The military struggle between the
North and the South was between in
eXhaustibie brute force on the one
hand, and skilled genius handling
very limited resources on the other.
The former was a giant trusting in
his mere bulk to ward off a fatal
stroke; the latter a gallant knight
whose arms were not long enough 70
penetrate the fat sheltering his adj
versary's heart. The one club
welded by a thousand-fold Orson,
the other the raper of the courtly
Valentine.
Let these facts and figures witness
all taken from Northern resources :
Sheridan was seat with upwards
of 10000 men to drive EARLY, with
his handful, from the Valley.
Lee and Johnston seldom had eff
fectiye one-fourth of the available
strength of Grant and Sherman.
The Federals mustered into active
service, first to last, 2,S59, l3l sol
diers the Confederates, G63,5i7,
When the final catastrophe came,
the active Federal armies numbered
100000, supported by reserves Of
pa 900; the muster rolls of the
surrendered Confederates, less than
175, 900.
Johnston's retreat from Dalton
to Atlanta marks him as the greatest
Fabian strategist OF the century. 1t
was made in the face of oycrwhelm-
ing forces, whose losses exceeded
our hero's entire command; and il
will become the study Of all enlight,
ened military circles,
The South stands with uncovered
head whilst the Temple Of Fame re-
ceiycs another Of her immortas.

memory! Cherished his deeds in

GEN. JOS. f. JOHNSTON.
The Genius of the Soldier Who OPP
posed Sherman.

WASHINGTON, Mich. 27.-[Special. ]
Now that Gen. Joseph +. John
ston has crossed the river the world
seems to he more fair. The papers
are full of him. and everybody who
knew OF his private or public military
life are coming forward now to tell
of the pure simplicity of the former
and the greatness of the latter.
Union generals who fought him,
/ Confederate generals who were with
him now openly declare that he was
the greatest soldier America ever
produced He is put above Lee,
Grant. Sherman, Hood, and all the
rest. The Union soldiers say that
he fought Sherman with not quite
half the men the latter had, and yet
did it in such mastery way that
history will give him the most prom
inent niche in the gallery of fame.
| was talking to Union general
few days ago about him, and, con-
densed, this is about what he said:
"When Sherman encountered
Johnston he had at least two to one
men over tho latter. This proper
ton was not kept up because we
were getting a new man from home
for every one we lost by death,
wounds or sickness. Besides this,
we had clothes and supplies and were
as well equipped as any army ever
was. Our success at Nashville and
other points in Tennessee about this
time gave us the greatest confidence.
Every man killed, wounded or cap
tured by us was dead loss to the
Confederatcs. Therefore, the pro-
portion of the armies did not last
long. We kept our strength while
that of the Confederates failed. The
saving of strength, or to put it more
clearly, the economy in men, should
have been and was the main idea of
Johnston. He had to fight, but he
did not want to lose any men in so
doing. His campaign was based on
this idea.
"When the two forces were march
ing around in Georgia, Sherman had
at least Go 900 men and Johnston
about 10000, and yet with this force
Johnston restrained Sherman from
marching more than two miles day
tor a month. There has never been
IN the history of warfare any such re-
treat as Johnston made when the
conditions, such as supplies, sur
rounding him are considered. "
Gen. Rosecrans, in an interview,
say that as strategist Johnston has
no equal. with the few men at his
command it took Sherman eighty
four days TO drive Johnston eighty
four miles, which is the distance
from Resaca to Atlanta"
Whatever may have been john
ston's ideas of the military charac-
tiers of the men with he was associa-
ted, he never criticised them after
the war was over. He was as mod
est in Congress as he was in the
army. In this body his judgment
and forethought was confided in.
He did very little talking here as
elsewhere. He did not seem to like
official life and was content in his
simple home which he had fixed up
to suit his tastes and in which he
peacefully passed the last days of
most eycntfuI career. - Dallas (TeX)

 A horse which had been pulling 8 heavily loaded wagon suddenly took it in to his head to lie down on State street, and then he refused to rise
 A large number of men gathered around, and of course every man had a suggestion to offer e''Yank the bridle!" yeneda man in a buggy. -..-. .. The bride was ''yanked," but the horse still lay there.
 "Twitch his tail!' screamed a man on the sidewalk.
 The tail was twitched, and the horse seemed rather to like it.

 The prodding was promptly performed. No result.
 "Stick pins in his ear!' remarked man, evidently an active member of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

GOING INTO COURT.


 There will be no rest. Judge Morris has announced that he will bring quo war ranto proceedings against Governor Bulke- ley. We suppose his claim will be that the court has no right to go behind the re- turns, and that it must tell the legislature that it has not done right in failing to de- clare Judge Morris governor.
 There are quite as many opinions about the jurisdiction and probable action of the court as there have been about the legisla- ture. Some good lawyers think the court will say that the whole matter belongs to the legislature and will refuse to consider it. If this should happen of course no progress would be made. If, however, the court should decide to go into the whole matter it's decision would doubtless make some things clearer than they have been, and perhaps when the legislature came together again the de- cision would be accepted by both parties.
 Time will tell. It seems to us that the case would be in better shape for the court if Judge Morris had done some act per taining to the office of governor and then been inquired of by Governor Bulkeley. But nobody can be entirely pleased in this muddle. It is to be hoped that the court will feel able to deal with the question. Unless it can there is no hope for any set clement.

 Italy adopted a shrewd policy in the con- struction of her navy. When our moni- tors and ironclads during the civil war revolutionized the old order of naval architecture all over the world Italy all lowed the other European governments to lead the way in construction, and entered upon the work of reorganization herself when she had the most improved models and types ready at hand. The result is that at less cost she has secured a navy not so very far inferior, so far as the num- Der of ships goes, to any one of them. The United States have only one ship that could for a moment think of opposing the the great battleships of Italy She is the Miantonomah. Italy has ships capable of smelling New York from the open sea.

ANOTHER DANGER.

It now appears that Woman would do we'll to give up chewing gum, or at least be careful to chew real gnm when she chews. An interesting case has recently been tried in an English court, in which a chewing gum seller was obliged to defend himself for being such 0 seller. It was submitted that the article was not one of food, since it was sold simply for chewing. Then it was suggested, that as sweets are so utterly indefinite in their composition, it was impossible to deal with them as ordinary articles of food. And the climax not sold to the prejudice of the purchaser, as the complainant said he did not intend to eat it. This was extremely ingenious, but the purchaser happened to be the in- spector of nuisances, who was merely col lecting evidence. The case ended for the present with the imposition of fine, on the ground that the substance was sold to the prejudice of the purchaser, inasmuch as it was not in the nature oi the substance and quality of the article demanded by the purchaser who asked fol gum and got parafin wax. All of which has moved the serious and care-t taking London Lancet to remark: If the case is ever taken to higher court, it is quite possible that it may be argued that the complainant did not ask for "gum," bu for "chewing gum" that he did not ge ''paraffin wax" but only 50 per cent I of "paraffin wax" and the remaining 5' per cent. of unknown ingredients whicl sufficiently bring the substance within tn legal meaning of "chewing gum" Bu
 what is 'chewing gum" The followin
 definition might be suggested: A sub
 stance of very variable composition, ignc
 rantly employed by children, which. whe
 containing parafin wax, may lead to yer
 grave dangers, and the sale of whic
 should be prohibited.
 Well, we'll! If woman cannot safely lac
 or chew gum, what can she do?

 German coiliery owners think the day is coming when they will send coal to Eng fish markets. This idea is based partly on the working out of England's best seams; but more particularly upon the enormous improvement in transport through the great network of waterways in Germany which will be finished about ten or fifteen years hence. The Rhine Ems canal, which will be opened in about four or five years, is to connect the Rhen- ish Westphalian coal and iron industry with the German North Sea ports, from whence it is to be exported and placed on the English markets at cheaper rates than the home production. The Oder-Spree canal already in existence is to be widen ed, so as to enable lsrger barges, such as will be used on the Rhine-Ems canal, to be employed, and along this waterway the Silesian coal will be brought to Berlin, and again through the Spree and Havel to the whole Elbe district and the North Sea.

Pensioners Young Wives.

It is important for young women who are contemplating marriage with veteran for pension purposes to note that a law has been passed on that subject. By the provisions of the disability act, marriages contracted after last June do not entitle the widows thereof to draw a pension. This is rather rough on the old soldiers, whose chances of getting a young wife are largely reduced, but it will save our posterity several generations hence from such pension roll as we are carrying, on which are the names of twenty-th three Revo- lutionary widows, over one hundred years after the close of that war.

We ran into the field and found that the enemy had taken up e strong po- sition behind the old cannon. Ours is a real battle field, you know, and has been there ever since the war; So we formed in line and Fred made flank movement, meaning to take the enemy in the rear: but when he heard Fred coming he charged on our line and Toddles Ian away, but Ms1 and retreated in good order and formed again behind rock, and began to shell him with green apples. He stopped teTeat the apples, and meanwhile Fred completed his flank movement, and falling upon the enemy's rear. whacked it violently with a stick, waving his flag all the time and shouting, "Yield, eaitiif! Yield, craven hound." q tell him that nowadays people don't say those things in war, but he al ways says that Roland and Bayard did. and that what suited them will suit him ) Well, the enemy turned suddenly on Fred and drove him back against the can | non; but by that time had advanced again and Toddles was blowing the bugle as hard as he could, which seemed to dis concert the enemy. Fred took a flying leap from the cannon right over his back, and putting himself at our head rallied us for grand charge We rushed forward, driving the enemy before us. A panic seized him and he fled in disorder; we pur. sued him as far as the fence, and he goi through hole and escaped, but not be | fore we each had good whack at him. Ii | was a glorious victory.

The Feather Game.
From the Lewiston Journal.


 A big sheet and small feather are all that are needed for this game, provided you have the children, and if you haven't them in the house call in thea neighbours children, and in giving pleasure to them and joining in their mirth you will almost grow young again yourself. To play this game the players all sit upon the floor in a ring, holding on to the edges of the sheet, which they try to keep as taut as possible One person is ''it," and he or she tries to grasp and capture the feather, while the others strive to prevent this by blowing the feather across the sheet out of reach of the pursuer.
 Meanwhile the latter runs this way and that around the circle of players, grabbing here and there and doing his best to get hold of the elusive object. To accom- plish this is quite difficult, because a sin. gle we'll directed puff of the breath will send the feather clear across the sheet When the person who is ''it'' succeeds ir capturing the feather, the player to whom the feather was nearest when it was grasped becomes 'tit" in turn, his or heI place being taken by the capturer.

Is prepared to furnish competent nurses (male or female), for any case of sickness or accident, at a moments notice
 Nurses for future engagement may be here secured without danger of disappoint- ment at the time of need Nurses sent from the Directory As Trained Nurses have not only their diploma from the Training School, but an experience in the sick room since leaving the Hospital wards. As the value of Trained Nurses is better known and their services more ap- preciated, the demand steadily increases and is often greater than the supply For this reason and in consideration of the fact that there are many whose means will not allow the expense of a trained nurse, and many cases where the work to be done can be performed by a person of good judgment without special training, we have on the register the names of many nurses of long experience who aye willing and can afford to devote their time 10 the care of the sick at n much less price than the services of a trained nurse will com mand Any Special Nurse desired by the physician or patient will always be found and sent if possible When no narse is specified in the call the best nurse avail able for the case will always be sent.
 Time, expense and anxiety can be saved by securing nurses through the Directory.
