The New York Sun calls on Gen.
Sherman to publish the wo'letters
he wrote to Gen. Hancock in Decem-
Der, 1876, after the meeting of Con-

begun to assemble the troops at
Washington. The San makes the
point that the history of that criti-

election. AS matter of course that
is their cry; but what is really the
matter with them is that they have
not been able to verify their repeat

Democrats are "disintegrating." The

ABOUT the time that Gen. Han
cock fought the battle of Gettys-
burg, Gen. Garfield turned his back
to the front and went into politics.
About the time that Gen. Hancock
issued order No. 40 at New Orleans,
Mr.. Garfield was negotiating at
Washington with Cakes Ames for
the shares in Credit Mobilier, on
which he afterwards received a cash
dividend of 1929. Some of our Re
publican contemporaries are fond OF
drawing comparisons between the
careers of the two candidates, "as
soldiers and as statesmen" These
coincidents can not fail TO afford
them interesting material for study.

Animal Longevity.

A TORTOISE which died in the Bishop
of Petersborough's garden in 1921, was
more than two hundred and twenty
years of age, and one belonging to Arch
bishop Laud died at the age of 1913
years. AS to fishes, the pike has been
said to live for two hundred and sixty
seven years, and the carp for two hum
dred years. It is hardly probable that
the gigantic salamander may live for q
greatly prolonged period, and frogs and
toads are probably long-lived animals,
small as is their relative size. A toad
has been kept for thirty-six years with
out showing signs of age, and then died
through an accident. Whales have
been supposed to live from three to four
hundred years. The life of an elephant
is said to extend beyond one hundred
years, but of this there seems as yet to
be no certain evidence. Birds, as Great
ures at once SO active and warm-blood-
ed (and thus COMPRISING, as it were,
much life into small period }, might be
expected to be short lived. Yet parrots
have been kno:,: to live for upward Of
:.century, and i,ulicans, geese, and crows
may exceed the period commonly allOt-
ted to man. But, however commonly
three score years and ten may be the
term of human life, man can certainly
both live and retain his intellectual fac
ulties more or less beyond one hundred
years. Yet horse is generally old at
thirty, and is not known to have ever at
tanned twice that age. The life of sheep
is about fifteen years. duration, and
that of dog from fifteen to twenty, al
though allied animals are much longer
lived. Thus the lion called Pompey,
which died in the Tower of London, in
1850, had lived there no less than sew
enty years. Extremely varied, then, is
the duration of the life of individual or
ganisms. Not less varied are the rela-
tons to time of the lives of races and of
different groups of animals and plants.
Species. genera, families, orders, and
classes of animals and plants differ ex-
tremely as to their period of duration,
some of each of these groups appear
ing to have been but short-lived
compared with other divisions of similar
rank.-&. G. Mozart, IN Contemporary

The Indiana Mill Owner VIVA Wished
To Know His Fortune.

Timothy Worton and Mary Worton,
his wife, the gypsies who were arrested
in Brooklyn on Il charge of having stolen
50, $50 from William jessop, Wealthy
mill owner of Princeton, Indiana, while
pretending to tell his fortune, We're be-
fore Justice Gilbert in Brooklyn ycstcr-
day. on writ of h:deas corpus.
District Attorney C;.llin said that a
rcqnisiiion for the prisoners was expected
by every mail, and Justice Gilbert re-
mandcd the prisoners until Monday.
William Jcssop, who says he was
robbed by the gypsies, was in court. He
is about forty-scvcn years of age. has
blue eyes and long black whiskcrs, and
| was dressed like Il Western farmer. The
gypsy woman approached him and en-
dcavOrcd to draw him into conversation,
but he said, "You robbed mo of my
money, and didn't do right by me. /
don't want to say anything to you now"
Mrs. Worton said that she had promised
to return at a future time and tell the
rest of his fortune, and then she expected
to restore the money, and she intimatcd
that if he would not press his complaint
She would finish telling his fortune, and
give him back the money she promised
MIR. Jcssop refused to talk with her, and
she and her husband were taken back to
Jail. ...-~
MIR. Jessop said to reporter that the
gypsies had been around Princeton,
Ind. for two or three months before
he Was robbed, and that as they had
bought quantity Of cloth from his
wooden factory, and had promptly paid
for it, they had gained his confidence.
II looked upon them,'' he said, "as
being upright people, who intended to
be fair, or would not have had anything
to do with thom. They had told fortunes
about the town, and had told some things
that were true; and as was a widower,
and the gypsy woman promised to tell
me of some women who wanted
TO get acquainted with me, yielded,
and she then said she must have
$4,000 to bring about the revelation of
the future. She seemed fair about it,
and said that the money would never
leave my sight; SO I got 1850, and she
| tied my handkerchief about it. / didn't
open the package after that, because sho
said that it would break tho charm, and
can't tell exactly when she substituted
the other package, but I do not believe
that it was until the last time saw her.
Then she went through lot Of motions
with her hands, and kept turning around
and looking away, so that l think she
got q chance to make the change.

had been broken up, and then found
that she had got Q handkerchief exactly

"What part Of your fortune did tho
eyDsy tell yOup,'

Well, She was going to tell me who
the women who wanted to get acquaint-
ed with me were, and then about some
money that was coming to me. She told
me some things about myself that were
all true. l don't know how she did it?''
Anything she could not have learned
from your neighbors?"
Come to think she didn't, guess
row that she didn't tell me thing that
she couldn't have heard about me. You
see, had met with some losses and had
good deal of trouble, and so I wanted
to know about the future. Twas robbed
once of pile of money by burglars, who
got into my house,"
Was the safe broken openP'
II didn't have no safe. The money
was atwixt two beds, and was asleep on
the beds. They reached under and got it. >
Mr.. Jcssop expects to take steps to at.

to recover at least that much of the lost
money. The prisoners will be taken
