GRANT AND ueCoOK.

Grant seems to have made mis-
take in alleging that Con. McCook
asked at Shiloh to be relieved OF
the fatigues of further fighting
Grant says:
"Vvhen the head of the column
came near where l was standing, ii
was halted, and the commanding
officer, General NJ. D. McCook rode
up to where | was and appealed to
me not to send his division any
further, saving they were worn cut
with marching and fighting This
division hid marched on the 9Th
from point ten or twelve miles
east of .S,vanah, over BAD roads
The men had also lost rest during
the night while crossing the Ten
nessee. and had been engaged in
the battle Of the 9TH. It was not
however. the rank and file or the
junior officers who asked to be ex-
eused. but the division com
mander.'
We believe that time will show
that it was really McCook 5 splen-
did fighting that saved the day at
Shiloh. In his ofHcia report of the
battle, page 252, Gen. Sherman
says:
am ordered by General Grant
to give personal credit where it is
due and cenSure where | think it
was mer;ted. | conccde that Gen
eral McCnok' splendid division
from Kentucky drove back the en-
envy along the Coriuth road, which
was the great central line Of this
battle. There Beauregard com
msnded in person supported by |
Braggs. Johnston and Breckin-
ridges divisions.
Ia another place he says:
The enemy had one battery close
to Shiloh and another near the
Hamburg rna /. both pouring grape
and canister uo,n alv column of
troops that advanced toward the
green point Of water oaks. Will
lch 3 regiment had been repulsed
but whole brigade Of McCook's
division advanced beautifully and
entered these dreadful woods. =

the battle to Gen. Gilman says.
We are proud Of the regiment.
the Sixth Brigade, and the Second {

brave commander, and yourself who t

Col. Gilman in his report says: {

1t is against COMMON sense to

Beauty Behind the TEAPOT.

I lr washington Letter.
| The teapot SINNERS in scores of houses
| every afternoon, and tea-drinking is now the
popular mania and dissipation. In some
houses one member of the family is generally
kept busily occupied all afternoon in making
and pouring tea, and of Miss Tillie Frelirg-
huysen, who is always enthroned behind her
tea table at entertainments in her fathers
house, Mr.. George Bancroft says that she is
entitled to " coat arms all her own bear
ing the device of teapot. Apretty woman
never looks better than when seated behind
tea-table, set with shining equipage and
rows of dainty cups. English breakfast tea
Is the fashionable leaf now, and as MANY of
the fair brewers say, there is more pleasure
in making than in drinking that herb-favor-
ed stuff. In general the tea is stepped in
small silver pot and made of triple strength,
SO that each cup has to be- filed up with boil
ing water from the silver or brass teapot that
is always steaming over an alcohol lamp in
the middle of the table. Mrs Hit and Mrs
Adams, whose teas are famous, make each
cup separately, the dry tea leaves being put
in perforated silver ball pendent from
long chain. The ball is dropped in the cup,
boiling water poured in and the tea ball is
stirred about until the decoction assumes the
right color and strength. This is quite the
prettiest way of making tea, and girls who
appreciate the chance for coquetries and tab
leaus that the rite affords are enamored with
the tea ball, providing always that there is
some gallant man about to handle the burn
ing silver when it is necessary to empty and
refill the ball Huge brass samovars for
boiling water on the table have been brought
over fr pm Russia for several families, but
the bother of lighting the charcoal in the cen
trail cylinder and getting steam up in time
renders them reallys nuisance to the own
ers. The wife of the Russian Minister ban
ishes the samovar from her tea-table and
substitutes pretty silver pot over an alcohol
flame.

The Austrian Crown Prince.

From Review of Count VaSili s Letters.
Next in rank comes Grown Prince Rudolph.
Highly educated gifted with an extraordinary
art, science and literature, the crown prince
is the favOrite of the nation. Naturally
for he has not yet aa-ended the throne) he
has not a single failing;" which is perhaps
written sarcastically, for some heirs apparent
have failings enough. At the opening of
the Vienna electric exhibition the prince
used phrase in his maiden speech which was
at the time reechoed by the press and is still
fondly cherished in the hearts of the nation
Austria" he said, ''would spread an ocean
of light over the world" By that single
phrase he conquered the heartssof his future
subjects and, considering what part Austria
plays in the world, it was audacious enough
to be remembered. A handsome volume of
sketches of his travels in the East, recently
published in this country, is the last produc-
ton of Crown Prince Rudolphs facile pen.
He counts b friends among the scholars of
the Vienna and BUDAPEST universities,
which have conferred on him the degree of
doctor, as well as among simple journalists
and musicians Like his father, he is pas
sionately fond of hunting. Of his wife, the
crown princess, Archduchess Stephanie,
Count Vasii says she is ''the prettiest, the
most accomplished of princesses.
Smiling, talking, playful, fresh in body and
soul, she is the incarnation of young
enchantress and finds her way to all hearts"

A New MaIady For NIurderars.



The acquittal at st. Petersburg of Mile.
Semenova, accused of being implicated in
the murder of the child Sarah Becker, has
been the cause of scene closely resembling
that witnessed at Paris when Nine. Clovis
Hughes was restored to her admiring friends
The reason, however, for the acquittal of
the Russian lady differs greatly from that
which saved Nine. Hughes The evidence
all through the trial was dead against Nine.
Semenoya, and it would have Jared badly
with her but for the declaration of an ex-
pert, M. Balinsky, Russian mad-doctor
who, pointing out to the jury the hysterical
bearing of the culprit, persuaded them that
she was suffering from "psycopathy and
therefore morally irresponsible. For the
benefit of those who are ignorant of the
meaning of psychopathy-at term which before
long will be naturalized in our courts-we
give NJ. Balinsky's explanation of the new
malady. ''The psychopath," he says, sis
type which has only recently come under the
notice of medical science. 1t is an individ-
ual whose every moral faculty appears to be
Of the normal equilibrium. He thinks 1ogi-
cally, he distinguishes good and evil, and he
acts according to reason. But of all moral
notions he is entirely devoid.
Beside his own person and his own interests,
nothing is sacred to the psycopath, &c. &C."
The short and the long of it seems to be that
10 IL eSotlsm Is fully developed In human
being he becomes ''morally Irresponsible
a very convenient doctrine, to which, how
fully developed psychopath is discov-
ever, mankind will have to add
as eorollary that whenever
cred he shall be Immediately hanged.

ONE OF sMARK TwAIN's" WOES.
"Mark Twain" is said to feel much dis
turbed by the decision made by United
States Circuit Judge Colt against Estes &
Lauriat, book publishers, of Boston, and he
has reason for feeling that while law may be
upheld by the decision his rights have suf-
fered. Mr.. Clemens tried to prevent Estes
& Lauriat from selling one of his books at q
price smaller than that which had been fixed
for its sale by subscription through canvas
sing agents. He alleged that these agents
had bound themselves by contract with his
publishers to sell only to subscribers and at
his price. He claimed that the defendants
co1ld only obtain the book from his agents
in violation of the contract which the latter
had entered into with his publishers, and
could not sell it at reduced price without
invading his rights and -injuring his inter-
ests Estes & Lauriat admitted that their
source of supply was the complainant's agents
but denied any knowledge of the contract be-
tween such agents and the authors publish
ers any fraudulent intent.
Judge Colt declined to forbid Estes &
Lauriat selling Mr. Clemens book at such
price as they might FIX upon. In the abb
sence of any notice of the contract, he says,
the defendants had right to buy or con-
tract to buy books from agents who lawfully
obtained them by purchase from the plain
tiff or his publishers, and had a right to ad-
vertise for sale and to sell such books at any
price they saw fit. The plaintiff may have a
right"of action against his agents for the vio-
lation of their contract, and from all that
appears they might be enjoined from doing
what they had covenanted not to do. But it
is not claimed that the defendants were in
any way parties to that agreement or inter
ested in it.
How Mr.. Clemens can keep the price of his
book up now remains to be SEEN He has
got good prices for his books hitherto, and
he naturally does not like to 'scome down.
And as there does not seem to be any good
reason why he should we hope that he will
find way out of his difficulty. The case is
Of interest to all who make, sell or read |
books. |

NEW HAVEN CONN. MORNING. FEBRUARY Ii, 1888.

SO far destroyed eyesight that telescopes and
other artificial aids have become necessary
Mr.. Brudenen Carter read an interesting
paper on this subject at meeting of the So
cisty of Arts in London. Dwellers in
towns, the speaker pointed out, rarely or
never looked at a distant object, and the
townsman's eyesight is hopelessly inferior to
that of the average Scotch forester, who,
again, is surpassed by the savage. The
chairman of the meeting related an anecdote
to show how, with all the advantage which
science can provide, Englishmen are still
less well equipped than the Zulu, who never
heard of an aid of vision. A gentleman in
Zululand, by the aid of powerful BIZ
nocular glass, made out two distant objects
on the horizon: One was a larger speck than
the other, and he guessed that this was
mounted man whose companion was walk
ing. The Zulus with him looked in the di-
who the gentleman was, and that he was ac-
companied by his wife on foot
Lord O'Hagan, whose death was recently
announced in his 72d year, mad a career of
remarkable good fortune. He left his native
Belfast poor boy to enter on the struggle
of life at the bar, and being a strict Roman
Catholic and industrious he contrived to Sc
cure the good opinion of the late Cardinal
Cullen, who appointed him his legal adviser.
Acting as species of representative of the
Church he rose through the Cardinals influ-
ence severally to the positions of Solicitor
and Attorney General and to a Judgeship of
the Common Pleas, and was M. p for Tra1ee
in 1S63-65. When the act passed enabling
Roman Catholic to fill the position of Lord
Chancellor, Mr.. Gladstone was anxious to in
augurate his Irish administration by appoint
ing one and selected Judge O'Hagan. He
was a howery orator, but by no means an
able lawyer, and his inefficiency subjected
him to the constant sarcasm and derision in
open court of Lord Justice Christian, his col
league in most cases, who was admittedly
the ablest living equity lawyer. In one of
his visits to London in 1871 he happened to
meet the young co-heiress of Col. Townley of
Townley, one of the Oldest Catholic families
in England, who had q fortune of $1S0,000
year, and, though he was over go and she
only 90, she told Lady Georgiana Fullerton,
who was present, that che was just the man
she wished to marry" and SO the marriage
took place. This large fortune relieved him
from necessity of work. He was an amisble,
good man, very stupid in society, rs he could
well afford to be.
