Military Writers.

Cad writes as follows to the
Graphic: "Hherman has both friends
and admirers in large numbers. he
has also enemies, who say he is selfish,
rapaclous, envlous, and tyrannlcal.
Business men are divided in opinion.
On the whole, there is not q universal
belief in his infalhbility. and if we were
to have another war, with General Sher-
man at the head of affairs, he would be
very narrowly watched. But he is a
good type of an outspoken, if
peculiar, American, and his book
is so perspicuous and its opinions
SO little qualified that, coming from
such a source, it will be leading pro-
duction of the war. Gen. Scott pub
lished an autobiography during the civil
war, In which he settled some old
scores, but kept shy of living critics.
General Wilkinson, who commanded
the army in the time of Jefferson and
Madison. wrote three huge volumes,
with a military atlas appended, where
he called great number of fellow
officers thieves, scoundrels, imbeciles.
Among them Horatio Gates, Winfield
Scott, the father of Mrs. Gains, Gen
eral Armstrong, Presidents Monroe
and Madison, Charles Lee, and
John Randolph. Wilkinson, how.
ever, wrote his book in retaliation for
being mustered out of the service. Very
few of the living officers can write as
we'll as Sherman. Those who can have
had no such experience to be recorded.
General Hazen, is perhaps, the best
writer in the army. Custer has made
a very agreeable snd inoffensive book.

employ Dom Piatt TO tell his story in a

The Bird of Freedom VaAquished.

A gentleman of this town gives an in
teresting account of recent attempt by
an eagle to carry off cat. which occur
red at farm on the bay shore of
Kent county, Maryland. A young
medinm-sized cat was treading leisure
~ along potato patch, when a large
full grown eagle swooped down, and
catching her in its talons, bore her up.
Pussy wriggled and mewed piteously
for some moments, but suddenly seem
ing imbued with courage she began a
determined effort to obtain a hold on
her oppressos. So great were her strug-
giles that the eagle was unable to fy
longer, and kept up a continuous flap
ping with its wing to keep aloft. After
much e2ertion the cat succeeded in it's
object, and obtained firm grasp with
her claws on the breast of the eagle,
which made every possibly endeavor to
free itself in vain. It tapped its wings.
shook its body, and appeared to heart
lily regret having meddled with pussy
in her peaceful ways. Finally, as if in
despair and exhaustion, it spread it's
broad wings and fell slowly to the bay,
over which the struggle had been going
on. Immediately upon touching the
water the cat loosed her hold and swan
boldly ashore, while the eagle, upon be-
ing freed of its troublesome burden,
shot upward and sped rapidly away

CAPTAIN Eads' Great Work.

The st. Louis Republican describes
the details of Captain Eads' w6rk at
the mouth of the Mississippi as follows:
The first thing is to cut twigs. They
are then bound into bundles called in
engineering parlance ''fascines." These
fascines are, say eight or ten feet in
length, and sis many inches in diameter,
though of course their size is varied at
the convenience of the workmen and
according to the requirements of the
work. Having been cut and properly
secured the fascines are put together in
the f, rm OF raft like timber-logs,
towed to the required spot, and then
loaded with stones until they sink to
the bottom, This process is repeated
with successive RATS until a continuous
foundation is laid the entire length of
the proposed line of jetties. The first
or foundation RATS will be from rs to
260 feet in width, according to the depth
of water where they are sunk, the
deepest water requiring the widest RATS
AS soon as the foundation is completed
in this manner, another line of willow
RATS is sunk on top of those already
down, and so on until the surface of the
water is reached, each line of RATS be-
ing narrower than the one below it, un-
til the topmost line will not be more
than ten feet across. By this means a
channel is created with sloping sides.
The water gradually fills up the inter
stices between the twigs with sand and
sediment, and in the course of few
years the structure becomesa solid wall,
being in fact submarine levee. Tt will
readily be seen that an almost incalcula-
BILE quantity of willow twigs will be re-
CURED to construct these two long lines
of ietties the whole length of the South
Pass, and the work of cutting and pre-
pairing them will furnish employment to
great many men.

No more shall reveille disturb your ear
Your dress parade, your weary march is DER,

Cold hills of earth our treasurers safely

For soon grim death shall claim no longer

And shed the lustre of the hard-won crown
Ger those who lay the scented lilies down.
Then come all ye, who filed with silent

An Indianapoli:au Finds AWAY to Utilize
Coal Tar and Crude Oils for Heating
Furnaces.
The Indianapolis Sentinel has the fol-
lowing: Much has been said and writ
ten about the great moter recently
brought to light in the East, but Indi-
annapolis can claim for one of her
citizens the honor of inventing and per
fecting that which will undoubtedly
revolutionize the system of heating
furnaces. For more than year past
Mr.. Henry Stacy has been endeavoring
to perfect plans by which coal tar,
crude oil, ETC., could be practically
utilized for the purpose of making heat
enough to meltiron (of all descriptions,
brass, generate steam, etc. 1t has been
known by many that the gas company
for some time past has been
very strict in enforcing the notices
that are conspiculously posted up all
around their works, "No admittance,
call at the office" Now that the pat
ent has been granted Oh the furnace
heater, it has come to light that the gas
company have had these heaters on
their furnaces for nearly six months,
and so we'll have they done the work
that during this time the company have
saved daily on ten furnaces, 600 bushels
of coke, and in making this saving has
consumed portion of coal tar that
would otherwise have run into Pogue's
run. One of these heaters was placed
on a furnace at the Mallaeble Iron
Works last week, where it required
eight days and nights to anneal the iron
with coal, but the heater did the work
better in six days and nights, consum-
ing two and half barrels of tar, costing
81. so per barrel. Mr. Stacy thinks he
can run locomotive a distance
of 100 miles without a fireman,
at cost of but SO cents.
Arrangements have been made, already,
for the speedy introduction of this
great invention, and as the men inter
ested have means and ability, there
seems to be no reason why it will not
be adopted by ali those needing furnace
heaters at saving of about ninety per
centum over wood or coal, The cost of
the heater is not to exceed two dollars
for each furnace, and it is SO simple in
it's construction that a child can easily
understand its operation. The tar, oil,
etc, passes from the barrel, tank, or
reservoir through q small pipe, and is
deposited In front of steam and cold
air injector that forces it into the fur
mace in the form of spray, making
perfect mass of fame, but no smoke
nor sparks.

that as future payments would crowd

skeleton as well and dispose:.of it to one
