GENERALSHIP.

Military Reputations Sometimes Depend ’ on “tho Chances.” Military reputations aro cnnous things. If you ask any well-edncated foreigner who was the greatest general' of our war, ten to one he will answer Gen. Lee. Yet soldiers know that Lee was a mere desk general, without plan or dash. Before the w&r old Gen. Scot, who loyed him, used to say that, with the exception of himself, Bpb Lee was the only man in this, country who could handle men. He took this reputation into th© Southern army, and he was idolized. He was a courteous, dignified man, who made himself up after Washington. His soldiers trusted him implicitly, and he had the inner lines, so that it was reckoned he had won a victory every time he escaped annihilation. President Davis was deferential to him, and the corps commanders regarded him as omniscient and invincible. But, in point of fact, there is not one of his battles which military students will hereafter be required to study. So with Stonewall Jackson. He was known at West Point as a religions fanatic. In the Southern army he was enterprising, audacious, swift in action, but a man m'ght easily make a reputation when he has only commanders like Banks and Premont and McClellan to encounter. If Stonewall Jackson had lived long enough to meet such men as Sherman and Sheridan his fame might not have stood as high as it does. When our warbroke out, the eyeS of soldiers were fixed upon McClellan, Kosecrans, Stone, McDowell and Buell. These were to be the coming men. They all proved failures. Grant cut no figure in Mexico. Sherman was said to be a crank. Sheridan was unknown. It required circumstances to develop them. Grant showed from the first the intuitive capacity of the born soldier. After the fall of Port Donelson, a brothef-in-arms took the liberty of drawing his attention to the awful risk he had run by deviating from the rules of war. The General replied: “Yes, I know all that; but I knew the men on the other side and I took the chances. You do not suppose I would have acted so if Lee had been in command of the fort ?” So when he resolved on his march round Vicksburg by way of the river, he knew he was acting contrary to the rules of war;, but he took the risks, and, for fear of interference from' Washington, he would not let Gen. Halleck know what he was doing till he was past recall. Sure enough, as soon as telegrams could reach him, Halleck countermanded the movement; but it was to late, and in due course Vicksburg fell.

Toward the qlose of the war the generals on both sides began to understand their business, and it was not safe to reckon on errors escaping notice. The North, it must be admitted, had a good deal of good luck. If Lee had the enterprise to break through Meade’s line and join Johnston in North Carolina after the surrender of Richmond, the war might have been indefinitely prolonged. If Hood had had common sense enough to give Nashville the go-by and march through Kentucky into Ohio, there is no saying what the results might not have been. He could probably have cut the North in fcwbjTSs B hefman"cut the Bbutth“ "But he was not enough of a general to see the opportunity which Thomas’ inertia offered him. A truly great general must know when to obey the laws of war and when to violate them. This is just what Grant and Sherman knew. Napoleon, in his compendium of military instructions to his brother Joseph when he went to Spain, enjoined upon him: “The art of war is an art which is founded on principles that must not be violated! To lose one’s line of operation is a performance so dangerous that to be guilty of it is a crime.” Yet this is what Sherman did in Georgia, with the happiest results. So with the French themselves in Algeria. The first rule of war is that an army must consist of due proportions of cavalry, infantry, and artillery, yet the first order of the day issued by Bugeaud when he took command of the French army directed nine-tenths of the artillery to be shipped back to France. He wanted to train his troops to fighting at short range, and to lure the enemy into close quarters. The result was the battle of Isly. When history comes to be deliberately written and men are measured not by what people said of them at the time, but by what they actually did, the Southern generals who will stand highest in the ranks of fame —side by side with Grant and McPherson, and Sherman and Sheridan—will be Gens. Joe Johnston and Albert Sidney Johnston. — San Francisco Chronicle.

Where Beauty Sleeps.

Would you like to see how a New York belle of millionaireism sleeps? I can gratify you so far as to describe, with literal exactness, the bedroom of a young woman whose name is printed as often as anybody’s in the society reports. I never saw a more beautiful, cozy, in every way delightful place than the sleeping-foom of this young princess of fashion—this eldest child of a many-millionaire. The wall-paper was pale gold on faint slate-color. The gilt bedstead was pushed against a square of plaited silk of pale gold, with! slate-colored silk bows at the corners. Just such another square of plaited silk rose to the ceiling above the washstand. On that werej only pitcher, bowl, soap-dish, and so on, because water is presumed to inyite sewer gas, but all of the choicest ware. A great sheet of beveled looking glass, six feet high, swung on brass rods above the floor in one corner for the young woman to see her whole attire in. She had, also, a handsome folding glass to reflect her ears, back hair, and neck. There was an open fireplace, besides the hot air register; a dressing stand, laden with pretty toilet boxes and bottles; an ivory clock, like a birdcage, in which ivory canaries trilled sweetly as each hour began; easy chairs and a rocking-chair to match the wallpaper and furniture; a pretty little nrie-dieu fpr the young woman to say ner prayers upon as fashionably as possible; and 3 a wealth of little elegancies, completing a general effect

that was exquisite, dainty, and inviting beyond computation. Opening out of this room the young millionairess had another* apartment where she wrote and painted and “worked,”so to speak, but I did not see it. — Late New York letter, ‘

the Man Without Tact.

Old man Knoaey. of West Madison street, comes about as near being an angel in pantaloons as Chicago flesh and blood can hope to become, so far as intentions go; but in spite of the purity of his motives the guileless old man is ih hot water a good share of the time, simply because he has no such thing os tact in his nature, and will persist in rubbing the hair the wrong way whenever he comes in contact with people. He means well, but no matter how hfird he tries to be sociable, he is sure to put his foot in it. He has no guile, or any of the other essentials about him, and so whenever anything comes into his head he blurts it right out without ceremony, regardless qf circumstances and surroundings. Tlie great fallacy of his life is that it is sociability to say things that should be left unsaid altogether, and ask questions about things that can in no way concern him. Introduce him to a stranger, 1 and within ten minutes he will ask the price of the man’s clothing, article by article, from bis bat to bis boots. If jewelry is visible, he will want to know whether it- is pure gold, or only “washed,” and whether it was purchased new or at the pawnbroker’s. He will also want to know if the man’s watch keeps good time, and if he hasn’t been getting his pantaloons dyed. When the conversational possibilities in that direction become exhausted, 'he will make the stranger’s flame a pretext for asking if he isn’t related to a family of the same name in such and such a place, and then, very likely, he will proceed to remark that one of this very same family had to leave the neighborhood between two days for stealing sheep, and that another had been thrown out of the church for robbing the contribution box. He will ask a doctor if he ever-hur-ried anybody out of the world by way of experiment, and catechise a druggist as to how frequently he has made fatal blunders in filling prescriptions. He will tell a lawyer that he can’t understand how the tricks of the profession can be reconciled to the tenets of Christianity, and will ask a speculating deacon the difference between dealing in options and any other kind of gambling. He never hesitates to intimate to the infatuated mother of an uncomely infant that he has seen much prettier children than her babe, and then the poor man will lie awake all night shortly afterward, trying to make put why her husband has foreclosed a mortgage on his home. He will doze and nod in his pew at church, and then feel pained when he discovers that his pastor does not clasp his hand with reciprocal warmth. -r In visiting a neighbor he walks in with muddy boots; sets his umbrella in the corner to drip on the carpet; leans back in his chair; mars np the rugs with his boot heels; soils the wall-paper with hair oil; spits tobacco juice on the stove; and yet the poor man cannot un-* derstand why they do not press him to come again, and why, after all his efforts to be sociable, they should treat him coolly. He tries hard to be cordial to all, and he endeavors, most unselfishly, to be friendly, but cannot succeed; and all simply through lack of discretion and want of tact. Young man, if you want to slide through the world easily, study tact before you do Greek. —Chicago Ledger.

Northern Limit of Corn Growth.

On the northeast shores of Asia corn cannot be cultivated at fifty degrees north latitude, although in the interior it matures as far north as sixty-two degrees. On the eastern shores of America the northern limit of its growth is fifty degrees, and on the western shores it reaches about fifty-seven degrees, while in the intermediate country it is known to grow as far as sixty-five degrees. The fact that it thrives farther north in the interior of continents than on the shores is thought by M. Buysman to be due not alone to the cooling influences of ice accumulations on the coasts, but to depend largely on the greater amount of sunlight received in the dry regions far from the oceans. In Norway corn grows in latitude seventy degrees, the climate being not only warmed by proximity to the Gulf stream, but the skies being very clear as well. Even in the most northern regions, where the shade temperature is very low, vegetation may grow in sheltered spots exposed to the sun, and luxuriant scurvy grass has been found on Walden Island, beyond eighty degrees north latitude. — London News.

The Way They Whistled.

A New York gentleman was out hunting in the Sierras with an old hunter. v “The Bocky Mountain goats are mighty keerful,” said the hunter. “While they are feeding they put out a sentinel, and if that goat sees or smells anything suspicious, he makes a low, whistlin’ sort of a noise, and they are out of sight in less than no time,” and the old Leatherstockings put his finger to his mouth and whistled. “I weally had no idea,” said the New Yorker, “that a goat could bend his fore leg so as to get his hoof up to his mouth to whistle in that wa j."—Texas Siftings.

No Difference in the Pain.

“I say, boss,” groaned an old darky who had broken his leg, and was b'eing bundled rather unceremoniously into an ambulance, “you may not b’lieve it, but it hurts a cullud man jess as much ter git his leg broke as it do a white man.” —New York Times.

Lively.

“That’s very good cheese of yours fox some purposes.” “I thought you would like it. It’s lively, isn t it ?” “Yes; why don’t you enter it for a walking match?” —Boston Budget. The world is full of people who strain at a gnat and swallow a whole menagerie.

Knitting Machines.

The art of knitting stockings in said to have originated in Scotland about the close of the fifteenth century. In less than one hundred years it gave rise to suoh an industry that On t the first attempt to apply machinery to it—in the invention of the stocking-frame by Wm. Lee, in 1589 —the short-sighted government refused letters patent to the new invention on the plea that it would destroy the market for hand-made goods and ruin thousands of ' stocking-knitters. Lee took his machine to France and established a factory at Bouen, but he was soon driven from this place by political troubles, and died on his way to England, having reaped nothing but loss from his valuable invention. His brother took it up, secured a patent for it, and established a stocking factory in Nottinghamshire, England, which has ever since been the center of the stocking manufacture in England. The Leo machines were introduced in this country in the eighteenth century, first in Philadelphia and Germantown, then in New York City and other places. The adaptation of the machine to power was first accomplished by Timothy Bailey, of Albany, in 1831, and the first machine thus run was at Cohoes, N. Y., in 1832. The original stocking frame produced a straight strip of web of any length desired, which was cut np and formed into the shape of a stocking; later, it is not known exactly when, this was improved upon by a frame producing a circular web, to be cut off in proper lengths and shaped. The knitting machine is very complicated in its mechanism, though the simple principle of forming loops in succession on a single thread, each one locked by that which follows it, is the one essential of'its work. There are a number of machines in use, each one distinguished by thq kind of needles they use, and also by the manner in winch these are arranged, whether on a straight horizontal line, all pointing the same way, or around an open horizontal circle, all pointing toward the center. The latter are known as'the rotary round machines. Every needle is hooked at the end, so as to hold the thread for each loop, while the loop previously formed on the same needle slips back on the shank as the needle is pushed forward, and on its return runs- over the hook and off the end. In the straight frames the work is done first across the needles in turn in one direction and then back in the other, and so on; but in the rotary round machines the needles are carried constantly round in the same direction, each one taking np the thread in turn. The machines made for family use are all simpler than those for factory work, are worked by a crank, or treadle, are much smaller, and use fewer stitches.— Inter Oceans

Gordon’s Eyes.

Gordon was not one of the one-eyed heroes of history. Here is wbat Mr. Stannard says of the extraordinary fascination of his eyes: “What eyes they were! keen and clear, filled with the beauty of holiness; bright with an unnatural brightness; their expression one of settled feverishness; their color blue gray, as is the sky on a bitter March morning. I know not what effect those eyes had on all he came in contact with, though,from the unfailing and willing obedience with which his orders were carried out, I fancy that, to some extent, he unconsciously mesmerized nine out of ten to do his will, but I know that upon me their effect was to raise a wild longing, a desperate desire to do something, anything, at his bidding. It was not an unpleasant or uncanny sensation; it was not that any evil thought or suspicion lurked within the windows of his brave and pure soul. His power was the power of resolute goodness, and it was strong —so strong that lam sure, had he told me to stand on mv head, or to perform some impossible feat, I should certainly have tried my utmost to accomplish it, without giving a moment for reflection as to whether the order was reasonable or not.” —Pall Mall Gazette.

She Slew Him.

He was a tiresome beau, and the girl couldn’t get rid of him to save her life. The other evening he called, and during the conversation, or rather near its close, she said: “I dreamed about you last night.” “No?” he exclaimed, with a smile as big as the mouth of a river after a thaw. “Yes. I dreamed you had proposed to me.” “And—and—” he hesitated, blushed, looked appealingly at her, and put out his arms in a dazed sort of a way, “and what did you think my—my” “I thought—l thought ” she also hesitated and blushed, and then stopped. “Well,my—my—what did you think ?” he stammered, in impatient hopefulness. “I thought it must have been—the mince pie I ate before retiring that gave me the nightmare.”— Merchant Traveler.

Cooks.

The most precious sauce, for a young cook, is impudence. Boast away, and never be tired of it. A modest cook must be looked on as a contradiction in nature. If he be quiet and modest, he will be held as a pitiful cook. It is related of a famous cook that he prepared fish so exquisitely that they returned him admiring and grateful looks from the frying pan. It was doubtless the same cook who declared that he had discovered the principle of immortality, and that the odor of his dishes would recall life into the nostrils of the very dead. It was Bechamel who said that, with the sauce he had invented, a man would experience nothing but delight in eating his own grandfather. —The Caterer. A good deal of the barbarous still continues to crop out in human nature.

FOUR ACTS FLAYED.

8«m» Abort* Ex-Frosldant Arthur—tgill the Firth and Final Art Be a Trag[Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.] “Dr. Lincoln, who wa* at the funeral of ex-Sscretary Frelinghuysen, pays e«-Presi-dent Arthur looked very unwell. He Is suffer,n* from Bright's disease, boring -the past year it has assumed a very aggravated form.” TBttt telegram is Act IV. of a drama written by ox-PresidCut Arthur's physicians. In Act I. ho was made to appear in “Malaria,” of which all the country was told when he went to Florida. * In Aot 11. he was represented a tired man. worn down, walking the sands at Old Point Comfort, ant Hooking eastward over tho Atlantic toward Europe for a longer rest. The curtain nails up for Act 111. upon the distinguished actor affected with melancholy from Bright's disease, while Act IV. discovers him with the disease “in An aggravated form, suffering intensely (which is unusual), and about to take a sea-voyage.” Just such as this is the plot of many dramas by playwrights of the medical profession. They write the first two or three acta with no conception of what their character will develop in the final one. They have not the discernment for tracing in flie early, what the latter impersonations will be. Not one physician In a hundred baa thp adequate microscopic and chemical appliances for discovering Bright’s disease in its early stages, and when many do flually comprehend that thete patients are dying with it, when death occurs they will, to cover up their ignorance of it, pronounce the fatality to havo fieen caused by ordinary ailments, whereas these ailments are really results of Bright’s dlsesse, of which they are unconscious victims. Beyond any doubt, 80 per cent, of all deaths, except from epidemics and accidents, result from diseased kidneys or livers. If the dying be distinguished and his friends too Intelligent to bo easily decoived. his physicians perhaps pronounce the complaint to be pericarditis, pyemia, septicemia, bronchitis, pleuritls, valvular lesions of the hoart, pneumonia, etc. If the deceased be less noted, “malaria” is now the fashionable assignment of the cause pf death. But all the same, named right or named wrong, this fearful scourge gathers them in! While it prevails among persons of sedentary habits—lawyers, clergymen, Congressmen— It also plays great havoc among farmers, day laborers, and mechanics, though they do not suspect it, because their physicians keep it from themv IT indeed they are able to detect it. It sweeps thousands of women and children into untimely graves every year. The health gives way gradually, the strength is variable, the appetite fickle, the vigor gets less and less. This isn’t malaria—it is the beginning of kidney disease, and will end — who does not know how/ No, nature has not been remiss. Independent research has given an infallible remedy for this common disorder; but of course the bigoted physicians will not use Warner’s Safe Cure, because It Is a private affair and cuts up their practice by restoring the health of those who have been invalids for years. The new saying of “how common Bright’s disease is becoming among prominent men 1 ” is getting old, and as the Englishman would say, sounds “stupid”—especially “stupid” since this disease is readily detected by the more learned men and specialists of this disease. But the “common run ” of physicians, not detecting it, give the patient Epsom salts or other drugs prescribed by the old code of treatment under which their grandfathers and great-grandfathers praoticed 1

Anon, we hear that the patient la “comfortable.” But ere long, may be, they “tap” him and take some water from him and again the “comfortable” , story is told. Torture him rather than allow him to use Warner's Safe Cure! With such variations the doctors play upon the unfortunate until his shroud is made, when yre learn that he died from heart disease, pyaemia, septicaemia or some other deceptive though “dignified cause.” Ex-President Arthur's case is not singular —it is typical of every such case. “He is suffering intensely.” This is not usual. Generally there is almost no suffering. He may receiver, if he will act independently of his physicians. The agency named has cured thousands of persons even in the extreme stages—is to-day the mainstay of the health of huudreds of thousands. It is an -unfortunate fact that physicians will not admit there is any virtue outside their own sphere, but as each school denies virtues to all others, the people act on their own judgment and accept things by the record of merit they make. The facts aro cause for alarm, but there is abundant hope in prompt and independent action.

Feet in Different States.

“There is a decided difference in the shape of people’s feet in different sections of the country, ” said a member of one of the largest shoe-manufacturing firms in the city recently. “In the Eastern States the feet are narrower and somewhat longer than in the West, while in the South they are not only narrower, but they possess very much higher insteps. So much is this- the case that we are obliged to keep three sets of lasts for these three sections. That comes to be a large item, I can assure you. when it is remembered the number of sizes there are in each set. For example, in one size alone we have the initial number—say sevens; then there are narrow sevens, broad sevens, seven and a quarters (narrow and broad), seven and a half (narrow and broad), seven and three quarters (narrow and broad) —that is, twelve pairs of lasts to one size, and to each of these sizes we must have three different styles for the sections of the country to which we are going to send our goods —that is, thirty-six pair of lasts to one size pair of boots. Sounds rather extravagant, doesn’t it? Of course, this is only the case with firms who deal with all these sections. “Some firms only send their goods to one part of the country. Now, you would be surprised to be told that in different sections of the country different Shapes of the toes of boots are required. Out in the West nothing will suit but the square-toed shoe, whereas in the Eastern States a square toe would be in stock a century and then never sell. Different parts of the country require different kinds of leather also. In the North and West a tougher, harder leather can be worn than in the South, where not only a soft * upper ’ is necessary, but, owing to the sandy, hot soil, quite thin soles are necessary. For this kind of wear it is not unusual to use imported leather—that is. for the ‘uppers—but for soles we employ domestic productions almost exclusively.*— Philadelphia Times.

Ways to Become Attractive.

A Parisian newspaper baa been teaching its lady readers “how to be attractive.” Surely the lady readers of the Vie Pariaienne ought to be in no need of adrice such as the following: “Look confident and indifferent; express yoarSeif simply, and with a voice as sweet as possible. Be keenly alive to everything that passes, yet appear absentminded ; know as much as possible, yet please by asking qaestions. Having read everything, quote nothing; seen everything, appear heard all, always express surprise; desirin g everything, ask for nothing. Be light-heart-ed to preserve your beauty; be indulgent to attract sympathy,” and so on. These laws—some evidently anti-blue-stocking laws—are laid down as absolute, with one exception: “Blush neither for shame nor for pleasure,” to which is added, “if you can help it.” Verily, the good old saying holds good still: “H faut Bouffrirpour etrebelle.” There are, however, some clauses which might with equal advantage be applied to both sexes. For instance: “Do not force wit; always listen attentively; be charitable for your own satisfaction; be frank and yon never need be afraid of the truth; see things at a glance ; judge quickly, and think more quickly still, in order to keep a cool head. ” But wise as these saws are, and however much the world might be benefited by a more general application of them, they belong decidedly 1 to the category of precepts more easily preached than praor txced.

A Secretion That ■ Contaminates the Blood.

When the bile Is diverted from Its proper channels. Into the blood, which is al ways the case in liver complaints.it ceases to be a healthy secretion, and becomes a poison. Its abnormal presence in the circulation and stomach Is indicated by the suffusion of the skin with a hideous saffron tinge, by headaches, vertigo, nausea, pain in the right side and under the right shoulder blade, by indigestion, obstruction of the bowels, and other minor symptoms. Order may he substituted for this state of chaos, and' further bodily evil averted by using the beneficent alterative and tonic, Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, which, by relaxing the bowels, promotes tbc escape from the circulation of bilious impurities, besides rendering tho action of the liver regular, and removing everv trace of dyspepsia This pleasant and purely vegetable antl-bilious medicine is not only infinitely more effective than any form of mercury, but it is,on account of its freedom from hurtful properties. infinitely to be preferred to that poisonous drug.

Ancient Philosophers on Earthquakes.

Anaxagpras, the Rhodian, held that earthquakes are nothing but a sort of cosmic flatulence—winds which have strayed into caverns where they cannot. find an outlet. Aristotle ascribed them to vapors generated by the infiltration of water through the fissures of a rocky sea-bottom; and Pliny, to the pressure of air in deep caves, confined and reacting against the collapse of incumbent rock strata. But the most ingenious explanation was offered by St. Thomas of Aquinas, who suggested that earthqnakes may be caused by the struggles of defunct misbelievers trying to escape (by a simultaneous stampede, perhaps) from a pit of torment.

Brown’s Little Joke.

“Why, Brown, how short yofir coat is,” said Jones one day to his friend Brown, who wittily replied: “Yes; but it will be long enough before I get another.” Some men spend so much for medicines that neither hear nor help them, that new clothes is with them like angels’ visits—few and far between. Internal fevers, weakness of the lungs, shortness of breath and lingering coughs, soon yield to tho magic influence of that royal remedy, Dr. R. V. Pierce’s “Golden Medical Discovery.” “Haven’t you finished scaling the fish yet, Sam?” “No, master; ’tis a very large one.” “ Why, you have had time to scale a mountain.”
