THE GRAND ARMY.
General Orders from The Commander in.
Chief.

Commander-inC Chief I. N. Walker
G. a. r., in General Orders No II
says, in part:
The inspector general reports 10
| these headquarters that up to the 18th
| of the present month he had received
| reports of department inspectors from
| only % departments, and of assistant
| inspectors general from only nine OF
| the As departments from which reports
are due. This neglect is a serious en-
barrassment to the inspector general
| and greatly dctriIpcntal to the interest
of the order. The commander-in-
chief therefore urges all department
inspectors and all assistant inspectors
general who have not performed their
duty under art. 5, of chap 5. of the
| rules and regulations, to do 50 imme-
diately. and send their reports to Will
liam NJ. Olin, inspector general, State
House. Boston.
The surgeon general reports that the
medical directors of the departments
have been very remiss in sending in
their reports to him. These reports
should be promptly forwarded by the
first day of July to DIR. j. b. Whiting.
surgeon general GAINESVILLE, Wisconsin,
in order TO enable him to make his re-
port to the COMMUNICATIVE chief before
the national encampment. Suitable
blanks can be obtained by addressing
the quartermaster-g general.
All proposed alterations or amend
ments To rules or regulations that have
been approved by department encamp-
ments must be certified to the add
jutant- general before July 10, in order
to secure legal notice to representa-
tives. The circular containing them
will be issued about that date
The new edition of the Blue Book :"
prepared by Comrade Robert b. Beath
containing all the decisions down to
the present administration, is now
completed, and acquisitions will be
filed after July 10. Comrades desiring
them should make acquisitions through
post quartermaster on the A. Q. NJ G.
of their department.
The COMMUNICATIVE chief is much
Sratited by the hearty response to re-
quests for donations to assist our com

servance of Memorial day. Every re-
QUESTION for money or flags was duly

but il this influence is to be fully
felt they must work together in
cordial friendship, each people in
its own sphere OF action If they
have great power they have also
great responsibility. No cause they
espouse can fail Of triumph. The
future is in large part theirs. They

In his paper before the section of
legal education of the American Bar
Association the Hon. Randolph
Tucker OF Vermont considered what
is the best training for the American
bar of the future.
He maintained first, that the law
yer, as
MINISTER AT THE BAR OF JUSTICE
through the actual lex, must be
trained to believe his employment is
public duty primarily to God and
his country, not mere vocation for
private wealth or honor, and that
his functions as lawyer or judge
are to be performed for the promo
ton of truth aud right and for the
defeat OF ialsehood and wrong.
Second, the lawyer should have
liberal culture.
Third, as law is an historic science
the student must be taught and
should learn the history OF legal
science, and should be taught and
learn comparative jurisprudence,
thus broadening his views OF his
own by comparison with others and
avoiding the nari owness and error
which comes from a too exclusive
consideration OF his own local policy.
Fourth, constitutional law is a
special theme for the lawyer Of the
United States, for in the integrity
and supremacy OF these constitu-
tions our men, States and govern
ments, State and Federal, depend
the perpetuity Of our union aud
the prosperity of our liberties as
men.
HOW LONG SHALL WE STUDY
concede three years is better
than two, and two than none. adj
NIT one year, two years, is too short
a period for such course-nay,
would prefer four, five years to three.
Mr.. Tucker closed by saying that
while urging a longer course Of
study than one year, efforts have
been made to lay foundation OF
legal principles based on moral
truth and leading cases such as put
the student in condition for such
self training for life aud insure to
him the eminent ability that will ct
him for the most exalted duties Of

NeVada'S Loneliness.

A woman named Ida Meacham Stro-
bridge, writes long article in the San
Francisco Chronicle about Nevada s
mirages. She sees all sorts of odd
shapes on the Humboldt desert and each
one contains man. In her excited i'm
agination when she travels in Humboldt
county she sees the form of men start
from every rock and bush. She closes as
follows:
"Neyada is but gray waste of sand
and sage brush, lying in her pitiful lonli-
ness under gray sky.
"Utter desolation today is like yester-
day-tomorrow will be like today. The
sun rises each morning upon scene
which never alters, except when a
change is wrought by the mirage in its
Elusive, elusive mystery"
The writer of the above has never
travelled, as she could, over miles OF al
falfa, grain, smiling acres of meadow
land, beautiful gardens and the like. She
overlooks the fact that Nevada put 36 of
her products in competition at the
Worlds Fair and took SO first premiums.

The Lower Humboldt.

Some of our exchanges say the Hum
boldt river is lower than it has been for
ten years. This is impossible says the
Reno Journal. The bed of the Humbolo
was dry near Lovelocks in 1889, and a
hole sunk by the railroad company in
the river bed right under the railroad
bridge did not reach water. Good crops
of alfalfa we're raised in the valley never
theless. The soil in the Humboldt Val
lay near Loveiock is remarkably fertile
and the farmers ought not to grumble
about dry season once in six or eight
years, as the soil produces as much in
two years of wheat, alfalfa and other
crops as ordinary land does in four or
five years.

No Change.

The Hale & Norcross situation is un-
changed. superintendent Tangerman
Is as obnoxious to the miners of Nir-
ginia as he was on the day they passed
the resolution refusing to recognize him
AS Superintendent of the Hale & Nor
cross mine. So far Mr.. Lynch and his
party have not been down the mine.
They went on a long drive down the
river yesterday and inspected some of
the mills. They travelled us far as Car
son and it is reported that Mr. Lynch
and Mr.. Tangerman paid lengthy visit
to Acting Governor Sadler. The presu-
mable object of their visit was to request
Sadler to call out the militia in case any
trouble should occur on the Comstock.
No trouble is likely to occur, but the
officers OF the Virginia Union say that
the Union will refuse to allow any one
to 60 down to work under Tangerman.
They say that the choice OF Tangerman
was direct insult directed at the Com
stock, as his reputation had deem declar-
ed unsavory by whole carload of the
most reputable citizens of the Comstock
taken down to impeach testimony dur.
ing the Hale q Norcross trial.-Enter-
prise.
The Enterprise says: "There is a well
founded rumor that on Monday next il
is the intention of the new directors to
start up the mine under the superinten.
dency OF Tangerman. A force of mer
sufficient to keep twenty men as guard!

of l05 applications for work received by
