sherman on the War in Egypt


Special to the Cincinnati Commercial
WASHINGTON, August q. General
Sherman, ON being Intercepted inlre.
gard to the news from the East, said
that Sir Garnet Wolseley is not only a
soldier of great ability, but that his
late movement upon Ismailia was
equal to anything of a similar charac
ter undertaken By the first Napoleon.
1t will be remembered that General
Sherman, not many years since, visited
the scene of the present hostilities in
Egypt, is perfectly familiar with the
theater Of operations, and during our
civil war hada great deal of experience
in flank movements. He says that
Wellesley showed great nerve in taking
the sacred bull by the horns, SO to
speak, without waiting for the result
OF negotiations at Constantinople.
"Ah, he is a great soldier, that
Wellesley" said the General enthusi-
astically, ''agreat soldier. The Eng.
lish people will pay him well, and he
knows it."

How The ZUniS Didn't Kill
Cushing.

In Mr. Cushing's earlier days in Zuni
his sketching caused ii secret resolve to
kill him for practices that might bring
disaster to them all. 1t was to be done
at great dance that was soon to come
off. He sat upon IL neighboring house
top with sketch book in hand. when
two hideous figures among the dancers,
painted diabOlical black, came to the
foot of the adjacent ladder and pound
ed upon it with their war-clubs, shout
ing out something which caused the
multitude to look toward him. He
thought it ii .iocular part of the per
Torrance, and smiled good naturally.
But he understood enough of the lam
guage at the time to distinguish the
cries among the crowd: xiii him
kill him ~ 1t was part of the per
Torrance to kill symbOlical Navajo,
the NavajOs being the ancient enemies
of the Zunis. Mr.. Gushing had no idea
that he was east for the part of that
Navajo, and did not comprehend the
real gravity of the situation until he
heard the women echo the cries eyes,
kill him kill him :" The people rose
up and looked his way. The assem-
blage was silent with expectation. He
glanced behind; there was Il wall of
dark figures trOwning down upon him,
half muffied in their blankets, and
standing as immOvable as statues. The
twin tiendS below made ready to come
up the ladder. Mr.. Gushing now saw
that his life was really threatened. A
thousand against one. Attempt mt es-
cape was hopeless. He thought his
last moment had come, and i'll his
heart was terribly frightened. But to
give way to fear was useless, and some
thing told him to face the danger cool
ly. SO he leisurely laid down his
sketch book. placed a stone upon the
leaves to keep them from blowing III
the wind, produced Il new hunting
knife which he had just brought back
with him from Fort Wingate, where he
had been on a trip-nobody knew he
had it and flouriShed it, at the same
time breaking ont into Il loud defiant
laugh. The evident GOODNESS of the
act, his boldness in facing them, took
his asailants aback; they paused, and
uttered Il word meaning, ga spiritual
friend that is Il friend possessing SUI
pernatul characteristics, making him
more than Il common earthly friend
qualities which would bring good to
them as a people. "A spiritual friend
we must not kill spiritual friend ~
cried the two; "but we must kill ii
Navajo" they shouted. So out of the
court they rushed i'll search of a Nava-
10. A few minutes, and fearful yelp-
ing was heard. In they rushed, drag
ging Navajo" i'll the shape of a great
yellow eur half paralyzed with fright.
They stunned him with their clubs {:
before he was dead they had him dis
emboweled, and in their frenzy were
ravenously eating the smoking vitals.
Mr.. Gushing looked on in gratitude
that he was not just then in the place
of that dog, playing the part of Ma
vajo. But the event turned out to be
the most fortunate thing for him; it
fixed him i'll the affections of the whole
tribe, and from that day was to be da-
ted his great influence in Zuni.- Har-
