Gen. Miles has a collection of \ unting weapons even greater than uit of Dr Webb, and Captains Baldin and Maus arc well supplied, aptain Baldwin, who has been re?ntly stationed in the Indian Terri- a >ry, is one of the best shots in the my, and has a wide reputation at ic army posts where he has served i a thorough sportsman.?New York mrnal. Trom A Southern Standpoint" h Under this heading the Wilmingn (N. C.) Star gives a temperate itement of the reasons why there is *strong free-silver sentiment at the ^tli and West.
