FOR HUMANlTY'e SAKE.

In the "Chit Chat Corner Of
the st. Paul Globe, we find a ref
erence to Deaf Bull, a Grow Indi,
an now confined at Ft. Smelling !;
what will be done with Deaf Bull
is still matter Of conjecture, but
among army officers it is believed
that he will continue to be con-
fined at Ft. Smelling for an indeffi-
mite period. It would be no use
to send him back to the reserva.
tion,' says Gen. Ruger in discuss.
ling the matter, for he would
merely foment discord, and en-
deavor to incite his associates to
renewed acts Of violence against
the military or settlers From
another official it was ascertained
that there was a possibility Of the
chief being sent to Florida for
imprisonment in Ft. Marion, but
the War department would defer
such action until the abatement Of
the yellow fever now raging in the
land Of the Everglades
It is to be hoped that the last
named official is wide Of the mark
in regard to the disposition Of
Deaf Bull. We sincerely hope that
! the War department. entertains no
thought whatever Of changing the
lplace Of this Indians confinement.
There are the same moral reasons
for abstaining from the act always
existing, as potent when Florida
is free from the scourge, as now,
when suffering from afliction.
The reason existing against the
change, differs only in degree not
in kind. To send him now would
be certain death, to send him later
would involve the strongest prob
ability Of death in time. Aclimi-
tization would be almost in1poss1-
Ible to a person in confinement,
and the change, together with con.
[fnement would mean sickness and
finally death.
We take it that the Government
does not regard Deaf Bull as guilty
Of a crime deserving the death
penalty, since it has not proceeded
against him in regular legal meth
cd. He is under confinement now,
it would seem, more as a precau-
tionary measure, since it is implied
/ in Gen. Ruger's remark, that were
there certainty Of his remaining
quiet and peacable, he would be
tsent back to his reservation. Such
being the case, his confinement at
Re. Smelling will answer all the
purposes, for we must presume
that the prison guard is as effect
i've at Smelling as at Marion.
Any view looking to a change,
we and the humanitarian Of the
white race would look upon as
sure to bring up the impression
that the Government inaugurated
the change as
The Hest aAA Easiest Way 81 Get
Ting Rid Of Him Altogether.
We do not question the fact,
that there IS a desire on the part
Eof many that this should be done!
And yet we remain under the i'm
Epression that the Government will
mot crafty this 1NHuxAN DESIRE.

The First Artillery.

The annual meeting and reunion of
the First Artillery, Eleventh Vermont
Volunteers, was held last Wednesday
in Burlington, with headquarters at
the Van Ness House. About $50
members of the regiment were present,
including General j. Nj. Warner. presi-
dent of the association, and other Of
ficers. Comrades from other states
were DR.. G. B. Park of DesMoines,
Iowa, and Rev. Newton n. Glazier of
Greenfield, Mass. The large number
present added much to the enjoyment
of an occasion in itself deeply interest
ing. The following officers were
chosen: President, Colonel Aldace F.
Walker of Rutland; vice-president,
Major d. J. Stafford of Morrisville:
surgeon, G.. B. Park of DesMoines,
Iowa; secretary, II. c. Lewis of Bel
lows Falls; treasurer, O. II. Austin of
Barton Landing; chaplain, Rev. New
ton n. Glazier of Greenfield. Mass. ::
surgeon, E. o. Porter of Cornwall; ex-
ecutive committee, Captain E. j. Girls
void of st. Johnsbury, A. w. Roberts
of ST. Johnsbury. Lieutenants J. S.
brennan of Hardwick, S. II. Foster of
North Calais, r. E. Hathorn of Lud-
low. The ACCESSIBILITY of permanent
place for holding reunions was favor
ably considered. A constitution and
bylaws were adopted and a vote of
thanks rendered Stannard Post for the
use of its hall At the evening ses-
sion, resolutions expressing in strong
and eloquent terms the high regard of
the regiment for its old commander,
the late General Sheridan. Comrade
Glazier delivered an effective address.
Colonel Walker opened the banquet
with interesting remarks and remin-
iscences. He noted the fact that the
reunion occurred on the anniversary of
the battle of Opequan and recalled ex-
periences of the battle. He alluded to
the recognition of its members as rep
resented by the lieutenant-governo and
elector on the state ticket recently
elected. He was followed by others in
the spirit of comrades in arms, who
drew out the linked pleasure " until
after midnight.

General Smiths Great Service.

Mr. John G. Ropes, the historian, has
an article in the June number of the
Dial. in which, regretting that since
the Punishment of the French princes
from France the Comte de Paris is I'M
able complete his history of our civil
war, he pays that author a high COM
pliment for his discrimination and cor
rectness, and says: For instance, in
the account of the operations which re-
suited in the storming of Missionary
Ridge, we are pleased to see that the
count has adhered strictly to the exact
facts, and has not been induced by his
admiration of General Grant to over
state, as have some of his admirers, the
part which that distinguished officer
played in the success of the Federal
arms. We find a cordial recognition of
the important services rendered by Gen
eral w. F. Smith in the planning and
carrying out of the Browns Ferry
movement, which alone rendered it
possible not only to maintain the Army
of the Cumberland at Chattanooga, but
to bring to its assistance, first the corps
of Hooker and then that of Sherman.
We find due reorganization of the sound
and sure judgment of the commanding
general in availing himself at once of
this skillful plan"

Mrs. Hutton gives this account of
some ants which she saw in Sidney.
Having killed number of soldier ants
she returned in half an hour to the
spot where she had left their dead
bodies, and in reference to what she
then observed she says: saw
large number of ants surrounding the
dead ones. / determined to watch
their proceedings closely. | followed
four or five that started off from the
rest toward a hillock short distance
off, in which was an ants nest. This
they entered and in about five minutes
they reappeared followed by others.
All fell into rank, walking regularly
and slowly two by two until they ar
rived at the spot where lay the dead
bodies of the soldier ants. In a few
minutes two of the ants advanced and
took up the dead body of one of their
comrades; then two others, and so on
until all were ready to march. First
walked two ants bearing body, then
two without burden; then two others
with another dead ant, and so on until
the line extended to about forty pairs,
and the procession now moved slowly
onward followed by an irregular body
of about two hundred ants. Occasion
ally the two laden ants stopped, and
laying down the dead ant it was taken
up by the two walking unburdened be-
hind them, and thus by occasionally re-
lieving each other, they arrived at
sandy spot near the sea. The body of
ants now commenced digging with their
jaws number of holes in the ground,
into each of which dead ant was laid,
where they now labored on until they
had filled up the ants graves. This
did not quite finish the remarkable Cir
cumstances attending this funeral of
the ants. Some six or seven of the ants
had attempted to run off without per-
forming their share of the task of dig
ging; these were caught and brought
back, when they were at once attacked
by the body of the ants and killed upon
the spot. A single grave was quickly
dug, and they were all dropped into it,"

A Little Peace.Maker.

Only few days ago mother and her
daughter, on their way from Phila-
delphia to Omaha, were changing trains
at one of our passenger stations. Sud-
denly the girl caught sight of her
father, San Franciscan, on his return
journey from New York. He had
parted from his wife six years ago on
account of some domestic infelicity.
The child called his name" O papa!
There's papa!"-and ran to him. He
clasped her in his arms. But her work
as peace-maker was only begun. "Now
come over to mamma" she continued
eagerly. "Do speak to mamma. She
has cried so much and has told me
often how good papa always was"
That appeal was irresistible. The hus-
band and father looked at the wife and
mother. He stepped quickly to her.
They clasped hands, and the unlocked
for reconciliation was an accomplished
fact. The west-bound train bore away
reunited family. 1t was a scene to
make angels sing for joy.-Selected.

To Boys Commencing Business.

Be on hand promptly in the morning
at your place of business, and make it
point never to be late, and perform
cheerfully every duty. Be respectful
to your employers and to all in authority
over you, and be polite to every one;
politeness costs nothing, and it will
help you wonderfully in getting on in
the world. And above all, be honest
and truthful. The boy who starts in
life with a sound mind in sound body,
who falls into no bad habits, who is
honest, truthful, and industrious, who
remembers with grateful love his father
and mother, and who does not grow
away from his church and Sunday
school, has qualities of mind and heart
that will insure him success to a re-
markable degree, even though he is en-
dowed with only ordinary mental ca
pacity; for honor, truth and industry
are more than genius. Don't be fop-
pish in your dress, and don't buy any
thing before you have the money to
pay for it. Shun billiard saloons and
be careful how you spend the evenings.
Cultivate taste for reading and read
only good books. With love for read
ing you will find in books friends ever
true, and full Of cheer in time of gloom
and sweet companionship for lonely
hours. Other friends may grow cold
and forsake you, but books are always
the same. And in closing, boys, /
would say again, that with truth, hon
esty and industry and living faith in
God, you will succeed.
Honor and shame from condition rise;
Act well your part, there all the honor lies.
