GRANTS OPINION OF SHER.
MAN.

From the illustrated paper by Gen.
Grant giving his account of the bat
tie of Shiloh in the February Cen
tury we quote the following During
the whole of the first day / was con-
tinuously engaged in passing from
one part of the field to another, CIV
ING directions to division comman-
ders. In thus moving along the line.
however, | never deemed it impor-
tant to stay long with Sherman. AL
though his troops were then under
fire for the first time, their comman-
der, by his constant presence with
them, inspired confidence in officers
and men that enabled them to render
services on that bloody battlefield
worthy of the best veterans. Nc
Clernand was next to Sherman. and
the hardest fighting was in front of
these two divisions. McClernard
told me himself on that day, the 9th,
that he profited much by having
so able a commander supporting
him. A casualty to Sherman that
would have taken him from the field
that day would have been sad one
for the troops engaged at Shiloh.
And how near we came this F! On the
9th Sherman was twice shot, once in
the hand, once in the shoulder, the
ball cutting his coat and making a
slight wound, and a third ball passed
through his hat. In addition to this
he had several horses shot during
the day."

Mugwump.

Between two lakes, within bog,
A scantly evoluted frog
Lived on stump:
Too previous and prone to bile,
A sort of underbred Carlyle
Mugwump.
1t CHANGED that he sat one day
And combed, in reflective way,
His battle bump,
AT anchor meath a tranquil sky,
A stately vessel caught his eye
Mugwump.
"Aha!" quoth he-''I'n seize that ship
And fit her for four years trip,
And leave this clump,
And all the fishes in the sea
Shall sit ON deck and sing with me
Mugwump."
"I'll tap the lake that lies beyond
To swell the waters of my pond,
And with pump,
I'll mount them ere they overflow
And take the helm and westward go
Mugwump."
He did not cross the great gateway
But clambered in some other way
And set his pump.
And worked it with ''principle"-
Though which he did not stop to tell
Mugwump.
But while he pushed his little plan
The bursting lake a torrent ran,
And with a thump
IT overthrew him neck and crop
And scooped his pond and closed his shop
Mugwump.
There, on cold November day,
Mournful but beautiful he lay
All in a lump,
His glowing visions overturned
BY teaching what he had not learned
Mugwump.
To him. when low the water ran,
There came stately pelican,
A feathered hump,
Whose massive and portentous NAV
Had hitherto seized all he saw
Mugwump.
Round him in doubtful action arched,
Askance the bird of plunder marched
But dared not mump,
Since in his life he'd never seen
An edible so strangely green
Mugwump.
''Ill SEEK said he, ''the public crib
To soothe the fever of my nib
/ can't eat gump-
Bnt yonder vessels lordly fare
Is good and am going there
Mugwump.''
So curving up his feet a-peak,
And making of his mighty beak
dory plump,
He fioated from the flooded fen
And froggy never doomed again
Mugwump.

Friendly Disappointment.

Stern disappointment! you're my friend,
Although you're hard to bear!
| asked for Joy, and in its stead
You've brought me near Despair.
l sought for pearls of priceless worth,
And from your cruel store,
You've given me granite from the rock
And pebbles from the shore.
But, heavy as your touch has been,
I've learned to bear its weight,
And, drawing good from seeming i'll,
I've struggled with my fate.
And when the agony had pass'd,
Beheld, with glad surprise,
That Pain, and Sorrow, and Distress,
Were angels in disguise.
I've learned that granite from the rock,
And pebbles from the tide,
May be employed for useful ends,
When pearls have been denied.
So, disappointment! Do your worst.
And, scorning to complain,
I'll stand unconquered and confess
You've not been sent in vain!

As soon as he got his wind he told the Off;
GERS that the Chinamsn had done him up

warrant. 4 little questioning developed
the fact that there was cause,
and that the Mongoian was not
to blame. JEFF had shirt at the laundry,

witness to prove the fact to the laundry

The dude from Asia asked for the check, when
Jefferson became boisterous, and to calm
him, the Celestial hit him with a fat iron
and stretched him on the floor. As soon as
he could navigate JEFF fee. and sought
Justice at the hands of the police, as above.

The Belmont Mill PuddIers Setting Them
selves Right.
To H> Editor Of The Register.

To III, Editor d The Register.
Saturday mornings REGISTER contained
an article under the caption OF THE Steel
Nail and the Puddlers," in which nail
manufacturer, in conversation with several
gentlemen, together with reporter Of the
REGISTER, made use Of the following Ian
suage: When asked By the reporter what
will be the upshot of this business" mean
ing the steel nail business, Ito the pud-
dlersY' the manufacturer said: Simply
this: IF the puddlers do not reduce the
price Of pudding their occupation will dis
appear entirely. / have often suggested 10
them it would be good move for them to
reduce their scale, as soon as practicable, to
a price that would enable the iron nail to
compete with the steel one and then when
the steel nail was driven to the wall, run up
tho scale again. They should either do this
or make the nailers put up the price OF cut
ting steel nails, The latter it seems they
cannot do, neither can any lodge Of puddlerS
break away from the association and cut on
the prices, as was the intention of the Bel
mont mill puddlers, for if they do that the
nailers will not cut the nails under the rules
of the A. A."
The nail manufacturer imparting the
above information to the REGISTER reporter
in regard to the Belmont mill puddlers
breaking away from the Amslgamated As
ISOLATION to cut the price of pudding, is er.
roneous and absurd, and the gentleman
nail manufacturer imparting such fabulous
information knew he was lsboring under a
misapprebension when doing so. The real
cause of the Belmont mill puddlers with
drawing from the Association sas on &C.
count OF the Riverside nailers refusing to
demand the twenty per cent extra for cut
ting steel nails. If for instance it was the
intenlions and desire of the Belmont mill
puddlers to withdraw from the Association
to cut the price OF boiling, in order to fight
the steel nail business, any sane or ration
al person would give credence to the fact
, that the puddlers of any one mill could not
fight the steel nail single handed and alone.
Belmont puddlers had an occasion once be.
fore to repute such calumny as the above
tbroug the daily press Of this city. 1t is to
be expected hereafter that such occasion as
this will not present itself and that gentle
men of intelligence will not assume the role
of fabricators. BOILERS.
