some one was found to identify him. Then
the man insisted that Joe JOhnston's entire
army was in front, and that the Colonels
had given out to their regiments that morn
ing that they had caught one wing of Sher-
mans army off by itself and that they would
crush 1t before re-enforcements could come
up. General Slocum sent young Lieuten-
ant quickly to General Sherman. That
Lieutenant was Joseph B. Foraker, now an
Ex-Governor of Ohio, and he has since writ
ten the story of his ride. The next morning
Sherman made himself felt on SlOcum's
right. and the wing was not crushed.
General Sl0cum was at Raleigh when the
news Of Lincoln'S assassination came, and
said that 1t was only Sherman's prompt or
derS for the suppression of all violence that
saved Raleigh from the flames Sherman's
treaty with Johnston followed soon after
General Slocum said that Sherman talked
this treaty over fully with his officers, aud
II there was single man among them who
objected to its leniency, Howard or Logan
or any other, he never heard it. The meet
ing of Grant and Sherman took place just
after the bitter Northern attacks on Sher-
man for his treaty, and it brought out, Gen.
eral Socum said, the finest traits of Grants
character. Sherman was the nearest ap-
preach TO rival whom Grant had in the
army, and mean man would have taken
advantage of the situation to cripple his
brilliant subordinate. But Grant exercised
10 authority, saiq not Woru OF reproacn
and offered nothing but encouragement
The feeling in the army about the newspa-
per attacks on Sherman for the Johnston
treaty was very bitter. General Slocum
found one day a truck loaded down with
New York papers, to which some soldiers
were just applying match. He asked an
explanation, aGd one of the men said:
Those papers have got lots of stuff in 'em

Every dog lover acknowledges the superb
ority of the foX-terrier in that sort of intelli
gence which goes to make dog appear 10 be
almost human in the exercise of reasoning
powers or something akin to them. When 4
dog turns faucet to get drink he shows
intelligence. Some persons say that this is
instinct, and demand that the dog shall, of
his own v0liti II, shut If the water before
they will give him credit for reason. A deg
can be taught 10 close a faucet or shut
door after him, but until be is taught he will
generally leave both open after satisfying
his desire to get into the house or get drink

Horace n Cougar Jr. of Newark has

be something like reasoning power directing
some of her actions. She has been sleeping

under the stairs for her convenience. Re-

about 1t the next morning, and he concluded
TO watch the deg that evening. The shawl
was missing as usual during the day. At
night, when everybody else had left the
basement, he saw Spot scratch away a lot OF
kindling wood in the cellar and drag out the
shawl. She pulled it across the floor to her
box, and, carefully adjusting it, took one
corner in her teeth and rolled over twice.
In the morning the shawl was not in her
box,and search of the woodpile revealed that
the clever dog had removed it and carefully
covered il up. Mr.. Cougar fully believes
that Spot knew that she would not be per-
United to sleep in the shawl if seen, and
that she had intelligence enough deliberately
to enter upon her dishonest course of con-

QUEER REQUEST TO A CHILD.

If Daughter to Have a Fortune, If Son
Dollar.
At the old Conant homestead on Pearl
street, East Somervlle, Mass, about three
weeks ago, Mrs. William E. Blake died =
few hours after giving birth to a son, says
the Boston Globe. For week she felt as If
she would not survive the birth of her child.
Her own mother had died when Mrs. Blaikie
was but few hours old, and former wife
circumstances.
These facts intensified her forebodings,
and she made every preparation for death.
Shortly before that event she made the will
whose strange provisions have just become
known. 1t provided that If her child was
daughter abe should receive all her mothers
property, with the exception of her dia-
monds, which should 60 TO Mr.. Blaikie, but
If the child was son all the mothers prop
erty, with the exception of 81 necessary to
legally establish the sons birth, should go
to her husband. What led to the drafting
of 80 strange WHIP Why did this young
mother leave her son SO entirely unprGvided
for? No one seems to be able to answer.
Mrs. Blake was the granddaughter OF Ezra
Q. Conant, wealthy wholesale grocer of
Boston. When her mother died her grand
parents took her 10 live with them, and
from them she inherited good deal of
property. She married William E. Blake,
now an architect in Boston, and after the
death OF the old people she went with her
husband to live in the old homestead, where
she had spent her girIhood. 1t was there
she died. But why should she wish to dis
inherit her unborn son? No one can tell.

WHO LOST THE WAGER?

Practical Joke Played, With William
Bender as the Victim.
On Wednesday Captain Higgins of the
steamer South Coast, from Fort Bragg, pre-.
sented William Bender of Bender Bros.
with fine salmon he had brought down
with him. The vessel is lying at Berry and
Third streets Wharf, and Mr.. Bender en-
gagged an expressman there to take the sal
mon to his house. The Wharfinger Carroll
got in his deadly work." He gave the
expressman couple of drinks, and, watch
ng his chance, changed the address on the
fish, so that the carrier took it the house of
john Wilcox, whartinger at Fourth street
Wharf. Then Carroll went to Bender and
bet him a new hat that the salmon would
not be delivered at his house. Bender was
only too glad to make the bet When he
went home he found that the fish had not
arrived, and Immediately went down to the
wharf and Instituted inquiries. He found
out the joke that had been played and went
to Wilcox's house for the salmon. Now
there Is dispute as to who lost the bet of
the hat-Bender or Carroll?

THE QUEENS WEALTH.

1t Is Enormous, and She Never Lost q
Penny by Speculation.
1t Is believed that the Queen is the richest
woman in the world. Of the extent of her
possessions only those few in her confidence
have positive knowledge. but occasionally
there is brought to light some little incident
that confirms the popular susricion that her
Majesty ifs most successfully feathered her
own nest. The Queen has always surrounded
herself with the shrewdest business advisers,
and the manipulation of her finances has
been intrusted to the closest hands. 1t ia
said that she has never lost penny by I'M
wise speculation.
The amount of real estate she owns in
London is simply enormous. One block
alone is said to include bo:h sides of the
Quadrant and Regent street. from Piccadilly
Circus to Oxford street.-The most valuable
property in the Kingdom. Victoria began
her career as poor as the average German
princess: the lesson in frugality taught her
by her excellent mother she has never for
gotten. She Is prOvident TO the degree of
parsimony. OF the extravaganza Of the
Prince OF Wales she has special horror,
and it is said that she locks up her wallet
and loses the key whenever she sees her son
and heir coming down the road toward the
castle to pay her call.-Chicago News.

LONDON'S OLD ROMAN WALL.

Accommodations of Centuries Removed.
Laying Bare Wall and bitches.
The recent excavations for the new Post
Office in st. Martin's-le- Grand, says the Lon
don Times, have led to the discovery not
only of by far the most perfect piece Of
the Roman wall laid bare in recent times,
but also of complete outline of the old
town ditch, which defended London during
the Middle Ages. -
1t Is difficult to draw for ourselvesnow a
picture of London as walled town washed
by broad moat. Wall and fosses are now in
thu very heart of the county of London. Not
only so, but the town has covered them in
and grown over them. From the present
street level to the footings of the old Roman
wall. the level Of the old moat, is about
eight feet and half. The accumulations OF
centuries have buried the defenses of the
old city out of sight, and it needs an owner
more an XiOus than usual to make the mos
of his property to lring to light the hidden
history OF the place.
1t is curious that the enormous value o.
city land for commercial purposes, and the
bnrr0wiDg into the bowels of the earth
thereby occasioned, should lead to the dis
interment of relics of London of the Roman
period and of the middle ages.

LANTERN SYMBOLS OF RANK.
Strange Old Custom Still Prevailing in
Parts of Germany.

A Strange Old Custom Still Prevailing in
Parts of Germany.
The distinctions of rank which exist in
European countries give rise to troubles,
which, though they may seem rather anus
ing as we'll as trivial to us, are in reality
quite serious to the persons concerned in
them. In Stuttgart, years ago, says the
Youths Companion, there existed curious
custom which is not yet entirely abolished,
and, in fact, still flourishes quite vigorously
in some parts of Germany and Switzerland.
This was the use Of lanterns of different
varieties and sizes by which, at night, the
rank of the party could be easily distin-
guished.
The lanterns were carried by the servants
who were sent 10 escort their mstresses
home from places of amusement and they
made the square in front of the Royal Opera
House, where most of the entertainments
were then given, quite picturesque, with
their lights bobbing up and down in every
direction.
The difference between some of these Ian
terms We're slight, but they had to be strictly
observed or trouble arose. The order Of
rank, as set forth in the rank list" was
something from which they could never
swerve. Some had lanterns of tin. some of
brass; some had wax lights, and others tai
low; even the number of lights was pre-
scribed for each separate class or rank,

KOCH's FIRST STEP TO FAME.
The Young Fellow From Posen Who Lee

The Young Fellow From Posen Who Lee
tured on Bacteriology.
The first step of DR.. Robert Koch into the
light OF publicity took place in the labora-
tory of the bacteriologist, Privy Councillor
Cohn, who announced one day years ago
to the students under his supervision that
on The next morning "a young fellow from
Posen would be on hand to show some prep
arations." What the young fellows name
was the Privy Councillor had forgotten. OF
his preparations he was equally ignorant.
At the appointed hour the students had
assembled and We're trying vainly to learn
just how little the coming man knew Of
bacterology. The door opened, and little
man in simple black garments slipped in.
He had great, unsophisticated blue eyes,
such us only German men have, big clear
forehead, and a small, stiff mustache. The
students smiled as he bowed deeply and in
troduced himself as Robert Koch. He ad-
dressed his simple compliments to the
mighty Herr Geheimrath." and then
opened the boxes he had brought under his
arm.
Every one ceased smiling as he laid out
his wonderful little glass slides, which are

photographs of everything, all done by him.
and by him alone, away off in the hamlet Of
Wollstein in Posen. When the exhibit was
finished there was dead silence for min
ute or two. Then Privy Councillor Cohn
said:
''Sir, you should remain in Breslau. 1t is
not fitting that man of your genius should
go back to Wollstein in Posen."
Koch was willing enough to remain in
Breslau, for his lie in Wollstein had been
joylessly poor, according to the views of
most men, although he found comfort in his
remarkable work. 81 am anxious to re-
main, but L have no money" he answered.
Two days later the Judicial Court doctor
of the Nicolai District died. His place was
POOR enough and almost without fees, but
it was foothold. and as such Cohn secured
it for Koch. The young Posener took up
his residence in Breslau and continued his
studies. He found, however, little profit

which he earned Just SIS, he announced that,
