"Who has been the most successful
operator during the yearf'
William Vanderbilt, d. O. Mills
and Jim Kecne. Vanderbilt has got
more money than all the men in this
street put together. You see very
wild stories printed about the resources
of the large operators. tell you
that Vanderbilt's pile is bigger than
the whole Of them put together. Next
TO him, probably, comes Russell Sage,
who has more money than Jay Gould.
Sage has saved Gould once or twice.
Two years ago Gould was practically
broke and had to surrender his Union
Pacific stock to make settlement.
lie had been bearing Northwestern
and on the compromise had to give up
Union Pacific, for which he had paid
par, or nearly so, at sixty.fve cents on
the dollar. That is why he is out of
Union Pacific. Vanderbilt, Mills and
the rest are buying il up"
"What do you consider Jim Keene
to be worth, with oil his SUGGEST"
"Seven million dollars at the out
side. 1t is more nearly apt to be
somewhere between three millions and
five millions. If he has got seven
million dollars the best judges here are
deceived. Russell Sage has got about
twelve million dollars. Mills is a
rich man and prudent one. lie
told me In a recent conversation that
he was out of the street and was going
into real estate. He has bought ell
this Pssperty along Broad street and
is about TO put up an immense Office
building, and he has bought lots on
both sides of the city opposite and
above the park, Vanderbilt has also
been large buyer Of real estate.

RICHARD SMITH, DEACON, REPLIES TO TE
CunsEn SHERMAN, GENERAL.
From the Cincinnati Gazette.
No soldiers were surprised and bay
oneted sleeping in their tents at Shi-
loh. Soldiers are not asleep in their
tents at that time OF day.
No regimental commander was sur
prised by the attack so that he had
not got his command into line to re-
ceive it.
All questions of surprise which
make these conditions may be dis
missed
The military question is: Was the
commanding general surprised by the
attack Did he look for attack
Did he make dispositions to meet NJ
tack Was the army in such shape
as he would have put it in if he had
thought attack possible?
As to this we need not take the let
ters of correspondents, written at
Cairo" nor of volunteers who broke
and ran, but we have abundant evil
dence in the statements of General
Sherman.
These show the following:
First-lle was acting upon the
theory that we we're the attacking par
ty, and, therefore, the Confederate
would not be so foolish as to come and
attack US.
Second-The several divisions were,
by his order, placed so that they were
not within supporting distance. could
not form connected or supporting
line of battle, aud left between diyi.
sions a space n mile wide into which
the enemy marched.
Third-Gen. Sherman says that the
first sign he saw of an impending at.
tack was when the Confederate line
opened on his vision, as far rs the eve
could reach, at 8 o'clock on the morn.
ing of the 9th. Yet the enemy had
been getting into position for attack
through the 4th and 9th.
Fourth--Gcn. Sherman was the last
officer of any rank to fluid out the
danger of attack, and he had scohcd
at the regiment and brigade command
ers who had reported to him the evil
dence.
Sixth-No disposition Of the army
had been made to rcpel attack. Ii
could not form n connected line OF
battle. Its artillery was not in posi-
ton. Noarraugemeuts had been made
for supply of ammunition. Each di-
vision, or brigade, or regiment had
had TO fight on its own hook, in condl-
tions where separation had let in tlc
enemy to the flauks and rear.
II this be not n surprise of the com
manding general, what would be re-
quired to make a surprise The men
were not surprised. The regimcn;al
aud brigade commanders-mpstly vol
untecrs-werc vigilant. The fighting
of these raw troops, under such cir
cumstanccs, was wonderfully hard.
No one has cast any reflection on the
courage of those VOLUNTEERS except Gen.
Sherman. The regimcutal aud brig
ade commanders kept out pickcts a
far as they were allowed TO. Several
of them were snubbtd by General
Sherman for their activity. Il was a
surprise to the commanding general,
but yet one which he seemed to have
planned.

Thomas Paine's Female Medium.

The alleged spirit of Thomas Paine WIS.,
tied the earth the other evening, in Phila-
delphia, and through woman as medium
delivered a speech to an audience of sew
eral hundred people. The medium is pic
turesquely described as a masculine-!ook-
ing woman with closely cropped
head of hair, plentifuliy besprink-
led with. gray, square, deter
mined jaw, and a voice that Is between
falsetto and the. bass of q Deep chested
man" Among many other entertaining
facts the audience learned through her that
the "Age Of Reason" was written between
the hours of 10 o'clock in the evening and
IN the morning, and that the prison cell
was lighted by an unseen power to enable
Paine to do the work. After the lecture
was over q tall man. Of an inquisitive turn
Of mind, arose in the back Of the hal, and
asked if Thomas Paine wns the author o1
the letters of "Junius." This question
staggered the medium at first, but finally
with an apparent effort, she answered
"Yes, sir, and the gratided. audience dis
pcrEed.
