 Mary Ann Birch died at the residence of her son. MT. Norman B. Glover, at the re-
 markable age of about 102 years. Mrs.

 all of the time that she has been residing
 with her son, she received the closest at .tention and best of care, Mrs. Birch was

WEST POINT.
Exercises Attending the Graduation of
the First-Class Cadets-The Presi-
dents Address.

WEST POINT, June 13.-About one thou
sand persons were present at the exercises
attending the graduation of the frst-class ca
diets. At eleven o'clock forenoon the cadets
were marched to point IN front OF the plat
form. Upon the platform were seated Presi-
dent Hayes, Generals Sherman, Sheridan,
Scho6eld, the secretary of war, and others.
In the rear sat Mrs. Hayes and lady friends.
When the President appeared he was ap.
plauded, and stepping forward, bowed, and
was again applauded, and formal address
to the cadets was delivered by Rev. James
Lewis, of the board of visitors. When Mr..
Lewis concluded the band played national
air, and then General SchoGeld introduced
President Hayes, who was received with loud
applause. When quiet was restored, he
spoke In substance as follows:
My friends, the very limited opportunity
that we have had to make ourselves acquaint-
ed with the advantages of this interesting
spot does not authorize me to say much to
these young gentlemen about to leave, but
what we have seen enables us to speak with
satisfaction and admiration of the thorough
ness and excellence of instruction given by
this institution here. Something more than
learning is required. The training is that
which leads up to the best specimen of Amer
lean manhood; and so, young gentlemen, l
feel authorized to say to you that we are deep
ly interested IN you, and we sympathize with
you. Last night, as we heard upon the
parade those familiar tunes of Home, Stoeet
Home, and Auld Lang Syne, we were all in
sympathy with you. l merely add that as
you leave here, we, your countrymen, feel
confident that, In any emergency, you are
ready with alacrity to do your part
When the President concluded he was
again loudly applauded. The secretary of
war, Attorney General Devens, and General
Sheridan, each made brief and happy ad-
dresses. Diplomas were then presented, and
as each cadet came forward he was greeted
with loud applause. The exercises closed
with benediction.

sition l could not repress my sense Of the
ridiculous.
ssMr. Asher then said that Levisse was
deeply impressed with the magnitude OF the
crisis the Presidential question then por-
tended; that he felt the stupendous effect his
single vote must exert; that the Presidency
of the United States literally rested upon his
vote; that it was the biggest thing that the
most vivid imagination could conceive; that
though he was convinced Mr.. Tlden had
fairly carried Louisiana, yet if he dared vote
for him the Republicans would never let him
live in the State; that he had large family
to provide for; that he would like to go to
England, and that two hundred thousand
dollars would make him easy and comforta-
BILE, and would somewhat compensate him
for his exile in a foreign land.
'sTo all of which | answered that the sum
was much too large; that the best | thought
could be done was 70 fully protect Levisse's
life, and that probably could raise fund OF
fiftv thousand dollars 10 enable HIM to place
himself beyond the reach of Republican as
sassins if he was disposed to do what he con-
scientiously believed was right.
''Mr Asher then left me, stating that he
would call again at my Office the next morn
ing at nine o'clock. At the appointed hour
he came to my office and reported that
Leyisse had disappeared; that he had waited
for him, and afterward had hunted for him.
but without success. Mr.. Asher then went
to the customhouse, and returned at half
past ten o'clock, saying that Levisse was in
the customhouse, under the surveillance of
the Republican leaders, and that no one was
allowed to see HIM. From that moment until
he cast his vote for Hayes and Wheeler,
Levisse was never allowed to get out of their
sight. This is absolutely the whole story, y

CHRIsrs RULE APP1,pn

The Western AdU0cdte inquiries whether
spiritual christianity is to-day on the ascend
ing or the declining scale? In answer, it ex-
presses the belief that there were never before
50 many spiritual christians; never so many
feeling the comforting presence of Christ,
feeling the need of his walking with them as
be did with the disciples on the way to EN-
maus; never so many turning from things
earthly and anchorinR the soul to things that
never pass away. Why does the Advocate say
1t belieres this? Why not have that certain
ty that follows the application of the rule by
which Christ has taught US to judge of the
progress the world is making from evil to-
ward good? That rule is "the tree shall be
known by its fruits" On this continent the
Adsocate can apply the rule in the case of
the Indians, the race left for US to christian
izs; to the case of those Chinese who have
been brought strictly within the influences of
our christian land; of the foreign population,
who came here with all their superstitions
about them. Has religion been presented in
way that has won disciples and repressed
unbelief? To go within the very sanctuary
itself-do christians let men know they are
Christ's disciples by their love toward each
other, a love that dominates sectarianism and
impels christians 10 worship in the same tenn
pie and commune at the same altar, because
they follow JesusP or do they seek different
churches and stammer before various affairs
at the bidding of sectarianism? There may
be a great deal of the Adrocate's spiritualism
and many feelers of Christ's presence, walk

TOO MANY FRIENDS.

The best of men and the holiest of causes
have often had reason to pray, defend me
from my friends" The leader of the mob
that violates law and destroys property pro-
claims himself "the friend of freedom" The
communist that murders the minister he has
dragged from the altar, that dims the blue
of heaven with the smoke of incendiary fires,
and declares wholesale theft virtue, Is "a
friend to human liberty" The atheist that
scorns truth and derides the most sacred in
huences that purify the human soul, is de-
vout in one thing-he is devoted to hber-
ty." The result of the efforts of these
friends" is that the despot, the tyrant,
the vIolator of human rights, the usurper
that dictates to human conscience, the auto
crat that presumes to interdict the expression
of public opinion, find in these friends
their most effective allies and their most pow
erful implements. Liberty has warred upon
right and truth, therefore they war upon lib
erty-such is their cry. In Germany the
government is preparing laws to abridge the
Liberties Of the people, because "a friend to
liberty" tried his best to murder a fellow
creature for no other reason than because he
was the head of his country's government.
In other lands the cry is going up for stricter
laws, for more power being placed in the
hands of the aristocratic and wealthy classes,
in order that property and the public welfare
may be protected from ''the friends of lib
erty." The lovers of human freedom, of
national liberty, of government by the will
of the people, of democratic republicanism
have, more than all others, reason to oppose
these friends of liberty" Too often has the
sincere patriot reason to exclaim: "God defend
liberty from its friends" and to cry with
Madame Roland: so, liberte, qHelles crimes
sotlt commits en- ton nomi"

Expected.

Idaho, dispatch says the Indians at Jupiter
mountain will be able, tomorrow, to effect a
junction with those who have left Molhear
reservation, and in connection with the dis
affected Piutes and Shoshones will number
about six hundred effective men. A. daugh-
ter OF old Winnemucca, chief of the Piutes,
was arrested in the Jordan valley, while at
tempting to smuggle ammunition to the hos
tiles. Some of the Bannoeks have returned
to Fort Hall. Farmers have deserted their
homes for hundred miles around Winnie
mucca.
dispatch says Fort M'Dermott is garri-
soned by few infantry men, and might be
overpowered should the Indians attack it in
force. The refugee settlers have gathered
there for protection.
A Boise City dispatch says: General
Howard arrived this morning. He soon
learned the situation, and came to conclu-
sion. He will mass his troops at Sheep
Rancho, on the Winnemucca road, and take
the field himself, and make his headquarters
temporarily at the rancho, where he can use
the telegraph. Colonel Whipple, in command
of two companies of cavalry, now this side
OF the Payette, will be turned on the Middle
ton road, cross Canon ferry on the Boise riv-
er, and reach Johns ferry on Snake river,
and then over the French John road to Camp
Lyons and thence to Sheep Rancho. Major
Downsy and Captain M 'Gregor, with one COM
pany of infantry and one company from
Odup I1drH0y are expected al SnaK0 river To-
morrow, and will keep up the south side of
the river and take Sucker creek road to Sheep
Rancho. Major Stewart, in command. Of
eight companies of infantry, numbering
about two hundred and fifty, now within
thirteen miles of Baker City, will go up the
south side of Snake river and follow Major
Downey and M 'Gregor's trail unless the stu
alton changes and other orders follow before
they arrive. General Grover will go to
Big Camas prairie with Captain Bender's
company, which will probably arrive here to-
morrow. He will meet Colonels Sanford and
Summer, with two companies of cavalry,
there. and they will scout the country. The
commanding officer at Fort Hall has been re-
quested to send force this way direct to
meet General Grover on the Big Camas
Colonel Bernard is on his way to Sheep

Fresh Water from salt.

The Boston Traveller says: "The idea of
drawing fresh water from the bed of Dor
chester bay, by sinking shaft through the
salt water to depth of sixty feet, is some
thing wonderful to realize, but it has been
putin operation by Mr.. James M. Smith, at
the Suffolk brewery, and proves a success.
Ihe tube was driven about nine hundred feet
from the brewery, and the water is pumped
from 1t by steam at the rate of from seven
hundred to eight hundred barrels dav. The
temperature of the water is ffty-two degrees,
while that of Lake Cochituate in summer is
about eighty degrees. To preserve malt
liquors they must be thoroughly cooled as
soon as brewed, and during the hot season
the cost of ice for this purpose is very
large. To partially save this expense, the
hot beer Is irst brought to a lower tempera-
ture by a constant flow of water, which runs
through coils of pipes within the cisterns, and
the colder the water the less ice will be nee
essary to bring the beer to Temperature of
forty degrees, which is the proper condition
for it to remain until of suitable age for use.
1t will thus be seen that the new supplv of
water possesses an advantage over Cochituate
water of twenty-eight degrees, by which a
saving of three thousand five hundred dol
lars per annum Is made in ice Another saw
ing Is IN the cost of the water, fully two thou
sand dollars being saved IN this particular.
making total saving of five thousand Eve
hundred dollars annually by an OUTLAY of SIX
hundred dollars. The water is colder and
purer than Cochituate and very palatable."
