Won MOLTKE, FREDERICK, SHERI-
DAN


The following opinions of General
Sheridan's military attachments by two
of the leading military authorities of
Europe will be read with special interest
Just now. Count Won Moltke, the ia
NOUS German General and field-marshal
says:
Il have always considered Generals
Grant, Sherman and Lee as the represent
alive types of the highest forms of modern
strategy. But General Sheridan appeared
to me as the type of an exclusively Ameri-
can general; endowed with all the wonder
full energy and fruitfulness of resource
which characterize his nation. And there
probably never appeared better calvary
general on the battlefield, He was mas
ter in the use of horses, as far as their use
was practicable. All armies of Europe
have learned and profited by his example
in the use of cavalry"
The renowned Prussian cavalry gen.
eral, Carl Friedrich, Count Won der
Goltz, leader of the cavalry in the bat
ties of Sedan and st. Privat, and during
the siege of Paris, says of General Sheri-
dan:
81 saw General Sheridan in the year 1870,
shortly after the battle of Sedan, and the
manner in which he examined the hoofS of
the horses and the field FORCES of the cav
airy regiments made a great impression on
nv mind. | met him later at Versailles.
shortly after the conclusion of peace, and
remember his opinion that II the German
cavalry had been organized on the Ameri-
can plan they could have destroyed all the
French railways that united Faidherbe' S
army on the north and ChanZy's army on
the Loire. l consider General Sheridan to
be one of the ablest cavalry generals in the
WORLD -

The Harper Sentinel doesn't seem to

Of the state and holds it to the support of
Judge Martin as the one man for the

Sentinel thinks Judge Martin one of the

would like to see a western man NOM
mated; it is time for the western part of
Kansas to receive a few offices in the

the party or fortunately for the state, as
far as that party's success and influence
goes, it is no difference what part of the
state it takes its candidate from; the re-
suit will be the same; Nevertheless, the
Sentiners position is not an illogical one,
per Sc, however little influence it may
exert in the selection of the candidate
who will be elected governor of Kansas

William A Smith, who died few days
ago in Richmond, enjoyed unique dis
dnction. He resigned a seat in congress
because he did not think he had sense
enough to properly represent his constit-
uents. This is the first, and will doubt
less be the last, instance of the kind on
record, and great big monument should
be erected to the honest man. There Is
an approximate parallel to this in the
case of Gen. Roger A. Pryor, who re-
signed his position as major-general in
the Confederate army and enlisted as a
private soldier, carrying musket in the
ranks after having commanded divis-
ion in Lees army. The reason assigned
by Gen. Pryor was substantially the
same as that given by Mr.. Smith, though
Pryor has had sense enough to make con-
siderable reputation and money by his
profession (the law in New York since
the war.

The steady defamation of Ireland's
population is the most impressive COM
ment upon the effect of Englands rule
that could be offered. During the last
year the emigration amounted to $4,000,
an increase of 10000 over the year pre-
ceding. Of this number 60 per cent.
were between Is and % years Of age.
The young element is the one which
nation can least afford to lose. 1t repre-
sents the strength of the present and the
hope of the future, and to take out In
one year as, 900 Of the Irish youth is to
in1ict loss upon the country which is
irreparable. A few years ago Ireland
had 100000 population; nsw it has
dwindled down to 100000, with the
number constantly decreasing. Somuch
for the cruel and unjust treatment Ire
land has received from England. The

treat those who remain behind, but it
cannot prevent the Irish people from
leaving their misruled island and seek
ing homes iii some land where they will
be treated with the justice due to COM

MRS. FRANK B. SMITH
Requests your Company at Luncheon.
3 to 6 o'clock, February 20.

Such were the legends borne by hand
some invitations.
Happy thought to select a day which is
itself unique and not likely to become
common--the Goth of February. By half
past ii Thirteenth street leading to Fair
mount was lined with carriages, convey
ing guests to Mr. Strong's slightly resi-
dence. If there is any place in the world
where the air can get up an opposition
banner to the sea it is Paramount There
is something exhilerating in the wind.
Perhaps it is the faint, sweet odOr of com
ing spring in the air, like the taste of cham
payne over powdered ice The beautiful
rooms were filled with delightful guests.
whose cheeks were glowing from the mer-
ny wind, which, despite the wraps and
close carriages, found opportunity for
rough caresses.
The charming hostesses received and en-
tertained their friends in their usual genial
manner. The refreshments and favofs
were novel and the breakfast was a happy
success, partly SO, on account of a delight
full innovation in the shape Of a blessed
baby; rollicking, blue eyed baby; who
dimpled and smiled and cuddled his head
in his mothers neck, in shy retreat against
the fattering attentions pressed upon him.
/ really believe there ought to be babies at
luncheons, people are more natural where
there is baby. j am going to take one
next time if l have to borrow somebody's.
At Mrs Smiths we found the blinds
closed, the searching light of day replaced
with softly lighted lamps, shining through
tinted globes. Each guest was cordially
welcomed, and Immediately conducted to
an inner room, with one corner myster-
iously eurtained off, and given fishing
pole, line and hook, with instructions TO
fish and see what you can catch"
and such were the appropriate hits, and
condolences attending each lucky fisher,
that rumOr was circulated through the
company to the effect that Frank b. him
self was actually stationed behind that
curtain: indeed nothing but a strong sense
of the proprieties kept us from falling on
him en- masse and dragging him from his
lair. But this is strictly confidential so
don't repeat it,
The lovely rooms were filled with the
perfume of flowers, to which was added
the fragrance of tropical fruits, as we
were presently ushered into the dining
rooms. The table was marvellous persua-
sion to tardy appetites. In the center was
a beautiful display of flowers. and at each
plate, fragrant boquet. Oysters were
served on blocks Of crystal ice, -and-but
then, never could describe things to eat:
the fact is, that generally, my higher
senses are so appealed TO, by the music,
the perfume of flowers, and the enchant-
ing conversations. that / am apt TO per
take of every thing I'm helped to, with
confused idea that is is all angel food,
hash, and Ambrosia.
Mr. Smith may congratulate herself on
her successful entertainment.

BOTH LAMB AND LION,

Touching the month of March, says the
old adage, ''Come in like a lamb-go out
like lion," and vice versa. March came
in yesterday in two-fold mein. The
morning and the day were lamb-like
enough, soft and gentle, but as day waned
the sun went down over behind bank of
black density that appeared little short of
frightful. In a short time the wind
whirled into the north and the valley and
city were enyeloped in blackness which
was lit up by continuous streams of the
vivid electric flashes, and which were &C
companied by rolling, crashing thunders.
The rain came down in torrents, accompa-
MED by hail. The flooded streets were so
many rolling rivers, and street cars looked
like boats drawn by drowning rats The
winter, as whole, has been far more wet
than year ago, and this makes the second
heavy rain already this spring, which is
promising for big crops.

Yesterday about noon serious II not
fatal ARRAY took place in the fifth story OF

The two men suffering the most severely
from the ARRAY came down from the build

ed with blood and followed by crowd OF
curious to the Office of Drs. Purdue and

that the younger, a carpenter named john
Busby, was very seriously, perhaps fatally
injured. He had been shot by Jack Tezier
foreman. employed by Mr.. Majors: the
ball having entered just back of the light
ear and ranging forward and downward
came out through the mouth. His wounds
were attended to and he was sent to his
home at No. 1l31 Deweiyn avenue. Dr.
Purdue called upon TIE wounded man last
evening and upon his return Re
ported him TO be resting very
comfortable: and that while his
INJURIES are of a very serious character he
may with proper care and attention re-
cover. He bled very proiuseiy, not appar-
entity from the hole through which the
shot had entered. but through the ear,
showing that some Oh tle important aftc-
ries had been severed. Or. Former thinks
that this Circumstance tends TO show that
even should he recover from the injury he
