From the Great Divide.
The miners of Colorado who have built cabna
on the mountain sides know what a pest the
small brown wood spider proves to be. They
throw their webs over our best clothes. cooking
utensils, in every corner where you can get
them in your eyes and mouth. Not only that,
but they will drop into the frying pan water
bucket, or upon the table where you are eating.
But nature furnished remedy and a friend
when she gave the spider hawk. The name is
given by miners to q small steel-blue wasp, al
most three-fourths of an inch in length. He
can easily be recognized by the quick, nervous
strokes of his wings. They build nest up
among the rafters of your cabin of wood pulp
or furZe from the outer coating of old dead
trees. Then they are ready for business.
Every few minutes you can see your hawk
climb up the rafters with n spider, sometimes
carrying one four or five times it's own weight.
Sometimes they get a spider so heavy that
they will fall many times before they succeed
in reaching their nest. They never give up,
but keep on trying until they succeed. When
the spider Is safely placed in the nest the fe-
male hawk deposits her egg in the dead body.
The hawks live only in pairs, as far as my OBJ
secvation goes. They become rather tame und
seem to be obliged to you for building the
spider trap for their benefit.

ST. ANDREWS BROTHERHOOD,

An Organization in the Episcopal Church
Which Has Grown Rapidly.
The organization known as the Brotherhood
OF st. Andrew in the Episcopa, Church has been
brought prominently before the people of WASH
lngton during the past two weeks by special
services here during the session Of the general
convention in Baltimore. This brotherhood
was organized out Of young mems Bibla class
In st. James Church, Chicago. on St. Andrews
day, 1888, and now has 10000 members from
every state and territory. 1t was organized
strictly for spiritual work, its sole object, as
stated. being the spread of Christs kingdom
among men. 1t has but two simple rules, which
are that each member shall pray daily for the
spread of Christs kingdom among men and for
Gods blessing on the work of the brotherhood,
and to make an earnest effort each week to
bring another man within the influence Of the
gospel of Jesus Christ The nature of the
brotherhood work is determined by its single
object and the example of its patron saint, who
first brought his brother, Simon Peter to
Jesus.
This work is the same for every member and
every parish chapter, but it is variously applied
to meet different circumstances. Many kinds
md methods of work have thus been developed
and employed.
Bible class for men has always been dis
onctive feature of brotherhood cha pier work.
The same may be said of welcoming men at
church services and visiting them in their
homes. Special services FOR men. open chapter
meetings, distribution Of church notices, lay
reading, mission work. reading rooms, work in
hotels and boarding houses. services in hospi-
tails prisons and other public institutions and
many other places a. 20 utilized as instru-
ments for the spread of Christ's kingdom.
An opportunity WILDE given all those who wish
to learn more of this work in special meeting

series, 10 be held tomorrow at $50 pm The

1t is easy enough for the writers of the nine
teenth century to critcise the actors of the if

urious easy-chairs in grea: libraries, can pass

the motives Of Columbus. But let them go
back 400 years, and divest thenselves OF tie
bias which the science Of today unconsciously
inspires; let them quit the age of steam en-
gines. telegraphs, democratic governments,
printing presses and SUNDAY schools; let them
orient themselves, and bscome Spaniards of
1892 instead OF Americans of 1892; let them

displayed an impiacaDie feefng OF resentment.
This was after his rupture with Mr.. Stanton
and his retirement from the command Of the
Army Of the Potomac. The rebels were pouring
north and the battle which Is known to US by
the name of 'Antietam was to be fought. There
was panic in Washington and after much con-
sideration 1t was determined to invite Gen. Nc
Clellan to again head our forces. Mr.. Seward
was selected to convey to him the desire and to
urge his acceptance. To his surprise aud disap-
pointment he at first found George memorable.
He felt that Mr.. Stanton had treated him with
too much injustice to permit him to accept the
offer consistently with his own self-respect.
For a long time he would not recede from his
refusal and il was only after repeated urging by
MIR. Seward that he was induced to undertake
TO fight that one battle, it being, however, dis
tinctly understood that there should be no per-
sonal reconciliation between himself and the
Secretary Of War;"
The Secretary Of the Navy, Mr.. Welles, says
of this cabinet meeting:
AT the stated cabinet meeting on Tuesday
the I'd OF September. while the whole commu-
nifty was stirred up and in confusion and affairs
were growing worse beyond ANYTHING that had
previously occurred, Stanton entered the coun-
Gil room q few moments in advance Of Mr.
Lincoln and said with great excitement he had
| just learned from Gen. Haeck that the Pres-
dent had placed Gen. Mcclellan in command Of
the forces in Washington. The information
was surprising, and, in view of the prevailing
excitement against that officer, alarming. The
President soon came in and in answer to an in
/ quiry from Mr.. Chase confirmed what Stanton
had stated. General regret was expressed and
! Stanton with some feeling remarked that no
order to that effect had issued from the War
/ Department. The President calmly. but with
some emphasis, said that the order was his and
he would be responsible for it to the country.
/ Before separating the Secretary Of the Treasury
expressed his apprehension that the reinstate-
ment OF Mcclellan would prove a national
calamity"
| M'CLELLAS's OWN STORY.
| In Gen. McClellan's "Own Story" he says:
| ION the LIST Of September. 1862, 1 met Gen
! Halleck at his Office in Washington, who by
| verbal order directed me to take charge Of
Washington and its defenses, but expressly
prohibited me from exercising any control over
l the active troops Of Gen. Pope. Next morn
/ ing. while was at breakfast, about or 7.3O
/ O'Clock, the President and Gen. Halleck came
TO ms house. The President informed me that
/ Col Kelion (who had been sent to the front to
report the real state OF affairs) had returned
and had represented the condition OF affairs as
much worse than had stated to Halleck on the
previous day; that there were 80 900 stragglers
on the roads; that the army entirely de-
feated and falling back TO Washington in con-
4 fusion He then said that he regarded WASH

ana mas Deen severely crltlclsed Tor the terrible
snubbing directed to Gen. Mcclellan in this
order, wish to state that it was issued with
| the knowledge and consent Of the President
and in consultation with him. 1t was that same
order which gave Gen. Hallcck command Of all
the forces as general-in-chief. Mr.. Stanton
never made an order in regard to Gen. Nc
Clellan's command OF any importance that
did not receive the sanction OF the President
| 1t was this very order that Mr.. Stanton had in
his mind when, in that cabinet meeting, he told
the President that he had virtually relieved
Gen. Halleck Of all responsibility under that
order-which was the President's-when he put
| Gen. Mcclellan in command of the defenses of
Washington.
| After the lapse of twenty-nine years the
| reason why President Lincoln finally removed
Gen. Mcclellan from the command of the
Army OF the Potomac is disclosed. Referring
to this disclosure find ip abraham Lincoln
History that it is stated:
"If Mcclellan after the battle Of Ant!etam
had destroyed the army of Lee his official posi-
| ton would have been impreguable II after
| Lee had recroseed the Potomac Mcclellan had
| followed and delivered a successful battle in
| Virginia nothing could afterward have pre-
vented his standing as the foremost man Of his
| time. The President, in his intense nxiety for
Tue sucCess VI tne IeuerM cause, would have
welcomed Mcclellan as his own presumptve
successor If he could have won that position by
successful battle But the generals inexpli-
cable slowness had at last excited the Presi-
dents distrust: He began to think before the
end of October that Mcclellan had no
real desire to beat the enemy. He
set In his own mind the limit of his
forbearance. He adopted for his guidance
test, which he communicated to no one until
long afterward, on (which he determined to base
his final judgment of Mcclellan. II he should
permit Lee to cross the Blue Ridge and place
himself between Richmond and the Army of
| the Potomac he would remove him from the
command. When it was reported In Washing
ton that Lee and Longstreet were in Cuipeper
| Court House. tho President sent an order dated
the 5th Of November, 1852, to Gen. Mcclellan
directing him to report for further orders at
Trenton. n. j.. and to turn the command of
the Army Of the Potomac over to Gen. Burn
| side.''
In the darkness and silence Of midnight this
order was delivered by q messenger direct
| from the Presiden. to Gen. Mcclellan while he
was alone in his tent, Just forty-eight days after
he had fought the battle of Antietam and saved
Washington, and still his conduct and inactivity
were inexplicable, and to the President he was
memorable. What mystery, what motive, hung
over and controlled him will never be known
But the President, as a great and beneficent
ruler, tempered with marvellous solicitude all
his actions, which it seemed then impossible TO
