Horace Porter, in Harper for September. The night of the Gth of 31 ay, 1864, the second day of the Wilderness, was a critical occasion. A desperate attack was made on the right, Seymour was captured, then Shaler, Sedgwick’s corps was forced back, the right was partly turned, and a confusion arose which for a little time seemed destined to run into a panic. The General hurried reinforcements to tho point of danger, and made every disposition for the pro tection of the right. As soon as the attack had spent its fury he gave orders for the next day’s movements, threw himself on his camp-bed, and in two minutes fell into a sleep that was not broken till the firing began in the morning. When on his death bed, tortured by insomnia, he remarked to tho writer: “Ah! I have now lost the power to sleep.’’ Upon being reminded of the night in the Wilderness, he dwelt upon it for a time, and said: “It seems strange that I, who always slept so well on the field, should now pass whole nights without closing my eyes in tho quiet of my own house.” Two months after the close of the war, when Lee applied by letter for the privileges extended to those included in the President's amnesty proclamation, General Grant put an indorsement on the communication, which began as follows: “Respectfully forwarded through the Secretary of War to the President, with the earnest recommendation that the application of Gen. Robert E. Lee for amnesty and pardon may bo granted him.” But, instead of pardoning rebels, Andrew Johnson was engaged in his boasted work of “making treason odious,” and he was deter mined to have Lee and others indicted and punished for the crime of high treason. Gen, Lee appealed by letter to General Grant for protection, and he knew he would not appeal in vain. General Grant put a long and emphatic indorsement upon this letter of appeal, in winch the following language occurs: “In my opinion the officers and men paroled at Appomattox Conrt House, and since upon the same terms given to Lee. cannot be tried for treason so long as they observe the terms of their parole. ’ * ’ The action of Tudge Underwood in Norfolk has already had an injurious effect, and I would ask that he be ordered to quash all indictments found against paroled prisoners-of-war, and to desist from further prosecution of them.” General Grant had a keen sense of humor, which often cropped out from tho most serious surroundings. The night of Oct. 19. 1864, tho staff were sitting in front of trie General’s tent at City Point, anxiously awaiting news from Cedar Creek, where a fight had been reported in progress. The telegraph operator came up hurriedly with a long dispatch from Sheridan. The General took it and read it over carefully. Every eye was fixed upon him to try and read something in his features, but, as usual, his calm and impassive face failed to give the slightest indication as to whether tho news was good or bad. He soon turned back to the beginning of the dispatch, and began to read it aloud. With a discouraging shake of the head, he went on reading how Wright had been attacked, eighteen guns had been lost, our troops had been thrown into confusion and driven back six miles. Here tho General stopped, looked around at tho dejected listeners, and said solemnly: “That’s pretty bad, isn’t it?” A melancholy chorus replied: “It’s too bad—too bad!” “Now, wait till 1 read you the rest of it,” said the General, with a twinkle in his eye. Then ho went on to read how Sheridan had ridden twenty miles at breakneck speed to reach the front, had recaptured the guns, snatched victory from defeat, and left the enemy a wreck. The listeners had by this time rallied from their dejection and were wild with delight. The General seemed to enjoy the bombshell he had thrown amongst the staff almost as much as tho news of Sheridan’s signal victory. In the sixty-three years ot his career an oath never passed his lips, and an obscene word was never uttered by him. His nearest approach to an imprecation was a “Confound it!” Once when recalling this fact and remarking upon it to him, ho said: “I never learned to swear. When a boy J seemed to have an aversion to it, and when a man I saw tho folly of it. I have aiways noticed, too. that swearing helps to arouse men’s ire, and when people get into a passion their adversaries who keep cool always get the better of them.” His example in this respect was once quoted by a member of the Christian Commission to a teamster in the Army of the Potomac in the hope of lessening the volume of oaths with which ho was italieiz ing his language, and upon which he seemed to be placing his main reliance in moving his mule team out of a mud-hole. His only reply was, “Then thar’s one thing certain—the old man never druv mules.” It was his custom to observe the Sabbath day upon all occasions, and he manifested his regard for it down to the last hours of his life. One Saturday night during the last stages of tho fatal disease which sapped his life, one of the severe paroxysms of coughing came on, accompanied by sensations of choking. He begged his eldest son to keep him awake, feeling that if he yielded to sleep he would die of suffocation. A game of cribbage was proposed. When about to begin to play ho asked the time, and was told that it was five minutes past 12. Pushing tho crinbage board aside, he said, “Wo must not play; it is now Sunday." With nothing to divert h:s mind he dropped into add% every few minutes; then stitrted upright to gasp for breath and struggle with the distressing cough; and thus throughout that terrible night the painful struggle lor life continued. Harrison County's Defaulting Officials. Cory don Special. The last of a series of suits was filed to day in the Harrison Circuit Court by Hon. W. 31. Furik, one of the counsel for Harrison county, against Auditor Anozi W. Brewster and ex Treasurer L. W. Bowling and their bondsmen. The demands against Auditor Brewster are for SIO,OOO for money drawn upon orders issued by him, payable to himself, in excess of the amount allowed by law. The demands against ex-Treas-urer L. W. Bowling are for $15,000. In all tho cases against these officials the complaints are based upon the reports of expo its appointed by the board of commissioners of Harrison county to investgate the records in these two offices at their last June term. George W. Self, of Corydon, and Judge N. It. Peckenpaugh, of Leavenworth, are retained as assisting counsel in be,half of Harrison county, while the defense will be represented by Douglass Stockslager and Fencewell & Sou and Hon. J. L. Saddash, of Leavenworth. O. W. Bill, a prominent Kansas farmer, and president of the State Shorthorn breeders’ Association, says he knows that young cockleburrs will kill pigs. He found eleven head, about six mouths old, dead in a pile, and four in another, from eating cockle-burrs.

AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS. • _ Personal and Local. A. 31. Brackemddge has been appointed central passenger agent or the Wabash, St. Louis & Pacific railway, vice Thomas S. Spear, Pittsburg, Pa. There is a loud call for cars now to load for the East One line on Saturday last was 300 cars behind its orders, and as most of the grain is for August delivery the shippers are uneasy. President R. R. Cable, of the Chicago & Rock Island, has reached Colorado Springs on his journey from the Pacific coast, where he will remain a few days and then return to Chicago. The heavy movement of wheat to St Louis continues, reaching nearly I,OGO car-loads hist week. As St. Louis parties have made largo purchases for September delivery, shipments will bo heavy for some weeks to come. Tho five Western lines last week brought into Indianapolis 4.489 loaded cars, as follows: I. & St. L., 1,498; Vandalia, 1,208: 1., B, & W. t 7G3; C., 1., St. L. & C., 702; 1., D. it S., 313. The same roads brought in during the week ending Aug, 15, 3,016 loaded cars —increase last week, 872 cars. The C., St. L. & P., while making a bad showing in east bound business, leads its competitors in west-bound traffic, last week receiving from the East at this point 971 loaded cars, against 894 brought in bv the Bee-line, 723 by the C.. 1., St. L. te G, 423 by the 1., B. & W., and 21G by the C., H. <fc 1. One favorable feature of freight business at the present time, more especially with St. Louis lines, is that cars moved are, to an unusually large extent, loaded both ways. For instance, the Vandalia last week brought into this station 1,208, and forwarded 1,230 loaded cars; the I. & St. L. brought in 1,493, forwarded west 1,047 loaded cars. Superintendent Woodard, of the L., N. A. & C., spent Saturday in the city looking over matters aud taking steps to havo their business at this terminus handled more expeditiously.. The company will establish a station at Nora, and will this week erect a neat station-house and put in a side-track, and at several other stations side-track facilities are to bo improved. A through and a local freight train on the 1.. D. & S. road collided near Raccoon station, Saturday. Both locomotives were considerably damaged but no person was injured. A reckless conductor is said to have caused the collision, he ordering the train out contrary to his orders. The wreck was cleared in about five hours. Fortunately neither train was running at high speed, consequently little damage was done except to tho locomotives. Asa result of the conference of agents on the Bee line system, at Cleveland, last week, with the officials of the road, the salaries of general agents havo beon increased while those of agents at the less important stations were slightly reduced. ' Not for years had there been an adjust raent of the salaries of ugents, in’ which time some of these stations have grown in importance and the salaries of agents did not compensate them fairly for the work they did. The 1., B. &W. company have equipped one of their fifty-ton consol engines with the West-ing-house air-brake, that they can uso it to advantage in hauling their heavy excursion trains. Those so called “hog” engines surprise the 1., B. fc W.,.50 high speed can be obtained with them for a locomotive with so small drivingwheels. It is claimed that one of these hog engines last week hauled sixteen coaches laden with excursionists at a speed of forty-five mile3 per hour. Below we give the number of loaded cars forwarded from this point over the five direct eastbound routes in the week ending Aug. 22 and the corresponding week for the three preceeding years: I*Bs. 1884. 1883. 1882. Bee-line. 1,785 1,074 1,456 1,487 C., St. L. &P 632 951 1,431 1,714 C., 1., St. L.&C 927 1,180 1,092 1,108 1., B. &W 876 494 691 C., H. &I 233 341 172 In the year 1881 the 1., B. & W., eastern division, was not in operation and the C., H. & I. made little pretense to do east-bound business. The picnic at Glen Miller, Richmond, Ind., of the employes on the Indianapolis division, Saturday last, was a very pleasant affair. There were some three thousand persons on the ground, including several officers of the road, and it was really a railroad employes’ lovefeast. Among the officials on the ground were J. F. 3liller, E. W. McKenna. J. J. Turner, J. W. Greener. A. B. Waters, J. S. May and J. B. SaiTord. The train carrying the picnickers from Indianapolis consisted of twenty-two well-filled coaches, and was run in two sections. It is understood that the company will hereafter have these pleasant gatherings of the employes annually. A Growing Industry. The vastness of tho country's cattle interest is beginning to be comprehended. The territory embraced in what is commonly known as the range and ranch cattle area embraces about 1,365,000 square miles and constitutes 44 per cent, of the total area of our domain, exclusive of Alaska, and the great railroad development of a few years past has made shipping cattle from tho far West a possibility. The freight charge for transporting cattle to Chicago from tho meridian passing through the center of the range and ranch cattle belt is about $6.50. The current rate per head from Chicago to New York is about. $4.80. The total freight charge for transporting a steer from tho cattle belt to New York may, therefore, be stated at $11.30. Add to this tho freight of the carcass or tho live beast to Liverpool or other European ports, which is not more than as much again, and it will be seen that we are likely for some time to come to utilize these far Western plains in supplying the European world with meat. The rapid development of the cattle interests may be seen by a glance at the subjeined table: Total number Year. of cattle. 1850 17,778.907 1860 25.620,019 1870 • 28,820,608 1880 35 925.511 1884 .49,417,782 With the increase of cattle raising in the West and the improvements in transportation has come the comparatively new business of shipping dressed bt-ef from the West to the East. In 1880 this movement amounted to 15,680 tons: in 1881 it Lad reached 75,259 tons; iu 1882, 93,110 tons; in 1883, 145,571 tons, and last year 173,067. Is Not To He Bottled Up. The Fitchburg railroad (Hoosac Tunnel) officials have, it is understood, received the strongest kind of assurance from the Vanderbilt people that the present relations between their line and the West Shore road will not be disturbed when the trunk-line combination is fully effected, to which the Boston Traveller answers: “However this may be, it i3 a fact which, though disagreeable to consider, cannot be ignored, that with the removal of the inducement of lower rates now offered to shippers, as it is sure to be when the union is perfected, much of the freight that now goes west from Boston and other Now England points via the West Shore route will be sent over the New York Central line. And this will be so, because shippers generally find that they can pet their freight through a day or two quicker by this route than over tho West Shore, which is not so well provided with facilities for handling it. It is important to Massachusetts interests that it should be, in a measure, independent, and if it can’t be made so by connecting with the West Shore, some other way will be found. President Depew undoubtedly recognizes tho fact, which a glance at the map will show, that northern and northeastern New England are in more direct connection with tho West by the Hoosac Tunnel hue than by tho Boston & Albany, and it will be a matter of indifference to the New York Central whether business goes by one route or the other.” Commissioner Fink’s Opinion of the New Deal. Commissioner Fink, of the trunk-lino pool, has written a letter from Germany, where he is now resting, to a gentleman in New' York in regard to the New r York Central-West Shore deal, the substance of which letter is published below, lie says: “You ask my opinion as regards the fairness of this settlement to West Shore bondholders

and New York Central Railroad Company. Surely the proposition is so evidently to the in terest of both parties that it really does not require any indorsement from any individual, especially in face of the fact that public sentiment has already fully approved of the arrangements, as indicated by the rise in the value of the securities of both companies. * * # Ido not fully concur in the estimates of the probable gross earnings contained in statements B and C, making the same $8,000,000 per annum. The estimated earnings per ton per mile, 10.9 mills and 10.4 mills, respectively, cannot be realized. Perhaps 7 mills to 8 mills is all that can be reasonably expected. Rates on the bulk of the east-bound traffic will hardly ever be as high as they were in former years, when peace among the railroads was reasonably maintained. It must be also considered that the tonnage over the West Shore has been somewhat increased by its freedom to make its own rates to secure traffic, but when hereafter even tariffs are to be established between all competing lines, the volume of the traffic of the West .Shore will i, doubt be somewhat reduced. On the other hand, the natural increase of the traffic which we may reasonably expect in the course of time in this country, and also the improved connections west of Buffalo, when the road is controlled by the New York Central, will materially add to the business of the road. But for present purposes, I hardly think it safe to estimate the probable earnings of the road, in case reasonable through tariff can be maintained, to exceed $5,500,000 to $0,000,000 per annum, on which the net earnings may be about $1,500,000. I prefer rather to under than overestimate. This is certain: that the West Shore railroad can be operated much cheaper by the New York Central railroad than as an independent line. A Handsome Increase in Business. The train records for the week ending August 22, make a very favorable exhibit, all roads showing an improvement in business. The tonnage of last week exceeded that of any week thus far this year. A comparison of the car movement last week with that of the week ending August 15, shows 3,253 more cars were received and forwarded in the week, ending the 22d, than in the preceding week, and of this increase 1,916 were loaded cars; and, what is better still, a decided improvement is shown over the corresponding week, 1884, there being 2,715 more cars received and forwarded, of which number 1,406 were loaded. For the first time this year the demand for empty cars to load for the East is greater than the supply, and the demand from nowon for several months promises to increase rather than lessen, as while there is but little wheat moving eastward there is a sharp movement of old corn and oats. The lumber men, as well, are beginning to talk business. Westbound the tonnage is heavy, beyond parallel in August; in fact, is seldom heavier at any season of the year. Through live stock traffic is still at a very low ebb. North and south roads aro doing better now, having considerable through business, as well as a gocrd local traffic. With all Indianapolis lines the latter is brisk, and working overtime at the city freight depots is now a common thing. Below we give the number of cars received and forwarded at this point in the week ending Aug. 22, 1885, and tho corresponding week of 1834: vr fr> i Aug. 22.

THE JOURNAL NEW ANNOUNCEMENT. THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL is reoognized everywhere us the leading newspaper of Indiana. No proper expense is spared to maintain this undisputed excellence and to increase tho value and interest of the paper. THE JOURNAL was never so well equipped to serve tho public. Our arrangements for the collection of the news of the day are mor* complete than ever, and wo have added som* special features which must enhance the popularity of the paper. THE JOURNAL is the only paper in Indiana that prints regularly the full reports of the Western Associated Press, which are now more comprehensive than ever, covering th whole world. These dispatches are supplemented by the work of special correspondent* at all the principal cities and towns of the State and of the county at large. We have * special resident representative at Washington City, who looks after the news of the national capital with vigilance, paying particular ai> tention to that which most nearly concern* THE JOURNAL’S constituency. The fullest and most reliable intelligence from Washington will be presented iii our news columns, free from party bias, impartially, and without restraint. Editorially THE JOURNAL is a Republican paper, believing in tho principles and general policy of the Republican party; but it recognizes that the day of blind party organsliip has passed, and it proposes to be perfectly free to criticise and condemn, but in a spirit and with a purpose for good, having a proper regard for personal rights and reputations. The citizen, whatever his political faith, can be assured of seeing in the columns of THB JOURNAL the fullest and fairest presentation of the news, and in its editorial columns such comment and strictures as will command hi* respect if they do not meet his approval. It may also be said that THE JOURNAL is published as a FAMILY NEWSPAPER. It recognizes that the women and tho children arc to be instructed and entertained. They wili always find in its columns matter specially prepared for them, while the paper will be so conducted as to prove a welcome visitor in th* household. The news will be presented in such shape as to minimize the evil, and it* editorial and local columns will be kept tree from moral taint. • The Railroad News of THE JOURNAL is admittedly the freshest, fullest and most accurate printed by any newspaper in the country. SPECIAL FEATURES, By a special arrangement with the auth or* the INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL began with the present year the publication of a series of original stories from the pen3 of the most noted writers in the country, such as W. D. Howells, J. T. Trowbridge, E. P. Koe,.T. B. Aldrich, Frank R. Stockton, Mrs. Helen Jackson, Sarah Orne Jewett and others of equal celebrity. This series is now being printed in the Saturday edition. The JOURNAL OF MONDAY of each week prints a special report of the sermon of Rev. Dr. Talmage, of the Brooklyn Tabernacle, preached the previous day—which sermon is not published in#ther*papers of the State until the following Sunday. This is only on* feature showing the excellence of the Journal’s arrangements for the prompt publication of news. In the SUNDAY JOURNAL are printed * series of original stories written by the most celebrated authors of the world. We receive these stories direct from England, by a special arrangement with the writers. We have already published stories by “Ouida,” William Black, Mrs. Oliphant, Joseph Hatton and Miss M. E. Biathlon, and are now printing a series of three short stories, written by the late Hugh Conway. THE SUNDAY JOURNAL Is a paper of twelve pages, sold for five cent*, tho same as the Saturday Journal. The SUNDAY JOURNAL reaches every town and city in Indiana and the surrounding territory. The circulation ot the Sunday edition is the largest and best of any Sunday paper printed in Indiana, and it has made itself the People's Paper. The SUNDAY JOURNAL is without competitor in tho State in the character and variety of matter it presents its readers. The best writers in the State aud country freely contribute to its columns. In its enlarged and improved form it is absolutely without* rival or peer. THE INDIANA STATE JOURNAL (WE2KF.Y EDITION) Is the best secular paper published in the State. It is a complete compendium of the news of the week, with special features of late and trustworthy market reports, and a department of industrial aud agricultural intelligence carefully prepared by an editor of long experience. In those respects the WEEKLY JOURNAL is superior to any merely agricultural paper, for the field it covers is infinitely more extensive than that which can be oocur pied by any special class publication. SPECIAL TEKM9 Are made to agonts and canvassers, and for clubbing with other papers. For all detail* address the publishers, JNO. C.'NEW & SON, Corner Market aud Pennsylvania Sts., Indianapolis, lud.
