AND GRANT WHITFIELD ON.
He Felt Confident That the Report Would
Prove Untrue.

1t is the opinion of a veteran war CORE
spondent that good military commander
never loses his head and has very clear
idea of how a battle should go because of
the way i'm which it is being fought in ac-
cordance with rrearranged plans. He re-
lates numerous instances in support of his
theory, and among them is this one
AT the close of the first days battle in
the Wilderness Grant was sitting at his
headquarters surrounded by his staff and
several distinguished visitors. Suddenly
there was yell from the Sixth corps on
the right, rapidly fired volleys We're heard,
and teams We're seen hurrying to the rear
An excited officer rode up and announced
that the right flank had been turned, that
the enemy had massed their whole force
to crush Sedgwick and that Shalers bri-
gadc had been captured. Grant, who sat
with his back to tree whiting, never
changed countenance nor dropped "A stroke
with his keen edged knife.
" Shall l order "A division of the Ninth
corps to support the SIXTH asked Meade.
" If you think best, was Grants reply

minutes Grant turned to Congressman
Washburne, who was his guest, and said.

noon Hancock has been hammering away.
Lee simply hasn't had time nor oppor
tunity to mass his forces in front of Sedg
wick. We shall hear a different report.
"Inside of half an hour an officer re-
ported that the enemy had been rcpulsed
on the right instead of having turned the
flank, as at first reported. In all that time
Grant had not changed his position or
ceased to white. But he was keeping up
the thinking of IA brainy man who knows
his business He had simply reasoned I'M

Kaiser WilheIm's Aim In Life.

Poultney Bigelow contributes to The
Century an article on Ten Years of
Kaiser Wilhelm" Mr.. Bigelow says:
l have known few men so free from brag
or hypocrisy as was this German prince
when he assembled the imperial throne.
On the Christmas Immediately preceding
the death of his noble father he wrote a
letter to friend 5000 miles away. l
have no right to make this letter public,
but shall be forgiven for this much: The
writer dwelt earnestly upon the year that
was closing, and particularly referred to
the problems of the future, little dreaming
that he was the one who would be called
upon to assist in their solution. In this
letter he confessed that the ambition of
his life was to improve the condition of the
working people, to reconcile the rasping
conflict between those who have and those
who have not, and, above all, to make the
Christian religion real thing. He went
on jokingly to lament that some of our
American millionaires did not see fit to
leave him legacies for this purpose, for he
was, he said, always hampered for want
of necessary funds.

Supreme Court.

In Supreme Court on W edn esday the hear
ing in the case of Charles P. Tarbell, pro-
poDent Of John Walton's will, against
Sarah e. Walton, was completed. The
Chittenden county case of Willard Fuller's
estate against r. 8. Fuller, apt, and the
Chittenden county case OF court OF insolv-
ency, district of Chittenden, against M. III.
Alexander, were also heard.
The Supreme Court, while the Legislative
halls are resoundlng with rings from the
voices Of the lawmakers, keep grinding
away while the latter effect laws to help fill
the hopper. 1t seems rather amusing when
one thinks OF it,-part Of the brains of the
State making laws, the party that elects
them to make the laws break the laws
and smile and the other part OF the
family sit in the same building trying
to pick the laws to pieces or have them set
aside. The Smith. Cosgrove chief OF police
case rom Burlington has been argued again
and it ia probable that the bench will give
some sort OF decision on it before many
days.
Another Chittenden county case was
taken up Thursday, that of Laura Lavigne
vs.. Patrick Lee. Each side has three dis
tinguished lawyers and are looking for
more. 1t looks from the road as II the law
might be thoroughly handled in this case.

that such q measure is utterly inimical to
the best interests OF our State, and direct
menace to our homes and every principle
for which the Womans Home Missionary
Society stands, and whereas, the so called

preston of opinion on the part Of one half

do call upon that honorable body, the Legis-

A GERMAN BEER DUEL.
Etiquette by Which the Honor of schulxs

and Muller Was Satisfied.
The etiquette and procedure in the
bloodless German beer duel are described
in a recent number of the Berlin Borsen-
courier A fine song poured forth from
strong lungs drives about violently the
clouds of tobacco smoke lowering over the
tables, but it's harmonies cannot prevent
discotds among the guests. Two of these
bring long argument to q sudden end
by the loud utterance of the words;
"Berjunge."

A long silence follows. The appointed
referee arises The barmad or the waiter
brings in two full beer mugs, and the cry
resounds through the room
"Silentium, for beer contest between
the beer honorable fellows Schulze and
Muller"
The referee takes up the weapons
brought in and by slipping carefully sees
that the columns of beer are at the same
level in each mug. He then announces:
"The weapons are good and equal. ST.

The cOmbatants seize the mugs. The

jocts his appeal, condemns him to pay for

Suddenly the trap overturned, with the

In the woods going ahead steadily when
I realized I'd missed the trail With
cry of Lost i I bnoke into a run heed
less or ignorant of the direction l was

The first impulse of man lost in the
woods is to run. The only safe thing Is
to sit right down and reason out the
position.
Sometimes business man gets up at the
usual hour, breakfasts, kisses his wife and
starts for the Office. He has for some
time seen signs that he was off the trail
OF health. To-day the signs multiply.
His brain is dull and dizzy, his heart
does not beat right, his breathing is diff
fcult, his limbs feel tremulous. He Is
scared. He realizes that he's far away
from the trail of health and suddenly
like panther from a tree, the thought
leaps on him, I" You are lost man -
The first impulse is to run for help,
though the way is honey-combed with
pitfalls of quackery. But the rational
man faces the facts, sits down and
thinks over the position and its proba-
bilities.
That is the man we want to talk to-
