GEN SHERMAN's NEW BooK.-The new book
If an. Shermsn's or in other words The
Mennoirs of Ger. w. T. Sherman by Himself,
cannot fail 10 he the most attractive book of
the season. We have only seen extracts from
the work thus far, but they are sufficient to
base an opin ion on, if anything is required in
addition to the name of that brilliant leader
One Of the good stories of the work illustrates
the lax notions of discipline that prevailed aft
er the first Bull Run. An officer in Sherman's
brigade cooly told the latter he was going
home, as his tenn of service bad expired, al
though he had not been mustered out. "Old
Tecumseh' replied that if he undertook to
leave, he, Sherman, would "shoot him on the
spot" Sherman has a way of looking as
though he "meant business" and the officer
did not start, but the same day Mr.. Lincoln
visited the brigade. The rest of the story we
give ia Sherman's words:
In the crowd saw the officer with whom
had had the passage at reveille that morning:
His face was pale, and his lips compressed
1oresaw a scene, but sat on the front seat OF the
carriage as quiet as lamb. This officer forced
his way through the crowd TO the carriage, anu
said: "Mr. President, have a cause of grey
ance. This morning | went to speak to Col:
SHERMAN, and he threatened to shoot me.
MIR. Lincoln, who was still standing, SAID,
Threatened to shoot your "Yes, Sir, he threat
.ned to shoot me-" MIR. Lincoln looked at him
and then at me, and STOPPING his tall, spare
form toward the officer, saId to him in loud
stage whisper, easily heard for some yards
around: swell, if l were you, and he threaten
ed to shoot me- would not trust him, for be-
lieve he would do it, The officer turned about
and disappeared, aud the men laughed at him.
Soon the carriage drove on, and, as we descend
ed the hill, explained the facts TO the Presi-
dent, who answered, "Of course l didn't know
anything about it, but thought you knew
your own business best" L thanked him for
his confidence, and assured him that what he
had done would euable. me to maintain good
d scpline, and it did.

SOCIAL Silence CONVENTION.

lulereStIH& DlbcussfOn OH Flmaucc
DETROIT. Mich, May 13.-In the Social
Science Convention, after Bradford's essay had
been read, debate followed, in the course of
which Prof. Adams of Ann Harbor said that
the reason the premium on gold IN England at
the time mentioned by Bradford was 80 per
cent. while in America it was once 290 per
cent was that the United States were then en-
gagged in civil war, and that its result was
doubtful and because more paper was issued
by the United States in proportion to her re-
sources than by England. 5-
Prof. Allen also affirmed that.the worst plan
we'll stuck to was better than the best plan
changed often. -.
Sydney Myners of Chicago discussed the
question at length. He objected to the broad
statement that there had been no progress in
monetary systems since the invention of bills of
exchange. and cited numerous Instances OF fl
nancial advantages of late origin. He believed
in gold basis convertible currency. and the
time would come when gold would be the STAN
dard test throughout the world. He did not be-
lieve in the incovertible humbug of Wendell
Phillips nor in Judge Kelly's 3 65 plan.
Ocean Travel.
A report on the subject of ocean steamship
lines was read, in which the advantages of
fixed lines of travel across the ocean was set
forth Prof IPeirce began the debate on the
subject. a4fs
Judge Henry B. Brown of the District Court
of East Michigan being requested to give ju-
dcial opinion, said that the adoption of an
ocean line was undoubtedly the only possible
preventive of collisions. The law requires that
all vessels carry red and green lights on the
port and larboard sides respectively, and if
good seamen are employed, there will be less
danger. The law also requires that in fog ves'
sells must Iun at moderate speed, but this is not
generally regarded for if it is time is lost, the
mails are delayed and passengers become dis
contented. The only thing Congress can do is
to provide if possible for protection in fog.
Dorman B. Eaton SAID we must first educate
the people to see that quick passage is not the
most important thing 10 a vessel. The owners
are merely the index of the spirit of the times,
and will if the public demand it build ships a
hundred feet long and ten wide, that shall run
with railroad speed. H '-'.--

FROM THE COAL REGION,
Union Men Inciiinx Outrages.

OscEoLA, May 13.-John Siney, President of
the Miners and L. B. Association, while ad.
dressing large meeting of excited miners at
this place to-day, said that if Capt. j. E. Clark
of the police force recei ved any injury the min
ers would not be TO blame. 1t would be the
fault of the persons who sent him here. He
also said there were times when persons were
justified in violating that law; that it was rob
berry, and the persons who came here now seek
ing to take the places of those out on strike
were robbing the women and children of their
bread and should be treated accordingly. Siney
then sent this infurated crowd up to Powelton,
some three miles south of this place, to drag
the men from their work as they did at Fish
er's and Miller's works yesterday. 1t is thel
universal Lelief there among the disinterestsd
citizens that if there is blood is shed the blame
will rest with Siney and Parks, who are under
pay of the national organization, and who 1T is
believed are being paid by shippers in other re-
gions that are now working to keep this strike
up. Siney and Parks are both foreigners and
have made some very heavy threats against ma
tive born miners and the shippers, who are all
native born.

Crop Reports.

TOLEDO, May 13.-The Blade publishes an
eabo ate crop report carefully compiled from
staten rents by competent parties at $50 points
in Ohio, indiana, Illinois, Mississippi and
Iowa. These statements Indicate that one
quarter to one-third of the crops of the winter
wheat has been killed, but that has been nearly
offset by the increased number of acres sowed,
and the quantity of spring wheat will, ii every
thing is favorable henceforth, bring the whole
production up to that of an average crop.
About one-quarter of last years crops still re-
mains in the hands of the farmers. No consid-
cradle quantity of wheat ground is reported as
having been plowed. The amount of corn be-
ing pat in this year greatly exceeds last year.
