How sheridan Became a SOLDIER

DIR. j. c. Richie, residing at No. 1922
Messanic street, is the son of Hon. Thomas
Ritchie, of Somerset, Ohio, who, as Con-
gresham from the Eleventh Ohio District
in 1S4S, appointed General Philip II.
Sheridan to a cadetship at West Point.
DIR. Richie was called upon at his home
by a reporter, and in an interview said:
"General Sheridan owes his appointment
to a cadetship to the fact that my father
considered him u boy abundantly pos
sessed of what we call snap His father
was poor and was a sub-contractor on the
Mayspille and GAINESVILLE turnpike. Phil
clerked in a dry goods store for a man
named Henry Ditto.
at was necessary In those times for a
Congressman to appoint some one to a Ca
detship whose family connections would
aid him politically. l have often heard my
father tell of the pressure brought to bear
on him TO appoint the sons of several
wealthy and prominent citizens. Phi
wrote him a letter in his own scrawly
handwriting. My father knew him per-
sonally and determined to make the APP
poIntment, and in order not to be infu-
enced by the letters sent him he carefully
pigeon-holed them. He watched the boy
grow to manhood, and before he died saw
him in the rank OF Major-General.
"Some weeks ago | saw a statement in a
newspaper to the effect that Sheridan was
appointed because he was an Irishman,
and it would be odd to have an Irish cadet
from a community in which there were SO
few of that nationality. l thought OF
/ writing a contradiction to the statement al
the time, as it was absurd, but finally con.
cluded to let it pass. Instead of Irishmen
being few in that district they hold the
balance of powers. Louis Republic.

The Lesson of the srigmata.

The stigmata are worthless except as
proving the influence of the mind over the
body, and in this influence the power of
thought, affection and will upon its nutri-
ton, force and availability for service. or
the contrary. They prove nothing in favor
of Christianity as divine, nor of the supe-
riority of one form of Christianity over
another, or over any system of religion
and ethics. They unquestionably prove
nothing in favor of the moral excellence
of the subjects, and certainly not that the
stigmata of Francis were, as the Popes de-
clared, ''the special and wonderful favor
~vouchsafed to him in Christ" He was
not, even in later years, an ideally good
man; Lateau is not of the ~loftiest charac.
ter Palma and the Stumbele women were
vile, and the Swedish girl utterly unscru-
pulous. The stigmata are useful, if useful
at all, simply because they furnish mate
rial for scientific investigation, and be-
cause they warn against the dangerous
material and moral conditions under which
such abnormal phenomena become possible
The "Liber Conformitatum" and many
other volumes exemplify the tendencie:
of ignorant superstition. Francis was ex.
allied above Christ. His worship in prayer
and in picture We'd with that of the Re
deemer. Indignant reaction from the de
grading absurdity was attended by thu
bitterest satire and the rudest burlesque
and wrought fearful damage alike to rea
son, religion and good morals.-P0pula

Mrs. George Gould has a curious fan v
for having all her dainty silken undergar-
ments of one shade, and the color she most
prefers is pale tan. She is clothed from
top to toe in hat color. 1t was she who
first introduced into this country the tan
suede shoes, and with them she wears
stockings of exactly the same shade, silken
and beautifully clicked. Her under gar
ments come by the dozen in big boxes
from Paris, folded in tissue paper and tied
up with satin ribbons. They run through
a gamut of pale shades, but six out of
every dozen will be of that pale tan hue SO
becoming to an olive-skinned, ~da1k-haired
women. They are wrought with the most
exquisite white silk needle work, and
every edge crisped with finest laces. With
them come corsets from Worth's own
corsetiere to match perfectly each shade,
and these are also embroidered and laced.
Lady Dudley, the famous English beau
ty, who is as white as a pond lily, always
wears black silk underclothes, silk stock
ings, and is one of the few English women
whose feet are pretty and delicate enough
to wear black, Moliere shoes. Sadie Mar
tiot wears black, too, and it is ever said
that she carries this rage for black so far
that she has black silk bed coverings and
furniture, Nine. Barrios, who is as dark
and richly-colored as a gypsy, uses a deep
red for her underwear, and Grace Hender-
son, the pretty blonde of the Lyceum
frheater, wears a bright poppy color. Just
before Mrs. Hamersley astonished the
community by her ducal marriage a friend
met her laboriously shopping in search of
a particular shade of very pale pink ribbon.
:" It's so horribly warm" she complained,
" and / can not find this shade of pink
anywhere But why must you have
that particular shadeg p asked the friend.
, The future Duchess unrolled a white tissue
} parcel that lay on the seat of the coupe,
and displayed a pair of delicate pink stays

' and though / can get something near, ]

the friend, trying to be consolatory, "thai
doesn't make any difference. 1t isn't nee
e essary it should be quite exact" IN,

at Paris.

At the Grand Opera House a competi-
ton has been held for the position OF
harpist. The first trial, in which men
only were admitted, gave negative results.
None of the candidates were deemed com
petent enough to be Incorporated into the
orchestra. A second competition was then
ordered. And, although it is contrary to
the established rule at the Grand Opera
House that ladies should belong to the
body of musicians in the orchestra, it was
decided that in this case they would be
allowed to compete. This exclusive Gus
tom. however, is not general here, and, or
the contrary, often lady harpists are seer
in the orchestra of Messrs. Colonne anc
L~amorueaux. In the second trial, il
which one man and five ladies took part
the man was the successful candidate
There are people, though, who maintain
that this decision is only to be explained
by the prejudice which exists among thu
members of the orchestra against the ad
mittance of ladies in their own ranks

Torturing Geese.

Everybody knows that the pate de toie
gras of Strasburg is the best in the world,
but very few of us have more than a vague
idea of the methods employed for enlarg-
ing the livers of the geese from which it is
made. Now the liver of a goose SO
4" trained" if we may use the expression,
is twelve times as large as nature intended
it to be. In order to obtain this result the
unfortunate geese are subjected to torments
unknown even to the early Christians.
The first thing done is to nail the feet of
the geese fast to planks, so that they may
not arrest the desired tumefaction Of the
liver by ever the slightest movement.
Secondly their eyes are put out, that no
glimpse of the world they have left may
disturb them. Finally, they are crammed
with nuts, a d~elicacy of which they are
extremely fond, but they are not allowed
to drink a drop of water, although they
suffer such tortures from thirst that they
utter piercing cries of agony.-Harpc'

they Miss No Wine Now.

In a certain club in this city the wine
cellar was strangely depleted of its con-
tents. Bottle after bottle of champagne
disappeared and locks seemed no bar
against the thirsty thieves. Finally a new
superintendent was placed in charge, and
turE of mind. He put new locks upon the
cellar, but he did not mean to place his
dependence wholly upon iron bolts. So
he secured a remarkably ugly bull dog,
with a misanthropic disposition, and shut
him in the cellar. There the brute stays
all of the time, except for half an hour
daily, when he is given a run in the sun
light. The dog has no taste for cham
pange, and now the wine stays where it is
/ put until it is wanted in the cafe.-At6any

Hura Gives Up New York,

The New York Sun, the leading Demo-
cratic paper of the East, says: "The Hon.
Frank Hurd has been sent out by the
Democratic campaign managers to deliver
political speeches in Minnesota, Iowa and
Michigan. Passing through Washington
on the way, he said to a friend of his, who
thought himself at liberty to repeat it,
that the Democrats could not win in New
York this year, and the party must look
to the Northwest for electoral votes
"The first duty Of Colonel Brice and
the other members of the National Com
mittee should be to call Mr.. Hurd back.
He should moi be trusted by them any.

He is deficient in common sense, as well as
in the faculty of s~elf-control. He may
know how to make free trade speeches
perhaps, but he does not know how t.
carry on a great political campaign.
"Not win in New York, indeedi Why
then the Democrats are defeated three
months before election day. To lose New
York is to lose the whole contest"

Soil for Grapes.

Do not be afraid of rich soil for grape
vines. They are gross feeders and We
have found that a liberal top dressing OF
well-rotted chip dirt, or naturally strong,
rich prairie soil, has grown our finest crop
of grapes. Grapevines are especially fond
Of animal refuse. If bones, heads or other
butchers ofEal, are buried two, three OF
four feet from a vine, which has been
planted two or more years, and is in good
condition, the roots will soon take possess
ion. We have always put this advice in
practice by burying all small animals
which die land of which farmers have
more or less every year, in our vineyard
and our neighbors have always expressed
| surprise at the luxuriant growth Of on
vines and crops of fruit.-Es.

The Little High Chair.

There was an auction at one of the down
town auction houses recently. A pale,
sad-faced woman, in a plain calico gown,
stood in a crowd. The loud-voiced auc-
tioneer at last came to a lot of plain and
somewhat worn furniture. 1t had belonged
to the pale woman and was being sold to
satisfy the mortgage on it. One by one
the articles were sold, the old bureau to
one, the easy rocker to another, and the
bedstead to a third. Finally the auctioneer
hauled out a child's high chair. 1t was
old and rickety, and as the auctioneer held
it up everybody laughed-everybody ex-
cept the p~ale-faced woman, and a tear
trickled down her cheek.
The auctioneer saw it, and somehow a
lump seemed to come up in his throat.
And his gruff voice grew soft. He remem-
bered a little high chair at home, and how
it had once filled his life with sunshine.
1t was empty now. The baby laugh, the
| two little hands that were once held out to
greet papa from that high chair were gone
forever. He saw the pale-faced woman's
piteous looks, and knew that it meant,
knew that in her eye the little high chair
was more precious than if it had been
made of gold and studded with diamonds.
In imagination he could see the little
dimpled cherub which it once held; could
see the little chubby fist grasping the til
rattle box and pounding the chair full o
hicks; could see the little feet which haC
rubbed the paint off the legs; he coult
hear the growing and laughing in glee, and
now the little high chair was empty. HI
knew there was an aching void in thu
pale-faced woman's heart there was in hi
own.
Don't laugh said the auctionee
softly, as somebody facetiously offered tel
cents, MANY of you have little empt.
high chairs at home which money wouldno
tempt you to part with" Then he hande'
the clerk a bill out of his own pocket, ant
remarked, sold to the lady over there /;
and the pale-faced woman walked on
with the little high chair clasped in he
arms, and tears streamed down her cheeks
The crowd stood back respectfully, an
there was a suspicious moisture in the eye
of the man who had bid ten cents.

summer Diet.

The best diet for hot weather is one
composed chiefly of fruits, grain and milk.
An orange or two before breakfast is an ex-
cellent means of preparing the stomach for
the morning meal, as it c~leanses away the
mucus with which the mucus membrane
lining the stomach becomes covered when
it has been empty for some time. Two
meals are amply sufficient for the majority
Of persons, in the summer season. If any
thing is taken at night, it should be but
very light-some fruit, a glass of milk
q little rice and milk, or something equally
simple-and that should be eaten early
We should remember that during the
summer season less food is required thar
during the cold weather, when SO muei
| food is needed to be used as fuel to main
tain the heat of the body.-Good Health.
