GENERAL HOWARD said to San
Francisco reporter, in Summing up the
campaign against Chief Joseph: "Too
much credit cannot be given to Miles,
for his action was mastery and decis-
i've; but no slurs can be cast at my
men, for their accomplishing labor
deserves the highest encomiums. We
had no wagons, remember, or at best
a few only at shines, and yet the infan-
try marched from the 22nd of June to
the 10th of October, over two thousand
miles, while the cavrlry covered a
still greater distance. During h Q
first twenty six consecutive days-we
knew no Sundays, whatever the pa
pers may say to the contrary-the in
fantry averaged 10 $40 miles per day,
and through most of the time they
were ill-clothed, ill-fed and, worst of
all, ill-shed."

The Way Of the TranSgressor.
THE TWO CARPET .BAGGERs ON FHE
FLOOR OF THE SENATE.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-The rare
spectacle of felon in the hands of bis
keepers walking about the Senate
floor in their charge and visiting as
they directed, is one that has never
been seen in the Senate before. A
more bumiliating sight than John j.
Patterson in his sohiection to General
Butler and his Democratic associates is
rarely seen in politics. He came into
the Senate worn and wrinkled with the
1atiSues OF his criminal trial. From
the first he never voted without OPEN
ly consulting with the Democrats,
openly walking over and consulting
with them as each vote was proposed.
Patterson's gray brown hair was
brushed back in crinkly, wavey masses
from dead white face. His black
eyes snapped uncertainty with the ex-
preston of rat in a trap. His short,
brown mustache was snawed short
over tremalous lips, pale with nervous
agitation. Was this man trembling on
the brink of a penitentiary that he
never remained still9 He would 30 to
bis seat and then dash to the cloak
rooms and then over to the Ropubli-
can side. At first his own party men
would talk with him. Later they left
him to himself, while even Democrats
talked to him patronizingly, knowing
to what extent he was an AFFECT tool of
their will. Nothing but the most i'm
minent danger and relentless grip up
on his very life could have led Patter-
son to openly stand up to-day and de-
sert his republican associates. The
contempt showered upon him by all
sides was the most whitening punish
ment that is ever fastened upon all Of
fetal rogue. He had no credit with
any one. What he did was not the
result of any conscientious belief, but
because Of abject fear and to escape
the penalties of his crime.
The same iron power had possession
of Conover. He consulted repeatedly
with the Democrats. Several times
he lodged vote and then was
bought back. Once be voted with
the Republicans, but was Immediately
seized by the Democrats and lobbied
into the dark rooms until lie came
back aud changed his vote. As he
rose in all Of his stumbling, pitiable
weakness and huskily said that he
desired to change his vote, this carpet
bag Senator did his inner conscience
the intense flattery of blushing a
boiled red color mp to the top of his
bald skull.
During the discussion the straight
military figure of NJ. c. Butler, tightly
outtoned in balf-dress coat, was
seen calmly walking to and fro in the
ear of the Democratic seats. He has
! clear-cut, deadly quiet face. H s

An Anecd0te of Andrew Jackson

When Andrew Jackson was q young
man attending court at Rogersville,
Tenn, he lived at hotel famous for
its good cheer. One day, as he sat on
the piazza, a youth came riding along
dressed in the pink of fashion, bis eyes
fixed on vacancy, replying not to the
salutes which it was the custom of the
times for strangers to give each other.
At glance jackson saw the fop, and
determined to play the part of Boni-
face. He welcomed the silent stranger
with distinguished polteness, and the
company about the fire made room for
him. But the automaton was not to
be won by conversation. He walked
up and down the room contemplating
his own graces, and presently ex-
claimed, commandiugly: Landlord,
l want superb Supper was spread,
and the stately youth devouled it.
Then he resumed his walk, answered
not word to the remarks of the fire.
side circle of lawyers aud Judges, and
Jackson grew more and more wrath
full. "Landlord, want to go to bed,"
was the next demand; and be added,
~ want room to myself" jackson
represented that the house was fun,
and there was no single room to be
had; the young fellow was not to be
moved. Jackson disappeared, and
shortly returned, announcing that the
guests room was ready. The two
went off through the front door, all the
company following, and stopped-at
the corn crib, through the cracks of
which light was shining. "There's
your room," said Jackson. "Do you
wish to insult me, sir?' 'No insult at
all sir. You vowed you would not
sleep 10 room with any one and de-
manded room to yourself. There it
is, sir" II VOW l will not sleep there,'
said the dandy. "By the eternal, you
shall,' exclaimed Jackson, and grab
bling the youth, he sent him at one toss
into the crib and locked the door,
Aud there be staid all night, and in
the morning he was released and dis
missed breakfastless by the impetuous
Jackson. This is a tale told by the
ancient lady of Rogersville.

The California Vintage.

The vintage of 1877 is not turning out as sat-
isfaetorily % those ted in California vim
lculture had reason to expect in the spring hat
it would do Then the prospects for at least an
average vintage ere good. The setting of the
fruit on the vines was very satisfactory. The
vines having apparently passed this critical
period, those best acquainted with the vnicul-
ture OF the state then estimated the vintage
OF 1871 az from 100000 to 100000 gal
winds which prevailed took off many Of the
blossoms, and the long period of dry weather
which followed deprived the vines of the
moisture which they so greatly needed The
halt.
The small crop and size of the grapes will
also limit the production of rasins this year
1t is so at Stockton and at Blowers. where
most of the California raisins are manufac-
tured.
!, Most Of the small producers have got rid of
their last vintage at about cost. Large quanti-
ties are held by larger producers for a better
market. The large wine-celars are conse-
auently full, while the small ones are empty.
These facts, coupled with the small quantity of
wine obtained from the present vintage are cal
culated to facilitate the sale of wines and in
crease their prices here and elsewhere.
