Early Career Of Clara Morris.

Bob Miles was IN q talkative mood
last night, says the Cincinnati San,
and it did not require very energetic
application Of the pump-handle to get
him to rehearse some "reminiscences.
From things and people purely local the
conversation drifted to Clara Morris,
of whom Mr.. Miles said:
s.For three years Clara Morris was a
ballet girl in John Ellsler's corps.
During that time she never spoke .
word upon the stage. Discovering
that she had dramatic talent, Ellsler
gave her speaking parts, and so rapid
was her progress that at the expiration
of three years more she was doing
leading business and he gave her wider
opportunity and experience by having
her placed as leading lady in Wood s
theater in this city, under the manage
ment of Macauley. Meanwhile he en-
deayored TO make an opening for her
in the east, believing that to be sue
cessful she would have to pass the
critical Judgment of that portion OF
the country. He wrote about his
woman wonder to Mrs. John Drew, OF
the Arch Street theater. and to the
manager of the Walnut Street theater
in Philadelphia. and also 10 Wallack
and DAILY in New York. Mrs. John
Drew made q courteous reply, stating
that her company was completely
filled. The Walnut Street theater' 4
manager made a similar reply. Mr..
Wallack never even acknowledged the
receipt of the letter. Mr.. DAILY said hC
would give the western girl trial pro
| Yided she came to him willing to play
any part he might give her. This was
consented to. Ellsler told the New
York manager that his protege woulc
become . great emotional actress
After his first interview with her Dali
said: .Ellsler, you are mistaken abou
that girl, but she viii become q grea

Our DerenoeIess Sea Coast

Our extended sea-coast, except where
adequately protected by the art of the
military engineer, is everywhere Vul-
nerable.
Let us for the moment regard the
question whether its defense should be
made adequate, if not already SO, as
nero question of dollars and cents. Is
it wise, then, in a business sense, for
each of Us to pay a premium, say of
twenty cents q year for six or seven
years, to permanently insure ourselves
against such calamity as the destruc-
ton or holding to ransom of one or
more of our sea-board cities, or to pre-
vent the hostile occupation of the Mis-
sissippi river, and the possible plumber
OF the towns upon its banks?
!. Sufficient answer to this may be
found in the recollection that the loss
at the Chicago fire was estimated at
$500, 000, 900. the losses of insurance
companies alone amounting to nearly
$97, 600, 900; while the losses at the
Boston fire exceeded $50, 600, 900, the
insurance losses being nearly $53, 000,-
900. In both these cases, notably in
the latter, by no means all of the city
was consumed.
Or view the matter in another light.
The census of 1880 gives the assessed
value of the property exposed to de-
struction or contribution in the ports
of Portland, Portsmouth, Boston, New
port, New York, Philadelphia, Balti-
more, New Orleans, and San Francisco
at, in round numbers, thirty-three
hundred and twenty-five millions Of
dollars.
But this estimate does not in all
cases, notably at New Orleans, include
the neighboring country at the mercy
of power holding the specified har.
Dor, nor does it allow for the great
growth of the last five years. Again,
the assessed value is almost invariably
considerably below the actual value.
Though it is therefore certain that the
valuation given above is much too
low, yet for the purposes of argument
let us assume it to be correct.
Now (disregarding the small frac-
tons of absolute accuracy throughout
this paragraph) it is estimated that
sixty-one millions of dollars-one and
| eight-tenths of one per cent of this
value-would render all of these ports
impregnable. This expenditure would
necessarily be distributed over six or
| seven years, since the work could not
be completed in less time. Thus the
annual premium of insurance against
the danger of destruction or ransom by
| an enemy would amount to but three
| tenths of one per cent. on this inordin-
/ ately low valuation for say six years;
and thereafter to but the comparatively
nominal cost of keeping the works in
repair.-H p Wells, in Hdrper's Nag
i 0zjpe for November.

"Reminiscences OF Gen. sherman.

A contributor to one of the Sun
day papers of Washington adds another
story to the "Reminiscences of Gen.
Sherman. He reports distinguished
officer of the general staff of the army,
who was on duty in Washington during
the war, as relating an incident wit
messed by himself when Sherman's
victorious army was reviewed in 1865.
He says that when the head of the
column arrived opposite the reviewing
stand Gen. Sherman and one of his
staff. the relator thinks it was Gen.
Whipple, dismounted, came up to
where President Lincoln was stand
ing, and was received by him with
great cordially. After Gen. Sherman
had spoken to several members of the
cabinet, MIR. Stanton, whom he had not
noticed IN any manner, came up, and,
holding out his hands, said something
to him. what it was" says the
officer who is reported as telling the
story, 81 did not hear clearly, for just
at that moment the crowd saw Sher-
man, and evidently recognizing him
for the first time, gave q tremendous
cheer. Mr.. Stanton seemed to think
Gen. Sherman had not heard his re-
mark, and spoke TO him again. Gen.
Sherman drew himself up, and, look
ing the great war secretary direct in
the face, said: i do not wish to speak
to you, sir; you are nothing but a
clerk, anyhow ! could not have been
mistaken in the words, for Gen. Sher-
man spoke loudly and with decided
tone of anger in his voice, and his man
ner was not to be misunderstood
''There was a moment of perfect
silence. l looked around and noticed
my old friend. Montgomery Blair. He
was evidently much distressed at the
occurrence, for he went up to MIR.
Stanton Immediately and tried to con-
verse with him. ! had seen a great
deal of the secretary of war and knew
him well, and 1 never saw him show
SO much feeling as he showed then.
de was a man of furious passion and
overbearing temper, and for a moment
l really feared q personal collision
might occur between the two men.
To be so insulted, and by one of his
subordinates, was something that
aroused every feeling of resentment in
Stanton's passionate, despotic nature.
He Immediately left the platform, and
Mr. Lincoln seemed to feel easier when
he had gone, as did everyone else.
Many of the gentlemen present had

almost insulting by the secretary of
war, and more than one person was
secretly delighted at the awful snub
administered by the victorious COM
mander of the Army of the Tennessee
where everyone could see it,
According to the story. nothing
further came of the matter, although
for time Stanton is said to have con-
templated prcferring charges against
Sherman.
