Says Chancey Depew, of New York {:
"One story which General Sherman told
me gives the inside history of the famous
march to the sea. Sherman had been
importuning General Grant, President
Lincoln and the war department every
day for permission to cut loose from his
base of supplies and march through the
country from Atlanta to the sea coast
Stanton thought he was foolish Lin
coin was afraid he would loose his army,
and while General Grant in the main
agreed with the plan there were staff in
fiuences around that were hostile to its
execution. One day Sherman received
telegram from Lincoln saying that he
might use his discretion. He instantly
ordered one of his staff to take detach-
ment and tear down the wires for fifty
miles. This circumstance he never told
publicly, but he said that when General
Grants book WAS published he was in
terested in statement it contained to
the effect that when General Rawlins
went to Washington to countermand the
order permitting Sherman to march to
the sea he found that ''the rebels had
cut the Wires''

NEW YORK, July G. 1S91-America owes
big debt of gratitude to the men who have

where the old horse lies buried.
In England. for generations, rich men have
raised hunters. The very term thorough

ability to jump fence and to carry heavy
weight stoutly across meadow. pasture and
plowed land in the wake of a fox has been
developed in this long-legged animal at the
expense of the more practical qualities of
the roadster. Except for the hackney
horses, the big gap between the hunter and
the cart-horse is not very we'll filled In En-

The fact is the Americans, the most prac-

to the country, worth many times its
