Between Two Generals.

In writing OF his Mexican war expe-
riences General Grant gives an inter
estlng contrast between Gems. Taylor
and Scott, as follows: II had now
been in battle with the two leading
commanders conducting armies in a
foreign land. Thecontrast between the
Two Wasvery marked. .Taylornev-
er wore auniform, but dressed himsel!
entirely for comfort. He moved
about the field in which he was opera
ting to see through his own eyes TIE
situation. Often he would be without
staft officers, and when he was accom-
panied by them there was no prescrih-
ed order in which they followed. He
was very much given to sitting on his
horse sideways, with both feet on one
SIDE, particularly on the battlefield.
Gen. Scott was the reverse in all these
particulars. He always wore all the
UNIFORM prescribed or allowed by law.
Wien he inspected his lines word
would be sent to all division and bri-
GAGE commanders in advance notify
ing them OF the hour when the com
manning general might be expected.
u was done SO that all the army
might be under arms to salute their
CHIEF as hepassed. On these occasions
ne wore his dress uniform, cooked hat.
alsuilietes, saber, and spurs. His staff
proper, besides all officers construct
lvely on his staff-engineers, inspect.
ors' quartermasters, etc.-followed
also IN uniform andin prescribed order.
ORDERS were prepared with great care,
ana evidently with the view that they
} should be q history ofwhat followed"

Wife Heater Punished.

A few days ago some ten or twelve wom-
en- at Tampico, u postoffice about twenty
miles north OF Yakima, Wash, took Harry
Roberts, the postmaster, out, tied him to
a fence and gave him n fogging after the
whipping-post style. Mrs. Roberts had
repeatedly complained to neiEhhors
that her husband was in the hab-
it OF beating her, and showed her
lady friends welts nd bruises to veryify
her story. Roberts was warned to Gesist
his brutal conduct toward his wife. Not
heading the warning given, the %neighbor-
ing women were aroused to such Il pitch OF
Indignation hat they gave him a taste OF
tic lash with all the latest improvements
and variations. Roberts l~ashings were
then cut, and the disgraced fellow quietly
mounted a cayuse and departed for places
unknown, much to the relief OF the unfor-
tunate wife and neighborhood.

The convention Of rabbis of the Re
formed Hebrew Church, in session at
Pittsburgh, adopted a platform set
ting forth their belief in one God, and
maintaining that Judaism preserved
this creed amid struggles and trials.
They hold that the antique laws re-
garding diet, dress, ETC., r foreign to
the present state of things; and that
considering themselves no longer a
nation, but a religious community,
they do not expect to return to Pales-
tine, nor to engage in sacriicial wor-
ship. They reject bodily resurrection,
and also the beliefin hell or heaven as
places OF future reward or punish
ment. A resolution favoring Sunday

and the matter was laid over. It is
proper to say that the orthodox
Israelites denounce all these things as
wrong and mischievous innovations
upon honored faith and practice.

why President Cleveland Did Not Attend
the Funeral.

President Cleveland was strongly. urged
by Senators and others OF both parties not
to attend the funeral OF Vice President
Hendricks, principally on the ground that
his life alone stood against possible
anarchy. l5lt on Sunday last Mr.. Cleve-
land said:
In the first moment OF the shock OF Mr..
Hendricks death, l yielded to my inclina-
ton and declared my intention to be pres
ent at the funeral. OF course, in reaching
that conclusion, 1 did not put out OF view
Il peremptory press OF public business, or
what Ideemed a sufficient consideration OF
my duty to the people. The public bust
ness, | thought, l could dispose oi by
additional application and more hours OF
work, and / considered ii to be my duty to
the people to answer a tender sentiment OF
respect and affection to the dead vice pres
ident, which does them great honor, and l
am satisfied now that was atfuult in con-
sidering the question in that l did not AXE
as comprehensive a view OF the duty l "
the public as l should; that is, l did not
look at every phase OF it, and l am
afraid my strong personal desire somewhat
clouded my judgment. l am now reminded
by some OF the best and most patriotic and
thoughtful OF our citizens that the real and
solemn duties OF my office are at the ma
tional capital; and that in the present Pc
culiar and delicate situation l oughtnot to
take even the remotest chance of an acci-
dent incident to travel to crafty a senti-
ment SO general and 30 characteristic as that
involved in this subject. l have been
profoundly impressed by these consider
%ations, but most OF all influenced by their
strong and unanimous presentation by the
devoted friends OF the late vice presidentliv
ing in his state and city. and their endorse
ment by the noble and patriotic woman,
who, in the infinite sorrow OF her widow
hood reflects the spirit and character OF her
honored husband in the solicitude for the
public good. am o certain that neither
my desire, nor the sentiment referred to,
nor the difficulty that attends in the case,
q change OF design, nor any stubborn idea
OF heroism will justify me in subiectins the
country to any greater chance OF disaster
than attends my performance OF strict du'
ty here, and that l ought not to intlict OF
my countrymen even the unrest and anxi
ETY. attending my departure, absence anc
return, in attendance upon the funeral GER
emonies.

slug=er Sullivan Married Again.

The Washington Critic of the Both says:
The $40 train from the east yesterday
morning brought to this city the notorious
pugilist, John Lawrence Sullivan. His
err;.nd this time was to conclude the terms
for IL ring match. The other contracting
party was Miss Annie Livingston OF the
Davene combination which was at the
theater ~coniique during the past week.
She is a handsome young serio comic singer
and n great fuvoritc with the patrons Of
variety entertainments in this city. Mr..
Sullivan was accompanied by Ed Senator
Tom Grady and Harry Minoro OF New York,
and the trio was met by several people
in the secret, for the intention was to
keep the matter quiet. An event of such
interest was, however, bound to become
known. 1t is learned that after a day OF
pleasure the parties were united in wedlock
late in the afternoon. Miss Ella Mnrtyne,
OF the Davene company, acting as brides
maid. James Mckeon being best man, and
Senator, Grady and Harry Minor specta-
tors. The bride was even more than
usually attractive in a robe OF white satin
and wore the conventional orange blossom.
The bridesmaid wore a similar toilet. Mr..
Sullivan presented the bridesmaid Il dia-
mond ring and the best man II sc;irf pin in
the form Of boxing gloves set in diamonds.
1t is said that in the envelope, which the
happy groom pressed upon the reverend
gentleman who otiiciated, was Il 500 bill.
After %partaklng OF a supper Mr.. and Mrs.
Sullivan left on an evening train.

The Illinois State Board of Agricul-
ture is in a yexatious dilemma. The
manufacturers of adultrated butter
insist that their product must be &C
corded a place at the State fairs, and
the legitimate dsirymen insist, with
equal pertinacity that butterine and
oleomargarine have no more title to
a place in the fairs than counterfeit
money has in a banks till. Public
sympathy leans decidedly toward the
dairy men, whether justly or not.

Is untillable. There is only a little

has been holding seances at the residence Of

for q lew weeks past, the attendance
being large each evening. the medium col
lectins a dollarirom each person in attend
ance. Several skeptical young men attended
the seance with the determination OF ex-
posing what they considered a palpable
fraud. Accordingly one OF them managed
to secure q seat near the cabinet from
which the spirits materialize. The cloth
ing OF the medium was sewed securely to n
chair in the cabinet. the circle formed
and the lights turned down. Soon the
spirit OF the father OF one OF the company
was materialized and reached out to shake
near the cabinet grappled with the messen-
ger from the other world and threw him to
the floor. The indignation was great
among the s~piritualists as well as
others, and tar and feathers were
strongly talked of for a time, but
finally cooler judgment prevailed and a
warrant was sworn out for Wymar's ar
rest for obtaining money under false pre-
lenses. A hearing was had before Justice

fault Of bail was remanded to the county

Scandal and Death at Sioux Falls, Oak.
Sioux Falls Special: A very sac and
sensational death occurred in this city a
few days ago, the victim being Mrs. Georgia
Perry, preceptress and wife OF Prof. f. w.
Perry, principal and professor of Greek and
Latin Of the Sioux Falls university. The
professor and his wife occupied rooms atthe
college, and for some time past have en-
tertained Mrs. DR.. Spofford OF F%landreau,
who recently occupied a room directly OPP
posito that OF Pro and Mrs. Perry. Late
in the night Mrs. Perry awoke and found
her husband absent from their bed. She
went to the room OF their visitor, and find
ing her husband there, she fell in a
spasm. Her screams soon brought the
occupants OF other rooms in the building
to the scene, the professor afterward
emersingfrom Mrs. Spofords room in partial
undress. Mrs. Perry remained in an
hysterical condition for a short time, when
she died. The professor and his wife
came to Dakota in the spring OF
1854 from Raleigh, N. c., where
they were connected with a college,
first locating in Flandreau, where they pro.
posed to found a college. In the fall of
1884 the project was abandoned, and they
came TO Sioux Falls, and putting about
$4,000 into the university t ere, upon the
