How We Look.

The South, weekly journal Of New York
Orleans, Louisiana.
"A description will convince the most
sceptical Of its accuracy. From the top of
a high and picturesquely wooded hill the
spectator looks on plain seemingly sew
eral miles wide with single tree maths-
mactically planted in the centre. A collec-
ton of buildings which might represent
either the grain elevator or the Ursuline
convent, are apparently floating at the
bank of a remarkably circuitous river,
which is covered with square rigged YES
sells that grow larger as they recede. On
the left buildings are as numerous and
densely packed as they appear in photo
graph of London. Far above the innumera.
Bile spires that are as thick As pins in
well stocked cushion, towers high above
the surrounding buildings a magnificent
dome with a figure on top that may be the
goddess of Liberty Or-may not. Whether
this is intended to represent the Parish
Prison, enlarged to signify the terror it
afflicted the artist with, or his idea of the
Masonic Temple, when built, it is impossi-
BILE to determine. Perhaps the great alti-
tude Of the hill, back Of town, from which
he surveyed the city, may have affected his
nerves. In the background appear the
mountains of Algiers, a snow storm appar-
emily raging on the summit of one of them.
The editorial comments on this gem of
art are in 80 brief paragraph, and display
such keen appreciation Of its beauties, that
it would be cruel to separate them:
Our engraving is representation of the
city Of New Orleans, the famed Crescent
City Of the South, one of the most beautiful
cities in the world, and the scene of the
greatest possible alacrity. The broad bosom
Of the Mississippi is studded with sails,
from the big European steamer to the tiniest
craft. The people OF New Orleans are Of a
vivacious temperament as is manifested by
the galas once peculiar to their city. but
now spreading to other cities in the South.

Army Reports.
WASHINGTON, Nov. Q


GEN. SHERMAN.
Gen. Shermans annual report to the
Secretary of War shows the total number
of enlisted men in the army on Oct. Is to
have been 26, AL 1t estimates that this
number will probably be reduced
through natural causes by the 1si of Jan
uary, 1875, to the 25,000 allowed by law.
1t deprecates the inadequacy of 20 small
an army for the demands of so arge an
area of territory as it has to be scattered
over, involving : the necessity of
Withdrawing troops from one depart
ment to meet the requirements Of others
long distance away. 1t compliments
the high efficiency of Gen. Sheridan and
his subordinate officers in maintaining
comparative peace in the Indian country.
1t says the reports of the commanding
officers demonstrate that the small army
of the United States, called peace es-
tablishment, is the hardest-worked body
of men in this or any country. The dis
cipline and behavior of the officers and
men have been worthy of all praise and,
whether employed on the extreme and
distant frontier or in aiding civil officers
in the execution of civil processes, have
been model for the imitation of all good
men.
In regard to the removal of his head.
quarters to st. Louis he says: " | am
prepared to execute the duties that may
be devolved on me by proper authority.
Here am centrally located, and should
occasion arise can personally proceed
to any point on this continent where my
services are needed"
GEN. SHERIDAN.
Lieut.-Gen. Sheridan, in his annual
report, touches slightly upon Gen
Clusters Black Hills expedition, which
it pronounces successful recon
noissance. The country of the
Black Hills was found to be much
better than was expected, with plenty of
good timber and considerable good soil
at high attitudes, and an abundant sup.
ply of good water and grass Some
gold was found near Harney's Peak, but
of its abundance there is at present no
reliable information. Sufficient time
could not be given by an expedition such
as that of Gen. Clusters to prospect and
determine the quantity. Gen. Sheridan
again recommends the establishment of
large military post in the Black Hill
country.
OF the Indian troubles Gen. Sheridan
says: Il respectfully differ with Gen.

dian troubles, and attribute it to the
immunity with which the tribes have
been treated. In all their raids into
Texas for the past three years their res
ervations have furnished the supplies
with which to make the raids and
sheltered them from pursuit when
they returned with their scalps and
plumber No man of close observation,
it seems to me, can travel across the great
plains from Nebraska and Wyoming to
Texas, and see the established ranches
with their hundreds of thousands of head
of cattle, sheep and horses, together with
the families of the owners, and reasona-
bly, think that these people, so much ex-
posed and having such valuable inter-
ests, are desirous of provoking Indian
wars. There was a time, possibly, when
the population of the Indian frontier
may have been desirous of Indian troub-
les, but that has passed long ago"

A Very Notable Performance.


IT is instanced as perhaps the most
striking of the many proofs of the
enormous brain-power and capacity of
the Great Napoleon that he could die
tate upon different subjects to several
secretaries at the same time, or us fast as
each could write, and continue sucr die
tation for an indefinite time. The matter
is stated as fact in several of the lives
of Napoleon, and | have never seen il
questioned in print indeed, | believe
that something very similar is narrated
of one or two other celebrated char
acters. The faculty is truly marvellous
one and the ability to carry on two or
more manual operations at once, which
are not merely automatic or mechanical,
is only less wonderful. But what an
astonishing exhibition would it be to see
the same person perform simultaneously
two mental and two manual operations!
The nearest approach to this that occurs
to me is the case of the itinerant musi-
clan who many of us have seen perform
upon two or more instruments together,
but il is always the same tune that Is
played upon both. If a single instance
can be given of a performance by the
same person at the same time OF two
entirely different tunes upon two different
instruments, steadily and without lapse ol
break, | will readily, admit that the
exhibition would be quite as wonderful
| as was that which | am about to relate

A New Engine of Destruction.

A new she'll invented by or for the
Russians bears the strange title of
" Sczaroch," and is thus described in q
foreign Journal:
cit is well known that with the ordi-
nary elongated bolt ricochet fire cannot
be maintained and as this species of fir
ing is very effective against masses of
troops the loss is matter of considera-
BILE moment. The sezsHeol, for such is
the name of the new projactile, is u per-
cussion time shell and shot, the latter
of which ricochets beyond the point of
explosion of the bursting charge. The
she'll portion is a simple iron cylinder, to
one end of which is secured, by a thin
sheet of lead spherical shot, On leav-
ing the gun the combined projectile acts
like an ordinary elongated shell; but as
soon as the explosion of the charge takes
place the cylinder of course flies in
pieces, while the shot, impelled by the
additional velocity and by reason of its
form, ricochets for hundreds of feet
ahead. In firing ut batteries the double
effect of this projectile comes into eX-
cellent use, as the shell might be ex-
! ploded among the guns, while the ball
would strike far in the rear among the
reserve troops; or while the shen might
burst in the front rank of an advancing
column the ball would continue plow.
ing its way through several succeeding
! ranks,
