On the authority of Colonel Talcost,
who vouches for the truth of the mat
ter. says the Inyo (Cal.) Independents,
there is certain point on ridge high
up on Kearsarge Mountain where can be
heard the rumble OF trains on the South
ern Pacific Railroad, as they CROSS the
range to the west of Mobave-140 miles
distant. There is regular daily train
passing at 1880 o'clock, and upon reach
ing the place at this hour the noise of
the train is heard as stated. II is cur.
ious thing in Nature, but scarcely more
wonderful than some of the mountain
echoes we read of. nor no more incom-
prshensible than late achievements oi
science in telephones, monographs and
megaphones, possibly involving the
same principle of conducting sounds
through the air or solids.

sponded the friend, "Wife 60 in, too?"
"Oh. yes, every day." said the returned
vacationist. "Can she swimp" queried
the friend, with some interest. "No,
she can't" was the reply. She tried and
tried to learn, but somehow she didn't
get the hang of it. She said she couldn't

that was the reason. but the fact was''-

how PHIL. SHERIDAN DIsoBEYED
OBDERs.
fIndiauapolis Evening News.

The recent gathering of military
men 10 our city, and the recital of
"reminiscences of the war which give
occasion for the organization of the Army
of the Tennessee, recalls an incident in
the military experience of General Phil.
Sheridan which is not generally known,
and which has doubtless been forgotten
by many who were personally cognizant
by the contemplation of the glorious
achievements which have made the name
Of Sheridan loved and honored through
out the land. At the beginning of the
war he was captain in the regular army,
having graduated at West Point in 1853.
In the fall Of 1861, he was appointed
Quartsrmaster of the army of the South
west, under command of General Curtis,
with headquarters at Springfield Mis-.
souri,. An EXPEDITION to Arkansas was
organized, and General Curtis headed it
in person. The march OF the army was
harrassed by attacks from bushwhackers
and guerlllas, and there was great need
OF horses to meet and repulse these
classes of combatants. General Curtis
dispatched courier from Timber Hol-
lows to Sheridan with instructions to
forward Immediately all the horses he
could procure. II there was no money
on hand with which to purchase them,
to go out aud press them into the SER
vice. In those early days, the war was
not carried into Africa, 30 to speak. as in
later times, and Sheridan refused to run
any risk by such an irregular proceeding,
and sent back word to Curtis that be
would send no horses for which be had
not receipts, and, having no funds on
hand, he could not procure them. Cen
eral Curtis was furious at the presump-
ton OF the quartermaster, and ordered
the contumaolous officer to forward his
sword to the general and report to Gen
eral Hallsck in command of the depart
ment of st. Louis, under arrest. Sheri-
dan left Springfield in pursuance of these
orders, and that was the last heard of
him in the Army OF the Southwest. In
the Spring OF 1862 be appeared again as
colonel of the Second Michigan Cavalry,
after which time his progress was rapid
and brilliant, and known to the whole
country. How he got out of the trouble
with General Curtis the archives of the
War Department may be able to tell, but
1t ia not known to those who were asso-
ciated with him in Missouri. The stir
ring events Of that period left but little
time to look up the records of individu-
ais, however famous. The episode was
the making of Philip, though. Had
he not disobeyed orders, he might, and
would, in oil probability, have served
through the war, rising no higher than a
brigade or division quartermaster.
