General sherman Speaks Out.

An interview with General Sher-
man is important to the people.
OF General Beauregard. who recent
ly attacked him. he speaks ip word 5
of strong personal praise. Gener-l
al Sherman claims that he himself
employed rebel prisoners to re-
move torpedoes placed in the route
of the Federal army, because those
prisoners would know better than
his own soldiers were the explosive
missiles were placed. Lord Yelling
ton employed prisoners for that pur-
pose in Spain. The rebel prisoners
removed the torpedoes without loss
OF life.
Concerning his S Memoirs the
General says that he is correcting
them as fast as criticisms are publish
ed. and announces that his object in
writing was to show that political
manpuvres sometimes destroyed the
efficiency of his army.
Speaking of the Southern gener-
ais, Sherman highly commends them.
going so far as to acknowledge that
he has recently recommended BraN-
ton Bragg for a position in the
army of the khedive. lie can re-
commend anybody but jeff Davis.
who must remain somewhat an
necessarily as an object of hate to
the Northern people. He says the
Southerners fight like lively French
men, and the Northerners like stub
born Englishmen. and he infers that
united they would fight like the
devil.
Most important of all is Genera
Sherman unequivocal declaration
that he would refuse nomination
for the Presidency@ Military mer
are not fitted to rule in civil govern
ment, and so he thinks he would no
make a good President. While
praising Blaine and Hayes. he con
fesses his love for Morton.--Reo

Population of Peru.

The first census of Peru since it
ceased to be a Spanish colony. has Just
been taken. 1t was the proposal Of the
president, Don Manuel Pardo. and its de-
tails will be scanned with much regard by
all who take an interest 10 the welfare of
the aboriginal races Of mankind. as well
as by not few British capitalists whose
money was allured out Of their pockets
for investment in Peruvian bonds, rail.
ways, mines and steamship companies.
Tho total of the population according to
this new number of people amounts to
2,720,735, q lamentable and awful fall.
ing of, which is accounted for by earth.
quakes, disease, civil war and brandy.
Where the former agents Of destruction
have killed their thousands, the latter has
killed its tens of thousands. lu addition
to the importation Of hundreds of thou.
sands Of bottles of spurious spirits. the
Peruvians make their aguadiente, q liquor
stronger than whisky, which is sold in
enormous quantities and at a great profit.
The probable consequence Of this increase
in the national drunkenness will be the
displacement Of the present race of Peru.

Eccentricities of the Buffalo.

The winter Of lS7l.72 was unusually
severe in Arkansas. The ponds and the
smaller streams to the north were frozen
solid, and the buffalo were forced to the
river for water, The Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe railroad was then in pro.
cess OF construction. and nowhere could
the peculiarities Of the buffalo be better
studied than from its trains If a herd
was on the north side of the track it
would stand stupidly gazing, and without
symptom OF alarm, though the locomotive
passed within one hundred yards. II on
the south side OF the track even though
at distance of one or two miles from it,
the passage Of train set the whole herd
in the widest commotion. AT its full
speed and utterly regardless of conse-
quences, it would make for the track on
its line of retreat. Ifthe train happened
not to be in its path it crossed the track
and stopped, satisfied. lf the train was
in the way, each individual buffalo went
at it with the desperation Of despair,
plunging against or between locomotive
and car, just as the blind madnes,
ohanced to take them. Numbers were
killed, but numbers still pressed on ts
stop and stare as soon as the obstacle wal
passed, After having trains ditchet
twice in one week. conductors learned t
have very decided respect for the lido
syncracies of the buffalo, and when ther,
was possibility of striking a herd "ol
the rampage" for the north side of tn
track, the train was slowed up, and some
times stopped entirely.

A Modern Invention Known to
an Ancient Roman,

In a "Book Of Curiosities" we read :
There was an srtifcer in Rome who
made vessels Of glass Of so tenacious a
temper that they were as little liable to
be broken as those that are made Of gold
and silver. When, therefor, he had
made vial Of the purer sort, and such
as he thought present worthy Of Cesar
alone, he was admitted into the presence
