'sNEyER MIND THE HAT, MY BOY. :,

a Miner from the Gunnison and General
Sheridan Talk Over War Incident.
From the Denver (Col) Tribu1e.
It is only natural that great generals
who commanded thousands of men in the
late was should frequently meet with men
in different parts of the country who cherish
some incident Of was life with which
private and general were closely connected.
It is doubtful if General Phil. Sheridan.
whose famous twenty mile ride to Win
chester has made his name familiar in eyery
household, ever met man who brought
up pleasanter "reminiscences than brown
faced, hardy miner did in this city day or
two ago.
General Sheridan was idly saunter ing
up and down the lobby of the Windsor
Hotel deep in thought and complacently
putting at his Havana and blowing the
white smoke into pretty little rings. Sud
denly rough looking man, with face so
heavily bearded that one could see nothing
but the twink,ing black eyes, approached
him, and raising his hat with an awkward
embarrassment said:
Good morning, General"
The hero of Winchester returned the
greeting, touching his cap with military
politeness, and then trying to peer through
the miners heavy beard to get glimpse of
his features, the general added:
I'm afraid I've forgotten your face,
SIR"
The eyes of the man from Gunnison
twinkled brighter than ever as he remarked: !:
It's not unlikely, General, sein's we met
but once afore, you wouldn't be so apt to
remember me as am you. It's seventeen
years since saw you last. Things has
changed since then. It was on the battle
field of Cedar Creek. Don't you remem-
Der the soldier that gave you his horse
when yours was shot from under you by a
shower Of canister from the masked bat
teries on the brow Of hill?' and the old
man looked up with eager pride into the
generals face.
That I do. answered the general, with a
pleased interest and a brighter flash in his
eye; I remember it we'll" !"
L was that soldier, continued the miner,
proudly. remember the circumstance
well, Sir. When you put the spurs to my
horse and galloped of, you left your hat
behind you, and called to you as loud as
! could, but you replied, never mind the
hat, my boy. I've got that hat yet, gen
eral It's hanging in my cabin In the
mountains, and the rough fellows eyes
glowed with pleasure.
Sheridan grasped his hand and led him
to seat, and for half an hour they fought
the battle of Cedar Greek over again.

British View OF Population.

from Uno AOnQOn spectator.
The gigantic fighting strength of Prussia,
before which nations have gone down, was
developed before her population exceeded
15,OOO,OO0. Napoleon conquered Europe
with 28, 900, 900, and was crushed when he
controlled 5O,OOO.O0O. Britain emerge
from the great war in which she defeated
him with 100000 only-less than half
her present numbers whom nearly half
were disaffected Irishmen. If the United
Kingdom were reduced in the next ten
years by passion for emigration to 20. .OOO.-
900, but had in the interval been compelled
by some grand panic to adopt stringent
cOnscription, she would, as far as material
strength is concerned, hold her empire
twice as easily as she does now, and be in
fnitely more secure. Organization for war
is not tie noblest object, or indeed, unless
independence be endangered, noble one
at all, but 1t is a rough test of national
strength, as national strength is estimated
by historians, and sr tested. Prussia
under Frederick, with her 5, ,OOO, 900, was
stronger than the United Kingdom is now.
He kept 10000 splendid soldiers fighting
for seven years, for much of the time against
allied European monarchies. disposing Of
1,2 lO, 600 white soldiers Could we, with
our institutions do it? Our 'sgreat past his
tory, of which Jingoes are always talking
was transacted by five or six millions Of
people. We were not FIVE when we held
down France for half century, and not
ten when we founded the marvellous group
of colonies, who, with only 5000 defeated
us, and now, as the United States, bid de-
iance to the world. That, we shall be told, !,
is because of their increasing numbers; but
the facts would not be altered, now that
they have reached the level imperatiyely
required for the development Of their pos
sessions, if they never increased man.
A great fleet would make the Union more
potent in the world than another 20, ,OO0, 600
of wheat producers. <5

Evils of Tight Lacing.

In reply to young Lady s"plea for tight
lacing, which need not be inserted here, we
quote from Miss Oakey's Beauty in DRESS"
merely promising that Miss Oakley as an ar
tist has devoted years to this study: ''Any
woman is too tightly dressed who cannot
raise her arms straight up above her head
and clasp her hands; who cannot stoop to
tie her shoe or pick up pin, thout
heightened color. Tight lacing unrelent-
ingly INDUCED, like painless poison, saps
the beauty, the grace, the brains. the life,
from its unfortunate victims. Tight -lacing
is not only hideous stupidity, it is crime
"a crime that casts heavy burden upon the
next generation, and renders the present
one incapable Of it's duties. It makes all
the movements Of the body angular and
stiff. It ruins the digestion and the circu-
lation, and consequently the complexion,
which we all know is one of the greatest of
feminine charms. It INJURIES the sight and
the color and tie expression Of the eye.
