LIFE OF GENERAL SHERMAN

No literary announcement of the year is of greater interest to the general pub- lie than that of comprehensive Life of General Sherman, which IS about to be published and sold through agents by the noted house of Hubbard Broth CTS, of Philadelphia. Admirable biog- raphles of Grant and Sheridan, con- plete to the time of their death. are al ready familiar to the public, but life of the third great commander. to finish the series, has been lacking. The va rious biographies of Sherman hitherto published have necessarily been iucom- plete; and even his own memoirs, writ ten iu 1875. said almost nothing of his intensely interesting early life, and not a word, of course, of the more than twenty years of social activity and fra ternity with old comrades since the war.
 The work which is now to be issued will splendidly supply the widely felt demand fnr a history of the great strat- egic commander. It is being written by Willis FletcherJ ohnson, hose abilit, as historian is familiar to the reading public of America through his former unusually popular works, which have had millions of readers, and the sales of their vast editions enriched an army of book agents; he is aided by Mai Gen. O O. Howard, a man of fine literary attainmeDts, who knew Sher- man better than any other of his com rades now living and ranked next bu, one to him in the army. That this his tory of Sherman, the last of the great Generals. will surpass all others in pop ularity is not to be doubted. 1t will doubtless be the best life of the gre t chieftain published, and we predict for 1t wonderful popularity.

SmallaRt Street in New York.


 The smallest and quaintest street in New York is located on the East Side, within one-quarter of mile of the city hall. It is named Chestnut street. It begins at Madison street, just below the junction of Madison with New Chambers, and runs diagonally across New Chambers and New Bowery streets to Oak street. There was a time, before New Chambers street was cut through, when Chestnut street de- served the title of 8 thoroughfare. It had some utility at that time, and could have been found without the aid of a microscope. But now it has no utility and only one la1nppost.
 That portion of Chestnut street be- tween Madison and New Chambers is just forty-five feet long. It cuts off a flatiron shaped building. the walls of which are decorated with announce ments of the Soup Greens society and the Swelled Heads, Jrs.
 Chestnut street starts to cross New Chambers and New Bowery, distance of about 2O0 feet. but becomes lost in a maze of street car tracks and k~cond Avenue Elevated Railroad pillars which traverses New Bowery street. After crossing this wilderness of iron diagonally Chestnut street enters into another fifty feet of existence between New Bowery and Oak street. Here, also, it cuts off a fiatiron shaped build ing used as cigar factory. The only possible utility that this portion of Chestnut street can have is to permit a short cut to the Oak Street Police sta tion.-New York Journal.

 The funeral services over the remains of ex Congressman Jonathan Scoville, who died at the Windsor Hotel in New York city; March 4, were held last Friday morning at the residence of his late brother, Nathaniel (. Scoville, No. 2, East Fifty-third street, New York. A special train via of the Harlem railroad and the 0. N E. & w railroad conveyed the funeral party to Salisbury, Conn, where the interment was made in the family lot in the ceme- tery iu tLat village. The following tri- bute is taken from Wednesdays Buffalo Evening News, of which Mir E. H But Ter, an intimate friend of MT Scoville, Is the editor and proprietor:
 It is sad news to thousands in Buffalo that the Hon Jonathan Scoville is dead The end of his busy life came this morn- ing He died at the Windsor, his home III ANO" AOA h SAoy, Juoo oAVOA udS OIcdh.
 A unique character, sagacious, kindly, homely and eminently practical, was his. He led lonely life, had no socle- ty beyond that of his brother and few friends In political and business life, worked hard, undertook and pushed to snccess great enterprises, but kept in touch with the most progressive of cur rent thought, was well-read on all living subjects aud knew the world as a recluse rarely knows 1t.
 Ills acquaintance with men and measures was equally wide and his judgment was rarely at fault. Under a veil of cynical humor he hid generous wisdom which discerned essential good hess in other men, and a practical char ity that iS rarely equaled. In politics he WAS never effusive aud was no seek CT of honors, but his opinions were def- nite and based on clear conceptions ot public duty anu public equities. He mas the one man the democratic party could always elect to any office he would accept, His energy greatly helped the developement of Buffalo His life was iu many ways benefit to the communi ty in which he lived, and his death Is the loss of 8 good man and good citi- Zen.

Saving Cartoons.

A method for using the short pieces of carbon used in the electric arc lights is in operation by the electric light com pany at Concord, N. H., and it is stat. ed that it saves 30 per cent. of the cost. The tri1nmers bring to the station all the short pieces of carbon collected on their daily rounds. They are then sorted and matched so as to form a carbon about eight inches in length. They are then placed in a machine which forms a dowel on one piece and a socket in the other, and they are ce- mented in the joints, the cement be- ing heat proof and a great conductor, so that the light is as steady when the joint is reached. The splicei cartoons are used only in the holder. Cartoons thus joined have been used for over q year, and the prospect is vcry success ful.-Boston Transcript.
