HOW MRS. GEN. SHERMAN SAVED
HEB HUSBAND.
Washington Correspondence Of the Louisville
COurier-Jenrnal.


COurier-JoUrnals
have case in point as to the manner
in which he was frequently imposed upon.
Of course the citizens Of Louisville reeol-
leet that when Sherman was in command
Of that department, be was accused Of in
sanity. He could not receive any answer
from Gen. Mcclellan TO his dis
patches. Mrs. Sherman came to Wash
ington and called upon the President.
She stated that for more than twelve
years, she had been General Sheman's
wife, and, if any one was capable Of judg-
ing as to the soundneSs of his mind, i
would be herself. She declared that there
had never been the slightest indication OF
insanity, though they might drive him to
II; that, if he were insane, she would be
the first TO withdraw him from the public
gaze, but, so far from desiring that, she
asked that he might be intrusted with any
thing that was difficult, or that was becom-
ing his rank. Mr.. Lincolns reply to
this was that "General Sherman's dis
patches were not those Of a sane man.
Mrs. Sherman was astounded. After leay-
ing the President, she went 10 the War De
partment, and requested copy Of her hus-
bands dispatches. After obtaining these,
she again called upon the President. When
Mr. Lincoln read those papers, he said thai
they were not ct ali what they had been
represented to him. This was the kind Of
work that was being done IN the War De-
partment, where we needed every good Of
fieer, and by TIE light Of to-day we can see
how few there were as valuable as Sherman:
and yet the country would have lost his
eprvicaS IL his wifi had not hearl The bravo.
determined woman that she is. Mr.. Chase
took bold stand at that time in saving
Sherman, and 1 heani Gen. Sherman, 81
his daughters wedding, say the most grace
full and felieitous things to Mrs. Spragut
personally, and in allusiOn to her father
knowing that kind recOilectiOns Of hin
would be the sweetest theme for his daugh-
ter's ears.

JUTAU.
The Matinee Al the Exposition To-day.

The Matinee n the Exposition To-day.
This afternoon, big folks and little folks
will have an opportunity of witnessing
Miss Emma Jutau peOform the feat OF
walking on the ceiling. This she does by
means Of a contrivance similar to that with
which nature furnishes the common
house-fy. There is no magic or de-
ception in the matter. The feat is ac-
tually accomplished. The principle applied
is that of suction" in common parlance,
or more properly the pressure Of the air. 1t
affords visible proof that the air presses
equally in all directions, upward as well
as downward and sidewise. At the level
of the sea, this pressure amounts to four
teen pounds fer each square inch. At the
altitude of Nashville it is something like
thirteen pounds, so that Miss Jutau's ''suck-
er shoes" must cover an area of ten square
inches to barely sustain her, supposing her
weight to be $50 pounds. OF course she
allows herself a good margin. She will
also perform upon the flying trapeze, and a
medley of entertainments is ON the pro-
CRANE, which will prolOng the matinee
about two hours. The doors Ofthe Exposition
building will be open at halfpast l o'clock,
ana the performance Will begin punctually
at two. MAJ. Gunkel has been induced to
give this exhibition by the general desire
to see the ceiling walker. The price of
admission is exceedingly moderate, %
cents for adults, and 10 cents for children.
Everything indicates a large attendance,
and those DESTROYS of choice seats will do
well to be on hand early.

THE sEwING MACHINE RAID.
New York Graphic.


Among the raids which are to be made
when the next Congress meets is that of the
sewing machine monopolists, who will en-
deavor 10 secure further extension of their
patents. This matter will be closely
watched by the people. The sewing ma
chine companies have already resped the
benefit of long extension of their monop-
ly. They have thus been enabled to sell
their machines at price at least a hun
dred per cent. above that at which the ma
chimes could be profitably manufactured
and sold. This enormous profit has been
drawn directly from the poorer classes of
the community sewing women and
the tailor's workmen. 1t is time that the
public had the benefit of the sewing ma
chine, and the effort to obtain Especial law
of Congress to proloDg a monopoly that
has already lasted too long, cannot succeed
without creating the strongest suspicious of
the honesty of Congressman who may vote
for it. We may be sure that investigations
will be the order of the day in ire new
House Of Representatives, and men who
give their votes TO the sewing machine mo-
nopolists will be compelled to fully explain
the motives which have influenced them.

at that point Of the Nashville, Chattanooga

cited over the efforts each was making to
secure for his road the transportation of

= NEW AMERICAN AcTREss.


When bright star sets in the West, we
sometimes see another splendor rising in
the East. We should be glad, indeed, if,
as Miss Cushman retires from the stage she
has so long adorned, another American
artist should emulate her success, in the
person of Miss Kate Field, who is to make
her first appearance at Booths Theatre on
Saturday night. If intelligence alone
could make an actress there would not be
the slightest question of Miss FIELDS CON-
plete success, and, certainly, intellect
is always wanted on the stage. In lit
erature, she has shown rare pOwers-knowl-
edge of the world, fine descriptive ability,
delicate and far-Teaehing humor, ap-
probation Of the characteristic, and more
than usual versatility. These qualities are
as valuable on the stage as IN literature,
and their possession auguTs favorably for
Miss Fields future as an actress. Miss
Cushman, in her late farewell address to
the public, made the notable remark that
it was necessity that compelled her 10 go
upon the stage. OF this compulsion Miss
Field IS iguOTdnt. as a successful author
she has no reason for acting, excepting a
sincere love for the dramatic profession.
his fact illustrates tae growing import
aace Of the drsmatic ant. II is HO longer,
as il was when Miss CushmIn FIST p.a, ed,
a refuge for women Of iateIieci, bat a tenn
pie in which they find it an h0aor AID a
privilege to ofiiciate.
If Miss Kate Field, who IL successful in
literature, becomes celebrated in the drama
it will doubtless be in i very different
sphere from that which Charlotte Cushman
has so long occupied. Judging from the
literary productions of the new candidate
for theatrical horrors, we should say that
comedy would be her choice. She has Sc
lected Peg Wellington as the character in
which her debut will be made, and we an
ticipate that this performance viii be a
brilliant success. Miss Field will not re-
place Miss Cushman, but she may make a
new place for herself upon the American
stage, and undoubtedly this first effort, in a
beautiful but decidedly difficult part, will
have the warm support of the intelligent
public of the metropolis, and especially of
those who have read and admired the many
brilliant creations Of her experienced pen.

their spportionment of the interest on

THERE was curious instance of broth
erlv love at the recent conference Of Bap-
tist ministers in New York. The Rev. j.
ID. Fulton took occasion to say that while
he was visiting Mr.. Spurgeon, the latter
gentleman had ale and wines upon his
fable, for which he rebuked him in pri-
vate, and afterwards in public by
publishing his shortcomings. In
stead of receiving encomiums for his
devotion to principle, the Rev. John Love
arose and said that a man who would
accept another's Inequalities, and then
publicly proclaim the habits of his hosts
daily life, was, to say the least, not a gen.
tleman. To this the Rev. DR.. Miller re-
piled with a vigorous "Amen." The Rev.
Spencer Kennard then arose and read a
letter which the Rev. Fulton had written
TO Cincinnati paper, aud pronounced its
statements falsehOOds and defamatiOns.
DIR. Patton, the editor Of the Baptist Week
", capped the climax by publicly proclaim
ing the Rev. Fulton liar,

THE WAY MILL WOULD HAVE
MADE THE WORLD.
SATURDAY. Review

Mr.. Mill, we gather, would have begun
by relieving man from the necessity of ex-
erting himself in this way. The world
would have been provided at the outset
with bridges, embankments, breakwaters,
lightning conductors, and. we suppose also,
electric telegraphs, railways, steamboats,
and lucifer matches. 1t is known that Mr..
Mill was learning Greek at three years old,
but if he had only been his own creator he
would have taken care that little boys
should be born with a ready-made
knowledge Of Greek and everything else;
or. rather, that there should be no little
bows at all, but that men should come forth
at once, full grown and fully endowed.
