Politics In the Army.

From tho Washington Correspondent OF The World /
Every one in Washington understands that
the removal OF PleRsanton, French, Newton,
Sykes, and the other generals from the Army
Of the Potomac, is blow al McClellanisln
there aimed by Secretary Stanton, though
apparently executed by others The stroke is
clever one. Probably il was necessary to
reorganize and consolidate. There were too
many officers for the more than decimaied
ranks Of that brave body OF soldiers and the
necessity of reorganization was the lever
which Stanton has used to accomplish his pur.
pose, but in choosing the generals to be weeded
out, he has had single eye to political Pur
pose.
That purpose is to use every means 10 con.
troll the vote of the Army OF the Potomac in
the coming presidential eleotion. Nov, the
army would vote for General MeClellan, II he
was candidate almost en- Bldsse 10 spite Of
all the Establishments Of NJ Lincoln.
There arc those here who believe, aud do
not hesitate to assert, that il is the intention
Of the administration to perpetuate its power
IN any event, whatever the result Of tbs No.
vember election, and that the plans are laid
| wide and deep to accomplish that result | do
not choose to credit that theory yet, for can
not suppose Mr.. Lincoln and his cabinet think
so lightly Of their own necks, or so meanly OF
their fellow-ctiuntrymen rs to suppose ihat
they could accomplish such revolutionary
plot against the wishes of even n minority Of
one-fourlh the legal voters of tho country /
am only willing 10 admit as yet that the facts
thus far disclosed, the threats OF Republican
plot wcaving, rnn more consistently with that
theory than any other, thus far.
! In spite OF that ] insist upon believing as
yet that the real purpose OF the Republicans
is only to gain the next election by fair means,
| and foul means.

are more valuable than world of

back. To do this n peculiar twist
had to be given to the rope by bend

possible to avoid hitting the pins on u
direct throw. Three throws were a
game and only thirty strokes
could be made. Sheridan, at such
practice had become expert at the play.

twenty STROKES but novice did well

courts of law will remember that some
such scene as this occurs in every 9TH

of this is unavoidable 1t is impossi-
bic to provide against the rudeness Of

many Of the higher class Of advocates

men from all ranks of life, from the

san; talent does not however pre-
suppose breeding, and unfortunately,
if a man is originally Of vulgar ma

foster and aggrayate the disposition to
rudeness and indifference. Much,
therefore, of the bullying system is

LONG DRESSES. We do not see one
lady in ten walking the Streets" says
an exchange, without a constant fus-
sing and fdgeting with the long skirts
OF her dress. Some pin them up at
regular spaces, giving them a very
rumpled appearance; others wear pa
ges' or an elastic cord just below the
waist, pulling up their dresses just as
our grandmothers used to do when
they went to scrub the kitchen; others
frantically seize the side breadths,
holding them in front, having the ap-
pearanee of setting down at the first
convenient opportunity. Some walk
on letting their dress hang till sudden
ly brought up ON the front breadth,
stumble, founder, pull up and try it
again. Now all this could be avoided.
Modesty and respect for the opin-

save the amount the goods cost and

TENEMENT HOUSES IN NEw York
The New York Ecening Post has q
striking article on the way New York
ers live, giving statistics calculated
both to surprise and shock the public.
1t computes that nearly three quarters
of million of men, women and chill
dren in that city live in tenement
houses. The following figures tell their
own story:
OF 1880 families residing in the
city Of New York, only 1890 are able
to enjoy the luxury of an Independent
home; 14,462 other families live in
comparative comfort, two in n house;
4, 416 buildings contain three families
each, and yet do not come under the
head of tenements; 1865 dwelling
houses which remain are the homes of
~, 1856 families, or thirtyzfye souls to
each house But this is only an av-
erage. In the Eleventh ward, 113 rear
houses (houses built on the backs of
deep lots, and separated by narrow
and necessarily dark and filthy court
from the front houses, which are also
''barracks") contain 1853 families, or
nearly Is families or 70 souls each; "a
others contain 407 families, being an
average of 80 souls in each; and in
another ward, ~ such houses contain
no less than 10 families or 90 souls
each
This seems shocking. But this is
by no means the worst. There are
$50 tenement houses in New York
which contain, by actual count, 1898
families, or about SIS persons each; 1913
others, which accommodate Ill per-
sons each; II others, which cover lao
each; and, finally, 29-these must be

total population of no less than 5449

CELESTIAL FROLICS.

The sun had put his night-cap on,
And covered DER his head,
When countless stars appoar'd amid
The curtains round his heal
The moon arose, most motherly,
To take a quiet peep
How all the stars behaved while he
Her sovereign was asleep.
She saw them wink their silvery eyes,
As if in roguish play;
Though silent all, to her they seem'd
As if they'd much to say.
So. lest their frolics should disturb
The sleeping king Of light,
She rose so high that her mild eye
Could keep them all in sight.
The stars, abash'd, stole softly back,
And lookd demurc and prim;
Until the moon began to nod,
Her eyes becoming dim.
Then slcepily she sought her home,
That's somewhere who knows where
But as she wcnt the playful stars
Commenced their tWinkling glare.
And when the moon was fairly gone,
The imps with silyery eyes
Had so much fun it woke the sun,
And he began to rise.
He rose in glory from his eyes
sprang forth newborn day;
Before whose brightness all the stars
Ran hastily away.

A Remarkable Prediction.
Thomas Jcncrson's Prophecy OF IA south
Confe,IerMey


1t is a remarkable fact that at the
time Of the acquisition of the Louisiana
territory, in 1903, the opponents OF
that measure predicted the ultimate
formation Of new confederacy which
would usurp the control Of the eastern
atildents of the Mississippi river. 1t
was in reference to such sinister proph-
ecies that Mr. Jefferson wrote as fol-
lows to Mr. Breckenridge, under date
OF August II, 1903. We quote from
the fourth volume Of his writings, as
officially published by Congress
COLLECTIONS are raising to the cast
ward against the vast extent Of oui
boundaries, and propositions are made
to exchange Louisiana, or part of it
for the Floridas. But, as l have said
we shall get the Floridas without and
l would not give one inch of the wa
tiers Of the Mississippi to any nation
because I see in a light very important
to our peace the exclusive right TO Its
navigation, and the admission of ne
nation into it, but rs il the Potomac
or Delaware, with our consent and I'M
der our police. These Federalists see
in this acquisition the formation of {
new Confederacy, embracing all tn,
waters of the Mississippi, on botl
sides of it, and a separation of it
eastern waters from us. These com
binations depend upon SO many cir
cumstances which we cannot forsee
that | place little reliance on them
We have seldom seen a neighborhooC
produce affection among nations. TIL,
reverse is almost the universal truth
Besides, il should become the grea
interest of those nations to separat
from this; if their Happiness should de
pend on it so strongly as to induc
men to go through that CONFUSION
why should the Atlantic States drea'
it? But especially why should We
their present inhabitants, take sides il
such a question?
"When 1 view tho Atlantic State

waters of the Mississippi friendly in
stead of hostile neighbors on its west

he has no relations of blood or affec

Atlantic and Mississippi will be on
sons. We have them in distinct bu
bordering establishments. We thin
we see their happiness in their union
and we wish it. Events may prove

best use we can make Of the countr
for some time will be to give establish
