-FOUR GREATEST GENERALS.

man Said-Grant as Commander.
| Montreal Gazette1
| The four greatest generals produced by
the great civil war in the United States on
| the national side were Grant, Mcpherson.
| Sherman and Sheridan One of the most
pleasant memories of American history
| is, and will forever be, the fact that be-
| tween these four great commanders there
was never the shadow of jealousy or
| envy. 1t is the highest honor that Grant
ever received from mems judgment of adj
miration that these three able captains all
willingly and always looked up to him as
their superior.
Mcpherson fell in battle before the
splendor of his abilities could attract the
worlds attention, but in his death Grant,
as he declared, lost one of the greatest
perhaps the very greatest-of his lieuten-
ants. Sheridan, as is right of his Irish
blood, had the fercest spirit in battle;
Sherman the greatest invention in coun-
Gil; while Mcpherson could fight with
the one and plan with the other; but they
all admitted, because they knew and felt.
greater than they. why" I asked
Gen. Sherman once, "did you and Sheri-
dan always acknowledge Grant to be your
LEADER" Because, he responded in his
quick, idiomatic manner, while could
map OuC d uOL6u plans LOT campaign,
every one of which Sheridan would swear
he could fight out to victory, neither
he nor l could tell which
of the plans was the best one; but
Grant, Vino simply sat, and listened,
and smoked while we had been talking
over the maps, would at the end of our
talking tell us which was the best plan,
and in a dozen or two words the reason of
his decision, and then it would all be so
clear to that he was rinht fbof Cbori
dan and would look at each other and
wonder why we hadn't seen the advantage
of it ourselves
L tell you, he continued, after a mo-
ments pause, "Grant is not appreciated
yet The military critics of Europe are
too ignorant of American geography to
appreciate the conditions of his campaigns.

to Paris? Look at the multitude of roads.

How a Famous Song Was Written.
LPlniln LI,I,nl,;.,

Dexter Smith had previously written q
song that was very popular, '"Ring the
Bell Softly, There's Grape on the Door /"
and experience taught him that catchy F"
words, simple lively air, and good IT,
tie were necessary to make song popular
The publishing house of which he was a
member was just starting in business, and
he was anxious to advance its interesfs
He was looking about him fora theme
upon which to base song. and one sum.

streets of Boston, he passed a house on

as Mr. Smith reached the group curly
headed little girl put her arms around the
neck OF an older sister, and, in sleepy

The bashaw was seated, cross-legged,
in one corner of the room, on a raised
brick dais He was dressed in a gaudy-
colored, gold embroidered tunic, reaching
20 his waist, the familiar oriental large,
baggy trousers, fastened at the knees and
the same inevitable white turban on his
head. He holds an audience every morn
ing of an hour or two with his subjects,
who are at liberty 10 come to him with
their grievances, complaints, petitions,
etc. They state the circums ;ances, if they
have been robbed, cheated or ill-treated:
if they have committed petty crimes or
misdemeanors of any kind they ask to be
forgiven, or that the punishment NAV be
as light as possible
All tell their stories, make their com
plants or confessions, and the bashaw
passes judgment on some, and gives
fatherly advice to others, as he thinks the
case demands. He embodies all the dig
nifty, powers and responsibility of su-
preme court or police court; of a Judge
and jury and of a Roman Catholic con.

committing crimes and have not Volun-
