Of that simple cross rudely carred j by a knife in some friendly hand, is the name and date: PHILIP Ji'GISS, April 7, A little above, certainly not many hundred yard?, but out of sight around the sharp spur of the moan tains, are situated the great Bvlton coal mines, their tal wooden shafts rising up in the midst ol the solitude noisy with never halting machinery and surrounded by marks of never ending toil. Here and there along the gulches and the canon?, which are crossed in every direction by black-ash paths, can be seen the little wreaths of smoke curling up into the blue sky. showing where the dark-browned del vers in the depths below make their humble homes. The enow lies trampled and dirty from the pit house in every direction and the great heaps of slack show the employment of a great force of workers. Not one of them all to-day but as he passes that lonely grave beside the trail, will reverently bend bis head and feel that standing therehe is verv close to God. If vou have time to listen I will tell the simple little story again for you. I was acting as foreman over the nignt shift at the "Mohawk" mines all that winter ; a hard, rourh job enough it was, but was all I could get to do ; and this boy, McGinn, was a "helper" in Shaft No. 3. I remember well the night be first came to us. It was in Decem ber, rough and blustering outside, so that even the thin boards of the lit tle shaft house afforded small protec tion from the wind. I was huddled close to a roaring fire. trying to study out some plan fv making the Snake river dam saler before the epnne floods should come. Close as I kept, the red flames roaring up the chimney, yet I would shiver as a heavy blast would come sweeping around the edge of the mountain and shake the cabin as if it were in air. Just then some one knocked at the door, and without even giancine up, I bade whoever it was to come in. A burst of icy wind swept over me a foot shufiled along the floor, and I turned to se a strange boy stand ing before me, bis ragged, patched clothes covered with snow, his face red from the wind, and a pair of big blue eyes looking up anxiously into his face. "What is it, my lad T I asked gently, for ibmething about his for lorn appearance had touched my heart with pity. His eyes fell to the floor, and be stood there for an instant twirling his ragged - bat in his cold bands without saying a word. Then be gulped out, as if manfully trying to keep back the tears : "Please, sir, I want some work !" Hi voice was honest, his face ear nest, bis words true. "Sit down, my little man, 'where are you from?"' I said kindly. He put his well worn boots out toward the beat of the fire and look ed straight into my face as he made answer: "From Trinidad, sir. I left there this morning." "Trinidad ?" I echoed in surprise, glancing at the snow beating against the windows almost like hail "Why that is fifteen miles from here!" "I know it, Eir? He shivered a little. "It was very cold, but they said I could get work here. ' "You are rather young for the mines" I began, but he leaned for ward eagerly. "Oh, sir. don't say that ! Father is dead and I must work. I am strong indeed I am, and I must work, or what will become of Mary ?" T f1t the tMrm. in mr nwn fVFw in svrxwthy with his. ""Marv'r I said, "And who is i Mar fr- : "S'be is my sister, sir. She is out there now, waiting to bear :" and he pointed over his shoulder to the Hrtr.r Your sister out there in this j storm '" and in surprise 1 started to i mr feet. i "Ymlbit She i Dcnliar. Marv is ; and she would wait there till I came back." "Then for heaven's sake bring her in : she shall share my fire anyway." Without answering he opened the door and went out into tbe snow. In a few moments be came back again with the sister, a slight built brown haired grri of fifteen, a poorly dress ed ts himeeif, and shivering with the cold. , ' Fox a moment rone of us spoke: then she looked no anxiously into my face and asked": "Did you give Phil something to do, sir?" To resist the pleading hope in her soft voice was more than I could do. J Swept by a sudden thought of my own sisters, far off in an Eastern city, l oert down ana Kissea ner wniie cfceek. "He shall have work, if I have to! make a place for him.' I said. j And tbe sudden l:ght of happiness which sprang into, the blue eyes was my grand reward. I found the boy odd jobs to do about tbe shaft at first and aa be was always able and willing, I ad vanced him in a few days and plao !ed him upon the night shaft as a 1 "helper" at the foot of the shaft j, The girl and boy far she was the i elder ef the two, and quite a woman -p i j took posseeaian of aa old, tumble.

The cold months of tne winter ' rolled on into the dangerous spring eerou. in all mines, bat doubly so in ours because the rising waters of Snake river were only kept from Qoodine oar gaJlenes by an arun rial barrier of earth and rocks. We watched wit anxiouseyes as, inch by inch, the waters fed by the mountain snow, stead !y crept up higher; the owners had pronounced it safe, and we bad to believe them. Such was the situation of things, when one night, early in April, I poshed up the rocky path to my work, and, turning the edge of tne pines saw Mary McGinn standing in the door of her poor shanty, sha ding her eyes with her hands and watching Phil's stabby little figure trudging away in the after-glow. As I cajne up, unnoucea, i spote to her and marked the light of wel come in her eyes as she held out her hand to me. "Oh, sir," she said, looking up in to my face, as if reading every thought, I have wanted to see you all day. I heard some of the men saying, at the store last night, that the mines were unsafe while the riv er was bo high. I sked Phil, and he laughed at me. Bat oh, sir, is it true?" It was hard for me even to at tempt a lie to her, yet could I tell the truth just then ? "Bolton and the engineer both pro nounce ttem safe," I said gravely ; "and they should know better than the rest of us." She read my face while listening to the words. "But you ? jou do not?" she cried. I struck my tin pail against the post and drew a long breath. "JIary, l said, wiin a tenderness new te me, "I am not satisfied, but I hope for the best" She stood there as if tie news had touched her very life. "Poor Phil !" almost in a whisper. "and all I can do ia to pray for him.' I bent lower and closer to hear the words. "And will you forget all the oth ers ?" I asked, longingly. "It makes men stronger to thing some one re members them at home." She looked up into my rough face a moment with tear dimmed eyes, then place both her little hands in mine. "I have always remembered you," she said, and, as a shrill whistle came down the frosty air, recalling me to duty, I followed the impulse of my heart and kissed her cheek, new flushed with red. What I saw in the blue eyea is hard to tell, but I tuned away happier without knowing why than I had been in many years. Twenty of us went down in the cage that night together, and I re member yet the last grand scence as we sank slowly into the shaft The eon was just going down behind the ; ridge, and the distant snow-crowned 1 peaks stood out like cathedral spires against tnerosv sky, wniie across the valley a bridge of golden wire seemed suspended in the air ; and then we dropped away into the black damp depths below. After seeing that the men were weU at work. I led a small party up into one of the side tunned to fik evtoc fvvpa wunu uou muicu uuwu.

I think I was truly mad when the party of rescuers came at last, guid ed down the tannel by my cries. Iu the flickering rays of their lights the first thing my eyes saw was poor Phil, lying crushed under the timbers. At the sight, and be fore they could reach me. A tainted dead away. It was up in the pit-house, with a crowd of ro"gh, sympathetic faces around met that I came to lite once more and looked eagerly around me. "The girl ?" I asked, for she was the first thought, "where is the girl?" They drew back silently, and then I saw her kneeling over a shrouded body in the corner. For her own sake she must be taken away, while the men did all they could with the poor battered figure. The lads helped me to her tenderly. - "Mary," I whispered, taking her cold band in mine, roa cannot help Phil any more, now. Come, let us go home. She looked up at me, her face like death, but without tear in her clear eyes "It is so btrd to leave him here, she said, piteously "is it right?" ie, mv giri, my own voice trembled. "I hink so, and vou must trust me, mary." "Yes." I led her out of the sad place, down the bill toward their little cabin. At the bottom she stopped and looked wistfully back, and as she did so, the tears broke forth at last "Oh, PhiL" she sobbed, 'you were all I bad in the world P The heart came up into my throat at the pitiful loneliness of that cry, and I knew I loved her. "Not all, Mary," I whispered ten derly, "cot all, "if you will turn to me." She locked up into my face bend ing over her, and, I think, read there my earnestness. "You were good to him." she said simply, "and I love yon." The early morning sun came out above the crags, and showered a a a aa gleam 01 goia across tne orown hair, as I led her into the little bouse alone. - That is Phil's grave out yonder, 'by tbe trail, with the white cross j and the snow-covered cedars atand j ing guard above it and somewhere in the years, I think.

In the second year mathematics are a leading feat ure of the studies, which comprise also French, topography and plot ting of surveys with lead pencils, pen and ink and colors, construc tion of the various problem in de- f scriptive geometry, shades and shad ows, and linear perspective and iso metric projections. Practical sur veying in the field during the sea sons of camping out, aptly supple ments the studies in drawing. The study of military tactics comprises practical instruction ia the schools of the soldier, company and battal liou. and ia artillery aad cavalry.

He and bis mate forthwith prepare tne room they share in common, and in a half hour's time he is seated at his breakfast Forty minutes are given him in which to make the first meal of the day. Guard mounting is next in order, taken in turn. Each day's guard consists of tnirty privates, lour non-commissioned officers and the officer ia command, all cadets. At S o'clock one half the students are seated in recitation classes, and the other engaged ia preparation for them. At half-past nine a. x. this half take their places, leaving those who have left the classes at liberty to pursue their preparations for sec ond recitauon. This begins at 11, with half the cadets, as in the first recitation, and lasts an hour, when the remaining students take their turn for the remaining length of time. After dinner, at about two o'clock, another period of recitation is begun lasting an hour each for all the stu dents, who are divided into ;wo sec tions, as before. Classes are resum ed at ten minutes past 4, p. x and last until half-past 5, p. x.

The four greatest general, prod ne ed by the great civil war on the Na tional side, were Grant, NcPberson, Sherman and Sheridan. One of the most pieos-ct memories of Acceri cu btetory is, and will forever be, the fact that between these four ?rc.t commanders there was never the shadow of jealousy or eery.' It is the highest honor that Grant ever received from men judgment or admiration that these three able cap tains all willingly and always looked up to ram as their superior, Alc Iherson fell in bailie before the death Grant aa ha daclaxed, lost one iof the greatest perhaps the very J greatest of his lieutenants. Sben ) dan, as in right of his Irish blood, jhad the fiercest spirit ia battle; j Sherman the greatest invention in council, while McPherson could ' fiht with the one and plan with the I other, bat they all admitted, be- cause they knew and felt that " the silent, griy-ejea man was greater than thev. " Why," I asked General Sher man once, " did you and Sheridan always acknowledge Grant to be your leader V "Because," he responded in bis quick, idiomatic manner, "while I could map out & dozen plana far a campaign, every one of which Sher idan would swear he could fight out to victory, neither he nor 1 could tell which of the plans was the beet one ; but Grant who simply sat nd listened and smoked while we bad been talking over the maps, would at the end of our talking tell us which was the best plan, and in a dozen or two words the reason or , his decision, aad then it would all 1 cIear to "us that he was right tileridia and I would look at we hain't seen the advantage ef it our selves." " I tell you," he continued, after a moment's paose, Grant is not ap preciated yet Ihe critics of Europe are too ignorant of American geogra phy to appreciate the conditions of i rus campaigns. What is it to marcn an arm v from Uerun to fans r Loos at the shortness of the distance. Look at the multitude of roads. Lock at the facilities of transporta tion. Consider how many times the same ground has been foug&t over by successive commanders. Is cot every point of vantage known? What commander can blunder where all the conditions lie open to his eye? Bat 1 have seen Grant plan campaign lor half a million troops along a front line of '2XJ miles in length, and send them marching to their objective points through sections where the survey or's chain was never drawn, and where the commissiariat necessities alone would have broken down any transporutioa syatea. of Europe ; and three months later I have teen those armies standing where he said they should be, what he planned and accomplished. And I give it as my military opinion that General Grant is the greatest commander of modern times, aad with him only three others can stand Napoleon, Wellington, and Moltke." Montrr al Gazette.
