An Episode at Delmonico's.
From the New YORK sun

At Delmonico's just previous to the Wyn-
dom breakfast, Gen. Sherman was seated
in one of the reception rooms talking to
Charles WINDOW and Col. Edward l.. Al
friend of Richmond. The editor Of a news
paper passed through the room and Gen.
Sherman nodded to him and remarked to
his companions that the editor was drum
mer boy under him at Shiloh.
"Such is the whirligig OF time, general
said Mr.. Wyndom.
"Why. sir,n responded the old general,
"tbere were four governors of states who
were bugersunder me, and before the war
was over they had risen to the rank Of
major generals"
'sIt Is certainly remarkable" said Mr..
Wyndom, shat men who entered the army
In such humble way should rise to the
rank of major-general in ons war"
''My dear sir,n said Gen. Sherman, "you
must remember that our war was one OF
the greatest wars that was ever fought. 1t
was a fight between people of the same race.
You know that when Greek meets Greek
then comes the tug Of war, and that was
true Of us. We had determined enemy,
and. by the way, there sits one of them
now, over there" and the general pointed
to Col. Thomas p. Ochiltree, who was sit
ting on settee with bis crutches resting
across his arm.
like my Texas friend" said Col. Alfriend-
where did you serve, sirp asked Gen.
Sherman.

jackson and afterward under Gen. Lee.n
ssGive me your hand, sir, y said Gen. Sher-
man. standing up and reaching for Cox
Alfriend's hand 81 am always glad to
meet with brave ex-confederate soldier
and man who has had the distinction Of
serving under two such brave commanders. y

Removal of Moles by Electritity.
From the Medical News.

If the growth is the elevated, warty mole,
its removal by electricity is admirable.
The brown pigment mole may also be de-
stroyed in this way, but it is not quite as
clean-cut an operation. With the warty
mole, inject into it few drops of or 9
per cent. cocaine, and as soon as it is be-
numbed transfx the growth at the base,
exactly on the level of the ad-
iacent skin, the needle having previously
been connected to the negative pole
of galvanic battery. | use about
eight milliamperes current, equivalent
TO about twenty cells OF a thirty-six
cell battery, if In good condition. One
could use from twelve to sixteen, or even
twenty cells The positive sponge electrode
may be held by the patient in the hand,
unless the current would pass through the
eye, when small sponge electrode must be
pressed upon the face at some point that
would avoid this objection. Very soon
after the current is completed, bubbles OF
gas pass out along the points OF entrance
and exit of the needle, and the mass be-
comes blanched Hold the needle there
half a minute to minute. Transfix again
at right angles, taking care tointeTupt the
current by taking of the sponge electrode
before the needle is withdrawn.

OUR TINY LIGHT-olvER.
me Numerous Processes Necessary
in Match Making.
WON the Chica0o Mal.

From the Chicago Mall.
Inc operation of making matches from Q
pine log may be divided into four heads,
viz, preparing the splints, dipping the
matches, box-making and filling. Whea
the timber IL brought into the outting
room OF the factory ii is seized upon by
gang OF men, who place it before circular
saw, where IL is cut into blocks fifteer
inches long, which is the length Of sever
matches. 1t Is then freed of its bark and
taken to the turning-athe, where, by means
OF special form of fixed cutting band
running its entire length, a continuous roll
the thickness of the match is cut of.
As the block revolves and decreases In di.
ameter the knife advances and
band or veneer of uniform
thickness is obtained. As the
veneer rolls off the knife it Is met by eioh,
small knives, which cut it into seven separ-
ate bands, each the size of a match. By
this one operation seven long ribbons Of
wood, each the length and thickness Of
match, are obtained. These are ther
broken into pieces six feet long, the knotty
parts removed, and they are then fed into
n machine which looks and acts like
straw-chopper, which cuts them into single
matches. The machine cuts $50 bands al
the Same time, and a mechanical device
puSheo tuelH IorWhru bn0 thickness OF
match at each stroke of the cutter. This
little machine with its one sharp knife car
cut over 100000 matches day.
From the cutting room the splints are
taken to the dry room, where they are
placed In revolving drums. which absorbs al
the moisture the splint may contain. They
are then prepared for the dipping process
which isl very important operation, as each
splint must have sufficient space to be fully
coated and yet not placed so close to the
Others as to cause the mixture to close the
heads Of the other splints. To do this they
are placed under an ingeniously constructed
machine, which seems to work with almost
human intelligence, and are caught up and
placed closely but at regular intervals in q
dipping frame. These frames contain
forty-four movable lathes, and between
each lathe the machine places with clock.
work regularity fifty splints, making over
1000 splints In each frame
The heads OF the splints are all on The
same level, aud a single attendant at each
machine can place over a million splint
in the frames per day. The dipping vat
Is stove OF masonry, which contains three
square pans. The first pan is for heating
the splints SO they will absorb the mixture;
the second contains molten parafflne, In
which the points are dipped, and in the
third they are coated with the igniting com.
position. Over 8,000,0 matches can be
dipped by a skillful workman In ono day.
After the dipping process the matches are
driod while still In the frames aud are then
taken TO tho packing room, where they are
put into boxes by hand.

DREAMS OF HIS FEARFUL FIGHT.
DR.. Galvin's Battle With Dog Over
a Newborn Baby.
From the Ne,c York World


Boston, Jan. I0-Dr. G.. ". Calvin told
a graphic story TO Judge Thompson in the
third session of the superior civil court this
morning. He had brought an action of
tort against Mrs. Mary Parker, who keeps
a restaurant at tie South End, for injuries
received while defending her newly born
child from the assaults of a savage dog
DR.. Calvin said he was called ore day last
summer to attend Mrs. Parker during her
ACCOMPLISHMENT. Her child was laid upon
the bed while some offic S were performed
for the mother. Suddenly from the corner
of the room sprang out a large bull
dog. He leaped upon the bed and
attempted to seize the newly born babe
The doctor sprang to the chld's de-
Tense and placed it in the arms
Of the nurse. Then the savage animal, bent
upon his prey, attacked the woman and at
tempted to tear the child from her arms.
Again DR.. Calvin interfered, and succeeded
in pushing the woman from the room. The
dog then assailed him furi0usi9, sinking his
fahgs deep into the forearm The doctor
fought for his life and the brute bore him
to the floor, tearing the flesh of the arm
and OF the thigh In the most terrible man
ner. Over and over rolled the dog and
man until the man fEally conquered, and
breathess and limp the dog was hurled
through the window to the ground
The doctor was severely injured and for
many weeks he was unable to practice mis-
profession. Ho has now recovered his
health and strength, but still in his drnams
frequently lives over again the horrors Of
that quarter of an hour. In court to-day
DR.. Calvin got a verdict of 500 against
Mrs Parker. the owner Of the savage brute
and the mother Of the child whose life is
due to his presence of mind and intrepidity.
