of its power, undoubting as to the end,
and positive as to the means to be en-
ployed to compass the suppression of
rebellion. When the final surrender
was made, his " Let us have peace -
descended, like a benediction from
the skies, upon the land and soothed the
angry passions engendered by the war.
His final report on the operations of
the armies was masterpiece of clear
ness, force and brevity, couched in
" compact, distinct, picturesque and
telling English" 1t is the testimony of
those who were constantly with him
during his campaigns, and who have
been around him in civil life, that he
always wrote with great ease and ra-
pidity, as man would write whose
ideas are clear and whose judgment is
firmly made up. His later literary eff
forts display the same remarkable char
acteristics. In the light of his lucid
description, Shiloh is so well under
stood that its terrible scenes of stubborn
strife are almost reality to the reader
of the mute pages of the Century. In
the absorbing interest and vividness OF
the military narrative the transparency
of the medium through which events
are discerned is momentarily dsre
garded, but in the end it is discovered
and receives admiring recognition
That a reprieve, at least, has been giver
the old commander, and that he is able
to resume work on his history, is o
itself alone matter for profound thanks
giving. The loss to history of anythin!
he may have to write would be ma
tional misfortune. May he live to com
plete his literary labors and long enjo,
the kindness of the personal regar
and the awakened appreciation of hi
services to his country which his mis-
fortunes and sufferings have revive
and so spontaneously and profusel
evoked.

Notes and Notions.

THE Army of the Potomac held
two days reunion at Baltimore last
week. General Grant was unanimously
reelected president. An incident of
the reunion was the welcome given to
the r. f. Lee Post of ex-confederates,
of Richmond. The blue and the gray
mingled and fraternized in the most
cordial manner.
MEIERE, appointed ministerto Japan,
and Blackburn, brother of the Kentucky
senator, appointed internal revenue col
lector, two notorious eX-rebels, have
had their appointments cancelled by
President Cleveland by reason of their
disloyal record. The president deserves
commentator for his action in these
cases. There is opportunity to recall
other appointments equally unworthy

To one of the st. Adams Messenqer'S
childish bits of gibberish about Senator
Edmunds, correspondent of the Yer
gennes VermOnter makes an effective
rejoinder. In closing he says: :" The
view that the Messenger takes of the
subject of party fealty leads one to
doubt if that journal really embraces
the real principles of true republican
ism. Its refusal to allow Mr.. Edmunds
to think and act without molestation
according to the honest dictates of his
conscience would seem to indicate
spirit of southern democracy as it was
practiced in Copiah county, Miss,
not long since. To be sure, it makes
no appeal to the shotgun and the LASH
but the spirit is the same. The idea
that men, in order to receive the en-
couragement and support Of republic
cans, must endorse every act of their
party, right or ,0rOng, is in direct viola
ton of the sound doctrines of our re-
publican institutions and breathes forth
the most contemplate spirit of rank
partizanship. Vermont, though she
may tolerate the bare expression of
such sentiments, will give no aid to any
measure founded on such doctrine, and
singing rebuke will be given to the
Messengers crazy assault upon Senator
Edmunds by his almost unanimous re-
election at the next session of the leg,
islature, should he see fit to accept the
honor ;,

GENERAL GRANT has suffered some
pain in his throat during the past two
or three days, the reports say, and he
has been somewhat restless at night.
On Monday he took prolonged drive
and returned to his house in good
spirits. He resumed work on his book
after luncheon and until dinner, after
which he spent the evening in social
conversation with the members of his
family. Colonel Grant said "Father
is feeling quite well today. The pain
in his throat was little increased to-
day, perhaps owing to the change of
air.

DIR. w. o. AYREs of New Haven, Conn,
has devised plan for AERIAL travelling which
contemplates an apparatus weighing only
sixty-five pounds The lifting power, as
Stunning the weight of the operator TO be one
hundred sixty pounds, would have to be
two hundred twenty-five pounds, and this,
he thinks, could be obtained with the expen-
diture of one-sixth of a nominal horse
power, aided by the efforts of the rider.
The apparatus contemplated in his plan is a
framework of tubes, these tubes being used
for the storage of compressed air, which
would be contained also in two cylinders,
furnishing the principal motive power. BY
an arrangement of vertical and horizontal
propellors the machine is to be both raised
and propelled, a vertical and horizontal
rudder controlling its direction. Two of the
propellors will be operated by the riders
feet and one by his right arm, the left hand
controlling the valve of the air cylinders
and the steering apparatus. DIR. Ayres has
made no experiments to determine the prac-
ticability of his plan, which stands, there
fore, as a theory only.

SHORTLY after noon Friday spark from
a locomotive set fire in the heart OF the
great pine lumber yard district, which lies
along both sides of the south branch OF the
Chicago river and near the southwestern
city limits. The entire fire department was
called ont. but the twenty or thirty streams
of water thrown upon the flames had little
effect. The news of the fire spread rapidly
TO the business center of the city and caused
much alarm, lest the fire should assume pro-
portions approaching those of the great con-
Migration of 1871, which came from the same
direction The fight continued throughout
the a afternoon and ii was nearly seven o'clock
before the conhagration was brought under
control, having practically burned itself out
in the limit of the immediate district in
which it began. A heavy rain during most
of the afternoon was of material assistance.
The aggregate of lumber destroyed was
forty-fve million feet; value, 500, 900; insur
ance, about S5O00OO.

RrroRrs from the official anthorities OF

REPORTS from the official authorities of
Missouri, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Michi-
gan. Maryland California, Wisconsin, Iowa
West Virginia, Dakota, Alabama Georgia,
New York, Indiana, Illinois, Kansas, Vir-
gina, Nebraska, Minnesota and Tennessee
show the winter wheat crop to be in very
unpromising condition. Notwithstanding
the recent rains and warm weather have
given the plant better appearance. no inn
provement can be reported in the promise
of the crop. Thousands of acres in large
winter wheat producing states have been
plowed up and sown in oats and other
grains. The decrease in area and damage
seems to be general in all winter wheat
states except Michigan. With this one eN-
ception the loss to the winter wheat states
is the greatest ever known. The spring
wheat states, Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota,
Nebraska and Dakota, have not yet COM
pleted their spring seeding, but are far
enough advanced to show that the area will
be somewhat decreased, and unless we have
very favorable summer the yield of spring
wheat will fail much below that of last year,

THE ordnance board of the United States
army has recommended the construction of
a monster war balloon for the use of the
government, and General Russell Thayer
of Philadelphia, the inventor, has received
instructions to begin the work. The
board recommends that balloon of seven
tons ascending force be constructed and
that trials be made with it. 1t will cost
nearly $4,000. 1t will be the largest bal
loon ever constructed with a diameter of
sixty feet and length of one hundred
eighty-fve feet. The " dirigible war bal
Loom" as it is called, is a cigar-shaped ma
chine, pointed at both ends, and, unlike
ordinary balloons, sails through the air
longitudinally. 1t is about three times as
long as it is wide 1t can be raised and
lowered at will, requiring no ballast, and
will have a speed of thirty miles an hour.
The motive power is compressed air, and
steering apparatus will enable the navigator
to steer in any direction. Should this in
vention prove entirely successful it will
make the most destructive engine of war
ever devised. Tons of dynamite percussion
bombs may he carried into the clouds and
dropped while the balloon sails over a
camp or fertilization or fleet of ships. The
work of destruction, General Thayer says,
can best be accomplished when the balloon
is at a height of five hundred or six hundred
feet When the balloon is constructed
trial will be made at some inland point.

IndestruetibllitI of Gold.

 Gold may be said to be everlasting. indestruetible. The pure acids have no effect upon it. Air and water ar, alike prohibited from working its des- truction; while to baser metals they are decay, to gold they are innOcuous. Bury it through long ages. and when the rude tool of the excsvatOr again brings it to light, while every tnlng around 1t, and originally associated with It, has returned to dust from winch it sprang; while the delicate form which 1t adorned has, become . powder so im- pslpaole as to be inappreciable; while the strong bone of the mighty warrior crumbles ss you gaze upon II; while bls trusty sord lies mass of stale rust, the delicate trscery in gold which adorned it. or the finely wrought tiara which encircled the lofty brow of the fair damsel Is there ID its pristine beau ty, perfect as when 1t left the work mans hands, and became the joy of her fieeting moments. Yes, days, years. centuries upon centuries have rolled by, mighty empires have risen and fallen, dynasties that dreamed their power was to be everlasting, have passed away; armies have marched, conquered sni become nevertheless dscrepit win old sge; cities teeming with popGl sti0n and commerce have become The dwell ing place of the owl and the bat; the very pyramids themselves. raised m ihs pride of power, and destined to he for sver, have crumbled and are crumbllng: and yet that thin filsment of gold has stood unchanged through all these mighty changes; it has withstOod tr;- the destroying hand os time; it Is today what IL was S.0Ou years ago. Surely it IS metal worthy of sll admiration.
