The Breaking up Of Monitors,

According to one of our contempor-
aries, the breaking up an old wooden
hull is not an easy matter, but it is
nothing compared with the task of dis
mantling disused ironclad, as some
contractors at Philadelphia, who have
been trying to break up an old monitor,
have found to their cost. A fire has
been burning briskly for several weeks
on board the old United States monitor
Dictator, at Tasker Street wharf, Phlla-
delphia, the contractors having been en-
deavoring with little success, to get rid
of the woodwork which lies firmly en-
bedded between the armor and the hull.
Nine months have been spent in the
work of tearing the old hull apart, with
the prospect of many more passing be-
fore the vessel will be reduced to old
iron and ready for the furnace. Several
thousand tons of material haye been
taken out of the Dictator, and yet there
are many more concealed in her massive
frame. AS soon as the remaining por-
ton is cut down to the waters edge, the
hull will be towed to shoal spot on the
Jersey side o! the Delaware river and
blown up.-[Scientific American.

Publishing Stock Brands.

! Though it would seem hat the advan-
tages of publishing stock brands require
no explanation we submit for the con-
sideration of our stockowners the fol-
lowing reasons. given by the New Mex
leo Stock Grower:
First.-It is the first business of the
rustler to know the brand of every
member and his range in the section of
country in which he operates, as it
would be the uttermost folly, and he
knows it, to steal cattle from one section
of the country and drive them to or
near the range of any member of the
association, as each man is supposed to
know the brands of his fellow members,
and would at once recognize them and
know whether they were in proper
hands.
Second.-It naturally follows that If
brands are not given the widest pub
iclty, the rustlers will have better op-
portunity for carrying Oil their ncfarious
business, for men in other sections,
where they must he driven, not being
familiar with the brands, will, on seeing
the stolen property, suppose that every
thing is all right.
Third-The publishing of cattle brands
in newspapers is not new idea, but
one that has favorably stood the test of
years. Twelve years ago every cattle
brand in Colorado was published in a
Puebloi paper, and to-day Colorado is
troubled less with rustiers than any
other section in the great cattle growing
belt. Kansas and Wyoming the same.
We say, and any intelligent cattle man
of the above named states will join US
IN maintaining, that the widespread
publication of brands in newspapers
has greatly aided both the associations
and the officers of the law in bringing
about this state OF affairs. To where
have these rustlers drifted? To New
Mexico and Arizona. The Texas ranch
men did not need any rustlers in their
buslness-they published their brands;
the brands and marks became known to
all, and tine rustlers> fed.
Fourth-The limited number of asso-
ciation brand books which are published
make it impossible for each cowboy to
be supplied with one, but through the
medium of newspaper advertisement
70 brands they will become thoroughly
acquainted with the same, if the publ
cation is made in paper with a general
circulation among cattle growers, and
the cowboy is the only man on the
ranch who has best facilities for noting
strange cattle on the range, and for this
reason he should know the brand of
every man in the country. or have an
opportunity of becoming acquainted
with them.
Fifth.-New outfits are constantly be-
ing started, and to prevent similarity
these men should have opportunities
for seeing the. brands throughout the
country.

GEN. WESLEY MERRITT,
Superintendent of the West Point Military
Academy.

Another year Of study began at the
West Point Military Academy, with the
present month, and the time is oppor-
tune to present portrait and sketch of
the distinguished soldier who is Super
intendent of that institution.
General Wesley Merritt was born in
New York in 1886. He graduated at
West Point in the class of 1860, and was
then commissioned brevet Second Lieu
tenant Of the Dragons. Two years after
he was commissioned Captain in the
Second United States Cavalry. At the
outbreak Of the war he was in Utah Ter
ritory, from whence he was summoned
to Washington, where he remained DUR
ing the winter of 1862. He was on the
staff of General Stoneman in his raid on
Richmond, in April. 1868. His promo
ton as Brigadier General of Volunteers
was given him in June of the same year,
shortly before the battle of Gettysburg,
where he distinguished himself. He
WIS breyeted Major for his bravery in
that important engagement. From 1863
to ls64 lie commanded division Of
cavalry in central Virginia He after
wards served under General Sheridan
in the Richmond campaign of 1864, and
was breveted Lieutenant Colonel and
later, Colonel, for his brillianl soldier
ship as displayed at this time. Merritt
was engaged in the Shenandoah cam
paign throughout, greatly distinguished
himself and was breveted Major Gener-
al Of Volunteers i'll recognition Of his
courage and ability. His part at the
battle of Five Forks and other engage
ments, also at the surrender of the
Confederate army at Appomattox Court
House, led to his being made Major
General. After the war he was
commissioned Lieutenant Colonel of the
Ninth United States Cavalry. This was
on July 18th, 1866, some SIX months
after his being mustered out of the Vol
unteer service. He has seen much
service since that date, chiefly in opera
tlons against the Indians. His Colonel
ship of the Fifth United States Cavalry
was given him July 1st, 1876. He assum-
ed active command in October, 1876.
and continued to exercise it until Au-
gust, 1882. The appointment of Super
intendent of the Mounted Recruiting
Service given him at that date, was
revoked and that of superintendent of
the Military Academy at West Point
and soldier in command at that station,
substituted for it. He assumed the po-
sition he now fills, in the early part Of
September 1882.
The whole nation feels great interest
in the West Point Military Academy,
where Young men are prepared by hard
study and the undergoing of severe mil
ita:y training, to serve their country as
officers in command of its brave de-
tenders. One cadet is assigned to
each Congressional district and territory
in the Union.

A Whale Caught by Telegraphic Cable.

A Whale Caught by Telegraphic Gable.
Mr.. Robinson Kendall, chairman of
the West Coast OF America Telegraph
Company, has communicated the follow
ing extracts from letters received from
that company's officials on the west coast
of South America, to the papers. The cap
tain of the comany's repairing steamer
writes:
"Having picked up q knots of cable,
and while continuing picking it up, an
immense whale came up to the bows
entangled in the cable. It seemed to
be about 10 feet in length. In its strug-
giles to get free the cable cut right into
its side, the whole of its entrails coming
out, and great streams of blol d. In its
last dying struggle it parted the cable
on the bow sheaves, and foated to wind
ward of the steamer, y
''The cable was twisted IN the form of
a wire rope for about two fathoms, and
in six different parts it had the appear
ance of having been bitten through suf-
ficiently to stop all communication.
There is no doubt the whale has
been the cause of the interruption"
Their manager also writes: "Thc cause
of the breakage of the cable, as has been
pointed out to you in Captain Morton's
report, was huge whale, which became
entangled in the turns of the cable, and
was held prisoner for seven days; the
interruption was unfortunate, but it is. at
least, satisfactory to know that the cable
did not give way naturally, and that
where picked up, the sheathing yarn
and core were found to be in an almost
perfect state Of preservation, in fact,
looking as good as on the day the cable
was first laid"

states. The possessions are situated in
the states of chihuahua and Durango.
The title to the lands was perhaps the
most ancient of any upon the American
continent. and this was the first transfer.
that had been made in 200 years.

growing coffee and corn and wheat in
the villages, and sheep and cattle in the
mountains.
The stipulated price of tie land is
81, ,000,O 900. An additional million is to
be invested in cattle, blooded horses
and agricultural implements. One-half
of this additional million, has already
arrived from London; and is now de-
posted in the City OF Mexico and Chi
huahua to the credit of the fiscal agent
of the syndicate. The estate consists Of
two immense ranches. subdivideds into
six contiguous haciendas, upon each Of
which there is village with an organ

embraced by the property is 27 Spanish
leagues in length, bv an average width
of nine leagues, or an equivalent in
English measurement of 20 by % miles,

these lands are under cultivation, the
crop consisting principally Of Indian
corn, wheat. barley, Irish and sweet
potatoes. In addition they are capable

delightful man. for he is a good listener.
l should say that careful deliberation
and infexible self-will were the two
chief traits of the man I talked to this
Sunday night. Any attempt to hurry
him to conclusion on a subject he was
considering would apparently be as
futile as to move him from course he
had determined to follow. He is not
the kind of a man to be unduly elated
should he be elected, nor will he be
overwhelmed if the ballots are against
him next November.
