Too Fast a General.

The operations of the little army under
Gems. Blunt and Heron in western Arkan-
sas, in December last-their marches, their
battles, and their stupendous achievements,
were the wonder of the whole country.
We supposed that that at least was an army
that would never disappoint the country.
But after these two officers had given Hind
man the most tremendous whipping at Pra-
RE Grove-after their troops had marched
from Fayetteville across the Boston Noun
tains to Van Buren,, had captured that place,
and, gazing across the Arkansas river, had
caught glimpse of the routed rebels flying
as fast as their legs could carry them to-
ward Arkadelph ia-after Blunt and Heron
had captured steamboats,, transports and
abundant supplies, and found plenty of for
age-after the way was open and clear to
Little Rock, and the complete occupation of
Administration. Schofeld, who ranked
both Blunt and Heron, arrived on the field
took command of the army, stopped its
progress, and planted it on the banks OF the
Arkansas river. 1t has not been heard of
since. Gen. Schofeld was sick at St. Louis
while the irrepressible Blunt was performing
his exploits. We fear the journey to Van
Buren, brought him down again. We fear
he is sick-as some imagine the country to
be-of West Point. Of that trouble Blunt
was altogether free. Schoield, however,
has succeeded in throwing away the fruits
of the border fighters victories. As the
latter performed such wonders while in
command, we do not see why he was not
allowed to finish his work.-N Y. Times.

PomeroY soIicitous.

In a recent debate in the Senate on the
bill appropriating money to Missouri, to aid
her in emancipating her slaves, some dis
cussion was had as to making emancipation
immediate, or at least limited to two years
Senator Pomeroy, of our State, favored the
two years limitation, assigning among other
reasons, that when the Missourians made a
prisoner of him in the early Kansas troubles,
be prophesied to them that Missouri would
be free State within ten years. Eight
years had already elapsed, and he wanted
emancipation accomplished in the remaining
two lest the Missourians should think him
a false prophet !-LasOrence Republican.

TO-DAY AND To-MoRRow. = Half the
griefs of the world are ideal. No matter to
what rank of life man belongs, unless he
possesses a remarkably contented quality of
mind, he is perpetually annoyed with small
sorrows, arising from the anticipation of
evils which, in fact, never come TO pass:
At the end of any year he can look back, if
he choose, and count his hours by the score
spent in this manner over ideal misfortunes.
And it is exactly the same thing with our
moments of happiness; for imam never is,
but always to be blest;" for how much of
our enjoyment is occasioned by the expect
alton of pleasurable events which always fail
TO occur! Delight, as well as sorrow, lies
too much in what is never realized. - enr
Common sense, dear reader, ought to take
solid hint from this fact. Never grieSe
over split milk and never over what may
occur. The pasti is irretrievable, and the fti-
ture brings trouble of its own. Enjoy the
present in its innocence as far as circun-l
stances may permit. To-day is certainly
yours-to morrow may not be- zs..-z e..

A singular ease Of somnambulism occur
red recently near Linn, in Usage county,
Mo. The following particulars of the case
have reached US:
On last Friday night, perhaps the coolest
of the winter, young lady who was stay
ing at the house of friend, walked in her
sleep to her fathers, distance of nearly five
miles. The lady performed the feat bare
headed, barefooted and in her night cloth
ing. On reaching her fathers gate, she
became conscious; her first impulse was to
return, but she was prevented so doing. AS
might be expected, she was badly frozen,
but at last accounts was doing well.

a correspondent of a California paper
gives the following extraordinary instance
of perseverance;
Persons on Montgomery street have prob
ably noticed a man selling apples from a
basket at the street-corners, or feeling his
way along the pavement with his cane.
Few, however, are aware that this man is
totally blind, and that he has earned title
to respect and consideration as an example
of extraordinary energy and perseverance.
His name is Finlay, and until recently he
was resident of Canada. Becoming blind,
his physician recommended him to try eli
mate where the winters were mild, encour-
aging him to hope that he might at least
partially regain his sight. Accordingly,
being without means to make the journey,
he boxed up his bed and bedding, shipped
them on the Haze, recently arrived from
New York, and with his wife set out on
foot across the plains, from Missouri, via
Salt Lake, his wife leading him by the hand
all that long weary way. They had thus
accomplished about 400 miles, when the
Overland Stage, III which the writer was a
passenger, overlook them in the midst of
one of the extensive alkali deserts. They
were making from 90 to 25 miles per day,
depending mainly for subsistence upon the
stage stations and receiving help over the
streams of water from stages and emigrant
wagons. They rode with us some fifty miles,
and then. by the permission of the agents
of the Overland Line, were brought on in
the coaches, as the number of passengers
would permit, until near Reese river, when
they overlook freight train, and thus
came on to Sacramento.

The Kansas Second Ahead

We clip the following from the cores
poudenoe of the Atehison Champion. After
an account of the successful skirmishing at
Van Buren,, Arkansas, the correspondent
says:
viii make a statement in regard to this
fight, which 1 challenge any man to contro-
vert: The Kansas Second, or a portion OF
it, headed by Col. Cloud, fired every gun
that was fired at the enemy, from Cane Hill
to Van Buren,
This regiment captured the enemy's train,
with the exception of five or six negroes,
captured by Gen. Herron's cavalry. Col.
Cloud with detachment of this regiment
captured two steamboats,, with valuable
army stores, which were afterwards burned.
The Kansas Cd viii accept no honor or
renown, which others via, but tue time has
come when it viii speak for itself and as
sert her rights.
Gen. Blunt displayed his usual sagacity,
in placing Col. Cloud at the head of the
advance in this march uponVan Buren,, and
do not hesitate to say, for / was near the
Colonel most of the time, that the mingled
caution, daring and impetuosity exhibited
by him on their running fight of twelve
miles, is worthy of all praise; none could
have done better, few could do as well.
Those who overlook or attempt to disparage
Col. Cloud, are, in the opinion of his brig
ade, influenced by feelings of personal rival
ry, and the people may depend upon this,
that he will yet be assigned to the position
to which his military talents entitie him.

Brazil is now the chief country In the
world for the cultivation of coffee, and yet il
is scarcely century since it was introduced
there. Previous to 1895, Java, Cuba. and
the English colonies in the East and West
Indies were the principal producers of cof-
fee. Since that time Brazil has distanced
them all. For number of years she has
produced for expectation nearly half the cof-
fee of the world, and some years she even
exported more than half. In 1909, Brazil
only exported 5000 bags; In 1862, no
less than ,633, IA bags. o - g
