Death of Sheridan's Famous Steed.

The famous charger that carried Gen.
Sheridan to Winchester, twenty. miles
away" died in his masters stable, on
Michigan avenue, at an early hour on
yesterday morning. The part played 10y
this animal in one of the bloodiest bat
ties of the Rebellion has been respect
fully recognized in books of history and
patriotic verse. Read, the poet, by a
few strokes of his pen, lifted the beast
into fame almost as enduring as that
which has been earned by its rider
Winchester" the cognomen by which
the horse has been known since the war,
was Jet black in color, with small white
star almost in the center of the fore
head--a sort of lucky star" He stood
sixteen and half hands high, and was
trim built and active, and proud-spirited.
When Sheridan took command of the
Second Michigan regiment in 1862,
Capt. Campbell presented him with the
animal, which was then spoken of as a
3-year-old colt. His owner dubbed him
Rienza, after the Mississippi town of that
name.
History describes the ride to Win
chester as furious and headlong race.
The General said that the actual dis
lance ridden was sixteen miles, the poet,
Read, having used about four miles of
"poetical license He spoke feeingly
of his old black steed, saying he had
been unexcelled in speed, courage, do
cility, and nobleness of nature. The
General said he had not been upon
"Winchester's7 back since the war
closed. He has required his hostler to
give him the tenderest attention.

prepared and preserved in the best art

WISHING AND HAVING.
by n. n. sropDARD.

II 10 wish and 10 have were one my dear,
You would be sitting now
With not care I'm your tender heart,
Not a wrinkle upon your brow;
The clock of time would go back win 70"
All the years you have been my VIE,
Till its golden hands had pointed our
The happiest hour OF your life;
would stop them at that immortal hour,
The clock should no longer run;
You could not be sad and SICK ana old
II 10 wish and to have were one.
You are not here in the winter. my love,
The snow is not whirling down;
You are in the heart of the summer woods,
In your dear old seaside town;
patter of little feet in the leaves,
A beautiful boy at your side;
He IN gathering flowers in the shady hooks
N was but dream that he died.
Keep hold of his hands, and sing to him;
No mother under the sun
Has such a seraphic child as yours
II TO wish and to have were one.
Methinks am with you there, dear wife,
In that old house by the sea;
l have flown 10 you as the bluebird flies
To his mate in the poplar tree.
sailors hammock hangs at the door,
You swing in Ii, book in hand;
boat is standing in for the beach,
Its keel CRATES on the sand:
Your brothers are coming-two manly men,
Whose lives have only begun;
Their days will be long in the land, dear heart
II to wish and 10 have are one.
II to wish and to have were one, ah, mel
would not be old and poor,
But young and prosperous gentleman,
With never dun at the door;
There would be no past 10 bewail, my love,
There would be no future TO dread;
Your brothers would be live men again,
And my boy would not be dead.
Perhaps il will all come right at last;
1t may be, when all is DONE
We shall be together in some good world,
Where 10 wish and TO have are one.

Suggestions for Fat People.

1t is Brillat-Savarin we believe, who,
in his immortal book on gastronomy,
AYERS that no one is entirely satisfied
with his weight; every one wants to be
somewhat fatter or somewhat leaner; or,
if he or she really is just about as he
would be in this respect, he imagines a
tendency one way or the other which he
feels he must be on his guard TO correct.
There is enough truth in this to make
it an object for that enterprising class of
individuals who make their money out
of the weaknesses of their fellows to
advertise pretty constantly various Sc
cret fat-producing and Embarrassing
nostrums. The extraordinary sale of
Banting's famous pamphlet, which
reached 10000 or 10000 copies, attests
the same, and almost every year there
is some new remedy offered to the reg
ular profession, either to make fat or
to disperse it.
The larger class, or, mt any rate, APP
parently the more anxious class, are
those who are too fat, and who wish to
grow leaner. OF the various drugs pro-
posed to accomplish this, acids, in the
form of vinegar and alkalies, especially
liquor potasse, are the best known. No
doubt both these produce the effect de-
sired, but they both do it Mt the cost of
profound disturbances of the nutritive
functions, and, in many cases, serious
danger to life.
Recently DR.. Tarnier has called atten-
ton to the success of milk diet in
these cases. He commences by allow
! ing three-fourths the usual food and one
liter of milk the first day; one-half the
usual food and two iters of milk the
second day one-fourth the food and
three iters of milk the third day, and
thereafter four liters of milk daily and
nothing else. Often, however, it is bet
ter to allow small proportion of the
usual food each day, to prevent the pa
tient becoming tired of the milk
Should diarrhea set in, the milk should
be suspended for while and then re.
sumed. The treatment may be contin-
ued until the fat is reduced. DR.. Tar
nier claims that this treatment is always
successful, and entails no danger what
ever.-Medicdl and Surgical Reporter

VISITORS to Paris who have not seen
the city since the Exhibition of 1867 are
struck by the sense of personal freedom
which is now experienced. Soldiers are
hardly to be seen; even policemen are
few and far between; and though they
are still required to give up their walk
ing sticks and umbrellas mt the doors of
some places-as, for instance, che In
vaides-where no mischief could pos
sibly be apprehended from their retain
ing them, they are not subjected to this
annoyance at the Louvre and other mu-
seums.

Why Tullis was Murdered.

Why Tullis was Murdered
San Francisco, Aug. 16.-The con-
fession of Dye and Anderson show that
Dye found the office of public admin
istrator Improbable, and jocosely re-
marked that he would have to kill
somebody. He took Anderson into his
confidence and they chose Tullis as
their victim, as he possessed considera-
BILE property. First, Dye and Ander-
son went to Tullis' place to murder
him, but their courage failed them.
Then they poisoned bottle of liquor
and gave that to Tullis, still he lived.
Finally they got a boat and going with
some confederates, they brutally muir
dered their man with sand bag and
revolvers.
Dyes plan for realizing on the estate
of Tullis was to compound with the
creditors. His legitimate commissions
would have been about $500. Dye
has always borne good reputation, but
parties now coming forward affirm that
he was bushwhacker during the late
war, and pillaged and murdered indis-
criminately. Neither party will be al
lowed to turn States evidence.

Berlin, Aug. 16.-Emil Hoedel, wLo
attempted the assassination of Emperor
William, May IL, in the avenue Unter
Den Linden, was beheaded this morn
in in the court yard of the new prison.
An Imperial warrant, decreeing that
justice should take its course, was sign
ed on the 9Th of the present month.
Hoedel's age was about 81. On the
trial he protested that he had not in
tended to take the life of the Emperor,
but sought to sacrifice his own life in a
public manner in order to create SYM
pathy for the suffering people; but nu-
merous witnesses testified that Hoedel
levelled his weapon directly at the En-
peror.
Before the execution he asked for
wine for supper and drank to the Com
mune and Social Democracy. When
the sentence was read on the scaffold
he spat disdainfully and cried ''Bravo.
He repulsed the ministrations of chap
lain, declaring them useless, as it would
take years to convert him. Fifty per-
sons, including officials, judges, police,
and twelve citizens attended the exec
ntion, which is generally approved.
Official notice of the execution has been
posted throughout the city as warning.
1t required but a single stroke of the
axe to decapitate Hoedel. The remains
were Immediately burned.

A Big Rake of valuables.

A Big Rake of Valuables.
A most daring and successful ROBBIE
ry was perpetrated at the Palmer House
this afternoon, by which the New
York iewelry firm of Max Freund &
company lost about fifteen thousand
dollars worth of goods. Henry Freund,
of that firm, arrived here this morning
with heavily armored iron bound
trunk, and having been assigned room
80, he took every precaution against
burglars, and at one O'Clock went down
to dinner with friend. Although he
remained away only half an hour,
when he returned he found that an en-
trance had been effected to his room
through the transom, and his trunk
had been broken open, and the more
valuable jewelry all taken. No traces
were left of the experts who did the
job, except two jimmies and piece of
paper in which they were wrapped.
