Little johnny was preparing for Sanday'
School, situated some; distance away. uhen
his mother saw one OF their neighbors APP

the way, was called ..rhe Rich Man, being

took him into his wagon, as he was goingss
right past the Sunday School. 1t was very

"Reminiscences OF 10. shelby.
ExpedifiOn to Mexico, After

Preceding Jo. ,SheIby's arrival In Mon

Achilles Dnpin, Frel.ehmaR, who was
known as 1.-THE Tiger of the Tropics
What he cid would fill volume. Recorded
here, no reader would belle it-no Chris
tian would imagine such warcfare possible.
He was past sixty. tall as Tetnmseh. streight
as rapiers with 4 svat in the saddle like an
English guardsman, and waist like wo-
man. For deeds Of desperate daring he had
received more decorations than could be dis
played upon the right breast Of his uniform.
His hair ard beard snowy white, contrasted
strangely with stern set face that had been
hronzed by the sun and winds Of tifty cam
paigms.

Such man. however. had need of the

Emperor gave him back his rank his deco

Mexico.
Maximillian refused him; Bazaine found
work for his sword. Dupin was ordered 10

A WoMAN's VIRw OF IT.-The last
charge against the President by Mr.. Sum
ner is most curious. lie objects to having
the names of the battles with the rebellion
bla zoned on the regimental colors of the
United States because 1t would tend to NOR
tify the conquered, and keep alive hostile
feelings. This is wise as well as kind.
But it eNcites smile when he urges the
removal of President Grant, because she is
a regimental color" unpleasantly remind
ing them of their frustrated efforts 10 de-
stroy the nations life. If we should ever
have another rebellion, it behooves patriot
ic citizens to beware how they try to sup
press it I; for, in proportion to their bravery
and patriotism, they must, according TO
Mr.. Summers doctrine, be forever after ex-
cluded from office, for fear of hurting the
feelings of unsuccessful traitors. Mr.. sum
ner made himself hateful to the South by
urging emancipation and arming the
blacks, as the surest means OF ending the
war, and by advocating the suffrage of the
freedmen, as necessary to the security of
their civil rights. Must they not regard
him also "regimental color" Extensively

GEN. SHERMAN INTERVIEwED.-Gen.
Sherman has been interviewed since his re-
turn from Europe. lie expresses the opin-
ion that the Republic of France will at least
last during Thiers' time, if it does not sur
vive him. He believes Thicrs is patriot,
earnest in all that is for the country's good,
and that France will attain high degree
OF prosperity under his administration.
General Sherman has high opinion of the
efficiency and training of the Prussian
troops. AS to the future of Bismarck's
empire, General Sherman said: "United
Germany, in my opinion, is destined long
to exert controlling influence in Europe.
1t is STILL however, matter of doubt
whether Il combination held together by a
single hand will not fall to pieces al that
hands withdrawal, an event which when
l was there, seemed not likely to happen
soon. l met all of Prussian's galaxy of
great men, with the exception of Bismarck,
who remained in seclusion at his villa.

seeing any one all the time 1 was in the

How THE PIUTE INDIANS LIvE.-The
Virginia City Enterprise, of January 6, says:
some would naturally suppose the situation
at present with the Piutes cncamped on the
hills surrounding the city to be rather rough,
yet we hear of no sickness of any kind among
them, nor any complaint about anything
They come in town-men and women, great
and small-as regularly as usual; look as
sleek as ever, and are just as jolly as in mid
summer. As there is not stick of wood of
any kind on the hills where they are camped,
or not even a sage-brush as large as a mans
finger, it is wonderful how they manage to
keep from freezing to death during the heavy,
driving snow storms. The bits of boards and
small stick which the squaws are able to find
about tow scarce suffice to cook their meat.
and is so scanty and so precious that they
dare not venture the extravaganza of burn
ing it for the purpose of keeping themselves
warm. In order to keep warm they must
huddle in heaps in their brush huts-old and
young, great and small, piling up together ir-
respective OF condition. By going to the dis
lance of twenty or thirty miles from the city,
they might find camping places where they
could obtain an abundance of wood, but they
would find their means of subsistence most
precarious; in fact, did they depend entirely
on game, all would starve to death. Here
they are able to find plenty of good, strong
food, and having that, they appear to defy
the inclemency of the season. One stormy
night passed in even the best of their sage
brush huts-a structure resembling the musk
rat house-would probably be the death of
any white family that might risk the trial
yet the Piutes laugh at the storm, and in the
midst of the whirling cloud of snow, cry 'Ha!

THE PR ESS

STEWARDS PALACE.-Stewarts marble
building on Fifth Avenue, New York, which
he has erected for a home, is approaching
completion. 1t is nearly furnished, and will
be ready for occupancy early in the spring
It is. without question, the most superb pri-
yate residence in the country. 1t has cost
three millions without the furniture. The
frescoes are unequaled, except those in the
Prince Ball Room at Buckingham Palace.
The style of the building has been adopted,
because Stewart intends to donate it to the
city for gallery when he gets through with
it. 1t is a sepulchral place, with its stone
floors and stone stairs, nay, requiring fire
in summer and winter to keep it habit
able. Mrs. Stewards room is an excep-
ton. The wood work on her suite alone
cost $4,000. Every room has carpet
imported and made to fill it, and the color of
each room is different. The doors are solid
rosewood with silver trimmings, and it cost
5000 to hang each door in the parlor The
picture gallery is complete. Several of the
pictures have cost over $4,000. The two
most celebrated are ''The Prodigal Son" and
''The New England Thanksgiving Dinner"
The water works are marvels of elegance and
of ingenious continuance. After the parlors,
the two most celebrated rooms in the house
are General Grants room," which is fitted
IN with great elegance, for Mr.. Stewart and
the President are great friends; then comes
the SERVANTS parlor." That is fitted up more
gorgeously than any gentleman's parlor that
have seen in New York. Curtains. mirrors
imported carpets, elegane chairs covered with
red leather, and pictures adorn the room
Huge ranges, and every conceivable modern
convenience can be found in the kitchen
The doors are barred against visitors general
ly, and the house when done is not to be pu
on exhibition.
