General sherman's FavorIte Room.

The General has taken for his especia
quarters the front basement of his new
house. In the wall he has had built q
great fre-proof safe, in which he has
stored every document of value con.
nected with his long and brilliant career
in the army, his commissions, orders
from the War Department, diaries, cor
respondence, every note he has jotted
down, every thing that has a value as
part of the record of his soldering. On
the walls of the room hang maps Of the
fields Of battle whereon he led his men
from victory to victory. On the floor
are his camp chests-stOred as they ever
have been with his uniforms and the
clothes he wore beneath them, with his
swords and belts and all the accoutre-
ments of Generals trappings and camp
outfit. Even his canteen is there, and
it is never empty. At his desk sits his
private secretary elbow-deep in letters
from every State and county, from every
nation on earth, enclosing war data of
experiences under Sherman, or queries
about disputed points in that active life
of the Generals that has long been a
rounded chapter to the world, though it
never can be to him or to his friends and
comrades, or to the historian, so long as
he is alive to keep it fresh.-Chatter.

Guilty with regard to these. WANTED to
order butter-knife by wire and the
compound word was charged as two
words. In answer to an expostulation
was informed that no word not found in
Nuttalps or Webster's Dictionary is ac-
cepted by the post-office as a single
word. According to this rule butter
knife is not one word, though butter
print is; barn-door is one, house-door is,
or are, two. This seems somewhat arbi-
trary. Some compounds are certainly
necessary. Thus in Lancashire bread

plum-loaf. Plum-loaf, by the way, is
not in the dictionaries, but plum-cake
is. 1 can only suppose the reason to be

That her mother still should treasure
Such faded bit OF bunting

Every outward sign Of sorrow,

THE SUCCESSFUL EDITOR.
He Must Sink His Own Personality and
Petty Grievances,

Petty Grievances.
The editor must learn to face the
threats of the unprincipled and the cow
ardly with Indifference. He must not
be afraid of the community, for if he
be afraid people will find it out, and set
upon him as dogs chase whipped cur.
His safety depends on holding his own
and showing bold front when he is
fighting some evil to the displeasure of
Its adherents. To retreat or waver when
he is in the right because there are dan
ger signals ahead is the most perilous
thing which he can do.
While he must be fearless in attack
ing abuses which ought to be condemned
in his paper, he must be careful to do it
In tho right way. Also he must not
make an attack when it is not demand
ed, and when to be silent is wise. He
must not allow a mean desire for re-
venge or wish to crafty his malice to
enter into his criticisms. He must sink
his own personality and petty griev-
ances, and use his pen only in his pub
lie capacity as the conductor of a paper
which is taken by people for their own
instruction and amusement, and not
for his benefit or for the purpose of
seeing his individual wrongs aired in
print. He must rise to the dignity of
his calling, be fair and comprehensive
in his judgments, even and cool in his
temper, and hold himself to the right
and rational course.in spite of his mean
er predictions and the promptings of
his prejudices. If he do otherwise he
will rue it, on account of the financial
loss and the loss in public esteem which
his paper will sustain.-J. A. Bolles, |

OLD STORIES REvAMPED.

An old story is being resurrected

he rushed downstairs and seized milk
pitcher from the kitchen table, rushed
out to the cistern, threw the milk out
of the pitcher, pumped some ~ater into
it, and rushed upstairs, only to find that
his wife had seized large pitcher of

Soldier Boys Who Preferred Their Bunks
to SON Hotel Beds.
In April, 1864, New York regiment
was in COvingtOn, Ky. Cincinnati lies
just across the river and the temptation
to visit 1t was too strong for men who
had been for years enduring the priva.
tions of army life. A little party OF
them determined to go over and attend
3 place of amusement. What took place
after the performance is thus described
by one of the participants:
We thought it would be a rare treat to
put up at hotel for the night, enjoy a
sound sleep on soft bed, and have a
good breakfast before returning to camp
in the morning.
To this end we repaired to the hotel,
paid dollar and a half each for our
double-bedded room-there were four in
the party-and then went to the thea
| ter.
We enjoyed the performance. and, after
partaking of good oyster supper, re-
turned to the hotel and retired, antici-
patlng good nights sleep on the feath-
| er-beds.
|
and eating over again in imagination
the excellent supper we had enjoyed,
and contrasting Our nice, comfortable
beds with the places VIC had been obliged
to sleep in during our late campaign, We
turned over and tried to sleep.
All was quiet for perhaps half an
hour. Then noticed my bedfellow be.
coming very restless, apparently trying
to get into comfortable position.
''Come, Johnr" l exclaimed, "why
don't you lie still and go to sleep?"
why don't you go to sleep yourselfY'
was the response.
Then we heard similar questions and
EXPLANATIONS from the other bed, and
soon our companions were heard tum-
bling out and lying down on the floor,
declaring that they couldn't sleep on
that bed; it's too SOFT
We chaffed each other a good deal
about our adventure, but decided that
rather than pay for beds in the hotel
and then of our own accord lie on the
floor, we had better go back to the bar
racks and lie in our own hunks.
YES" said one, "but we have paid for
our breakfast too; we don't want to lose
that"
'.Never mind, rejoined another, ''let's
go back"
So we got up, dressed, and sneaked
downstairs, as though we had been
trying to Jump our board bill.
The night-clerk sat doing in his
chair. We felt too sheepish to acknowl- |
edge the truth to him, and simply in |
quiring at what hour breakfast would be |
ready, we started for the ferry and man.

In less than five minutes after stretch

sound asleep. We did not think it worth
while to go back to the hotel for our
breakfast.

WOMEN IN INDIA.
Their Attire and How They Are Guarded
by Their Husbands.

| Their Attire and How They Are Guarded
! by Their Husbands.
The women have cars for themselves
and the poorer of them and those of low
caste appear at the stations carrying
their baggage on their heads. They
walk attired in cotton cloth or two and
score of gold, silver or brass bracelets.
They have rings on their fingers, on
their arms, in their ears and noses.
Their ankles are loaded with metal and
each of their ten toes carrie silver or
gold ring. Their faces are covered,
their arms are bare to the shoulders and
their legs to the knees. Still the jew
elry on each would buy an outfit of
American clothing, and their toe-bells
jingle and their bracelets clank music
ally as they move through the station.
The women of the higher caste are sup
posed to be seen by no other men but
their husbands and their clothes are
such that they cover their heads and
you see now and then an eye peeping
out of the folds in the headgear.
They are carried to the cars in chairs
and palanquins, which are only opened
when they reach the doors of the wom-
ems compartments. The high caste
women of India seldom enjoy the seen
cry while travelling. The windows of
their compartments are often so covered
with shutters that they can not look out,
and during q trip of hundreds of miles
