Gen. John NJ Schofeld, who is nov the
general in command of the United States
army, and whom SO many Vermonters had
the pleasure Of seeing at the late muster, is
native Of New York and graduated from
West Point in 1853 as cadet from Illinois.
When the war broke out he was captain
in the LIST artillery was soon appointed
major in the LIST Missouri infantry, and was
chief Of staff to the lamented Gen. Ma
thaniel Lyon who fell in the battle of Viii
sons Creek, Mo, in August, 1861. Scho-
field distinguished himself in that campaign
and battle and rapid promotion followed,
Till in the fall of 1868 he was placed in com
mand of the department of Ohio, and sub
sequently of the Army of the Ohio. He
was one of Gen. Sherman most efficient and
trusted leutenants in the campaign against
Joe johnson and Atlanta in the summer of
1864, and in the fall of that year defeated
Hood in one of the boodiest battles of the
war at Franklin, Tenn. After the close of
the war Gen. Schofeld held important COM
mands, till the retirement of Gen. Sher-
man, and the successive deaths of Han
cock and Sheridan, left him the ranking Of
ficer of the army. Two years ago he sue
seeded Gen. Sheridan as general in chief,
The Burlington Free Press, from which
these facts are taken, adds that Gen, Scho-
field "is gentleman as well as soldier,
He is a man of high intelligence and va
ried information, and he worthily fills his
high position"

patiently and persistently say to the instru-

persistence answer him with "pecia.' He
says that it was enough to make him crazy,
but he stuck toituntil he succeeded. "Now,"
he remarked, "you may read a thousand
words of newspaper at the rate Of $50
words per minute and the instrument will
repeat them to you without an omission"
Mr. Edison confirmed the report that he
has nearly perfected an invention which
will allow man in Wall street, for instance,
to telephone to a friend in Central park,
and to see the friend at the same time He
has already succeeded in reproducing images
at a distance Of thousand feet. It would,
he thought, be ridiculous to dream Of see
ing any one between New York and Paris.
"The round form of the earth, If there
were no other difficulty in the way, would

says he has given a great deal of thought to

adds that the chief development of electric
ity will come only when we have found a
more economical manner of producing it.

The autumn, too, has its delicate blooms,

A correspondent of the Nashville Ameri-

exist using words which the closest observ-
er will hear used only at very rare intervals
by few people, and never forming the ba-

The Onl, Way to become a Capi,aIi-,

Somebody must save money and the

money they may be not only sharers of
profits, but owners of stock and receivers
Of dividends. And the workmen can save
their money, if they will, 1t is the only
way in which they can permanently and
surely improve their condition. Legisla-
tive reforms, improved industrial methods,
may make the way easier for them, but
there is no road TO comfort and independ-
ence, after all, but the plain, old path of
steady work aud sober saving If the
working people of this country would save,
for the next five years, the money that
they spend ON beer and tobacco and base
ball, they could control pretty large share
Of the capital employed in the industries
by which they get their living and they
could turn the dividends of this capital
from the pockets of the money-lenders into
their own. There is no other way of check

The autumn leaves are whirlcd away;
The sober skies look down
On faded fields and woodlands gray
And the dun -colored town.
Through the brown orchards gusty aisle,
In ad-hued gown aud hood,
SLOW passes, with peaceful smile,
A maiden pure and Il,
Her deep serene, and dovp-likc eyes
Are downward bent; her face,
WhereOn the days pale shadow lies
Is sweet with nameless grace.
The frolc wind beside her blows;
The scar leaves dance and leap;
with hands before her claspcd, she goes
As In a waking sleep.
To her the ashen skies are bright,
The russet earth is fair;
And never shOne a clearer light,
Nor breathed a softer air.

Transmutes to sun the shade
Thine are the beams that fill the heart
OF this meek Quaker maid.

with interest the development of civil SER
vice reform in the United States, and in the

sympathies are with the reformers, but he
does not see clearly how the country is go

who il H. H. Warner, of Rochester,
n. Y, whose Safe Remedies, especially
Warmers Safe Cure, have attained such
success and celebrity at homo and
abroad?"
The question is inspired ~ much by
affection as curiosity, since through his
fundamentally hundreds of thousands,
In both hemispheres, have been restored
to health and happiness.
Hon. H. II. Warner, then, is leading
and honored resident Of Rochester, net
only, but . prominent and influential
citizen Of the United States. On several
occasions chosen by lis party as Ma
tional delegate tn nominate q President
of the Republic, he has been member
of the Republican State Committee and
of it's Executive Committee. He is q
member of the American Institution for
the Advancement of Science President
of the Rochester Chamber of Commerce /;
q successful and upright business man.
He has given away fortunes in charities.
The celebrated and costly Warner
Observatory of Rochester was conceived,
endowed, and is maintained by him.
His munificent prizes for the discovery
of comets has been at once the wonder
and delight of the scientific world.
The yellow fever scourage in the South +,
the Ohio foods, the fire disasters OF
Rochester and other cities awakened his
profoundest sympathies and in each in
stance his check for from $500 to 5000
swelled the several relief funds. Where
other wealthy men give tens and hun
dreds, he gives hundreds and thousands.
His charities are as ready and magniti
cent a. his enterprises and public spirit
are boundless.
The world has need OF more such men.
An incident led him into the manufact-
ure of medicine. Seized some twelve
years ago with what the ablest physicians
termed fatal kidney disease, he was
mirsculously restored to health by what
Is now known as Warmers Safe Cure.
At once he resolved to make known the
merits of 90 potent a remedy, and the
consequence is that to-day he has i'm.
mense laboratories and warehouses in
the United States, Canada, England,
Germany, Austria, Australia and Bur
nah. Sales OF his Safe Remedies are
enormous, and their power over disease
simply marvellous. 80
