sHERIoAN's BEST SPEECH.

A Newspaper Man Tells the Circumstances
OF When It Was Made.
1.-The last time General Phil Sheridan
was in Milwaukee, said Bob Howard,
the newspaper man, twas when the
Army Of the Cumberland held its an
nual reunion here in 1882. A banquet
was given the association at the Ma
tional home. General Sheridan presided.
In his opening speech he was puzzled for
words. but after a fashion be managed
TO stammer out something that but few
heard and less understood. / was report
ing the event for The Sentinel and had
taken down everything Sheridan said
just as he spoke il. When he got through.
he came around to see me and said,
Look here. Mr.. Reporter. do you want
to please mef''
Deed, do. general.
Then please don't print any Of that
id slush of mine. Just make up a
nice little speech for me. -"
Howard made up dainty little speech
for the commander Of the American
army, which greatly pleased him.
A few years later, when ne was ON
duty at Washington. Towards duties
frequently took him to headquarters,
and he always met q hearty welcome.
The first time ne called Sheridan said
"Oh, yes, remember you! You are the
man who made that nice speech for me
in Milwaukee.
On several occasions he introduced
Howard to his friends as the author OF
the best speech he ever made.-Chicagc

In The Atlantic Monthly Mr. Charles
Warren Stoddard, describing the APP

Roaring Camp" explains the story Of
the woman who was opposed 70 its pub,

ings of this incident. Mr. Stoddard's
version is unquestionably the correct
one.

had been in doubt as to his vocation be-

they had never been shaken save by the

climax was precipitated when the Justly
indignant editor, whose motives, liter
ary Judgment and good taste had been
impeached, declared that 1.-THE Luck Of
Roaring Camp should appear in the
very next number of The Overland

Don't Civ. IN.

Sorrow came TO you yesterday and
emptied your home. Your first impulse
now is to give mp and sit down in de-
SPAR amid the wrecks of your hopes.
But you dare not do it. You are in the
line OF battle, and the crisis is at hand.
To falter a moment would be to imperil
some holy interest. Other lives would
be harmed by your pausing. Holy inter
ests would suffer should your hands be-
folded. You must not linger even to in
dulge your grief. Sorrows are but moi
dents in life and must not interrupt MS.
We must leave them behind, while We
press on to the things that are before.
Then God has so ordered, too, that in
pressing on in duty we shall find the
truest. richest comfort for ourselves.
Sitting down to brood over cur sorrows,
the darkness deepens about Us and creeps
into our heart. and our strength changes
to weakness. But, if we turn away
from the gloom and take up the tasks
and duties TO which God calls us, the
light will come again, and we shall
grow stronger.
When all our hopes are gone
It's well our hands must still keep toiling ON
For others' sake.
For strength TO bear is found in duty DONE
And he a. blest indeed who learns 10 moke
The Joy Of others cure his own heartache.

A prophecies oonfoundsd.

One Of the most diverting tales told
in connection with the art of anagram
making relates to certain Dame Eleap,
or Davies, wife of Sir Joshua Davies,
says q writer in Lippincott's Magazine,
She lived in the time of Charles / and
was q constant croaker and foreteller of
evil. At length she made herself so OBJ.
poxious to the government that she was
cited to appear before the court of high
commission. She fancied that she was
gifted with prophetic powers because
the letters of Eleanor Davies formed the
anagram Reveal, 0 Daniel. F" This was
not good anagram, as it used the ''l''
twice and did not employ the ''s'' at all.
She resisted all the efforts Of the
bishops to bring her to reason, but was
at last entirely defeated by q witty
dean, who hoisted her with her own
petard by making another anagram, not
so complimentary to her prophetic in
sight, dame Eleanor Davies-never
90 mad ladiel" This caused her to
doubt the reality of her own inspiration,
and so utterly disconnected her that no
more was heard of her.
