Grant then sent him to clear the Con-
federate forces out of the valley of the
Shenandoah, He promptly attacks Ear
ly and drove him rs far as Cedar Creek,
but being warned by Grant of a heavy
flank movement of infantry from Lees
army, he withdrew for position to the
immediate vicinity of Harper's Ferry.
This was the last Union retreat in the
valley. ThencefOrth there was brilliant
fighting and steady advance until Sher-
idan's forces, like q glacier, had plowed
that valley fram mouth to source, and
marked deep its bed and its sides with
the terrible foe of war. The steps of
his advance made notable forever the
fields where he fought, and illustrated
alike the courage, the endurance and the
soldierly qualities of two armies.
Opequan, Fishers Hill, Cedar Creek and
Wayneshoro are names that will live as
long as the story of the rebellion finds
place in history. From the middle of
August till the last of February there
was almost continual skirmiShing or
heavier lighting till the valley was
cleared,

a Curious Story.

The Herald prints story rejecting upon
the honesty of President Roberts, of the
Pennsylvania Contra, and President Depew,
of the New York Central railroad The
story, however, seems to be very improba-
bic. According to the Herald, it was quite
| freely circulated in the corridors of the
Windsor hotel, in New York, ON Wednes
day.
The story, in substance, is that the rate
fight that has been going on between the
two above named roads for the last week or
two is a sham fight, and was inaugurated
to prevent the employees of the two corpo-
rations from striking for higher wages.
The argument was that if war of rates
were started, the discontented employees
would feel that there was no prospect of
getting an increase, and would, therefore,
abandon their purpose of demanding it.
1t is alleged that the rate fight did not
harm either road very much-in fact, that
it would be much cheaper to cut rates a
little than to raise wages.
The circulation of such stories shows that
there is a lack of confidence in those who
manage great railroads. If there were the
confidence there ought TO be in these Off
Gals, nobody would believe that the wealth
lest railroad corporations in the country
would adopt any such method to avoid an
issue with their employees. 1t would be
admitted without question, that they would
meet their employees fairly and squarely,
and either grant or refuse their demands

Some War Tales.

These military ane cdotes remind me- says
writer in the New York Tribune, of a story
heard Gen. Sheridan tell once. aud which do
not remember having seen i'll print before. The
general at the time was in command of some
western troops fighting the Indlans. A band of
the latter had made q sudden attack a de
tachment of his men, but fortunately they had
a mountain howitzar mounted on mule. Not
having time 20 take it of and put il in position
they backed up and bazed away at the savages
The load was so heavy that the mule ard all
went tumbing down the hill toward the Indians
who, not understanding that kind Of fighting
took to their heels Afterward one of them was
captured, and when asked by Sheridan why he
ran, replied:
''Me big lniun, not afraid of little or big guns,
but when white man fire whole iackasS at Iniun
he don't know what to do
Another story which Gen. Sheridan was fond
of telling at the dinner-table, after the coffee
had been served and the ladies had retired
went somewhat like this, am told:
There was Jealous chaplain of the Army of
the Potomac who had called on a colonel, noted
for his profanity, to talk of the religious inter
eStS Of his men. After having been politely
motoned to seat on the chest, the chaplain
began:
in the army"
Il believe so.'' said the colonel in reply.
do you think" pursued the chaplain, that
you pay sufficient attention to the religious in
struction of your men?"
We'll l don't know doubtfully replied the
colonel.
"a lively interest has been awakened in the

The Lord has blessed the abors of his serv-
ants. and ten have already been baptized"

then turning to the attendant added, Sergeant

Congressman Cox, of New York, who is al
ways full of anecdotes bearing upon the taking
of the last census, asks bis friends to believe
that in the District of Columbiaa certain census

came to the house of a wealthy member of con
gress from New England. The door was
opened by black boy, to whom the white man

The Inspection Service

The continued appearance of new cases of
| yellow fever in Jacksonville, and the fact
that man from jacksonville was attacked
by the fever in New York this week, NAV
excite inquiry whether this city has not
acted hastily in removing all quarantine
| restrictions against the infected portions Of
Florida. Tie health authoritieI here agree.
| however, that there is no reason to appre-
bend danger from Florida now, and that if
any one from Jacksonville, OF any other
infected place, slolld be attacked by the
fever after his arrival here, there would be
no danger Of the spread of the disease.
1t isundersUood, of course, that the rail-
road company will not permit any infecte
bedding or other infected articles to be
brought hore from Florida. Il has or,lere
that no such articles shall be received for
shipment. There has been a black frost.
and even if few of such articles should
get in here, notwithstanding the vigilance
of the railroad authorities, it would be ve.y
remarkable indeed if any bad results should
follow.
Tie quarantine that Savannah mai ltainei
against Florida for nearly four months was
quite an effective one. 1t was not, perhaps,
absolutely prohibitory, but it was very
nearly so. Certainly no effort was spared
to make it so. Some of those who were
employed Us inspectors were not as efficient
as they ought to have been, but after Mr.
Sheldon was made chief Inspector the
quarantine service improved greatly. Those
who were believed to be incompetent were
dismissed, and their places filled with men
in whom dependence could be placed Mr..
Sheldon made an excellent official, and the
city is greatly indebted to him for the eff
Gent and conscientious manner in which he
looked after her welfare

A Wash Bill Incident.
From the Ne,r York Sun.

Away back in 1874, or whereabouts, two young
writers, both of whom have since become we'll
known factors IN metropolitan life, lived in
Sixth avenue, in the building occupied by the
Eagle Theater. Clever, impecunious and heed
less of the morrow, they lived as such young
men have lived from the rose-colored DAYS Of
Henri Murger down to the present year of pro-
sale grace, 1888. Sometimes they dined luxuri-
ously and sometimes they "nustled" for a din
ner in an Americanized Pie de Boheme fashion
But, unlike their Gallo prototypes and forerun-
ners, they were nearly always we'll dressed and
their wash bill was one of the heaviest items of
expense or credit. Their laundress was a GER
tain Mrs. Martin. and every Saturday night
found that industrious and confiding woman
awaiting their arrival on the staircase which led
to their lofty lodging. Sometimes Mrs. Martin
got her money and sometimes she did not
Sometimes she brought the clean shirts her.
self and sometimes she intrIsted them to her
daughter Sally, slip of a girl of IS or 10.
One Saturday night as the two Bohemians
were returning to the quarters, one Of them
said unto his mate: How'll we square old Mrs
Martin tonight | owe her about So, and
suppose your bill is about as much as that too q"

wonder if she would like to go on the stage.
That would ease matters a little bit, may be"
ITO be sure, " said the other. AT any rate
destination, and found Sally Martin waiting for
them on the staircase with the bundle OF clean
linen on her lap.
Good evening, my dear" said the younger of
the two journalists, with pleasant smile.
sally, how would you like to go on the stage
and be an actress"
The girls eyes sparkled with delight 'Ohl
Id like 1t ever so much" she exclaimed. Il

ing at 10 o'clock and bring your mother with
you-you can leave those clothes here, they'll
be all right-and then well see about getting
you an engagement"
Sally Martin darted Off with flushed cheeks
and beating heart. At 10 o'clock the next
morning she was on hand in company with her
mother who was enthusiastic in regard to the
plan, for she also had heard that they paid big
wages" on the stage. The result OF the con
ference was that the daughter was engaged by
Josh Hart TO appear at the Eagle theater at
salary of 50 week. as a hgclrante.
And now, said the benevolent Bohemian,
you must have stage name. for 1t would

They did; and now one of the fairest notables
OF the stage bears name closely resembling
sally Martin, but idealized, and good for at
least $500 a week.

Florida's Official Vote.

The MORNING NEWS published, several
days ago, the official vote of Florida, which
showed MIR. Clevelands majority to be
l2,9O4, and that of Col. Fleming, for gov
ernor, to be 1870. In the First district
Mr.. Davidson's majority for congress is
10, 107, and Mr.. Bullock's, in the Second
district, 3,l95. Only AIT votes were cast
for the national prohibition ticket
There are several things tlat ara well
worth noticing in connection with the re-
turns. One of them is the remarkably cor
rect estimate of the democratic majority
which Mr.. Chipley, the chairman of the
state executive committee. made a few days
before the election. Tho MORNING News
published this estimate. Il was l., 900 SO
far as MIR. Cleveland's majority is concerned
Mr. -Chlpley missed it by less than 900,
and the estimate is within less than > .0C0 of
Col. Fleming's majority. Mr. CLipley
must know the political sentime t Of the
state very correctly, and the information
upon which he based his estimate must have
been very reliable.
Tho prohibition vote must have been a
surprise to the prohibtionists. There
are thousands of prohbitonists in Florida,
but about all OF them must have decided
that it would be folly TO waste their votes
upon ticket that hadn't a ghost of a
chance for success
Col. Fleming deserves great credit for
the very thorough and able canvass he
made Of the state. 1t was conducted under
the greatest difficulties. He was obstructed
by quarantine regulations in almost all
parts of thestate, and besides, he was greatly
opposed by the epidemic in Jacksonville,
where he hal 50 many interests, His
brother was there exposed to the fever,
and finally became victim of it. Col.
Fleming, however, is a man of great deter
mlnatlon and courage, and seldom does
things by halves whatever the cIrcum-
stances may be. 1t can be safely predicted
that he will make an excellent governor,
and that no material interest of Florida
will suffer while he is her chief executive,
IL he can help it.

An Injury to Commerce.

Two large English steamships, from New
York, were detained at quarantine yester-
day because Of the absence Of the quaran-
tine officer. These vessels are from health V
ports and only have to report ut the station
and then come to the city. Any unneces-
sary delay is a serious loss to them They
represent 100000 worth of property, and
a days unnecessary detention means I'M
necessary expenses to a very considerable
amount. OF course, they feel they have a
grievance when delayed without cause.
Quarantine ought not to be an obstruc-
ton when there is no occasion for it to be.
The commerce Of the city is injured when
there is unnecessary detention of vessels in
coming into and going out Of port. II the
quarantine officer is compelled to leave his
post, provision should be made for some
one TO fill his place during his absence.
