A Body Of Armed socialists.

Chicago special: It is understood that
the fact has been clearly disclosed that
number of armed companies of social
lists are regularly drilling in this city,
and that they number about 700 men.
They are equipped with breech.l loading
rifles and drill according to the Russian
tactics. The entire practice is contrary
to the state Law. In view OF this fact,
and owing to recent threats BY some
socialist leaders, volunteer Raurds have
been placed in one of the armcries of

Orange outbreak. The New York Re-

imprisoned in their dwellings,. An
Orange arch was erected near the

Con. Grant's Health Improv,.e

New York, Jan. 5-Gen. Grant ex-
pressed himself yesterday as feeling
better than he had before in the last two
months. He enjoyed his meals during
the day and was little troubled in the
use of his throat, either IN eating or
speaking. In the afternoon he took q
ride in the park and was driven down to
his physician's residence. Although
feeling some weakness from the effect of
his illness, Gen. Grant is growing
stronger each day and improving rapid.
". :.
In his article on the battle of Shiloh,
which will appear in the February
number Of the Century, Gen. Grant
scouts the theory that at the close of the
first day of the battle his army
found itself in defenseless position.
Before Buell's troops had taken their
position he'had given orders, he says, to
bis division commanders to attack at
daybreak the second day. "Gen. Lew
Wallace" he says, speaking of the close
of the first day, "arrived after the firing
had ceased and was placed on the right
Thus, when night came. Wallace also
came, and the advance of Nelson's divi.
sion came, but none-except in the
night-in time to be of material service
to the gallant men who saved Shiloh on
that first day against large odds." The
time of the capture of Gen. Prentlss he
fixes as certainly later than 4:3O in the
afternoon. At that hour he was with
Prentiss. "His DIVISION" Grant says
twas standing up firmly" and the
general was as cool as if he had been ex
pecting victory"

There is something in this. 1t comes
from the Chicago Inter- Ocean:
Some of our contemporaries farther

disgrace to o country to have the
mercury drop down among the 2Os below
zero. If they would come up among the
people and see the rosy.cheek lads and
lassies who breathe. the pure, health
giving atmosphere and see the life and

they would learn lesson. Zero weather
in the northwest is as much enjoyed and
is as enjoyable when one gets used to it
as is the rose.scented air of January
farther south to the people who live
there. A Dakota or Minnesota or Iowa
farmer could not be persuaded to trade

In the event of the resignation Of Asso-
ciate Justice Bradley, Of the United
States supreme court, President Arthur
will appoint Secretary Frelinghuysen to
the vacancy. The secretary is said to
have inherited office-holding desires. He
comes from an ofice-helding family.
His grandfather held federal Office, az
did his father, who was for many years
senator from New jersey. Secretary
Frelinghuysen was years afterwards,
senator from the same state. A supreme
court judgship pays 5000 per year.
After ten years service he could retire

tween southern Dakota with the inten-
tion of keeping all the Offices of the
legislature in thst section. While the
north have no deSire to monopolize the
positions in the legislature, it can be
predicted that tht wholesale appropri.
alton of the offices by the south will call
forth vigorous protest from the othe,

produce harmony during the session.
