SHERMAN AND LINCOLN.
The Generals First Impressions We're Not
Favorable.
Youths Companion.

Youth Companion.
General Sherman makes no secret OF
the fact that his first impressions Of
President Lincoln were decidedly uu-
favorable. He came TO know him better
before long, however, and describes with
evident satisfaction visit which the
president made to the army of the Poto-
mac, noon after the battle of Bull Run.
General or Colonel Sherman, as his
title then was, asked Mr.. Lincoln, If he
intended to speak to the men, and added
4hat he hoped he would discourage all
cheering aud confusion.
Mr.. Lincoln stood up in his carriage,
and, as Gen. Sherman says, made one OF
the neatest, best and most feeling aa'
dresses ever listened to. Once or twice
the boys began to cheer, but The president
promptly checked them, rsmarklng IL
his own peculiar manner;
Don't cheer boys: l confess | rather
like it myself, but Colonel Sherman here,
says it isn't military, and guess 70 hAo
better defer to his opinion"
After the speechmsking wac over 81
officer approached the carriage, evident,
~ in a state Of great excitement ana
said: "Mr. President, have cause OF
grievance. This morning | went 20

toward the soldier, said in loud s'ase

Recent tests for color blindness made
by the British board of trade give some
surprising and rather alarming results.
In the report of the official examination q
it is stated that one seaman Of fourteen
years experience was unable to distin-
guish red from green. As these are the
port and starboard lights Displaced
sea, his ignorance might at any time
prove fatal. Out OF 800 men sixteen
were color blind, and all OF these were
unconscious of the fact. No better illus.
tration could be given of the need of a
system of rigid inspection upon this
point, such as have often been agitated
in these columns II is quite possible
that more than one apparently uDexplin-
able collision has been brouhht about by
the defective vision of the lookout.

II the Emperor william can accom- p
plish his desires the German Empire will
soon have a navy worthy OF the name
While the present naval sy stem of that
country ia efficient, it il too small to be
considered great factor in the national
armament. The large sea-coast of Ger
many makes formidable navy matter
of much Importance. 1t is the intention
Of the Emperor William TO secure from
the Reichstgg It's authority TO expend in
the construction of new armor clad bat
tie ships and gun boats about $50 100000
This woEld not give the empire navy
superior to that Of France or England,
but would place it moro nearly on par
with those nations, Perhaps the German
Empire needs a strong sea armament, aud
in view of the condition OF Etfopean at
fairs the expenditure may be IHuhed.
But what is to become of the people !
Now in order to maintain the army and
this cost of new navy will add greater
weight to the heavy load they nov carry.
There seems to be no prospect of relief
so long as they have an Emperor Who
believes that war is the only solution Of
all international difficulties, and who
seems ready to preoipitate a struggle mp
on slight pre.ext.

If the New York papsrs are TO be &C
cepted as authority, the experiment of
appointing women to places upon the
school board has not resulted successful
ly. Since Mira. Agnew and Miss Codge
took their seats as members of the school
board of the metropolis there has been
many dissentions in that body. The
ladies have their ideas of school govern
ment, and as they are not shared by the
male members, trouble has ensued in
every case. It is claimed that these dis
putes have been to the great dstriment
of the pubic school system of New York.
This is unfortunate for she schools and
unfortunate for the women.

ENGLAND AND AMERICA.

Lord Randolph Churchill on their Relation
LoNpoN.--Lord Randolph Churchill,
in speech at Paddington, on Satur-
minister at Washington would soon be
filed. He said there was no doubt that
Lord Sackville had been primarily indis-
Greet ard hal made an inexcusable blum
der. No fault could be found with the
action of the United States government
towards the minister. Churchill depce-
Gated the insulting and menacing articles
which had appeared in the English press
since Lord Sackville's dismissal, and said
that the Englishmen ought to inform
Americans that they cherish no Ill feeling
towards them. Lord Randolph attached
great i'm portance to the maintenance by
England of an impertur babe and friendly
attitude towards the United States. He
regarded the attitude taken by Mr..
Cleveland after the rejection of the fish
cry treaty by the senate as an unfortuu-
ate one. The utmost allowance ought to
be made for the American position on
the Saekville affair in view or the time at
which it occurred. Cleyeland's action had
been rather sharp, but it did not
Justify the menGces, sneers and sulks
in which the newspapers of England had
INDUCED. A war between England and
America he declared would be more afro
cious and dangerous than any war since
God created the earth. He trusted the
governments policy towards the new
Washington administration would be
conceived with a view to making the
American people our best allies on all
questions, and to producing durable
friendship between the English speaking
races, thus guaranteeing to humanity in
turn tine blessings of liberty and peace.

of the strong feeling Of the Wurtem

f1S0I. He was the eldest OF two sons OF iona.
than and Clarissa (Hutchinson) Remele. John
Remele, his grandfather, owned a farm in
Whiting, and was pastor of the congregations
al church i'll that place, and was chaplain i'll the
war OF the Revolution in Col. Doolittle's regi-
ment. The father died when Loyal G. was
about FIVE years OF age. At the age OF ID he
went to live with his grandfather Hutchinson,
with whom he lived "A few years. when he was
bound out to Asa Jones of Shoreham during
his minority. For two or three years after at
tanning his majority he worked by the month
among the neighboring farmers. He was
twice married-the first time to Samantha,
daughter of John and Sally Barker OF Leices
ter. His second wife was Alma. daughter of
Timothy and Polly Alden, to whom he was
married May Il, 1852, and who survives him.
Both of his wives were descendants in the
sixth generation OF JOIN Alden, who came
over in the Mayfiower in 1920 and who was a
magistrate OF Plymouth colony tor more than
fifty years.
Mr.. Remedies whole life was devoted to az.
riculture, and he was one of the prominent
farmers OF Addison county, who gave especial
attention to the breeding OF spanish Mer1no
sheep. Enlincntly successful In his life work,
his example should be a stimulus and hope to
the struggling young man OF today. Lett at
an early age to buffet the winds and the
waves; seemingly thrown into the stream to
save himself, ii worthy OF being saved, he
fought his way through every obstacle, dem
onstratiDg his real worth and right to stand in
the front rank OF the successful farmers OF the
county. His own early and bitter struggles,
instead of making him cold and selfish, made
warm and tender his heart towards those
whom adversely touched with icy fingers. HIS
considerate blindness to those in need Will
give him an abiding place in the hearts OF his
neighborsiand friends. n monument more en-
during than marble. a great reader and care
