An Important Hint.

A little story is told in Bruce's Life of General Houston," which illustrates the familiar way in which military orders were expressed some times during the Civil War.
 In certain battle Confederate commander stood upon a hilltop gloomily watching the Union bat tery, which was making havoc of his troop. At the foot of the hill, on the other side, stood his last body of reserves by his side stood his aide-de-camp in shirt sleeves.
 "Tom," said the General, quietly, without turning his head, but his lips quivering, q want them guns want lem bad"
 The aid..nodded, turned his horse and dashed down hill to the re- serve.
 Boys" he shouted, jerking his shoulder toward the hilltop, "there's poor old gent up there, and he says he wants them guns wants 'em bad. Shall we get lem for him?"
 The 'poor old gent" got the guns and the victory.-Youth's Compa- nion.

The Crank and His Pistol.

It is now an accepted theory WltE
 criminal lawyers that persons who murder others must be defended on the insanity plea in all cases where the crime is too heinous to be de- tended otherwise, and the criminal too thoroughly identified to admit of controversy. Another untoward feature is that just in proportion to the magnitude of the horror, juries are disposed to accept the hypothe- sis of lunacy and to regard the murderer with pity and indulgence. In this way we are building up in our philosophy the appalling prop osition that criminal is accounta- ble for his acts in exact ratio with their enormity and instilling into the minds of assassins the sugges- tion that they may hope for inn munity if orly they kill people en- ough and exhibit a sufficient amount of brutality in doing it. In this way we are being taught by insid- ious and imperceptible degrees to regard man who stays another ill eudden quarrel as more culpable, because more responsible, than one who lies in wait and butchers in cold blood a number of defenceless human beings. It is the ghastly but perfectly logical fruit of the insan- ity hypothesis, and it is one which society might as well face now as some later time.
 It has often beer asked whether, admitting the plea of madness, the courts are warranted in setting the murderer free. Unless laws are made with view to mere vengeance, it is impossible to see why crazy assassin should be exculpated any more than an assassin who is not crazy. If the object of the law be to protect society and to dissnade possible criminals by reminding them of the consequences of evil, then the law is outraged and socie- ty betrayed whenever insanity is ac- eepted as an excuse. Not only is q dangerous and deadly enemy re- stored to activity and licensed to violence by every verdict of acquit- tai, but hundreds of breeding de- mons are stimulated to gratiiy their passions by the assurance that they, too, may rend and slay with safety.

E. J. Roberts says that a good market for beef steers is opened in Mexico, principally at Guaymas. A heavy steer will bring a better price there, than it will here. The price paid is $20 for a Mexican and S25 for a graded fat beef steer. These figures mean Mexican money. It is also learned from MT. Roberts that the recent purchase by Wright ot the steers which stampeded be- fore reaching the line was declared of, the buyer not caring to gather the stock again.-Propector.

It happened long ago in West ern mining town.

He had never had any experience in that branch Of his au- thority, but with true Western en- terprise he agreed to tackle the job, and the culprits were brought be- fore him.

 ''Come forward to the bar of jus tice," he continued with a pompous effort, and they came.
 Guilty or not guilty?" he asked as they stood before him holding hands.
 Guilty, your Honor" responded the groom.
 "Is this your first ofrense?"
 'It is, you Honor, so help me-"
 "Well, there's nothing to do but impose a life sentence upon both of you and assess the groom for the costs"
 "How much, your Honor?" ask ed the groom, going down into his pockets.

 The HaIrisonville (Mo.) Demo- crat tells this good one on the Sec retary of war:
 "A prominent attorney of Hutch inson, Kas., who was raised in this city, here on a visit, recently said: Yes, went to school with Stephen B. Elkins when he taught in the old academy on East Pearl street. I was very small boy then. and don't remember very much that took place. My recollection is that he was called a good fellow, good teacher. and was very much admired by the boys on account of his learn ing and eloquence. I remember one little incident more distinctly perhaps than any other that took place while I attended school. I think it was in 1861, Colonel R-, who had lived here many years, de- cided to move with his family to Pike's Peak. At that day nothing West was talked of but Pike's Peak. Gold had been discovered there, and everybody had the fever.ooCol- onel R., had boy attending school about my age, who when the time arrived to start West came up to tell us good-by. He came at re- cess, and about the time he got through shaking hands with the boys books" was called and he went in to tell the Professor good by. The little fellow walked up in front with the same gentility that has been characteristic of him in later years, and, holding out his hand, said Professor, I came to tell you good-by." Elkins said: "Good-by, Bob, be good boy; but hold on, I have favor to ask of you." He stepped to his desk and took out little silk secession flag, and, handing it to Bob, he said: "When you get out there place this on the top of Pike's Peak for me in the name of the Southern Confed- eraoy." The promise was prompt ly made to do it.
 Bob is now one of the foremost lawyers in Missouri, and smiles complacently when he thinks of the commission he once had from the now great Secretary of War to place a Confederate flag on the top of PIke's Peak.
