A Confederate Anecdote of Gen.
Sherman.

Gen. Joseph E. Johnston who COM.
handed the confederate forces engaged
in resisting the advance upon Atlanta,
once narrated the following incident,
which we'll illustrated the impression
Sherman had made upon the minds of
the southern soldiery at that time as q
commander of resources and ready ex-
pedients. Johnston stood on Kenesaw
mountain watching with his glass the
movements of his enemy's wagon trains
on the great plain to the northward. A
staff officer came riding up with the
news that the rebel cavalry had got in
the rear Of Sherman's army and had
burned a number of railroad bridges.
The of6cer'had been forced to make q
ierour of two days to get around the
Union army. Scarcely had he finished
speaking when q whistle was heard, and
J moving train appeared in the
distance, showing that sher.
nan had already rebuilt the bridges

of them: "We'n make it a Moscow
campaign and destroy his whole army"
: How III you make it q Moscow cam.

enthusiastic comrade. 81 mean that
we'll cut his communications, DESTROY
everything and starve him out. Well

with him?" "Well, we'll blow up the

Making Work Easy.

There1is in most families a great deal
Of hard work at best; and some women
have no idea of making their burdens
lighter. One Of the first things I would
say to such women Is, have proper
utensils. You have nc conception IT
the ease of cooking with proper things
ifyou have got along year after year
with anything. We will say that you
have had a hard forenoon: there has
been everything to do, dinner time is
drawing near, and there is still work OH
hand that a few moments would finish.
You have potatoes 10 boil, shell beans
10 warm W. Cleft from yesterdays dln-
ner), tomatoes to stew. and pudding to
make. You start in q hurry and ran
sack the pantry to find dishes suitable
for all these things. Two or three
leaky tins present themselves.
At last you find just one
whole one. Now see the fix you are in.
Time is flying along; the men will soon
I've in, and have to stand around till dan
Ter rs ready, as you can do only one
thing at a time; or rather two, tor you
can poil your potatoes in a kett Q. Luoh

all sizes, you select two, suitable for
your beans and pudding sauce, and iron.
q shelf e by take a porcelaln-lineu
kettle right for your tomatoes, and Ill u
twinkllng your dinner is going on anu
you can finish your work. l said you
could boil your potatoes in a kettle; j
you are wise you will not. You can buy
tin pans of all sizes, with loo &C. fitting
covers, that are just the neatest and best
things to cook in you ever used. No
black kettles to lift and wash
any more for me! For fifty cents You
can buy the three sizes needed in a
small family, and for fifteen cents you
can buy three more smaller II 8 with.
out overs. Then you must have u mix
ing bowl, and pudding dishes Of two or
three sizes, and if any become broken or
worn out, have them replaced immedi-
ately. If the good man breaks a hoe or
a shovel, does lac go without?
Then, finding yourself armed ans.
equipped, commence in season to &c,
your meal. There is nothing that will
fret me like getting behind. AS fast az
one dish Is cooked and ready for the
table, wash the utensil it was cooked in.
When you are cooking-baking more
particularly-have a dish. pan in some
convenient place half full of warm soapv
water, and when you are done with a
dish. wash it. Then, when your baking
is finished, you will moi have q table or

Guarding GIadstOne.

AS an illustration of the care with
which Mr.. Gladstone is guarded at bis
home i'll Hawarden, the Manchester
Examiner and Times tells the following
anecdote: "1t was after dusk, and an
officer posted near the castle espied a
figure approaching on horseback. When
the horse had come to within a few
spaces of the police officer, the latter &C.
costed the rider with Good night No
reply being made. the officer seized the
horses head and refused to allow the
stranger to proceed a step farther With
out stating his business. To his bewiider-
menthowever. the Stranger said he was
staying at the castle, and that he was the
Duke of Westminster. The officer at
once released his hold of the horses
head. and was most profuse in his apo.o.
gies to the duke, repeatedly expressing
q hope that he had notinsulted his grace.
Ihe luke assured the officer that such
was not the case, because he had only
done his duty"
