Turning Over q New Leaf.

Smith and Brown were coming into the city

Gently. All the seats in the car were occupied

An Anecdote of Sheridan.

From the Concord IN. II. Monitor.
Gen. Phil. Sheridan's voice was as soft mu-
steal and tender as that of a woman, and when
mention was made of the fact at the encamp-
ment Of the New Hampshire volunteers at the
weirs few years ago he said he had heard al
fusion to it before. When he was stationed in
| Chicago he was accustomed, he said, to 60 fish
ing up In Wisconsin in the spring and early
| summer, enjoying himself hugely, especially
| when he struck a trout brook. He was always
| accompanied by several of his staff and num-
Der of orderlies, taking a complete outfit and
camping as their fancy led them.
One morning, while on the bank Of trout
brook. he got up early and taking his line and
rod fished along the bank meeting with such
good success that he hated to turn back All
| of a sudden il occurred to him that If the man
| who owned the field through which the water
ran saw him trampling the grass down he
would give him a Scotch blessing, and 10 and
behold. while this thought on his mind
and as he turned a bend in the creek. whom
should he see approaching but the individual
in question, as was evident from the indie
pendent air, the scythe on his shoulder and the
surly look on his face. The general was equal
to the occasion, however.
In his pocket was a flask Of choice brandy
presented bv friend in Chicago. In a twink
ling and before the farmer had time to speak
he had the bottle out, and said ''Good morn
ing, uncle, won't you smile?' The uncle re-
sponueu promptly. saying: Il don I keer II /
do, and putting it to his mouth he sampled
the brandy. On taking it away he caught the
flavor, and. holding it tight looked at it visit
fully. Don't be afraid, I" said Sheridan; 'take
drink; You only took a smile" The uncle
on this drained the bottle of half it contents,
and. handing it back, wiped his mouth with
the back of his hand, and said: 'Well, stranger,
who can thank for this?"
Sheridan looked at his rig (his OWN; he had
on a straw hat. a blouse, and his trousers we're
tucked into his boots, looking ANYTHING but
military. but he answered: In Chicago they
call me Gen. Sheridan" The deuce they do ~
was the response. who in thunder could
hear little cuss like you on the battlefield?'
Il can't help that" said Sheridan, 'but that's
my name '.Never mind that :" said the uncle,
You can't play that on me, but that's darned
good whisky, anyway" and he went on his
way.
At the recollection Of the event the general
laughed unsteady and said: '.Just think, boys,
of the idea of a corps commanders voice being
heard by his men on a battlefield" and he
laughed again and again at the absurdity of the
notion. No guests at the Weirs left more pleas
ing memories than dashing Phil Sheridan, and
to one of the little group who was in the room
there and heard the general tell this story it all
came back three years later as he stood at the
foot OF the open grave in Arlington cemetery
and saw all that was mortal Of gallant Phil
Sheridan consigned to its last resting place.

A Woman's Philosophy.

From the Detroit Free Press.
To think wisely is the part Of sage; to act
wisely requires a combination of man and angel.
1t is easier to forgive q friend for the wrong
he did us than for the lie he told to keep it
from u.s.
To forgive when we have forgotten is easy; to
forgive when We know We can never forget is
noble.
the half thoughts Of the foolish, put into
words, are often the levers which move the wise
to think in silence and then act
To yield love for service is too much like Q
commercial bargain, but to serve for love is q
monopoly OF souls. and selAshness can never
break the combination.
That We lost the race because we stopped to
point out the right way to a wanderer viii be
remembered by him, though our names are not
capitalized In the next days newspapers.

DOUBLE DENOMINATION BILLS.
They Were Printed by the Government an<
Puzzled Their Owners.

They Were Printed by the Government and
| Puzzled Their Owners.
From the New York Herald.
The officials of the bureau of engraving and
printing at Washington not long ago received
from the cashier OF the First Natinal Bank al
Washington NJ, bank note Of two denomi.
nations. By some remarkable mistake the face
of the note contained the figures and devices Of
q $40 bill, while the reverse was that Of Q e1O
national bank note.
With the curiosity the cashier of the bank of
Washington. N. j., sent rather sarcastic note,
intimating that his bank was not going into
the freak business, and adding that as the note
had been counted as twenty-dollar bill he
would thank the Treasury Department to send
In place OF it n bill Of that denomination about
which there could be no question.
Upon receiving the letter and Enclosure the
treasury officials requested Gen. Meredith, the
chief OF the bureau Of engraving and printing,
to haves searching investigation made. Gen.
some glaring oversight on the part Of some of
his subordinates.
The bureau Of engraving and printing has
always been considered a marvel Of perfect
surveillance and continued check and counter
check on every little detail. In all its history
it has never lost by theft single note and
mistake OF the nature described was considered
| among the impossibilities.
The mistake having occurred in one instance
however, Gen. Meredith feared that it might
have been repeated in others. All bank notes
are printed in blocks Of four on one sheet and
$50 sheets are in a bundle. SO that there are
always 1000 notes worked off at one printing.
The thought occurred to the chief that per-
haps the entire last issue Of tens and twenties
for the New Jersey bank was made up Of the
hybrids.
The investigation was prosecuted with vigor,
and at last the cause Of the trouble was dscov-
cred. 1t appears that in printing the tens and
twenties the four notes struck off at one time
are not all Of the same denomination. There
are always three of one kind and the fourth Of
another; in this instance three tens and one
twenty.
The plate printers were examined, and one Of
them recollected that when the particular notes
we're being printed one sheet of three tens and
one twenty, after having been printed on one
side only, had fallen to the floor.
The explanation Of the misprint was then
easy. The assistant pressman who picked up
the sheet had misplaced it on the bundle. When
the second impression was made on the face Of
the twenty was printed the reverse of the ten,
and vice versa; the face of one of the three
tens was backed by the reverse of the twenty;
hence there were two ten-twenties in the lot
1t was some months after the detection of the
mistake that the mate to the note was discov-
cred 1t turned up in Newark, N. j., after hay

Insurance Company, and is now in the posses

refused to part with it at any price.
