps noccs.itiry to cross it. "A few minutes after wo halted General .loo Hooker and his stalT came down the road. Ho rode in the open to the bridge , held up his hand to halt his stair , and slowly walked his horse across till ho came ton place in the planking where the animal was forced to jump , landing him safely on the other side. As soon as ho appeaVed in the open , before ho crossed , the batteries on both sides opened on him. This apparently did not disturb him in the least. Several shots hit the bridge and they exploded on all sides oi him , but he rode as slowly as though on review. His face was of its usual red hue. and no sign of fear could be ceoii in it. After he had crorsed lie motioned for his s-talT. and they rode ; over In quick order. Ono otllcer's horse was struck by a shell , and horse nnd rider went elf Into the water. "I watched all thin with admiration and made up my mind that 1 could be as brave and careless of danger as General .loo Hooker , oven if he was a general and I a private. So when the order was given for Us to double-quick across the bridge and jump the holes 1 was deter mined to take it as cool as the general. So I grasped my inni-ket firmly and started to walk deliberately. Shells wore llvlnir over , under and around us and before I got to the center of tlio bridge a volley of shells came hunting for us. ' " 1 could stand it no longer and started and ran as fast as 1 could , jumped the holes and got over about the first one. Several were killed going ever , but I never got -cratch. ( . I concluded that I was never cut out for a brave limn a hero and that if General .loo Hooker wanted to bo one I had no objections. However , when we got where those bat teries wi't-o nnd thev demanded our at tention ! they got it nnd we got them. Since that day 1 have often wondered why General .foe Hooker was cooler under lire than 1 was. " Kunmnri' nt u Dog Collar. . Mrs. Sawin of Moston , widow of the late Dr. W. .1. Sawin , surgeon of the Sect-lid - Vermont regiment , who died .several years ago wliilu being installed as Grand Master Mason of the state of Massachusetts , has recently come into possession of a silver collar worn by tlio mastitV dog which followed her husband to the war. The collar was given by the Tenth Massachusetts regiment , where her husband first enlisted , as the doir was a great favorite , .lust before the battle of Savage Station , in l tiS , the doctor took the collar oil the dog and put it in a trunk. The doctor was taken prisoner and confined at Libby. His baggage wns confis cated and the collar disatipeared. Tlio dog survived and went back to the homo of his master. The collar had not been heard of for ever thirtv venrs.

Tlio state of Minnesota , through a > oard of commissioners authorized by the legislature , has erected a nvntimen't ) : i the battle field of Gettysburg to com- neniorate the deeds of the First infantry , to bo dedicated in the early part of October. There have been wonderful charges in the great battles of the world , charges that thrill the soldiers of the nations , charges that through succeeding goner- itions have won , and still shall win , tlio idmiring recognition of the tactiean.the noblest lines of the historian , the rich and splendid imagery of the poet. Yet from tlio loins of this young com monwealth sprang a regiment of men who made a charge moro wonderful in its daring , more terrible in its result. more rich in its legacy of loyalty , than any that preceded it the most heroic charge of history. The hot July sun was zenith high upon the field of Ge'ttysbm-g that direful day in the midst of the fiercest battle of the centuries. Gallant , General Hancock , reaching the spot whore the union line was being forced backward , halting his furiously ridden horse , called out : "What regiment is that ? " ' The First Minnesota. " "Charge those lines ! " A charge into eternity that order meant. At double-quick , without dis charging a gun , with the concentrated lire of the eonfcderato army pouring a leaden rain of death upon them at dou ble-quick , then at full speed , they charged into the enemy's advancing ranks. General Hancoclc saw that a live minutes respite meant the arrival of roinforcoinrnts and a turning of the tide of battle. Ho sacrificed this iinolo regi ment in those fearful live minutes , and the position was held. The charge Kiivcd the day. but S per cent of tlio men who made the charge were loft on the field. Nearly every olllcor was deader or mortally wounded ; of the -liU men who made the charge , -15 wore shot down by the bullets of the enemy ; ! ? wore still in line. .Intlgo Loehron of Minneapolis , now commissioner of pen sions , in his description of the charge , of which ho was one of the very few sur vivors , says : "The annals of war contain no parallel to this charge. lulls desperate valor , complete execution , successful result , and its sacrifice of men in proportion to the number engaged , authentic history has no record with which it can bo com pared. " _ _ About .M ooin. The most Interesting of all nionns are the two that attend Mars , each about sixty miles in diameter. That planet Is just one-half the si/.o of the earth ; its surface Is divided into continents and seas , having as much land as water ; it has an atmosphere , clouds frequently concealing its face , and its seasons are about the sumo as hero , though the win torn are colder , Hucaiiso one of the moons travels around It three times as fast as Mars itself turns , it appears t < in the west arid set in the while the other , really circling in the winii' direction at a speed comparatively slow , rit-es in the east and sets in the west.

In his weekly review of business , Hanker Henry Clews , tlio Wall alt-col authority , writes as follows : "The general revival of ihiniicl.il Interests foreshadowed in our advices of tlio last two weeks 1ms arrived. There no longer exists n money crisis. The city b.iuks were , at the close of last week , actually above tlio legal limit of reserves ( although the w.cok's aver- aires showed a slight ilellcicncy ) . and during the past , week they have made a further gain of currency In their oxchange.s with the Interior. They Ihuroloro m > longer sillier from the restraints of the reserve laws , and are on the wu.v towards further largo accumula tions of nionov. Putting together the Imports of gold , the now issues of lianlt notes and the issues of United States notes against silver purchases , the country must now Inue some $7"iKXOUU ( ) more currency than It had at the beginning of the depression. The hoarding b.y private persons , by country banks and by savings banks had prevented this accumula tion from aOoritini ; any relief. Now , how ever , the hoaiders have recovered , or are recovering , coiilldeiico and arc converting their cash into investments or depositing it in banks , and tnis large amount , of money is naturally llowmg into its accustomed channels and depositories.Vo have therefore now reached a stage that always follows periods of great stringency , nt which the previously unavailable money Hews into the custody of the banks and be comes available for general uso. The stringency produces a contraction of busi ness ; th.u contraction diminishes the amount of money needed ; and there is then a redundancy of circulation. In this case , the reduiulriiioy will ho all the greater from the fr.ct that the gold Imports and tlio now issues of bank notes are to a large extent a special iiuremont. These facts Indicate that wo are now drifting with some rapidity towards an unusual glut of money. The llrst essential of a general revival of business is thus secured , and by a process which , because - cause it is natural , may be depended upon. ( ii-nnral Tr.itlo Must ICt-covm * . "Up to this point , however , the recovery of confidence in general business is behind that which has occurred in banking and financial circles. It is not to bo expected that it should keep c < | iial pace. For the dis turbance of credit among merchants has been more extensive than that which has been experienced in Wall street and the machinery of trade moves more slowly than that of tlnanco ; the trader , moreover , always lias to wait for the readiness of the banker. The restoration of general business , how ever , cannot bo much longer delayed. Al ready the beginnings of improvement are apparent in all the leading branches of tr.ide. There are more buyers in the markets , and although they are making in- ( | iiiries more than contracts it is evident that they are in need of consideranlo replenishments of their stocks. It is many ye.irs since stocks of inerchaiidi.su have been so light as at present ; and this applies equally to the retailer , the jobber , the manufacturer and the importer. The shock of the last three months of denrc.ssinn las been too severe to admit of an immedi ate average demand from consumers ; but it ' .s safe to .say that the reduced ability to buy .s not at all proportioned to the lowncss of locks. For a largo portion of the last three nonths the production of many kinds of uamifacUired goods lias been reduced by jiic-half , and as a rule stocks in llrst hands irobaoly do not exceed ono month's con- umptiou. As against this condition of sup- lilies wo have to set olT a largo accumulation jf deferred wants ami postponed buying , to gether with u restored ability to buy. The nature of tlio depression has' b'cen rather a .cmporary impairment of the instruments of buying than a destruction of the real ability to ouy. Credit has been suspended , : iot from insolvency , but from a ; ransient mqnctrry disturbance. The nonotary crisis having been vir- aetually overcome , credit revives , and the bility to buy and replenish stocks is re stored. The actual buying capacity of the oimtry has not buen Impaired at all proportionately tionately to the extent of tlio depression ; : iml therefore the condition is not at all com parable with that which follows a crisis duo o over-trading , speculation , inllation .vul nn extensive prevalence of insolvency. Un- ilur those circumstances it scums reasonable to expect that , when merchants have rocov- i'red a little more from the late acute shock , ! i brisk revival of business will set in , and possibly with some recovery in prices from their present low level. The recovery is not to bo expected to amount to.i full resumption of the prosperous activity that existed be fore the crisis ; but it is not too much to hope that it may provo much ( | Uickor and moro -omploto than that which usually follows icriods of panic. .Mereliuiil-i Itiit-liiMl liy tlm llanlctl. ' -.Mercantilo credits now have tno backing of the banks. The New ICngland banks are taking considerable amounts of gilt edge paper , and the city banks are in thu market lor the hotter class of names at" percent , The resumption of discounting means the resumption of trado. Naturally , the pros pect of an e.irly reduction of tariff du'ics is calculated to keep the production of manu factures close 10 the demand , This sort of preparation , however , has , from other causes , already gone as far as is needful iu order to meet the tariff changes , ami all that is required to keep the markets in a fairly healthy condition is to see to it that production is kept well within the limits of a moderate normal demand ; which , with the provniling caution among manufacturers , may bo safely calculated upon. Tlio pangs of prep.iration for the now tariff having already been vir tually endured , the only remaining question to cause much concern is as to the extent of the rcductioiib of duty. As to this , then ) I ? reason to hope that tlio administration may favor a more moderate policy than might have boon attempted undur other circum stances. "Tho llnnl repeal of thu purchase clause of the Sherman act is now so generally taken for granted that the silver question no longer causes any serious apprehension. Congress , however , shows such a decided disposition to reshape our currency system that there can bo but little doubt that when the senate has given Its vote against silver purchases , the problem of amending our bank note system wilt receive earnest con sideration. The decidedly preponderant opinion of congress scorns to favor bank cir culation us the chief fiituro dcpondonco of llio country for Its retail uses. Some notable changes of opinion from old methods of regulating and protecting hank issues appear to bo coming over the minds of congressmen ; and fortunately , they are of a cliar.ictor which , while calculate.l to allord greater elasticity. In tlio direction of both expansion and contraction , would yet mnko tin-in secure against default. A' b.iuK note s.\btom which , while providing absolute beourity for the issues , would yet nniUo the volume responsive to tlio constantly Jluctu- ating vants of the seasons and of tin * coun try would he an Invaluable contribution to ward the stability of the money market and of values ; and there teems to bo some roa- bon for hoping for that boon. "Wail street has expressed Its Interpreta tion of these improving aspects in the condi tion of affairs by an active bu.wng move ment ami a gimor.il Hsu In prices. Buyers of ample means have taken up large amoiiiitsof railroad stocks , which are not likely to bo ivuliml upon until a much further advance in values has occurred. Speculators in the foreign markets have done some selling to pocket pivllls , but the investment demand from that source continue ! , Naturally , after such an important rise in profits , there | ms been sumo rcali/ing by speculators , hut the spirit , and strength of the market indic.ito thin iho upward movement 1ms nut jotsneut its force , and we. therefore , recommend buy ing of good Jtockson all bpusmodic declines. " On llm lli t > in Sioclin. Concerning the recovery in stocks , tlio United States Investor says : "It is to bo hoped that no ono will base his expectations regarding the future of ttie industrial situa tion entirely on what has been witnessed in the Dlouk market in the past two weeks. The Buuoral tltuutiuu is itujirovhij , ' . Of that there can bo no doiOilI ; I'ho ono hope , however - over , which the future presents to the thouirlitfmstudent'Wf'l-cononilcs ' ' is that It will be characterized 'by an absence of many features which baJntiffi'd to the last few years. 1'hese fo.iliirni were largely respon sible for a llashy klnYTpf prosperity , which resulted hi the depressing months of May , .lima and .Inly , lv.il.tYhat : kind of prosperity Is not to be desired for the future , and it is safe to say the next year or two will bo characterized by an Absence of It.
