the second part of his plan, which was to
strike Richmond from the Carolinas. He
moved up to Columbia, S. c., which he de-
stroycd, and pushed on to Fayetteville, N.
.. The movement to the left was intended
as feint, but news reached Hardee
(through a New York paper, who was
watching Sherman, that the Union sup
plies were to be drawn from Goldsboro
This did away with all effect of deception.
From Fayetteville Sherman reported prog.
ress to Grant, assuring him that he would
be ready to aid him in the spring cam
paign.
Meanwhile Gen. Joseph Z. Johnston had
been placed in command of the Confeder-
ate forces in the CarOlinas On the night
of the 18th of February Gen. Slocum en-
countered Johnston's army at Beutonville.
Sherman oriere3 him to fight defensiveIy
until he should himself come up with rein
forcements. When Sherman arrived he
hesitated to bring on a general engage
meut, being entirely ignorHnt of the force
at Johnston's disposal. Besides he had
but little food IN his wagons, and expected
Schofeld and Terry to join him from VIII
mington. Gen. Mower broke through the
Confederate line on his extreme left flank
Sherman ordered him back, but lest the
enemy should concentrate upon him or-
dered a brisk skirmish fire along the line
Sherman has acknowledged that he made
. mistake IN not pushing Johnston then.

was the worst possible, Florida, almost
surrounded by water, was the best place
on the continent to control and civilize
Indians, and was intrinsically worth much
less to the whites than the Indian terri
tory.
After three years in Florida and visit
home he was detailed to assist Col.
Churchill, inspector general of the army,
in taking dispositions in upper Georgia and
Alabama concerning losses by volunteers
in Florida by reason Of the failure of the
United States to provide sufficient forage. "
This duty took him to Marietta, Ca, where
he became familiar with the ground over

Tho "Per Capita" Delusion.

1T St'h"
The per capita argument has always
been a favorite method Tor sustaining 4
demand for cheap money. Such de-
mands invariably arise when times are
hard, that is, when money is scarce.
The cheap money advocates, acting on
the knowledge that great many peo-
pie are wishing that they had moro
money in their pockets, come forward
with the explanation that the real
cause OF the troubleis the smallness OF
the monetary circulation, the volume OF
currency not being adequate for the de-
mands of the business OF the country.
They point to other countries, like En-
gland, Germany and France, saying
that they havea much larger per capita
circulation than tho United States, and
claim that everybody in this country
would have more money i'll his pocket
ii a great addition OF some form OF
cheap moncy-either irredeemable pa
per, or deprecated silver, or sub-treas-
ury notcs-were made to the currency.
The fundamental defect in the arcu-
ment is that i. confounds small circula-
ton with small distribution. Tho
trouble is not that tho circulation is
small, but that so many. people fail to
get much OF it. 1.-THE circulation were
10 be doubled or trebled, or 1uadrupled,
what reasoni is there for believing that
tho people who have least at present
would have any moro? How would

CHRISTMAS SPORT.

Preparing for n Christmas Iinro.uunt In
tho South.
Thomas Stl'on Pace, IN December S. Nicholas.
We used to have hunts on SATURDAYS,
just We boys, with perhaps black boy
or two OF our particular cronies; but
the great hunt was "in the holidays"-
that is, about Christmas. Then ali the
youns'darllics about the place were free
and ready for sport.
This Christmas hunt was an event.
1t was the year 1867, and, Christmas
day falling on Sunday, Saturday was
given rs tho first OF the holidays. 1t
had been q fine fall the cover was good,
and old hares were plentiful. It had
been determined some time before
Christmas that We would have q big
harc-hunt on that day, and the "boys"
that is, the young darkics-came to
the house from the quarters, prepared,
and by the time breakfast was over
they .wero waiting for US around the
Kitchen door. breakfast was always
late about Christmas-time; perhaps the
spareribs and sausages and the jelly,
dripping through a blanket hung over
the legs OF an upturned table, accounted
Tor it; and on this Christmas eve it was
ten by the tall clock in the corner OF the
dining-room before We were through.
When We came out. the merry darkics
were waiting for lis around the kitchen
door, grinning and showing their shin
ing teeth, and laughing and shouting,
and calling the dogs. They were not
allowed to have guns; but our guns,
long old single-barrcls handed down for
at least two generations, had been carri-
cd out and cleaned. and they were hand
ing them around, inspecting and aim
ing them with as much pride as if they
had been brand-new. There was only
ono exception to this rule: Uncle
Limpy-Jack, 20 called because he had
one leg shorter than the other, was al
lowed to have gun. He was q sort OF
professional hunter about the place.
No lord was ever iprouder OF q special
privilege handed down in his family for
generations.
The other fellows were armed with
stout sticks and made much noise.
Uncle Limpy-Jack was, n: stated, the
only exception; he was grave as became
imam" who was hunter by business,
and .warn't arter no foolishncss." He
allowed no one to touch his gun, which
thus possessed a special value. He car
ried his powder in gourd and his shot
in an old rag.
Tho pack OF dogs 1 have described,
lully recruitedf were hanging around.
growing and snarling, sneaking into
the kitchen and being kicked out by
Aunt Betty and nor corps OF varicolored
assistants, largely augmented at the APP
proach OF Christmas with its cheer. The
yelping ofthe mongrcl pack, the shouts
and whoops of the boys, and the laugh
ter of the maids or men about the
kitchen and backyard, all in their best
clothes and in high spirits, were ex-
hilarating, and with many whoops and
much "hollering," we climbed the yard
fence, and, disdaining a road, OF course
set ont down the hill across the field,
taking long strides, each one Dragging
loudly OF what he would do.

tiles. The rights herein secured are in
their nature like the right OF ownership
OF real estate. They cannot be directly
attacked. What are called the rights
OF minorities in delibcrativa assemblies
are, like the right OF any individual in
q highway, subject at all times to the
control OF tho whole community. Strict
ly speaking, they are, like the rights in
a highway, bestowed not for the benefit
OF the minority, but solely for the bene-
fit OF the whole. A few examples will
make this very clear, and will show how
many OF the discussions OF tho last two
years were more misuse OF terms.
Among the most cherished so-called
rights OF minorities is the right OF de-
bate. But is that in any sense
right OF minorities as such? What is
debate, and what is it for? 1t is not
NJ erely display OF the vocabularies OF
orators. 1t is not a sacred privilege of
talk for no purpose. 1t is permitted
solely to guide tho whole assembly to
right conclusions. Men join in debate,
when they fulfill honestly its mission,
for tho purpose OF pointing out the ad-
vantages OF the thing proposed or the
objections which exist against it. De-
bate is intended to throw light on the
subject from all directions, SO that there
may be no decisions arising from the
shadows. Now, what is all this for?
For tho benefit OF thosewho in the re-
suit turn out to be the fewer in number?
By no manner OF means. All this light
is thrown, not to enable the minority to
prevent conclusions. but to enable tho
majority to come to right conclusions.
1t hardly needs more than this state
mcnt TO show that any right of debate
which prevents results by obstruction,
instead Of guiding to correct results by
enlightenment, is Il pervcrsion OF honest
purpose which ought to receive con.
domination and repression.

OF the Cooper Union at Eighth street,
which splits 1t in twain, sending ono
half up town to BIO the great Third av.
enue, and one half close beside It to be
the Fourth avenue. 1t has tho width of
both these wide avenues together. Its
width varies, rs becomes an ancient

more than 100 feet from house-line to
house-line, siXty-iive feet being the
roadway, II You arc stranger and
walk down the bowery in the daytime
without guide, you will be apt
to notice nothing more particular
about it than that it is an enormous,
crowded, noisy street OF retail shops,
lodging-houses and museums. Any old
New Yorker will show you some very
old and respectable shops-notably a
grocers, q bakers and q supply OF fire
mons goods-which were established
there in tho days OF other generations.
But these arc not SO interesting to
stranger 40 the many little stores that
give a distinctive character to the street.
Except in the main street OF Hayre, l
never saw so many shops for the sale OF
Jewelry US there are OIL the Bowery.
Most OF them display new, cheap and
tlashy ornaments; hall dozen are what
are called pawnbrokers' sales shops, or
