A West Point Incident.

An anecdote Of the cadet life of Gen.
I. W. Sherman shows how early he
learned that the first duty Of soldier
is never to disobey orders. His first
tour Of guard duty was performed on
one OF the most terrible nights 1 ever
witnessed. A storm of wind and rain
arose soon after nightfall, that ragged
during the greater part of the night
with undated fury, while frequent
flashes of lightning disclosed the old
forts and other picturesque surround
ings of the Point only to render the
darkness more appalling. Add to this
frequent peals of thunder echoing
among the surrounding peaks
as If the world were coming to an end.
and you can form some idea of the
scene that comes up 30 wildly to my
memory after the lapse of nearly half
century. In the midst of this terrible
war of elements, it occurred to three
cadets-one of them perhaps the cor.
poral of the guard-that this would be
favorable time to test the mettle of
the young "pleb" from Newport. l
shall never forget Sherman'S appear
ance as he entered our tent the next
morning, his gun cut and Scared in
various places, his clothes wet and
dripping and covered with mud.
Wlthorn (also from Newport) and my.
self eagerly inquired for the cause of
and plight, ana were informed that three
men or devils-he did not know nor
care which-had approached his post in
the midst Of the storm, covered with
white Sheets and endeavored to
pass without giving the countersign.
One of them, armed with a musket and
fixed bayonet, attempted to force his
way; but" said he, IL stood my
ground, and would have run him
through but for his superior skill in
using the weapon" As soon as the trio
found that young Sherman meant bust
ness, they disappeared under the cover
of the darkness, leaying him master of
the situation, and, doubt not, have
kept their defeat to this day profound
secret.

Killed by Scandal.

Some statements have been male in
regard to the young man George CIark
who recently killed himself in this
city at the Kennard House. which NAV
serve as warning. He had had a ,lif.
ticulty with his wife and had been
guilty of improper conduct az a hus.
band. When he saw the wretcbed de-.
tails spread out in tile columns of the
newspapers, the disgrace and exposure
OF his private affairs drove him to des.
peration. He thought the ewes of
everybody we're upon him, that he was
branded forever as q criminal before
mankind, and that death was the surest
and only source of relief. He had not
the courage to live, and so died by his
own hand. We do not learn that this
young man was q candidate for office:
that any divorce suit or charge was
pending against him in the courts; that
he was in any sense a public man, or
that the newspapers had any business
with his private affairs whatever, That
he had sinned, and was guilty of a
great wrong to his family aud himself.
seems quite true, but that his offenses
should have been published, blazoned
to the world with all the glaring head.
lines that sensation and ingenuity
could invent, seems a needless and
wanton outrage. q violation of public
deccncy and the liberty of the press.
His private affairs were his private af.
fairs, and the public had no business
with them. Their exposure could do
nobody any good, were in no sense
news to which the public were entitled,
and such publications should be made
punishable like the vilest libels on pri.
vate character.
Such garbage may make newspapers
sell. It'll eagerly sought by the bad
and the thoughtless. But such inva.
sion of the private affairs of private
citizen by newspaper is q degradation
OF the press and a monstrous abuse of
its rights. If persisted in by papers
claiming to be respectable, journalism
rs profession will sink below con-
tempt, and the time will come when, if
editors are beaten or killed, the COM
munity will say it served them right.
Young Clark killed himself rather than
meet the shame he felt awaiting him.
But if his death calls public attention
to growing evil in our country now
recklessly INDUCED in by a portion of
the press, he may not have died in

They Couldn't Make Him Speak.

They had dime supper in the neigh
borhood of Pawtucket, conceived and
carried out by the ladies. The condi.
tions of this novel supper were these:
For every word spoken by the gentle
men at the supper table forfeit of ten
cents was imposed; but, on the other
hand las duties are always compensated
with rights and restrictions with privi-
leges) it was agreed that whoever
could weather the whole supper, sub
hitting to all queries. surprises and
ingenious questions without replying,
should be entitled to it gratultously.

tons. At last all fell out and paid the
dime penalty save one individual-a
queer chap-whom nobody seemed to
know. He attended strictly to busi
ness and passed unheeded the jokes,
jlbes and challenges. They quizzed
him, but all in vain. He wresiied with
the turkey and grappled with the
goose. He bailed out the cranberry
sauce with an unswerving hand, and he
ate celery as the scriptural vegetarian

DEsPoNDENcY.-The most perilous
hour of persons life is when he is
tempted to despond. The man who
loses his courage loses all; there is no
more hope of him than there is of a
dead man; but it matters not how poor
he may be, how much pushed by cir
Gums tances, how much deserted by
friends, how much lost to the world; if
he only keeps his courage, holds up his
head, works on with hands and with
unconquerable will, determined to do
and to be what becomes a man, all will
be we'll. 1t is nothing outside Of him
that kills, but what is within, that
makes or unmakes.

A Turkish Dinner.

Having no lady to look after, the
guest need stand on no ceremony; in
deed, he need not stand at all. He
crosses his legs upon the cushion which
is spread for him, takes his spoon in
one nand and his serviette in the other,
and without word waits till the dishes
come. Presently attendants bring q
huge round tray, upon which there is q
large bowl OF soup, together with q
little plate and one knife and fork for
each guest. There are, besides, sew
eral tiny dishes, upon which are dis
played sweet meats, pickles, caviare
and olives; some pieces of bread com.
plete the array.
For moment the diners regard the
tray, and, perchance, taste an olive or
sweet. But the chief of the table, if
he be an intelligent person, does not
waste much time. With a wave of his
hand to encourage his friends, he dips
his spoon into the soup-bowl, conveys
the rich gravy to his mouth, and in this
he is at once initiated by all his guests.
This dipping goes on until the bowl
is empty, when another dish makes its
appearance, consisting of some sort of
hash. Then comes outlets and fowls,
which are eaten with the fingers. And
now comes the critical moment for you.
if you are present at this feast as q
stranger. You. as a European, will
have placed your meat on your plate,
and will be carefully cutting 1t up,
when suddenly u more than ordinarily
juicy morsel will be pushed into your
mouth by pair of very juicy fingers.
You must not resent this; it is token
of loving kindness, sign that you are
respected, esteemed, beloved. Eat it;
you are favored mortal. Vegetables
and pastry succeed, followed by pastry
end "pillaw." Then water is poured
over your hands, coffee and cigarettes
come, and your dinner is finished.
