Eckels re-
SHERMAN AND STANTON.
Charles A. Dana Tells of Their Nee ting
at the Great Review.

Our able Republican contemporary,
the Globe-Democrat. of st. Louis, pro-
poses to correct what it calls a very
incorrect statement of a memorable
incident of the war, and here is the
of improvements:
1t was at the final march and review
of Union troops in Washington sue
ceeding the surrender of Lee. The
president and his cabinet were on the
grand stand and General Sherman
stopped and diSmounted to pay his re-
spects. Secretary Stanton. like his as
sociates, proffered his hand to the
general, who, however, passed on with
out noticing either the hand or its
owner. But General Sherman did not
then, or at any other time, tell Stanton
that he was nothing but id clerk .
He used this language afterward in
speaking of, but not to, Stanton with
another party to whom he was relat-
ing the cause of his GOODNESS" toward
Stanton, which was the latter's con-
duct in countermanding orders issued
by Sherman to the army in North
Carolina
This is not the truth We were pres
ent on that stand Immediately behind
Mr.. Stanton, and heard and saw every
thing that happened there, while to all
the circumstances relating to General
Sherman we paid the most care
full attention. Nothing theatrical
occurred, and there was no man
Hesitation of excitement on either
side When General Sherman APP
preached Mr.. Stanton did not offer his
hand or make any movement to offer
it. He did not look particularly at
General Sherman nor speak to him.
and Sherman had no opportunity OF
repelling any advance in word or ges-
ture AS Sherman passed along in front
of him Mr.. Stanton neither opened his
lips, nor smiled, nor in any way de-
parted from the entire tranquility of
his attitude, except to make a brief
and impersonal forward movement of
his head, approaching bow, in recog-
milton of the passage of general Of
ficer with other officers attending him
That was all
So many untrue reports have been
set afioat respecting this incident that
it is a duty to record the exact truth

Mr. Eckels sighed. THE controller is

exclaimed:

OBSERVATORY OF MONT BLANC.
1t is Founded on the Hard Snow OF the
Summit.

The observatory on the summit Of
Mont Blanc is now complete. As al
ready announced, it was constructed
at Meudon. in France, and transported
in pieces to the top of the mountain by
the railway to Chamounix, and from
thence by porters and snow trollies of
special make. 1t is founded on the hard
snow of the peak, the base being over
thirty feet long by sixteen feet wide.
The open frame work of wood has
the form OF truncated pyramid in
reached by a spiral staircase. The roof
is surrounded by a railing and serves
for meteorological observations. All
the walls of the rooms, as well as the
windows. are double, and the latter can
be closed by alright shutters. Pro-
vision is made for keeping the observ-
atory vertical in case the snow of the
foundation should lose its level, after
the manner of glacial ice. The interior
will be heated by petroleum and fur
nished with every necessary for life at
that great altitude.
The first to suggest the institution of
an observatory on Mont Blanc was ap-
parently M. Vallot, an Alpine climber,
who, at his own expense, DullC one
near the summit, but M. Jansen, the
astronomer, has conSummated the idea,
thanks to the support of some we'll
known public men-M Leon Say, NJ
BiSchoffsheinl, NJ. DeleSSert, Prince RO-
land Bonaparte, Baron Alphonse de
RothSchild and Count Greffulhe-who
have formed themselves into society
for its support. NJ. Jansen, it will be
remembered, despite his age, made a
journey to the summit of the mountain
to see whether the project was feast
BILE. behring's failed to reach the rock,
and it was decided to build the obserV-
atory on the snow.
/ NJ Jansen has again assembled the
mountain in order to make the first
scientific observations. The question
which. above ALL he wishes to settle is
the presence or absence of oxygen in
the solar atmosphere. He has already
made observations on this point, but
with an inferior Dubosq spectroscope,
and not on the summit of Mont Blanc,
where the atmosphere is so pure. On
! this occasion he used a Roland spec
troscope, which, unlike the other, gives
the details of the B group of lines in
! the solar spectrum. The result only
confirmed his former conclusion, name
! ~, that the oxygen lines observed by
! Draper and others in the solar spec
trum have a -telluric origin; that is to
say. they are due to the earth'S atmOs-
plere. Apart from it's scientific value,

and lodging to the Alpine traveller, who
can thus remain for a few days on the
summit. whatever the weather may be-.

Benefits of the cholera Scare.

The cholera scare may have caused
considerable uneasiness while it lasted,
but there is no doubt that it had a
salutary effect. When the danger Of
a visitation of the dread disease SEEM
ed imminent, the officials whose bust
ness it is to conserve the public health
dwelt upon the important part played
by sanitation in fighting cholera.
While there was no attempt to deny
the fact that much depended upon the
quarantine authorities, it was very
plainly demonstrated that fully as
much depended upon cleanliness. Con-
sequently there was a. general cleaning
up and washing out in our large cities.
The localities that would be especially
vulnerable to an attack of cholera re-
ceived special attention and in short
while were in a state of cleanliness
such as they had never before known.

EARNINGS OF MARRIED WOMEN.
Nowadays They Sometimes Cut Quite p
Figure in the Domestic Menase.


Figure in the Domestic Menage.
A married woman is not usually
supposed to contribute directly to the
family purse, says the New York Com
mercial Advertiser, her time and
strength being sufficiently taxed when
she keeps house, manages children and
servants and administers carefully the
domestic affairs which lie within her
province. That the husband shall pro-
vide the means and the wife attend to
their outlay, saving and economizing
as thrifty as she can, is the ordinary
arrangement sanctioned by custom and
agreeable to our idea of business and
a fair division of labor 1t is now
quite usual, however, for married wo-
men to supplement the income of the
family by the exercise of some gift or
accomplishment. They write, or teach,
or lecture, or paint pictures; they en-
broider, or make pickles or preserves.
With a delightful feeling Of indepen-
dence and the most generous and ten
der unSelfishneSs, wives who earn
money by some effort Of this kind
spend it for family uses. It goes to
pay school bills and purchase shoes.
Wherever there is a. deficiency the sup
Elementary earnings of the wife fit in
so easily and in so timely a manner
that both husband and wife count on
this added income as if it were in the
anticipated order of things. Often a
style of living rather more expensive
than would be practicable on the hus-
bands salary or on the profits from his
business is adopted because of the
wife's earnings; a larger rent is under
taken or the living of the family is on
a broader scale. 1t is not usual for a
wife to hoard or invest her earnings
separately; they go into the common
purse, and are spent either for luxu-
ries or for the benefit of the children.

The Kaiserin an Amateur Photographer

It is not generally known that the
German Empress is an ardent dilet-
tante photographer. Wherever she goes
her majesty takes her camera with
her and has produced many quite ex-
cellent pictures. On the recent hunt
ing expedition in Eberswalde, when the
kaiser shot an especially fine deer, the
kaiserin Immediately photographed it
She accompanied his majesty on most
on the last day the imperial pair were
photographed together, the kaiserin
with a lasso and a revolver in her
hand. Her majesty has photographed
her children in every kind Of position
and costume; the pictures are, how
ever, only shown to favored friends,
and the public may not have a glimpse
of them.-New York World.

How the Colored Drayman Was Consoled
for the Loss OF His Wife.
