The WORLD ON GRAND TAcr1cs.-Ths
New York World has engaged some sapient
military critic to write down General Gr.n.
and prove what poor soldier and wicked
butcher he was. The Philadelphia Posts
military man comes to the assistance of tho
World, and with pungent wit tells how Gen
eral Grant shou Id have done, as follows:
He ought to have formed brigade line
of regimental columns, doubled on the CEN
ter; then moved by parallel reeimental col
umns, ght in front spent six months in
semi oblique, front face, left wheel, in front
of wooden cannon {; then marched up the
Peninsula, eyes front and toes turned out.
to the Chic,hominy then la id backs down,
eyes closed, and heels turned up, for two
months in the mud and then reiterated, right
oblque, hair on end, and coat-tails flying.
on the road he came This is the wav
Han did, and he was great Demo
cratic General, and all the distinguished
rebel soldiers were very much oKended when
he was removed. The truth is evident that
Grant won all the battles and suppressed the
rebellion by tranSgressing these time hon
ored rules, and We hope the American PEG
pie will properly punish him for it next Nc
vember.

The earthquake Of the 18th Of August was

must have been sutfocated, but in about

my household gods together, | then started
for the hills. How passed through falling

nutrition. Many persons tumble their food
pIecipitately into their mouths and swallow il
without mastication, contrary to express laws
of nature. Food should under 20 thorough mas
