VISITING OLD BATTLE

There have been many visits by
veterans to old battIefields this year
Among these visitors is Gen. W. W.
Henry of Burlington, who writes a
very interesting letter to the Burling-
ton Free Press. He thus describes
a call on Gen. Sheridan: When I
put my head through the door at
General Sheridan's room in the new
War Department, | was saluted with
How are you, old Henry? ''How
are all the boys up in Vermont?
How is old Wells, Benedict and
Bigelow?" We shall always be sold

he must have to recollect all of US
little fellows way up in Vermont.

what Jealousy, malice, or ambition

commander of the 9th corps, General
Wright, by the hand. He is looking
as fresh as peach, although grow

Gen. Grant has published reasons
for change Of views in the Fitz John
Porter case. He says he fervently
believed that General Pope was
beaten because Porter disobeyed
an order sent him to attack Stone
wall Jackson in the rear. He finds
it a fact that the order was received
too late to he carried out, and that,
unknown to Pope, Gen. Lee had got
between Porter and the point he was
told to reach with a force twice as
large as his own, and that would
have been a sufficient Justification
for failure to advance, even if the
order had been received on time

A Milwaukee grain dealer estimates
the corn harvest at 1,621,100,000
bushels, or more than we had last
year. In 1880 the produced 1,717,-
435, 600 bushels of corn; but that
was exceptional, and the crop Of
1888 is highly satisfactory. The
leading corn states Of the present
year are Kansas and Missouri, with
a total of $50 million bushels, fol-
lowed by Illinois and Iowa with a to-
tai of 335 million bushels, while In
diana is credited with 100 million
bushels. The south bas produced
all the corn which it may need.

Mr. Moody successfully opened his
great mission at Islington, London,

The iron hall, built for the occasion,
proved a complete success in all its
arrangements, affording seating room
for $500 persons. All around on
the sides Of the hall appropriate texts
were displayed, and over the plat

Ex-delegate Cannon, of Utah, has
beel east. He visited Washington.
He talked freely. He said among
other things that the Edmunds law
had united all the Mormons to resist
the encroachments of the United
States authorities. There are 1877 ,0G0
Marmons, in Utah. and only very
small proportion Of them are polyga-
mists, but the rest of them stand by
the system. They all hang together.
The result of the recent election there
shows that the Mormon question will
have to be considered anew by Con-
gress. Professor Won Hoist has Civ
en-the-sveight- his authority to the
prediction that the Mormon problem
will be solved by the sword. In a
lecture at the Johns Hopkins Uniyer-
sity, he argued that as the two OPP
posing systems of freedom and slav-
cry produced an irrepressible conflict,
ending in war, SO he thinks that as
the Mormon community Is enclosed
more densely by a population hating
polygamy and its fruits, the demand
for armed interference by the Gov
eminent will grow more imperative.
But it is not likely that the polyga-
mists will carry resistance to that
point. When they see a decided de-
termination on the part of our people
to crush out polygamy at any and all
hazards, they will yield, but not be-
fore.

The Norwood lumber property was
bid in by a. o. Brainerd, acting in
behalf of the depositors of the st. AL
bans trust company, at S166,5O0.
Receiver Rich and the representative
of the stockholders committee, the
Messenger says, then agreed upon
the following propositions: First,
that Mr.. Brainerd should keep the
property and run it awhile, selling
off as much Of the personal stock as
he could, and adding a little new
stock this winter if it was found nee
essary to do SO in order to hel p the
sale of that on hand-the proceeds
of such sales to be turned over to the
trust company. Such a course
would reduce the cost of the proper
ty, it is thought, to about $75, 1000
that amount representing the cost of
the real estate. Then the property
should be divided into shares to be
taken by the unpreferred depositors
in proportion to their interest in the
trust company, and devoted to their
benefit; in case they consented to
such an arrangement, they would
have virtually a years option in the
matter. Second, that A. O. Brain
erd and Mr.. Cotton might have six
ty days option to take the property
and pay the depositors 100000 fo1
it. Under this arrangement Mr..
Cotton was to be released from liabil-
ity on any of his paper held by the
trust company and have no further
claim on the property. Third, that
if neither the first nor second propo.
sitions were carried Out-if BrainerC
and Cotton did not take the property
at 5000, 900, and the depositors fail
ed to form a syndicate to take the
property as mentioned within the
yeaI-then A. O. Brainerd was t.
take it for his own use. In case tht
property was disposed Of as above
for 5000, 900, the net result to The
depositors wonld be, the receiver
says. about $4,000, about 10000
being required to pay the balance o
preferred claims on the property, ant
the fees of the assignee.

A BRIDE WITH FORTUNE OF
$4,000, 000.-The marriage of John
f. Andrew, son of the war governor,
and Miss Harriet Thayer, daughter
Of the late Nathaniel Thayer, at
Boston Oct. 18th, was the social
event of the season. Trinity church
was thronged at noon when the cere-
mony took place. Within the great
auditorium was made the most mag
nifcent floral display ever seen in
Boston. The chancel was buried in
flowers, and over-spanning all was
an immense arch of rare exotics,
twenty feet high. The keystone was
q monogram of immortelles, the in
itials of the family name of the bride
being IN red and that of the groom
in white. The whole display cost
thousands of dollars. The company
present was of course brilliant and
fashionable. The ceremony was per-
formed by the Rev. Dr. Phillips
Brooks. The bride has just come
into possession of a fortune of over
eight millions, which is half the es-
tate of her father, who died a few
months ago, leaving $16,000,OOO to
his two children. An imposing re-
ception followed the ceremony, the
palatial residence Of the Thayers on
Mount Vernon street, Beacon Hill,
being thrown open.

''LOoK AT THE AsToRs," writes the
New York correspondent of the Philadel-
phia Record. "Only few generations
ago and they were butchers, selling meat
to anyone who wanted to buy it; now
they are considered the most exclusive
family in New York. The Astors. by the
way, will celebrate the centennial of the
arrival of the first Astor in New York
some time next month. Old John Jacob
Aston came over here from Germany
hundred years ago and set up butcher
shop in the Bowery, where he made
great deal of money. The brothers of
this original Astor were musical instru-
ment makers, and when the famous John
Jacob started in the fur business in New
York he had musical instruments as one
the departments of his trade. Between
flutes and furs he made about a quarter
of million dollars in sixteen years. They
were real merchants in those days and
owned their own ships, and Mr.. Aston
| used to load his vessels with furs and
send them to London; from London they
would go to China and return to New
| York with cargo of teas. 1t is said that
! he often Melted as much as $1,000 on a
| single importation of that article. The
greater part of his money, however, was
made by judicious investments in real es-
tate. The Astors bought property up
town when other people were buying be-

many as 800 houses in the most thickly
populated uptown districts. Most of
their houses are built of grayish vel
lowstone, and are devoted entirely to
renting. The Astor home is now on

Mr.. William B. Astor, the senior member
of the family, resides-and it is built of
the same colored stone as his tenant

B. Astor looks every inch the millionaire.
He is not pretty, but he is distinguished
looking, is tall and stout, with a rudy
complexion and closc-ctopped moustache,
and longish side whiskers that grow
straight down from the ears. But Mr..
Astor is very much afraid of getting toe
stout, and he used to walk all the way
from his office, which was in the lower
part Of the city-Prince street, I think

calling out for volunteers to come
out boldly on the Lords side, where
upon about 5000 men arose. The
incident caused much excitement.
The democrats are probably the
most seriously disappointed at being
brought too book in this fashion.
They had imagined that the people,
having called them to power, had be-
come partisan democrats, and were
ready to follow wherever the orga-
nization pointed the way. This was
especially true in this state. The
journals of the democracy, led by
the New York San, fully expected
to seize the national government on
the ground that the republicans had
been declared unfit for it. They
scorned to give the slightest evidence
that the democrats were fit. They
kept up day after day the idiotic and
monotonous cry, Turn the Rascals
Outn as if the danger Of letting 9TH
er and worse rascals in was one
which the people would never consid-
er. They dinned into the ears Of
the public another phrase ridiculous
in like degree, The Republican Par
ty Must Coz as if the people would
never pause for an instant to think
whether the democratic party would
be any better if allowed to come. ,
And meanwhile, the democratic poll
ticians did all they could to prove
that it would be great deal worse.
1t would seem incredible, if it were
not notorious fact, that a party
given brief trial of prosperity by
the votes OF opponents Disguised
with machine politics and spoils hunt
ing would straightway give itself
over to the grossest abuses Of ma
chine politics and the most violent
and vulgar chase after the spoils.
Yet this is precisely what the demo-
Gratis did,and what they will proba-
bly, not have another chance of do

physicians against the free use of al
