GEN. SHERMAN IN TROUBLE.

WAsIIINGToN, Jan. ia contro-
versy which grew out of the publica
ton of Gen. Sherman's "Memoirs,"
and has continued for several years,
will now bc decided by the courts.
After the publication Of these memoirs,
Gen. III. v. Boynton, correspondent of
the Cincinnati Gazette, In q series of
letters to that paper compared Sher-
mans assertions with the ofiicial re.
cords and dispatches, and detected
many xemarkable discrepancies and
hlunders In the book. Gen. Sherman
In particular claimed for himself tho
credit of originating the celebrated
ssMarch to the Sea-" Gen. Boynton
asserted that this march was q part OF
Gen. Grants original plan OF campaign
and that to Sherman simply belonged
the credit of executing the movement.
At the request of friends of officers
who served under Gen Sherman, and
also at the suggestion OF Gen. Grant,
made by his private secretary, Major
Babcock, Gen. Boynton enlarged and
compiled his criticisms In book form.
Gen. Sherman was greatly annoyed by
this publication. In a recent inter
view, which Gen. Sherman knew was
intended for publication, no said thnt
BOynton was persistent and energetic
In manufacturing falsehootls, man en-
tirely without character, who, for a
thousand dollars, would .slander his
own mother. . ..l.g
In q letter to the National Republi-
can this morning Gen. Boynton says:
"I am we'll aware that such charges as
Gen. Sherman makes cannot be dis
posed of by simple denials, I therefore
ask the privilege of saying, through
your journal, to Gen. Sherman, and so
many of the public as talxo an interest
in tho matter, that will select a tri-
bunal and II form of action which,
without infiicting any personal indig-
nifty, will afford him ample oppOrtun-
ity to establish the truth of his charges,
or, If he fails, will exhibit him to all
the world as reckless slandorer." ("
Gen. Boynton will ut once bring
against Sherman a civil suit for Sian.

The New York Star has been re-
viewing Bob Ingersoll's recent work
'Some Mistakes of Noses" and arrives
at the following conclusion: "Other
skeptics there have been who COM
manded our respect for their sincerity,
and won our admiration for their
learning. AS rule they were sad men,
in whom the exaltation of the intellect
had failed to convince them of the
importance of their own destiny. But
this man has no other mission than to
dance on the ark of the covenant and
take the name of the Deity In vain,
because shallow people will mistake
irreverance for bravery and blasphcmy
for humor.'

The Widow of President Tyler petit
tions Congress for pension. She de-
scribes the impairment of her fortune
and asserts that at the present time it
is so reduced that she has scarcely any
thing left to live on. After citing the
precedent set by Congress in providing
for Mrs. Lincoln, she refers to the long
public service of her husband and the
fact that he left the White House
poorer than he entered it, and throws
herself upon the generosity of the peo-
ple's representatives.

Nihilism seems to be spreading in
the Russian army. -Four officers in
one regiment were arrested three weeks
ago on a charge of disseminating revo-

subordinates, and distributing pamph-
lets prohibited by the authorities at
st. Petersburg. Seditfous prints and
documents were also found at the Off
cers' lodgings. Two officers who had
assisted eight political prisoners to es-

districts where Nihilism was discover
ed in the regiments special courts
martial have been established,

ENCOURAGE IMMIGRATION.

Chronic croakers are not expected to
encourage any movement or enterprise
calculated to advance the interests of
the community. We expect them to
attempt to discourage all movements
surprised to hear them ssrunning down"
the country and remarking to all new
comers, ssyou will wish you had never
seen this country before the year Is out"
But there are Others, who are directly
interested In the development of our
resources and the appreciation of the
value of property in our country, and
are sincere in their expressed desire to
see immigrants coming to our country,
but who allow their cupidity to get the
better of their Judgment; and while
extending them a cordial welcome and
lauding the peculiar advantages of our
country, do more to discourage and
disgust immigrants with the country
than all the croakers combined, by at
tempting to extort from them all the
money they bring with them; asking
from two to four prices for everything
they wish to buy. .........,... Ia !.
Such men do not seem to compre-
hend how they are to be benefited by
immigration unless they can possess
themselves of what ready money the
Immigrant has ON his arrival; are too
short-sighted to see that the main Pc
cuniary advantage to be derived from
immigration is tho bringing into
market and enhancing of the value of
real estate. They belong to the 'spen-
ny wise ahd pound foolish" class, and
would have been the very ones to
have killed the tabled goose that laid
the golden egg; and are those who care
not who sinks so they swim.
They would not Intentionally dis
courage progress and enterprise, but
they cannot let an opportunity slip to
'sturn an honest penny" though it
should balk all the enterprises that
could ever be placed on foot.
Away with such folly and cupidity,
aud let US encourage immigration by
displaying real spirit of cordiality
aud liberality towards those who are
attracted to our country by its fertile
soil aud genial climate. Sell or lease
them land on good terms, and do moi
ask them more than the market price
for supplies. ..... .....

Dead in the Ruins.

The reckless fashion in which New
York tiremen risked their lives forty or
fifty years ago is well shown by an Incl
dent which occurred during the great fire
OF December 16, 1885. The memorable
confagration broke out on a bitter cold,
but clear and starlit night. The first
alarm was struck from the City Hall, the
principal bell in the Fifth District
"Thirty-four" engine was the first on the
scene, and wheeled into line at the sue
ton, loot of Wall street. Four other en-
gines rapidly took up hose connection,
until at last the fire was reached.
Itspread rapidly, and broke through
the block. Another line was formed, and
in the new distribution of engines the
Thirty four" was placed at the head,
next to the fire, which by this time had
reached the Merchants Exchange, now
the Custom House. A number of the
men of that engine went into the build
ing to tend the ''pipe," as it was called.
While they were so engaged, the walls
gave evidence of lettering, and their fore
man cried out to them:
"Back, boys, back out! She is COM
ing down; lack out!'
Seeing their danger, they all obeyed-
at lest, it was supposed that they all
debut one of them, as he was hurry
ing from the building, dropped his leath-
er tire-cap.
He turned to pick it up. The walls
fell, and he was never seen again alive.
Four days afterward his brother, saun-
tering leisurely INTO "Thirty-four's" en-
gine-house, said, casually, referring to
him:
"Any of you fellows seen Bill latelyP'
"No, amt he home9" asked some one.
"Ain't been home since the big fire. -
was the brothers reply. Thought he
must be laying round the engine-house."
Upon this closer inquiry was insti-
tuted, and it was discovered that the I'M
fortunate fireman had never been seen af-
ter the Merchants Exchange fell. A
search was made, and his body, without
scar or wound upon it, was found be-
tween two granite pillars in the rnins OF
the building. He had been suffocated.

colored race. She gave sudden scream
and pointed to the pond, where white
mist had slowly formed and had risen in
to tall, constantly changing column,
which looked In the moonlight, like q
colossal human figure.
"See! The ghost! The ghost" she
said, and as Pedro loosed his hold and
stared at the spot indicated in momenta
nv terror, she ran toward the bridge with
the fieetness of deer.
With savage yell Pedro followed,
forgetting his fear of the specter IN his
rage at being outwitted by his intended
victim, he was rapidly gaining upon
Dora, who had nearly reached the mid
die of the bridge, when his foot caught
upon a broken plank. and he fell head
long into the water overt he low railing,
which was all that protected the sides OF
the rude structure.
Dora heard the sudden stumble. and
then the dull, heavy thud into the water,
but she was too frightened TO stop her
fight.
Suddenly from out of the woods on
the other side of the bridge there came a
patter of flying boots, and something
white flashed into view.
With a cry of JOY she recognized Snow
ball with Frank upon his back, riding
toward her as though running race for
life.
"Oh, Frankm she gasped, and sank
faintlng before him.
He had started out to meet her, and
had stopped SNOWFALL in her mad run,
and fearing that Dora had been thrown
had lost no time in fastening to her re-
lief.
When she awoke it was in her own
pleasant, lavender-scented room, and Mrs.
Omar was bending lovingly over her.
"Oh, mother, she said, putting up her
arms and drawing the kind face down to
kiss it, eve had such a dreadful dream!"
eyes, DEAR" was the soothing answer,
''but you have been very sick, and must
not talk. Some time you shall tell me
all about 1t. Drink this now and go to
sleep again"
Dora obeyed, and was soon drifting off
again into the beneticient realm of slum-
Der.
1t was several days before all came
back to her clearly, and she realized her
narrow escape from dreadful fate. As
her memory grew stronger, she recalled
to mind the sounds of the stumble and
the fall: and she realized with a shiver
of horror what had undoubtedly been her
enemy's fate. Bat the haunted pond
told no tales. Its peaceful looking wa
tiers shone on in the sunlight as calmly
as ever, and all the dread secrets held by
its treacherous bosom will remain undis-
covered till the end of time unless I'M
earthed by some CONFUSION of nature.
Years have passed by since Frank and
Dora took upon themselves the holy
vows which made them husband and
wife. Chubby children have come to
make the old farm house ring with their
innocent glee. The rude bridge of planks
across the haunted pond has been re-
placed by one of solid masonry. But
Dora never passes the place without a
sudder. For all the happy intervening
years have not blotted eut the memory
of those few dreadful moments when she
was in the power of the revengetul and
unscrppulous negro whose career was
there brought to such sudden close.

GLADNESS.

The world is full of gladness
To those who own its power;
1t sparkles in the sunlight
And blossoms in the flower;
1t chances with the streamlet,
Adown the verdant hill,
And MARBLES with the wild-bird,
Amid the forest still.
It wrinkles in the dew drop
Within the flowers bell;
1t breathes in gentle murmurs
Where the pure waters swell;
1t dances in the tree tops,
The clinging buds above,
And whispers in the zephyr,
Like the soft breath of love.
Then why forever sorrow,
Through cares and griefs like ours,
When every blissful morrow
Wakes fairer, brighter flowers?
While sweet and bounteous nature,
Is redolent with Joy
We may all live in gladness,
Though grief ana good alloy.
