'What can yon tell me about the history and merits of this riflef asked the reporter of Capt. S. A. Day, picking up a handsome Springfield. "That is beginning right at home," was the reply. "The Springfield rifle is the one with which our own troops are armed. It has the hinged breech-block, with the upward and forward action.. It is a good gun and has done good service, bnt it is a little out of date. It is good for 800 yards, but not a foot further. We -have tried to shoot it at 1.000 yards, but our onjy . hope with it at that distance is 'scratching,' or accidental seores." "What is this?? , "That is a gun we have all heard a great deal about the Martini-Henry rifle, with which the English army is provided. It has been used in more countries than any other rifle, except possibly the Romington. In some respects it is just the opposite of the American army gun. It has the hinged breeca block, opening backward and downward, instead - of forward and upward. This is an excellent gun. The barrels are well made, and the British manufacturers have the knack of grooving it very effectively. It is the gun shot in international matches. American riflemen should have great respect for this gun, for it is the one with whioh our national teams have been twice defeated. If it is a bandy gun, it ia a 'gunny gun . It feels like a gun in the band. A man would trust that gun almost anywhere if he had plenty of ammunition." "Here is a Sharps rifle isn't that a little out of date, too?" "There are no mora of them mad now, except ene onee in a while by hand. This is the style of weapon tbat was sent from the East to border settlers in Kansas and Nebraska, along with Bibles, during the troublous times just before the war. This individual gun," continued Captain Day, patting the butt affectionately, is a very fine loDg-ranga SharpsBorchardU It is a gua with a history, having won many prizes at long range, not, however, in my hands. It is need by marksmen when they lie down or double and twist their bodies into almost every figure known in the constellations of the heavens. Its action is excellent, having a square, falling breach-block, containing the hammer and lock. It strikes the primer in the prolongation of the bore, thus causing the least possible disturbance of the piece in firing.. "What can you say about this Remington?" "That is the gun formerly knows among national guardsmen as the 'gas pipe.' There have been more guns of this kind made for and used bv armies, raiding parties, filibustering expeditions, insurrections etc., than of any other arm ever invented. It has a rolling block, falling backward and downward, leaving a freeway through the barrel for inspection and eleaning. It ia simplicity itself, and has an excellent action. The barrel, however, is too light for long range or heavy work., bnt it has killed many a man in many a elime." "This gun, I believe," said the reporter, "you referred to as beiug a remarkable gun with a remarkable record. Is it not an ordinary Winchester repeating rifl?' "Rather an extrordinary one. This particular gun has been fired more than 40,000 times by Dr. Carver, and is still in fair order, showing only a little weakness of the main spring. The Winchester is the leading sporting gan of the world, and more game has been killed by it than with all other guns put together. "But this brinrs us into the domain of magazine guns. There are three pronounced leading types, with some twenty-five or thirty variations of which I have knowiedee, and there are doubtless a great many more individual naodifications of these types. For pnruoses of convenience I have selected the . Winchester, the Lee aod the Spencer as typifying the three great classes. "The well-known Winchester has a fixed tubular magazine, with lever aetion. The Hotchkiss is a bolt gun, with a tubular magazine in the butt instead of in the stock, as is the ase with the. Winchester and many others. There," said Captain Day, after ejecting a number of shells over his shoulder from both guns, "you can see how complicated are the motions necessary in using these guns. "The Lee magazine stands alone of its kind, although there are many modifications of it. It is a detached magazine, - with cartridges superimposed one npon the other, like the fingers on the hand. The great and important feature of this gun is tha detacnability of the magazine. As a military man, I have no hesitation in saying that it is just as important for troops to be armed with a detachable magazine for cartridges a it is for them to be supplied with fixed bayonets. When an order to 'fix bayonets!' has been given aod obeyed, an officer knows that his men are prepared to make a charge at the word of command. Why should not similar security be felt when waiting to repel an attack! After the command 'fix magazines!' an officer may rely npon all bis men having theii magazines full and in position. Nothing could give him greater confidence io a crisis. This is the best system for troops of which I have any knowledge. The Lee,, however, has a feature in common with many other gons which, personally, i do not like it is a bolt aetioo. A prejodiee is a heavy load for any man to carry througn this world, but my whole experience has tnded to increase my dislike for bolt guns- Ths inventor of this gun. however, Mr. James P. Lee, was so expert wita it that he could have three or four stots on the way to a 1.000-yard target at one time. Sach kill is attainable by few men, and the bolt action is necessarily slow in the hands of an ordinary soldier. "Mr. C. M. Spsceer, the ingenious inventor of th rifle so well kcova during our late war, is

still living. Tise Spencer rifle is something new. It is an Aroriean gun, although it has been very remarKabiy improved by CoL George V. Fosbery, an English army officer now in this city, who is an expert cot only in its invention, but in its manufacture and nee. it has a sliding piece on the stock, with a trombone movement," Captam Day hereupon gave an exhibition of the rapmit? and ease with which the Sponger -ao ba fired. A quick backward s;id of the left band threw out the . empty cartridges., while a rapid forward motion placed the piece asram in condition for firing, the whole not occupying a second of time. "This is au admirable contrivance," he continued. '"It requires the use cf two hands, however one to reject and load the cartridges into the chamber from toe magazine, while the other simply eraspa the small of the stock and pulls th3 ingser." INTERESTING WAR III3TORY.

General Butler Telia Why the Exchange cf Prisoners Was Stopped by General Grant. Gen. B. F. Butler, Boston, Mass. , ; Dear Sir Pardon my seeming impertinence in addressing you a letter of inquiry, but I know of no other source where I can obtain the information I seek. You were United States Commissioner of Exchange part of the time during the dispute between the States, audi was one of the" Anderville victims. Now I have contended that our govern n.ent mignthave continued to exchange prisoners, and thus have prevented the most of the horror of those pens, and my Republican friends call me all sorts of names. You have never been a partisan. You are no cowaid. You know, or at least you were in a position to know, juat why the exchange stopped and why it was not resumed. Will you please inform me upon those two points, that I may be the more bold or the more careful, as the case may be? 1 cannot find a word about the matter in Greeley's "American Conflict," nor in any other work to which I have access, and once wrote to the Century asking.tbat, to complete its war papers, the prison business might be discussed while General Butler was on deck, but that magazine did not want matter of tbat sort. An early reply will confer a favor upon, yours truly, , A. W. Cumins. Woodstock, El., March 17, 1838. A. W. Cumins, Esq., Woodstock, III. Dear Sir I think I am amply paid by the new phrase which I find in your letter describing the war of the rebellion as" a "dispute between the States," for any pains that I might talie in answering your question. The cause of the stoppage of exchange of prisoners was twofold: First, because the confederates refused to exchange the colored soldiers, claiming that they would keep them as property to be returned to their masters, and at first putting them in the trenches to work under fire. I stopped that by putting a lot of Richmond confederate prisoners to work under fire in Dntch Gap until Lee had the eolored men released from such work, but they would not exchange them. The second, a strategic reason, why Gen. Grant desired to put an end to the exchange was this: We had a larger army in our hands as prisoners of war than any other army of the confederates. We felt it our duty to keep them in a proper manner, well clothed, well fed, well eared for, well treated, well warmed, and with all proper hospital service that we gave .our own men, so that every man substantially that we had was fit to step right into the ranks the moment he was exchanged. On the contrary, as , yon, if you were in Anderson ville, as you say, know as well as anybody else, in their view of policy, as one of the methods of armiing their side of the "dispute," they did not clothe, did not feed, nay, did not even give water and wood to the prisoners of Andersonville when there was plenty to both of those -that might be had. I do not take so much stock in the food question as some people, because food was pretty scarce in the Confederacy, and thenour soldiers would starve on about what a confederate could live on. The consequence was, as you know, that our men, in the hands of the confederates, were none of them fit to go into service on exchange until three months' recruitment, and a great many of them a much longer - time than that, and many of them were never fit to retorn to duty. Therefore, if we exchanged man for man, . we put into the field another larger army than the confederates could then recruit even by con J scription. ar-d in the very best condition to fight us, and we got nobody that we could use in return to meet them. . , r Toe wisdom of that policy yon must discuss with those who enacted it. With it I could have nothing to do in my position. Bnt while it was very hard on the poor fellows who were in Andersonville, Libby, Salisbury, and elsewhere as prisoners, yet they even, in their sufferings, were aiding Beir country more ta the war of ? the rebellion than they could have done if fight-' ing the ranks in the condition they were put in by the other side in the "dispute." . I perceive you have fully overcome all feeling' in regard to the conduct of the men toward you in Andersonville by the use of that term. But if you use it in discussion with your Republican friends, unless they are different from the class of men we have here who call themselves, liepublicans, you will be lisely to hear some pretty hard language, aud perhaps some not justified by all of the Ten Commandments. Very respectfully, your obedient servant. Boston, March 19. Benj. F. Butler.

Interference In a Family Difficulty. Indiana Christian Advocate. v Passing down Third street one day, we saw a man beating his wife. It was none of our business, yet thoughtlessly, but with kind intention, we interposed, when both of them turned on us and hustled us out in a hurry. It was an experience tbat lasted long, but somehow we feel inclined to try it again for the cause of peace and domestic quiet. There seems to be an irrepressible conflict between Captain Ritter and sueh as he, and statesmen Jacques and Wilson and such as they, in tho management of the party. Captain Ritter wants to secure prohibition and good government; tbey want to have a party, oo matter about prohibition or good government; hence he votes, like an honest citizen, for such men as Judge Elliott, and Judge Irvin, and Mayor Denny, much to the disgust of those able statesmen who boss those who can be bossed. The latest demonstration of his utter unfitness to belong to any party that has such eminent leaders was at the township convention last week that nominated a townshipjticket. There is no more important office than township trustee, and Center township never had a better one than Captain Many, and the Sim Coy gang are moving heaven and earth to get one of their representatives in his place, and sueh is the importance of tbe election that many a good Democrat takes an honest pride in acting against the saloon interest by supporting Many; but statesmen Jacques and Wilson say the party must nominate a ticket and help defeat Captain Many. To tbis Captain Ritter objected. He is always objecting to such foolishness. Now, though this is a strife that bc-longth not to us, we cannot refrain, in the interest of domestio quiet, from advising these statesmen to incontinently expel tbe recalcitrant Captain. They will never have harmony till they do, and probably ami then.

Bich, Men's Sons Who Associate with Thieves. New York World. One of Inspector Byrne's detectives remarked yesterday that it was" a wonder there were not more sons of wealthy New Yorkers turning out like young Tascott, the supposed murderer of millionaire Snell, of Chicago. Tbe saloons and billiard halls from Forty-second street up ara lounging places at night aod on Sundays for any number of the sons of many of New York's wealthiest citizens. In many of these places, and particularly those on Third avenue, these young gentlemen associate with tbe most vicious class of young men, who are regarded io the light of heroes. It seems to afford some of these sons of rich men the heisrht of enjoyment to keep company with pugilists and others who, if they ar not criminals, are little better. In one biUiard ball and saloon not many blocks frorn Fifty ninth street, on Third avenue, can be seen every evening at least four youncrtuen who have been discarded by their rich fathers. One of them, tbe son of a prominent physician, has sunk so low that be helps to attend to the pool tables lu return for free drinks. Another of them is the son of a banker, and hia father will not permit him to comQ around his house for fear he might corrupt nis brothers. The father pays his board and keeps him in clothes. Another, the son of a wealthy importer, is frequently seen in the company of well-known crooks, although so far be has not been known to be guilty of anv offense against the law. But this is only one of the many places along Third, Sixth and Eighth avenues, where many such eases may be found. One of the Trials of Llfa. Concord. (N. M ) Monitor.
