JOHNSTON TO DAVIS.
An Ex-confederate General's Partial Reply to
the Ex-confederate Chiefs Criticisms.

An ES-Sonfederate Generals Partial Reply to
the Ex-confederate Chiefs Criticisms.
Washington Dispatch 10 The ". y. Erening Post
General Joseph L. Johnston tells me to-
day, In reference to the disparaging state
ments which Jefferson Davis makes of him
in his (Dayis) recent book, that he has not
seen the book yet, but only such extracts as
some newspapers have published, as well as
the report of General Sherman's remarks I'm
Hartford. He said that he did not think that
when he came to read the book he should
feel it necessary to make any public state
'nent In contradiction of anything that Davis
may have said regarding him. He did not
believe that DAVIS could or would say any
thing refecting ON his personal character.
He, however, was quite willing 10 make such
a hasty and informal denial of Davis state
ments as brief interview would allow. In
the first place, in regard TO the charge that be
ought, after the victory of Bull Run, to have
aiken his army into Washington, he said that
that came of hue and cry raised at the South
a little after the battle. Davis knew very
well that it was impossible for him TO have
done 1t, because there was river mile
| wide which it was necessary TO cross before
the city could be taken. This was so palpa-
BILE fact that the idea entered neither his
head nor that of Beauregard; and if Davis
thought Of ii he said nothing Of il in the forty
hours that he was at Manassas. In addition,
the Confederate army was in no shape TO
undertake the task. The mass of the Con-
federate army supposed that the war had
| ended with that battle and were disorgan-
lied.
Iu regard TO another charge, that he had
yielded command to Beauregard, General
Johnston characterizes IT as absolutely false,
and added that If Davis had made such a
statement he made one which he must have
known was Incorrect. Touching the charge
that he had violated Davis orders and re-
| fused TO invade East Tennessee, he said he
did receive such orders and at time when
| IL was absolutely impossible TO execute them.
lie was la North Carolina with an army of
i forty thousand men, aud his orders required
him to provide wagons, horses, provisions
and other means Of transporting an army Of
seventy-fve thousand men. In order TO get
these necessaries most of them must have
coma from Atlanta and beyond. Sherman
was at Chattanooga with his army and he
would have prevented the execution Of this
plan. Johnston Informed his superiors that
the only way TO invade East Tennessee was
first TO receive Sherman's attack In the neigh
borhood Of Atlanta, defeat him and then
undertake the invasion. He moved his army
toward Atlanta, prepared for the battle, and
before the action took place he was super
ceded by Hood; and when Hood subsequent
ly evacuated Atlanta Johnston said that In
his opiuion the end OF the war was near at
hand.

A Muidoon SinLer.
San Francisco Post.

There is one good story they tell about
Hallenbeck, the young lay assistant, left
with us as legacy by Moody and Sankey,
which deserves to 60 on record.
Mr.. II. was preaching out in Hayes Valley
some three weeks ago, when the most solid
citizen in that section arose and proceeded TO
make few remarks. He rather pompously
told how he had become converted, and then
went on TO say that the revival had his en-
tire appreciation, and that he was, on the
whole, quite satisfied with the result accom-
plished. He hoped his example would
greatly encourage those around him, and Re
wished it understood that should It be need
ed he was quite ready to subscribe five hum
dred dollars to prevent the good cause from
failing.
After he had seated himself, Hallenbeck,
who appeared TO be listening with extreme
attention, turned quietly to congregation and
said:
@Is there any other miserable, repentant,
purseproud sinner who would like 10 say .

There was something more than smile of
peace as the prominent party looked q his
watch and quietly drifted ont.

Gloves Not Worn.
PhilndeLphia Times.


Heart-burning is feeble term for the
state OF anguish into which various strata Of
American snobocracy finds itself plunged
anent the fateful question Of gloves or no
gloves. Washington, where new notions
penetrate slowly, was astonlshed several
times during the season just passed by the
Inclusion of various travelled glasses Of fash
lou aud molds of form who made their way
into the republican court ungloved. This
was naturally an innovation that struck dis
may into the ranks Of capitolion society.
The contest waged violently for time, but
the ungloved invaders carried the day, and
the glove Is now solemnly abolished from po-
lite society. The fact illustrates the whim-
steal basis upon which conventions rest.
One day the Prince Of Wales, who Is very
stout and very fat, aud whose hands are not
comfortable In gloves, owing TO . disagreea-
BILE tendency 70 moisture, drove Off In . liur-
ry to hold levee for the Queen. On arri-
wing at the drawing room he found himself
gloreless. Ii was too late 70 send, and as IL
would not have been etiquette for the rest
1, wear gloves when the Prince had none,
the ceremony was gloyeicss one. Thence-
forth gloves were banished from the great
social ceremonies and even ON tile street.
The fashion has come To this country. Du-
ring the last two years gentlemen have ap-
peared everywhere ungloycd--in the street,
the drawing room. the opera aud the theatre.

PRINCESS OF THE SADDLE.
The Riders OF Iroquois and FoxhaII.

Archer, the chief jockey of England, is
remarkable pefsonage, petted like a prima
donna, the champion of sporting lords. and
his services are intrigued and paid for at a
rate of remuneration known only on the turf.
His movements are chronicied as carefully
as those of a prince Of royal blood. His
visiting cards are in constant demand. He IS
surrounded by host of parasites; his
mounts are backed to the shortest odds; his
opinion of the animal he rides Is almost
anxiously solicited by the owner and trainer;
while the gamblers who pin their faith to
him are pleased from even smile from bis
valet. Moreover he earns a larger income
than a PRIME minister. Archer's regular fees
are So for the mount IL he wins, SIS If he
loses and $40 for trial. In 1875 he won
la. Races; LA 1876, fse~won ee7; IN 1877, he
won 2ls; In 1878, 229; in 1870, 1877, and in
niiicant compared to the presents made to
him by owners of the horses he has ridden.
Gold watches, diamond rings, riding horses,
dog carts, yachts, suits of clothes, hats, cases
Of champagne, ETC., are quite common.
Money gifts accompany these smaller testi-
monials of gratitude. He got 5000 from
Mr.. Lorillard for winning the Derby, aud
Mr.. keene is to give Fordham $500 for
winning the grand prize of Paris. Still
larger sums than these have been given.
The jockey who won the Derby ten years
ago with Hermit, was presented with Sl5 900.
Archer travels from one race meeting to an
other in first-class carriage, probably the
companion of the nobemen by whom he is
employed. In winter he rides to hounds or
goes to town. LII 1876 he is reported to have
earned $4,000. Fordham, who rode Fox
hall, began TO ride in 1851. He retired from
the turf with fortune, and lost il in specu-
lation. He is, after Archer, the most popular
jockey Of the day, and has been called the
" Demon rider" on account of his extraor-
dnary energy in urging horse forward at
the end of a race.

A New Way to Haise Setter Dogs.
Henderson Tobacconist.


A citizen Of our community has fine lit
ter of setter dogs. He has been taking
special pains to give them good start in the
world, and to this end IL was his custom to
rise from his bed at short intervals to feed
them. II became rather tedious business for
him to :" crawl out during the cold winter
nights to attend to their wants, so he tried
new plan. Setting pan of milk in warm
corner behind the stove he went to bed, and
In the small hours the young CANNES called
for food. Thinking to make one job of it he
arose In the dark and carried the pan carful-
ly to the woodhouse, when, seizing each pup
by the nape Of the neck, he thrust its nose
into the pan, and when all had got to their
work returned to his bed. The next morn
ing he was aroused by his wife, who wanted
to know what In the world he had done with
her breadpan. Investigation followed; his
wife wet up batch of bread and set 1t be-
hind the stove to raise; this pan our shot "
had carried to the pups, and they, after
gorging themselves with the dough, waddled
back to tLeir warm nest. The yeast was
good aud the puppies rose, looking like so
many muffs, with the head Of the animal
used for trimming, while their legs aud tails
resembled Jumps on ali Early Rose potato.

THE INDIAN paosLEm.
zx-secretary sehurr Sums Up His Ideas Of
Rational Policy.
North American Rerie,c.

NOTm dWeTfCuH REVIEW.
/. The greatest danger hanging over the
Indian race arises from the fact that, with
their large and valuable Territorial posses
sions which are lying waste, they stand in
the way of what Is commonly called the de-
yelopment of the country.
2. A rational Indian policy will make 1t
Its principal object to avert that danger from
the red men by doing what will be most BEN
eficial to them, as well as to the whole peo-
pie, namely, by harmonizing the habits, oc-
cupations and interests Of the Indians with
that development of the country.
8. To accomplish this object 1t Is Of pres
sing necessity to set the Indians at work, to
educate their youth of both sexes, 70 make
them small proprietors Of land, with the
right of individual ownership under the pro
lection Of the law, and to induce them to
make that part Of their lands which they do
not need for cultivation profitable to them
selves in the only profitable way: BY selling
1t at just rate Of compensation, thus
opening 1t to general settlement and enter
prise.
The policy here outlined is apt to be look
ed upon with disfavor by two classes of peo-
ple--one hand those who think that "the
only good Indian is dead Indian" and who
denounce every recognition Of the Indian IS
rights and every desire to promote his ad-
vancement in civilization as sickly senti-
mentality; and on the other hand that class
of philanthropists who, in their treatment OF
the Indian question, pay no regard to sur
rounding circumstances, and suspect every
policy contemplating a reduction Of the In.
dian reservations Of being scheme of spoil,
alton and robbery gotten up spectators and
land grabbers. With the first class IL seems
useless to reason. As to the second, they dc
not themselves believe, If they are sensible,
that twenty-five years hence millions ot
acres of valuable lands will in any part oi
the country still be kept apart as Indian
hunting grounds. The question Is whether
the Indians are TO be exposed to the danger
OF hostile collisions and of being robbed o.
their lands in consequence, or whether they
are to be induced by proper and fair mean'
to sell that which, as long as they keep it, is
Of no advantage to anybody, but which, a.
soon as they part with it for a just compen.
sation, will be of great advantage to then
and their white neighbors alike. No true
friend of the Indian will hesitate to choose
the latter line of policy as one in accort
with substantial justice, humanity, the civ
ization and welfare Of the red men and the
general interests of the country.
