Winning" Him Back.
One of tfio travelers for a new fresh
Art goods Louse recently arrived in
tovrn in the interior of the state to find
hgt one of his best customers was
Jbout to transfer his custom to a Bos-
ton Louse.
Didn't we always do well by you?"
wked tho New Yorker as he Bat down
for an explanation.
Yes I believe so.
"Don't we ship your goods prompt-
ly". "And did we ever press you xu a
"Ho.
"Do you get lower prices of the Bos-
ton house?" ' m
To I can't say as I do ;
"l'hen we. can't understand why you
should leave all of a sudden after buy-
ing of us for several years." ...
"I know that some explanation is due
and I will make oiio" replied the mer-
chant. ' '
"You know that I attend church."
"Yes and so do I."
"Do you? I didn.t know that. I am
looked upon a3 a christian."
"So am I I've got a date of my bap-
tism right here in my book."
"Is that so! Well our church is in
need of repairs. - We were talking it
over the other day and the Boston
drummer .was in. hero and he at once
Bubscribed ten dollars."
"Ten dollars ! Why that's only two
kegR of nails. Put me down thirty
dollars cash a new silk hat for every
season and a full suit of clothes for
the minister." ' "
"Do you really mean it?"
"Of course I do and if that two-cent
christian from Boston dares to sign
another five I'll send down a ' $600
organ and pay a man $500 a year to
play it. We are a house which never
makes any display of gospel hymns
and religiousjtract? but when a Boston
drummer bluffs we show our religious
hands and rako in the pot every
time." '
A Western Story of the True Flavor.
From the Butte (Montana) Inter-llouutaiu.-
Forty-eight years ago John Saunders
one of the wealthiest cattle kings of
Montana who was then a poor youth
with nothing to recommend him but a
spotless reputation and a brave heart
became enamored of a Kentucky belle
whose father was a rich man. His ten-
derness was reciprocated but the parent
of the young lady refused his consent
to the marriage and was inexorable.
Young Saunders was too honorable to
prcs3 his suit in a family where his
presence was unwelcome. He sought
an interview with the girl's parent who
for the twenty-third aud last time told
him to abandon all hope of marriage as
far as his daughter was concerned as
the difference in their social positions
was an insurmountable barrier. "How
much are you worth?" asked the young
lover. "Transfer my property into
$1000000 cash" was the haughty reply.
"Very well" answered young Saunders
"to-morrow morning I leave for the
"West to carve out a fortune and when
I size up. to your $1000000 I will re-
turn and claim my bride for I know
she will be true." The youngman kept
his promise after a long and sorrowful
interview with his inamorata and with
a small outfit struck out bravely for the
western Teritories. Since that time
forty-eight years have elapsed during
which with varying" success he has
dipped into numerous enterprises from
the British line to Sonora. He came
to Montana in early days and embarked
in the cattle business with a firm of
Helena with such success that the firm
now owns nearly 20000 head on the
Teton. About a month ago Saunders
figured up his assets concluded he was
worth $1000000 and left for Kentucky.
He found the love of his young days
waiting for him confident and hopeful
of his final arrival. The two were mar-
ried with as little ceremony as possible.
They arrived at Butte this evening and
after a short visit will proceed to their
home in the Teton Valley where the
groom is greatly respected.
Stealing Newspapers.
Some people in Hunt county as well
as in other counties are in the habit of
getting thier neighbors' papers from
the post office and appropriating the
same to their own use. We have a sub-
scriber to the Banner in Greenville
who missed his paper for several weeks
iu succession and of course he Was giv-
ing us "hail Columbia" about stopping
his paper but iust as he was crettinK
excited enough to visit our sanctum '
with a club (not a club of subscribers?
either) he discovered that one of his
neighbors had been taking his paper
from the post olfice regularly actually
makini' a systematic business ol steal
ing.a newspaper which costs only tnree - h j levity turuPj awaywith-
centsaweck. Such things occur too . . J. 'fr;.j ;;;. -aP.
often and it m a duronutaUe ixt fr-
toy man to be guilty of. Of course it
is oxten done through carelessness and
neglect but that does not prevent "
xrom injuring the basinets of a news -
people subscribe for a perVher do

' " Shaving the Face.
Thirty .years ago a few persons of
foreign birth appeared in tho streets
with' hair on the upper t lip and were
objects of curiosity and sometimes of
publio ridicule. In 1850 6ome of the
young swells of the metropolis began
to wear mustaches but for some time
no clerk would venture to imitate them.
In one case a merchant on Pino street
who had just engaged a clerk for twelvo
months or during good behavior dis-
charged him for wearing a full beard
claiming that the adoption of the fash-
ion laid the clerk upon the dismissal
under the good-behavior clause to the
contract. About the same time a num-
ber of leading merchants gave notice
that they would employ nobody who
wore hair on the upper lip. As late as
1851 the senior proprietor of this paper
made his cashier shave off an idcipient
mustache and soon after brought his
own son under the razor. In the church
of Dr. Bethune on Brooklyn Heights
an elder who was suffering from a lame
wrist allowed his beard to grow rather
than submit to a barber. The habit
beginning in necessity continued on
account of the increase' of comfort
which it afforded and the elder flaunted
his beard before the congregation con
stantly. The result was laughable
Many of the bretheren called upon the
pastor to insist upon doing away with
such a scandal as a full-bearded elder.
He led them to his library and showed
them how some of the early fathers had
pleaded against cutting off the beard.
"He turned to Lactantius Theodore
St. Augustine and St. Cyprian who
had stoutly contended for the growth
of the whole beard. He quoted from
Clement of Alexander the assertion
that 'nature adorned men like a lion
with a beard as a mark of strength
and power.' When one of the visitors
asked him how' he would like it if the
clergy assumed the mustache. Dr. Be-
thune referred him to a decision of the
fourth Council of carthage (A. D. 252
can. ii) in which it was positively en-
acted that a cleric shall not shave his
beard and to a statement made by Lu-
ther in discussing the subject that 'all
the Protestant martyrs were burned in
their full beards.'" This did not settle
the matter for subsequently the ladies
of the congregation put in their protest.
But in a few months a venturesome
lawyer let his beard grow after the
manner of the elder and in a little while
smooth shaven faces were no longer
the rule but were the exception. Neio

The Largest Diamond Found This
. Century.
London Timet
On Saturday night November 12.
one of the great diamonds of the world
the largest according to Mr. Edwin
Streeter whioL Las been found this cen
tury was exhibited at 18 New Bond
street. It was discovered in the claim
of Mr. Porter Rhodes in the Kimberly
Mine South Africa and by its remark
able whiteness completely disposes of
the charge against Africa of being the
nurse of tawny diamonds. Tho surface
diamonds Lad indeed a yellow Luo but
now that tho miners have gone below
tho trap they find in Jagersfonteiu and
other famous regions of the Griqna
diamond fields tho clearest bine
white stones. The Porter Rhodes dia-
monds was brought to light on Febru
ary 12 1880 and before it left tho dia
mond fields 500 (which was placed to
the credit of the local hospital) Lad been
paid by spectators admitted to see it
60000 Lad been offered for it in vain
by a syndicate of London jewelers. It
weighs 150 carats is still uncut but is
so cloven that the "table" and one of
'steps" are already formed and it will
lose less than most diamonds in the cut-
ting being expected to produce a not
weight of about 100 carats when it as
sumes the form of a brilliant. Its great
purity of color and compactness of
shapo make it a beautiful object even
in its present rough state.
Mr. Streeter shows near it models of
other famous diamonds tho Koh-i-Noor
(10G 1-1G carats) with which Mr.
Rhodes has been enabled by the Queen's
permission to compare it at Windsor
the Star of the South (the great Brazilian
stone) the Dresdon Drop etc. together
with the unique jewel the Mnckay dia-
mond in which a smaller stone has
been cmbeded by some freak of na-
ture. It was interesting to compare
with these gems tho more valuable jew-
el from South Africa and the compari-
son was enjoyed by a numerous compa-
ny among whom were many members
of the Corps Diplomatique Mr. Chil-
der Lord E. Churchill and others. Tho
diamond war shown to the Queen and
to Princess Beatrice and the Duke of
Albany at Osborne in January of this
year and Her Majesty presented Mr.
Rhodes on that occasion with a watch
which he showed on Saturday with as
much pride as his big diamond.
Tactics and Strategy
Should there be a war in Europe
it will be fought under far different
conditions than any previous contest
upon record. The breech-loading rifle
has made even a more marvelous revol
ution than that effected by the use of
gunpowder. In our civil war the armies
fought' with smooth-bore muzzel-load
ing muskets Which were destructive only
within a range of two hundred yards
then the reloading took time ; but tho
breech-loading rifle will kill at a thoxv
sand yards and can be discharged with
marvelous rapidity. This renders tho
bayonet an obsoleto implement of war
and a charging column is now out of
the question. Troops can be no lenger
used in mass to hurl against an oppo-
sing enemy as they would bo killed to
the last man before they could see the
faces of their enemies. Hence the bat-
tles of the future will be between armies
distant from each other with the troops
under cover or protected by rifle-pits
and entrenchments. The spade must
accompany the rifle. This will prolong
battles and armies may be fighting
literally for weeks before the conclusion
is reached. The strategy as well as the
tactics of armies must correspond with
the new conditions for vast bodies of
men can by means of our improved
transportation systems be concentrated
in great numbers upon important points.
Hence we get tho curious results of
battles long drawn out with compara-
tively short and decisive campaigns.
All recent European wars have been
remarkably short as well as decisive.
War hereafter will not be so picturesque
for gay uniforms are being 6et aside
for clothing the colors of which will
not afford an aim for the distant marks-
man. They are also getting rid of
military bands and drum corps which
are useless when there are no charging
columns to be inspired by martial
strains. War hereafter will be a very
mechanical and scientic business and
these vast changes are nearly all due to
the repeating rifle the railroad and the
telegraph system. DemortuVg Month-
