THE SHERIDAN ROMANCE SPOILED,
DIsPELLIEG THE CHARM OF THE STORY
AND SONG OF SHERIDAN TWENTY MILES
AWAY,
From the Utica Observer. Aug. 10.

From the Utica Observer. Aug. TO-
In October occurred the battle of Cedar
Creek. Since Grant has helped to dispel
the illusion in regard to Lookout Noun
tain it is time the truth was told in regard
TO Cedar Creek. To begin with, Sheridan
had no business to be twenty miles away on
that occasion. His absence at Winchester
was scandalously inexcusable. Early sue
ceeded in surprising our troops in the dawn
of the morning. The surprise was SO COM
plete that temporary panic and rout was
inevitable. But the Confederates did not
follow up their advantage. The split was
willing, bat the flesh was weak. When
our supply train was reached the half-fam-
lshed Southerners became demoralized,
and, in stuffing their bellies and haversacks
they let pass their best opportunity. Cen.
Wright, who commanded the Sixth Corps,
which was chiefly engaged, was equal to
the occasion. He stayed the retreat, (as
the folly of the enemy enabled him to do),
reformed the lines. and had just ordered an
advance when Gen. Sheridan appeared up
on the scene. His presence undoubtedly
added to the enthusiasm of the men, but
the assertion that he turned defeat to VIC
tory, and that Early would have been in
Washington but for his timely arrival, is
the rankest kind of nonsense.
But George Alfred Townsend happened
to be there, and he wrote for the New
York World flaming, highly fanciful ac-
count of Sheridan's ride. which Thomas
Buchanan Read afterwards dressed up in
verse. And on the strength of that per-
formance Sheridan was made Major-Gen-
eral of Regulars, jumping the best officers
of the service, and at the age of thirty eight
he was created Lieutenant-General in the
army. What he did at Five Forks will
bear a little investigation hereafter.

OUR WIVES.
THE CHANGES THAT OCCUR IN THE FIRST
TEN YEARS OF MARRIED LIFE.
Philadelphia Bulletin.


A young woman during the first week of
her married life entertains vague suspic-
ions that the statements of ether wives,
that the way to mans heart is through
his mouth, are true. Her Charles, whe IS
almost, if not quite, exempt from human
failings, has already manifested profound
admiration for veal pies, and has openly
expressed his detestation for overdone NUT
ton. She accordingly builds up within her
fortress of resolutions, in which to guard
that sacred treasure Of a husbands afee-
tion. In her girlhood this young woman
has spent much time in cultivating her mu-
sical taste, in reading Emerson and Car
lyle she has been fond of pretty land
scapes and could use her pencil with ef-
feet, and she has been heard to declare
with pride that when she married she
would give up none of these things.
Let us now visit her at the end of ten
years of matrimony, and we will find that
she has broken her VOW and thrown 1t to
the winds. We find tiresome sort Of
person whose whole intellect is absorbed
in attending to the cares of housekeeping,
and in getting stylish dresses for her chill
dren. Her conversation rises seldom
above the level of infant gossip and SER
wants, and the only ideas developed by her
time and experience are expressed in her
conviction that men are the most unrea-
sonable and selfish of creatures and that
women are the most abused and self-sac-
rificing.
There is a great evil somewhere, but
where is it? The husband acknowledges
to himself that he is disappointed in the
wife he has chosen, and yet he finds diff
Guilty in pointing out the mistake, and
hardly finds cause to blame her. for is she
not faithful wife, devoted mother and
a most frugal mana- GER? The mistake is
national characteristic. So passionate
and intense is the American mind in pur-
suit of its temporary interests, the men
will suffer the chains of business to bind
them down and throttle them, while
while wives bend. beneath similar
yoke Of duty at home.
What is lacking is the power to rise
above the petty annoyances of daily life
we need to learn to distinguish trif1es from
affairs of moment; to know that every
mole-hill is not mountain. We need not
forsake the upper strata of sentiment,
thought and ideality-because we know
that there is a lower one of routine
and small vexations, in which our feet are
| told to tread. To breathe in the one is tc
receive strength and r fresbmenJ for exer'
/ tion in t he other. 1t is very good plan tt
pick up pins and needles from the floor
but picking up pins ought not to be made
the chief object of existence, for IL we move
along with our heads constantly downward
we most assuredly Y III see nothing bettel
than pins and needles to the end of oui
days.

Robinson crusoe's Island.

From highly interesting private letter
dated April 20, we gather some particulars
in regard to the Island of Juan Fernandez,
the scene of De Foes famous romance. The
letter in question was written by the cap
tain's wife on board an American whaler
which called at the island for a supply of
wood and fresh provisions. The writer
says:
Finding to our delight a very clear and
beautiful morning, we were ready for the
boat to take us on shore by eight o'clock.
We found nice landing place, with few
houses close by the shore. The gentleman
who leases the island from the Chilian Gov
ernment, Mr.. Alf de Rode Gan enterprising
swiss) met us on the mole and very cordi-
ally invited US to his home, and gave us
some fresh milk and bread, as the morning
air had sharpened our appetites. He then
said he would 60 with us to see the cave
where Alexander Se1kirk (the original
Robinson Crusoe) lived so long. When
we arrived there a beautiful lunch was set
before US. composed of various viands,
wines, fruits, ETC., while there was nice
cool water near by, making it altogether
lovely. After an hour or SO spent in exam
lining the far-famed locality, we took our
leave, we'll pleased with our visit.
"Mr. De Rode has released the entire
island for period Of eight years, and is
stocking it with cattle, ETC., with which to
supply the passing vessels or to ship to the
mainland. Fine feed abounds. and there
is an ample supply Of fresh water. Wild
goats are abundant, and many are consum-
ed by the natives for food, the skins being
handed over to the proprietor. There are
also great number of fine fish in the sur
rounding waters. The highest part of the
island is about 5000 feet. The scenery is
varied and exceedingly beautiful. The eli
mate is tropical, and life in such place, al
though Of necessity very isolated, must
still possess all the romantic charms which
forever interests the far off summer isles of
the Pacific Ocean.
" We shall sail tonight. if favored with
a breeze, and shall carry away memories of
the hospitality of the proprietor of this fa
nous island, and our days visit, which will
cheer many dark, stormy, lonely day at
sea."-Panama Star and Herald.

A GooDY-GooD GOVERNMENTAL is to
be goody-good government fn Canada
now. The Marquis of Horne, who
comes to Canada to represent his royal
mother-in-law, is a nice quiet, so-so-ish
young man, given to poetry and 'sculchah, !"
who will never keep pack of hounds and
ride a steeplechase into the affections of
the Canuckers like Lord Dufferin has.
Then, IS for the Love- Lorne Louise. she is
pleasant, social little body, with an apti-
tnde for water-colors and cream meringues,
but, like Victoria's other girls, destitute of
style, and totally unlike Lady Dufferin,
who could sit up all night in the House Of
Parliament and sing God Save the
Queen 2 with the best Of them. The Sun
day-school cause will soon be revived across
our Northern border, but they won't have
as much fun.-Cin. Enquirer.

SUMMER RESORT CONVERSATION
CoMETH A BLESSING DOWN.

Not to the man of dollars,
Not to the man of deeds.
Not TO the man of cunning,
Nor to the man OF creeds;
Not to the one whose passion
Is for the worlds rcnown,
Not in form of fashion,
Cometh blessing down,
Not unto lands expansion,
Not to the miser's chest,
Not to the pr1ncely mansion,
Not to the blazoned crest;
Not to the sordid worldling,
Not to the knavish clown.
Not to the naughty tyrant,
Cometh blessing down.
Not to the folly blinded,
Not to the STEPPED in shame.
Not to the carnal-minded,
Not to unholy tame;
Not in neglect of duty,
Not in the monarch's crown,
Not at the smile of beauty.
Cometh blessing down.
But to one whose spirit
Yearns for the great and good
Unto the one whose storehouse
Yielded the hungry food;
Unto the one who labors
Fearless of foe or frown;
Unto the kindly-hearted
Cometh blessing down.

DOLCE FAR NIENTE.

The round full moon sheds forth its mellow light,
The tranquil river glides in calm Iepose;
The tropic, odor-laden air of night
Against my boats white bulwark gently blows.
Far from the uproar of the noisy town
drift upon the tranquil stream at ease;
My meerschaum slowly colors cloudy brown
The Spanish weed perfumes the gentle breeze.
The lazy motion of nv drifting boat,
The balmy sweetness of the tropic air,
With every care from this fair scene remote,
Combine to form JOY divine and rare,
'Tis hours like these that light lfes devious ways,
And cast glory DER the coming days.

The issue of the coming election is very
simple, and easily understood. In order to
gain power, the Democrats of Colorado
have sold themselves bodily to Jay Gould,
Sidney Dillon, and the railroad monopoly.
The plain question for the voters of this
State to determine is, whether it is best to
deliver the politics of the State and the
State government into the hands of men
who will run it in their own personal inter
ests, or 1t is better that the government
should be run in the interest of the people
at large? Elect the Democratic ticket,
and the State of Colorado belongs to a
grinding soulless corporation, composed of
few men, who will beggar the country in
schemes of self-aggrandisement. Let the
farmer, the miner and the laboring man
think of this simple question. Colorado

Electricity has been applied to stripping
Photographic films from glass plates. Pho
tographers know full well that there is
scarcely any substance SO electric in it's ma
| ture as collodion film, and dry film may
be made to adhere firmly to glass surface
if it is simply stroked by the hand to excite
it electrically. M. Boivin believes that the
only adhesion of collodion film to glass, in
the ordinary way, is due to its electric state,
and it is only when the electric copdition is
destroyed that the film is repelled SO thor
oughly that 1t may be lifted from the plate
| without difficulty. An exeited film Ger
tainly adheres very firmly, and can only be
peeled off the glass with difficulty, anC
clings to ones hands and around ones fin
gers with disagreeable tenacity. When
| charged, however, with positive electricity
the film comes from the glass Immediately
and one has no difficulty in getting it tt
leave the plate. 1t is said that if we sim
ply cut round the edges with knife
and then charge the film first with ont
kind of electricity and then with an
other, the collodion image will leave thu
glass without further trouble. This is Ger
tainly a novel application of electricity.
