Man of MuEcIe

Marshal SAKE, the most famous gem
eral OF the last century, prior TO the ap-
pearance OF Frederick the Great, was n
man Of remarkable bodily strength, Of
which he was far prouder than even of
his welleaTned fame as n commander.
To astonish those around him by straight.
ening n horseshoe or bending q bar Of
iron was his greatest delight: and for a
time his superiority in this respect was
as unquestioned az his skill i'm war. At
length when brief armistice enabled
the marshal 20 invite some OF the Britiph
officers 10 dine with him, he entertained
his guests by untwisting the links Of
chain, and challenging them to do the
like.
The English General modestly dis
claimed any pTeteusion 20 rival his ex.
cellency's strength, but added that there
was a Flemish blacksmith In one Of the
adjacent villages, who might, perhaps,
be capable Of doing 70. SAKE, kindling
up at the bare thought Of any man pre-
suming TO be as strong rs himself,
| eagerly inquired where this athlete was
TO be met with and riding thither next
morning with several Of his officers, bade
the smith bring out one Of his best horse
shoes. The man obeyed, but SAKE broke
it with one wrench Of his powerful
hands, and treated q second and third
in like manner.
This is but poor gear Of yours, my
friend, said he "it won't stand wear.
However, ] suppose 10 must be paid for. J."
So speaking, he threw him n French
crown. The smith took 10 between his
fingers and thumb and cracked IL in two
like a wafer. The marshal produced n
second and n third, which shared the
same fate. This is but poor money
Of yours, meinherr," said the smith,
grinning, "it won stand wear. How
ever, ! suppose the cracked money must
pay for the broken horseshoe" The
officers could not restrain their laughter,
and SAKE, although somewhat mortified
at having met his match at last, showed
his appreciation Of the smiths perform
ance by enlisting him as fsrrier to the
headquarters staff.
WHATONELETrER DID twas through
the mistake of n single letter in 1920
that BatOum was left in the possession
of Turkey. I'm the draft Of the treaty
| Of Adrianope 10 was declared that the
! river Tschorock, which flows into the
I EuXiue south Of BatOum, should form
the new boundary. in copying out the

progress throughout the country, in all the

in sections of the country where the general
enjoyment OF the privilege Of free schools is

Land IaereInnrnents.

Nothing, perhaps, is more significant of the
extensive emigration to. the West that has
been going forward since the first Of the year
than the land sales made during this period
by the leading Western railways. The state
ments OF fifteen companies west OF Ohio give
the startling total of 904. 1872 acres sold during
the first four months OF 1878, the price per
acre ranging from SO 3g-the Kansas Pacific
Railroad average-to S12 6s, the average of
the Grand Rapids and Indiana Railroad. The
contrast with last year is even more striking.
Thus, while the Northern Pacific Railroad
during the first four months of 1877 sold but
81 It's acres, during the same period OF the
present year it's sales amounted to 1864
acres. and the Kansas Pacihes to 127, 2T2,
against 81, T24 last year. This is indeed rapid
development, and it could not well have been
more happily timed, for the West Is suffering

who returned from Washington to-day, will
probably go before the Potter committee again
on Saturday next. He says he will show,
by incontestible documentary evidence, in
the letter of Republican member
of Congress, that he was assured that
he might name the Collector of the Port Of
New Orleans on condition that he would sur
render the Sherman letter. The appointment
of Marks day or two ago as Collector of In
ternal Revenue for the First District of
Louisiana he regards as a roundabout way OF
silencing three witnesses who We're TO con-
firm important parts OF his testimony, the
understanding being that Marks is to pro-
vide for them. Anderson also says that when
he returned to Louisiana after the Inaugural
ton, it was at the request Of Stanley Mat
thews who gave him special instruction to
hunt up points against Kellogg, Packard and
Pitkin, who were then antagonizing the
new administration. The words 4 Matthews
according to this story were: "We want to
enforce obedience from these men," Ander-
son is prepared to give a statement of this
matter, and other points In regard to his re-
lations with Matthews, Sherman and APP
pointment Clerk Smith, when he goes upon
the stand again. He gives 1t as his opinion
that the alleged letter OF Sherman to him and
Weber was the joint work of Sherman and
Matthews, or at leastthat the latter was privy
to the proceeding.
