A CORRESPONDENT of the Philadel phia Times interviewed Gqpieral Sher man' the other day on the subject of the new army bill that passed Congress Sherman seems to have talked wilder than ordinarily. The interview, in part, was as follows: ''Well, Genera', how does the law affect general officers?'* "It affects them greatly. For instance. General Sheridan, at Chicago, Is not allowed a horse, while a colonel or a major on the west bank of the Mississippi river is allowed two horses. The law even starves the old black hone that Sheridan rode at Winchester, which was alive at last accounts. The old fellow will have to be shot now, for the government will not feed him." "What have yon done with your horses General?" "Well, I've given the whole d—d thing away, horses, narness and carriage, lion can't sell a horse in Washington, you know One horse, which was old and lame, I ordered to be shot, because I couldn't give him away." "Have you any of your war-horses left?" "No thank God they are all dead, and I shall not have to apol gize to them for the meanness of Congress. I should hate to be obliged to tell them that the government wouldn't feed them."

Now it occurs to us that Sheridan might, perhaps, get Along in Chicago without the use of a horse. He can ride In a horse car, perhaps.' No law forbids hint to ride with common people in the people's carriage. There is no comparison between his situation and that of men on the plains who have occasion to go somewhere occasionally, arid can go in no other way than on horseback. As to Sheridan's old black horse that he rode at Winchester, perhaps Sheridan himself is the best person to "gush" in the vicinity of hi* pocket over him. If Sheridan is proud of the horse, and has any sentiment about him, he wili care for the horse, feeding him out of his abundance in case he has an abundance, and he has, and if he is impecunion?, stinting himself a little. But if he has no sentiment of decency on such subjects, he can imitate the example of the great and only Hiram Grant, who, when he had plenty, sold the horse that bore him through the Vicksburg campaign, to a drayman.

General Sherman will find it a difficult task to arouse the people on the subject of army officers outraged by cutting off their allowance of horses. lie must seek some other point of attack.

NEWS from all quarters indicates that the wheat crop of this country for this year is something immense. Cheap wheat means cheap bread, and that means plenty to eat for everybody. From the New York Herald we lake 6ome inter esting statistics on this subject, as follows: "The winter wheat has matured, a part already garnered, the remainder soon to be. The only adverse contingency is the effect of possible weather between harvest and threshing. Spring wheat is so far advanced ana so remarkably vigorous that it can eesist any except an extraordinary adversity. A large yield may, therefore, be confidently expected. Notwithstanding croaking on one side and gushing en the other the minimum yield of the whole country has never been less than ten bushels, and the maximnm record has never reached fourteen. A medium crop upon 30,000,000 acres would be 360,000,000 bushels, but the present must be more than a medium crop. With the crop indications as here presented, the reader can form his own conclusion^ At thirteen bushels the product would be 300,000,000 at fourteen, 420,000,000 bushels. The very sanguine need not go beyond that figure which is nearly 50 per cent, larger than the fine crop of 1S69.

With a large crop and medium prices the home consumption will be likely to be 235,000,000 bushels 45,000,000 more wili be required for seed 70,000,000 will probably be needed abroad making a demand tor 350,000,boo bushels, with probable surplus sufficient for any possible increase in the foreign demand, caused either by war or unforseen injury to the European crop, for waste and loeses by fire or accident. While there is sure to be bread in abundance it will not be a drug in the market, and, from the present outlook, will not be sacrificed in the hands of the farmer.

England is declining in wheat production her bread imports are rapidly increasing. The first four months of the present year to May I have witnessed an immense importation of wheat and flour, and 61 per cent, of it has gone from this country, amounting to an equivalent of 24,000,000 bushels of wheat. The following are the figures for four months of three years past:

Whei t— 1876. 1877. 1878, Russia, owts Unit'dStat's All conntr'es

This is a remarkable contrast with the past For fifteen years prior to 1S72 the proportion contributed by Russia was 24 per cent, and bt the United States 27 per cent, of all. Since that date our proportion has been constantly advancing, and that of Russia declining.

BACON gave the great original impetus to the philosophy, whose objective point is "fruit" in opposition to the ari6totelian methods which began and ended in "words." He sought to enthuse all men with a desire to invent the means which might enhance man's enjoyments of the good things of life, and still lessen arduous and unnecessary labor. But Bacon was an old fogy. There is no point in laboring fur wealth when it can be legislated. *V.'

THE YOUNG MEN WE WANT The safety and prosperity of the government depends absolutely upon correct moral principles.

en into its constitution, they mustte the life blood of its laws,- and they must give direction to the operations of justice and the securing of civil authority. All national character is modified and shaped by the education of its children and youth. In all popular governments with free principles the cultivation of the rflind of paramount importance. No man is fitted to become a governor until he has learned to govern himself, and to secure the most good from liberty we must understand its proper restraints.

In examing the history of nations

Moral culture is equally important as{. intellectual. To keep alive correct moral sentiments and thus perpetuate the happiness and safety of civil government, correct moral precepts n.ust be engraved upon the minds of the children and be transplant* ed from generation to generation. Our young men are the hope of the church and of the nation. •,

It is related of that German schoolmaster, John Trebonius, the instructor of Martin Luther, that he always ap peared before his boys with uncovered head. He often said, "who can tell what may yet rise up amid these youths. There may be among them learned doctors, sage legislators, or princes of the empire." Even tiien there was among them that solitary monk that shook the world. It is plain that the fathers and pillars of our republic are fast sinking into the graye, and we who follow them will soon have acted our part upon the theater of time and gone to the retributions of eternity. Our young men must soon bear the 1 esponsibilities which rest upon us. Facilities for popular education will not fit them ior this duty. There must be the frequent interchange of corrcct moral feelings and sentiments. We cannot commence too early nor prosecute t09 faithfully the work of forming the characters of our children by proper education. Mere bok learning is not enough. That often fills them )vith pedantry and pride but not with wiqdortl. We want young men of liberal education, of well established, moral habits. The culture 0! the heart should keep pace with the culture of the head. To educate a base youth is to arm him against societyt and turn out a sharper to prey upon his fellow men. No young man's life will be a success unless his mind receives a virtuons bias, and all the faculties of his soul are directed in such a channel that his habits will ever be characterized by integrity.

Near the summit of one of thfe loftiest mountains in the Rocky range, more than ten thousand feet above the level of the sen, are two fountains, so near that it would require but little labor to connect them. As we follow the course of one of these infant rivers, we find it from some slight inclination of the plain, taking an easterly di rection. After traveling for some distance the broad plateau in which it rises, it descends from valley to vtlley, receiving, every few miles, a fresh impulse from some tributary stream, until, at length, united with a thousand others, it finds an ocean-home in the gulf of Mexico, through the mouth «f the "great father of waters." In retracing our steps and following in like manner the course

they were neighbors.. So it is with children and youth. They may start in life upon the same plane, but their destiny as a result ot education and moral bias will be as different as that of these mountain streams. Some of them will follow down one course of lawlessness to another until they find the broad sweeping gulf of condemnation. Other8 will follow one virtu© path after anoth er, until they find themselves surrounded with honor and blest with bountiful stores.

It must be admitted by all reflecting minds that the future of ourjeountry depends largely ,. on the young men of, the present. Every individual in society, has his nich. All classes in satiety have their assigned and proper position.

into, their hands, The fathers who are now the conservators of the public are swifdy receding from the stage cf action, and their work is being commit ted into the hands of the )outh. It is therefore of transcendant importance tha* they should start aright.

ONE of the questions which The Ex. press frequently asks when urging the claims of fiat money, is this: "ft is true that the government makes a dollar of comparatively valueless piece of paper called the greenback?"

The government has for the pa6t six teen years made a piece of paper called a dollar but it has neither been the almost valueless paper, nor the ink, nor the seal, nor the color, which gave it even the fluctuating worth it possessed. Except for the expressed and solemn promise on its face that it shall be paid, it could not, for any period, have passed current. No matter how comprehensive a nation's credit, it is worthless if no attempt or promise of liquidation is made. The idea may be barbarous still it is deeply rooted in all men's minds that, money must be value or the representative of it_ It must be univenally honored. If there is any thing, which is for sale, in the whole range of human desires or nece8 sitles that it will not buy it suffers a depreciation, ^rom this fact comes the power which nations exert over the metals. The stamp and legal tender quality are potent,and some thinkers have been led to consier them all powerful. And this superficial view has given rise to the "fiat" school of financiers. 4

HOT SPRINGS.

(Correspondence to the GAZETTB.) A short time ago, the State Medical Association of Tennessee, met at Memphis, and after a brief session adjourned for Hot Springs, Arkansas, with the com pliments ot all the railroads running to that point On arrival at the depot, at 6:30 A. M., the party was met by the profession and escorted to the Grand Central and Arlington Hotels for breakfast. At 8:30 A. the narty proceeded to see the wonders of Hot Springs, a city of 5,000 inhabitants, with one street two and a halt miles long on the creek, with the bottom merely wide enough for a street car and wagon to pass, and with the buildings on eitner side of the street built in the side of the mountain. The first place of intereft visited was the big iron bath house, owned by Capt. Elliott. ofParis, Ills., which was built in March, 1877, by Mr. Balentine, of Chicago, at a cost of about $25,000. This bath house has forty bath tubs, with a vapor bath room attached to each of them. Each tub has two faucets, one for cold and one for hot water. The wattr as it comes from the earth is 154 degrees, and it requires cold water to cool it, and there are four large tanks of 200 bbls., each, on the side hill above the bath house, with a stationary engine to pump water in the tanks to cool oft. One of the members from the rural district seeing the engine with pipes from the spring remarked: "I havtf .often heard it said the people

Washington, July 9.—Secretary Sherman has sent the following reply to Chairman Potter's letter ofjuly 1: TREASURY DEPARTMENT OFFICE OF

SEC'Y.

'Z Washington, D. C. July

9.

Hon. C. N. Potter, Chairman: SIR: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 1st inst., upon my return to I he city after a brief absence. In respect to the evidence tendered by me to prove frauds and intimidation at the election, I have to say that since the date of your letter the question seems to have been settled by the committee in favor of taking such testimony, as E. L. Weber, a witness called by the committee, has been *examined as to whether there was violence and fraud at the election in East Feliciana. In his prepared statement he was not only allowed to testify to the extent of violence and fraud in East and West Feliciana, but the causes of that violence, and its effect upon the election, and next day was examined by members of the committee distinctly upon the causes and grounds for the throwing out the vote of these parishes. Surely, when the committee thus seeks to prove that violence and intimidation did not prevail in these parishes. I cannot be denied the right to prove that murder, burning, whipping, raiding,and all forms of intimidaation did not prevail in both those par ishes that in East Feliciana these were sufficient to deter every Republican voter from voting, though there had previously been a recognizad majority there, of nearly 1,000 Republicans. Whether the testimony shall be taken anew by your committee, or that by the former committees shall be received, I will, with entire deference, await your decision. With a view to identify the testimony offered by me, I have placed it in the hands of one of your committee, in the order in which it is referred to in my written ofter. In view of the fact that your committee is now engaged in taking further testimony intended to show that the declaration set forth in the vari ous protests are not true, it seems to me that I should be allowed to prove by additional testimony that these protest* are true. I also call your attention to the nature and character of the examination of E. L. Weber on the 3d of July, when no member of the minority of the committee was present tc ot ject or to cross examine, and when, by some misunderstanding, my counsel was denied the privilege *f crossexamination, unless he did so against what was claimed to be the order and wish of the majority of the committee. The questions were not only in form leading, but he was allowed to testify to common rumor, and to his inferences based upon common rumor, and this not only as against me, but against several members of the house of representatives aud other high officers of the government. I also beg leave to correct a misapprehension into which you have fallen in saying that I had given to the public communications aesigned lor you. The only communication I have given to the public is my former offer of the testimony of violence, and that I only gave several weeks after it was sent you, and after Mr. Morrison's paper had been published. But I now respectfully a6k that my tender of testimony and my memorandum to Governor Cox and this letter may be published in the official record. I have also to state that 1 am now prepared, at the convenience of the committee, to submit my testimony here in Washington to repel the charges against me, and have given to Mr. Shell abargei a list of witnesses whom I ask may be subpoenaed.

Very Respectfully, JOHN SHERMAN.

A OUARTETTE QF GRAND MASTERS It is a notatele fact that the Grand Masters of the four great orders. Masons, Odd Fellows, Knight Templars and Arcient Order of United Workmen. Dr. Van Valsrh is Grand Master of the Grand lodge of Masons. Col. Edwards is Grand Master of the Grand lodge of Odd Fellows. Alex Thomas is Mast Emment Grand Commander of the Knisht Templars for the state. Ja nes B. Lyne is the Grand Master of the Grand lodge of Anciedt order of United Workmen. These are officers of the highest character in thes great orders. No city of the state will likely ever be again thus honored.

REASONS WHY.

The reasons why Dr. Price's Flavoring Extracts, Lemon, Vanilla, etc., are super to all others is because they are prepared from choice sel«cted fruits and a.omatics without coloring or poibonous oils, all the flavoring principles are retained unchanged by chemical action, highly concentrated, requiring less to flavor.

THE OVERTURE.

Montreal, July 9.—There was a mass meeting of French Canadians on the Champ De Mars, to-night. About 2,000 persons were present. The tenor of the addresses was in support of the mayor's policy, yrhich the meeting endorsed. A meeting of officers of Irish societies was also held to night. The course of the mayor met the concurrence of the meeting. After the meeting on the Champ De Mars, a crowd of several hundred, belonging to Griffintown, passed through the streets, singing. They halted at Orange hall, St. James street, and broke the windows with stones. No opposition was offered. Subsequently everything became quiet.

THE BREADFUL TARANTULA* The following storv is told from a Sacramento journal:

,:A

party of "Sacra-

mentans returned home last evening from a trip to the mountains,bringing with them two deer skins, one wildcat skin and a few other trophies, including two tarantulas— dead ones. They had a little incident attending the transportation of these specimens which occasioned considerable alarm. It occurred in Cache creek canyon as they were retuning home. The tarantulas, for lack of a better receptacle, were inclosed in a ciglr box when caught, about ten days previous, and this box, carefully tied up, was depo6sited beneath the seat of the vehicle. While they were jolting through the canyon the seat slipped, and the two men occupying it found themselves dropped suddenly into the bottom of the wagon. One of them struck the cigar box, crushing it, and immediately felt that something had hurt him. A glance show'ed him that he was resting on the tarantulas, and with a yell 'I am stung! I'm stung!'he jumped from the wagon, and dashing his hands behind him, as though desirous of lifting himself out of hi4 boo's, he bounced wildly along the road, then, turning made for the wagon, shouting to his amazed and alarmed companions: Whisky! quick! I'm dying! why don't you hurry The other three men—there were four in the parly— reached simultaneously for the demijohn, broke off the cork in their haste to pull it out, and in their efforts to knock oft the neck of the demijohn to save time, broke the entire concern and nearly all the contents were lost. About a pint 01 the liquid was saved, however, and without saying so much as 'Here's luck,' the arty* that was bitten swallowed it. $oon began to feel better, and eventually felt so remarkably well that it was evident that the poison had been forced to succumb.
