The Great Generals of the War.


Cleveland Sunday Journal.
The only two great commanders now
living, says the Philadelphia Times, who
faced each other in making the thrilling
and crimsoned annals of the late civil
war are Gen. William T. Sherman and
Gen. Joseph E. Johnston. Grant met
Lee, Joseph and Sidney Johnston, Beau
regard, Buckner, Bragg, and Pemberton
in battle as chief commanders, and of
them JOSEPH E. Johnston, Beauregard
and Buckner, survive.
Meade, who met the terrible shock of
battle at Gettysburg, was borne to the
City of the Silent within short time of
the imposing pageant that committed
the rem aims of Lee to the mother dust;
and Thomas and Hood, who fought the
last great battle of the war at Nashville,
both sleep the dreamless sleep of the
dead
Sherman and Johnston alone remain
of the great commanders who locked
horns with each other in the flame of
battle. Their campaign from Chatta>
nooga to Atlanta. and from Atlanta to
the sea, was the most brilliant of the
war, and they are the only two great
com manders who are left to sit down
and talk their battles over, as they often
do in the heartiest good fellowship.
Of the many commanders of the hero
ic Army of the Potomac none remain
with the exception of Gen. Mcclellan.
Scott, Mcdowell, Burnside, Hooker,
Meade and Grant, who in turn command
ed that magnificent army, have all gone
to join the great majority. and Long,
street is the only one of Lees great
lieutenants who fingers with the living.
Jackson, Hill, Ewell and Stuart. who
were in every great conflict of the Army
of Virginia, rest with their great chief
tain of Arlington.
Joseph E. Johnston and G. T. Beaure-
gard are the onlg surviving confeder-
ate commanders who led great armies
to battle, and they are whitened by the
frosts of time. Johnston has been in
congress, and is now at the head of the
national railroad bureau.

FLOWERS In JAPAN.
Proposing Marriage Through Their
Medium.

In houses wherein reside one or more
daughters of marriageble age an empty
flower pot of an ornamental character is
encircled by ring and suspended from
the window or veranda by three light
chains. Now the Juliets of Japan are,
of course, attractive, and their Romeos
as anxious as those of other lands. But
instead of serenades by moonlight and
other delicate ways of making an i'm
preston, it is etiquette for the japanese
lover to approach the dwelling of his
lady bearing some choice plant IN his
hand, which he proceeds to plant in the
empty vase. This takes place at time
when be is fully assured that both moth
er and daughter are at home, and need
scarcely say that neither of them is at all
conscious that the young man is taking
such liberty with the flower pot outside
their window. 1t is believed that a
young lover so engaged has never been
seen by his lady or by her mamma in
this act of sacrilege-at any rate, my
friend tells me that during his long res
idence in Japan he never heard of any
one being detected in the act or inter-
fered with in any way. The fact is, this
act of placing pretty plant into the
empty flower pot is equivalent to for
NAL proposal to the young lady who
dwells within, and this Eastern fashion
is, as think, a most delicate and harm
less way of proposing to lady. The
youthful gardener having settled his
plant to his mind retires, and the lady is
free to act as she pleases. If he is the
right man she takes every care of his
gift, waters it and tends it carefully
with her own hands, that all the world
may see, in word, that the donor is
accepted as a suitor. But if he is not a
favorite, or if stern parents object, the
poor plant is torn from the vase, and the
next morning lies limp and withered on
the veranda or on the path below

gerry the Last Resort-A Telling Letter.
Here is a fact for you to think over, viz:
Medical science proves that diseases, no mat
procede from comparatively small causes 1t
Is n this reason that some single medicines
relieve or cure SO wide range OF ompla1nts
some of them appearing almost opposite In
their natures, when q medical preparation
acts at once upon the digestive and urinary
organs. and also puri1es the blood, the list
of difficulties subject to its control is aston
ishing; but while many things are said to
posiess this power, those which iualiy do
exert 1t are very rare.

The statement made in our local columns
in an interview by the Rev: DR.. Ditzler to
the effect hat General Grant was an old
line Southern Wing before the war varies
from the general statement. It has always
been believed that before the wal the Gen
eral was a Democrat and, indeed, that he
remained SO until he was nominated forthe
Presidency by the Republicans. According
to a recent story, it was a race between the
leaders Of the two parties as to which
should capture the General to head their
ticket. Thurlow Weed, accidentally learn
ing OF the purposes of the Democratic
leaders, rushed to New York, called a meet
ing OF the leading Republicans and rendered
through them the nomination to the Presi-
dency to the old hero. thus outwitting the
Democrats. 1t was clear to SO keen and
shrewd a politician as Weed that, no mat
ter which party should nominate the great
soldier-then as now the idol OF the people
the party which did SO would be sure to
win. These facts seem to be well authenti-
Gated and a part of history. Is not DR..
Ditzler mistaken in his statement?

What in the world has become OF Hugh
McQuaid?-New North Vest.
There is only one German newspaper in
Montana-Der Montana Argus, at Helena.
The Chicago Current has secured the
services of Professor David Swing as a
special editorial contributor.
The circulation of the Liverpool Daily
Post, the Liverpool Weekly Post and the
Liverpool Echo reach ESQ., 92 per week.
They are published by the same firm.
A reporter has recently been discovered
with SIC, OOO'to his credit. His name is
E. B. Haines, and he lives in Harrisburg,
Pa. Some persons may be astonished to
hear that, with all his other qualifications,
he was a poet.
The offices of the London Times have
been SO altered and rebuilt that they are
u~nrecognizable by any one who saw them
a few years ago. The circulation is not
thought to be now over $4,000, but the
advertisements show no decline.
The Gothic Record man down in Colorado
has had a pleasant time during the winter.
He has had his paper printed at Crested
Butte all winter because the Gothic office
got lost in the snow early in the season.
The snow had settled sufficiently so that
the office was located last week by the
chimney appearing above the surface.
Joseph B. McCullagh, of the St. Louis
Globe-Democrat, claims to have originated
the system of interviewing people for news
papers, and to have been the first inter
viewer. He say that the first veritable
interviews published in the United States
were gained by him from President Andrew
Johnson, and that they were legitimate and
important, the President clearly under
standing that his remarks were to be
printed.
A. Oakley Hall, formerly editor of the New
York Leader and afterward Mayor OF New
York, and still later city editor of the
World and now London correspondent of
the same paper, is said to have become
disgusted with his legal practice at London
and to contemplate starting an American
newspaper in that city. If he makes it as
lively as he made the New York Leader,
Henri Labouchere will have to look to his
laurels. Oakley has frightened with age,
and he certainly has more newspaper
judgment now than he had while Mayor of
New York.

The Deer Lodge New North West has the
following to say Of Butte: "From many
sources we learn that Butte is TO- in the
fullest tide OF prosperity it has ever had.
The developments OF the past few weeks
have been a revelation of marvellous rich
ness ever to the best informed of it's miners
and business men. It is the best and most
productive mining camp in the world to-
day, and every days development demon
strates greater resources. 1t is confidently
believed by men OF judgment that Butte
will grow to a population Of 10000 to
$4,000 people. We generalize and state
this view of the camp as a disinterested
party. Butte has been a continuous sur
prise for the past ten years, and if our in
formation can be relied on, the sourc of
the camp are now astounding even it's own
best informed citizens. 1t is a handy thing
to have such a camp in the TerritorEf

MARSHAL KELLY will take charge Of his
office on July LIST. In a private letter to a
friend at Helena he says: "My political
record upon the war is being severely crit
icized. 1 feel that it would be fairer to
Judge of my actions since the close OF that
contest. l have acquiesced in the settle
ment of all issues determined by the result
of the war; have done my duty as a citizen
since it's close, and feel fattered that my
enemies nave to go back thirty years to
sustain their objections tony appointment
to an office for which I had no aspirations,
and to accept which l had to make many
personal sacrifices" This is a manly letter
and the people of the Territory will accept
the appointment upon that basis.

The cattle gg1Eyswwers OF Texas, New Mexico
ana I!sGiHorado are now negotiating with
l4sach other, through committees, for the
establishment of a national trail, into n
over those states. This scheme OF a
national trail was first brought into prom
inence at the National Congress of Cattle
Growers held in st. Louis, last year. 1t
was then proposed to extend it from Texas
into British America, but no decisive action
was taken. There are many things in favor
of such a scheme, and many against
it, the latter, in the judgment Of many who
have given the subject much thought, out
weighing the former. The experiment OF Il
short trail, if carried out, will show it's
practicability. The outcome of the ~negotia-
tions in the South will be watched with
interest by the cattle growers Of Montana
and the Northwest.

THE LONDON ExPosITION.

$50 800
The American exhibition to be held in
London in 1856, to which we have already
alluded, win be one Of unusual interest to
the people Of this country. The idea iss
novel and the proposed arrangement 81
the exhibit as novel as it will be unique.
It is intended SO to arrange the interior OF
the entrance building that the European
and shall temporarily he in, and commence
his visit, within the United States. He
will set out from the harbor of New York,
with the Bartholdi statue OF liberty in the
foreground, spreading the grand gospel OF
liberty in all lands. All the striking fea-
lures of the entrance into the harbor OF
New York, from Hell Gate to the Battery,
will be reproduced and will astound the
visitor. The visitor, upon his arrival at
New York, will make an excursion through
the various states across the continent to
San Francisco-from the Atlantic to the
Pacific. The railway routes and the pic
t~uresquely diversified scenery of the agri-
cultural, pastoral, forest and mining states
will be illustrated by paintings, plants and
products. It is proposed to make the ex-
hibition a grand illustration, in miniature,
of the material resources and character
istic social conditions Of the various parts
OF the country, from ocean to ocean and
from British America to the Gull OF Mexico.
The opportunities for comparison will thus
be rendered very excellent. Indeed, the
condition OF the respective agricultural,
grazing, mineral and manufacturing local.
tiles will be particularly shown, while
the state of development and the unde-
veloped our of the various sections
will be brought under the visitors notice
in such a form as will enahle him 40 -

intended that these shall be n OF the most
valuable, instructive and entertaining Tea
lures of the exhibition.
Can Montana afford to be left out Of such
an exhibition? The MINER does not be-
Eeve that it can. In such a grand pana'
rama of all the States and Territories,
Montana should form an important iea'
ture. Her great resources in minerals and
agriculture, her magnificent scenery, he1
wealth OIL timber, her delightful climate
| should all be set forth in BETTING manne
at the London Exhibition. That show will
attract people from all over the world, and
Just the sort OF men, too, that this Terri
tory needs mostly.
The commissioners from Montana to thu

| ton to Judge very accurately, estimate thai

his necessary expenses, will require an out
lay of from SIS, 900 to $4,000. This ii
not a large sum of money for SO important
an enterprise. The MINER believes that il
could be easily raised, if some one would
take the matter in hand.
In the non-session of the Legislature nj
one seems authorized to act, and private
parties are diffident about undertaking tn
task. Does Governor Carpenter see a way
to help us out of the dilemma?

account Of the killing ufea ffute fnutan
named Joe, by two white men, in Happy
Valley, Oregon. In commenting upon the
ton to the white and Indian outrages,
which are increasing in frequency in the

Piutes having no reservation, they are
willing to go to and frequent that country
for subsistence by hunting and fishing. The
state of affairs now existing is certain to
grow worse and must finally eliminate in

assigned these Indians and they are placed
on it. The Commissioner of Indian affairs
has directed the agent to INVESTIGATES the

The people of Butte are properly appre-
ciating the magnificent performances that
Fred Warde is giving in Renshaw's Opera
House, nightly. Nothing could be NOR
delightful than his portrayal OF the charac-
ter of the noble and incorporating old
Roman father and soldier, Trginius. There
was much lacking in accessories-scenery
light and music-to make the performance
thoroughly effective and perfect, yet Mr..
Warde entered SO earnestly into his work,
and wove SO complete a spell about his
auditors as to cause them to forget that
anything was lacking. His art rose supe-
rior to his surroundings, and those who
love art forget all else. An actor who
can give such satisfaction in 30 clean
limned a character as Trsinius, is sure to
interest and to please in the balance Of his
repertoire.

LOUIS BOUCHE, a wealthy Eropch widowar

LOUIS BoucHE, a wealthy alt l French widower
OF Mong County. California, was recently
arrested on a charge of cruelty to his two
daughters, whom he punished ~~orporally
for keeping company with young men OBJ
%iectionable to him. The jury acquitted
him and found that the punishment was
deserved. AS one of the girls is IA and the
other 16, the jury's idea of when the spank
able age of girls is past is somewhat in con-
fict with the advanced ideas of localities
more civilized than Mono county. Itwould
be a good idea if certain young ladies OF
some Montana towns, who are seen at late
regulations, received a spanking about
once a month.

MINNEAPoLls has become virtuous and
has begun a war on 'loud' Autographs
and other show-printing alleged to be lewd
and indecent. Mike Leavitt or one of his
leg shows must have been down that way.
This is a wal that was started in Brooklyn
against the paper used by Leavitt to adj
vertise a monstrosity known as 1.-THE Adam
less Eden Company" The warfare was
opened none too soon. Some OF the paper
used by managers who make some claims
to responsibility is too utterly vile to be
toler:. ted anywhere. There is really no use
for suggestive printing and the city author
tiles everywhere should promptly suppress
it whenever it is placed upon the walls.
Minneapolis is right in this matter, just as
Brooklyn was right, and should not weary
OF the good work.

THE Labor advocate says: mo true
knight OF labor will absent himself from his
assembly meetings when it is possible for
him to be present. He shows a lack OF in
terest the moment he excuses himself from
attendance on the plea that he is not an
officer and therefore it is not necessary for
him to be there every night" The great
danger from such a neglect of attendance
lies in the fact that it gives the demagogues
and the unworthy, who somehow gain en-
trance into all orders, an advantage or
which they are not slow to act. Those who
have axes to grind always attend. They.
as a rule, have plenty of time. Prompt and
general attendance is very important to
the future of the order.

MACKEY or NEVADA.


An item is goingthe rounds Of the press,
to the effect that J. w. Mackey, the Nevada
millionaire, lis anxious to succeed j.. (.
Jones, OF Nevada, in the United States
Senate, Millionaire Mackey is reported
by some OF the Nevada politicians as tank
ious to go to the United States Senate
but not to succeed jones'" Senator Jones
was reelected by the Nevada Legislature
to succeed himself at the last session of
that body, held in January last. There
fore, Nj. Jones term Of Office will not ex-
pire until March 4th, 1891. He will then
have been Senator from Nevada for eigh-
teen years. It was reported that Senator
Jones spent considerably over a half a mil
lion OF dollars for his seat in the U. s. Sem
ate in 1872 and 1873, but in 1884, the peo-
pie of Nevada, recognizing in Senator Jones
the hest friend and ablest champion silver
ever had in the United States Senate, with
the possible exception of Senator Hill, OF
Colorado, elected him Senator for the
third time, without money and without
price,"
In 1886 the term OF Senator James G.
Fair, the junior Senator from Nevada, will
expire, and if Mr.. Mackey is at all ambi-
| tious to become a Senator, it is to fill the
! seat now owned by Senator Fair. Fair
bought the Nevada Legislature in 1880,
/ paying for it, according to the statement OF
Dick Day, his political ~henchman, the sum
of $780, 600. Between Messrs. Mackey and
Fair there is at present a very bitter feel
ing, on account of business and domestic
matters, and if Mackey can defeat Fair Tor
a reelection to the Senate, he is going to do
it. We doubt, however, if Mr.. Mackey has
any idea of running himself for the honor.
There are many men in and outside OF Ne
vada whom Mr.. Mackey is liable to take
up and make Senator, to succeed his ho+~a
rival, FAIR. among them are mentioned
ex-Minister r. M. Daggett, who is a great
~favorite of Mackey's, and who was
defeated for Congress in 1880 by Hon.
G.. w. Cassidy. Ex-senator William NJ.
Stewart, of California, is also spoken OF as
aprobable candidate for Senate rial honors
It is not, however, probable that either OF
those gentlemen will be selected by Mackey,
as the man to succeed Fair. Those who
claim to be on the "inside" say that ex-
Congressman Thomas Wren, of Nevada, will
be the next United States Senator from
Nevada. Mr.. Wren, while in Congress, made
an enyiable record; is a staunch friend OF
+hh1-eas;;; has extensive mining interests
a General "a tha entire State and is withall
