Jolly Life of Gen. Sherman in
New York,

Life in New York with Gen. Sherman
is very jolly. His residence there en-.
ables him to crafty two pet desires
love of the opera and theatre and OF
good dinners. The old soldier has the
personal acquaintance of every Amer
lean actor and actress of prominence,
and is never more delighted than in a
hit and-miss interchange of reminis-
cence and anecdote with his theatrical
friends. He is also growing fonder OF
the good things of life, and it is stat
ed that by actual count he has dining
engagements already booked-he keeps
a memorandum book dated a year
ahead-that provides for his presence
at various dinners in New York and
elsewhere until late in next Septem-
Der. There are a few vacant dates lett,
as the theatre agents say, but they
are not likely to stay vacant a long
time, for invitations keep gouring IN

Proverbs About Snow,

There r many proverbs about
snow. The following are from the
Boston Journal:
Snow lis generally preceded by a
general animation of man and beast,
which continues until after the snow
fall ends.
When the first snow remains on the
ground some time in places not ex
posed to the sun, expect a hard win
ter.
When the snow falls dry, il means to lie:
But flakes light and soft bring rain oft.
Burning wood in winter pops more before
snow.
When dry leaves rattle on the trees, ex.
pect snow
When In the ditch the snow doth lie,
IT'S waiting for more by and by.
1t takes three cloudy days to bring
heavy snow.
If the snow-hakes increase in size q
thaw will follow.
II there Is no snow before January,
there will be the o snow in March
and April.
The more snow, the more healthy
season.
Heavy SHOWS in winter fave or the
crops Of the following summer.
A snow year, q rich year.
Snow is the poor mans fertilizer,
and good crops will follow q winter
heavy snowfall.
A heavy fall of snow indicates d
good year for crops, and a light fal
the reverse.
Much sleet in winter will be followed
by a good fruit year.

Disaster on the ocean seldom oc.
ours without loss Of life and yet, on
Sunday last, from the deck of one of
the best and largest of passenger
vessels, sinking from the result of q
collision, 500 persons were rescued.
This escape or rescue from destruc-
ton is one of the most marvellous on
record and strange to say, is in sup
port of the boast Of the Cunard Com
pany that they have never lost life
The steamer lost, the Oregon, had
but one rival on the ocean. Assist
ance was secured by rocket signals
of distress and she went down in so
feet of water, in twenty minutes af-
ter the captain, who was the last one
on board, left the deck. The fact
that no life was lost even in making
the transfer of so many persons, is
itself remarkable and required the
best Of skill.

AN EXCELLENT SERMON.

We ask careful perusal of the
very excellent sermon by Rev. f.
M. Woods, published in this issue.
1t is a calm, cool, thoughtful and
logical discussion from religious
stand point, of very important ques-
tons, some of which now are, and
others are fast becoming, factors for
good or evil in this country. The
Clergy form the moral and religious
balance wheels in our social system
as the Courts and officers are the le-
gal balance wheels under our form
of government, and hence the impor.
lance of the incubation of sound
and safe moral doctrinal enunciation
from the pulpit to the purpose that
those who are tempted toact hastily
and thoughtlessly, may, as the
Psalmist, exclaim: II thought on
my ways, and turned my feet unto
thy testimonies.

breath; the harsh rasping cough strikes
terror to your quiyering nerves. Some
membrane is fast cutting off the little ones
breath. Parents, provide yourself with
bottle of DuLac's swiss BALsoM," the
Great Cough Remedy for children, and its
use will cause the croupy cough to loosen,
the dangerous membrane that was form
ing over the windpipe will be cut away,
and in a few moments your child will be
sleeping sweetly by your side. This valu-
able remedy is sold by A. M.Gilbert, drug
gist, and country dealers, at 20 and IS

minds of the populace from the sad
contemplation of six cent street rail-

glass eater, is exhibiting his CASTRO

Bill claims to eat 100 lamp chimneys
several dozen goblets and about 100
pounds of assorted glassware in the
course of a week. The doctors say
that William lisa juggler, but Will
Jams manager swears that he actually
eats and swallows the glass and that
$4,000 "awe-strickenn citizens of Phil

utterly insipid lobster salad must
taste to man with digestion capable
of graphing with 100 lamp chimneys

THE FEARFUL BOYCoT.

From Fort Worth, Texas, comes
the news OF a fearful outrage the out
growth Of the strike there existing.
The Knights of Labor have boycott
ted the boarding houses where the
men who take the strikers places
board, even the butchers refusing to
sell them meat. Sentiment is against
the strikers but the business men
are afraid of the boycott. One board
ing house keeper could not pur-
chase any water for drinking pur-
poses and he had to 60 two miles to
haul it in a barrel, and them some
thing was thrown into the water
barrel and one married woman and
two little girls poisoned. If this is
the enlightened and sympathetic
method of Giving and letting live,'
then the Government had better be-
gin to increase the army, or the rail
roads, the farmers and the mills had
better be at once turned over to the
strikers and test their capacity to OPP
crate the business and make q living.

Cleveland weakens.

WASHINGTON, March Is There
seems to be quite rent in the dead
lock between the Senate and the
President. The breakage is caused
by graceful backdown by the adj
ministration, through Secretary Man
ming, to the Finance Committee Of
the Senate. Some days ago that
committee addressed q note to the
Secretary of the Treasury in regard
to certain nominations for internal
revenue collectors A day after let
ter came in answer from Manning,
saying that the President still stood
by his refusal to furnish papers, but
that the Secretary could inform the
committee that the business of the
collectors of internal revenue was be-
ing sadly confused by the Senate's
action in "holding up" SO many
nominations. Then he branched out
into long review of certain cases,
and said that the conduct of the men
who had held these offices was ex
tremely good, their affairs had been
conducted in an exemplary manner,
and the morals of the appointees
were excellent He dwelt upon the
duties of both officials and Senate in
thus regard, and said that there were
no papers on file relating to the Off
GERS they desired to know of He
concluded his long epistle by saying,
''That the President thought it for
the best interests OF his administra-
ton to have in these offices men of
the same political complexion as him
SELF The letter created quite a
futter in the committee, for it was
virtual illustration of the line, "While
refusing to consent, consented"
Yet, they did not deem it q sufficient
answer to their request. A resolu-
ton was offered to return the letter
to Mr.. Manning, with instructions
that the committee did not desire a
stump speech on the subject, but
facts. A vote was taken on this mo-
ton, and, to the surprise of many of
the committee, several of the Demo
Gratis voted to return the letter,
among them Mr. Beck 1t was car
ried, and the letter returned. At
the next meeting of the committee
another letter was found from Mr.
Manning, but it was short one; in
fact, only the salient points, refer
ence to the good conduct and condi-
ton of the offices, the moral charac-
ter of the appointees, and the desire
of the President to have persons of
his party in Office. All the stump
speech was gone. The Republicans
had gained their point. The reasons
were given, and, hence, they have al
ready reported favorably the internal
revenue collectors, and at the meet
ing to-day others were considered
and reported in executive session,
and two confirmed The reason Beck
voted to return the letter was because
he was anxious to have his Kentucky
men reported on. The action of the
Secretary of the Treasury may be fol-
lowed soon by the others. If so, the
rent in the deadlock will grow, and
it seems now as if the speeches were
not failures either.
