GREETING SHERMAN.
The Veteran and his staff out of Kid
Gloves.
Omaha Herald.


General w. r. Sherman passed
through this city on his way to the
east yesterday afternoon, accompanied
by Generals Poe and Bacon, Of his staff.
lie was met at the depot on his arrival
IN the Y. z. train, by Adjutant General
Williams, and most Of the army officers
quartered at this point Mrs General
Hawkins, Mrs. General King, and other
ladies, Mayor Wilbur, and many citizens
also greeted him.
The general and the members of his
staff bore upon their persons the marks
of hard work on the plains, and were in
no danger Of being mistaken for " kid
gioved soldiers" Their uniforms were
on the whole hardly in condition for
dress parade, and one of the staff had on
his shoulder, in place ofshoulder straps,
a nice opening, which would serve to
keep up ventilation. General Sher-
mans toilette included that unpreten-
tious checked shirt, and he might read
lily have been taken for a track boss
The train remained at the depot for
some time, and the hearty reception
which the general was given by all
classes of our citizens was Il good indica-
ton OF the estimate in which he is held
here, among those who have had the
best opportunity of knowing him and
Judging of his military operations in
connection with the Indian troubles.
There is no doubt that he has the best
executive ability of any military man in
this country.
The general occupied the forward di-
vision Of handsome Pullman, and
was evidently receiving from the u p.
company the attention due to his rank
and reputation, although it is question
able if he felt really as much at home
as when roughing it y with the army
on the plains. When the first rush was
over, the general received his visitors in
side the Pullman.
The party left for Washington last
evening, going by way of the Southern
route and ST. Louis. Mrs. General
Hawkins, going east on a visit, became
one of the party from this point

4 Marriage in the May Family.

The first public temperance of the
May family since the celebrated May
Bennett duel fiasco, occurred here last
evening. Miss Rosaile May, daughter
of the late Hon. Henry May, of Balti-
more, and niece Of Dir. Frederick May
of New York, father Of the duelist, was
united IN matrimony to John S. Cuttings
Jr., grandson of the millionaire banker
whose name he bears. Probably on
account of the unpleasant notoriety at
tached to the May family, the wedding
was comparatively a private one, but
proved nevertheless a leading society
event for both New York and Baltimore
The ceremony was performe by Arch
bishop Gibbons, assisted by Mgr Chat;
taud, president of the American col
lege at Rome, and Rev. Dir. John Foley
brother of the bishop of Chicago, and
took place at the residence of the brides
mother, on Mount Vernon place. This
was the first official act of Archbishop
Gibbons, he having arrived in the city
only the night before The bride, a
beautiful blonde, wore superb toilet Of
white satin and lace. her ornaments
being pearls and diamonds. Among
those present were w. w. Corcoran, Of
Washington; Herman O. Elricks, DR.
Frederick May, and Fred. May, Jr
Benefits late antagonist, and many
others from New York, Washington
and the cream Of society here

Jewels are gone! Can you ever, ever
forgive me? Will you allow me to
work for you, like a servant, until /

And Meta sank on her knees at the
old lady's feet, with streaming eyes, and
voice choked by sobs.
Mrs. Darkedale put out her hand and
stroked the girls hair kindly
My DEAR" said she, "don't fret.
There's not SO much harm done after
all. There would have been if the
jewels had been in their case, but they
were not"
Not in their case?'
No" said Mrs. Darkedale. Il took
them out, wishing to show them to a
friend of mine, a jeweler, who proposed
to reset them. | left the case because
it was too cumbersome to carry They
are now being reset"
Meta drew a long breath of relief.
Miss Fenley had been cheated of hel
booty, after all, then, and had disap-
peared with only an empty case
But | was Just as much to blame as
if they had been in the casket," she ut
tered, sadly.
Why, yes" said Mrs Darkedale
only your loss has not been quite SC
expensive a one, and my jewels are
safe. Now, Meta, lay this to heart, anc
don't let us ever speak of it again
And at the end Of the year, wher
Meta Gray married the young hero o.
the coffee and sugar trade, Mrs. Darke
dale marked her estimation Of Meta's
character by giving her, as a. wedding
present, part of the jewals.
For she is q good girl" said Mrs
Darkedale.. and she has chosen wei

A Domestic Trouble.

A careless man at South Hill threw q
mug of hot shaving water out Of a
second7story window in a reckless man
ner. Instantly the pale air was streaked
with shrieks, and, looking out, he saw
he had emptied the treacherous element
ON the head of his wife, who was dig
ging in the geranium bed with pine
stick. lie leaned out Of the window to
laugh in hollow accents, when the sash
fell with frightful velocity, shutting off
his wind. His wife, dismayed at her
unexpected shower bath, and appalled,
at her husbands situation, turned to
run into the house to release him, and
IN her haste ran against the baby's cab,
upsetting it, and hurtng the baby upon
a cactus plant. The domestic upstairs,
hearing the shrieks in the front yard.
and doubling not that the baby had
been devoured by a tramp, sprang down
stairs to the rescue with such ala GRITTY
that she only touched two steps-the
first and the last one-touching the first
with her feet, and the last with her head.
A nelghbor, running to the general res
cue, stepped on broken plank in the
sidewalk, and fell a distance of one
hundred anu one 1eet, Spralnlng his
ankle SO badly that he won't walk for
three weeks. By this time, the man,
with violent effort, which scalped the
entire back portion Of his head, got out
Of the window, having previously drop
ped his razor, which fell on the edge of
a flower-pot and nicked itself worse
than coach-horse, aud comparative
order was soon restored. But the man
says he will never again tempt the
anger OF the immortal gods by shaving
himself.

A SAD MIsTAKE.-One of the youn

A SAD MISTAKE of the young

ENTIRE success is claimed for the en-
terprise Of subterranean telegraphy in
Germany. The wires between Berlin
and Halle have been in use for twelve
months, and their conducting power has
increased, no fault having yet been de-
tected in the insulation. The line is
formed by cable of seven thin copper
wires twisted together SO as to be a
a single conductor; they are cased in in
dia-rubber and laid in trench which is
dug and afterwards filled in by steam
excavation The trench dug by this MAJ
chine is uniform; it is one meter deep
and half a meter wide. The work in
ordinary soil is said to go forward with
great expedition, and underground
wires will soon be laid between all the
chief cities. Germany has much the
start ofus in this most necessary inn
provement So long as we trust to tel
egraph poles we must expect to have
half the wires down in such storm as
that of Thursday night; and at all times
must expect that mob, a fire Or a rail
way accident may interrupt our tele-
graphic communication just at the time
and place where it is most needed.

CircaSSian Wolves.

At Wildin was treated to my first
sight of the now widely-celebrated Cir
cassian cavalry, several bodies having
joined the camp only a few days pre-
viously. They ares mostly tall and
broad-shouldered, with fierce express
sion in their eyes, giving them more the
appearance of savages than civilized
men. Their dress is long, course frock
girdled at the waist, land fur caps. They
are to be used, suppose, as skirmish-
ers, or what we call in America bush
whackers," and woe to the defensless
villages upon which these Circassians
descend. They are border-warfarers of
the most blood-thirsty kind, and before
them the Bashi-Bazouks are dainty
gentlemen. They are not yet aroused
to great enthusiasm, but when the red
fires Of war are fairly kindled along the
Danube, and the clash of arms begins
to horrify the now peaceful atmosphere
then beware of the Circassian wolves,
whom the taste of blood is said to render
frantic And, if the true story of the
conflict is ever told. nothing in all the
bloody annals of history will, I am con-
fident, ever equal it in cruelty and saw
ageneSS.

Murder ON the High Seas.

If the following, which COPY from the Alta is
part of the world has at last closed his earthly career
and in manner quite appropriate.
"Captain Hayes of the schooner yacht Lotus.
which left this port October 9Th, 1876 for the Samo-
Islands, murdered in March last by the cook
a Dutchman, who shipped in Samoa as cook and sea-
man. The Lotus left Bonham Island, one of the
Marshall Group. bound for Aborn, one of the same
group, about l20 miles southwest Six days after
she came back, and the following information was
obtained from the man acting mate. The second
day out the Captain spoke to the man at the wheel
who was the cook, about his steering. Some alter

firearms of any kind were found on him. The act
ing mate at that time was below, sleeping The
vessel returned to Bonham as soon as possible
The Captain was buried at sea. Ths Maggie John
ston arrived at Bonham the latter part of March The
matter was explained to Captains Bliven and Henry
and IT was found that the mate. not having signed
any articles or papers of agreement to bind him self
to the vessel, had no control her At ALL Rumors
about her going to other islands IN other hands
got about. which caused Messrs. Oopelle AGO., q
large German firm there, to ask Captsin Biiven and
Henry, as American citizens, to do something n re
gard to the matter. The only thing they could do
was to deliver the vessels papers to CopeIIe 4 Co.
Tor safe Keeping, until her owner in San Francisco
could communicate Instructions. Theactng mate
was left in charge, and did everything possible to x
things up An inventory of all goods on board was
taken, and all were stored in Copelle Co.'S ware
house. The vessel was to be moored to a l60Ob an

BY the W. II. Meyer and Una, we have San
Francisco papers to September 29th.
There was no material change in the posi-
ton of affairs at the seat of war.
There appears to be considerable doubt
however about the truth of the reported Turk
ish victory at Biela.
The question of entering upon negotiations
looking to peace is reported to have been
under discussion at meeting of Cabinet Min
listers in St. Petersburg.
Abundant rains have fallen in many of the
worst famine districts of India, and the crop
prospects were improving.
Great excitement and uneasiness exists in
political circles in France, as a result of the
recent manifesto of President Mcmahon.
The celebrated astronomer Leverrier is dead.
A destructive fire occurred on the oath Of
September, in the Patent Office Building at
Washington, resulting in extensive damage to
the building and the destruction of many
thousands of models. The public books and
records contained in the building were mostly
saved, as were also many revolutionary and
other relics of inestimable value.
An eastern bound train on the Union Pacific
Railroad was boarded and taken possession
of by band of some twelve or thirteen rob
bers, at place called Indian Springs, and
plunder to the amount of over SEC, 900 success-
fully carried of.

is, to say the least of it, decidedly cool.
When, however, we come to consider that the
men whom his fellow citizens are thus called
upon to vote against are Republicans in reality
and by conviction, and that they are to be re-
buked at the polls for the very reason that
they are such, and would, if in power, seek
to make France Republic in reality as well
as in name the real force and bearing of the
Presidential manifesto becomes apparent
Notwithstanding the many acts of injustice
and folly by which his administration has
been marked, we have been thus far disposed
to believe that the Marshal President was
simply a somewhat narrow minded and wrong
headed man, whose military education and
life had rendered him incapable of entering
into the real spirit of Republican Institutions,
and who was to great extent under the con-
troll of set of re-actionary and anti-repubii-
can advisers.
The policy pursued by his administration
of late, however, looks very much as though
in case the nation returned an adverse ma
iority at the next election, he would be pre-
pared, if he saw reasonable hope of success,
TO overthrow the Republic, either in the in
terests of the exiled Bonapartes or of some
kind of military dictatorship of which he
should be the head The Republicans oi
France have never had greater need for firm
ness and wisdom than at the present time,
but we believe they will be equal to the
emergency, and that whether in victory or IN
defeat, they will show to the nation and to the
world spirit, and bearing worthy of states
men and of patriots.

THOSE of our readers who are interested in

markable address Of President Mcmahon to the
French electors, an abstract of which appears
to-day among our foreign news. Did we not
dislike to use slang, especially when treating
of important public AaHairs, we should be
tempted to say that the one word which most

THE Advertiser appears to be "spoiling
for fight" After searching in vain for
several weeks past for grievance against us,
our " brother Editor" has concluded at last to
invent one. He asks us 10 remember that his
Excellency the Attorney General attacked
hun personally in his card in the GAZETTE"
We are fortunately blessed with pretty good
memory, but we fail 20 remember the occur
renee in question, for the simple reason that
it nerer happened. His Excellency's card does
allude to the attack of the AdvertiSer on him
self but nothing in said card can, by any in
genuity, be construed into an attack on the
Editor Of the AdOertiSer or on anyone else.
Our "brother Editor" also says that we
"rated him for simply expressing some sym
pathy for a number of children whose dis
honor has been exposed by his Excellency's
procedure" This charge is quite as unfound-
ed as the other If the Editor of the ADDER
tiSer has taken the trouble to read the GAZETTE
he knows perfectly well that we never did
anything of the kind We challenge the
Editor of the Adpefiser to point out single
expression in the Attorney Generals card
which can be regarded, even by implication,
as an attack on himself, either personal or
otherwise. As for ourselves, if our brother
Editor" can find an article, paragraph, vi
sentence anywhere in the editorial depart
ment of the GAZETTE which bears out even in
the slightest degree, his complaint of having
been "rdted" for expressing sympathy for
these unfortunate children, we invite him to
publish it in full.
