Gen. Schofeld was born in 1881 and is now
at the age of 81, in most vigorous life. For
i've years after graduating at West Point
he was one Of its distinguished professors,
and shortly before the war opened he re-
signeS to accept the chair Of physics at
Washington university in Missouri. He
entered the field at the outbreak Of the re-
bellion, and was soon detailed as chief of
stan to Gen. Lyons. He was with him in
the battle Of Wilson's creek, and performed
brilliant service in that early engagement.
In the spring of 1863 he was transferred
for a short time to q command in the Army
Of the Cumberland, and was assigned to the
division organized and first commanded by
Gen. George II. Thomas. He took charge
quietly, and looked sharply after every in
terest, and when, at the end OF Q Bow weeks,
no was assigned elsewhere, he retired with
the good will and affectionate regard of this
very particular division
His services at Knoxville, in command of
the 23d corps, in the Atlanta campaign un-
der Sherman, and in Tennessee in command
of the Army Of the Ohio, and in North Caro-
lima in independent command under Thorn
as, are known to the country. In every
respect it was service Of high order.
His civil administration after the close Of
the war was conducted with marked ability.
He remained in North Carolina until after
the reconstruction convention had complet-
ed its labors.
Immediately after the close Of the war he
was selected by Gen. Grant for a most deli
cate and important mission, the inside his
tory Of which has never yet been made
known. 1t was decided to act promptly in
the matter Of compelling the French to
evacuatS Mexico.
The movement of Sheridan's troops to the
border was for the purpose Of using them,
and more 10 follow, If it became necessary,
10 Join the Mexicans and use force to end
French rule on the continent.
But before crossing our forces into Next
co IL was thought best TO send a special
ambassador to the emperor at Paris to
make known the position, the desires and
the purposes of our government. Gen.
Scho1eld was chosen for this mission, and
sue, seded In bringing the matter before
the k'rehch government without the least
ruf1ing Of diplomatic serenity. French ac-
ton was prompt. and the order for evacuat-
ing Mexico was forthcoming.
At the close OF President johnson 5 i'm
parchment Gen. Schotield served accepta-
bly, till the end OF the term as secretary OF
war. Gen. Grant was personally anxious
10 retain him, but the political conlplica-
tons Of the time, growing out Of the i'm
parchment, were such that it was not
thought best TO continue him.
In person Gen. Schoheld is little taller
than Gen. Sheridan and little heavier.
He has a large head and pleasant and intel
hgent face. He is most d,gnihed, courte-
Gus, and affable gentlemen, thoroughly ac-
quainted with public affairs, and fully
versed in every detail Of his profession.
While the country stands mourning at the
grave of brave General Sheridan, it is to
be warmly congratulated that his mantle
has fallen upon one so well qualified to
wear III

Five Villages DESTROYED.

Steamer sdvices say that on July 18th the
smaller Bandai San trembled and roared
violently. Ashes began to fall, the sky grew
dark, rumbling sounds continued and there
was a violent earthquake and the fare Of
flames. The crest of the volcano appeared
to be lifted upward bodily, and then fell
back with terrible noise. Then followed
showers OF red mud and stones. The great
or part of the houses in the FIVE villages of
Iawase, Yoson, Wakamlya, Misato and
Hibars were buried to depth OF from sew

In urging the voters OF Sioux City to
vote for the levy of special tax OF
three per cent in behalf OF the constguo-
tion of railroad into Sioux City from
the north, the citizens committee issued
a circular containing nineteen reasons
for extending such aid. Reason sixteen
reads:
16. Because the building of this line
to connection with the Manitoba sys-
tenn will, doubtless, deter that company
from extending its line toward Yankton.
This is not valid reason. 1t is the
outcropping OF a prejudice which has
never ceased Its operation in all the
transactions of Sioux City. That aspir-
ing community has two motives ever
uppermost-one to build itself and The
other to destroy Yankton. While it has
an uudoubled right to give full scope to
the former. it might very properly omit
the latter. Blind, unreasoning jealousy
of this character SO freely indulged will
not contribute growth and values to our
neighbor. 1t Is nm appeal to the most
daspicable prejudice which can animate
q community and will surely react In
time. OF late years we have been assured
that Sioux Oity was content to build
and grow and keep it's hands off from
aspiring Dakota towns-that, more es-
pecially. it was willing and
glad to see Yankton expand
and assume commanding COM
mercial dimensions. We had almost
begun to believe there was sincerity in
the oft repeated assertion. But here
is the official declaration of an authori-
zed committee which urges the voters OF
Sioux City to favor public tax for the
purpose OF preventing Yankton from
securing railroad. After this there ie
no reason why Sioux City should any
longer wear its hypocritioal mask in AN
effort to secure the commercial patron
