Newsham, who lives in this State, told
several of us once that he had put the
question to General Sherman one day,
and that the old commander gave him
this reply: 1t was short time after
the battle Of Corinth. Sherman had
reported to HalleclS, who was in COM
mand, and was there informed that
Grant intended to resign. Grant was
under Halleck's command. When
Sherman heard of this he mounted his
horse and rode to Grants headquar-
tess. Grant was sore about the treat
ment he had received and told Sher-
man he would stand it no longer. He
handed Sherman piece Of paper on
which was Grants resignation. Sher-
man asked Grant if he would do him a
favor, and Grant replied in sorrow
full way that he would if it lay in his
power. Sherman tore the resignation
into fragments and said he wanted
Grant to withhold his resignation for
two weeks. Grant consented with hes
itation. When the two weeks We're up
Halleck had been retired and Grant
was reinstated, for Sherman had re-
moved him. That said Old Tecum-
sch, 4 consider was the turning point
of the war"

The, Forestry Question.


A careful weighing of mass of evil
dence leads to the following con-
illusions:
1. That the destruction of forests
gradually but surely decreases the
amount of rainfall.
2. That springs and small streams al
most invariably disappear with our
forests.
8. That our large streams shrink
greatly in volume, especially with the
removal of the forests from about the
sources or head waters.
4. That the removal of forests, which
alone tend to hold and distribute water
uniformly throughout the seasons. has
brought and will continue to bring in
an increasing ratio proportionate to the
rapidity of such removal, devastating
floods upon the river valleys of our
country.
5. That since climate is intimately af-
fected by conditions of moisture, and
that timber growth absorbs and radiates
heat, as we'll as protects from sweeping
winds, the removal of forests must ma
terially affect the climatic conditions of
the country.
6. That the forestry question being
one of great public interest and moment,
and already being largely in the hands
of the general and State governments,
should be taken entire control of by the
same, that uniform measures may be
adopted for the protection and extension
of our forests.
