DEER LODGE, MONT, August Is.
General Terry, Commanding Department 81. Paul:
l have just arrived. The wounded are
getting along well, thanks to the prompt as
sistance sent by the citizens of Helena, Deer
Lodge and Butte. They will reach here in
three days. Howard left the battlefield in
pursuit day before yesterday. Only fifty of
his infantry were up. l sent with him three
officers and fifty men. l met N~orwood's
company of the Second Cavalry on the Big
Hole, and he is probably with Howard by
this time. Cushing's two companies of
artillery passed here this morning, in
wagons. l have ordered them to push down
the stage road at forty miles a day, if their
stock will stand it. Have also telegraphed
the commanding officer at Fort Hall to start
some of the Bannocks up toward the Lemhi
and mountain passes to get information as
to which way the Nez Perces' are heading.
They can not travel rapidly with their
wounded, and the next time they are struck
they will be ruined.
Many thanks for your cordial recognition
of our services in your dispatch of the 18th,
received yesterday.
[Signedl GIBBoN, Commanding.

THE Sun continues to be the strenuous advocate Of
reform and retrenchment, and of the substitution
of statesmanship, wisdom, and integrity for hollow
pretence, imbecility, and fraud in the administra-
ton of public affairs. 1t contends for the govern
ment of the people ~ the people and for the people,
as opposed to government by frauds in the ballot
box aud in the counting of votes, enforced by mill
tary violence. 1t endeavors to supply its readers
a body now not far from q million Q ~fsouls-with the
most careful, complete. and trustworthy accounts
of current events, and employs for this purpose e
numerous and carefully selected staff of reporters and
correspondents. Its reports from Washington, es.
pecially, are full, accurate, and fearless; and IL
doubtless continues to deserve and enjoy the hatred
Of those who thrive by plundering the Treasury or
by usurping what the law does not give them. while
it endeavors to merit the confidence of the public by
defending the rights of the people against the en-
croachmentso of unjustifed power.
The price Of the daily SUN is SIS cents a month, or
$3.50 q year, post paid /; or, with the Sunday edi-
tion, S7.7O a year.

At What Age Should Forest Trees

At udl Age SuUulu IOTtSt Illus
be Cut?-Much depends, says the COun-
try Gentleman, on the uses to which the
wood is to be applied. Taking the
greatest age given as one extreme, and
the youngest for which timber is used
in this country as the other, we have
ages all the way from one hundred years
down to eight or ten. For purposes of
fuel, where the experiment has been
carefully made in this country it has
been found most profitable to cut all off
at intervals of eighteen years, and vary
ing according to soil and kind of trees
to twenty-five years. In some places it
might be more profitable to cut young,
densely growing trees of certain kinds
for hoop poles at a much less period.
Much greater ages are sometimes recon-
mended, the wood being used for val
liable purposes in manufactured ar
ticles. The ash, it is said, may be prof
itably cut at from thirty to forty years,
to be used in the manufacture of agricul-
tural implements. The Scotch fir,
larch and spruce are most advantage
ously cut at from twenty to thirty years,
although in some localities a much
higher price may be obtained for certain
special purposes at a greater age. None
Of these would be likely to pay, ifgrown
long distances from market, railway
stations or seaports. Elm should never
be cut except for large timber or at an
age of eighty or a hundred years. The
linden is of little value before sixty
years. Sycamore should be about one
hundred, as well as chestnut. The oal
is of slow growth when young, but grow;
faster after thirty years. 1t is exten
sively used for agricultural implements
furniture, boat and ship-building, etc.
and should be allowed to grow till it ha
matured plenty of heart wood, whicl
should not be less than about one hun
dred years old. Wood which is use,
exclusively for the manufacture of char
coal would yield a larger amount, durinj
a series of years, by close planting an,
more frequent cutting, the second growt
springing up and taking the place of tn
first.

p FOR THE FARM.

Shrinkage of Green Grass.-A cor
respondent of the New England Farmer
writes to that journal to ask: "How
much does green grass shrink from the
time it lis cut till it is thoroughly cured
in the NOW? Do the different varieties,
as timothy, redtop, clover, orchard and
brook grass, vary much in shrinkage? l
am proposing to sell a portion of my
grass standing, and would like to know
how much it usually shrinks, in order
to determine its present value as near as
practicable" To these questions the
editor answers: Every green or over
ripe grass will shrink more than that
which, just in the height of blooming,
1t is very easy matter to cut a sample
of grass, and after weighing it, dry by
fre-heat, and then re-weigh. This will
determine the shrinkage for that speci-
men. A few hours only are required to
dry grass over a cook-stove. The shrink
age will be found to range from seventy
to eighty percentum."

| tion. Granting that their meetings are
secret, it Is no more than the privacy
of a family. Their signs and counter
signs are nothing more than means of
assurance of membership in that family,
emitting them to admission to that fam
lily meeting. The times, place and OBJ
ject of these meetings are all perfectly
known and publicly advertised. And
though they may sit with closed doors
as to the outside world, no harm can
come from such private deliberations.
AS an instrument Of life insurance
these associations are bound to spread.
II properly and judiciously managed,
| their trusts faithfully and honestly ad-
ministered, there is no reason why they
should not succeed in business sense.
We have seen life insurance companies,
Incorporated under rhigh-sounding titles,
requiring very considerable sums as
premiums TO be paid at once by the in-
sured, extend their operations over the
whole continent. Their administration
is attended by enormous expenditure,
for office rents, otticial salaries OF prince
ly amounts, and the thousand incidents
Of expense that swell into vastness. ALI
this must be met by enhancement OF
premiums, and consequently at the cost
of the insured. But these mutual aid
societies, in insuring none but their OWN
mem bership, have none of this eXpen-
slye machinery to maintain, none oil
these enormous salaries to pay. Their
relations are not effected through re-
mote and unreliable agencies, but are
personal and direct. In a business view
Of the matter, these are very important
considerations, and all rebound to the
advantage OF the yolun .ary association
system.
Moreover, recent developments as to
the unfair aud III faithful dealings and
conduct OF the officers Of chartered Life
Insurance Companies, the squaudering
OF the Iunds held in trust on their pri-
vate speculatlons, their arrest and al
raignmeut as criminals for perjury COM
mltted in swearing to false exhibits,
their flight as fugitivos from Justice, go
to shake public confidence i'll all such
Institutions. People, desirous of secur-
ing, IN case of death. something Tor their
families, naturally turn to other instru-
ments OF lite insurance, whose preten-
sions may be more humble, but their
promises more reliable. Aud thus it is
coming to pass that these mutual aid Sc
cieties are regarded faYoraUIy as
such instrumentaIIties; and they
certainly are capable of doing much
good in this regard, especially among
such as do not aim to insure For very
large amounts; and who dread law suits
with powerful corporations to collect
insurance under Intricate and technical
policies, abOunding in limitations, ex
ceptions, conditions and provisos.

MUTUAL AID SOCIETIES AND LIFE
INSURANCE

The natural desire among men oil
moderate means to make provision tor
those dependent upon them Tor supp9r!,
in case OF death or accident 10 health
has led to the institution OF numerous
systems of mutual aid for tfecting this
most generous purpose. Most Of these
organizations have other and special
aims to suDserye, for which the cooper
alton OF numbers is required and a
numerous membership is invited. And
while prosecuting the main and essen
tiaI purpose Of their organization,
whether it be tor Individual interests
and common improvement, or for general
moral reform, there has come to be
superadded, OF attached, the plan Of
Rfrerding pecuniary aid to the members
IN any case OF neod, and OF extending
such aid to their families In case Of
death.
To effect this benevolent purpose an
endowment fund, of course, becomes
necessary. AS the creation of such a
fund by such men as mostly constitute
these Orders can not be Immediately Of
large donations, assessments are made
in divided amounts and by equal stated
contributions. These periodical INSTALL

comes great; i'll some instances, under
economic management and judiclous in-
yestment, actually enormous. One OF
these Orders OF workingmen in England
is reported as having met all its obliga-
tlons and accumulated fund OF no less
than $I5 000O0). A great length OF time
was, OF course, required to bring about
his result; but 1T shows the capability
Df the System tor accomplishing the re-
suit.
From the granting OF pecunary aid in
cases of sickness or bodily inf nifty Of
member. and burial expenses in case
Of death, the plan came to be enlarged to
IhI S0tOhs Vi 6laHlIhS SpeCIAC buul,
based upon the amount contributed by
each member In his own case, to the
widow Of such member when deceased,
or to such other beneficiary as lie might
direct. This is virtually life insur-
anoe. 1t is true that in some or the more
ancient orders, as in the Masonic Or
der, care Of the widow and children of
deceased member, II in need, is enjoined
and faithfully observed. But this stands
more in the nature OF a charity, while
the other becomes a lawful right that
may be legally enforced. The former is
in the nature Of voluntary grant; the
latter is binding obligation by con-
tract.
There can be no doubt but that such |
voluntary associations for mutual i'm

lection, Tor mutual pecuniary relief in

death, have done and are doing much to

KISSING Day IN RUssIA-A curious
Eastern custom prevails among the
Russians Of all grades of society.
The fashion is to present an egg to a
friend the first time you meet hirn or
her--most generally her-after twelve
o'clock on Easter night. The one
who presents the egg exclaims:
"Christ is risenw The other answers:
as he risen, indeedp and three
kisses follow. OF course the second
one has all egg to present in return.
Timid SWANS eagerly take advantage
of this custom to obtain the privilege
of embracing some fond object Of
whom they would otherwise be too
bashfnI to approach. These eggs are
of all kinds-some simple hens eggs,
giIded or silvercd, or colored, red,
blue or violet; some sugar eggs, en-
bellIshed with all kinds OF taEcdul de-
signs. There are also diminutiye
gold, marble, or simple wooden eggs;
others are large enough to. serve as
ladies' travelling bags; or they may
be placed on stands to serve as use
ful ornament; hens may sit on nest
full Of bonbon eggs; and some may
be fitted up inside with set Of chill
dren's to- There are eggs, in fact,
arranged in every imaginable materi-
al. On this day hundreds Of thoa-
sands Of these change hands-in ST. Pc
tersburg alone, and the sum spent In
their purchase must be prodigious.
