How oft she smiles OCT youthful fries

 Is it old Richson that proyokes the smile That wreaths those lips to-day Old Algebra, As he was better known! Poor shatter brain What strange conceits-what hollow fancies So often from those ever-moving lips. What wicked children that should chance to
 make "such dumb big noise" that he could "never
 pray"
 What fragrant coffee, borrowed on a chip, And brewed from house to house If Algebra, Or tilted love produce such sad results, Eschew, young friends, the and of one And a-b of the other! This advice Will be five dollars-less than wholesale cost, Better clinch the bargain ere it's lost But harmony prevai ed in Eunice's life. Time glided smoothly on.

 How wide the field those central stars illume! What watchfulness, as cares and acres grew! What patient, loving care, parent lights, Thy children here can never hope to pay! Shine on, O precious mother light this day Has brought to thee thy three-score years and

Sheridan got an order to cross the Rap pahannock, engage Stuart and clean him out. "I knew 1 could whip him, said Sheridan, ''if I could only get him where he could not fall back on Lees infantry. So I thought the matter over, and to draw him on, started straight for Richmond.
 We moved fast, and Stuart dogged us right at our heels. We kept on a second day straight for Richmond, and the next morning found Stuart in front of us, just where we wanted him. He had marched all night and got around us. Then rode him down I smashed his command and broke up his divisions, and regiments, and brigades, and the poor fellow himself was killed there. Right there, Senator, I re- sisted the greatest temptation of my life. There lay Richmond before us, and there was nothing to keep us from going in. It would have cost five or six hundred lives, and 1 could not have held the place, of course. But knew the moment it was learned in the north that a union army was in Richmond every bell would ring and should have been the hero of the hour. I could have gone in and burned and killed right aud left. But had learn- ed this thing, that our men knew what they were about. l had seem them come out of fight in which only handful were killed, discontented, mad clear through, because they knew an opportunity had been lost, or sacrifice, small as it was, had been needlessly made, and had seen them come out good natured, enthusiastic and spelling for more when they had left the ground so thickly covered with dead that you could have crossed portions of the field on the bodies alone. They re- alized that, notwithstanding the terrible sacrifice, the object gained had been worth it. They would have followed me, but they would have known, as we'll as l, that the sacrifice was for no permanent ad- vantage"

sHERIDAN's CHARGES.

ThNse charges of Sheridan were the wonder of the army. Grant saw one at Mission Ridge, and the world knows what Grant thought of General Sheridan ever afterwards. Sheridan and his men were in the hollow at the foot of the ridge and under orders to remain there. Grant was depending on Sherman to storm the heights. Meanwhile Sheridan's men were being annihilatCd. He saw that it simply meant slaughter to remain where he was, and decided to go ahead and take the ridge himself against orders. He dispatch ed an orderly to Graut asking permission to do so, and at once gave the order to charge. Grant knew that Sheridan's men were half starved after that Chickamauga and was furious at the notion of their be ing required to make the charge. Before his refusal of Sheridan's request was in the orderly's hands the Cumberland division had begun the charge. Up they went like a whirlwind. It was impossible to resist them. The ridge was carried bril- liantly. When there was no doubt of their victory Sheridan with hIs face beaming, rode down the line shouting :-
 "We'H all be court-martialed now, boysW
 This was the kind of spirit that gave Grant confidence in Sheridan. He was not only capable soldier, but he was able and willing to bear responsibility.

SHERIDAN IN REPosE AND IN ACTION.
General Alex K. StevensOn.)

I don't suppose there ever was a general with greater power of electrifying his men. In camp he was a most modest man, qniet, unassuming and easy of ap- proach. Sometimes he seemed almost dIffidcnt, and was as mild and gentle as woman. But let something go wrong when his division was moving and the con trast was astonishing. Astride of his charger, which seemed to be part of him, he was aperfect tornado, and his men in. variably caught the infection. A great many people hold that profanity is inex cusable under all circumstances. They never saw train of army mules pull a heavy wagon out of the mud under its in- spring influence, nor noted its effect when it was time for Sheridan to swear. Profanity was the climax of Sheridan x en- thusiasm in great crises, and it always carried its point. His men became like himself - irresistible. Their remarkable affection f,r him is proof that he never was brutal.

 "What followed Stone river ?"
 i've lay in camp till the summer of 1863. I remember, during that period, that we made 8 scont over to Franklin, in pursuit of General Van Dorn. We came to rapid. The river was swollen consid- erably. Sheridan siid, We must bridge it. l, who was riding with him, sad l thought we could ford it. Sheridan wouldn't take the risk. Said he, I once lost twelve men in Oregon by just such n blunder, and won't make it again. We stacked arms, threw a rude bridge over the river, and started the first regiment over the bridge. For ourselves, we forded on horseback. After we had reached the road we heard a chG CT, and, looking back, saw that the second regiment was fording on foot, holding their cartridge boxes on their bayonets. Sheridan cried with a grin, 'D-n those fellows. We'll never bridge another river for them"

Nearly $4,000 Business Men In the big
Cleveland Parade In New York.
NEW YORK, Oct. 30. The weather
for the business mems Cleveland and
Thurman parade was anything but fav-
orable. Broadway was covered with
pool of water and sticky mud, and the
rain kept up disagreeable drizzle. The
general opinion was that while the pa
raiders would be reduced by the rain, at
least 5000 would be in line. The
Democratic members of the various ex-
changes paid but little attention to busi-
ness and were getting ready for the
parade. The students of the medical
department of the University of the
City Of New York, and the law students
of Columbia college were added to the
list of organizations in the first division
and the other twenty clubs received ad-
ditions. The hardware men turned out
in large numbers and every place Of i'm
portance was represented. The publish
ers also made n good showing. The
grand stand was in Madison Square. In
front Of the stand a reviewing box pro-
jected little. In this President Cleve-
land reviewed the procession. There
were about dozen prominent Demo-
Gratis with him, including Mayor Hewitt.
The stand was occupied by about 700
people, whom the rain did not seem to
daunt. The route of the procession was
completely lined with spectators.

The Recall Of Lord Sackyille Demanded

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-The recent let
ter of Lord Sackville-West, the British
minister at Washington, to a cores
pondent who had asked his advice as to
how an Englishman should vote in the
coming election is creating great excite
ment here. Mr.. West in his reply de-
clared that the Mills bill was in reality a
piece of British legislation and that every
British voter should aid the party that
favored the nearest approach to free
trade. Democrats are indignant over
the attempt Of the British minister to
mix in American politics, while the Re
publicans are jubilant over this practi-
cal confirmation Of their assertions. As
a political blunder it is considered super
ior to Burchard's three Rs of four years
ago.

master General Dickinson spoke here
Saturday night, in the same place where
Mr.. Blaine some days since vigorously
assailed him. After discussing the
Michigan campaign somewhat, Mr.. Dick

spoke as follows:
Does anyone doubt that the real candi-
date of the Republican party is the man
who controls the ma jorities in its con-
ventions, its party machinery, its policy,
its methods and its leaders. II this party
should be successful In this campaign,
(which God forbid-aye il we may Judge
by the signs Of these days, he has already
forbidden) Harrison would be the titular
president, as has been well said, the un-
speakable man from Maine would be re-
gent. 1t becomes, therefore, as impor-
tant as in 1884 to discuss this real candi-
date, into whose keeping this great gov
ernment would be committed for four
years in case Of Republican success.

The SaekvilIe-West Correspondence the
Topic in Political Circles.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-The Sackville
West correspondence is occupying the
attention of resident Washington poll
ticians. Republicans generally hold that
Mr.. West incautiously expressed his real
interest in the contest and that, whether
or not he was trapped into doing so, it
will have am influence upon the Irish
vote to the disadvantage of President
Cleveland. They regard him as the
Democracy's Burchard. They hold that
the British minister's letter confirms
their repeated declaration that the Brit
ish government is using all influence
possible TO assist Mr.. Clevelaud's re-elec-
ton and the spreading of free trade
doctrines.
The Democrats are indignant at Lord
Sackville's action. They are divided in
opiniod as to whether he was led to
write the Los Angeles letter through
want of judgment or was influenced by q
desire to injure Mr.. Cleveland.

SackyiIIe's Recent Letter.

SackyiiIe's Recent Letter.
NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-The Heralds
Washington correspondent telegraphs as
follows: Mr.. Phelps, our minister at
London, was instructed by the president,
through the secretary of state, to init
mate TO Lord Salisbury without delay
that, under the existing circumstances,
the president is of the opinion that the
good understanding Of both countries
would be promoted if the head of the
British legation here were changed.
Secretary Bayard's cablegram to Min
lister Phelps concerning the Sackville let
ter was confined to brief statement OF
the facts as then known to the depart
ment. The British minister had admit
ted the writing and the mailing of the
letter and had authenticated the text of
it, and had also shown to Mr.. Bayard the
letter from the so-called Murchison to
which his own was reply. After full
discussion of the matter it was decided
to supplement the cablegram to Mr..
Phelps which would he formal notice
to the Marquis of Salisbury that the OBJ
noxious minister must be withdrawn.
The cablegram was accordingly sent and
it is expected that Lord Sackville will
very shortly depart the country on
leave of absence, not to return.
