Sheridan's Escape at Appomattox.

A correspondent of the Philadelphia Press
relates the following incident:
In Georgia heard an incident in connec-
tiOn with Lieutenant General Sheridan, which
Little Phil will read with some little sur
prise, and lay down the paper with some
grateful feelings toward the gallant soldier
who saved his life. The night previous to
the sur ender of Lee at Appomattox, Gen.
John b. Gordon, who commanded Stonewall
Jackson's old corps, Gen. Fitzhugh Lee,
commanding the cavalry, and Gen. Long
street, held a consultation with Gen. r. E.
Lee. At this consultation it was agreed that
Gen. Gordon should try the federal strength
on the following day. Sheridan was in COM
mand opposite Gordon. In accordance with
the pr gramme, Gordon made his demonstra
tiOns the next day and was met by Sheridan S
cavalry, which he calamity repulsed, but find
ing Sheridan supported by large numbers of
of infantry, fell back and sent this intell-
gence to Gen. R. E. Lee. Upon its receipt
Gen. Lee ordered the firing to cease, and dis
played the white flag, under which the sur
render was subsequently made. During the
cessation of hostilities, and while Generals
Grant and Lee were in consultation, Gen.
Sheridan, with large retinue of officers
and men-about one hundred in all-was
seen approaching Gen. Gordon's lines. OF
course, this cavalcade, as it came dashng
across the plain, challenged the attention OF
Gordon's entire force. CHANGING to turn his
head. General Gordon saw long, lank Mis-
sissippian within a few yards OF him delib-
erately training his cooked rifle on the ap-
preaching horsemen. Gordon dashed at the
marksman and rode him down, with an ex-
clamation more emphatic than refined.
''What do you mean, sir ?" thundered the
irate Gordon; "dont you know firing has
ceased by my order?" II know, General"
replied Mississippi, as he gathered himself up,
''but thought it were ridgrnent comm
agin us, and jist sighted that short-legged
fellar thar, az d if you hain't come CUP 1 d
fetched him from where he sot, and he's
been a powerful heap of good to the Yanks.'
That man was one of the best shots in the
division, and never failed to kill his object
when deliberate aim was had. Gordon
turned to meet Sherid IN, and Buchanan
Reads hero has never known how near his
life came to going out with the rebellion.
Gen. Gordon is now United States Senator
from Georgia.

tells little story of one of the late Jim Fisk's
speculations, which is nos generally known.
Two years ago, before the management of
the opera house was settled, Fisk sent an
agent to Paris to Jules Simon, minister of
fine arts, proposing to lease the building. fin
ish it at his own expense, and open it with
splendid coterie of artists. Ie secured the
annual allowance of 100000 francs from the

This was the introduction. It renewed an

can that the Viennoise are as polite and
courteous as the Frenchmen. No one thinks
of entering store, an office, or place OF
business without taking off his hat, and keep
ing it of, as well as exchanging polite bow
on leaving. To keep the head covered is
deemed extremely rude and offensive. II a
stranger makes inquiry on the street, either
of a man or a boy, the greatest pains is not
only taken to give the right direction, but
they will even follow you to see that you
make no mistake, and when you stop to look
around in perplexity, you will generally find
the same kindly stranger at your elbow to
point the way again. Even on entering a

lar that such people, apparently so kind and
courteous, are so given to deception and
downright knavery in all their dealings. The
ladies OF our party, in their little shopping ex-
cursions, have invariably found an attempt to
increase charges from their first agreement,
under some plea of error or mistake. There

STOCK GAMBLING.
The people of Vienna seem to have very
general mania for dealing in all manner OF
fancy stocks, lottery tickets, policies, &C., and
the recent failures have affected all classes OF
people, and especially those of the middle
strata, who had their all invested. Small
stOrekeepers, seamstresses, actresses, and
those who had accumulated few hundred or
thousands of forins, had everything swept
away.
AT the Bourse, among the throngs of excit-
ed men, called curb-stone brokers, at least
thousand of whom surround the building ev-
cry morning, can always be seen large
numbers OF equally excited women, who tall
easy victims to the more experienced sex. IN
deed, we find everything in Austria SO contra
ry to our previously conceived notions OF Ger
man character that were it not for the IAN
guage, we might suppose ourselves among
population of vivacious and excitable French
men. Hundreds OF boys are always on hard
at the Bourse, who rapidly copy the bulletins
of prizes. and rush off through the Ringstrasse,
offering them for sale to every passer-by, and
nding more purchasers among the women
than tue men. The females are also the
principal purchasers of the lottery tickets, be-
ing easily deceived by the flaming announce
ments of fortunes gained by the investment
of a few florins. How contrary to the Ameri
can idea of the German character is all this!

the MUSTANG IMMINENT. They "can't do

fallibly reduces the external swellings,

the usefulness and value of the king of

horse flesh is liable, it is the most trust
