GENERAL HowARD'@ MARcH.-Now that
Gen. Howard's long pursuit of Chief Joseph
and his Nez Perces has become complete
chapter in history by the successful close of
the campaign in the surrender of the hostile
Indians the misrepresentation and abuse
which the General has been submitted to are
being met with vigor by those who feel that
the persistent old soldier has not had justice
done him The Chicago Inter Ocean takes
up his cause, and in an article on his great
march gives him credit for the achievement
reached by our forces, placing the campaign
in the same category as Shennan's march to
the sea. This article contradicts several
statements which have ha6 wide currency.
The charge that Howard kept his men in
camp on Sundays is denied, the fact being
that in the whole march of 20OO miles through
region where a military force is necessarily
beset by unusual difficulties, the time occu-
pied being nearly five months, the forces took
only four days for rest and that by imperative
order of the army surgeon. The daily aver
age of distance marched was nineteen miles.
The story that the General peddled out Bibles
to the soldiers is also denied. and the fact
stated that even Howard himself had only a
| little book OF Scriptural selections. That he
was delayed by his wagon trains is shown to
| be false, as he used only pack mules, and on
" when the needs of the wounded and sick
required it did he have teams, and these he
impressed into service, dropping them when
they could be dispensed with Invidious
comparison between Generals Gibbon and
Howard are met by declaration that the for
| mer would probably have met the fate of Gus
| ter had ii not been for the latters opportune
arrival when Gibbon was surrounded. Full
credit is given to Gen. Curtis and also to Gen.
Miles for the part they took in the campaign.
In regard to the close of the long pursuit il is
denied that Joseph contemptuously refused to
surrender TO Howard. On the contrary the
Chief yielded to the demand to surrender only
when it was made in Howard's name, and un.
der the impression that Howard's force had
arrived. The movement by Gen. Miles
which resulted in the capture of Joseph, was
made under Gen. Howard's direction, and the
fact that the surrender was made in form tC
Gen. Miles was owing altogether to the fact
that with degree of courtesy not often ex
hibited in such cases, Howard waived his claim
as superior officer, though he was on the
ground twenty-four hours before the surren
| der was made,

collection was to be made-not in the
chapel, where every man could dodge or con-
ceal his parsimony, but by an open subscrip-
ton, black aud white. The collector was to
come around at once. Then it was that the
dialogue which is said TO have taken place be-
tween Mr.. Stringent and the devil occurred.
How much must give y said Mr.. Strin-
gent
AS little as you can and be respectable, ="
said the devil.
II am far from being rich" =" said Stringent
'You are the richest man in the church" ="
said conscience.
Suppose give five pounds"
Fully enough" said the tempter.
Freely ye have received, freely give, "
said conscience.
Remember your great family, their school
ing, and clothing, and the new furniture, and
the new carriage which you need, said the
tempter
Il shall put down ten pounds" said Mr..
Stringent.
You nre beside yourself! Why, they will
expect you to do in like proportion for every
thing hereafter. There's no end to these calls, -
said the tempter.
Il shall put down twenty pounds said
Stringent.
"Yes, but do consider" said the tempter,
''you know your taxes are awful this year
and you know your oats are very light. and
they sell by weight and not by the bushel, as
they once did, aud the drouth has injured
your grass, and your fruit will be next to
nothing"
Yes" said conscience, "but your corn is
magnificent. and so are the potatoes; and if
hay is light the price is certainly heavy and
your workmen never earned so much Us they
do this year and the ship-timber which had
been growing long before your were born has
brought an enormous price"
II shall put down fifty pounds
20, Mr.. Stringent Mr.. Stringent you are
nearly crazy-to throw away money SO! Why,
sir, with that sum you could buy two young
cows. or ten frst-rate-"
Get out-get out, you tempter of my
soul l shall put down one hundred pounds
this time, and if you don't let me alone will
double it :"
And Mr.. Stringent did put it down; and he
| felt so much better and grew so strong under
| it, that il was well understood between him
and the devil ever after, that if he was tempt
| ed he would double his charity. And SO well
| did he abide by it, that he became one of the
most liberal men in the community. And
when he went around to collect for charities,
as he often did. the most liberal man always
being the best collector, and his brethren
would make excuses, he would shake his head
and say, Il only wish you could have such
dialogues with the devil as l have had. =

Something effectual is likely TO be done at
the present session of Congress to provide for
the distribution of the balance of the Alabama
award left over after paying the first batch of
claimants. Senator Herman introduced two
bills on the subject Thursday. One provides
that the court of commissioners for the Ala
bama claims be re-established and proceed to
distribute the rest of the money to two classes
of claimants The first class of claims is to
be for direct damage to vessels by confeder-
ate cruisers, including vessels destroyed on
the high seas or within six miles of land. The
second class consists of claims for repayment
of war risks on ships. The first class of claims
is to be satisfied before the second, and if the
money is not enough to pay the first class,
they shall be paid ratably. The other bill en-
ables any and all persons who claim to be en-
titled to any part of the award to begin suit
therefor in the court of claims with an appeal
to the supreme court.

WHAT KRUPP CANNON BALL DD.-The
Shah of Persia one day expressed longing
for Krupp cannon in the presence of the
Russian Minister, and the Gar Immediately
sent one of the monster cannon-a 300-pound-
er-to his ally. The present was landed at
Enzili, on the Caspian Sea, but it took a
months labor by a regiment of the Persian
army to get the cannon to Teheran. Arrived
there day was appointed to fire it The
Court and almost the entire population of the
city assembled Bang! went the cannon,
away scampered half the multitude, and down
tumbled the minaret off one of the city gates,
near which the gun had been placed, But
there was another disaster. In an hours
time a messenger arrived from q village five
miles away, and reported that its inhabitants
were bewailing the loss of their mosque. The
ball from the cannon had struck the building
and ruined it. The Shah was 80 dismAyed by
the effect that he never permitted the cannon
TO be fired again.

Miscellany.


Rustling leaves, which everywhere
Fall from branches cold and bare;
Fleeting sunshine, fading DER
Breezy tarn and wind-swept moor;
Birtls' last farewell ere they fee
To a land beyond the sea
Moan OF wintry wind Oerhead-
Nature weeps, for Summers dead
In my life a sad despair,
Empty hopes aud aching care;
Vain regrets for Summer gone,
Lonely tears as days go on;
Vacant gaze and frultless cry,
Droary, dull safety,
Moan al thought OF klssfB fed
Memory weeps for Love is deadi
But, though withered leaves and sere
Shroud with gloom the blossoms' bier;
Though the birds 10 other skies
Raise their amorous melodies;
Though the lekle sunshine WOO
Brighter lands and seas more blue;
Shall not Springs soft breath restore
Blossom, leaf and bird once morel
And though Passions heaven-born power
Lasted but for one brief hour;
Though those kisses heart from heart
Tore us-evermOre to part;
Though alone I'm dreaming now,
And In thy last sleep art thou
Death. perhaps, shall some glad day,
Give thee back to me for aye.

Senates, and if the President won't do it, it is
called vetoed"
And the other:
