TAKEN AT HIS WoRD.-When Gen
cral Sherman's army was at Goldboro,
n. c., General Sherman made visit
to the headquarters Of General How
ard. While there General Sherman
felt the need of a small draught of
whisky to drive off the malarial effects
Of the climate on his system. Now all
the officers of the army knew of Gen
eral Howard's rigid temperance pro-
cliyities, and were strict in their res
pect for them. General Sherman
knew that there was no whisky in
General Howard's quarters, and, there
fore, did not mention his wants to
General Howard. Presently Dr.. John
Moore, the medical director, came in
and after little conversation General
Sherman gave him the wink and said
"Doctor, have you seidlitz powder in
your quarters p The doctor answered
that he had. General Howard spoke
up and said General Sherman it is
not necessary to go to the Doctors
quarters F.; | have plenty of seidlitz pow
ders here, and good ones, too; l will
get you one." If there was anything
in General Howard's quarters that
General Sherman did not want, it was
a saidlitz powder and therefore he
said to General Howard "Never
mind, general; give yourself no
trouble" Howard was then getting
the powder and glasses of water ready.
81 will be going by Moore's quarters
after awhile" DR.. Moore was great
wag, and quickly took in the situation
and became q party to the joke on
| General Sherman. He said to Gen
eral Sherman: "By the way, general,
l don't think l have seilditz powder
in my quarters, and you had better
take the one General Howard has
By this time General Howard had the
powder all ready fer use, and handed
the glasses to General Sherman.
Rather than offend Gen. Howard by
saying that he meant whisky, he drank
the foanling stuff down, much to his
own disgust, to the satisfaction of Cen
eral Howard and to the amusement of
the staff.
