was full. He had entered the service
with no Fictitious advantage, and his
promotion, from the first to the last,
had been based on merit alone-with-
out the aid of political influence, with
out the interposltion of personal
friends. Criticism of military skill is
but idle clatter in the face of an I'M
broken career of victory. Gen. Grants
campaigns were varied in their re-
quirements, and, but for the fertility
of his resources and his unbending
will, might often have ended in dis
aster. Courage is as contagious as
fear, and Gen. Grant possessed in
the highest degree that faculty which
is essential to all commanders, the
faculty Of imparting throughout the
rank and file of his army the same de-
termination to win with which he was
himself always inspired. One pecu-
liarity of Gen. Grants military career
was his constant readiness to fight.
He wished for no long periods OF
preparation, lost no opportunity
which promptness could turn to adj
vantage. He always accepted with
out cavil or question the position to
which he might be assigned. He
never troubled the war department
with requests or complaints, and when
| injustice was inflicted upon him he
submitted silently, and did a soldiers
duty. Few men in any service would
have acquiesced so quietly as did
Gen. Grant, when at the close of the
remarkable campaign beginning at
Fort Henry and ending at Shiloh, he
found himself superseded by Gen.
Halleck, and assigned to a surbordin-
ate command in an army whose glory
was inseparably associated with his
own name. Self-controI is the first
requisite for him who aims to control
others. In that Indispensable form
of mental discipline Gen. Grant was
perfection. When he was appointed
acknowledgement, and placed in
command of all the armies Of the I'm
ion, he exercised military control ov-
er a greater number of men than has
any general since the invention of fire
arms. In the campaign of 1864 and
1865 the armies of the Union con-
tanned in the aggregate not less than
million men. The movements of
all the vast forces were kept in har-
mony by his comprehensive mind.
and in the great consummation which
insured union and liberty, his name
became inseparably associated with
the true glory of his country.-Bldine's
History.

w. IT. SHERMAN.

The character and ability of Gen.
Sherman were not fully appreciated
until the second year of the war. He
had not aimed to startle the country
at the outset of his military career
with any of the brilliant performan-
ces attempted by many officers who
were heard of for a day and never
afterward. With the true instinct
and discipline of soldier, he faith
fully and skillfully did the work as
signed to him, and he gained steadily,
rapidly, and enduringly on the con-
fidence and admiration of the people.
He shared in the successful campaigns
of Gen. Grant in the southwest, and
earned his way to the great command
with which he was now intrusted-
a command which in one sense in
volved the prompt success of all the
military operations of the govern
ment. Disaster to his army did not
of course mean the triumph of the
rebellion, but it meant fresh levies of
troops, the prolongation of the strug-
gle, and a serious increase to the
heavy task that Gen. Grant had as
sumed in Virginia.
Gen. Sherman was a. graduate of
West Point and while still a young
man had served with marked credit
for some II years in the army. But
he had more than military educa-
ton. Through a checkered career in
civil life he had enlarged his knowl-
edge of the country, his acquaintance
with men, his experience in affairs.
He had been a banker in California,
lawyer in Kansas, president of a
college in Louisiana, and, when the
war began, he was about to take
charge of a railroad in Missouri. 1t
would be difficult, if not impossible,
to find a man who has so thorough,
so minute knowledge of every state
and territory of the Union. He has
made special study of the geogra-
ply and products of the country.
Some one has said of him that if we
should suddenly lose all the maps of
the United States, we need not wait
for fresh surveys to make new ones,
because Gen. Sherman could repro
duce a perfect map in "a hours.
That this is pardonable exaggera-
ton would be admitted by any one
who had conversed with Gen. Sher-
man in regard to the topography and
resources of the country from Maine
to Arizona.
Gen. Sherman's appearance is
strongly indicative of his descent.
Born in the west, he is altogether of
Puritan stock, his father and mother
having emigrated from Connecticut,
where his family resided for nearly
two centuries. All the characteris-
tics of that remarkable class of men
reappear in Gen. Sherman. In grim,
determined visage, iH commanding
courage, in mental grasp, in stern
ness of principle, he is an ironside
officer of the army of Cromwell. mod
fled by the impulsive mercureal tenn
permanent which eight generations of
American descent, with western birth
and rearing, have impressed upon bis
character.-Bldine's History.

Adobe.

Many strange words are creeping into
our language, through the more init
mate relations new railroads are giving
us with the Spanish-speaking countries
south of the United States.
Rancho and corral have long
been part of the common speech of the
Southwest, and many other Spanish
words have become so naturalized that
soon we shall hear them without ques-
tioning their origin.

name applied to the bricks Of sun
baked clay of which the huts. novels
and walls of the lower classes of Next
co and New Mexico are made.
1t is also applied as generic term to
houses built of that material, and as a
term of contempt. 1t is shortened to
'.doby" by our frontiersmen. Prof.
Orion says it is derived from ''adoub, "
an Egyptian word, still used by the
Copts, carried by the Moors to Spain,
thence by the Spaniards to America.
In making adobe bricks. the clay Tor

spread out in great beds. then cut up
into cakes of the requisite size, or
pressed into frames of the shape de-

Many villages in Mexico and South

Next morning, Tommy was obliged

Next morning, Tommy was obliged
to rise earlier than usual; then he had
to eat with all the others; then he was
obliged to go and help make up those
little beds, as he was told he must do
something te pay for his nights lodging
and break fast: and his breakfast had
only been mug of dreadful weak cot
fee, and some oatmeal and molasses; so
different from his nice, rich milk, and
biscuit, and oatmeal and strip, he al
ways had at home.
When ne had finished the beds he
ran down stairs to the hail and began
looking for his hat. Mr.. Beal was
there.
"Where are you going, my boy"
he asked.
I'm going home" said Tommy,
promptly.
"Oh. no: you can't 90 home to-day"
said Mr. Beal.
Tommvs face fell, and he had hard
work 10 keep from crying.
But [ must go home,' he said: my
mamma and papa'll be very anxious, if
l don't"
"Oh, no. they won't" said Mr.. Bea.,
speaking gently and kindly. '1our
parents know where you are. of course;
your papa hunted you up last night;
but rs YOU chose 10 come here you will
have to remain at least three days.
Three days" screamed Tommy.
"Yes. and you won't go home then,
unless YOU are a very good boy.
1t seemed. for few moments, as il
Tommy would really burst with grief,
anger and shame.
He had been secretly disappointed
that his father had not rushed madly
into the house the night before. after
tracing him there: and his mother had
made him angry by not giving ten cents
to lind out where he was.
| But to think they knew he was in
that horrid place. with such coarse
! food, and such hard bed. no toys,
only a few old, greasy books; and had
/ to work. too!
No wonder poor Tommy was dis
gusted.
But at the end of three days, if you
could have seen what a suhdued, pen.-
tent little boy rushed into his papa
/ nice house, and his mammals dear
arms. l believe you would have done
just as mamma and Tommy did-crled

! And Tommy was another boy after
that. He sometimes got angry when
mamma said No" But he never
staid angry but a moment or two. and
