correspondent writes to the Wash
;nyton .Srr rs follows: October, 1864, sf-
Ger the battle Of Cedar Creek, in Virginia,
IN which General Sheridan defeated the
last attempt Of General Eariy to invade
the North by way Of the Shenandoah
Valley. / heard President Lincoln, at the
War Department. in Mr. stanton's room,
speaking to him Of General Sheridan and
of his victories over General Early, state
that Of all our fighting Generals, sheri-
dan was more like Napoleon than any OF
them; more like him particularly In the
forehead and in the general mould Of the
buss. The President said he thought the
Shenandoah Valley would never be the
high way for another rebel advance into
Maryland.
The liking Of General Sheridan to Ma
poleon in personal appearance about the
head was followed by expressions from
the President that sheridan had effectu-
ally closed that road TO the North Ii
was that famous Sheridan's ride that saw
ed Washington from panic like that
which Early produced in July, 1864. Mr..
Stanton had in his room on the marble
mantle little book Of about 800 pages,
which contained as frontispiece, like
ness of Napoleon. and he took il, and
turning to the frontispiece, handed it to
the President, saying that there was
resemblance about the forehead and bust.
Sometime prior to this. when our armies
were being slaughtered by piecemeal in
Virginia. Mr.. Stanton had received a let
ter from some prominent person calling
his attention to Saving of Napoleon's,
that one commander for an army was
better than two armies with independent
commanders, when he told me to get him
this book on Napoleon from the librsry.
They talked for some time about General
Sheridan, who had, several days before
his Cedar Creek battle, defeated Early,
and heard Mr. Stanton then say to the
President that Grant and Sheridan would
end the war very soon with such fighting.
1t was after and in connection with this
SAYING of Napoleon that the President is
reported as having said that one bad gem
eral was better than two good ones.

outwitted the Cashier.

A young man who has a deposit in a
down town savings bank, called one
morning and asked to withdraw a single
dollar
I'VE don't bother with nothing less
than s.. IL you want s. you can have it
but nothing less"
But it is printed in the pass book
that sums OF 81 and upward will be re-
ceiyed on deposit
Yes, but that's different thing. You
can deposit less than s."
The young man was thoughtful for a
moment and then he said well let me
have s. in 81 bills" The money was
gracefully aipped out to him. He put
one Of the bills into mis- pocket and hand
ed the remaining four back with the re-
mark, that he wished to deposit the
money!
The bank man reached for his sword
cane, and was inclined TO be indignant.
but when his wrath faded into smile
he said they would have to send out a
fire alarm and amend the rules.-N. y.

The rerietropo lp Winter.

With good management the heliotrope may be made to bloom profusely during winter in either the window or conserva- tory. To have Q supply of winter and spring blooms, select plants that were started from slips in June, and which have low. bushy forms.
 During the fo"ering stage the plants should have from 50 degs. to co dcgs. of heat and about once a week, or when in full bloom twice a week. they may with benefit receive .iquid manure at the roots. The plants, like the flowers themselves. after cutting do better for not being crowded together or with others.
 The heliotrope delights in compost consisting of three parts of fresh loam or dccayed turf to one part ofrotted manure, with Q good sprinkling of sharp sand added.
 In dealing with that common pest of such pl0nts. the green fly. care must be taken that the foliage be not injured with the usual remedy-tobacco smoke This remedy may with safety be applied in moderately strong volume if the simple precaution of swinging or otherwise com pletely wetting the foliage just previous to starting the Immigration is observed, otherwise the plants would be liable to become badly burned.

In building fence around our young orchards several years ago we tried many plans for preserving posts. Having oc. casion to remove the fence this winter we noted the conditions of the posts as follows Those set with no preparation we1e decayed an inch or more in thick ness; those coated with a thick wash of lime were better preserved, but were quite seriously attacked by worms; those posts coated with hot tar vero perfectly sound as when put ill the ground; those painted with petroleum and kerosene were equally as sound and as good for setting Let the posts get thoroughly dry, and then with pan Of cheap kerosene and a whitewash brush, give the lower third of the post, the part to go into the ground, two or three applications of the oil, let ting it soak in well each time. Posts so treated will uot be troubled by worms or insects of any kind, but will resist decay to a remarkable degree. This We find to be the simplest, easiest, cheapest and best method of preservation.
