Lieut-Gen. Sheridan on the Army

Lieut-Gen. Sheridan in his annual
report to the Secretary of War, says
that although the Indian question, so
far as hard fighting is concerned, is
now practically eliminated from mill
tary considerations, the control of In
dian reservations in sparsely settled
sections and the encouragement which
should be given to actual settlement
involve conditions in the settlement of
which the services of the military in
the West cannot be safely dispensed
with for many years to come.
Gen. Sheridan continues: The disci-
pline of the army is excellent, and /
have no schemes to present for its re-
organization. The cavalry should be
fostered and we'll cared for. If i'm
prOvements in guns of every calibeI
continue to be as rapid as during the
past fifteen or twenty years, and good
magazine rifle be finally attained, bat
ties will become so destructive to
| human life that neither side in wal
will be able to stand up before the
! other. Armies will then resort to the
spade, the pick and the shovel both
sides will cover themselves by in
trenchments, and any troops daring tC
make exposed attacks Will be annihi.
lated. The old methods of reducing
fortified places by means of regular APP.
proaches will be overturned by the
revolution caused by the introduction
of modern explosives; the large force
will have to encircle the smaller one
and the length of time the beseigeC
can hold out will directly depend upoI
their supplies of food and ammunition
This condition of affairs will, hi
thinks, greatly prOlong wars, and tn,
natural result will be that eventually
the character itself of warfare will be
come changed. Questions at issue be
tween countries will then have to b
settled either by arbitration or by wag
ing war, under a new code, on tn
enemy's commerce upon land. Flo
this kind of warfare men upon horse
back will be indispensable. Since
then, we have so good place at For
Riley for all purposes of cavalry, a
establishment worthy of our grea
country should be developed there
and our cavalry be prepared to take il
part, when needed, in the new phas
which warfare may assume in tn
future.

For the Smyrna Times
A New York Renaissance.

Hannah Kenyon, of SchagticOke,
New York, was eighty-nine years old
the eleventh day Of August, 1884. For
fifty years she has been member of
the Society of Friends of Easton,
Washington County, New York. She
has spent nearly all her life on or near
the old homestead.
Twenty years ago her husband was
called to the final rest after a compan.
iOnship of nearly fifty years. OF her
ten children only four are living, One
the eldest-dying in infancy, three
in childhood, aud two in middle life.
Under her care the old home was a
type of prosperity, hospitality, comfort
and peace. She still has good use of all
her faculties, and until within year
she has kept the care of her home and
taken great pleasure and pride in max
ing and baking her own bread. A few
weeks ago she cut and made dress
for herself with no help except the
occasional threading of a needle. Her
habitual care and neatness in her dress
is still characteristic. The fourth
daughter, Elizabeth, remains at home
to be care-taker and ministrant.
Yesterday auntie brought the little
flax wheel from the garnet and put it
! in running order so that grandmother
could spin for Willie. He had seen
the wheels and reels up stairs and was
very curious about them. Auntie
could explain almost everything tc
! him, but he wanted to see grandmother
/ herself spin fax as she used to do.
1t was picture never to be forgot
ten. The dear, old grandmother in hel
ninetieth year, with her white hail
and her face all lighted up with the
animation that old associations re
called, sitting by the little wheel il
her low chair, spinning with perfect
ease and skill. The afternoon sunlight
lay still and warm across the floor
The low, cOntented hum of the whee
which had sped on and on for many
day at the will of the same spinner
aroused so many memories it was Gkt
a story to listen to the relating o
recOllectiOns. But the story of lif
time is soon told, after all, and as tn
wheel ceased each one realized anew
that it all was of the past. The child
rem all grown up and away, part asleel
with the father in some "Silent City
and their sleep so deep that no familia
sound, not even the calling of thei
own names, would awaken them. S.
the twilight fell and we, the repre-
sentatives of four generations, wer
busy with our own thoughts and VIII
could comprehend them, for they reach
ed through century
Is there no mOnitiOn here for us VIII
are fretted with our daily labor an
care? All lives end soon or late il
utter silence and rest. While we ar
laborers and burdened with care sha
none of the peace and calm which
eternal abide with us? Is there II

that at the last no anxiety, no effor
no stirring of ours can stay for one in

ness of " full eternity?"

THE FIRST SNOW.

Gay bloom the flowers in Springtime set,
And streaky apples linger yet;
Twas Autumn but week ago.
Why, then these fakes of Winter snow?
summers last rose they disarrayed,
The while she dreamed in peace to fade.
One swallow was inclined to stay;
The white fiecks frightened him away.
Winters cold shock who first endure
Think him unkind and premature:
Complain the Summer was TOO brief
And mOralize DER each dead leaf.
But as he grips with tirmer hold
We grow more careless Of the cold.
Joy in the sparkle of his snow,
And nestle by his tiresde glow.
Dismayed, we note the first gray hair,
Soon others cOme-we cease to care:
Then gray, Outnumbering the brown,
And soon white Winter settles down.
And when from youth we've passed to age
We've learned our lesson page by page,
To take what comes for veal or woe
And never fret about the snow.

A prophecy comes ringing down the
lines from one of our acknowledgements
could the mad-men who hang and
burn st. John in effigy look down the
future, they would see their children
building a monument to his memory.

of tomorrow - Union Signal.

Important action was recently taken
by the Grand Lodge of Free Masons of
Ohio, declaring liquor-selling to be a
masonic crime, which will be sufficient
ground for the refusal of Masonic fell
Iowship. This shows the development
of moral feeling in the world, and di-
rect influence upon great social or
ganization for we may hope that if
this principle is accepted in one quar-
ter, it may in time become universal.

HORSE REMEDY. Prof Brown, in
the Journal of the Royal agricultural
Society, gives a simple remedy for colic
or gripes. Combine equal parts of
sweet spirits nitre and laudsnum.
Give three tablespoonful of this mix
ture in about half pint of water, or if
the case be a bad one take a pint of
linseed oil instead of water. Walk the
horse about for half an hour, and after
this, if the pain continues, give sec
ond dose of the above mixture with
water. A half pound or more of Ep-
som salts dissolved in warm water is
also a good thing, and this can be re-
peated if the first dose does not prove
effectual. If horses are properly fed
and watered they will scarcely ever be
troubled with collie. Keep them also
from long or sudden exposure to cold
especially when warmed up by rapid
exercise.

Merchant TaiIariHa.

We have a very full
stock of the finest Foreign
and Domestic Suitings to be
found. Our Cutters and
TailOrs are the best. What
we have said about prices
will the more readily be seen
in this department, as any
business man can readily
see how we can afford to
make them much lower. We
do an immense trade and
hope to increase it, we are
sure we will when the people
find us out, as many have
done. We are now making
great preparations for the
Fall and Winter trade, and
want everybody to know it
and come and see us.

The next session of Congress will be
likely to take up the railroad question
and, we trust, with more intelligence
than that body has heretofore shown
in regard to this important question.
The fact is the great railroads of the
country have not shown themselves
capable of dealing fairly with shippers
and of controlling their own rates and
protecting the capital of their stock
holders. In senseless wars with each
other they sacrifice the money wrung
from shippers during the season when
the great governors of railway rates,
the canals and lakes, are not navigable

The odd Fellows Cemetery
OF
SMYRNA, DEL.

The Trustees of this Cemetery are now
ready to sell lots and issue deeds for the
same. The size of whole lot is 3Ox32 feet
and the prices are rs follows: For whole
lot. $50; half lot $50; quarter lot $50.
There is not q badly situated lot in the
Cemetery, but every one has choice Of
location, and there being but one price
according to size) enables those first select
ing to get their choice of location, and as
there have been several already sold, we
would advise those who have no place Of
burial that it will be to their advantage to
select them ms early rs possible.
This is undoubtedly the best location in
this vicinity for n Cemetery, being all high
and a nearly level piece Of land, beauti-
fully situated on the State road, within
sight of the town, and yet at such a dis
lance from it as TO guarantee that 1t will
never be used for other than Cemetery pur-

VOTED TO Whit is said an old
farmer near Brownsville. Berks COun-
ty, Pa, called his three grown sons to-
gether on election day and spoke as
follows: Now, boys, ever since you
have been of age you have voted the
Democratic ticket. All my life / have
voted the Democratic ticket. For
twenty-fOur years have been licked
on the Presidential question and every
time you have voted for President you
were also whipped. Now, I am eighty
years of age, and this no doubt will be
my last vote at Presidential election.
Now, if it suits you, and in your eyes
it is good, suppose all four of us vote
the Republican ticket, and so instead
of being on the licked side, why we
will be at last on the winning side.
would like to have the satisfaction OF
being on the big heap on my last vote
anyhow" The sons, to humOr the old
man, agreed to his proposition, and
that township made gain of four solid
votes for Blaine. At last accounts the
old man was extremely dOwn-hearted

for this number has been a surprise to
the publishers, the continued sale so
long after issue being very uncommon.
The edition of the December Century,

finer number, and in this they have
succeeded. The December number,
