SHERMAN AND STANToN.-The old feud between
Sherman and Stanton, provoked by the latter at
the time when Sherman concluded his over hasty
treaty with Joe Johnston, has been ever since
subject of notification to Mr.. Stanton. The great
soldier is the last type Of man to afrOnt, even
though, in q civil sense, you may be his master.
General Sherman refused to take Stanton's hand
when the Army of the West paraded through
Washington in 1866. The attitude of sherman has
not materially changed since; and thought saw
a very apparent enjoyment on the generals face
to-day when Mr.. Curtis gave Stanton little pass
ing "dig.n He had quoted precedent in the
case of Floyd's resignation from Bachsnan's
cabinet.
"Mr. Floyd" said Curtis, " had the good sense,
or the good manners, or the good something, to
90 when requested"
Here Sherman pricked up his ears aud seemed
10 be the best bumOred man 10 court.
Stsnton, indeed, although the chief pretext in
this case, is by no means popular man, aud it is
no feeling in his favor that anmates the mass of
the Republicans here when they hope for the de-
position of johnson. He offended the vanity, hurt

MIcHELET.-A Paris letter says: What a pro-
digious sap of life is contained in the individuality
of old Micheet. His physiognomy has acquired
none of that calm serenity, the attribute Of old
age-the sharp profile is just as expressive as
ever of the slightest emotion which exctes his
sensibility; the long white hair floats in undmin-
ished masses over his still unbent shoulders, and
his powerful forehead is still as smooth as ever.
Neither is the moral Of the map a whit altered.
He boasts of the obscurity of MS birth with as
much pride as other men vaunt the aristocracy of
their origin, and says in loud, imperious tone,
. | am the son of bsrbsrians.' He has maintained
all through his life the right to be classed among
the people by incessant labor, by faith, by the
lessons learned when he followed his father TO the
printing office to afford what help his little fingers
could, and ease the burden Of the days toll Of
the journeyman printer whose life was sacrifice
10 his family. : / have grown mp he often says,

King Th..dore's Personal Power.

General Merewethe received letters dated ian
uary 18th, from Magdala to-day. The prisoners
are well, hopeful and in good spirits. They say
that Theodore could not be at Magdals In less
than month and a bali, counting from the date
Of their letter. That would give US just time,
could only start at once from here TO get there
before him. 1t is most tsntalizing, bat fear
there is no chance Of the advanced division
moving on from here under ten days. 1t is still
possible that Theodore may not march straight to
Magdals. The people have an idea that he means
TO meet and fight us. do not myself believe II.
II is more probable that he may go out or his
way TO strike blow against Wakshum Gobayzie,
and, by defeating him, regain his lost prestige
and crush man likely to become an ally OF ours.
That would be good generalship on his part; il
successful, il would greatly strengthen him, and
restore confidence to his army.
II such fortunate thing occurred as that
GObayZie defeated him, all would then be over.
do not believe even the infatuated slaves wSo
now remain with him would continue faithful after
that. 1t is quite past comprehension how it Is
that he has not long since been murdered by his
soldiers. The atrocities he commits are awful,
and are perpetrated against his own followers;
even women are not spared; some having been
put to death in q most barbarOus manner. They
were tied up in SKINS then the skins were
drenched with oil and set on fire. The other day

flung his spear at the nearest man, and tEansfxed
him. killing him on the spot.
There he STOOD unsrmed, among them. And
what did they do? Instead of rushing upon him,
they bowed themselves TO the ground, aud said
they were his slaves, and that he might do to
them ss he thought fit. Such is the extraordinary
influence that this man has gained over the minds
of the people, by his iron will and indomitabe
energy and coursge-great qualities of which he
is undoubtedly the pOssessor. Strength of will
and frmness of purpose make themselves felt 10

AMERICANS IN EGYPT.-An Alexandria, Egypt
letter OF February 9Th to the Boston Pest contains
the following interesting paragraph This is the
season of the influx of Americans into Egypt, aud
the number is even greater than in any previous
year. OF the seventy-fve ddhdbiyehS, or private
sailing boats, which have ascended the Nile, no
less than fifty fly the American flag and contain
American parties. Last week four crowded
stesmboats left Cairo for the lower cataract, sim
ultaneOusly. All the passengers we're Americans,
with two or three exceptions. Among them were
the Rev. DR.. Bellows, Mr.. Fettridge, the com
piler of Harperis Handbook of European Travel,
Judge Allen, OF Arizona, James K. Lawrence,
Of Bost on and one or two newspaper men from
Boston and New York. Mr.. Consul General Hale,
our representative in Egypt, has just returned
from a trip on the Nile, fer which a steamboat
was placed at his disposal by the vicer0y. At my
hotel no less person than John @. Breckenridge
is now sojourniDg. He has been paying brief
visit to Cairo, and returns in day or two TO
France whence he will soon leave for Canada,
with his children now at school in Versailles. He
looks much thinner and somewhat older than
when he sat in the United States Senate. He de-
clared 10 an American at the dinner table, yester-
day, in my hearing. that he was tired of his pro.
longed absence from the country, and longed to
returnN

THE WILD WoMAN.-In the Grand Cane neigh
borhood in this country, short time ago, gen.
tleman in the depths of the forest suddenly came
upon woman, as wild and almost as feet aud
untamed as a deer. After brisk chase of some
distance, the gentleman on horseback, overlook
the wonderful creature. when she halted, and he
found her 10 be a medium sized, midde-aged,
well formed woman, with long dark hair, with
clear blue eyes. She was in a state of nudity,
save a girde Of gray moss about her loins Her
body and limbs we're covered with a beautiful
coat of hair about four inches in length. She was
much frightened and seemed unable TO talk, but
must have comprehended signs, as, in reply to
motions of the gentleman by which he sought TO
induce her to accompany him out of the woods,
she constantly pointed to her forest home. Fin
ally, the gentleman endeavored to compel her to
90 The way be desired, by getting before her. and
by threatening gestures with his gun, and, she be-
coming enraged, seIzed club and turned upon
him with the fury Of demon, aud II was only by
the speed impaired to his steed by liberal use
of the spurs that he kept out of her way. After
driving of her pursuer she resumed the directions
sbe had so constantly pointed, and was soon out
of sight. The gentleman followed, and, after GO
ing some distance, came upon her home. Three
trees, standing near each other, in triangular
form, with the spaces between them walled up
with brush and moss made her moss bed between
them, secure from the rude blasts of winter, and
comparatively secure from the pitiless rain. The
only stores discovered were q few nuts and some
four or five bushels of corn.

Aneedote OF Queen Victoria and the Dake
of Wellington.
BY TENELLA.

The extract from Queen Victoris's 4" Life 10 the
Highlands, !" respecting the Duke OF Wellington,
recalls TO my mind an anecdote heard OF ihem
from the Hon. Miss Murray, which as II mas not,
believe, ever appeared in print, may be inter-
estipg 10 some of the readers of Southern Society.
The queen was on a visit to the duke, who, in
spite of her entreates to the contrary, persisted
in himself performing all the duties OF host, and
observing all the etiquettes of sovereign and sub
iect. 1t was in vain that she begged him to re-
gard her but daughter visiting her father, and
assured him that his age and position as the hrst
man in England rendered it incumbent on him only
TO treat her as equal. The old gentleman would
not hear Of abatng one title OF the usual ceremo-
NAL, neither would be delegate his duties to an
other but insisted, among other things, In preced'
ing the queen every night when she retired, walk
ing backwards, and carrying candelebra IN his
hand, while she followed in fear and trembling
lest some misstep should bring the tottering old
man down. She used TO declare to her ladies that
the etiquette of retiring haunted her all day.
fearful was she that I" the dear old man" " would
be mortified by an unexpected fall when bowlng
her out.
Like many old gentlemen, the duke frequently
dozed in the pauses of conversation, and the
queen finding il mortified him TO have IL sup
posed that he even closed his eyes in her pres
ence was always ready with some remark as be
opeped them which prevented his feeling con-
scous of his forgetfulness. On one occasion,
when they were sitting in state in the large re-
ception hall, awaiting the arrival of the guests
from the neighborhood who were to be presented
TO the queen, the duke fell into sumber more
profound than usual and the queen observing it,
held Nd her hand for silence, in order that he
might not be disturbed. Suddenly the door
opened and an usher advanced. preceding the
first guest before be could speak Q1een Vic
toria motiOned 10 him to be silent, put her finger
10 her lips and, turning to the guests with smile
and nod, intimated that they must not awake
the duke. Understanding her sign, they stood
still. instead of advancing and for five minutes
the Iron Duke slept peacefully in the presence
of his sovereign, she watching his face intently
all the time ahd when he opened his eyes speak
ing 10 him as if quietly carrying on conversa
tion that had not been interrupted, while, with
motion of her hand unseen by him, she ordered
the usher 10 advance. The duke, as he heard his
voice, arose and presented the guests to the
queer, totally unconscious that they and she had
been for five minutes watching his slumbers.
IL is by such womanly tact and kindly regard
for the feelings of others that Queen Victoria
has won the love of her subjects, love which
even her faults cannot turn away or ex
tingush.-[Southern Society.

ANECDoTE OF Tom MARsHALL.-The Louisville e
journal relates: About thirty-four or i've years
ago Tom Marshall and we went one night to the
office of DR.. DeClary, then a well known physi-
clan Of this city. Tom had been drinking con-
siderably, and was in a glorious humor. We
were all having fine time, when the doctor 8
little negro, about twelve years old, black as
midnight without moon,' came grihaing into the
room. Tom said: / am told that you little mig.
gers can butt like billy-goats,' aud threw himself
down upon all fours for an encounter. The little
Niger instantly took the same position, butted
Tom, and knocked him entirely across the room.
We thought Tom was killed, and he thought so
himself; but after a while he was able TO sit up,
with only q terrible headache that lasted twenty
four hours. The doctor, in his wrath, was about
to kill the little Niger. but Tom generously inter-
posed in favor of his conqueror, gave him a quar-
ter, and said: 'D-d If ever have butting
match with q niger sgsin.'n
