GEN, SHERMAN AND MRS. DIR. WALKER.

The presence of Mrs. DR.. Walker ut the
Woman's Convention, renews the recollection
of an interview which took place between that
somewhat remarkable person and General
Sherman, at Atlanta, during the war, and sew
eral weeks after the city had been captured.
By some means known only to the mysteries
of the female mind, the woman doctor had
been able to avoid the order forbidding any OF
her sex to enter the city, and with degree OF
perseverance peculiarly her own she walked
into the private room OF Gen. Sherman, ana
demanded commission in the medical depart
ment of the army. The fact is not publicly
known, but Gen. Sherman is weak when w0-
man is cOncerned-that is to say, he would run
rather than have hard words with one OF them;
and the tears of female rebel had more ter
ror to his soul than thousand Beauregards
&c. when the little doctor renewed again and
again her demand for an appointment, the Gen
eral, like great soldier, as he is, changed tao
tics in the face of the enemy.
"Why don't you wear proper clothing! That
toggery is neither one thing nor the other"
said the General, as he pointed his finger to the
nondescript garb of the doctor.
"Well, general" replied the young woman,
II suppose you would like to see me in hoops,
aud heavy skirts dragging down my hips, to
the OBSTRUCTION OI HtdltH anu COuliuIt! w uA1
right, sir, have women who bear children thus
to destroy their best powers aud unit them
selves to be wives and mothers"
This, and much more, she said about woman's
reforms.
The conquerer of Atlanta was somewhat
taken aback by this charge of horse, foot and
dragon, but he plucked up courage. ,
did you ever bear any children?" no asked
with sardOnic emphasis.
She had to admit that she had not done any
thing of the kind
The General added severely:
IL don't know that should especially desire
to see you, hoops or no hoops, nor do see any
need that woman should be injured by wearing
them, or the moderate use of the costume OF
the day; but do know for q certainty that you
and such as you put on that dress from atfec-
tation. you wish all example of what wo-
man should be and ought to determination,
cried the General, getting excited, what are
you here for anyhow Brooches or no breech-
es, the Presidents wife would not dare te dis
obey orders. Put on decent clothes, go back
to Nashville, enter the hospitals where our
poor boys are dying of wounds and fever, and
initiate the example of the women in hoops
and petticoats, who are devoting their time to
the work of nursing"

IDAHO WORLD.
CHINESE DISCOVERY OF AMERICA.

Passages are found in ancient Arabian DOCKS
which speak of continent to the west OF the
Atlantic ocean, and now come the Chinese sa-
vans and claim that their countrymen knew all
about this continent long before its discovery
by Columbus j. Hanley, Chinese interpreter
in San Francisco, has compiled the following
statements from Chinese works:
Fourteen hundred years ago America had
been discovered by the Chinese and described
by them. They stated that land to be about
go 600 China miles distant from China. About
800 wears after the birth of Christ, Buddhist
priests repaired there, and brought back the
news that they had met Buddhist idols and re-
ligious works in the country already. Their
description in many respects resemble those Of
the Spaniards thousand years later. They
called the country "Fusany," after a tree
which grew there, whose leaves resembed
those of the bamboo, whose bark the natives
made cloth and paper out Of and whose fruit
they ate. These particulars correspond ex-
actly and remarkably with those given with
the American historian, Prescott, about the
moquay tree of Mexico. He states that the
Aztecs made pulp for paper making out of
the bark of this tree. Then, even its leaves
were used for matching; its fbres for making
ropes; its roots yielded nOurishing food; and
its sap, by means of fermentation, was made
into an intoxicating drink. The accounts given
by the Chinese and Spanish, although thous
aud years apart, agree in stating that the ma
tives did not possess iron, but only copper;
that they made all their tools tor working IN
stone and metals of a mixture of copper aud
tin, and that they, in comparison with the ma
tives of Europe and Asia, thought but little of
the value of gold and silver. The religious
customs and forms of worship presented the
same characteristics to the Chinese 400 years
ago as to the Spauiards 400 years ago.

SOMETHING PITHY-Four gentlemen-a
Baptist Presbyterian, Methodist and Roman
Catholic-met by agreement to dine on fish,
Soon as grace was said, the Catholic rose,
armed with knife and fork, and taking about
one-third of the fish, comprehending the head,
removing it to his plate, exclaimlng as he sat
down, with great self satisfaction Papa est
caput ecclesG!" (the Pope is the head OF the
Church, Immediately the Methodist minister
arose, and helping himself to about one-third,
embracing the tail, seating himself, said, Fiais
coronat opus" (the end crowns the work.
The Presbyterian now thought it was about
time for him to move, and taking the remain
der of the fish to his plate, exclaimed: In
media est re,itast" (truth lies between the
two extremes). Our Baptist brother saw
nothing before him but an empty plate, and
the prospect of slim dinner; and, snatching
up the bowl of drawn, (melted butter) he
dashed it over them all, saying, EGO baptiso
ras ," Il baptise you ally.
