Attitude of the q. A. X. AS to Grant
M"numents-Cbaffse Talks Removal
NEW YORK, Sept ~ Among the letter
which were received Friday by the secretary
of the Grant monument fund was one from
Gen W. T, Sherman, explaining
the attitude of the Grand Army
of the Republic in regard t.
the fund for the erection of the monu-
msnt at this city. 1t had been stated that
all members of the Grand Army would bs
required IT, devote their subscriptions to a
spscial monument to the memory OF
Gen. Grant, which would be erected
solely by that organization; there
fore, Gen. Sherman felt it incumbent upon
himsslf to explain the matter As follows:
seen. Burdett's order to the Grand Army
regarding their monument) is not inimcal
to the national monument at New York
city. We must count ON there being several
mon umentS."
1t was further intimated in Gen. Sher-
mans letter that citizens of New York must
bsar the main portion of the expense for
tue monument here, but he would not OPP
pnse the plan of securing subscriptions for it
from all sections of tn. country.
Ex-senator J. B. Cnaffse. father -in-law OF
U. 5. Grant, Jr., is authority for the state
ment that steps will be taken when Con-
gress meets to have Gen. Grants re-
mains removed to Washington Chaffee

the proper place for the generals tomb.

Referring to the above, the secretary -
the Grant Monument association said: "The

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Weakness is more opposed to virtue
than viceis.
Though flattery blossoms like friend
ship. yet there is a great difference in
the fruit.
People addicted to secrecy are so with
out knowing why. they are so not for
cause, but for secrecy's sake.
But If you are going to be a fool just
because other men have been. oh, my
son. what hopeless fool you will be.
As man may be eating oil day and
for want of digestion is never nourished,
so these endless readers may cram them
selves in vain with intellectual food.
Whatever busies the mind without
corrupting it has at least this use: that
it rescues the day from idleness; and he
that is never idle will not often be vicious.
If ideas and words are distinctly
weighed and duly considered, they would
afford us another sort of logic and critic
than what we have been hitherto ac-
quainted with.
There is nothing meaner than barbar.
Gus and cruel treatment of the dumb
creatures who cannot answer us or resent
the misery which is so often needlessly
inflicted upon them.
The everyday cares and duties. which
men cali drudgery, are the weights and
counterpoises of the clock of Iime, CIV
ing its pendulum true vibration. anc
its hands regular motion.
The human mind is always memorable
in demanding q motive for all human
actions 1t is only himself that each
man permits to act without one, and
avails himself of the privilege with as
tonishing frequency.

An Automatic Gun.

A gun which is capable of firing 600
rounds minute, and which when once
started keeps up this terrific fire without
the interference of any human agency, is
clearly one of the most effective and
deadly weapons of war which modern
ingenuity has devised. Such gun is
the Maxim self-acting machine gun, the
invention of Hiram s. Maxim. an Eng
lishman. In the working Of this gun
every round after the first is fired by the
recoil of the previous explosion. The
cartridges are carried in belt composed
of any number Of lengths, whichare con-
nected together as the cartridges are
used. One end of this cartridge belt is
placed in the gun mechanism on one side (;
the cartridges are picked out of it by
the automatic action of the gun, and the
belt and the cartridge-shelIs are elected
after firing. Every rccoil of the gun
brings the next cartridge into position,
forces it into the barrel. cocks the ham
mer, pulls the trigger, extracts the
empty cartridge case and elects it from
the gun, all these processes going on
with the almost inconceivable rapidity
represented by the firing Of 600 rounds
minute. At the moment Of firing the
rccoil drives the barrel back about three
fourths of an inch, and it IS this recoil
which directs the mechanism Of the gun
and makes its fire continuous. The gun
can be turned in any direction by turn
ing crank, and the rate Of discharge
can be accurately regulated by means Of
controlling chamber ingeniously
contrived 80 that the gun may be fired
rapidly or slowly, as desired. This belt
system of automatic firing has been ap-
piled by the inventor, not only to ma
chine guns, but to Che Winchester,
Martini Henry. and other rides fred
from the shoulder It's introduction In
practical military operations Is likely
to increase the already terrible dc&dli-
ness Of modern warfare.

The Big Sheen Ranches.

The wool growing interest of Montana
is almost exclusively confined to tho belt
of rich grazing country lying between
the Yellowstone and Missouri rivers and
extending westward to Fort Benton and
the headwaters OF the Teton and Sun
rivers. The sheep ranges proper are
divided into tlocks numbering from !, 900
to 20, 900 head. and men OF small means
are engaging in the business with certain
profit to themselves-many of them
starting with ], 1000 head or less. The
sheep growers arc proving more direct
and positive benefit to Montana than the
cattle men. for the reason that more
money is required to conduct the busi-
ness proftably, and it gives employment
90 a much greater number Of laborers.
Sheep require constant care and atten-
ton, while cattle require little, aud are
allowed TO roam at will until the round
inc up season arrives. All tho indica-
tons for 1886 point to season Of unex-
ampled prosperity for the stock growers

A story Of Wall Street.

An old woman, whose face has been
familiar for years about the streets as a
beggar, had been missing for some time
and the kind-hearted young fellows of
the oil board, who had known her well
marked her absence. After a while she
reappeared, looking much younger and
free from any crook in her back. Her
rags had given place a tidy dress Of
neat black cloth, and she nodded pleas
antly to old friends, who hardly dared
to believe they saw "Old Mag" before
them. She explained, however, that
she had begged for twenty years and
had saved persistently. While going
from Office to Office she learned the con.
dition of the marker, and she profted
by taking turns on her own account.

The "Mr.v Must Go.

tThe dudes and swells, especially
those who pattern after English style, are
beginning to drop the prefix Mr.. from
their visiting cards, y said fashionable
designer and card engraver to a reporter.
What is the reasonE'
"They say too many people are putting
Mr.. to their names who have no style, nc
prestige and no social elevation to war
rant it. They add that it is becoming
too vulgar and common, and they do not
propose to have the style of the general
masses. Hence they drop the prefix.
Ny experience in the business teaches mt
that the Americans proper, / mean those
who do not suffer from Anglomania, DC
not use the prefix in their cards to
great degree. It is merely a matter Of
taste with them. John Jacob Astor al
ways has Mr.. put on his visiting card
He uses small, neat white card. jay
Gould, Vanderbilt and men OF great

Uncle Toms Cabin at the Grand tonight
with two Topsys and full double company.
"a Midnight Marriage" a magnificent play
with gorgeous costumes and elegant scenery,
will be the attraction at Blacks tonight.
Gath at Blacks tomorrow night
James A. Herne's "Hearts of Oak" Com
pany will appear at the Grand next Wednes-
day evening. We copy the following from
the Troy Standard: The scene of the play is
laid off the New England coast, and the first
tsbleau, wherein the wreck and the signal
bombs bursting in the air are vividly de-
picted, is grand. In the grist-mill scene, in
PRODUCING a mill wheel in motion, with its
whirring sound, nature and art are artistical-
ly combined. 1t would be profitable if min
listers given to sweeping denunciation of the
stage would witness this play.
Dominick Murray is billed to appear at
Blacks on Wednesday evening. In his
drama, Escaped from Sing Sing" be appears
in FIVE different roles, viz: young English
Farmer, a Frenchman, Yorkshire Bill. q
Sport, and an Octogenarian. His supporting
company is an excellent one, and the citizens
of Springfield have indeed a rare treat in
store tor them. Popular prices will prevail
