DISCOURTESY TO GENERAL SHERMAN.
The Old Warrior Compelled to Move On" Out
ofa Car Chartered by Phil Sheridan Post.

CHICAGO. Aug. 31.-Grand Army men in
this city were very much stirred up. to-day,
about an interview with Maj. Hoyt Sher-
man. a brother of Gen. w. Il. Sherman,
which was published in the morning papers
here. The gist of it was that when the
General end his brother reached the depot
in Milwaukee, Thursday night, to take the
train for this city, at the close of the Ma
tionaI Encampment. the old warrior was
very much fatigued; hat they were shown
into a car and werejust comfortably seated,
when a lot of members of Phil Sheridan
Post, of Chicago. came into the car; that
they insisted that the occupants had no
right there, and that the General and his
brother were compelled to seek seats else
where. Mr.. w. C.. Curtis, commanders of Phil
Sheridan Post, Sas interviewed TO-DAY in
regard TO the matter. Mr.. Curtis admitted
that it was an awkward affair, but held
that the members of the post were not TO
thought. arose out of the fact that the Cen
eral was tired and his brother unnecessari-
ly quick tempered. The facts, he SAID. were
that the car had been chartered by a num-
Der of members of the post who had their
wives with them. When they reached the
depot they found the seats taken, and not
knowing that General Sherman was on
board, ordered the porter to clear the car,
which he proceeded to do. When the dis
covery was made that General Sherman
was being elected, a member of the post Of
fered him his seat, which was declined.
Mr.. Curtis says that the General did not
seem angered about the matter, but that
Major Sherman was in a high dudgeon.
They went forward into another car, where
seats had been reserved for them.

years Agassiz established his views by
the study Of the Swiss glaciers, and
when he came to America in 1846 there
was no opposition worthy of note. His
greatest delight in visiting America was
to find further evidence of the great
Ice Age, and of all his work as a natur-
alist his Geological Sketches, mainly
devoted to glaciation, command, to the
greatest extent, the assent and admira-
ton of the present time.
The discovery of Agassiz stands in
Importance and immensely with any in
the natural history of either force or mat
ter. The majesty of the ice movement,
as shown in the elaciated regions of
North America, is equaled only in the
movement of the forces in. astronomy,
or those great seismic forces which have
elevated the mountains and established
the continental reliefs. Besides these,
earthquakes and volcanic outfows are
as nothing. Every human interest in
the northern part Of the United States
and of British America is profoundly af-
feCted by the ice movements of the
past. During the Ice Age old lines of
drainage were obliterated and new es-
tablished. The obstruction of river
courses by glacial deposits gave rise
to the innumerable waterfalls,
which became the business centers
of New England and the interior.
The great lakes are the result of similar
glacial obstruction, and the vast inter-
nal commerce of the lake region avails
itself of slackwater navigation result
ing from the ice movements of the gla-
cial period. The anomalous distribu-
ton of plants and animals, which has al
ready been referred to in Europe and
America, is the result of glacial action.
Tie Arctic butterflies and Alpine flow
ers on Mount Washington and the gil
gantic forests of California were fugi-
tives from arctic regions in glacial
times, and have since become natural

The uniform soil of Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois, whatever may be the character
of the underlying rock, is due to the
glacial forces which mixed the clay,
lime, iron, sandstone and potash of
northern rocks into an even mass and
distributed it over IN area a thousand
miles square throughout the United
States and British America.
Man himself is now regarded as con-
nected with the closing centuries of the
glacial age-the United States. Stone
implements found by Professor Wright
and others-in and under the glacial drift
lin Indiana give abundant reasons for
believing that man, also, was driven be-
fore the great ice sheets, and has slowly
worked his way back again as the region
became habitable. But this greatest
devastation the world has ever suffered,
If shared by man, was doubtless in his
final interest, and a part of the education
which has brought him to his present
state of deyelODment.

A LONa-PELT WANT SUPPLIED.

-
Life will be worth living, after all, for
millions of women if the dish-washing
machine invented by the Illinois woman
does all that is claimed for it. A dish
washing machine has been the long-felt
want of the civilized feminine world.
The term "the" is used advisedly, for
though other wants have been deep and
urgent, none is so universal as the need
of something to do away with the labor
of DISTINGUISHING. The normally cOnsti-
tuted woman has a natural and deep
seated antipathy to dish-water, and all
that the word implies. For ages she
protested against the necessity of devot-
ing herself three times a day, for three
hundred and sixty-fve days in the year,
to cleaning greasy china, to say nothing
of pots and pans. For all these ages she
has wished for a dish-washing machine
much as she might wish for the moor,
and has gone on welding the dish-towel
with unbrOken regularity, hopeless of
help. Administrations might rise and
fall, campaigns come and go, suffragists
might appeal to her to rise and demand
the ballot box, but so long as no pOliti-
clan or reformer offered release from her
chief burden she has declined to become
excited or to "rise." Even the ~cOnsOla-
tons of religion lack their full power
with the female dish-washer. Amachine
to do her work, rather thar grace to bear
her trials, has seemed the one thing
needful. And now, at last, there is a
promise of relief. With a machine which
viii wash, rinse and dry dozens of
dishes in two minutes, what a prospect
opens before her. She will have time
then for many things from which she
has been cut off by the dish-pan-for
rest, for society, for getting acquainted
with her family, for politics, if she wants
it, and for religion. 1t will be a new
and glorifed world with the kitchen in
cubus removed. To be sure, cooking is
left, but has not every housewife been
heard to say, times without number,
that she doesn't mind the cooking; it is
the dish-washing that kills."
All over this broad land women are
turning hopefully and prayerfully to the
Illinois sister and benefactor. If her
machine equals the promise they will
canonize her and build her a monument
higher than Washington's. Her name
will stand with those of Elias Howe and
Edison, and all the other great invent
ors of the age. But, on the other hand,
If it prove that they are buoyed up by
false hopes, the consequences may be
disastrous. For her own sake it will be
well for the Illinois woman to hide her
self in the deepest ~obscurity should her
machine turn out to be a fraud and a
delusiOn.

days like these which are relentlessly
drawing near him. In torrid August,

cicada and the mournful plant of that
guilty insect which alternately "did" and
didn't bear an autumnal edge upon
their summer insignia. A little further

back invisibly upon the bed, the dust
that flies unconquered with State-fair
festivity in its breath, the first bright
winged autumn leaf upon the pavement,
all point with merciful yet unrelent-
ing insistence to the impending trans
formation. Yeta few days and the sea and
summer tourist has returned. Windows
are opened, verandas are again peopled,
and tea by gas-light, and the small boy
grooming loudly W the painful prox-
unity of opening school, attest, with
settled emphasis, that doom is near; that
this all so pleasant and so perfect sum
mer is a back number, waiting to be
labeled and laid ash lie with others of its
kind. So noiselessly and painlessly has
the transition crept on to fullness that
no resentment can be harbored. Autumn
comes in with such hustle and such a
business air that the tickle heart is di-
verted from mourning. Schools are
open and shining morning faces of count
less children bedeck the streets.
Ministers are at home again, and
promising breezes fill the but yes
terday idly-1apping sails of the good
old ship of Zion. Store-windows are
ablaze with seductive new goods. and
the merchant hath a brisk, expectant,
now-for-business countenance. Even
ings are dark and dewy, and the o
light sessions of the doorstep club have
adjourned to surround the evening
lamp. Reading is taken into favor
again, and the physique which has sim
ply existed and reveled hath taken On
once more a seeking and responsible
mentality. After a brief interval the
leafy bonfire shall strangle with smoke
the indulgent constituents of the small
boy; the heavily-laden grape-arbor shall
have taken for its whey burden winter
quarters in the enriched jelly-closet, the
watermelon wave shall have died awayin
pleasant murmurs in the same tOoths0me
retreat; and the glamour and the glory Of
the summer. moon shall have been OBJ
scured from its adorers by the beaming,
refulgent, sympathetic c~ountenance of
the American pumpkin pie. So much of
poetry and of practically pass in in
structive vision before the belated eye
which looks upon its. calendar to learn,
and yet scarcely credit, that summer has
melted into September.

FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH is, 1889.

The field in Washington city, which our
Republican friends all over the Union are
impatient to begin the looting of, is the
central point of interest now. 1t will be
disheartening news to them to hear that
over three-fourths of the offices there, are,
under President Clevelands civil service
method of administering the government,
still occupied by Republican ''hold overs y
and that to get in they must get a Republi-
can office-holder out. The Washington
correspondent of the New York Herald,
who has been going into the statistics of
the situation, gives the following condition
of affairs in three of the Departments:
Treasury, $50 ''hold overs, with 81, $50, 900
annual pay, and $40 Democratic appointments,
with 1878, $40 annual pay.
INTERIOR ,674 'hold overs, with $4,000, 900
annual pay, and 456 Democratic appointments,
with s55O,000 annual pay.
POstoffice-44S ''hold overs" with $3.50 000
annual pay, and 143 Democratic appointments,
$175,OOO pay.
The curses once bestowed on Mr.. Cleve-
land for removing so many Republican
of1ice-holders at Washington, will now be
yet more literally bestowed on him fol
removing so few.
