 GENERALS SLOCUM, Rosecraus and others are very busy telling of the false steps taken by the Government, and es- pecially Secretary Stanton during the war. Mrs. Surratt was an innocent wo- man according to the former. and the soldier statesman gravely informs us that "the Union forces won 6 victory at Chicamauga" Why didn't these wlse- acre soldiers and statesmen come for ward and do justice to Mrs. Surratt while living instead of waiting twenty years to tell us of a great wrong that has been done her? With about two more such victories as Chicamauga, Jeff Davis would indeed have been the President of the SoutLern Confectionery, or King of the sunny South. Stanton was a very unpopular man among ccr- tain army officers who did not command the confidence of the Government dur ing the war, but 1T such officers had have had the full swing they deslrel, the United States Of America would have been numbered among the things of the past. These gentlemen may write history for themselves, but the history of the country will be a very record.

THE bust of Gen. Sheridan, which the
 Veteran league commissioned Howard Kretchmar to execute, is now finished in the clay. All who have seen the model express unqualified approval of it, both as a likeness and as a work of art. The strong, powerful head, with animated countenance,is grandly poised. Full of life and vigor, there IS an impos ing sense of power that marks the ideal soldier. Yet the sculptor has not per mItted fiery action to overcome the digniied repose demanded in plastic art. Gen. Sheridan considers it Q better DOT traIt than any of the several made in Europe during his tour abroad, and when the design in clay IS transferred to marble 1t will no doubt be con- mendable work, and one which will at- tract wlde attention.

LORD COLERIDGE expresses much sur prise that man of common appear ance, laboring man, who did not even have on a collar or a necktie, should en- ter the Secretary of Wars office and talk to him. "In England, said the noble lord "a man in bis walk of life could not get anywhere near the Duke of Cambridge or the Marquis of Harrington. The door, keeper would not allow him to pass" It is different in this country, and the man
 without a collar or necktie, or his son, may one of these days be Secretary Of War, or even President, and i, would not look well to deny such men an audience.

THE GREAT YICE OF NEW ENGLaND.
Forty thousand dollars worth oil chew
ing gum is gathered in the State ii
Maine every year. In Oxford county is
a man who makes it his business to col
iyct spruce gum. Every year he buys
from seven to nine tons. The gum Is
found chiefly in the region about Umba-
cog lake and about the Rangeley lakes.
A number of men do nothing else in the
winter season but collect gum. With
snowshoes, ak and sheboygan, On
which is packed the gum, they spend
days and nights in the woods. The
clear, pure Jumps of gum are sold in
their native state, the best bringing 81
per pound. Gum not Immediately mer-
charitable is refined by q peculiar pro-
cess. Sieve-ike boxes ere covered with
spruce boughs, on which is placed the
gum. Steam is introduced underneath.
The gum is melted, is strained by the
boughs, and then passes into wsrm wa
ter, where it is kept from hardening un-
til the packer takes it out, draws it into
sticks and wraps it in tissue paper, when
it is ready for market.
The gum meets with ready sale.
There is not village, town or city in
Maine where it is not in demand. In the
large mill cities gum has free sale. In
.Biddeford, Lewiston, Lawrence and
Lowell the factory girls consume large
quantities. It is said that in the lumber
camps gum is used as means OF extend
ing hospitality. After meal time the
host fills his own black clay pipe and
hands it to his guest. Later, clear
humps of spruce gum are placed before
tine visitor, and he is asked to take
chew. Maine produces $40, 600 worth
of gum in a year, some of which finds its
way to this market, from which it is dis
tributed to the various outlying factory
villages, where, as stated before, it is in
good demand. Spruce gum is adulter-
ated, and those who adulterate take the
trouble to fashion the pieces of gum to
appear like those taken in pure state
from the trees. The ingredient of adul-
teration is supposed to be the gum of
the pine tree.-ProUidenc Journal.

ANOTHER PREDICTION.

The end of the world is postponed
until 1886. A German paper asserts
that slab has been excavated at Ober-
emmel, which contains an inscription in
Latin which, being translated, means !:
"When Easter falls on St Marks
april 25), and Whit-Sunday on ST. An
thongs June 49,, and Corpus Domini
on st. Johns June 24, all the world
will call for help" This interesting
conjunction will take place five years
hence. Another authority for the date
of the worlds doom was the celebrated
prophet, DIR. Michael Nostradamus,
who was born Dec. IA. 1903, and died
at Salem, June "a, 1866.

4 COLD DAY F0R MAGIC.

Everybody has read the marvellous
stories of travelling magicians mystifying
people by exhibiting their skill in public
places. OF all the leading wizards such
stories are published, and in fact they
have the discernment to see that no
better advertisement of their perform
ances could possibly be obtained One
day Baron Seeman was riding on San
Francisco street car, and taking in his
fellow-passengers with the usual blandly
unconscious eye of the prestidigitateur,
when he suddenly turned and said
to a rough-looking young man on
the same side
"Pardon, my friend, but you will lose
your watch-the chain is hanging"
"Hain't got no WATCH" growled the
youth.
Excuse me, but you are mistaken.
Look there !"
The hoodlum, who unfortunately had
been at the theater the evening before,
and who had just recognized the magi-
clans face, took hold of the chain, pulled
the watch out of his pocket, stared at it
q moment, and then said:
"Why, to be sure how - careless
of me 'Bliged to you, Baron," and
stepping briskly from the dummy ranup
neighboring alley, leaving the Baron
staring after his stem-winder with
paralyzed expression. San Francisco

TIE ToKER or Innnax

The different buildings that make mp
what is known collectively as the Tower
have all histories, and all bloody cnes.
There is nothing but blood conneetel
with it. The identical headsman's Llock
is carefully preserved, with the TX he
used and the mask he wore when en-
gagged in his delightful duty. The ak is
shaped very like o butchers cleaver,
and the mask about the most fcndish
face that deyilish ingenuity could de-
wise. Ugly and devilish as it is, il VS.
probably an improvement on the face it
concealed. You are shown the thumb
screws and rack. The thumbserrws
would extort a confession from O dead
man and the rack-well, that is some
thing inconceivably devilish. You are
laid in box; ropes on windlasses are
tied to your ankles and hands; then the
windlasses are turned, inch by inch, till
your joints are dislocated. After endur-
ing the rack and answering questions
the way they desired, for man in that
apparatus would say anything for mo-
ments respite, you are hurried to the
block for fear you may recant as soon as
you get out of it. Then what was said
in the rack was put upon record as a
testimony ON which to rack and behead
other people. Those were the "good
old days of Merrie England"
During the reign of Edward III. 600
Jews were imprisoned in the dungeons
of the Tower for adulterating the coin
of the realm" The trouble with these
Jews was. they had too much of the
coin of the realm, and Edward too little.
The chronicler goes on to say that so
strong was the prejudice of the King
against these people that he banished
the race from England but, with the
thrift that distinguished Kings of that
day, he compelled them to leave behind
them their immense wealth, which he
gobbled, and their libraries, which, as
he couldn't read, he had no use for, and
they went to the monasteries. l sup
pose he sold them by the pound to the
monks who could read.
A large part of the great building is
now used as a great national armory.
Stored within its walls are 10000 rifles,
of the latest and most improved pat
terms, all in perfect order, even to the
oiling, and ready for use at a moments
notice. England is always ready for
war. It would be quick nation that
could catch her mapping. These MUIR
derous weapons looked cheerful by COM
parison with the barbarous tools the old
English used. After looking at the
battle-axes and fails and lances, it would
seem to be comfort TO be merely shot
to death with a Martini Henry rifle.
One could feel some sort of comfort in
going out via decent rifie-''al
The guards of the Tow are the
famous Beefeaters," and are al hab-
tied in the uniform of the time of Henry
VII, who instituted the corps The
present yoemen are all old soldiers, who
have distinguished themselves, and a
very pleasant time they have of it.
They don't have to drag women to the
block by the hair of their heads any
more, but spend most of their time in
standing around istlessly and eating
ham sandwiches, which is certainly bet
ter than their ancient employment

INDIAN B0Ws AND ARROWS.

One day, in the editorial roomof For.
est aud Stream, DR.. Carver, the re.
nowned shot, told what he knew about
bow and arrows:
1" You see," said DIR. Caryers as ...e
deposited whole sheath of brightly
feathered arrows on table, took off bis
outrageous felt and drew up a chair,
must be shooting something or other
all the time. III it isn't Winchester it's
bow and arrow.
Pretty they are, but most too fine
Fancy things, these arrows, for hand
ssme young ladies to shoot on grass
I'll Is at straw targets. Now, an Indian
arrow is a good bit longer-maybe thir-
ty-two inches-and when Sioux draws
it chock up to the bow it fairly huns
when lie let's it fly.
"An Indian arrow has grooves cut in
il behind the barb-that is to say the
ones used in hunting-so that the blood
can flow; otherwise the wood would
spoil and swell. The fighting arrows are
nasty things. The barb is SO put on the
shaft that when it hits you the steel, or
old hoop-iron, stays in the flesh when
you go to pull out the arrow.
"Dear sakes what ugly wounds I
have seen them make. An Indian boy
begins to handle light bow when he
toddles-maybe at or years. His
bow is taller than he is. He shoots at
most anything around the camp. When
he is 10 he uses sharp arrows. A boy
must be strong at Is to use a mans
bow.
"Now, white man who takes an In
dian bow for the first time has all he can
do to bend ii. IT wants some strength
but more knack. The bow is made
straight. When it is strung the cord,
even when in tension, almost touches
the bow. It is thick, some four and
half to five feet long-that is, their
hunting bow-and has extra stiffening
by having sinews pasted on it.
ST have seen We a-has- ka-that's
the Long Man, and he was the best of
Ogallala Sioux-kill an antelope with
his arrows at 125 measured yards.
We-shessa-hask a was nearly seven
feet tall, and good Indian. On horse
back, broadside to buffalo, I have more
than once known that Indian to send an
arrow through big COW. The arrow
hung out on the other side.
"The bow for horseback and for war
is trihe shorter, and, maybe, SITTER.
You do not draw the arrow to the eye,
but catch aim as I do when shooting
from the hip.
"That can only be acquired by long
practice. The string is drawn by the
clutch Of the whole fingers, though some
of the tribes use the thumb and three
fingers. The Long Man could shoot an
arrow in the air out of sight"
