FORMATION OF BATTLE.
Effects of the Use of Breech-I.O1d,ns
Rihes-UsinR the Skirmish- Line.

Captain Edward Field, of the 4th Ar
til!ery, read paper before the Military
Service Institution, entitled "No Foot
steps, but Some Chances, Backward
1t was devoted to a consideration oil
changes in formation for battle which
will probably be produced by the use Of
breech-loading rifles. Captain Field
said that the only war in which we had
really an oppvrtunity to judge of the
effect of the modern breech-Ioading rifle
was the Russo-Turkish War, and then
the effect of the Peabody Martini rifle
was most deadly. The feasibility of
making the skirmish line the formation
to be used for a line of battle was care.
fully and fully considered.
''rhe objections were said to be the
eifficulty OF directing a large body of
men deployed as skirmishers, the diff.
Guilty of rallying them when once thrown
into disorder, and the loss of that stead
mess and concert of action with which
men move to battle when elbow touches
elbow and the electric thrill OF the con-
f1ct passes from man to man. If this
style of fighting is to be employed SOLE
ly, said Captain Field, "war would de-
generate into barbaric conflict like that
carried on by the Indians of the plains,
or else soldiers would refuse to move with
outprotection and become like those de-
generate Roman legions who protected
themselves behind shields of wicker
work. As examples of people who fight
independently and those VINO fight in
concert take the Indians and the ancient
Scandinavians. There never was a more
war-loving people or people more brave
personally than the Indians, but what
are their shouts of conflict and songs of
war compared to the measured clash of
armor and the steady chant with which
the devastation of the world moved to
battle ?''
In concluding this part of his paper,
Captain Field recommended the en-
ployment of line of men deployed as
sklrmishers with a guidon for every
company borne in their rear, these
guidons to have conspicuously displayed
on them the letter of the company, to
serve as rallying points in case of need.
He believed that troops should be moved
on to the field in double columns, and at
the proper moment deployed into line
and precipitated through the curtain of
8kirmishers upon the enemy. Captain
Field also believed that when large
bodies Of troops were brought into
action armies operating on exterior lines
had an advantage over those operating
on interior lines.

How TO WASH AND CARE FOR H6Ar.

Not Just Yet.

Singular as it may seem to those
private persons holding the relation OF
father and son, it is notorious fact that
aged monarchs are often very jealous of
the son who is to succeed them. The
fact is illustrated by this anecdote OF
Emperor William, of Germany:
An artist was commanded to paint
some court ceremony, and brought some
sketches to the Emperor.
Instead, however, of representing the
Crown Prince standing upright by his
fathers side, the painter had sketched
him with one foot on the step of the
throne where the Emperor was seated.
His majesty at once seized a pencil,
scratched out the obnoxious foot, aud
drew it in its proper place, writing on
the margin: "Not yet. !"

Stimulating Newspaper Circulation.

A novel way to increase the list of
subscribers has just been adopted by a
French contemporary-the GauJOis.
The proprietors of this journal, so we
are told, undertake to pay a sum of
5000 francs at the disease of any sub
scriber who may meet with his death
on railway or tramway, or by being
run over by vehicle in the street. A
proportionate sum is paid for injuries
received. All that is necessary to pro-
duce is the last receipt of subscription.
The GGuyOis also pays compensation to
any purchaser of a single copy, or his
heirs should he be injured or killed on
the day on which the paper is bought

His Little Farewell.

Charles w. Hemenway, for some time
past chief scribe OF the Ogden Herald,
published his valedictory in the Herald
of last night on the occasion OF his leav-
ing that paper, and began as follows:
ITO thine own self be true, and it will fol-
low as the day the night thou canst not then
be false to any man. This is not q precept
found in the Bible; it is only saying put
into the mouth of Cardinal Wolsey by
Shakespeare in one of his historical plays
His reference TO the quotation he makes
as not being from the Bible, but only
words put into the mouth OF Cardinal
Wolsey in one oil Shakespeare historical
plays, is as near the truth as he ever was.
Shakespeare never put any such words
into the mouth OF Cardinal Wolsey, but
we presume that the valedictorian had a
confused idea of the words OF Polonius to
his son Laertes, which were as follows:
This above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow. as the night the day,
Thou canst not be false to any man.
The Herald is to be congratulated upon
its gain in losing Hemenway. In writing
so profound and touching document as
his valedictory, it would have been we'll
for the late scribe to have verified his
reference and quotation. He may do so
now, and he will find it as we have it by
looking at Hamlet, Act l, Scene III.

A PLEASANT LAWN PARTY.
Three Hundred Guests ENJOY Aast
Evenings Fete at the Need-
nam Residence.

The lawn party given last evening at
the residence OF John Needham, by
Charley Needham, s. H. Lynch and A.
Rogers, Jr., was very pleasant event.
The elegant and spacious grounds were
tastefully decorated with flags OF differ
ent sizes, and brilliantly Illuminated by
rows of candles and Chinese lanterns.
The lawn was smooth as carpeted floor,
and the glide and whirl OF the dance
upon its verdant surface could not be
surpassed in the ballroom. Along the
walks and outer edge OF the lawn were
stretched number of hammocks Tor the
guests to recline upon; benches and
chairs extended along close to the fence
for considerable distance, and at the
south end of the grounds, behind the
benches, was table about sixty feet
long laden with refreshments. There
was in the neighborhood OF three hun
bred guests present, made up OF the
elite of the city, and in the promenade
and graceful raise and variety dances a
charming spectacle was presented.
Lovely maidens and their sterner escorts
seemingly forgot all the trials of the day
and gave themselves up to the pleasure
of the evening Olsen's string band
played their full complement of dancing
tunes to the merry feet OF the happy
throng, and in the interior the Sunday
School Union Brass Band discoursed
many popular airs.
During the earlier part of the evening
the sidewalks in front OF the grounds
were crowded with people who were
attracted there by the gay surroundings,
brilliant Examinations and the stirring
music. Near the midnight hour the fine
spread OF good things was placed at the
disposal OF the guests, who were not
backward in doing it ample justice.
Dancing, promenades and conversation,
mingled with gay laughter, were INDUCED
in until a late hour, and the guests de-
parted for their respective homes giving
hearty tributes OF praise to the gentlemen
under whose auspices the party was

NEW STRIKES In NEWFOUNDLAND
A Promising Mining District Conn
ing Eapidly to the Front.

Mr.. A. NJ. Paul is making rather fire.
quent trips from the Newfoundland min
ing district to. Salt Lake of late, which
causes some suspicion that the isolated
district is of more real importance than it
has heretofore been considered.
On returning to the Last Chance mine
he found the crew working for him had
made new and promising discovery,
which shows from three to four feet OF
galena ore, Il working sample Of which,
assayed by Mr.. Frank Foote yesterday,
went % per cent. lead and forty ounces in

This claim is situated near the Last
Chance mine. in black lime, and prom
ises to be a fine property. The parties
owning it intend commencing work i'm
mediately and will ship the ore by the
way of Terrace to Salt Lake.
The Last Chance, owned by Mr.
Knowlton, is looking well, but has not
been able to ship for some time on ac
count of heavy rains. Several carloads
OF ore will be started to the sampling
works here within few days.
The district stands badly in need of
concentrating works, which Mr. Paul is
now negotiating for. Considerable low
grade ore exists all overthe island, which
will not pay to ship, but with concentrat-
ing works could be made to pay There
no longer seems any doubt as to the pay
ing quality of an abundance of ore in the
Newfoundland district. Enterprise and
capital are the only requirements to place
the district alongside of the foremost.

T1NTrc AND THE JUAB OFFICIALS.
How the County Has Served the
Goose That Lays the Golden Egg

EUREKA, July Sin last Sundays Salt
Lake Herald is letter dated June 3Oth,
from Mr.. Joel Grover, of Nephi, in which
he makes a faint attempt to prove untrue
the statements of a DEMOCRAT reporter
who was in Tintic few weeks since, and
who wrote the town up and the county
officials down.
Why under heaven Mr.. Grover wrote
his letter for the Herald it is impossible
to understand. That sheet hasn't circu-
lation enough to make anything public.
There is one copy comes to Eureka, but
it is SO lonesome and so seldom read that
as soon as the subscription runs out it
will appear no more. Mr.. Grover should
have sent his letter to paper OF general
circulation, so that it could have been
more generally read and as generally
contradicted, which is as easy to do as
Calling off log"
In the letter in question MIR. Grover
takes exceptions at your reporter having,
in general way, shown up the condition
of affairs in Tintic and the treatment the
district gets from Juab county. He makes
pretence at showing the entire amount
of taxes collected for the past seven years,
by supplying the following table:

At the Opera House.

Our citizens are quite particular as to
the character of entertainments they
patronize, and desire to know if they are
worthy of their patronage. If the press
comments on Thompson's "Around the
World" are correct, they will not be dis
appointed tonight. Concerning this en-
tertainment the New York World says
John Thompson announces this as the
eighth and last week of his comic
speciality play, around the World" As
character actor and comic singer he is
unexcelled. Irish, German, Italian,
French, Mongolian, Yankee and Israelite
characters are faithfully and comically
portrayed. His musical accomplishments
are simply amazing; all instruments
cornet, clarionet, violin, banjo, COW horn,
Chinese fiddle and other instruments of
sound and music without name are skill
fully handled by him. He has all the
brogues and dialects of races at easy COM
mand, while his heels are not less edu-
Gated than tongue or head. Thompson is
a show in himself.

SUED FOR ALIMONY AND COSTS.
siIns Smiths Divorced Wife Places
Him in the Hands of the LAW

In the case of Ida L. Smith vs.. SIlas L..
Smith, Tor divorce, writ Of attachment
was served this morning by Deputy
United States Collin, and the defendant
was arrested and is still in custody await
ing the action of his attorneys. Smith
was arraigned on a complaint lodged by
complainant's attorneys for refusing to
pay a weekly alimony of $1,000, and 500
attorneys fees.
The order Of Court was dated October
20, 1884, and the claim is for $l75.1 as
alimonv and costs of suit and serving the
writ. The writ is certified to by Deputy
Collin as having arrested the said Smith,
and, as said before, he fingers in the
clutches of the Marshal. However, he
has friends at work for his release, 1t IS
understood, which will no doubt be
brought about shortly, if not this evening.
The defendant claims, and his friends be-
lieve, that he has in an indirect manner
paid more to the claimant than the sum
claimed by her. The case was called this
afternoon. Messengers were sent out to
summon witnesses, as Mr.. Smith pro-
poses to combat the evidence IN con-
viction. The witnesses subpenaed were
ex-Judge Elias Smith, father OF the de-
PENDANT, l. NJ Waddell, County Prose
cutting Attorney, and DIR. A. 3. Dunford.

THE FIGHT FOR SILVER.
Two Delegates Elected to the Conn

Alta o'clock yesterday afternoon Messrs.
r. c. Chambers, Mccormick, Packard,
James, and Billing assembled at Baskin
& VanHorn's Office, pursuant to thor
oughiy-announcedm meeting OF the Utah
silver men. An expression OF disap-
pointment spread itself among the five
gentlemen present, who at once took in
the situation and realized that the impor-
tant responsibilities OF this general meet
ing were shirked by the many and left
for short half-dozen to attend to.
w. F. James said ne thought meet
ing OF as much vital importance to all
Utah as this silver-men's meeting, would
call ont better representation. In the
absence OF the president, MIR. r. W..
Billing was elected chairman, and Mr..
w. g. Van Horn permanent assistant
secretary Mr.. j. q. Packard OF the
Eureka, W. F. James OF the Maxfield, X.
G.. Chambers of the great Ontario, and
Messrs. Billing and Mccormick, composed
those present throughout the session.
The purpose of electing two delegates to
the Bi-metallic National Convention was
dlltt IcSulleu CllOOolhS -
G.. Goodwin and Col E. p. Ferry. J. q.
Packard and l.. +. Holden were elected
alternates.
These two delegates are to unite with
those from other Territories in the coming
silver fight The question OF money to
defray the necessary expenses of sending
two delegates to the convention was con-
sidered. Mr. Chambers said that the
Ontario company would pledge $500
toward the required amount. Mr.. Ferry
stated that the merchants OF the Park
had raised $3.50, to which he gladly
added $25, making an addition of 1915.
The miners OF Park City are greatly in
terested, and promise contribution.
AS at least $1,000 is required to present
the situation OF Utah in this matter prop
erly before Congress, other contributions
from all business men are looked for to
help the matter along. The pamphlet
prepared some time since by Mr.. Ferry,
and submitted to designated committee
to revise, was discussed, and the meeting
adjourned.
