sHEaMAN's DISPATCHES.
How He Cot Them From the CarOlinas to
Grant In Virginia.


Grant In Virginia.
While we were eating a whistle
blew. 1t was from little tugboat
that had steamed its way up the
swollen and dangerous river from
Wilmington. It passed the enemy
hidden ON either bank. 1t was the
first sound from the north heard
since the army left the ocean. No
one in all the north knew where
Sherman's army was. Rumors
brought from the south said it was
'fioundering and perishing in the
swamps of the Carolinas" That day
the general directed me to board this
tugboat, run down the river in the
night and carry dispatches to Gen.
eral Grant in front Of Richmond
and to President Lincoln at Wash
ington.
Don't say much about how we are
doing down here, said the general
as he put his arm about me and said
farewell that evening down at the
river bank. Don't tell them in the
north we are cutting any great swath
here. Just say we are taking care of
whatever is getting in front of us,
And be careful your boat doesn't get
Knocked to the bottom of the river
before daylight"
Our little craft was covered nearly
all over with cotton bales. The river
was very wide and out of it's banks
everywhere; the night was dark.
Whatever the enemy may have
thought of the little puffs of steam
far out on the dark, rapid water, we
got down to the sea unharmed. A
fleet ocean steamer at once carried
me to Virginia. Grant was in lit
tie log cabin at City Point, and when
an officer was announced with dis
patches from Sherman he was de
lighted. He took me into a bach
room, read the letters ripped out oi
my clothing and asked me many
questions. Then General Ord en-
tered.
Look here" said General Grant

Regarded POLITICAL.
The Arrest of Governor Waite Fails
to Cause Any Excitement at
Denver.
CHARGED TO REPUBLICANS,
Who in Turn Say It Is o Fight Be-
tween the "White Wings and
Populists.

DENVER, Aug. 3O.--The arrest Of Gov
ernor Waite and officials of the police
department ON charge of OBTAINING
and opening o letter intended for ex-
Police Matron Tikens has not caused
much excitement, being generally re-
garded as mere political move. Pop
ulists who are working 10 prevent the
denomination OF Waite declare that Re-
publicans who desire to have the gov
ernor renominated, believing he will be
the weakest candidate the Populists can
name, caused arrest for the purpose of
arousing sympathy for him in his
party and stampeding the convention.
On the other hand, the Republicans
say 1t IL purely political fight between
the Cleveland white Wings Democrats
and the Populists. The letter in ques-
tion was enclosed In an envelope and
addressed Police Matron, Denver
and it was opened by Matron Dwyer.
waite highly Indignant.
Governor Waite created scene In
the commissioner rooms. He was
highly indignant and when Deputy
United States District Attorney Rhodes
stepped toward him with extended hand
the governor met him with a cold stare.
Governor Waite pleaded mot guilty,
clairaing he had not opened the letter,
but that it's contents had been read q
him.
The hearing OF the case was set fol
next Thursday and it was suggested
that bail be fixed at 5000. The pris
oner sprang from his chair, paced ths
floor in front of the commissioners, and
exclaimed: "I ann the governor OF thil
state and these proceedings are had T.
interfere with me in the administration
Of my Office. Iwill not give bail. Yo,
may send ms to jail, bnt ] win not CIV,
bail. y
Finally the commissioner accepted
Governor Waite's personal recognizanc'
to appear for trial in the sum Of 800.

WHEAT AS ANIMAL FooD.
Rulletin ON the Subject Issned by eAe

Agricultural Department.
WASHINGTON, Aug. SO.--A bulletin on
wheat as an animal food, has been is
fued by the agricultural department.
Il was compiled by Mr.. d. =. Salamon,
chief of the animal industry bureau of
the depar tment, and is In response to
inquiries as 10 the value of wheat for
growing and fattening animals, sug-
gested by the important change in the
comparative prices Of wheat, corn and
oats. The bulletin advocates the use
of screenings and imperfect wheat as
animal food. and placing Of only the
best wheat ON the market. A statisti-
cal table shows the near approach
chemically of 26.6 pounds of wheat to
German standard ration for growing
from Q to 10 months of age, and the
fact that sS1S pounds Of wheat comes
much nearer the feeding standard for
fattening cattle than does the same
quantity of corn. Equal parts of wheat
and corn should, however, prove better
for fattening animals than either OF
these grains alone. For growing an

Wheat Superior Co Corn.
When wheat and corn are the same
price per bushel, says the bulletin, it is
preferable to feed onswheat and sell
corn. First, because wheat weighs Z
per cent heavier than corn; secondly
because wheat is weight for weight an
equally good grain for fattening ami
mails and better for growing animals
and thirdly because there is much less
value in fertilizing elements removed
from the farm ON corn than in wheat
Wheat should be fed at first i'm small
quantities, and when possible be mixed
with some other grain, aud care taker
to prevent any one animal from getting
more than the quantity intended for it
Precautions are especially necessary
when wheat is fed to horses.

From Canadian experiments it appear
that wheat exceeds corn in feeding

This City in tho Assembly.

New York city's delegation to the Albany
Assembly, which convenes next month, and
Is the last under the present ap~portionment,
will consist of II Republicans and 10 Dem
ocrats. The tenure Of ono Democratic
member credited with q plurality Of 80 votes
by the official count, Is in dispute, and II the
Republicans admit the Republican contest
ant, New York city's delegation will stand;
Republicans, Is; Democrats, 12. Important
partisan legislation is a part of the pro-
gramme OF the Republicans. Some legisls-
ton disconnected from considerations of
politics is also made necessary by the re-
cent adoption of the proposed amendments
TO the Constitution.
OF the 10 or II Republican Assemblymen
elect two only have had experience in the
Legislature. OF these each has a record of
q single term. A clear majority of them
are raw recruits, green and inexperienced;
yet to them, in reference to New York city
matters, must their Republican associates
from other counties look for information.
On the other hand, a majority of the Dem
pcratic Assemblymen elect have had expert
encs. The member from the First district
has a previous record Of our terms; the
member from the Fifth four terms; the
member from the Tenth two terms, and five
other Democrats in the delegation were in
the Assembly last winter. The anomalous
condition which confronts and may possibly
confound the Republican majority from
New York city, gives little promise Of wise
treatment of local affairs, and the greater
knowledge of the Democratic members may
be fruitful of political surprises, especially to
gentlemen of q reforming bent of mind.
The average majority of the Democratic
Assemblymen elect from this city Is 727;
that of the Republican Assemblymen 1,I78.

1t looks like an unfortunate thing or
Japan that Field Marshal YAMAoATA has been
compelled by illness TO retire from the field.
During his service of the past half year against
China he has won laurels as . conqueror, as q
commander not surpassed in genius by more
than two other men who have lived in the nine
tcenth century. His operations in Corea were
not less mastery than have been those upon Chi
nese soil. and every battle in which he has held
command has been an achievement in the great
er strategy. In him we have observed charac-
t~eristics that were illustrated by NAPOLEON. and
Others that belonged to MoLTKE. Japan must
find 1t hard to spare him.. BY his deeds he had
won the confidence OF the Emperor and tho de-
votion OF the army. IL was reported, before he
fell III. that he intended to prosecute the CAM
paign steadily through the winter season. and to
push onward to Pekin. For the sake OF civiliza-
tion and in the interest OF both the warning
1t Is to be desired that his successor
will be able to carry out his plans. Field Mar
shall hns an excellent reputation. and his
victory at Port Arthur Is not the only success TO
his credit In the war.
