the war broke out and on September g. 1851
entered the volunteer service as Lieutenant
in the Twenty-secOnd Massachusetts Infan-
try. He was afterward commissioned Lieu
tenant-COlonel of the Sixty-frst New York
Volunteers. He was engaged in the battles
of the Peninsula, before Richmond and at
Antietam, and after the latter battle was
made Colonel Of the regiment. With the ex-
ception of the surrender Of Lee at Appomat-
tOX Court House he was engaged in all the
battles of the Potomac, and was wounded
three times For gallantry at charlottesville
he was brevetted Brigadier General of Vol
unteers, and on May II, 1864, was advanced.
to the full rank for other gallant services
In August of the same year he was brevetted
MajOr-General of Volunteers. On October
81, 1865, he was commissioned MaiOr-Gen-
eral and mustered out the following Septem-
Der, having just received an appointment in
the regular army as Colonel Of the Fortieth
Infantry.
In 1875, after being transferred to the
Fifth Infantry, he defeated the Cheyenne,
KlOWa and COmanche Indians at Slater
Plains, and in 1876 subjugated the Sioux and
other Indians i'll Montana, driving Sitting
Bull across the Canadian frontier, and break
ing up the bands led by him. A third ex-
plot of remarkable skill and success was his
defeat and capture of the NeZ Perez
band of Chief Joseph just as the long
retreat of that able warrior promised
to result in his escape across the north
ern border. In 1873 Colonel Miles de-
feated and captured a band of Bannocks.
He was commissioned Brigadier-General of
the United States Army on December Is,
1880, and commanded for five years the De-
partment of Columbia. In July, 1885, he
was assigned to the command of the Depart
ment of the Missouri, and in April, 1886, was
transferred to Arizo at where he accom-
plished the surrender of the Apache scourge
Chief Geronimo. Various Western Legisla-
lures passed votes of thanks to General
Miles for Kidding the frontier Of this scourge,
and the citizens of Arizona presented him
with a sword.
While already the third officer in rank in
the army, General Miles, in the ordinary
course of events will before many years be
the first, as General Howard retires in 1894
leaving General Miles to succeed General
Schofeld as commander of the army on the
latter's retirement in 1895. His career dur
ing the last thirty years has certainly been
most remarkable, carrying him, as it has,
through series of brilliant and memorable
achievements from civil life up to his present
high rank.

Especial Correspondence of TIE 1NpErENpESr.l
LONDON, Aug. 13.-It is hard to see why
the wandering American should shop at all in
London, except for the delightful courtesy
to be met from Regent street to Cheapside.
There is certain atmosphere of low prices
hanging over the city, but the particular
thing that you desire usually cost as much
as at home. The veteran Londoner proba-
bly, can clothe herself somewhat more
cheaply than the New Yorker or Philadel
phian; but the summer traveller, not know
ing London as she knows her home shops,
will often find herself paying rather more
here for rather less satisfactory article.
But one could buy in London for the pure
pleasure of being waited on. After the in
ci,illty of the American shopgirl the polite
ness and careful attention of the London
variety expands the heart and the purse
strings. A shipment of it would prove the
most taking of all imported" articles.
One noticeable difference between the cities
on opposite sides of the Atlantic ferry is the
greater number of fashion departures in
England. The American woman buys as a
rule more frocks at time. The English
woman, especially in summer. buys oftener.

BUSINESS WOMEN.
An Oracular Business Man Delivers q
HOmily.

An Oracular Business Man Delivers =
Homiiy.
The other day, it is related in the Illus
trated American, bright, energetic woman,
who conceived, or thought she had, sure
and original way to make a for tune, took
her formulated idea to a business man to
get his idea of it. The gentleman listened
with sympathy and intelligence to all she
had to say. After everything was explained
and even elaborated upon, he turned and
said: my dear madam, this is really very
clever and sounds feasible. l think my
self that considerable amount of
money might be realized from the
enterprise you propose. But you have
no capital whatsoe ve., and fear
that in itself will prove hopeless Stun
bling block to success. You see no man
can bring himself to invest in ANYTHING
where a woman is at the head. They
would trust man many times sooner--not
that men are more honest, for it is dOubt-
full If we would hear OF SO many abscond-
ing cashiers if women filled positions of
trust. That is not it. They have faith in
their intrinsic virtue, but utterly lack con-
tidence in female ability to originate fnan-
cial schemes and by industry and fidelity
to develop and carry them out to fortunate
issues. They question the quality of
woman's Judgment and hold
her incapable of rightly approaching the
value of money. They doubt her diligence
and perseverance,, and have no faith what
ever in her powers of competition. Now.
capitalists may be all wrong, but am stat
ing facts as they exist at present. and there
must be some reason for such a general
conviction. Don't you yourself think wo-
men are partially to blame? Every man
knows his wife's loose way of managing her
domestic finances and judges accordingly.
She is inaccurate as a rule and very suspi-
cious. Why, l have seen housekeepers lib
orally supplied with money who would put
a big roll of bills in their purse, and, taking
no account of the amount, spend as the
necessities arose. These women, / have
remarked, arc always in hot water, sus-
pecting servants. clerks or some one else
of abstracting money they have spent them
selves. They are usually in debt, and bor-
row right and left as the opportunity
offers. Remember. / am not speaking of
all women, only fair representation.
Now. no matter how wildly extravagant
man may be his head is generally clear on
matters of debit and credit. Your sex has
much to learn, in this line. and. for the
sake of the individual as we'll as the aggle-
gate, they should turn their attention to
figures IN practical way. If you should
succeed you will be regarded as great
benefactor, or rather generator of conf
dence."
