The Army and Navy Journal thinks
Sherman the greatest of all our generals,
not excepting even Lieut.. Gen. Grant. If
success is the test of merit the Journal Is
undoubtedly right, though VIC might
doubt the assertion that Sherman is the
equal of Bonaparte and Alexander Some
men achieve greatness, while others have
greatness thrust upon them. Or the for
mer class is Gen. Sherman; of the latter.

lesser luminaries in the military horizon

of concentrating it upon 4 single point, as Is tho
case in lOck-stitCh machine.
There has been much discussion rs 10 the rel
alive economy of the two stitches; but il is now
generally conceded that for family sewing,
where there are short seams, the Grover and
Baker stitch ia found to be the most economical.
While il uses one-Iifth moro thread i'll max ing

case with the lOck.stitch machine, where there
is usually waste of four inches OF thread at the
beginning and at the end OF each seam to which
must be added the loss Of time in fastening the

FEEDING TRAVELLERS ON THE RAIL
RoAps.-The present method of feeding
railway travellers in this country is any.
thing but satisfactory and it often comes
to be the fact that they are not fed at
all. The man or woman who loses re-
gular meal to gain half hour In time
when travelling, makes a great mistake,
and if persisted in and often repeated
the mischief will become apparent
Hunts Merchants Magasine suggest, the
adoption of q plan for feeding passen-
gers, such as prevails in France. At
Vesoni, station where trains do not
stop long, travellers are informed by adj
vertisements that if they desire break
ia 1T or dinner, hot meals will be found in
baskets at the buffet The meals are
composed of three dishes, half bottle
Of wine, bread and dessert. The passen-
gers leave the empty baskets and dishes
half an hour later at the next station
and pay what is about equal to fifty cents
in American currency for their leisurely
and comfortable repast. The number of
cases of dyspepsia which could be avoid
ed by the adoption of some such planin
this country can scarcely be computed.
On through trains on few of our rail-
roads there are refreshment cars, which
enable travellers to satisfy their appetites
without frantic haste, but such institu-
tons are not made to pay. They are at
tended with too much expense.
On all the great lines railway trains
should stop forty minutes at convenient
stations for passengers to take meals
On some lines this rule is adopted, and
the result has been that they have in
creased in popularity with the public,
though laboring under disadvantages in
other respects The time will come when
no railroad company can prosper this
country that does not look to the com
fort of its passengers in the way of eat
ING. On some roads the stops are made
at unreasonable hours for meals, because
those in authority on the road own stock
in hotels or eating houses. This being
understood by passengers they only eat
at such places when compelled
