sheridan wrote recently FOR Scrlbners Magazine
which l. TO appear In November. representative OF
Charles scrihncrs sons who had carefully read the
article said:
1T IS well known that General Sheridan kept care

dans position as non-combatant observer OF great
war was without precedent Invited officially to Oc-
cupy the German headquarters, he watched inc
contest from the closest point Of view; ana his rec
ognized position among the foremost military men OF
his time opened 10 him relations OF very unusual III
iimacy with the remarkable group of men about him
especially with Bismarck and Won Moltke. Inc
picture he gives is as vivid as the situation was un-
usual The article f. written with spirit and force. in
the concise and unpretcntous but peculiarly clear sly
which Sheridan had In common with Grant. and In
deed with great military leaders No one VIII
wonder after reading his account Of the operations,
with It's shrcwd and independent judgments of forces
which he neither undercstmatcd nor omitted to crit
lclse that the German officers all acknowledged him
at once as master Of his profession.
The personal side of the artcle-his "reminiscences
Of the Prussian lcadcrsis also Of extraordinary In
terest Bismarck talked TO him with remarkable
frankness all subjects and good many facts about
the Iron Chancellor win be made public for the hfst

ambitions had been in the direction Of military liie

his declaration that he began life with tendencies all
toward Rcpubcanism, but that his political life had
taught him 10 believe that Germany was not suii-

This article does not deal with the military tech
nicalities of the battles, except for occasional signs
Of very shrewd observation; but Is written upon
larger scale as though the dramatic force Of what he
was watching could not but get the better OF the
merely professional point Of view. This gives the
srorv perhaps. its greatest attraction. and certain
passages show a remarkable and unexpected power Of

Several thousand persons have ar
rived in Southern California since
the Presidential election, most of
whom will remain throughout the
winter, and fair proportion will
doubtless become permanent resi-
dents. Many of these people have
ample means, and occupy rooms at
the most. popular hotels. For some
unknown reason the number Of in
valids appears TO be less than in
former years. Yet California offers
superior advantages for consump-
tives, and permanent recoveries are
not infrequent. The expensive
health resorts of Europe are far
less comfortable, and less efiicacious
in restoring vitality.
On Monday next the Los Angeles
municipal election will take place.
The friends of temperance and re-
form will make vigorous effort to
elect their ticket, and it is hoped
that every good citizen will take
part in this laudable undertaking.
