And the Old Unreconstructed Confederate
Took Pains to Make Them known.
Very many OF the early settlers oil
Montana were natives of Missouri, Ken
lucky, Arkansas and the border states
of the war. They came by the Missouri
river to Fort Benton or by coach from
Omaha and for many years were in the
majority at elections, when they held
the flag Of Democracy to the masthead.
The result of this immigration was a
strong sentiment for the confederacy in
the early days, and in 1878, when GEN
eral Phil Sheridan and staff made an
official visit to the northwestern posts.
the sentiment had not disappeared.
Helena, Mon, was just emerging from
the garb of a mining camp, but a few
enterprising citizens with Ex-Governor
Hauser at the head determined to give
a fitting reception to the visitors. A
delegation met Sheridan and his party
in a s~tagecoach several miles from the
town and escorted them to the leading
hotel. On the following afternoon q
banquet vas given In the First National
bank, located then in the present gam
bling district.
The menu consisted mostly of canned
goods, jack rabbit meat and fresh game,
because the town was remote from civ
ilization. There was, however, plenty
Of champagne, since that wine Ia usu-
ally found in mining camps even when
nothing in the way Of food is left but
-four. The gathering was very demo-
cratic. Everybody in town was invited
to see Little Phil" though there was
much grumbling among the unrecon-
structed Confederates ove the display
made for a Union general. There were
lawyers and mining camp politicians
mingled with gamblers, miners and ex-
road agents, many Of whom wore six
shooters at their belts. Among them
was one old time Confederate soldier,
who had turned his talents from the
chivalry Of war to dealing bank" He
was restless and uncomfortable during
the feast, and when the toasts began
this restlessness increased. His face
darkened and his eyes famed with an
ger as various toasts were given to the
United States, the president Of the
United States and the army of the
United States.
Finally he could stand it no longer.
He arose with a wineglass in one hand
and a six shooter in the other, and in q
voice hoarse with rage shouted:
Here's to all mankind, SO that no
ID fool will be overlooked"
With that he dashed the w~ineglass on
the floor and emptied the six shooter
into the ceiling so that the room was
filed with smoke. The guests reached
for their revolvers, but the gambler,
with q look of contempt, returned his
gun" to his pocket and walked out.
General Sheridan afterward said that
it was one of the most dramatic and
suggestive scenes in all his experience.

A1eringue Glaoe .wirhout Ants.~

MerinGue Glnce without Ants"
A man went into the cafe Of Broad
way hotel the other day and sat down
on a stool in front of the lunch counter.
He had been in many of the eating
houses, or ''beaneries, :" in the Bowery
and Park row and thought he was fa-
miliar with the various terms which
walters employ when repeating a GUS
TONER'S order, but he had surprise in
store for him. When he had finished
his luncheon, he told the waiter he
would like q meringue glace by way OF
dessert. The proud and naughty person
behind the counter stiffened his spinal
column, and in loud and commanding
tones said:
John, meringue glaceP'
One Of the menials outside the coun.
ter sped ON the errand with lightning
like rapidity, and after apparently max.
ing the delicacy returned with it. On
close examination by the customer IT
was found that numerous small red ants
were racing over it. He mentioned the
fact to the waiter.
What, he exclaimed in Mortified
tone, "ants? Dear, dearP'. Then he
called again: John, John, come here.
Look at thisl Get a meringue glace
without antsI'
What?" said John in q dazed way,
while every man in the room turned his
head and snickered.
"(Set meringue glace without ants, 4"
repeated the proud and naughty one,
with emphasis, "and hurry up about it
too
So John removed the small conven.
tion of insects and soon returned with o
naeringue glace without ants. New

The birds of summer take their
southern flight,
The trees put on their robe of tint
ed gold;
The flowers cease to blossom, and the
blight
Ofwinter, speaks of autumn grow
old.
The grasses once so green By waving
banks
Lie all crumpled, dyeing for the
sun;
The fern leaves in the forest tall and
rank
With withered petals show the end
has come.
Cold chilling blasts cut down the ten
der plant,
The whirling leaves now dead and
scattered round
Seem singing low plaintive mourn
full chant,
The death. that all of natures
pride hath found.
The ragged branches in the signing
treSS
Show barren gainst yon gray and
leaden cloud;
The moaning winds now mocking
summers breeze,
Fold natures dead in cold and icy
shroud.
Soon will the lingering last leaves
droop and die.
And like the daises back to earth
Will go;
While heav'n above will seem to weep
and sigh,
AT coming OF the frozen winds and
snow.

have had no opportunity of testing
the swimming powers of the anthro
poids, and have not been able so far to
get any direct evidence on the point;
but there is strong presumption that
the more bulky ones, such as the orang
and gorilla, which adopt semi-erect
attitude in walking, are as helpless in
the water as man is. Some of the Cyno.
cephali are expert swimmers, and Mr..
C. Bartlett informs me that chacma
baboon at the geological gardens would
dive into the seal pond and pick up OBJ
jects from the bottom. These baboons,
however, dwell far away from the for.
ests. and have lived non-arboreal life
long enough to have acquired a typi.
cally quadrupedal mode of progression.
A chacma, when climbing. advances
both hands together and follows them
up with both feet, 50 that the animal
practically gallops upward. A mans
gait when mounting ladder is much
more that of true arboreal animal
than a baboon's. Some of the slim
South American monkeys. such as the
Cebida, swim to islands in the river,
and Mr. Bartlett has seen them in the
act of crossing. Mr.. Alfred Russell
Wallace, however, informs me that
they seldom or never cross the larger
streams, as is proved by the fact that
these often form the boundaries be-
tween the territories OF allied species.
