Jfcntccn appeared to be exercising the functions of commanding officer at thaltlme, and was drille all the orders that were given. He did uot think that Reno had tho entire confidence of all the officers. It was usual for company of ficers to express different opinions In regard to the plan of action in an engagement, and this diversity did not detract necessarily, from the Qualifications of a commanding officer. Wit te** admitted that tho reason Capt. Bentceu ordered tho troops to charge was he was where Lecould see the Indians, and Ileno was where be could not; also that Heno went with the troops on the charge, nnd Hint was one act wbldi he saw Reno perform. Ho sold that. In his mind, a commanding officer In hesitating In receiving a suggestion from the officer next In command Indicated no fear necessarily, but rather deliberation and prudence. It appeared to be the general Impression among tho men that Custer had got Into some light place where be could not get to them, and that be had abandoned them. Ueu. Merritt asked witness If, when he moved down to the point occupied by Capt. Weir, he could see from there anything in thu direction of Custer’s battlefield. Witness replied that be could not. JOUH fRKTT was called as a witness. Ho stated that be was SrucrUtoroi the Commercial Hotel In St. Paul, Him. lie was with Custer's command In June, 187 G.

Witness’ horse had been shot, la Die evening be started to go over on the breastworks on the line, and Just as tie was pitting a nack ho saw an officer, whom he recognized as Mai. Reno. Ho saluted him and aid, “ Good evening." MaJ.

As he struck blm, witness dodged back; Reno bod a bottle of wbiskvlu his hand, and as he struck witness tbc liquor flew over him, ami Reno staggered.

When he cave witness the order about the boxes he whs either standing or alttlng up, hut was not lying down. He saw Mnj. Heno two or three times during the engagement, and after the engagement he saw him several times. He was walking about and giving orders about the re moval of the boxes, taking care of the wound ed. etc. In reply to a long question by Lieut. Lee, wit ness stated that when he llrst saw Mnj. Heno on the bill he naturally appeared excited under the circumstances, hut hn saw no particular evi dences of cowardice on ItU part. He observed that Cspt. Ihmtccn gave most of the orders, but ho supposed he was acting under orders from Maj. Ileno, as he was next in command. Witness thought It was all riant at the time. lie saw im whlskv during the engagement, except once. he bean! a nmn complain of being dry, and Ilcno produced a small flask that bad a small amount of liquor m It, which Ileno said he kept to wet his mouth. This woe on the morning of the 20th. In (lie cross-examination, witness slated Unit the ilflsk was not larger than a quart, mid It might have been a phi!-, lie did not think, bad the llask been (Hied the night before, there would have been enough to have made Maj. Ileno very drunk. He was not drunk at thu time witness saw him. . . In reply to further questions, witness said he had seen many men at ihc time of the War. whom he considered brave men, who were ex cited at the tlmu of engagement, but he did not call them coward* on account of it. Hu had heard sumo questions at that time* concern ing Mu|. Reno’s conduct. It was remarked that. It wo* strange In some respects. Capt. Nnlup, Hit’ Quartermaster, asked witness some thing about this ut the lime, but wttnc«a said nothing In rrplv. In regard to Custer, witness said he did not know tvlut impression there whs among the officer* mid men almut his having gone uIT to Join Terry, and leaving Ileno nml Ids command, undid not have any such idea himself; Im did nut think Custer would do that. He thought at Mint time that Custer had become Hemmed In, und could not get to them with Ids wounded men. Reno's command was In no condition to. go out to hunt up Custer, iu his -Judgment, as they were pretty well exhausted when Ihctr own engagement was over, und went to steep. ’ll>cy had all they could do to take care of themselves. In reply to questions by the Recorder, witness said he did not know as it was customary, but he knew that a great many officers did take a flask of liquor with them when they went out uu expeditious; he had done so himself. They usually got It filled, also, when it was empty, provided there was anything to till It with, lie saw no uvldcuccs of cowardice on tho part ol Maj. Heno. The Court then adjourned to half-past 10 o’clock this morning. WISCONSIN POLITICS. Wilt Kx-Gor. I.mllngton Contest thn Next Itcptibllciin Gubernatorial Nomination with Gov. Ncnltli? Buci>xl Omiponrlrnre of TTi* TriMme. Watsrtown, Wls., Fob. 4.—Tho political caldron Is not allowed to cool off Iu Wisconsin for a great length of time. We have scarcely had a breathing-spell since the settlement of the United States Senatorial election when wo prepare to fret the pitch hot tor the coniine con* test for the choice of Governor ami other State officers. It has generally been supposed among Republicans that the present set of Stale offi cials would bo renominated without a struggle, and tlms a precedent long since established bo observed In tbetr ease. The conduct of our Stale officers, so lar, la the administration of affairs, certainly establishes the fact that they are deserving of a continued lease of power. The interests of the entire Statu have been well looked after In their hands, and tu every de partment at the Capitol excellent management prevails,—showing the present officials to bo worthy the confidence of the people, Uut I understand that the title of the lion. W. E. Smith to the nomination for Governor at the bands of the next Republican State Conven tion will bo disputed by the lion. Harrison Lud ingtoo, Mr. Smith’s worthy predecessor. “Old Hal," It Is told, has put on bis war-paint, and Intends to contest the ground Inch bv Inch with Gov. Smith. Candidates for the other offices are springing up here and there, and It Is feared that a scramble all around will bo witnessed In the Convention, auguring no real benefit to the interests of the Republican party of the State. It had generally been hoped that anything like a bitter contest over nominations for Slate offi cers this year would bo avoided, and the party steer clear of persona] bickerings and divisions. The statement Is mode that Mr. Lud ington Is moved to cross swords with Gov. Smith on tlie ground of having been defeated by blm for a renumlnatlun In 1877. It Is a mat ter of record, 1 believe, that Gov. Ludlnglun de clined a rcnomlnatlon, and his unwillingness to become a candidate was well understood by his friends. Had it been a matter of certainty that he was willing to accept a renomlnatlon, noth ing could have prevented him from receiving It. Two years before, Gov. Ludlngtun had made a gallant run, and through his success tlie Ko publican party got a now foothold in this State. This placed the party under great obligations to him; and, had ho only given out the word, he might again have been the standard-bearer. At the time Gov. Smith was nominated, In 1877, the formidable appearance of the Green back .party, coupled with the boldness of the Democracy, made Republican prospects look very dubious, and the most astute politician could not but consider that the Republican candi date would lead a forlorn hope, with certain de feat almost staring blm In the faro. Regardless, however, of the discouraging outlook, Mr. Smith and his associates ou the ticket went into the campaign, making an open, square tight for honest-money principles, mid bore alolt through the canvass tlie Republican banner unsullied. The result was a complete victory, and a blow dealt tu the Democracy of the Stale from which It has not vet recovered. If indeed it ovcrwlll. Gut. Smith's administration thus far has boon a successful and popular one. No fault can be found with It, unless It be by some who hove not been favored with appointments they have sought. Rut all cannot be suited, though 1 be- Pave that, in the distribution of (he patronage at his disposal, Gov. Smith has done In every In stance what he deemed to he for (ho best Inter ests of tlie State, regardless of bis friends or foes. ... There can bo no sound, substantia) reason ad vanced why Oov. Smith and the other Slate olll ccrs should not receive the indorsement of a re nomination; and it Is the general conviction that they will, nnd thus Republican success In November bo assured to (hu party.

On the 4th of Decem ber I was In Boston, thinking about a lecture t was expected to deliver In the evening, and ho badly seared that I iouldn’l remember the sub ject nor what It was about. I went Into a Tru mont street " Institute of Facial Manipulation and Toiisurial Decoration," and inquired fur the Professor who occupied the chair of Mediae val Hhaving und Nineteenth-Century Shampoo. One of the junior members of the faculty, who was brushing ao undergraduate’s coat, pointed me to a chair, and I climbed In. When thu per formance waa about concluded, thu barber said to me: " Have your hair trimmed, sir!" I believed not. "Needs It very badly, sir," he said; "looks very ragged." 1 never argue with a harbor. 1 said: "All right, trim It a little, but duu't make It any shorter." immediately trimmed all the curl out of It, nml mv Imlr naturally, you know, has a very graceful curl to It. 1 never discovered this my self until a few mouths ago, and then 1 was very much surprised. I discovered It by look ing at my lithograph. Well, anvhow, he trimmed It. On thu Oth of December 1 was at Bath, Maine. Again 1 waa shavod, and again the barber im plored mo to let him trim my hair. When I answered him that It had been trimmed only two days before, bu spitefully asked where it was done. I told him, and he gnvo expression to a hurst of sarcastic laughter. " Well, well, well," he said at last, "so you let them trim your hair In Boston. Well, well. Now you look liko a man who has been around the world enough to know better than that." Then he affected to examine a lock or two verr particularly, and sighed heavily. Dear, <lcar, ft he said, " 1 don’t know, really, as I could do auy thing with that hair or not; it’s too bad." Well, his manner frightened me, nnd f told him to go ahead and trim it, but please not make it any shorter. “No," ho said, "oh no, It wasn't necessary to cut It any shorter; It was really too short now, but It did need trimming." So lie “ trimmed " it, and when I faced the Rockland audience that night, I looked like a prize-lighter. In four days from that, time I was sitting In the chair of a barber down In New York State, lie shaved me la grateful silence, and then thoughtfully run bis Ungers overmy lonclyhslr. “Trim tuts balr a little, slrl" be said;, “straighten It up about the edges!" 1 meekly tola blm 1 bad It trimmed twice during the preceding week, mid 1 was afraid It was getting too short for winter wear. “ Yes," he said. “ho didn't know but whnt It was pretty abort, but you didn’t need to cut It any shorter to trim It. It was In very bad, rag ged shape at the cuds." I remained silent and obstinate, mid ho asked me where I had It trimmed Inst. 1 told him, and lie burst Into a shout of laughter that made the windows rattle. “What’s the matter, Jim I** Inquired au as sistant partner down the room, holding his patient in the chair by the nose. Jim stilled bis laughter and replied: “This gentleman bad bis hair trimmed down in Maine," There was a general burst of merriment all over the shop, and the apprentice laid down the brush he was washing ami came over tu look at the Maine cut, that he might never forget It. 1 surrendered. “Trim It a little,then,"! groaned, “but, In the name of humanity, don't cut It any shorter." •» No,” the barber said. “ bo wouldn’t make It a hair's breadth shorter." When I left that shop, if It hadn’t been for mv ears, my hat would have (alien down cU-ar on my shoulders. When 1 reached the hotul, everybody started, and a couple of men gut uo and read a handbill on the wall, descriptive of a convict who had recently escaped from Slue King, and looked from the bill to myself very intently. That night several of the audience drew revolvers as 1 came out ou the platform. Then I went to Amsterdam, N. Y. The bar* berof that sleepy village, who, In the interval of bis other duties acts as Mayor of the town and edits the local papers, undertook to shave me with a piece oi houit-lron he pulled out of his boot-leg. When 1 resisted, he went out tuto the kitchen and esmu back with a kitchen knife and a can-opeuer, nml ollered mo my choice. 1 selected the cun-oponcr, and he begun the massacre, remarking Incidentally that he used to keep a good sharp spuko-shavo for his particular customers, but ho hud lost it. Then be said my hair needed trimming, venr bully. 1 protested that it was Impossible; ft had been trimmed three times within ten days, and was as short now as a business man on the Ist of January. “Oh," be said, "It wasn’t too short, and be sides there wasn’t no stylo snout It at all." 11s could give It somesha|>e, however, be sold, with out making It auv shorter. Bo I surrendered and told him to shape It Up. Ana If that foriHjoouicd, abandoned, Amster dam son of an oakum-picker didn’t go out Into the woodshed and coma back with a rusty old borac-rasp and begin to tile sway wlmt little hair 1 bad left. He allowed a few shreds and patches to remain, however, educing here and there to my sculp In ghostly loneliness. 1 rather feared that my appearance Unit evening would create a panic, but It did nut. 1 observed that the ma jority of the audience had their head# “shaped up" after the same manner, and were rather pleased with my conformity to the local custom and style. Well, I got along to Corry, Pa., and rushed luforashaveandgotUtio one time uud two motions. "Hair trimmed, slrt" the barber said. I supposed he was speaking sarcastically, and so I laughed, but vsrv feebly, fur 1 was gutting to be a little ser4tlve on the subject of my hair, or rather, mv late hair. Hut he repeated bis question, and said that it needed trimming very badly. 1 told him that was what ailed It, It had been trimmed to death; why, 1 said, my hair had been trimmed ilvs times during Ihe post thirteen days, and 1 was afraid it wouldn’t last much longer. "Well,” be said, "It was hardly the thing for a man of my Impressive appearance, who w ould naturally attract mention the moment I en tered a room (1 have to stand on my tiptoes and hold on witn both bunds to look over Ihe buck of a car-seat) to go around with such a bead of hutr, when he could straighten It out fur me iu a minute." I told him to go ahead, and closed my eyes, and wondered what would come next. That fellow look a pair of dentist's forceps and "pulled" every lock of hair I hud left. "There," he said, proudly, "now when your bair grows out It will grow out even." "Two* a little dlsmavvd at first when I look ed at my glistening pull, but after all it was a relief to know that tbe end was rescued, uud nobody could torment me again to have mv hair trimmed lor several weeks.

Then bo oiled my hairless plohc and beul over It for moment with u hairbrush. Then no said: » On which side do you part your bslrl" [A WOMAN’ DID IT, OF COITUSE* Sat IV» k IftrM. It has been usually understood that Mr. Thomas Alva Kdlsou Invented the pbouugraph while making some experiments In telegraphy.

The article on the Phonograph states tlmt some years ago there lived In New York a voting working-girl named Miss Brigton, of whom a neighbor became greatlv enamored. One fine day the gallant young man called upon Miss Brigton while she waa busy at her sewing machine, and began to pour Into her not unwill ing cars his tale of love. As he talked she sewed, and was apparent!? more engaged In stitching upon her dress a galloon of tllrov metal than In listening to her lover’s ardent proposals. At last, In an agony of emotion, he cried out: "1 swear to you, Miss Brigton, 1 will marry you 1" alias Brigton looked up, smiled, blushed, and stopped the sewing-machine. Eight months later, according to the historian of tnu "Trinsdcroscoue,” the gallant young man was summoned before the Court, at the in stance of Miss Brigton, as defendant fo a suit for breach of promise. He was ' examined and cross-examined, but however ably the counsel put to him In different form the question.

She soon substituted for her ordinary domestic duties a scries of ascetic pcnauces, and abandoned her social circle, wherein she had previously shone and to which she was deeply endeared. Bomo mouths ago she left England with her parents. She hardly ever exchanged soinuchosasyliablcwlth either, but was absorbed In coutcmolatlou, and chasten* cd herself with fastlngpcrtluaclonsly. At Flor* enco her health fairly hruKedowu. nml she was Immediately moved to Home, In the vain hope .that the change of air and aceoeiiiight bring her round. Here, however, her condition became critical, mid when she lav hovering between life mid death at the Hotel de Lotidrcs moat prorl* dcntially Dr. Erhardl was called In. This able phTslcian at once took an accurate diag nosis of the case, and statcu unequivo cally that the symptoms were attributable woolly mid solely to morbid excitement and playing unwarrantable tricks with her constitution, adding that It was but one of a class of cases which too frequently vatno under his notice mid which resulted from an 111-Judged asceticism. Tim confessor who esme to admin ister the last sacraments to poor Miss Potter, Father O’Brien, very honorably reported the medical opinion to tits ecclesiastical superiors, mid eventually It reached the ears of the Pope through the Intervention of Mouslguor dtonor. His Holiness, on being Informed of all the cir cumstances, manifested the liveliest Indignation, mid Is understood to have expressed his opinion that to submit newly admitted converts to rig orous discipline la the surest wav to produce u reaction against Catholicism, both In their minds and in those of others who could nut bring themselves to approve of such pernicious asceticism. Mooslgnor Btunor. ft la said, ad dressed himself personally to Miss Potter, and pointed out (hut the course she hud followed had been the outcome of self-will mid was un justifiable. As 1 write, Miss Potter is on the way towards recovery. Pope Leu Is fully alive to the unwisdom of permitting female converts to reduce themselves to a state of hysteria or phthisis, and he boa already advised the repre sentatives of the Human Church In England of hla decision, ills action, us well as that of Mon signor ritonor mid Father O’Brien in this case, bus given Ihc greatest sailslacttoii to the major ity of the English colony In Rome. UK ECU Ell AND DIT/UAHDS. Stio Vert Miner, /'tb, -j. Mr Beecher lectured lait evening la tho Lex ington Opera-House, ou “Amusements,” for Lite benefit o( tlie Northwestern Dispensary. •‘Overtaxed lawyers, asphyxiated Judges, and worn-out clergymen,” Mr. lleecher said, •*need ed vigorous out-door exercise. The age had Just passed when a clergyman's dresa needed to bo that of a clergyman, when bis nose needed to bo carried at a saintly elevation, and when be stepped by clerical note. Now be was like any other professional man, and his worth was measured by bis manhood. Huch men—editors Included—should exercise their bodies freely, since the man lu them became tired while the animal was resting. Gymnasiums, Dowling alleys, and ball-field* were passable (or the pur pose, but walking was better, and horseback riding best. Also a billiard table was an excel lent institution, which should be translated Into every family. Uu thoolher burnt, men whose occupations were uut-doors, needed In-door, elevating amusement. There was a prevalent notion that amusement meant dissipation, but that notion was a mistaken one. Those who, la the pursuit of enjoyment, overstepped the bounds of health also overstepped tho bounds of common sense. As to Dm popular amuse ments of theatres, operas, billiards, and cards, and dancing, every man should form his own Judgment and set accordingly. Some of them were wrong or right la themselves.” Twenty years sgo Mr. Ucecher was allured to a billiard tournament upon assurances that all the clergy, judges, lawyers, and other prominent people of the city were to attend. As he entered the ball he was very much mussed, though probably nut so much, be thought, us those who saw him enter. Every man who raced a horse and nearly every liquor-seller in town was there. However, they applauded him. lie took a seat, ami they applauded again. When be shilled hit scat there was another outburst. Then be moved over among the reporter*. Mure applause. When bo started to leave thev applauded him all the way to the door, where a polite, good-natured usher said, " Mr. Beecher, won’t you havu something to drink I" Hu never attended another tournament- Never* tludess, when his boys wanted to learn billiard* he had bought them a table, thinking that "a billiard-table with u chaplain attached was not a pad tiling." lie recommended therefore, aa a cure lor the Improper use of billiards, a wider Introduction of üblca In proper places.
