"Phil" Sheridan's Narrow Escape.

Archie Wason tells an interesting
anecdote about the late General Sheri-
| dan. Years ago. when the California
Theatre was in its most prosperous
days under the management of Barrett
and Mccullough, and when Mr.. Wason
was Colonel of the Sd Regiment, the
regiment gave General Sheridan re-
ception at the theatre.
Little Phir'was standing behind the
wings taking quiet peep at the audi
ence. Suddenly he pointed at Musician
Blyth and asked the Colonel:
Isn't that Blythe
On being answered that that was the
man. General Sheridan said:
Ask him to come up here on the
stage
Hello, Blyth!' exclaimed the Gen.
era- almost wringing the musicians
hand off his wrist. This man saved
my life, gentlemen"
He then told the story of their old
time friendship. When Sheridan was
a young cavalry officer on the border
Blyth was a private in his troop. One
day the troop had spirited hand-to-
hand fight with the Indians.
Sheridan. as usual. was in the thick
est, and just as he was Swishing his
sabre over the head of red devil who
had shot at him with a revolver, another
Indian lassoed the General around the
neck.
In another moment he would have
been pulled off his horse and trampled
to death under the horses had not
Blyth promptly cut the lasso with his
sabre.
Sheridan, who by this time had his
ire thoroughly aroused. pursued the
Indian who had thrown the lariat and
almost decapitated him with a stroke
of his sabre.-!Sdn Francisco E,ranai-

RUINS OF ACITYIN TEXAS

During the survey of the Kansas City,
Ell Paso and the Mexican railroad, tee
surveyors came across the r1Ins of the
city of Gran Guivera known already 10
the early Spanish explorers, but seldom
visited by white men of the present day.
These ruins at Gcan Guivera are of gi
gsntic stone bulldogs of magnificent
proportions aud built in a very snbstan
tial manner. One was four acres in ex
tent. Every indication around the ruins
was evidence of the existence here at one
time of g dense population, although now
it is forty miles from water. 70 the
south lies the lava flow, called by the
local population the Molpsis. 1t is sea
of molten black glass, which has conled
retaining its ragged and Enthusiastically
shaped waves from ten or twelve feet
high. 1t Is about forty miles long ald
from one to ten miles wide. For miles
on all sides the country lies buried in
fine white ashes, to depth as yet not
reached by any digging. No legend ex
lists "a 70 the destruction or abandon

engineers of the surveying party advances
the theory that Gran Guivera was in ex.

ton took place which so desolated and
burned up the surrounding country

A SLEEP WALKERS ADVENTURE

The other night young man living
near here got up in bis sleep, partially
blessed himself, descended to the yard
and jumped into the well. The plunge
bath, of course, woke him up. He strug-
gled to the top, being a good swimmer
and while clutching about in the dark on
the surface of the water he got hold of
the chaln which worked over pulley
and which had a buckle at both ends
He threw his weight on the chain but the
pulley worked easily, and the bucket on
the otherend shot up aud the young man
shot down toward the bottom of the well.
Sundry well directed but .srasmodic
kicks brought him to the top again; but
just at that moment tho recently ascend
ed bucket, which had turned down again
when he turned the chain loose, met the
top of his head with a severe blow, which
ducLed him under again.
Reaching the surface again, ard with
a GOODNESS and presence Of mind which
was remarkable under the clrcu distances,
he gathered the chain aud while tread
ing water" as the boys call it, he gently
pulled the chain causing the bucket to
ascend until it hit the pulley at the top
of the we'll frame. Now he had sold
hold, and, finding the stepholes on the
side of the well he soon mounted to the
curbing and sprang out upon terra tirma.

The Care of Books.

The care of books is a subject con-
corning which pupils should receive
more instruction than is generally
given in schools. The need of it is
apparent in the soiled. dogeared
volumes that are so numerous in every
schoolroom. Much of this destruction
of property is the result of ignorance
or careleSsnesS. Books are the tools
OF the student, and he should be taught
to take as much pride in their condition
as Il mechanic takes in his tools.
Clean hands are the first necessity in
the proper handling of books, and
every Schoolroom should be furnished
with facilities for washing the hands
when soiled. Every pupil should have
4 desk to himself, so that there may
be ample space on the desk and within
it to dispose of his volumes properly,
and be held responsible for their con-
ditioa.
Eternal vigilance on the part of the
teacher is the price of a well-ordered
School-room. At least once week
every teacher should inspect the books
of her scholars. Let her do it after
reading this article and see. what she
will find. If they have been used for
any considerable time the majority of
the volumes will be dog-eared, a
procliyity that can not be stopped
when once fairly begun in a book.
Many books viii exhibit the names of

not to be wondered at that school

June 6, 1874, 80 as to extend the benefit
OF all pension laws to all pensioners
whose pensions have been granted by
special acts subsequent to said date, and
that pensions be granted the widows of
soldiers who died from causes originate
ing in service prior to 1861 during the
time of peace. He further recommends
that the act of March 8, 1877, be amendt d
to grant pensions to those who, having
participated in the rebellion, eubse-
quently enlisted in the army or navy of
the United States and were disabled
therein.
The Commissioner recommends
new legislation to rectify inequalities in
rates, and cites instances to show unfair.
ness in the rates now provided by law
He thinks this statute should be am tended
so as to permit the rate of $72 month to
be proportionately divided for all dis
abilities shown to be incident to service in
the line of duty. The injustice and I'M
fairness caused by the law of June 16,
1880, limiting the right of pensioners to
receive $72 per month, to those who were
receiving $50 per month at the date of
the law, he thinks SHOULD be corrected.
No provision is made for grading this rate
for persons totally helpless on that date,
but not receiving $50 at the time, and
none for those who have become totally
helpless since that date.
The Commissioner proposes to nensit n
all soldiers vino were disabled. Ga this
point he says: GAS the war period re-
cedes from US, and age and its attendant
infifmity and affections sweep over the
veteran, he asks the serious question
whether the Government does him JUS
tice in limiting the application of the
pension laws to those disabilities only
which were contracted in the service. I
earnestly recommend that pension be
granted to every honorably discharged
soldier and sailor who is now or who
may hereafter become disabled, and
without regard to whether such dis
ability is chargeable to the service of the
United States, or has been contracted
since discharged therefrom."
The Commissioner calls attention to
what he believes to be q manifestly in
sufficient sum ($2 per monthly granted
by the act Of 1866, to widows for the care
and support of minor children under 16
years of age. The Commissioner also
favors pension for army nurses, and
makes an earnest plea in their behalf.

THE Sewer Committee of the Council
and the Sewer Commission met yester-
day; and, after inviting the citizens OF
Vernon and vicinity to meet them on
that day, adjourned to Tuesday next.
The object in issuing this call is to get
positive and personal evidence from the
people residing in the district as to the
effect of the utilization of the sewage as
fertilizer on the health of the inhabi-
tants adjoining the point of distribution.
Without attempting to anticipate devel-
opments, the opinion of those best quail
fed to Judge is that if the sewage is dis
infected ard deodorized there will be no
objections to it's delivery in the regions
where it will be delivered under the
proposed new sewer system. At least
that is the opinion at which the HERALD
has arrived, and the best method has
been taken of getting at the real senti-
ment of those who have most at stake.
