should be his sufficient voucher.

Hunting. the wild Goat.

The White Goat. Or Rocky Mountain Goat. as
it is indiscriminately called, is a species of big
game rarely hunted by sportsmen. This is not
SO much because Of THE difficulty of killing the
animal. nor because Of its actual rarity. 1t is
stupid animal, easily shot when once found.
1t is not, however, found in the usual hunting
grounds, as bear, deer. elk. etc 1t is re-
mote from the common localities, but where
found is in gOody numbers. 1t ranges very
high up in the mountains, above timber line
usually, among rocks and ellis. This requires
great labor to get to it. but once there the hun
ter will get his game nine times out of ten.
II you care to read of goat hunt made in the
Bitter Root Range in Montana. in the Fall of
1885, send six cents TO Charles S. Fee General
Passenger Agent. Northern Pacific Rail way, St
Paul, Mimi, for Wonderland '96, which re-
counts such hunting OK petition.

ARMY AND NAVY.

The cost of the Army during the last year
was $l6.074,46S, an increase of $755. 527 over
last year, according to the report of Paymaster.
General Stanton. The report points out that
the increase is due to new legislation, by which
the pay of enlisted men during their first year
is restored from 50 to $13 per month, and the
service pay due soldiers is made payable
monthly. TO Offset this, however, there have
been several points Of saving, viz, on mileage
of officers and pay of volunteers.
The retirement of Gen. Vincent brings about
the following changes: Lieut.-Col. Merritt Bar
Der. stationed at Chicago. becomes Colonel, and
Maj. John c. Gilmore becomes Lieutenant Colo
mel and Assistant Adiutant-G General. A vacancy
is left in the rank of Major. for which there
are about 100 applications by Captains and
Leutenants Of the line.

MOVE IN THELONG CASE,

Judge Charles r. Long of the Michigan Su.
preme Court has made application to the Pen
sion Bureau for restoration to his old pension
rating, and has filed evidence to support his
application. This move was an unexpected
one even among those we'll acquainted with
tho case, and is taken as an indication that
Judge Long will abandon, for the present, his
fight in the courts and will submit to the rule
Of the office to file evidence to secure his resto.
ration.
The contest was precipitated about two years
ago by the action of Commissioner Lochren in
reducing him to $50 a month after ordering
him for examination before Board of Sur
geons He refused to be examined, and was
Immediately reduced though his counsel have
claimed this action was violation of law,
which made examination a prerequisite to re-
duction.
The Bureau based its action on the conten-
ton that Judge Long was not entitled to the
higher rating because he required only &C.
casional and not regular aid and attendance.
This was combatted with exhaustive evidence
intended to show that he required assistance
regularly in dressing; that he had been as
sisted in the neighborhood of "a. 600 times since
wounded, in April. 1862, and was a physical
wreck by reason of two shot wounds, one cut
ting off the left arm and the other passing in
at the left hip and producing horrible dis
orders
The case was carried through all the courts
here. the decisions being favorable to tho con-
testant, and finally reached the United States
Supreme Court. where it was dismissed recently,
owing to abatement through Judge Lochrcn's
retirement from Office. Judge Long, mean
time, on the advice of counsel did not draw
any of his pension money, which is held sub
ject to his wishes.
The disposition of the case has been referred
by Commissioner Murphy to Assistant Secre-
tary of the Interior Reynolds, who will take
early action. 1t having been decided that a
contest could not be successfully concluded
within the few months now remaining to the
present official regime. the Michigan Chief
Justice was advised to wait until the next adj
ministration and then renew the fight.

who is enthusiastic over our possibilities thinks
we need only art to make Us the greatest of all

quently of our lack of this fine something
spirit, soul, art-whatever it is. individuals
may, and undoubtedly do. possess it, but as a
Nation We do seem to lack. One argues that
the trouble is in our-public schools; the teach
ers say it lies in lack of fine home training
Wherever be the fault, the children of our land
are precocious and keen in their lessons, and
are crammed with knowledge; but wisdom
fingers. Children get two or three times more
knowledge than they can digest. Most chill
dren let the burden of learning slip lightly
from their minds, and they romp and frolic
and are as care free as they should be; but the
question is whether they should be daily
crammed with ideas, only one-third of which
will find any Judgment whatever. I suppose
the present school system is the finest that can
be devised for the average child, and really the
fault does lie in the home. Precocous chill.
dren should be kept back continually or they
become worn out with studying. and find them
selves in possession of very little wisdom and
culture.
