his great reputation. When Gen.
Hood died and left eight or nine
little children wholly unprovided
for Gen. Grant and Gen. Sher-
man and several other eminent federal
officers subscribed $500 and $1,000
apiece to provide for the children.
When the subscription paper was pre-
sented to Gen. Sheridan he rather curt
ly declined to put his name down, but
taking out his check-book he wrote
his check for 500 for the benefit

Up from the South at break of day,
Bringing to Winchester fresh dIsmay.
The aftrighted air with shudder bore
Like herald In haste to the chiaftain's door,
The terrible grumble, and rumble and roar
Telling the battle was on once more,
AND sheridan twenty miles away.
Aud wider still those pillows of war
Thundered along the horizons bar,
And louder yet into Winchester rolled
The roar of that red sea uncontrolled
Making the blood of the listener cold
AS he thought of toe stake in that fiery fray,
With Sheridan twenty miles away.
But there's q road from Winchester town,
a good, broad highway leading down;
And there thro' the fash of the morning light
A steed as black as the steeds of night
Was seen to pass as with eagle flight;
AS if he knew the terrible need,
He stretched away with the utmost gDeed.
Hills rose and fell-but his heart was gay
With Sheridan fifteen miles away
URder his spurning feet the road
Like an arrowy Alpine river flowed,
And the landscape flowed away behind,
Like an ocean flying before the wind:
And the steed. like bark, fed with furnace ire,
Swept on with his wild eyes full of fire;
But 10 he is nearing his hearts desire
He is snufhng the smoke OF the roaring tray
With Sheridan only five miles away.
The first that the General saw were the groups
VI stragglers, and then the retreating troops:
What was oone-what to do-a glance told him
both,
And striking his spurs with terrible oath,
He dashed down the lines mid a storm of hur.
rahs,
And the wave of retreat checked its course there
because
The sight of the master compelled it to pause
Win ioam ana with dust the black charger was
gray.
By the flash of his eye and his nostrils play
he seemed to the whole great army to say:
81 have brought you S meridian all the way
From Winch ster town TO save the day !"
Hurrah hurrah for Sheridan
Hurr 4h hurrani for horse and man
And when their statues are placed on high,
Under the dome of the Union sky
The American soldier temple OF fame
Th-re with the glorious Generals name.
BE it said, In Letters both bold and bright
Here is the steed that saved the day
BY carrying Sheridan into the fight
From Winchester, twenty miles awayl"

Brazil Is Free.

New YORK, May pa CORES
pondent at Rio Janeiro says the bill
abolishing slavery in Brazil contains
but five brief articles, viz: First, de-
claring free from date of the law all
slaves i'll the Empire; second, reliev-
ing from further service the ''inge-
nus or free born children of slave
mothers; third, localizing the freed
men within their county within two
years; fourth. empowering the Exec.
utive to issue the necessary regula
tions; fifth, revoking all contrary pro-
visions.
Thus half page of octave sufficed
for a law which emancipates over six
hundred thousand slaves and relieved
from apprenticeship to 81 about 400,
600 children of slave mothers, born
free by virtue of the law of eptember
%, 1881. Indeed: in general, Brazil,
ian laws are free from the prolixity of
Anglo Saxon legislation. The yolun-
tary emancipation movement initial
ed in ST. PauIo had already taken
firm in the province of Rio Janeiro,
as we'll as in Manas Geraes. Two
Vicounts St Clemente and Nova Fri,
burgo, platers iu the municipality OF
Cantagallo, freed Internationally
their l 900 slaves, an example follow
ed by number of lesser planters of
the same county. One notable phe
nomenon of the new era of unforced
labor is the anxiety of the freemen to
legalize their unsanctifed conjugal un-
ions and to legimatize the offspring of
them. as the Brazilian law humanely
permits by after marriage; and in st.
Paulo especially the marrying capaci
ty of the clergy worked at the highest
pressure is insufficient to meet the
demands of the ex-slaves for the sane
tion of the Church and law to the
broomstick unions which alone the
policy of their owners had previously
permitted to them.
