 A good story of General Sheridan was told the other day by a Mexican, an inti- mate friend of the great northern soldier in his lifetime. One day, calling on the commander of tho army at his office in Washington, he found him at his desk, his feet incased in slippers and his shoes democratically placed on the top of the desk. While the general was apparently absorbed in some writing the Mexican gentleman, who thought some servant had left the warriors shoes in the wrong place, took his cane and gently deposited the shoes on the floor The next day the Mex ican called on Sheridan and found him at his desk, shoes on top as before. The po- lite resident of the tropics began once more removing his shoes to the floor, when all at once Sheridan roared out:
 Don't do that again, sirl You made mo ridiculous, sirl''
 sI beg your pardon, general, but how have made you ridiculousP"
 Why, sir said Sheridan, still annoy ed, yesterday, sir, I went out to walk after you had called on me- was nearing the White House when noticed a gentle man looking at mo intently. Soon he ad- dressed me, saying, Excuse me, general, but aren't you afraid of catching coldY' Why, sir, no. Not that am aware of. What is tho matter, sir2' Well, said the gentleman, it is damp, and you are going about in your slippers. I tell you, sir, said Sheridan, addressing his Mexican friend, you made me ridiculous. It is my habit, sir, to put my shoes on my desk where cannot fail to see them, so may not forget to put them on, and, confound 1t, sir, you come around here with your notions of propriety and send mo around town in my slippers, sir ''-Boston Her ald

When Corbett Began to Train.

II. l.. Kiner. i'm the GencscO News.
gives the following "reminiscences Of
the early pugilistic training Of Cham
pion j. j. Corbett:
A few years ago. Mrs. kiner's
brother. Arthur Howard, then stew
ard at big hotel in San Francisco,
wrote to his sister as follows: by
the way. tell Henry that my room
mate is bank clerk. and that he is
remarkably dextrous with boxing
gloves. In fact he is quite infatua-
ted with the exercise, and passes
much of his spare time with them.
when he can coax anybody to put
them on with him. which is becOm-
ing more seldom every day. Tell
Henry if he comes to the coast will
run him up against my room mate.
and they can have a nice time to-
geiher.- We acknowledge to a great
deal of gratitude: but few of it is in
the direction of our dear. thoughtful
brother-in-law. We are grateful that
we didn't fioai around the coast any
that year. The bank clerks name
was J. J. Corbeit. Had we put the
gloves on with him. he probably
would have jolted loose everything
about us that the word calls fair. and
left nothing but the midway plais-
ance.

cheerful view of the situation than
that gentleman. He SAYS: My in
formation and belief are that we are
on the eve of Improvement in the
west, and that the railways have
seen the worst conditions. De-
cisive action by congress one way
or the other respecting the tariff
would undoubtedly give a consider
able impetus TO general business. The

The statement in the Union that
THE Argus reports Of the evidence
in the Weaver case are in any way
one-sided, is a gross and malicious
fabrication. emanating from an ass.
who shows his conception Of what a
newspaper should furnish its readers
by stating that '.the evidence of
civil cases is seldom reported in the
press. the result being about all that
people care to know" 1t is a little
strange then that the evidence pub
lished in The ARGUS should be SO
closely read as to cause comment.
However, The ARGUS is not guided
by the morning papers idea of what
should constitute the duty of the
press. 1t seeks to publish the news
fully as it happens. and its reports
of court proceedings are given with
out bias. color or prejudice. and
they cannot be regarded otherwise
by disinterested people. II may be
added furthermore. that it will con-
tinue to furnish such facts to its
readers. whether it publishes infor-
nation ''seldom reported by the
