Ben Perley Poore, who is. perhaps. the old.
est living washington correspondent, tells
the following anecdote In one Of his recent
letters:
sSenator Ewing (the father of Mrs. Sher-
man and Of the present Congressman. from
Lancaster, Ohio once said, In addressing the
Senate on the ruin and misery brought upon
the country by Jackson's order removing the
deposits from the United States Bank,
that the turnpikes In Ohio were growing
up with grass, and that the canal was
solitude. He was ever afterward
known as Tom Solitude Ewing. One day
q party Of friends, entered the old Senate
Chamber, and seeing Ewing sitting apart
looking very glum, stopped Ia front of him
and quoted the following lines from Cowper's
poem on Alexander Sellsirk:
"'Oh Solitude, where are the charms
Which sages have seen In thy face?'"

WmLr q Republican party says the New
York Pot has been winning good victories
on this side OF the Atlantic, u Republican
party, with greater aims and more nation
al identity, has been periecting the govern
ment which is TO make France homosC-
ncous nation. So long rs the Senate, the
most exalted legislative body OF France,
contained majority who impugned her
republIcanism, It was idle to conceal the
danger to which her institutions were sub
iectcd The Orleanists, LegitimiStS and
Bonapartists in her Senate were held apart
only by their traditional hatred OF one an
other, and il once bond OF union had
been found, a Senatorial majority, cxercIs-
ing the right OF dissolution concOraantly
with the Marshal President, could have
thrown France into chaos from which a
new empire or new Kingdom might have
emerged. The working majority OF the
Republicans in the Senate will avert this
peril, restrict the abuses OF the Presidcn-
tial prerogative, make feasible certain re-
forms which France as republic needs,
and consolidate and strengthen in every
direction those institutions oil civil liberty
which the se!ircstraint OF the Republicans
preserved during the grave crisis OF last
year.

How Phil. sheridan Dssopcycd Orders.

The recent gathering OF military men III
our city, and the recital of "reminiscences
Of the war which gave occasion for the or
ganization of the Army Of Tennessee, re-
calls 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 person
ally cognizant OF itatthe time, driven from
their minds by the contemplation ofthc
glorious achievements which have made
the name Of Sheridan loved and honOrcd
throughout 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 1851 no was appointed
Ouartermaster OF the Army OF the South
west, under commando Of Gem Curtis, with
headquarters at Springfield, Mo. An expedi.
ton wasOrganized, and Gen. Curtis headed
il in person. The march Of the army was
harassed by attacks from bushwhaCkers
and guerillIs, and there was great need OF
horses to meet and repulse these classes of
cOmhatants. General Curtis dispatched n
courier from Timber Tfollows to Sheridan
with intruCtions 10 forward Immediately
all the horses he could procure; il there
was no money on hand with which to pur-
chase them to 20 opt and press them into
the service. In those early days the war
was not carried into Africa, so to speak, as
in later times, and Sheridan refused to run
any risks by such IN irregular proceeding,
and sent back word 10. Curtis that he
would send no horses Tor which he had
not receipts, and having no funds on hand
he could not procure ttlem.5 Gent Curtis
was furious at the presumption OF the
Quartermaster, and ordered tho c0ntuma-
cious officer 10 forward his sword to the
General and report To- Gcnoral IIalleCk9 in
command Of thedcpartment,tat st. Louis,
unde arrest.
Sherdinan left ,SpringfeId,in pursuance
Of these ordersalid that was'thc last heard
ofhim in the Army OF the Southwest. In
the spring Of 1862 no appeared again us
Colonel Of the I'd Michigan Cavalry, after
which time his progress vas rapid aud
brilliant, and known to the whole country.
How he got out OF the trouble with Gen.
Curtis tho archivssiot the War Depart
mcnt may be able to- tell, but it j. not
known to those who were associated with
him in Missouri. Tie stirring events Of
that period left but little time 10 look up
the records Of individuals, ,hoWeSer n.
nous. The episode was the making Of
Philip, though. Had he not disobeyed
orders, he might ind would, in all proha-
hilitv, have served through the war fising
