A STORY OF GENERAL SHERMAN

Gen. Sherman related the following
anecdote of his experience in Memphis
1t was in July 1862, when we entered
Memphis. Before the first of the troops
reached the town orders had been issued
by the rebel authorities that every shop,
tavern, hotel, theater or public place
should be closed, and we entered a city
as still as the dead. sent to the mayor
and explained to him that Memphis was
being visited by American soldiers, his
countrymen-that such q reception was
inhospitable and must be changed, and
that he must order and instruct every
house to be opened forthwith. This was
complied with, to the immediate salts
faction of everybody. There appeared.
however, at headquarters an Episcopal
clergyman named DR.. White, who some
what demurred. explained to him that
The people of Memphis greatly needed
Christian enlightenment, and he must
promptly open his church doors and adj
minister to their wants.
But said DR.. White, do you know that
the ritual of the Episcopal church has
been changed since the war?
No, said |; it hasn't, that l know of.
How so?
We now pray for Jefferson Davis, and
not for Mr.. Lincoln. | suppose l must
no longer pray for Mr.. Davis +?
Yes, sir ! Pray for him by all means.
He needs it, if anybody does.
But am | required to pray for Mr.. Lin
coin?
Oh, mol He's all right. He don't
need praying or.-Hiustrdted American.

AN INCREASE IN HE SCHOOL lax LEVY.

The board of education of the territory
on yesterday passed resolution request
ing the auditor to increase the tax levy
for school purposes to mills on the dol
lar. the limit allowed by law it will be
probably as well for the auditor to heed
this recommendation and increase the
levy, should the law allow such action at
this time. The supreme court will more
than likely hold, that all liquor license
funds pertain to the school funds
of the district within which col
lected This decision will cut the
school funds for precincts and districts
away from the larger towns down mater
tally. Three mills on the dollar will be
none too large then and in fact even
under that levy some OF the poorer school
districts will not benefit very much by
the tax. The proper maintenance of the
public schools even in the poorest districts
is of prime necessity to the advancement
and the education of the people; hence
the tax ought to be increased to its fullest
limit if possible at this time.
