HEROES At VARIANCE.
Vhe Ungallant Conduct Of the Nation
Idols.

The Ungailant Conduct of the Nations
Idols.
The publication of Mr. McClure's
series of papers on Mr. Lincoln and a
number of the leading actors in the late
war has called ont flood of hidden
letters and unknown facts from all sec.
tons of the country, and many Of them
painfully illustrate the disgraceful biclS-
erings of even the idols of the nation in
both field and forum.
An autograph letter written by Gen.
Hooker from his headquarters at Column
| bus, o., in October, 1864. is among the
many developments of the hidden liter
AZURE of our civil war. Hooker and Sher-
man seems to have got at cross pur-
poses in the Chattanooga campaign,
where both rendered conspicuous ser
vice--HoolSer at Lookout mountain and
Sherman in the assault upon Missionary
ridge. In the reorganization that fol-
lowed when Grant was called to the
lieutenant-generalship. Hooker deemed
himself aggrieved, was relieved of his
command at his own request, and prac-
tically retired from active service by re-
ceiving command of the northern de-
partment. with headquarters at Column
bus. 0. Upon what terms Hooker and
Sherman separated after their brilliant
achievements at Chattanooga may be
understood from n single sentence in
Hooker's autograph letter, in which he
says; at would have been a luxury to
have broken my sabre over the head of
Sherman before leaving the Twentieth
corps: but as it is. l suppose / shall
have to forego that pleasure for the
present.
Gen. Hooker was not exceptional
in the bitterness he cherished arains,
his successful rivals in the field Him.
self one of the most brilliant lieutenants
of the war, but obviously incapable as
the commander of a great army, and
impulsive often to the point of insubor-
dination. he naturally underestimated
his own defects as a military chieftain.
and overestimated the defects Of those
who were more successful than himself.
In this Gen. Hooker was simply human.
for, with all the varied achievements Of
our best military men, there were few
indeed who were close friends and CO.

A Floating Settlement.

Memphis counts among its citi-
zens a large number Of people who
have never live upon any land, but
occupy a floating settlement of
Households. The boats are some
times named, and many of them are
neatly painted, and show signs of
comfortable furnishings, judging
from lace curtains at the windows
and pictures to be seen hanging on
the walls Of the interior. The
colony is made up of representatives
from twenty odd States drained by
the Mississippi and its tributaries.
Moored side by side $50 boats were
counted by the writer, who learned
that some of the families began their
navigation of the river as far north
as Montana. 1t is not a fixed popu-
lation, for, although most of the
boats have been anchored at Men,
phis long time, the absence of one
of the families is noted now and
then, and the inquirer is told that
the head of the house has changed
his habitat to New Orleans or some
other river city. To poor man
there are many advantages in this
way of living. Thehouse-boat own
er, of course, pays no rent, to escape
it he took to the water. His food
consists chiefly of fish, at catching
which he is an adept. He knows
better than anybody else where to
find the cat, the buffalo, the perch
and innumerable other fish. Drift
wood serves him for fuel, and
clothes, tobacco, spirits, and few
necessaries are secured by an oc-
casional days labor as a 'longshore-
man, roustabout or farm hand.

Frugal.

A wealthy, but most miserly old
New England farmer, went out
west to visit daughter whom he
had not seen for twenty years, and
his visit gave him no pleasure be-
cause it cost ''such a sight to git
there" and there was before him the
agonizing necessity of spending the
amount of his fare home.
On his way home he was taken
dangerously ill, and some Of the
sympathetic passengers began ques-
tioning him in regard to his home
and family, that telegram might
be sent to his friends, whereupon
the old man, flashing mo surren-
der yet" look from his gray eyes,
said:
~ amt goin' to pay fer no tele-
gram to nobody, an / amt goin' to
die yit. These here drafted railroads
charge double fare fer carryin' a
cawpse an they don't git no double
fare out o me!'
And he died triumphant while
they were carrying him from the
car at his own station.

then fell asleep, with her hand

Through long weeks she nursed
him-weeks which taught her that
all her future must be wretched-
ness, since her promise to her dead
father forbade that he should share
it.
But one evening, as they sat to-
gether in the twilight, he almost
wholly convalescent now, he spoke
them, as in low, endearing accents
he asked her to be his wife.
Amid bitter sobs she told him all
then, and hid her face between hel
hands. But he gently drew them
down, and drew her head upon his
breast.

Thoughtlessness.

Farmer Simpson was an exceed
ingly mild-natured man, and would
find excuses for the shortcomings
of his neighbors, for the faults of
his horses and, in fact, for every un-
pleasant thing that came in his
way. He purchased cow, and had
great difficulty in keeping her in
the pasture.
"She's kind Of -rovin' critter,
but she means we'll" he said, after
q walk Of several miles in pursuit Of
her.
One morning he was milking the
COW, when she began to kick vio-
lently, upset the stool, sent the pail
flying, and all the milk was spilled.
The farmer got up, and contem-
plating the ruin, said gravely to a
witness of the disaster:
"Well, now, that's the worst fault
this COW has"
Then after q moments medita-
ton, feeling that perhaps he had
been unnecessarily severe, he added.
THAT is, if you call it a fault; nay
be it's only thoughtlessness."
