Sherman Talks About His Bum

General Horace Porter in his Cam
paigning with Grant" in the Septem-
Der Century, tells of the meeting of
Sherman and Grant at City Point,
where the former gave an account of
his famous march to the sea- General
Porter says.
Sherman then went on to talk about
his famous ''bummers," saying: "They
are not straggIers or mere self-consti-
tuted foragers, as many have been led
to suppose. but they are organized for
a very useful purpose from che aGyen-
turouS spirits who are always found in
the ranks. They serve as 'feelers' who
keep in advance and on the TANKS of
the main columns, spy out the land,
and discover where the best supplies
are to be found. They are indispens-
able in feeding troops when compelled,
like my army, to live off the country,
and in destroying the enemy's comnlu-
nications. The bummers, are, in fact,
q regular institution. I was amused
at what one of Schofield's officers told
me at Goldsboro. He said Schofeld's
army was maintaining a telegraph line
to keep up communication with the sea-
coast, and that one of my Flen, who
was a little more previous than the
rest, and was far in advance of my
army, was seen up telegraph pole

What are you doing there? You're
destroying one of our own telegraph

at his questioner, and said, as he con
tinued his work Of destruction: TN

the last thing he said to us when we
started out on this hunt was: BE sure

About $50 last night a man was picked
up on Main street and taken to the police
station He was in a semi-conscious COR
dition when picked up but regained full
consciousness before he reached the sta
ton. He had evidently fallen on the
street in a fit and was very pale and sick.
He seemed to be suffering with severe
pains IN the abdomen. and asked the
police to allow him to lie down. He wuS
placed on a table in the station and fixed
as comfortable as possible He grew
steadily worse and finally Dr. Daily was
summoned and examined him. The
doctor thought that he had probably been
loaded and had taken laudanum TO re
lieve the pain. He left the patient with
directions to the police 70 summon him if
the man sunk deeper into the stupor he
was in. The police were at loss how
to determine this. as the man was even
then SO deep that they could not rouse
him. His name is Bert Olsen and he
said he was from Bingham.

A Thoughtful workman's Views on
the Labor Problem.

From 'The Workers. by Walter a
wyckoff, in the September Scribner's:
We were called at on Tuesday
morning, and at GAO we had bres fast
ed and were ready to start for the
works, each with his dinner folded in a
piece of newspaper. Passing from our
side street to the road which leads to
the post we we're at once merged in a
throng of working men moving in our
direction.
I was suddenly aware of a novel inn
preston of Individuality Gangs of
Workingmen, as I recalled them, were
uniform effects in earth stained jeans,
and rugged eountenanees rough with a
varying growth of stubborn beard To
have distinguished among them would
have seemed like distinguishing among
a crowd of Chinese Now individuality
began TO appear in its vital separate
ness and to awaken the sense of in
finite individual sensation, from which
We instinctively shrink as we do from
the thought of unbroken continuity Of
consciousness.
But my eyes we're growing sensitive
TO other differences, certainly to the
broad distinction between skilled and
unskilled workmen. Many orders of
labor were represented-masons, and
carpenters, and brickIayers, and plas-
-
evident superiority in intelligence, ac-
companied by a certain indefinable su-
periority in dress, was the general
mark of skilled labor. And then the
class of unsldlled workers was notice
ably heterogeneous in composition.
While many of the other class were
plainly of American birth.
1t is a mile from Highland, Fails to
West Point, and we moved priskIy.
There was little conversation among
the men. Most of them had taken off
their coats, and with these over their
arms and their dinner pals in hand
they walked along in silence, with their
eyes on the road. The morning was
sultry and overhung With heavy clouds.
full of the promise of rain. A forest
lines much of the road. and from the
overhanging boughs fell great drops of
dew, dotting the surface. of the soft

were gray with a coating of dust. and

SHOCKED BY ACTRESSES.
The Boarding School Girls Overheard
Some Professional Talk.

Chicago iTimes-HeraId: When the
weather is fine, neither too hot nor too
cold and the perceptress herself has
tested it by sticking her head out of the
window, four or five of the most Qigni-
fed pupils of a North Side boarding
school for girls are allowed to accom-
pany that learned lady in a stroll about
the most elevated parts of Lincoln
park. When the boarding school girl
does not follow the lines indicated by
comic opera librettists and farce writ
ers she is apt to go to the other ex-
IRENE and be very stiff, indeed. She
has more starch about her than q
steam laundry. She can frown you
out of existence at a blow Her triv-
ialities must be all of the most ethereal
and esoteric kind. She is bound by
convention and walled in by Formally
And, above all, she is the proDerest
creature of a very proper age.
Three or four of the latter class were
seated one afternoon last week on
rustic torture endeavoring to extract
beauty out of the budding trees and
the OH2 of Lake Michigan. Their guide
and teacher wore one of those smiles
which, to borrow an expression from
Photography, may be called a long ex-
poSure-
Presently on another seat within easy
hearing distance, sat two fashionably
dressed ladies. They were members Of
the dramatic profession, although no
one could have guessed it by their APP

Primary Election Reform.

If the universal corruption of pri-
maries or caucuses were not well
j. known. illustrations from all our large
cities might be given. But however
bad the primary now is, il is no worse
than the elections once were And
when we consider the great advance
made in ten years with the Australian
ballot and in the civil service, it in
spires the hope that the reform of the
primary can be brought about if the
people intelLgently organize to obtain
it. In fact, great advance has already
been made. It was only a few years
ago that the caucus and primary were
regarded as purely voluntary organiza-
lions with which the law should not in
any way interfere. Now there is a
general recognition of the right of the
state to provide for the government
of primaries.
Mayor Quincy of Boston, in a letter
referring to the successful efforts of
the friends of caucus reform last win
ter in that city, says:
81 am a very strong and convinced
believer in the idea that the law should
regulate political parties and their eau
cuses ana conventions, giving the mem
Der OF a party the same protection in
the enjoyment of his rights which is
given TO the voter at the polls. We
have been moving quite rapidly in this
direction IN Massachusetts in recent
years. The beneficial results of caucus
reform in stimulating the interest of
the voters and calling out q large at
tendance al the oaucuSeS has already
been amply demonstrated in this city.
and public opinion here is unquestion-
ably in favor Of carrying the regulation
OF caucuses to the full extent.
There is also a gratifying growth of
sentiment among leaders of men from,
all walks of life in the direction of the
idea that the primary is" as the late
David Dudley Field has said. the
pivot Of reform" 1t is surprising TO
find that church organizations Ike the
Christian EndeaTor and Epworth

along The line Of practical politics than
the average municipal reformer, The

WEALTH BEYOND BELIEF.
No Fortunes These Days Equal Those
Of Ancient Times.

There are no fortunes nowadays to
equal those of the mighty potentates of
ancient days who reared temples, pyra-
mids and cities by the hundred in an
incredibly short time. Even though
slave labor was employed, those slaves
had to be bought, fed, housed and
clothed s.
The slaves might build pyramids or
the Coliseum, but only skilled labor
could accomplish the sculpture of the
Assyrian palaces, the painting of the
Egyptian temples The city of Dur
Sargunu was erected on an empty plain
by the order Of a king in eight years,
standing on a mound of brick zoo acres
in area, with walls SO feet high. faced
with stone and broad enough for seven
chariots to run abreast.
Other Tnaryels are the miles of sculp-
ture which decorated the walls of Sar-
CONS palace. which also had colossal
bulls on eachLside of every doorway.
No impractical hand carved those re-
liefs. Were all the sculptors in the
empire summoned for the task which
was finished. like the city, in eight
years.?
