A misunderstanding MaIady

That insomnia, orinability to sleep, has be
come very prevalent of late years, is sum
GENTLY evidenced by the fact that number
less remedies have been introduced within
the last decade specially intended for It's
cure, and that now sedatives are continually
cropping up. But no medical agent has SC
widely and clearly established Its claims as
a genuine soporifc as Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. That it removes this braln-destroy-
ing inability far more effec'ually than the
bromides, chlorals and valerinates in use, Is
not to be wondered ut when We consider
that such drugs act only on the brain, which
Is not the source OF the evil, while the bltters
rectify the alimentary disturbances which
originate 1t. 1t is admitted by physicians
that dyspepsia and non-assimilation of the
food produce sleeeplessness. The bitters
overcome these obstacles to repose as well as
those urinary troubles which are also said
to interfere with it. A wine glassful or two
of this wholesome sedative invigorant ut
bed time rarely fails to induce tranquil re-
nose,

IF you should lay Scribncr foi

some one writing from Now York;
after looking over tho pictures, and
browsing through Clarence Cooks

Letters" and getting even with tho
serials, | should settle down TO the
reading OF James II. McKay's
"Birdsal Of Mapleton." | can tell
you, confdentially, that ! would
not be disappointed. That Mckay
has n wonderful way of making
people and events seem real. AS
in reading the best fctionists, like
George Eliot and Tourgenetf, you
cannot help putting yourself in the
place Of this or that character, and
every now and then you are startled
by an awakened memory. Mckay
is uneven in his stories, but at his
best he shows an insight into the
deepest things Of the heart, and a
dramatic power which are altogether
his own. Albert Rhodes descrip-
ton of "The Latin Quarter" gives,
should say, pretty good idea of
a certain phase of Partisan Bohe-
mianism. Colonel Warnings paper
on Dutch Farming appeals forcibly
to the agricultural districts, and
gives these districts-particularly
the dairy farms-some practical
suggestions of value. Mr.. A B.
johnson, secretary of the late Mr..
Sumner, tells some characteristic
anecdotes about the senator. AS
for Mr.. Cooks household paper,
with its tasteful and pretty illustra-
tions-this is one Of the most anus
ing and interesting papers in the
number. The suggestions as to
furnishing, ETC., are given very
modestly, and in q manner which
sets the reader TO thinking for him
self; and the way tho author over
hauls some Of his engravings will
be found exceedingly entertaining,
especially, l should suppose, to the
engravers themselves There is q
generous installment of "Seven-
oaks" and very small installment
oe "The Mysterious Island" which
the editors seem to be boiling down
to the very last point. This story
has been stopped by the English
magazine that was publishing it,
but in its condensed condition in
Scribner it seems to interest the
young people at least. Mr. Nun
gers article on "Maxims' presents
views on the subject which will be
new to many readers. The most
striking poetic feature of the num-
Der IS "The Power of Prayer" a
darkey dialect poem by Sidney and

HE GOES VIGOROUSLY FOR THE SEA Up OF GENERAL
SHERMAN.
| The st. Louis Times of Friday publishes
addressed to Col. w. f. Mellen, former Con-
ederate officer, touching certain matters in
Gen. Sherman's Memoirs -
MEMPHIS, Tenn, May 81, lST5-My Dear
| Sir: Please accept my thanks for your kind
letter of the 10Th instant, and the accompany
ing copy of St. Louis paper containing an
extract from the forthcoming work of Gen. W.
T. Sherman. My absence delayed the receipt
of your letter and this reply to it.
The malice that seeks to revive the nefari-
ously concocted and long since exploded SLAM
| der which connected my name with the assas-
siton Of President Lincoln is quite in charac-
| ter with the man who so conducted his nva-
sion of the South as to render fisherman S
| bummers' the synonym of pillage, arson,
cruelty TO the helpless and murder of nom
combatants, and who closed his career of arson
with false accusation against Gen. Hampton
in regard to the burning of Columbia s. c..
But the question arises why did Gen. Sher-
man at the date of his reported conversation
with Gen. j. +. Johnston suppose me capable
of completely in the assassination of President
Lincoln 2
General Sherman never was personally ac-
qualnteu Win me, ana from tnoSe VINO knew
me- either in the United States army or in
civil life, surely learned nothing to justify such
suspicion. In the conduct of the war between
! the States, despite Of many baseless aecusa-
tious, We can proudly point to a record which
shows strict adherence to the nsages of war
between civilized nations. On what, then, did
the suspicion of General Sherman rest2 Was
it not that, proceeding on the rule of judging
others by himself, he ascribed TO me the muir
derous aud malicious traits of his own nature
He reports conversation with President
Lincoln, from which is to be inferred desire
to have authority for departing from the course
which as soldier he must have known was
usua, and proper towards prisoners of war
Did he hope to get instructions for the slaugh-
ter of the Confederacy's President and cabinet
officers, as set forth in the orders of Col
Dahlgren. when he made his raid against
Richmond IF tbe good-natured, characters
.ic reply of President Lincoln taught him that
murder was not the measure, il seems TO have
failed to inspire him with the generosity and
charity which is ever found in noble minds
or with chivalry which ever adorns the char
acier of the true soldier and gentleman.
