Inv ' wa ~ "a
ed a gu ok comprehension OF the prln =
cipleS of the art though never using
military phraseology. Thus his letter
of Arril 10. 1866, to General McCle Ian
then beseiging Yorktown, exhibits a
precise knowledge of the strength and
purpose Of each of the many armies in
the field, and of the Importance of con
centric action In his letter of June .,
1863, to General Hooker, he wrote:
'In one word. | would not take my
risk OF being cntangled upon the river
(Rappahannock.) like an OK lump d
halfway over a fence and liable to be
torn by dogs front and rear. without a
tair chance to gore one way, or to- kIc
the other"
Again, .une 10, 1868, writing to
General Hooker:
If left to me / would not 90 south

THIS i pure science, though the
language is not technical
1t is related by General Grant In
his memoirs that when he was explain
inc how he proposed TO use the several
scattered armies so rs 10 accomplish
the best results, referring to the forces
in western Virginia, and saying that he
had ordered >igel to move up the Val
lev of Virginia from Winchester, make
junction with Crook and Averell from
Kanawha, and 20 toward Saltville or
Lynchburg MIR. Lincoln said, 20! yes!

man can't skin, he must hold a leg

In his proposal interview with Z en-.
Grant about March s, 1864, Mr.. Lin"oln
recounted truly and manfully that he
had never professed to be a military
man, or to know how campaigns shou d
be conducted. and never wanted TO
interfere in them; but the procrastina-
ton of commanders, and the pres u @
from the peop,e at the north and con
gress. which was always with him,
forced him to Issuing h series OF
military orders, one, two, three. etc.
He did not know but all were wrong,
and did know that some were. All he
wanted or ever had wanted, was some
one TO take the responsibility and act,
and call on him for all the as. stance
needed pl,dging himself to use all the
power of the government in rendering
such assistance.
A: last he had found that man.

NIEDICS AT PLAY.
The Bigs Down the Little Pills at
Base Ball.

The old school physicians met the dis
ciples of Hahnemann on the diamond
yesterSday and took them into camp.
The disaster occurred at the MinneapO-
lis ball park in the presence of much
more distinguished audience than usu
ally witnessed the disasters to the Ia
mented Flour City ball team. The
carriage space was entirely Occu-
pied, and the ladies' stand was we'll
filled with the pretty wives, daughters
and sweethearts of the pill preScribers.
They were warm partiSanS, too. the
homeopathic sympathiZers wearing
white roses and the allopathic admirers
red ones. The little pill men came on
the field with white uniforms and black
stocking, and. as they were nearly all
big, husky fellows, they showed up
well. The big pills wore nOndescript
and motley uniforms, which bore evil
dence to the zeal with which they
had ranSacked old bureaus for caSt-Oif
red stockings. Before the game opened
n row was sprung when it was found
the big pills had run in r. D. Foster.
The other fellows refused to play, and
Fosters name was erased lin the inter-
est of harmony" DR.. Skaro did not
turn up and in his place was Goliath
named Knapp, who is stereOtyper on
a morning paper. But DR.. Hunter, who
managed the allOpaths, took a solemn
oath that he was medical student, so
in he went. Subsequently, when he
swatted DIR. Waite's curves all over the
field, another kick was unavailingly
raised and the little pills cOntented
themselves with mutterings and with
public rejoicings when hot ball split
his hand. The game was great one.
DR.. Beaumont covered himself with
glory on second base, while DR.. Quin-
by's backstop work was fearful and
wonderful to behold. The erratic
curves of DR.. Camp, Dr.. Ricker's
great throw from right to second, which
went nearly to the left corner, and the
sprinting of DR.. Graham were features.
The little pills struggled hard, but fateS
were against them and so was the score.
The result was II to 9 and the allOpaths
held the heavy end.

MEYER ARRIVES.
The "Fighting Carpenter" Is at
Minneapolis.


Billy Meyers, who meets Dsnnie
NeedhaIn in twenty-rOund contest at
the Washington rink tomorrow night,
arrived yesterday at Minneapolis, ac-
companIed by ALI Kennedy, his hacker,
Link Pope, his trainer, and Ed Meyer,
his brother, who is to second him.
Meyer is in superb condition. appar-
emily, and weighs just 1873 pounds.
Meyer was seen at the B0dega, where
he is making his headquarters, and
talked about the match in very quiet
and unaSSuming way, just as he did be-
fore he men Gilmore, whom he defeated
in a punch. "Needham'S a good man
and very clever. I've nothing to say
against him, only that il he is better
man than | am 1 want TO find it out"
This was all the fighting carpenter
had to say.
Tomorrow it is expected that there
will be large delegations from Chicago,
Streator, Duluth and Ashland. PatSey
Fallen, of Omaha, and party of friends
are also coming.
The arrangements for seating the
spectators and keeping out the rabble
that usually besieges the rink upon the
occasion of fistic events are very com
plete, and there is every indication that
the affair will be well handled. The
sports are inclined to think that
the battle will not last over fifteen
rounds, if it goes that far, as both are
very much in earnest. In addition to
the big end of the gate receipts which
the winner gets there is $1,000 a side.
In addition the match decides who will
