sHERIDANTs ORDERS.
II is evident from Gen. Sheridan s
orders, February q. 1865, that Grant
did not contemplate a direct assault
upon Lees works in front OF Rich
mond and Petersburg The newt
able sacrifice of human life was too
appalling. Sheridan says in the re-
port referred to: Ny orders were
to destroy the Virginia Central Rail
road and the James river canal, cap
ture Lynchburg if practicable, and
then join Major General Sherman
wherever he might be found in North
Carolina, or return TO Winchester
but in Joining Sherman | must be
governed by the position OF affairs
after the capture OF Lynchburg.
The inference is reasonable that the
acknowledgement was meditatipg
the concentration of sheridan and
Sherman and a final investment OF
the Confederate capital, and this
view seems to have prevailed with
Grant as late as March %. 1865. for

\ dispatch from Philadelphia dated June
d, says Inventor Keeley's workshop
was crowded with curiosity-seekers to-day.
The interetheric hberator' and the latest
engine were the attractions. The former
stood upon pedestal, and rested upon q
bed of plate glass one inch in thickness. II
was connected 10 the engine by fine steel
tubes, and the aperture through which the
power Is transmitted was about as large as
a good-sized needle is thick. The engine
consisted of sphere resting upon two up
rights. Atone end Of the axle was a small
pulley. over which the belt passed. The
entire apparatus was apart, and the various
pieces were strewn over the floor when tho
gentlemen entered. Mr.. Kelley proceeded
TO put the 'liberatoT' together in their pres
ence, and half hour was consumed in
this. At about 3 o'clock the inventor
admitted bit of air into q wrought
steel tube and this was then
passed into the Gberator, where its
power was multiplied fifteen times in a
second. The air was pas ed through the
yitrators and intensified, and there stored
in a wrought-steel cylinder. The gauges
showed a pressure OF $500 pounds to the
square inch, and the tubes seemed to ex-
pand. The engine was started and run
for an hour or more. Planks were put
under il and pressed against it to decrease
the speed, but there was no perceptible
lessening of the revolutions. After this q
lever was lifted with two stout gentlemen
sitting upon it, and the gauges showed q
pressure of $1,000 pounds. The power was
applied to cannon of about an inch and
a half bore. and the bullets were spattered
IKE so much mud upon an iron target
Mr.. Kelley said that in about two months
he expected TO have his complete engine,
now building. ready. Then he would take
out his patents, and his work would be

A GIANT RosE.-At the new gardens
Whitby, there is now growing champion
rose-Tee, q Marechal Neil. 1t was planted
in 1865, 50 that it is actually twenty years
old. For many years it produced regularly
enormous quantities of roses, but 1t was
not till 1882 that the full number Of blooms
was counted, when no less than 900 roses
were recorded, In 1883 there was falling
off in the number of roses grown Of about
1000, and last year there was a still further
diminution, as only $50 blooms were
plucked. 1t was then thought that the
tree had seen its best days, and that, con-
sidering its age, its vitality was on the
wane. There is. however, more than suf-
ficient reason to believe that there is life in
the old tree yet. Since last year the pre-
prietor has devoted considerable attention
to the tree, and there is now a chance Of
his industry being rewarded, for, early
though it is, there are now many hundreds
of buds in various stages of forwardness,
and there is every reason to believe that
the tree this year will be more prolific than
ever, the proprietor estimating the number
of blooms at not less than 3,000.- London
