A PERILoUs ADVENTURE. - On
Friday last m incident occurred
on the Cliff House beach which
resulted in the loss of valuable
horse, and almos. in the loss Of
human life. A few days previous,
Mr.. Edwards, druggist on Jackson
and Kearny streets, purchased a
horse, which he placed in the
hands of trainer. On Friday the
horse attached TO buggy contain
ing the trainer, another man and a
lad was driven through the park
on to the beach. The novelty Of
the roaring surf so frightened the
horse that he dashed at once into
the breakers Needless of the tight
ensd rein, and drawing the buggy
and its human freight with him.
The trainer, perceiving that the
horse was unmanageable, seized
the lad. and bidding the other man
swim ashore, sprang out and with
much difficulty succeeded in reach
ing the beach, where he had been
preceded by his older companion.
The horse and buggy were not
seen afterwards, and the trio, after
disrobing and drying their clothes
on the beach, sought the city,
deeply impressed with their for
tunate escape from death.-lS. I.

A SECRET OF THE WAR OFFICE

A SECRET OF THE WAR OFFICE
l have a case in point as to the man
ncr in which Lincoln was frequently
imposed upon. OF course the citizens
of Louisville recollcct that, when
Sherman was in command of that de-
partment, he was accused of insanity.
He could not receive any answers
from Gen. Mcclellan to his dispatch
es. Mrs. Sherman came to Washing
ton and called upon the President.
She stated that for more than twelve
years she had been Gen. Sherman's
wife, and, if any one was capable of
judging as to the soundness of his
mind, ii would be herself. She de
clared that there had never been the
slightest indication of insanity though
they might drive him to it; that, if
he was 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 entrusted
to anything that was difficult, or that
was becoming his rank. Mr.. Lincoln's
reply to this was that "Gen. Sher-
mans dispatches were not those of a
sane man." Mrs. Sherman was as
tonished. After leaving the President,
she went to the War Department, and
requested copy of her husbands
dispatches. After obtaining these,
she again called upon the President;
when Mr.. Lincoln read tn 5 papers,
he said they were not at all what they
had been represented to him. This
was the kind of work that was being
done in the War Department, where
We needed every good officer; and,
by the light of to-day we can see how
few there were as valuable as Sher-
man; and vet the country would have
lost his services if his wife had not
been the brave determined woman
that she is. Mr.. Chase took bold
stand at that time in saving sherman,
and hearl Gen. Sherman, at his
daughters wedding, say the most
graceful and felicitous things to Mrs.
Sprague personally, and in allusion
to her father, knowing that kind
recollcctions of him would be the
sweetest theme for his daughters
ears.

A MARVEL.

The window up at the house
looks out upon marvel. True.
tbs only little tree; and not
fruit tree at that, for it never bears
anything but leaves and blossoms
and beauty. 1t has been dressing
itself up of late. and now stands
all feathered with green and tassel-
ed with red, and looking as bravely
as maiden in full rig, and -
somebody coming up the street.
Yet, it's a marvel; and there, in
open daylight. and in view of
everybody, Nature has been engag-
ed in Transformation scene, with
no music bnt that of the mountain
winds and no one looking on save
the sun By day aud the moon and
stars BY night. And yet, from
naked brownness to plumy green
has the transformation been. and
periumed censers are hung and
swing from every branch. A little
while ago it was fret.ed with the
frosts. and in the morning tipped
with jewels which exhaled as the
sun looked through them. Yet,
every morning. ere anybody was
about, the san hung in those liquid
drops of light, the very tints in
emerald and red reproduced to-day
by blossom and leaf.
But mighty finger was on the
pulse of that little tree then. and
that was why il stood so brown
and bare. When that finger was
lifted tha. pulse throbbed with
new life. and the russet wrappings
could no longer hold their wealth.
and leaf and blossoms unfolied
amid the breatbings of the breeze
and the kisses of the suubeams.
How silently ana like childen We
sit amil the mysteries of Nature,
ami how vainly we search for that
unspeakable worl which. while
never on mortal lips. called chaos
into shape and awakens life through
all the world. So we can only sit
and marvel at that little tree. and
wonder what force raised the
levers. thrilled through its little
stem, and fashioned its leaves after
such delicate pattern, and tinted
its buds, and poured such fragrance
in each rlddy cup-but, above all,
at the doings of that underground
laboratory. at the power of selec-
ton in those minute spongioles
which draw balm and beauty from
the black mold around, at. the
force which sends it up and along
both body and branches, and
changes it to cell and tissue, and
sets the glowing red in fringes of
green, and absorbs aud reflects the
light in such exquisite contrast
that power which poises the turn
ing world, yet carves the blade of
grass. the delicate flower or the
forest leaf, and from the springs of
life sends the quickened tide
through Natures veins Terri
