What One Big Chief Says About the
PrOwess of Another.

Gen. J.. E. Johnston said the other day
in an interview: There is nothing in the
history Of war that can equal many Of the
Of that important campaign
(his contest with Sherman. History does
not record such marvellous ability to over
come obstacles and prepare the pathway
for an army as were exhibited on many CO.
casions by General Sherman's engineers.
1t was just four days from the time they
reached the Chattahoochee River and
pointed out the standing timber to the
vigorous ax-men, before they had trains
moving across the river over . substantial
bridge several hundred feet long, built Of
hewn timber. Again, in North Carolina,
they marched nine miles q day, and COR
duroyed every foot Of the roads feat never
before approached in the history Of army
movements. General Hampton came to
me one day and said that he had obstructed
a cut In the North Carolina Railroad in
such a name as to prevent Sherman's
advance for some weeks; but we were
never able to discern that II In any way
interfered with his progress"

American Meat for Europe.

Less has been said than formerly as to
the extent OF our expectation of meat. but
statistics now published show that the ag-
gregate value Of the live stock and fresh
meat shipped from New York during the
year ending Nov. 80, 1881 was $40. sos, 800.
The value OF the fresh beef exported was
SIS, 6s8, 5l1, that of the mutton exported be-
ing $182, 2S7. The number OF horned
cattle exported was 80, 06s; the number Of
sheep 26. 441, and the number Of hogs 8, 1872.
The exporters prefer to send meat rather
than live animals, and II is we'll they do.

passage must always be great, and their
iesh must be injured somewhat 40 an

brought into a street car a perfect deluge

mopped one side of his coat with her

pint of the drippings in his shoe, could

A contract to lay 1,4oo feet OF pipe for

been awarded to George Gavin. The pur-
pose Is to exhaust by this means the foul
air from the upraises, wines and drifts.
The foul air has retarded work very ma
terially for the last month. One day last

been overcome by inhaling the noxious

There appears to be a general inclination
in Carson this year, says tho Appeal, to
disregard the universal custom Of social
calls. Quite q number OF the best FAM

Weather GrowIers.

Many Of those who were growing this
time a year ago because the weather was SO
cold, now complain that the season is all
out Of joint, and they predict e~pidemics,
famine, and everything else bad. They
say that for the mercury to stand at 60,
or thereabouts, at New Years, is unnatural,
and therefore improper. Granted. but is
it not a good thing the world over for the
poor to whom extreme cold brings greater
expense, and hence suffering and want?

Courtney wins Again.

The race between Courtney, Ton Eyck and
Dempsey for 81 900 was rowod yesterday on
Poplar Bay, st. Lawrence River, directly op-
posite Alexandria Bay, N. Y. Tho word was
given at 500, and good start was made.
Courtney at once took the lead, and at the
quarter-mie stake he led Ten Eyck by half q
length, with Dempsey half length behind
Ten Eyck. At the foot of Club Island, one
mile from the start, Courtney led Ten Eyck
one length, and was rowing thirty-two strokes
TO the minute, Ten Eyck thirty-four and
Dempsey was three lengths back OF
10 tn the my'A' minute. % At the turn GNea Ten
Eyck was so near Courtney's buoy that
Courtney stopped rowing and Ton Eyck turned
ahead. Time, 10 :d5. Courtney turned four
seconds later. Dempsey was long way be-
hind and turned the buoy in IL :d5. on the
first half mile OF the return, Courtney spurted
and soon took tho lead again. One milo from
the turn Courtney was one length ahead. He
and Ten Eyck were both pulling hard at the
rate of thirty strokes u minute, q slight breeze
having sprung up, making tho water lumpy.
mile and u quarter from tho turn, Courtney
was leading Ton Eyck by two lengths, and
he passed the home buoy an easy
2O:59x. Dempsey was fully half a
mile behind. The wind blew very fresh from
p. m. until 80 p. M, when 1t calmed down
somewhat, but tho course remained rough, and
the mon were not called till b;15 o'clock. At
this hour the water was not In good condition,
but the men were willing TO start and the
referee thought the race had better be rowed
Courtney at the finish seemed somewhat Out
| OF breath, and he said 1t was the hardest race
| he had ever rowed. Ten Eyck was quite OK
hausted. 1t was the opinion OF those on th'
| referees boat that Courtney could have made
better time had It been necessary. Consider
ing tho condition OF the water, however, the
race was declared satisfactory. About 5000
persons were In attendance.

The Moon.

On the 9th of this month, at o fow minutes
after midnight, the moon will show Its full
face. 1t is the beautiful harvest moon, and
possesses special claims to the distinction.
For owing to the position OF the elliptic In re-
gard to the equator at this season, the moon
rises for several consecutive nights with only
a comparatively small interval between the
successive risings. The short autumnal days
seem thus 10 be prolonged by the floods OF
silvery moonlight that mako the night beautI-
ful as day. The Providence Journal says:
"During this short month the observer OF the
planets Will and material OF unusual interest.
Venus and Mercury Will reach their eastern
elongatlons; Mercury VIII be In close conIunc-
tion with Spica, and make II near approach TO
Mars; Jupiter VIII be In quadrature; Venus
and tho crescent moon Will shine together in
the western sky, and tho full harvest moon
Will be the crownlng feature OF the nights OF
the carly autumn. Every night the aspect
Will vary. Never In the lifetime OF the OBJ
server VIII the same picture be repeated, and
within tho bounds OF our own system there ia
abundant work for the exercise OF the noblest
powers. But the sun and his family OF worlds,
OF such Vital Importance TO the human race, Is
