For the murder of a private soldier named

Who, finding them with loaded carbines pre
pared to resist, fired upon them in accord
ance with Gen. Custer's orders, and Johnson
was killed. This case was one of the causes
of General Custer's conviction by court-mar

was in, the habit of selling boots of French

him the charges of smuggling them into the
country. It was long before the secret was

each ofthe high heels ot the.boots was a cav

Mendelssohn and His Sister.
The union of Felix and Fanny Mendelsohn
was something wonderful, like the wonder
ful genius of sensibility and music which en
downed them both. Such pure, tender, and
noble souls are made for each other. The
more fervid and exacting bonds of marriage
and parentage did not interfere with the
profound sympathy in which they lived, both
when together and when apart They cor
responded music. Their emotions, too deep
and strange to be conveyed in words, like
articulate thoughts, they expressed m tones.
Seating themselves at their instruments, they
would for hours carry on an intercourse
perfectly intelligible to each other, and more
adequate and delicious than any vocal con
versation. '
When Felix, at laples, at Rome, or in
London, sent to Fannie f letter composed in
notes, she translated it vfirst with her eyes,
then with her piano. - The most charming
transcripts of these affectionate and musical
souls were thus made in music. Sweeter or
more divinely gifted beings have rarely, ap
peared on this earth. Their relations of
spirit were sensitive and organic; far beneath
the reach of intellectual conciousness. ' They
seemed able to communicate tidings through
the etheral medium by some subtle tele
graphy of feeling, which transcends under
standing, and belongs to a miraculous region
of life. For when Fanny died in her Ger
man home, Felix, amidst a' happy company
in England, suddenly aware of some terri
ble calamity, from the disturdance of equil
ibrium and dread sinking of his soul, rushed
to the piano, and poured ou t his anguish in
an improvisation ol wailing and mysterious
strains, which held the assembly spellbouna
and in tears. In a few days a letter reached
him announcing that his sister had died at
that very hour. On receiving the tidings
he uttered a shriek, arid the shock' was so
great as to burst a blood vessel in his brain
Life liad no charm potent enough to staunch
and heal the cruel laceration leic in nis aii
ready failing frame by this sundering blow.
The web of torn fibrils bled invisibly. He
soon faded away, and followed his sister to
a world of finer melody, fitted for natures
like theirs. Aeger 's Friendships of Women,
'Dante in Exile" is to be the subject upon
which Cambridge undergraduates will qom

Delaware evidently believes in the; literal

their degradation. .'.
