Gen. Sherman at West Point-Excellent
Advice to Young Men.

General Sherman made very sig
nificant address to the graduates at
West Point. He told them that to
be good officers they must be good
men, and all, must love their country
and their profession with an ardor in
comparison with which every other
feeling will pale as the rushlight in
the sun. Some practical and useful
end must also be kept in view. Sci-
ence may test to a pound the strain
upon every cord and brace and rod
in the most complicated structure, or
1t may sepaate the component parts
of every mineral, but it cannot PEN
citrate the hearts of men. The SOL
der in the ranks is not a block Of
wood or mere unit, he is a man
full of feeling and passion, varying,
in size and strength and all the at
tributes OF manhood, as one man
varies from another. So bodies OF
men vary still more, while certain
charac teristics pervade them ALL

the camp, in the field, on the plains,
in the mountains, Or the regular forts
where the army is. "You must un-
derstand men, without which your
past knowledge were in vain. You
must come into absolute contact
with soldiers, partake of their food
and their labors, share their vicissi-
tudes, study their habits, impress
yourself on them and BIO impressed
by them, until they realize that you
not only possess more book learning
than they, but that you equal if not
surpass, them in all the qualities of
manhood--in riding, in swimming,
in enduring the march and bivouac,
in the sagacity of the true backs
woodsman and hunter; and what is
most important Of all, you must
acquire that great art Of human
control by which masses of men
are led to deeds Of infinite courage
and herOism +"

The LEARNED .-Elihu
Burritt will have to look out for his
laurels. There is man in the
Brooklyn Navy Yard who has for
many years done the work and drawn
the pay of a machinist, who has yet
found time during all this while to
crafty yearning thirst for knowl-
edge. 1t may be surprising, yet it is
nevertheless true, that be has master
ed the French, German and Italian
tongues, made himself partially ac>
quaipted with Hebrew, and obtained
a thorough knowledge of botany and
geology. He continues to work on
from day to day at the Navy Yard
bench, spending all his nights and
moons in study, and outstanding all
his earnings to purchase books, of
which be has now library of nearly
eleven hundred volumes. He is GER
tainly remarkable man, who has
led the life of a recluse and yielded
to a seemingly unnatural thirst for
knowledge.

DIsCovERY.-A singular discovery
has recently been made at Cincin-
natl. 1t seems that man upset his
kerosene lantern into his meal bin,
and he noticed afterward that his
hogs eat the damaged fodder with
avidity. This gave him an idea, and,
by experiment, he found that FIVE
weeks feeding with the kerosene
mixture made one of his hogs so fat
that it could hardly stand. The am
imal was then tried into lard with
the following result: When cool the
lard did not CONCEAL, but the addition
of certain amount of potash resolv.
ed the contents of the kettle into
three dis tinct substances, the first a
light, transparent foil, better than
kerosene or sperm oil, the second a
jelly like substance which turned to
soap, and last small residium of in
soluble muscle.

A GRAND WEDDING AT GALENA.--
The marriage of Col. Geo. G. Pride,
of New York city, formerly of Gen.
Grants staff, to Miss Mary l.. Still
man, the beautiful and accomplished
daughter of Nelson Stillman, Esq,
an old resident of that city, at Gale
ma, On Thursday, was magnificent
affair, the most brilliant which ever
took place west of Chicago. We
quote from the Galena Gazette &C
count:
The bride having been o guest of
the Presidents family at Washington,
during last winter, and having visited
much in the eastern cities and in
Europe has a very extensive &C
quaintance; and q large number of
her friends from New York, Brook
lyn, Boston, Washington, Chicago,
Dubuque, and elsewhere. were pres
ent to witness the ceremony. She
was attended by five bridesmaids, in
the following order: Miss Anna
Childs of Boston Miss Alice Graves,
West Fewton, Mass. Miss Lizzie
Stephenson, daughter of Col. G. l..
Stephenson, of this city Miss Lizzie
Powers, Chicago, and Miss Hattie
Langdon, Brooklyn, New York
The groomsmen were Messrs. Geo.
Headly, New York +; Geo. Schlover,
New York Frank Graves, West
Newton, Mass. Samuel R. Plat, of
New York, and Col. NJ. NJ. Miller, of
Galena. The bride was dressed
deliberately, but in the most exquis-
tie taste. Besides the large number
who were present at the ceremonies,
not less than three hundred persons
were at the reception, and paid their
respects to the happy couple. Con-
gratulatory letters were received
from General Grant and Generals
Sherman and Sheridan. The bridal
presents were perhaps more numer-
Gus and valuable than ever bestowed
before upon apon bride in this por-
ton of the country. They are esti..
mated to be worth $4,000. One
bracelet, set with diamonds, cost
$1,000.
The party left for the East the
evening of the wedding in a special
train made up of Pullman's palace
cars, and will make an extended tour
throughout the Eastern and Southern
States.

cipally of men and boys, dressed in
their every day clothes. Some of
them stare about them, or talk with
each other. Instead of sitting down

many stand up and walk about
Perhaps some win come up TO the
speaker and try to look overh book,
if he reads from the Bible, or they
will examine the foreign stove if it
is cold weather and there is fire in

to sell and if warm weather very
many will strip the upper part OF

selves, so as to be as cool as possible.
Oftentimes, unless forbidden to
smoke, several engage in smoking
little pipes full of tobacco, having
first struck fire by means Of a flint
and piece of steel and some very
dry paper. Almost every Chinaman
carries about with him his pipe and
tobacco, and materials for striking
fire. Sometimes q beggar.

The TEA THAT COMES TO THE
UNITED STATEs.-We were in tea
house at Canton-drinking such SUI
perfne tea as we never tasted in the
United States. We noticed that
large jars were placed under each
table, into which all the grounds
were tossed. Chinese do not, as all
ready stated, steep their tea in a pot,
but put it into your cup, pour in hot
water, covering the cup to retain the
steam, allowing it to stand five min>
utes, draining of and refilling The
second cup is considered the best,
and the third filing is very good
But when the strength is exhausted,
the grounds are thrown into the Jars,
taken out doors, spread On cloths,
dried, doctored, repacked, aud sent
over to US The average cost of teas
in China is from fifteen to twenty
cents per pound, but duties, freights,
insurance, interest on capitol, profits
to importers and middle men, swell
it to prices which make it an article
of luxury. More poor tea is drank
in the United States than in any 9th.
