Valuable Keepsake.

c. o. Mousse, of Minneapolis, well
known as the first white male child
bern in Minnesota, had a relic of the
civil war to show the G. A. Z. visitors
last week. Mr.. Mousse, having re-
moved from Minnesota to Missouri in
1855, enlisted at the breaking out OF
the war, in Company B of the Second
Missouri infantry. He was with the
Confederate army at Vicksburg when
Pemberton surrendered to Grant, and
was paroled with the rest of the pris-
oners captured. The original parole
document is in the hands of the gov
eminent, but few weeks ago Mr..
Mousse received from the war depart

James William Dawes, captain of the
Ninety-seventh Illinois, who was pa
rolling official Mr.. Mousse, who re-
moved to Minnesota in 1885, after an
absence of 80 years. prizes this docu.

business he is perfectly willing that
bill should pass. The Senator's motives
are not perhaps of the highest, but that
is of little consequence. II his advise Is
followed the Republicans will have no
difficulty in speedily passing such a tariff
measure AS they may be able to agree
upon. If business fails to revive under. 1T
there can be no question that the failure
will be very helpful to the silver agita-
tors. They will then say of course that
the result confirms what they have
been saying. that the trouble is not
with the tariff but with the currency,
and that it will never be cured until the
country takes dose of their free silver
medicine. Continued depression in
business undoubtedly means an agitation
of the silver question much more violent
and harder to defeat than that the ooun-
try witnessed last summer and fall. A
great many work ingmen voted the Re
publican ticket at the last election, be-
cause they believed the election of Nc
Kinley meant speedy return. of pros
psrity and good wages. If their antici-
pations are not realized, no matter
whether the Republican party is to

about and vote the opposition ticket next
time. 1t is highly important
therefore that the Republicans
should remove as quickly as
may be. so far as possible by legisa ton,

and industry. A ehange'in the tariff is
Idoubtless one essential, and lit looks

CURRENT COMMENT.
A DIPLOMATIC PICNIC.
(From the Washington Post. }

Senator Calls proposition for oon-
gressional investigation of the circum-
stances surrounding the death of Maceo
reminded Senator Proctor of funny
story.
Some years ago, when the questions OF
immigration and yellow fever and cholera
ere being looked into. a subcommittee
of the Senate was appointed, consisting
of Senators Proctor, Chandler and Call,
to visit Havana. 1t was just before the
Christmas holidays, as in this case, and
visit to the Cuban port in winter sea-
son is not without its attractions The
proposed trip, however. rather disturbed
the Spanish minister. He knew the bel
Iigerent propensities Of Chandler and
Gall, and hastened to the state depart
msnt with dispatch from Madrid, an
xious to learn whether the investiga alton
was proposed with peaceable intent.
Secretary Foster listened to the excited
minister with great suavity. There is
no occasion for alarm" he said. reas-
suringly "You know that the holiday
recess is approaching. and these senators
are simply arranging for pleasure trip.
I am sure there is nothing else in 1t.
A great light of intelligence broke over
the Spanish ministers face.
"Oh'', he exclaimed, "a peek-neek,
peek-neek!''
And he went away much relieved.

One of the important changes that
has been wrought in the minds Of min
ing men by the acquired knowledge o.
the past twenty years concerns the
theory held in regard to pochaty min
es whore the same were found in for
nation in place. Twenty years age
1t was popular belief that pockety
mine was distinct from a true vein.
and that each owed its existence to
entirely distinct conditions in the orr
ginal deposition of the values. This
theory Is now nearly abandoned, and
1t il generally accepted that the pres
encs OF ore in pockets is sure evidence
of vein, however imperfect the vsin
may be in the region where the pock-
cts are found. It is not at ali uncom-
mon to find series of pockets near
the outcrop of vein where the same
has been mere exposed to disturbing
agents from the surface, " lille as depth
Is attained the deposits take on the
characteristics of true vein with we'll
defined walls. The Tiewaukee in
Bingham is good example of this.
For years after it's discovery it was
worked in d succession of pockets near
the outcrop, and was referred to as q
pockety mine, but as grea. er depth
was attained the true vein character
lstlcs commenced to appear, and to-
day it is generally needed that the
Tiewaukee is true vein.
The new light that has been thrown
on the pockety mine question is worthy
OF consideration and investiga ion, as
there are undoubtedly many valuable
properties now lying idle because the
belief was entertained by the owners
that the last pocket had been worked
out, whereas little more exploration
