THE ovATIoNs to General Sherman
at the Grand Army States Encamp-
ment in Milwaukee, shows the love
and veneration which the men have
for this grand old soldier. The men
who were with him in that memorable
march from ATLANTA 10 the Sea, "
know better than any one else the
magnitude of the movement. When
the history of the United States Is read
by future generations, hundred years
hence, Sherman's march will be con
sidered the grandest straigetic military
movement ever made, and before
which the marches and campaigns Of
Caesar, Alexander and Napoleon be-
come insignificant. 1t is no wonder
that his old comrades, who know anc
appreciate these facts, now love to hon
or him, and sincerity wish that his lit'
may be spared for many more years, u
enable him to see and enjoy more o
the work which he helped to accom-
plish.

TIE fraudulent divorce case Of
Sheriff Flack, in New York, shows
the immense influence exerted by the
press. This man, whom II seems ex-
erted q powerful influence over the
Court, was actually divorced from his
wife without her knowledge or con-
sent, although he had paper present:
ed which purported to DO a full
acknowledgment on her part OF the
charges presented against her. Every
thing was done secretly, and an effort
made to keep the entire matter from
the newspapers, but by some means

"got on to it." and exposed the Who'll,

which he has dlsgraced by his in

WHAT TO DO with the garbage is o
question that has for years been dis
cussed by the health officials OF many

The Little ssSnipe Shooter,

One afternoon not many days ago, | saw
by chance very pretty little boy with
black curly hair, fat, chubby face and blue
eyes, about six or seven years old, walk
ing slowly along in front of the prison.
Every now and then l noticed the little
fellow STOPPING down to pick up something.
l watched him for a few moments. and be-
hold what did see? This, he was ''shOot-
ing snipes" More plainly speaking. he
was picking up cigar stumps, tearing them
apart and putting them in his little pock-
cts. Now, without doubt, his father sends
him out to pick up these cigar stumps; or
perhaps it is his poor old grandmother. Is
it not shame to make this little fellow 90
along the streets and do such as that? He
wore hat which formerly belonged to his
father or some other man, and it had been
made over to fit him by running it into a
sort of peak, and you may rest assured
that it was clear case of miSfit.
This same little fellow with such training
will, in all probability. never amount to
much. l think such cases as this are the
more proper ones for the missionary So
cieties to look after instead of sending
money to the poor heather thousands of
miles away If this boys parents are to
blame for his shooting snipes," it would
be wise idea for some missionary society
to take him in hand, send him to school and
bring him up so that he may be self-re-
Specting man in the near future.

There is one phaze of character that man
ifests itself among prisoners which is dis
tressng to see. Whenever man is par
doned number of others. who are confined
on similar charges, begin comparing the
merits of their own cases to those of the
man pardoned; and they never fail to con-
vince themselves that they are the most de-
serving. They lind fault with the pardon
ing power because they were not pa1doned
also. This complaint becomes rabid if it
SO happens that the one pardoned was fort
innate in having wealthy or influential
friends to intercede for him. 1t may be
that they are really more deserving of re-
lease than the other fellow, but they should
not complain, for if a pardon is granted a
less worthy man it indicates that their own
cases are more likely to receive favorable
consideration when brought before the par
doning power.

We often hear it said that the Elmira
plan of reforming criminals tends rather to
make hypocrites, than honest, self-respect-
ing men. We have never seen a specimen
of the work turned out of the Elmira re-
for1aatory. therefore we cannot say whether
they are hypocrites OF not. Judging by the
statistics of that institution, if it is hypoc-
Tisy they teach the inmates. they do
the work so thoroughly. that out of every
one hundred criminals that enter the place,
over eighty are discharged such consummate
hypocrites that ever afterwards they hide
their criminal instincts under the cloak of
honest, self-supporting industry.
