sherman,s OPINION Of Grant.

IGen. J. ?. Wilson in The Century.I
One by one the staff officers had With
drawn to their tents. for Sherman was AN.
owl, always ready TO make a night Of It,
and they saw that he was well under way
toward it upon that occasion. A dark and
solemn forest surrounded US, and q dead
silence had fallen upon the sleeping army;
not a sound except that of the measured
tread of the sentinel in front Of the
generals tent disturbed the quiet Of the
night Twelve O'Clock had come and
gone, and l o'clock was at hand, when
there came a pause in the conversation;
then a moment of reflection on the part
of Sherman, whose deeply lined face and
brilliant, sleepless eyes l sec now as
plainly as | did then, turned toward and
lighted up by the red glare of the blaziug
logs. and bright with intelligent and
energetic life rt&.
Then cam a quick, nervous. upward
glance at me, and then the following re.
mark: @Wilson, l am a great deal
smarter man than Grant; l see things
quicker than he does. | know more about
law, and history, and war, and nearly
everything else than he does; but I'll tell
you where he beats me and where he beats
the world. He don't care a d for
what he can't see the enemy doing, and it
scares mt like h" And this vigorous
and graphic speech is the best description
of the fundamental characteristics and
differences of the two men | have ever
heard. 1t shows not only a profound self,
knowledge On the part of Sherman, but a
profound. comprehensive. and discrimin-
ating estimate Of the personal peculiarities
of Gen. Grant; for it is true that the lat.
ter was never scared by what the enemy
might be doing beyond his sight.

WASHINGTON, Nov. ga con-
siderable number Of senators, repre-.
sentatives and public officials, as well
as many distinguished citizens Of
Washington, have called on the presi-
dent to-day, to urge him 10
reconsider his determination to
attend the funeral Of the vice.presi-
dent. Their argument has been not
that there would be more than the
ordinary danger involved in the pro-
posed journey, but that the emergency
is such that it is his duty to the coun-
try to avoid any possible risk Of &C.
cident to bis life and health until
Congress meets and a presidential
successor is provided for.
Large numbers of kilograms to the
same effect have been pouring in upon
the president to day from leading men
in all sections Of the country including
one from the Hon. Samuel j. TildeD,
and a number from distinguished
friends Of the late vice president at
Indianapolis. At a late hour
this afternoon the following was re-
ceived from Mr.. HoTd, his law partner
and intimate friend:
"INDIANAPoIIs, IND, Nov. %.
ITO the President.
"Mrs. Hendricks requests me to
thank you for your message Of sympa-
thy, and also Miss Cleveland, for her
kind and beautiful letter. She
requests me to say that your
presence at the funersl Of her
husband would be very grateful to her
feelings, but that she fully appreciates
the weighty public reasons that exist
at this time against our coming west,
and begs that you will be governed
entirely by your sense Of public duty.
OSCAR B. HORD."
1t is understood that the president
has not yet concluded to abandon the
trip, although he said to a caller to-
day that the matter was being
presented to him in such a way. and
from such sources, as might induce
him as a question Of duty to forego
the journey.
While it is not positively settled it
is pretty well understood that Secre-
tarys Bayard, Whitney and Endicott
and Postmaster. General Villas will
attend the funeral.
Attorneys General Garland expected
to be detained by important business
before the United States supreme
court, but as that tribunal has
adjourned over, and as his annual
report is almost completed, it is now
thought he can also arrange to attend.
1t is not at all likely, however, that
either Secretary Lamar or Secretary
Manning will be able to leave.
They are both at work on
their annual reports, and the former
has several important matters before
him which it is essential should be
settled before the meeting Of congress.
Secretary Manning is very much
behind with his report, and will
have to work on it night
and day, in order to complete it in
time. A Democratic member Of 0 n
gress is authority for the statement
that every justice Of the U. S. supreme
court and every Republican senator in
Washington has advised the president
not to go to Indianapolis.

New England.
BOSTON, Nov. 27-The storm which
has ragged for several days subsidized
yesterday. At Crescent Beach, the
principal hotel was almost completely
demolished. The tide tore down the
piazzas, and as the waters rose higher
the surf broke with full force against
the side Of the house. The entire front
and side were dashed to pieces by the
force of the waves, which reached as
high as the second story. lighthouses
without number were carried away.
The rain changed to snow, and the fall
in Vermont and New Hampshire is
very heavy, varying in depth from one
to two and a half feet, while in some
sections there are great drifts, which
seriously impede travel.

bricks memorial meeting will be held

some time this week. The Columbia
Democratic Club will send a delega-
ton to Indianapolis to attend the fu.
neral.
A regular meeting Of the cabinet
was held today. Ali the members
were present. The presidents message
so far as completed was read and
unanimously approved. 1t is said to
be an unusually strong paper, contain
ing many new and valuable sugges-
tions.
The question Of attending the fu-
neral Of Vice-President Hendricks
was considered and two or three of
the members Of the cabinet said that
it would be almost impossible for them
to leave the city, without neglecting
many matters, which it was important
should be settled before the meeting
of Congress. The President express
ed his determination to attend
the funeral. Ills message was
almost ready and could easily be COM
pleted on his return from Indianapolis.
1t was finally decided to leave the
matter to the entire discretion of each
member, with the general understand
ing that all who, consistently could go
would do so. The party will probably
leave here Monday morning.

Crop Condition.

WASHINGTON, September 10.-The
September cotton report of the Depart
ment of Agriculture shows the preva-
lence of hot and dry weather during
August, except in Louisiana, Aissis-
slppi and Florida. Shedding of balls
and decrease of vitality have resulted
quite generally. The drought has been
serious in Texas and Arkansas, and
quite general in Western Tennessee,
Southern Alabama, Georgia and the
Carolinas.
The caterpillar has caused much
damage in southern Texas, Arkansas
and Central and southern Alabama.
Its prevalence is noted throughout CEN
trail and southern Georgia, with snail
effect as yet. The ball worm is causing
much damagein the black belt of Ala
bama and in Arkansas and Texas. The
condition has declined in every States
The average is 81 against 96H in August.
Last year it was 81 in September ana 81
i'll August, The present average is two
points above the September average OF
ten years.
The condition of spring wheat has
been impaired since the LIST of August In
u
pal productions. Heavy rains were fol-
lowed Nv extreme heat between the first
and middle of August, just before har-
vest, shrivelling grain and causing
rust. Heavy windstorms Frustrated
and injured large areas. In Nebraska
there is some complaint of smut and
little in Dakota. Chinch bugs have
done some damage in Wisconsin and
Minnesota. The injury was greater in
August than in July. The averages
are, for Wisconsin II. loss of points;
Minnesota rs, loss of 5; Dakota So, loss
of 4; Iowa 8S. loss of 7. Northern New
England, Colorado and the Territories
are nearly or quite up to 100 The
general average for all spring wheat is
S61z against 80 in August. The crop
of last year was 156.000,000
bushels. Returns of winter wheat
are almost identical in results
with those of July. There is slight
advance in Michigan, Texas, Maryland
and some other States, and point or
two decrease in several. The general
average is So, As against 65 in July.
Except as the result of threshing may
changed the present expeJ tation the
winter wheat area may be placed at
2l7 600 900 bushels, and the remaining
area at about 1874 ,OOO, 900. If the injuries
reported in stock should prove greater
than at present apparent, few millions
of reduction might still accrue.
The condition of corn still continues
high, ranging from 90 to 100 in State
averages. The general average is 50
against SO in August. 1t was "a last
year in September. Frosts have wrought
very little injury and will he capable of
little if deferred ten days. The prospect
is still favorable for crop slightly above

How on Cloth Is Made.

The palette of the artist who paints
the bright figures upon oil cloth is a
round revolving table, about ten feet in
diameter, with checks of red, yellow,
brown and other colOrs in row around
the edge. The artists brush is a block
eighteen inches square. There may be
seven cOlors in the pattern. If 50, he
uses seven blocks. Round whisks the
big circular palette, down presses the
block, ''thump, thump, thump," goes
the iron mallet, and the ochre and the
vermillion are impressed on the burlap.
The foundation of the goods is burlap
made of jute. All of 1t is imported
from Dundee, Scotland. Ii is coarse,
gauZy, substance. You can easily see
through it. Its first treatment is starch
ing.
1t runs ever twenty-five steam drums,
and is thoroughly impregnated with the
pioca. Then the ground paints put on
"a brown or perhaps tan color. The
best goods receive seven coats of paint.
After each coat, the cloth goes through
a securing machine, which works the
paint In and smOoths it. Then the prin-
ters take the cloth and stamp the figures
on it. The printer stands before table
on which the cloth is laid. Each color
is put on separately. A block contain
ing the lines for all the red used in the
pattern Is lald on the thin bed of paint
on the revolving palette, above desert
bed, and then carefully stamped on the
cloth. The first impression leaves the
skeleton of the figure.
When the artist has turned his palette
around once, all the six or seven colOrs
have been stamped on the piece, and the
patterns appears in its entirety. Then
the cloth is moved forward and the pro-
cess is repeated for another row OF
figures. The blocks are made OF rock
maple Printing is an operation that
requires nicely of touch and experience
The printers are paid by the piece. A
god man can print three 81 yard pieces
in day. After having been printed,
the cloth goes to the bakery" where
it is hardened by being dried on racks
in a hot room. The next process is
vanishing and the last is trimming. 1t
is SIX or eight weeks after the burlap is
starched before 1t is we'll hardened and
packed for shipment.

The Tower of London is locked up
every night at eleven O'Clock. As the
clock strikes that hour the yeoman por-
ter, clothed in long red cloak, bear
ing huge bunch of keys and accOmpa-
MED by a warder carrying lantern,
stands at the front of the main guard
house and calls out, Escort Keys"
The sergeant of the guard and five or
six men then turn out and follow him
to the outer gate. each sentry challeng-
ing as they pass with, "Who goes
there?'' the answer. Keys" The
gates being carefully locked and barred,
the procession returns, the sentries ex-
acting the same explanation AMI receiv-
ing the same answer as before Arriv-
ing once more at the front of the main
guard d-hOCse. the sentry gives a loud
stamp with his foot and asks, "WhO
goes there?" keys" Whose keys?''
''Queen Victoris's keys" Advance,
Queen VictOria's keys, and all's well. "
The yeoman porter then calls out ''God
bless Queen Vlctorial' to which the
guard responds, amen" The officer
orders, Present arms" and kisses the
hilt of his sword, and the yeoman por-
ter then marches alone across the parade
and deposits the keysln the lieutenant 3
lodging.
