Gen. sherman on the Sword and Pen.

The following very characteristic let
ter written by General Sherman will be
interesting to our readers at this time:
HEADQUARTERS OF THE ARMY,
WASHINGTON, ID. c., February 6, 1883
Mr.. Edward W. Box, Brooklyn, NY.
My DEAR Mr.. BOK-YOur welcome let
ter of the 4th is before me. | prefer
not to make scraps of sentimental writ
ing. When | write anything want it
to be real and connected in form, as for
instance, in your quotation from Lord
LyttOn's play of ''Richelieu:" ''The
pen is mightier than the sword" Lord
LyttOn would never have
put his signature to so naked senti-
ment. Surely L mill not.
In the text there was prefix or quail
ificatiOn:
Beneath the rule of men entirely
great,
The pen is mightier than the sword.
Now the world does not often present
the conditions Of facts herein described.
men entirely great" are very rare in
deed, and even Washington, who ap-
preached greatness as near as any NOR
tai, found good use for the sword and
the pen, each in its proper sphere.
You and | have seen the day when a
great and good man ruled this country
Lincoln) who welded powerful and
prolific pen, and yet had to call to his
assistance LOCO, 900 flaming swords.
No, l cannot subscribe to your senti-
ment, THE pen is mightier that the
sword" which you respectfully ask me
10 write, because it IS not true. Rather,
in the providence Of God, there is a
time for all things; a time when the
sword may cut the Gordian knot and
set free the principles of right and JUS
tice bound up in the meshes of hatred,
revenge and tyranny, that the pen Of
the mighty men like Clay, Webster,
Calhoun, Crittenden and the immortal
Lincoln were unable 10 disentangle.
Wishing you all success through life,
believe me, with kind regards, Your
friend,
W. T. SHERMAN, General.

The Child at the Table.

So long as custom and necessity rem

disuse and disrepute-that little boys
and girls should be seen and not heard

tricks which seem, possibly through
original sin, to come mutually To most
little folk. The correct handling of
spoon, fork and knife should be taught
as soon as they are permitted to use

r. G. Dnu & Co. s weekly review OF trade
says there is still much uncerts nty about
the future of trade.
Repoi Is from Chicago are less favor
able. The tone of reports from other
cities is generally favorable, though
there is some complaint OF collections
at the south because cotton is held back
for higher prices.
The decline Of silver below 81 per
ounce at one time to 97t cents discour-
ages these who were looking for a spec
ulative boom in prices.
Wheat is per cent lower with sales OF
$1,000 600 bushels, cotton a quarter
lower with sales of ST., 600 bales, and
oil 3s cents lower, corn and oats have
advanced a half a cent each and hogs a
shade. The exports off continue above
last year as well as the RECEIPTS but
wheat and flour exports fall far behind
and the movement in provisions shows
little increase.
During the past week the treasury
has taken in altogether about 100000
more than it has paid out. The OutgO
Of currency to the interior appears to
have begun, however, notwithstanding
the fact that at almost every other city
the money market is easier or growing
easier and scarcely one now reports the
market close.
The business failures occurring
throughout the country during the last
] days number 295, as compared with q
total of 297 last week. For the CORES
pOnding week last year the figures were
272.

SENATOR W. A. PETER.
A Reporter Sizes Him up While the Train
Stops at the Gulf Depot.

Mr.. PETER is light weight physical
ly, being smaller and more slender
man than the pictures in the
papers make him look. He is
small bOned and thin fleshed,
as attenuated but not so 'wiry'
as Ingalls,. He has an intelligent, but
not a aggressive, face, which beams
with an expression not exactly, child
like and bland" but rather with a
motherly kindness. His eyes are light
in color, have the appearance being not
strong. He wears glasses. His long
flowing whiskers, reaching almost to
his waist are silky in texture
and not heavy. His voice and
manners are very pleasant
and he would easily pass for minister.
He was dressed in neat plain suit OF
black, and wore wide brimmed, soft
fur hat. He said he should go to
Washington some time during the week
to see the close of the present session
and be on hand for anything that the SEN
ate may hold over for. He..thought proba'
bly, he would have hand in considering
the confirmation Of the new sec
rotary of the trasury. he
had not then heard that Governor
Foster had been nominated by the pres
ident for that position.
As the train pulled out the new sem
ator shook the hard of the reporter cor
daily and asked him to mot to forget
to remember him to all the boys OF the
office, from bottom to top" saying
he had once learned the printers trade
himself.

LINCOLN'S MOTHERS GRAVE.
1t 10 Lonely, Neglected and Was Desecrat
by An Intruder.

1t 10 Lonely, Neglected and Was Desecrated
by An Intruder.
The grave of Mrs. Nancy Hanks Lincoln, the
mother of Abraham Lincoln, has been rudely
desecrated. The spot where Lincoln's mother
was buried is not many miles southwest of In
dianapolis, in Spencer county.
Lincoln City was built in one summer by
eastern capitalists, who learned about the
lonely, unmarked grave. The enterprise was
merely land speculation by which 1000 pso-
pie were swindled.
All this occurred about twenty-five years
ago. A rail fence was set around the mound,
but no tombstone marked the spot. Ten years
later Mr.. Studebaker of South Bend sent an
agent to erect monument. While no one
could say that the right place had been Sc
lected, the grave redeemed by the farmers
from the sheriff 8 hand was accepted the
true spot by Mr.. Studebaker. lie caused a
new white marble shaft to be made, which was
incribed: Nancy Hanks Lincoln, mother of
President Lincoln; died October 5, 1918; aged
thirty-tive years. Erected bya friend of her
martyred son. 1879"
The story of the dissertation of Mrs. Lincon's
grave is told by man who arrived from there.
Having recently missed a hog, he started out
to search for it through the woods and the
thought occurred to MIN to climb the knoll.
NheE he reached the spot he iisgusted at
finding the fence around Mrs. Lincoln's grave
broken down and the missing hog with new
litter of pigs lying IL conten,ment in the hol-
low about the grave of the martyred Presi-
dents mother.

BoNNKR's OPINION or AXIOM.
He Says That the Young Horse Il . Phe
nomenal Trotter.

n0menal TrOttor.
Mr.. Bonner was seen ct his nome, ct 8
West 56th street, New York, yesterday. He
had Just finished writing letter to Senator Le-
land Stanford on the subject Of the two-year-
old Arion's wonderful performance Of . mile in
2.10H on the kite-shsped track at Stockton,
Cal Mr.. Bonner had not yet recovered from
his surprise at the phenomenal feat
ut is the most wonderful thing ever heard
Of, said Mr. Bonner, with considerable excite
ment in his manner. "When you take into
consideration the age Of the horse the per-
Torrance becomes . phenomenon. When
Arion covered mile in 2.141S I was surprised.
/ had never expected to hear that a two-year.
old had made such a record. But when yes
terday 1 received a telegram from Senator
Stanford telling me that his wonderful two
year-old had covered mile in 2.1OX 1 was
dumbfounded.
"When you call to mind the fact that 2.31
was considered an invincible record for two
year-olds ten years ago Arion's feat becomes
the source OF unbounded establishment.
NO do not agree with Gen. Tracy when he
says that the two-minute horse is in sight. The
general has said that a horse will cover a mile
In two minutes within two years. Now, with
all due regard for Gen. Tracy's knowledge Of
horse flesh, differ radically with him upon
that point.
Al ioSt, nave diTt8uN sdlu tHut IL ID my De-
lief that a mile will never be covered in two
minutes by any horse. Gen. Tracy expects to
see mile covered in two minutes within two
years. Now, have already stated. and wish to
reiterate my offer right here, that / will give
5000 to see any horse trot mile in even 2.05
on any OF the regulation tracks at any time be-
fore the corresponding date in 1893.
Il do not include the kite-shaped track in
that offer. Maud s. holds the record at 2.OS$4
on the regulation track, and Sunol at 2.0S14 on
the kite-shaped. l consider myself justified in
saying that no horse willever trot mile in two
minutes.
In my letter to Senator Stanford"-here
Mr.. Bonner gazed upon the letter which he
held open in his hand-'I say: 1t is peculiarly
gratifying to me that in Arion is blended the
blood Of both Sunol and Maud S. through
Electioneer and Nutwood.' Nutwood is half
brother to Maud S., both being out of the same
dam, and Nutwood got the dam of the wonder
full Arion.
ION the other side Arion is half brother to
Sunol, both having been got by Electioneer.
This fact which has never before been men,
toned by either Senator Stanford or myself,
partly accounts for Arion's phenomenal speed,
for the fast two-year-old represents the union
OF the best strains in the country. horse
with such pedigree should be remarkably
fast"

arrested and fined for tine offense named, and
the at first trivial case has been in the state and

sentence affirmed by the state supreme
court. Then the defense was undertaken by
the National Secula. Association, which en-
ployed Don NJ Dickinson AMI carried the case
to the United States circuit court on writ of

the federal government had no right to review
the states decisions, and the case was there

United States. 1t is not unlikely the Adventists
will still push the case to "a conclusion in spite
