A ROMANCE OF THE WAR.
a Pretty Story Related by General Sher-
man About a Peach Orchard.

At dinner party given not long ago
the General. being warmed up on the
subject of the war. related a number
of remarkable incidents. One story he
told was especially romantic and is
worthy of being preserved in print. He
said:

along the line upon which troops and
supplies had proceeded from Kentucky
and Tennessee TO the scene of conflict
to adjust certain claims put forward
by people along the route who had
furnished horses. commissary supplies.
etc. We had occasion to visit a farm
err named Mccoy, who lived on the
northern slope OF the kenesaw Mount
ain. We found him very pleasant
ly located, and on plateau near
his house he had planted a peach
orchard. then in a f0uriShing Condi-
ton. He told US that he had made the
discovery that peaches could be raised
on the northern side OF that mountain,
bat not on the southern side the warm
suns of the spring pushed the buds so
rapidly that they were very likely to

man to plant peach trees on the north
eGn slope and was making a great sue
cess of it.
He had two very pretty daughters,
aud myself and the young Lieutenant
took great interest in them. We pro-
longed our stay there several weeks.
and many is the pleasant stroll we had
in the simmer evenings through that
peach orchard. Ia fact, it was love
among the peach trees. Years after

command of Federal army at the
foot OF this same kenesaw Mountain.
The COnfcderates were occupying

came essential to attempt TO carry the
position on the mountain BY assault.

troops etc. and said TO him. You
will advance up the side of this mount
ain some distance. when YOU will come
TO plateau covered by peach or
chard. You can work your way
through that peach orchard, and after
that it will be hard work and close
fighting. bat think you eau carry the
position.
Mcpherson executed the orders as
best he could. but failed. In the even
ing he came 10 ME and described the
days fighting. and said: General, we
followed your instructions as carefully
as possible, and we found that peach
orchard Just where you said it was. but
beyond that we failed. What l am
wondering about is. how the devil you
knew that peach orchard was there

fair; there is romance connected with

The Indian" said he. has an idea
that the white man lives in luxury off
the work of others, and yet the agents
in the Northwest are constantly telling
him that the white man gets his living
by labor. One of our agents lectured
old Spotted Tail very roughly for the
idleness of his people. He told the old
warrior that the white man got his
fine clothes. elegant home and choice
victuals By hard work; that the white
man worked from morning till night
in field. Office or shop. Old Spot
listened with great profoundness till
the agent was done, then said that the
words had touched his heart deeply;
that he had heard something like that
from other agents, but nothing had
ever so deeply moved him. The ad-
vice had gone deep into his heart and
wrought great conviction.
81 am convinced that what you say
is true said the old chief. and l shall
advise my people to go to work. But
we mus have tools with which 10
work. We want the Great Father at

NEW YORK. April The gunboat
Bennington left her anchorage at City
Island this morning at 9 o'clock on her
trial for power. The accident to the
circulating pumps the day before had
been repaired. The conditions of wind
and sea were favorable all day. At 10
a. m. the first observations were made
and the trial was begun Steam press
ure at that time was l62 pounds at the
engines. During the first fifteen min
utes the average of revolutions were IA
a minute, and in the second period of
fifteen minutes it was las. After that
time, with increased draft. the steam
pressure rose to I67 pounds. and the
maximum number OF revolutions
never fell below 80 after the
first half hour, and at the
end Of four hours the engines
and boilers were doing well-so well
that it was decided to continue a half
hour longer and discard the first hall
hour of the trial. There was no falling
of the last half hour. and the result
was. the average of revolutions for four
hours was l51.I: average pressure, 1853:
vac, "a. 1: pressure in first receiver. 30
pounds. From comparisons made with
indicator cards taken under these con-
ditions it is safe to assume that the Ben
nington developed 3550-horse power.
The coal burned in four hours trial was
about fifteen tons, 1.792 pounds. an av-
erage of about forty pounds per square
foot of CRATE surface per hour. The
speed was sixteen knots, to which must
be added one knot for current. The

latter. The people in the coke regions
