SOME fifty or more years ago a
poor old woman in Ireland had her
cottage pulled down over her head
by her landlord. Her name was
MOllie Mcguire, and she died of
grief and exposure. ThereupOn her
son and some neighbOr lads formed
themselves into a secret band, and
vowed and took fierce revenge on
Irish landlords in general. The
band spread rapidly, and they called
themselves the "MOllie Maguires,"
and Irish coal miners brought the
name to America.

Gen. Sherman ON War and Politics.

The Rochester Union prints the fol-
lowing letter from Gen. Sherman, writ
ten in reply to an inquiry concerning
what party he has acted with since the
war:
HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF UNITED STATES,
WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 30. 1877.
Editor Union and AdUert ser, Rochester, ". Y.
Yours of Jan. 9th, with Enclosure, is re-
ceived. AS near as / can learn, 1t would be
unsafe to class Gen. Sherman as belonging
to either OF the great parties into which our
countrymen are divided. He stands by the
CONSTITUTED authorities - and has openly
expressed his satisfaction hat Congress had
by law regulated the exact manner OF ascer-
tanning and declaring the Electoral vote, so
as to escape the calamity of drifting upon
the 14th Of February with a certainty OF a
disagreement between the two houses Of
Congress.
Gen. Sherman has no conviction that wars
will be less frequent in the future than In
the past, or that his avocation is gone be-
cause Congress has in this instance evil
denced wisdom and forbearance. The only
object of war is peace; and military men,
especially on this continent, have been emil
nently the advocates of peace. Neverthe-
less. as long as man is man, governed by
passion, prejudice, and feeling quite as
often as by reason and religion, wars are
inevitable, and the military profession will
be necessary and honorable among civilized

What o Man Can Carry.

An interesting series of experiments
have been made in France to determine
the heaviest load a man of ordinary
strength can carry. For a short dis
lance it was found that 319 pounds was
the average load. All that a man can
carry habitually, as, for example, sol
der walking on level ground, is 1872
pounds. This seems by far too much
of a burden, and we doubt if the ordi-
nary soldier could carry, day in and day
out, much more than half of it. In our
late war, 60 pounds, and even so, were
found too heavy a load to sustain on a
march of several days. Though, in an
emergency, such as a foraging expedi-
ton, a good soldier would carry a hum
dred pounds of geese, turkeys and
chickens. For a days work on level
ground, an ordinary man can carry
1918 pounds, yer 5000 feet. Ii he
ascends Il ladder or stairs, as hod-car-
riers do, he can carry but 121 pounds,
hour in and hour out, and his days
work will amount to 1882 pounds raised
5000 feet high. A man can pull or
push with his arms continually, so as
to raise each second from 26.4 to SO
pounds to a height of 1.8 to 81 feet, or
about ! horse power.

Women as BULL Fighters.

After the season of the principal bull
fights is over, a second series is inaugu-
rated in Madrid, and in this stout young
Amazons take the places of the hardy
brutes who usually play the matadors.
The heroines bind up their abundant
hair with long ribbons, and around
their bodies YEA a wicker bottomless
barrel, which protects them against the
more furious assaults of the tormented
animals. These women, when dancing
before the bulls and melting them to
combat, look more like turtles walking
on their hind legs than human beings.
They are frequently thrown high in air,
and now and then come crashing in
their osier barrel down upon the spec
tators. The animals chosen for this
minor series of combats are ordinarily
young, and their human tormentors
avoid killing them if possible. The
rings are frequently invaded by crowds
of amateurs, who are provided with
long, flexible poles, by the aid OF which
they leap over the backs of the mad
dened bulls that rush at them. A few
years since, children were Introduced
in the rings in combats with bull calves,
in which the poor, little, misguided
human creatures were sometimes Grip
pied for life by the calves, whose play
was too rough for them.-EdWard King,
