GENERAL SHERMAN's INTEGRITY.-A cor
respondent relates the following concerning
General Sherman, and his brother John, the
Senator. The General cannot be accused Of
nepotism, that is certain:
The following circumstance goes far to
show that General Sherman is no respecter
of persons and shows very little favoritism
in the administration of affairs in his militia
ry command. While Senator Sherman was
here on visit, he was presented by Frank
Blair with very fine horse, captured during
the South Carolina campaign. He was told
he must get pass from his brother, the
General, before he could ship the animal to
the North, but thought this would be a verv
small matter. So he went to Cump's"
headquarters to tell him Of his luck, and get
the necessary document.
" lt's splendid horse, Cump." said the
honorable Senator . and if you will Just
sign a permit, I'll take him up in the boat
with me-
Cump replied, adjusting his shirt.collar
with both hands. "I'm verv glad be
Is good horse. We are very much in need
OF good horses in the army | have some

The grave and reverend Senator was taken
aback by this, and again reminded the Gen.

CAUTION


FROM
The AMERICAN WATCH CO.
1t having come to our knowledge that limitations
of the American Watch have been put upon the
market in great bers calculated by their utter
worhessness, to injure the reputation of our gem
une products, to protect our own interests and the
public from imposition, again publish the trade
marks by which Watches may invariably be
known.
We.manufacture four styles of Watches
The FIRST has the name
AMERICAN WATCH CO., Waltham, Mass"
engraved on the inside plate
The SECOND has the name
APPLETON, TRACY CO., waltham,
Mass engraved on the inside plate
The THIRD has the name
"P. S. BARTLETT, Waltham, Mass" engrav-
ed on the inside plate.
All the above styles have the same American
Watch Co. painted on the dial, and are warranted
in every respect.
The FOURTH has the name
" W. l-h1j.h1, DOcluu, Mass. engraved on
the inside plate and is not named on the dial
All the above described Watches are made of
various sizes. and sold in gold or silver cases.
as may be required.
tits hardly possible for us to accurately de-
scribe the numerous Limitations to which we have
alluded. They usually inscribed with names so
nearly approaching to escape the OBJ
servation of the unaccustomed buyer. Some are
represented as made by the "Union Watch Co., of
Boston, Mass. no such company existing. Some
named the Soldiers Watch - to be sold as our
Fourth or VIM. Ellery style, usually known as the
:" Soldier Watch;'' others are named the Apple
ton Watch Co. y others the "P S. Bartley," in
stead of our P. S. Bartlett besides many varieties
named in such manner as to convey the idea that
they are the veritabe productions of the American
Watch Company
A little attention on the part of the buyers will
protect them from gross imposition.
For sale by the trade generally.

The Carrier Pigeons.

To refresh the readers knowledge of what
is the character of the pigeon: He is orig
inally native of the Asiatic "East" st"-call-
ed, in the Arabic language. by the word
hamahn He is very beautiful bird, with a
ring of parti-colored feathers around his neck.
with red feet covered with down, and with
such wonderful speed of flight that it is au-
thentically stated to be 2, 700 English miles IN
day. In the province of lrac (Assyra)
white pigeons are trained with less difficulty
than any Others The first one used as
messenger is supposed by some antiquarians
to have been " the dove which Noah sent
from the ark, and which returned with the
leaf of the olive" An actual post system,
in which pigeons were the messengers, was
established by the Sultan Nourreddin Ma
hamound, who died in ll64. The price of a
well trained pair of such birds was, at that
time. one thousand Arabic gold ducats-
(S2,000)
1t requires much time and patience to
train the carrier pigeons, and only few
wealthy individuals in the East can afford to
keep them. As soon as the young cock and
hen are fedged, they are made tame, and
taught to need each others society as much
possible. They are then sent in an uncov-
cred cage to the place whittier they are
thereafter to bring messages. If one of
them is then carried awa3, it will certainly
return to its mate from any point and from
any distance. A small letter is written on
the finest silk paper.
This is placed lengthwise under one wing,
and fastened with pin (the point turned
from the body to one particular feather.
No part of the letter must hang loose, lest
the wind, collecting in it, the wing become
tired, and the pigeon become compelled %
alight. The wonderful attachment to home
inherent in this bird as its special charac-
teristic-always brings it back to the dove
cote, when set at liberty. Unmindful of
Summer heat or Winter storms, it wings is
fight through the air, across the desert Or
ocean, never stopping for rest until it s
perched again on the paternal eyrie.
