M'CLELLAN'S WAY.

How He Won the Confidence OF His
Soldiers.
An incident that is narrated of Gen.
Mcclellan sheds light on the question
often asked: Why did his soldiers love
him so dearly?
When the army of the Potomac left
Harrison Landing, it marched to New
port News, along the north bank of the
James river The advance division be.
gan it's march early in the morning OF
move out of camp until four o'clock in
the afternoon of the same day.
Just at dusk creek was reached. 1t
must be crossed according to southern
custom, by fording, or by single log
by the roadside The soldiers disliking
| to fill their shoes with water, were try
ing to cross on this single log, which Of
course caused an obstruction to those
behind, and really put the rear of the
army in danger.
Soon several officers rode up and took
| in the situation. There was need of
more haste. One of the officers called
| out:
"Wade right through, my men; wade
right through"
Some surly fellow from the ranks
growled out:
"Wade through yourself, and see how
you like it"
No sooner had he spoken than the
officer dismounted and waded through
the creek 1t was then discovered
that the officer was Gen. George b. Nc
Clellan.
The soldiers gave him hearty cheer,
plunged into the creek, and afterward
the point was passed more rapidly four
abreast.
The general might have reprimanded
the soldier-indeed he might have had
him arrested and dealt with severely.
But under the circumstances he did
just the right thing-he went where
he asked his men to go; and his men
were glad to go where he led-Youth'a
Companion
in 1881 it is said that the heat
throughout the United States was the
greatest on record, the thermometer in
many places registering los degrees in
the shade. In England the mercury reg
istered from 80 to 101 degrees, and in
Paris, 93 degrees. In London it was the
hottest season known in twenty-five
years. The director of the Paris OBJ
servatory declared there was no record
of such intense heat-Brooklyn Citi-

hold u series of Worlds Women's con-
gresscs between April and November of
W. each congress to represent women
workers in all professions, and Invitations
to that end are being sent to women
throughout the world who have been pub
liciy identified with movements calculated
to elevate and advance their sex.
The appeal to the women artists of all
nations, for instance, aud the signatures
to which are headed by no less IL celebrity
than Harriet Hosmer, urges that CON
gress of this particular profession will do
much in the way Of cultivating fratcrnal
spirit, and possibly bring about II solution
OF many special difficulties that surround
the pursuit of art as n profession for wonl-
en-. Talking of the gentler sex, moreover,
brings to mind the fact that one of the
most priced letters that Secretary Phoebe
Couzins has yet received bears the sigma
ture of NJ Tetano, the envoy extraordinary
and minister plenipotentiary from Japan
to Washington. Like their neighbors of
China the people of Japan are pronounced
in their opposition to women interesting
themselves in public affairs
But NJ. Tetano is evidently imbued with
American ideas of liberality and progress.
At any rate, he not only helps tho lady
managers along with words of encourage
ment but says that he believes the women
of his country could be induced to make u
special exhibit, and even submits the
names of three Japanese ladies whose co.
operation, in his judgment, could be se-
cured. These are Countess Oynma, wife
of the present minister of war, and Mines
kurki and Musta, the two latter being ex-
ceedingly prominent and influential in
Japanese society, and attached to the
household of the empress.
Communications written in tho japanese
language, and couched in the most mp
proved Japanese style, are now on their
journey to the ladies in question, md soon
circulars will be sent to every member Of
the diplomatic service in Washington,

sociates asking the diplomats to use their
influence toward the organization OF wom-
ems societies in their respective countries,

points out that under the present rules the
day is not far distant when the whole
