As a result of the commingling of ideas between the representative MIU Itary men in attendance upon the Na­ tional Gpard Convention, a memorial was prepared which will bo submitted to Congress in urging the passage of a national militia law. Gen. Crdway, of Washington, who baa given the Subject great thought, gave an inter­ esting resume of the legislation which has taken place following tbe close of the Revolutionary War down to the present time. He declared that soon aftar tho Federal government was or­ ganised, Gen. Knox. Secretary of War. submitted to Congress his celebrated plan for organizing the militia. HIS plan was very elaborate and thorough, and Is asserted to liave been sanction­ ed KY President Washington, He proposed that everf American youth, on attaining IS veurs of age, should be furnished with arms and a uniform by Tlie Government, and be obliged to serve In a camp of military instruc­ tion thirty day? in each of the next two years, and ten days the third year% so that on Attaining the age of 21 YEAR^ he would have received the .elenienfc*ry Instruction of a soldier. The ques­ tion of the militia was debated through three successive setoioqe of Congress, and the plan presenced by Gen. Knox was modi Hod :ind amended until It lost all its original features, AND an inconsistent LFW was finally passed In 1792. This law baft remained on the statute books , and the milit ia are nominally aeting under it to-day, The desirabi l i ty of dividing the mil i t ia into active and Inactive classes was constantly urged upon Congress by successive Presidents and the subject' was continually agitated, but all at. tempt* to agree upon a plan failed, and tbe only change LLLTHED in the mil l . t la law was the provis ion made in 1808 for an annual appropriation o( #200,000 to furnish arms, The law now in force requires ML- litia duty from every cltlRen betweeu 19 an 45 years of age. and requires each individual to provide hiiuseif with arms, ammunition and kn&pcaok. It thelaw shout D be Auforced the armed militia force of the country would amount to nearly seven million men. HLFJLIYEE of TH$^ JPIHTU required by this law. tlie States have foctercd volun­ teer militia organisation, which have gradually increased until now they form the only actual militia force. These facts are shown in the memorial to Congress, and it is urged that among the causes which operate to hinder the efforts of the volunteer militia to per­ fect their organization is the fact that they are not recognised by Federal laws; that THE annual appropriation IS eutirely inadequate to properly equjp the existing force. And that, owing to the phraseology of the law. the pur­ pose of the annual appropriation Is limited to supply! TIG arms .and equip­ ments, and that camp equipage, cloth* ing, blankets, anil other articles abso­ lutely needed by the militia cannot be procured by them exitept in those States that make Stat? appropriations to eupply them, The memorialists urge tbe necessity under our form of government of a WELL organised, well instructed militia, thoroughly equipped and ready for in­ stant use. IT )vas then suggested that the existing law be amended as fol> lows I 1. To divide the enrolled mil i t ia into two classes, the active aud inac­ tive. 2. To recognize the volunteer mili­ tia organizations of the respective States as the "active militia." 3. To increase the annual appropri­ ation for the miiitia to 91,000.000. 4. To provide that the annual appro­ priation be applied to furnishing cloth­ ing and camp equipage, as well as arms and equipments, or when desired by any State, may be applied to the pay­ ment of its militia for duty In annual camp of instruction. The memorialists deprecated any change In the relations between the Federal Government and the mil i t ia that HAVE new become well established by long custom. AN order has been Issued directing field and stafl officers of the 2d infon- tryto report at the regimental armory as follows: Colonel, on Mondays; lieutenant colonel, on Tuesdays; major, on Wednesdays; adjutant, on Thurs­ days , and inepector of rifle practice , on Fridays, ' The honorable discharge of Fint Sergeant Charles •. Schappel, Com­ pany B„ 1st Infantry, has been asked.

A correspondent of the Waukegau Republican from Antloch, has the fol­ lowing iu relation to the ancient mounds which are found so numerons in that county: "Located southwest of this village about two miles and a half or three miles, is a tract of land ( a n d w a t e r ) t h e . h i s t o r y o f w h i e h . i f known, would prove very interesting to every reading resident of Lake County. I refpr particularly to the north bank of Fox Lake and along the Grass Lake borders, where huge mounds, evidently erected by human beings centrirles ago, can to-day be seen. Curiosity has frequently led the farmers Hvlng-iu that vicinity to dig down into the mounds, and the re> suit of their investigations has given conclusive evidence that a race of be­ ings entirely distinct from that which now inhabits that locality Once lived there. Mr. Win. $oules, whose farm runs into Grass Lake, and who has lived in that locality for thirty years or thereabouts, tells some Interesting stories of the discoveries he aud his neighbors have made at various times. Onee while digging into one of these mounds, Mr. Soules urearthed the skeleton df a man considerably over six feet In keight. The peculiarity of the position in which this particular skeleton was found, caused the Inci­ dent to be Impressed upon-the memory of Mr. Soules, with .whom it was no new thing to find human bone*, stone implements of warfare and agriculture cooking utensils, etc. The frame allud­ ed to which was once covered with human flesh, was found standing bolt uprtght, with the head thrown par. tiully backward over the shoulders, aud the right arm raised above the head, with the fingers of the HIM>D pointing heavenward. The left hand hung at the side of the skeleton, and the feet were placed close together. This singular find was reported in the nelghborheod. and was viewed by m a n y r e s i d e n t s o f t h e l o c a l i t y . A t another time, Mr. Soules found, far beneath the surface, a peculiar human skull. About two inches, or perhaps less, above the eyes the head was per­ fectly flat and eveu. but in every other way it resembled the ordinary skull of a human being. He lias found at differ­ ent times innumerable skulls, probably belonging to a now extinct race, be­ sides othet bones of human skeletons, SOMETIMES the farmers plow them up while {tigaged in their work, AND TM hills for miles arouiid these lakes ap­ pear to have been literally strewn with these bone#, which lie a short distance below ^THE SNVTNCE of the ground. "Mr. Joseph Jaffi«S| who Uvea near the lake, had been troubled considera­ bly while ploughing by A huge stone WHICH occupied the center of his corn­ field, One day last fall he decided to remove the obstruction. Tlie task was not an easy task by any means, but at length he succeeded in bringing tho stone to llgbt, when he waf not A little surprised to find.that it closely resembled A human bust, The arms are cut off near the shoulders, and the work was evidently done by an exper­ ienced sculptor. THE stone measures several feet across, and weighs many pounds. Mr. JIIIQES is not disposed to part with liis "find" for a song. Presence at Mind In an Euiorgetioy. I t was during the seige of Wagner, and the Union parallels were but a few hundred yards away frotri tbe line of grim black tubes that ever and anon "emboweled with outrageous poise the air, disjforging foul their devilish glut of iron globes." Aline of abatis was to be built across a clear space In point blank range of the rebel gunners &nd sharp-shooters. * •'Sargeant11 says one of the officers In charge,"go pace that opening and give me tlie distance as nearly as pos­ sible." Says tlie ̂ argeant, for we will let him tell the rest of the story, "I started right off. When I got to the opening I put er like the dev(L in a gale of wind, What with grape, can- nister, round shot, shell, and «a regular bees' uest of rifle balls, I think there must have been a fearful drain of am­ munition on the Confederate Govern­ ment about that time. I don't know how IT was but I didn't get so much as a scratch, but I did get powerful scared. When I'd got under rover 1 c o u l d n ' t e r t o l d f o r m y L L F « w h e t h e r i t was a hundred or a hundred thousand paces; I *hou)I1 sooner a guessed a hun­ dred thousand. Says the Captain, 'Well. Sargeant, what did you make it?' Soon's I could get my wind, says I, 'Give a guess, Captalfi.' He looks 80*088 the opening A second or two, and then says,'a hundred and seventy- five pace?, say.' 'Thunder, Captain.' says, I, 'you have made a pretty close guess, it's just a hundred and seventy- one.' " •'And." added the Sargeant after the laugh had subsided, "THAT'S how 1 GOT my shoulder straps.** -1 Don't Want That Is what a lady of Bostqn said to her husband when he brought home some medicine to cure her ot sick headache and neuralgia which had ncade her miserable for fourteen years.

One 6f the most singular natmt phenomena in this section of Montana, is the formation of two geysers In tks strip of country known as the. •'Sag," about a mile and a half from Mr. Pat* tereon's ranch on the Shonkln. It first seen about a JOOnth ago, but until lately has it assumed proportions which constitute Its wonderful forma* tlon. It is situated In a small eanymt running out from the wall of rock* ON the east side of Alkali Lake. TWO geysetS have appeared, or.e of thea being of monster proportions, throw* ing up a column of hot water and steam over one hundred feet high; tbe other spouting about fifty feet, but with A' larger proportion of water, diameter ^ about four incites. They are Intel* inittent in character , and are active fa the morning hours, about eight or nine o'clock. The formation of the country is a sandstone and gneiss, and has alt the appearance of an ancient rlvit bed. What has produced this cnrioM phenomenon, IT is of course useless to speculate, as there is uo evidence of volcanic aoclvSty, and no hypothesis can be formed which will account for It.--North ontana River Prem, S 'J tar The Sleeping Beauty of the day.
