THE BLUE AND GRAY.


One of the most entertaining books of
war annals yet published is a volume from
the joint pens of two distinguished clergy
men, one of whom served IN the Union
army and the other on the Confederate side.
1t is a compilation of incidents connected
with the late war. and most of them never
heretofore appeared in public print. 1t
also gives brief sketches of some of the most
distinguished officers of the war of both the
Union and Confederate armies. The book
is well written and is particularly interest
ing because of the novel as well as attrac-
tive style in which many of the heretofore
untouched phases of the civil strife are pre-
scented. The high standing of the two emf
nent authors sufficiently guarantees the ac-
curacy of the statements made In the book.
As we are getting away a quarter of a
century from the war. and the strife and
bitterness of prejudice it engendered are
fading out of view, people are seeking for
impartial statements and eagerly grasping
at everything which is connected with the
war and its history that they know comes
from authentic and unbiased sources. Re
Gently leading magazines have been giving
unusual space to the reports of battles and
expeditions written by officers who occu-
pied high positions on their respective sides.
These articles have had an immense circu-
alton, and have been read with intenses
interest. But there are other features of
the war which do not appear in official re-
ports that are of equal or superior
interest to the mass of the people.
The history of the private sol
diers has never been written. The men who
marched in the ranks the men who
shOuldered the muskets and charged bat
Teries, the men who died on the field and
in the camp by the thousands and hundreds
of thouSandS-theSe are the men we want
to know something about. The volume of
which we speak, and which is called The
Blue and the Gray, tells of life in the
camp, in the hospital. on the march and in
the field of battle. Mingled with its pathos
is touch of humOr, and many quaint
joke cracked by the campfire is related with
a naturalness that will bring back to the
minds of veterans the days ''lang syne"
most wildly. The widow of the late
KIT ADAMS, who was noted jour
nalSt in his day. is commissioned by the
publishers to sell the book.

said traveller from Minnesota. Il went
up there several weeks ago and was there
during the recent hot wave. l was looking
for place To go into business. In all the
hotels of both towns they keep thermome-
tiers on ice 20 show the visitors. That NAV
fool some people but it didn't go down with
me. Why, IN ST. Paul they have little maps
made on which the name Minneapolis
doesn't appear. On the maps in use in
Minneapolis no such place as st. Paul is
visible. The agent who had charge of sell
ing the life of Grant in Minneapolis started
his men at work first in Minneapolis. When
they got through there they went over To
~. Paul and were given the dead cut.
Nobody would even look at the book, be-
cause they had been 10 Minneapolis first.

advantage of copyright in both countries.
Out at Lake MinnetOnka the children
who play in the sand are divided into two
sets. One is from st. Paul and the
other from Minneapolis. They do not
speak rs they pass by. The girls turn up
their noses at each other and the boys throw
sand. 4 committee of citizens is already
ut work in each town getting up a scheme
in view of the coming census of 1890. 1t is
not known what direction their recommend
alton will take, though il is limited that at
the last census Minneapolis counted chick
ems not Matched, while ST. Paul put each
married man in rs three and each married
woman as two. The day before left there
a man told me that there would be no So
cial intercourse at all between the two
places if it were not for the matrimonial
schemes. Every st. Paul boy is taught from
infancy up that it is his duty To this
world To marry MmneapO-
lis girl. thereby reducing the
population of Minneapolis by one and in
creasing that of ST. Paul at least as many.
Every young man of Minneapolis is given
cook stove, parlor suit and a baby cab on
marrying st. Paul girl. If he marries
Minneapolis girl he gets nothing, and has
his wages cut down. On account of this
marrying. St Paul and Minneapolis are in
timately related. yOu see. and this relation
ship prevents any actual outbreak of hos
tilitieS. The relations of the intermaTried
families are a sort of mOther-in-law, don't
bOard-on-us kind, and to this day it isn't
safe for an unmarried man of one town To
be caught out after dark in the other. l tell

From the Lancaster (Pa.) New Era.
have been nine years in different prisons
and am convinced that the system OF pun
ishment is entirely false. Many are con-
victed of crimes which they never COM
mitted, and others that are guilty are
sentenced for a term of years-nOt to
cure them of their evil habits or reform
their lives, but to feed them revenge and
to associate them with the classes of men,
to add wickedneSS to their evil designs and
to lay plans for further crimes. For what
is the poor criminal to do after years of i'm
prisOnment on the expiration of his time,
turned out from the prison gate without
money, clothes, reputation or friends,
and with no settled point of
destination? But like ship
tossed on the raging pillows, is
the poor convict cast on a cold, bitter
world, to be beaten about on the vast sea of
life, and at last, exhausted in body, dis
tTacted in mind and sick at heart. he is led
to this last resOrt-tO commit another crime,
that the poor tired, shipwrecked frame
may drift back within the gloomy prison
walls, his only home. The only way to
put an end to this evil is to do away
with limited sentences, political
and mOneyed influences, and to
appoint cOln0tJJeG Oh christian
men to visit the prison and the prisoners,
and when they conclude that a man has be-
come repentant let them be empowered to
release him. But if he should again COM
NIT crime, then let limited sentences deal
hard with him. Let there be sympathy for
a man at his first downfall and not wait I'M
til he has become hero in crime. If the
public had shown me the sympathy at the
beginning of my wild career that they do
at the present time l would have been a
reformed man long ago. If the men who
are now fed revenge by unjust laws were
shown sympathy and kindness many of
them would become respectable members of
society, and the enormous expenses on the
county would soon relax into insignif-
canoe. and instead of building a new Jail,
the old one would have ample room for the
limited-Sentence criminals and for the in
mates of BummerS hall, now occupying one
room, huddled together like so many pigs in
pen. exposed to the intense heat of summer
and the cold blasts of winter.

Northwestern Crops.

The following is from advance sheets of
the Northwestern Miller:
The weather in the Northwest during the
past week mas been the most unfavOrable for
crops since they We're sOwn. Rain has fallen
almost every day and the sun has been in
tensely hot. Local storms in Da-
kota. Minnesota, Iowa and Wis
cOnsin have caused some dam
age, but the injury from these is insignif-
cant compared with the damage resulting
from rust and blight. Special reports from
Southern Minnesota and Dakota, covering
every wheat-grOwing county in that
section, show the damage to be
quite general. Various estimates "a
To the extent of the injury are given,
but it is impossible at this time to form
correct opinion OF the actual damage. That
can only be told when the grain comes
from the thresher. There is no doubt
that the grade OF the crop in the south
and eastern portions of the Minneap-
oils belt will be very much reduced.
The crop will be spotted. In some 10
calities there are fields uninjured, and
which present every appearance of produc-
ing a large yield of good, plump grain,
while others not far away are badly dam
aged. Ravages from chineh bugs have
proved serious in some places, but the re-
cent rains have stopped their work. In
North Dakota and Minnesota the crop has
been in excellent condition until within the
past four days. since when serious alarm has
been left because of the very unfavOrable
weather. Rain has been frequent all
through the Red river valley since Friday
last and in some portions of North Dakota
the weather has been wet for ten days. Las
Thursday and Friday were extremely no
days. Sunday night heavy rain fell and
Monday was very hot. This condition of
things cannot but prove hurtful to the
crops and farmers are becoming uneasy
over the outlook. Oliver Dalrymple tele
graphed to Duluth on Tuesday that rust
had appeared in his fields, and special re-
ports received from some thirty-fve towns
north of the Northern Pacific road all
report rust and blight, or predict it in
case the present weather continues. 1t
must not be understood that the
wheat crop of the Northwest Is
ruined, by any means. With cool, windy
weather during the next few days much of
the threatened damage will be ayeTted and
a large proportion of the crop saved in good

THE WEATHER.

From time immemorial the human race
has held a grudge against the weather
History fails to tell of a time when people
did not grumble because it was too hot or
too cold. or that it was too dry or too wet.
Grumbling at the weather has afforded
more genuine comfort to the human race
than anything outside of religion. And
with the farmer it has become part of his
religion. He regards it almost as essential
as family devotiOnS. But il is more or less
so with all classes of people. Nobody ever
knew man who lived long enough to find
winter that was short enough for him, or
summer that was long enough. One per-
son wants it all spring, while another
growls because it isn't all autumn. When
we want a fair day and it is a fair day,
from sheer force of habit we grumble because
our wish was gratifed. We are all chronic
weather grumblerS. Without any special
reason for it, we hold 4 grudge continually
against the weather. We know it. we feel il.
and our cOnsciences Outlines reprove us for
it. What qualification it is, then. and
what relief to conscience and a STAY to
our convictions, when we do have a real
good cause to growl because the weather is
out of joint The only consolation we de-
rive from these hot days. as we lie in the
shade and wipe the perspiration from our
brows, is. that we are UNSUITABLE grumblers.
If there ever was time when an individual
had right to growl, this is the time. Such
splendid opportunity for conscientious
grumbling only comes once in lifetime.
Let us be up and doing. If you meet
man on the street, and in growly sort of a
way he remarks that it is hot, slap him OH
the back in an encouraging sort of a way.
and tell him you are ready to stand by him
in that assertion. Make him feel that he
is right about it, and encourage him TO re-
peat the remark to the next man he meets.
Put his conscience at ease in relation to the
matter. Make the same remark yourself to
every person you meet. You have a duty
to perform in this matter. We have Just
cause of complaint against the weather this
time, and let us make the most of it. alt
is hot" Pass it around.

THE NATIONAL MONUMENT.
Plans Perfected for Securing Funds
for That Purpose.
Arrangements for the G. A. R.--The
Burial in Riverside Park.
Gen. Burdette's View.

WASHINGTON, July 29.-Gen. Burdette,
commander-in-ehief of the G. a. r., who
is one of the gentlemen selected by meet
ing of citizens held last night to present to
the family of Gen. Grant resolutions pro-
testing against the inteTment of the de-
ceased general in New York, has declined
to accept the mission. He says that he had
declined to attend the meeting or serve on
a committee. He had already put himself
on record in favor of Washington as the
burial p@e and any further expression by
him might look like improper persistence.
Gen. Beal and Gen. Cresswell, who were
appointed as the other two members of the
committee, are out of town, so their intention
cannot be learned. Gen. Burdette will
tonight mail letter to all department
commanders of the G. A. r., suggesting
that as far as possible the Grand Army de-
partmentS attend, and requesting them to
advise him promptly of the number of mem
bers likely TO attend the burial services. He
was unable at present to furnish an eSti-
mate of the number of members of the G..
A X. who would participate in the SER
vices, but believed that it would be very
large, as there were many posts in the cities
and towns near New York that would be
fully represented, exclusive of the large
number in New York city and Brooklyn.
Fred h. Bracket, assistant adjutant gen.
eral and one of Gen. Burdette'S aids, will
go to New York in a day or two to arrange
the details of the procession, and Gen. Bur
dette will follow him early
