THE T., C. s. ST. L.


The Line Expects to Come Out All Bright if
the Crops are Good.
One of the officials OF the Toledo, Cincinnati &
st. Louis narrow gauge road admits, in CONVEX
sation with the railroad reporter of the Journal,
that heavy financial cloud hangs over the
property, but expresses the opinion that as soon
as President Phillips gets the road properly
equipped and his new officers working harmO-
niousv together they will begin to unload and
rapidly, too. should there be good crops this
season. He says that the higher
officials expect great thugs of their
new general freight agent, George Sander
son, and in answer 10 the remark that George
was all right, IL he e0uld be- held to main
talnlng rates and was not allowed To pay re-
bates, the official said the T., C. d st. l.. people
would maintain rares and as regards paying re-
bates; that they had their ill of that of doing
business. and there We're now vouchers out for
some $4,000, most of which were issued
to pay rebates, and these were really the most
Troublesome debts they had He remarked,
however, ttat 1t was due Mr. Beale the retiring
general freight agent, to say that hut few of
these Rebates were promised during his admins
traiion, hntthat freight agents before him, in
their anxiety 10 obtain business, had carried the
paying of rehafes TO extremes, or promises
10 do now. Now the better management had this
aVil to overcome.

GENERALS AT A GAME.
How Heroes of the War Amused Themselves
In Camp.

Edmund Kirk.
At Sheridan's I saw Rosecrans unbent.
The bow which is always bent loses its
power; so workers, such as he, wear out by
constant working The hour OF relaxation
is the hour to learn any man, and | tried to
study him. Sheridan had invented a game
he called Dutch tenpins." On the lawn in
front of his quarters between two immense
elms he had suspended a long rope aud to
the end of it attached a small cannon ball.
On the ground, midway between these trees,
was square board which held the ten pins.
The game lay in throwing the ball so that
it would miss the pins going out and strike
them coming back. To do this peculiar
twist had to be given to the rope by
the bending of the wrist and it seemed al
most impossible TO avoid hitting the pins on
the direct throw. Three throws were a game,
and only thirty strokes could be made. Sher
idau, by much practice, had become expert
at the play, and could make pretty regularly
twenty strokes, but novice did well if he
made ten. He soon challenged Rosecrans
and the dozen officers with him to enter the
lists Sheridan opened the play, cleared the
board twice, and missed it altogether the
third throw. Twenty" cried the scorer,
and another player took his place. He did
indifferenCly well. Others followed with
more or less success, though none came up
to SherIdans score"
"Now for the general" shouted the major,
laUElllnE' us I.OseGtduS Cook MS place. ne II
score thirty, sure"
Don't laugh until you win, my boy" an
swered the general with his peculiar smile.
Calculating deliberately the motion Of
the ball, he let it go. Every pin fell
on the direct throw. and a general laugh
followed. Not at all Disconnected, he tried
again and again, till he had played three or
four games with scarcely better success.
Amid the mock congratulations OF the whole
assemhlage, he at last sat down, and Garfield
entered the lists Its nothing but mathe-
matics," said Garfield; you only need an
eye and hand, and carefully throwing the
ball he cleared the board and scored twenty
three.
You can't do that again"
'Ill try" answered the modest brigadier
and he did do it several times in succession.
Il can do better than that" said Rose
Grams, again taking the ball. A shout of de-
rison followed the boast, but he quickly set
himself to work; and half dozen times in
succession made from twenty-five to thirty
Strokes"
