Next TO Lincoln, Grant had been first in the hearts
Of his countrymen, even before the deplcrable tax

Wa the beginning of the end. It was
fought April L 1866, and was n OF the
most brilliant and bloody engagements OF
the war. In this fight Sheridan displayed
bis characteristic qualities. He was as mad
with battle-rage as the god Of war himself.
In the midst Of the fight one Of his divisions
wayered and broke momentarily. Their
e~olor-bearer was shot and killed, and their
Gag had fallen. Sheridan snatched it up in
bis own hands, and plunged into the fight
ut the head of the faltering men. After that
be few about like i~ncalnate thunder and
lightning. He ragged and shook his fist and his
sword by turns at them; he drove men who
had been wounded back into the front rank.
He capped the climax Of his rage by then
and there relieving Gen. Warren Of his COM
mand upon the field Of battle. But he re-
stored order. and gained the day.
Back at Dabney's saw-mill, Grant, wrapped
in his blue overcoat, waited for. news Of the
Eight. Day wore on into darkness, and the
hours advanced towards midnight. Sudden
" the general heard the cheers of the camp
through the darkness. He and the two or
three staff officers with him knew what the
cheers meant. An aide-de-camp rode up and
began-to tell Of the victory. Another fol-
lowed him, Colonel Horace Porter, riding
hard, with foaming horse. He was wild with
excitement. Carried away completely, he
sven clapped the commandments upon
the back as he told the good news.
"Porter, you've been drinking said a
fellow-oficer sternly.
But Col. Porter was a teetotaller. His ex-
hilaration was due TO Joy and not to brandy.
The rest of the staff were well nigh as crazy
with gladness as himself.
But the immovabh commander-in-chiei
made no demonstrations. He listened tx
every word, till the whole story was told,
Then he arose and went into his tent. HI
wrote something by the Light Of a Pickering
again, and gave the paper to an orderly.
Then he turned to the group of officers and
said, calm as a May morning:
81 have ordered an immediate assault along
the lines.n
The next move was to send the favorable
word to President Lincoln. He had com
down to City Point, and, with his soul full o
anxiety, was waiting for news Of the day
good or bad.
Only n hope now remained to Lee. Tha
was to escape by rapid retreat and join Gen
Johnston. The two armies together nigh
still offer a formidable front to the Fedora
forces. This movement Grant had prepareC
to anticipate. He hurried reinforcement
forward to Sheridan, with directions to hol
Lees army at all hazards till the rest shoul
come up. 70 the fiery little cavalry CON

The old-fashioned spinning wheel
was introduced short time ago In
to the Isle of Man Insane Asylum,
with the idea of amusing the
patients. The latter seemed de-
lighted that they could in this way
contribute to their support, and
became SO absorbed in their new
occupation that their nervous symp-
toms no longer predominated. As
DR.. Richardson, the medical super
intendent, expressed it, the dlree-
ton Of the nervous force was
changed, and their condition was
improved. The experiment is to
be tried in other asyluns.

Every State has its full quota Of
cid and young men who repair to
Washington annually in the hope
Of receiving appointments in the
several departments. They expect
the influence of their Senators and
Representatives to be exerted in
their behalf, and are, perhaps,
worse off in having their expecta-
tons realized than if they met
with disappointment, Senator
Beck, of Kentucky, tells why: He
says:
Ihave watched the career Of
young men who have come to
Washington during the sixteen
years I have been there. They
Lore their manhood trying to keep
in or to get back, and in ten years
are worse off than if they had gone,
like my son, to ranch, or gone to
breaking stone out there in the
street. l am sorry to have any
young people, friends Of mine,
want to 90 to Washington, but they
get set on it and 20 they will.

THE ART EXHIBITION

OF cource, in so young q State as
Nevada, not much can be expected
in the line of art as embraced In
painting, and out Of all the collec-
tion shown at Reno, there we're
numerous crude works in oil, a few
beastly ones, and perhaps half a
dozen works of real merit.
1t is in the power of the people
Of the State to make a better art
display, as there are paintings
hanging in private houses, which
are the work of good artists from
various parts of the United States.
A good art collection is always a
drawing card at the Fair, and such
premiums should be awarded as
will draw from the wall of private
houses, such works as will make a
pleasing collection of good paint
inss In the matter of awards the
line should be drawn between the
professional and amateur, and
they should be placed in separate
collections, with a good stif-backed
committee to say what shall be ac-
eepted, and what shall not.
Some of the daubs exhibited at
Reno made the State the laughing
stock of those who visited the pa
vilion. There were some pictures
there which ought to haye been in
vestigated bv a Grand Jury.

DEMOCRATEC FRAUD.

Notwithstanding the promises OF
an administration from which all
fraud would be eliminated, and the
early purity Of the ballot-box re-
turned to, the Ohio count discloses
some of the regular old-time Bour-
hon rottenness. A Columbus
special says:
When the Board reassenbled At
tr. N. yesterday, there was = large
crowd present. Clerk Joyce an
aounced that there appeared on
the face of the returns from pre-
sinct A, Thirteenth Ward, = bold
fraud, which bad been committed
since Saturday evening, by some
person who had secured the tally
sheets, and made an addition OF
800 votes to the amount Of each
Democratic candidate. He would
neither sign the abstract nor issue
certificates to any candidate, unless
these 300 were first deducted from
the totals on the Democratic ticket.
Matt. Martin, another member OF
the Beard, spoke in = similar
strain, and Justice Frltchey, the
third member, said they were then
unanimous on the point. The 300
fraudulent votes, Which had been
tailed up, were deducted, and the
returns read as originally returned.
This will give Taylor (Rep.) about
$50 plurality over Young Dem.).
The Official footings have not been
made, but they will not vary much
from these figures. The Republi-
cans will have two Of the three
members of the Legislature from
this county. Clerk Joyce offered
1900 reward for the apprehension
Of the thief who stole and altered
the tally sheet, and the Commits
sioners we're requested by = meet
ing of citizens who witnessed the
count, to offer q reward of $500 for
a similar purpose.
It's hard to belieye such stories
about the good Democrats OF Ohio,
but the evidence in this case seems
to be conclusive.

We acknowledge the receipt of com plimentary ticket to attend the second annual exhibit of the Arizona Industrial Exposition Association, to be held at Phoenix, Arizona, October 18th to 17th, inclusive. Our thanks are due the Board of Directors for the consideration. We regret that our engagements will not permit Us to be present on the occasion. The annual gathering together of peo- pie, showing their works of art. exhib- iting the results of their various indus trial pursuits, is of more value to the Territory, than any other enterprise in- augurated by its people, for the general welfare. Arizona has within her broad boundary, the essential elements of fu- ture greatness. These exhibitions will spread the knowledge to all people, and should secure the hearty encourage ment of all its citizens.
