SHERIDAN SHED HIS COAT.
Was Going to Convince n Private of
His Identity, Butwns Spared
the Trouble.

"Gen. Sheridan" said the captain,
according to the Chicago Inter Ocean,
"once upon a time threw off his coat
to trounce me. This was in January,
1864, after Longstreet's retreat from
Knoxville, and we were operating in
the vicinity of Strawberry Plains, and
along the French Broad river. Long
street was supposed to be not far
away, and strict. watch was kept on
the crossings. Our pickets were across
the river, with reserves on our own
side, and boats were held on both sides
for emergencies.
sheridan was out reconnoitering,
attended by single staff officer, and
both wore the ordinary soldier over
coats, without any marks of rank.
Sheridan, it appeared later, did not
care to have it known that he was re-
connoitering on his own hook, and
wanted to cross the river incog., as it
were. He sent his aid down to the
river, supposing that he could secure
a boat without difficulty. But the Off
Ger could find none because we had
them all at our posts. When he came
to us he demanded our boat, but told
him bluntly that he could not have it,
and explained that orders were very
strict against anyone crossing the
river.
"He climbed up the bank, and re-
ported to Sheridan that he had found
a boat, but the young man in charge
would not let him have it. Thereupon
Sheridan came down himself, and de-
manded the boat. / told him he
couldn't have ii, unless Sheridan so or
dered. He replied testify: HI. man,
I am Gen. Sheridan, and am going to
take the boat / retorted: i don't
know whether you are Sheridan or
not, but you can't have the boat
"This put him in rage, and, tearing
open his overcoat, and pulling at the
sleeves to get it off, he swore he would
lick me if he died the next minute.
had never seen Sheridan on foot, and
not often on horseback, and it did not
seem possible that this short man in
an ill-fitting overcoat could be n gen.
eral But, as the overcoat came off, |
saw his shoulder straps, and recog-
nized the figure, and, saluting, said:
Never mind the licking, general, you
can have the boat
SIN minute Sheridan was every
inch a general, and explained that it
was desirable that nothing be said
about his presence on the other side
! of the river. as he had in mind very
important project. He went across
the river, looked the ground over for
himself, and in a few days undertook
the construction of bridge made en-
tirely of army wagons. This was in
the winter, and his idea was that if a
bridge could be constructed the
Fourth corps could be moved to the

A Colorado Admirer OF Roosevelt
Sends Savage Present TO tho White
House.
"A genuine mountain lion has just
reached the White House as tcsti-
monial to the presidents hunting
prowess. 1t is the gift of friend ut
Hayden, Col, and an exception will
be made In this case in that the beast
will be kept at the White House in
stead of being sent to the geological
park, as is the usual custom. Coons,
wild cats, bears, lions, tigers, alli-
gators and other attractive pets have
all been consigned to the zoo, while
things like cats and dogs are usually
allowed to stray or are given into
the tender keeping of the White
House attendants. Chickens fare
differently, because Kermit Roosevelt
happens to be n violent fowl fancier.
White House when the rumor spread
about that the box lifted from the
express wagon contained mountain
lion, and great respect was shown the
new arrival. Later, however, when
it was understood that the lion is n
pretty example of the taxidermist's
art, new courage was taken and the
box was carried to the basement of
the white House. The animal is
beautifully mounted, and will find a
place either in the upper hall of the
private part of the house or in the
library.

One afternoon in 1862 a group OF citi-
zens sat in front of the village grocery
discussing the war news, which came
by newspaper from the north anl by
grapevine" from the south. Among
them were two young men, to be
known herein as Joe and Bill. Next day
the circle was smaller, for Bill was abb
sent.
"Joe, where's Bill?" companion
asked.
"Gone."
(which army?"
"Northern; went this morning. Bill
and couldn't Jest see things alike" he
continued. "Reckon I'll go south to-
night" And that night the group lost
another member. These young men
had been sheltered by the same roof
caressed by the same loving hands, had
knelt beside the same mother-they
were brothers.--John Uri Lloyd, in

II Is very seldom that we pay much at
tention to reports circulated in reference
TO the virtue OF patent medicine, as we
have always considered that reports OF tins
nature were more OF less fictitious and got:
ten up for the purpose of creating demand
from the public. But the publication IN
various papers of the wonderful results OBJ
tained from using that famous remedy st.
Jacobs Oil, and from the fact that 1t IS a
remedy for outward application only, led
us to make trials OF it in our own family.
One, a case OF lumbago of long standing
which had previously resisted every form
OF treatment, was permanently cured by a
few applications OF the Oil. Another was a
sprained ankle, with severe pain. This
was instantly relieved and permanently
cured in few days by the use OF St. Jacobs
Oil, while for severe toothache and neuralgia
it acted almost like magic, so quickly did the
pain depart after the Oilwas applied. Our
own experience in using the Oil, as above
indicated, was SO highly satisfactory that
We determined in the interest of the gen
eral public TO make thorough local inves-
tigation among dealers and Others who have
sold and used St. Jacobs Oil. Recognizing
Messrs. Taylor and Co. as headquarters for
all proprietary medicines, we called at their
Briggate Store, and on making known the
object OF our visit to the general Manager,
he stated that their three stores in Iced:
were selling more than a thousand bottles
of st. Jacobs Oil every week, and the trade
was constantly ihcreasing-that it was the
most popular remedy sold and was highly
spoken of by everyone who used it. The
Manager said he had heard hundreds oi
people say they had been permanently cured
of rheumatism, neuralgia, sciatica, and sim
liar complaints by the use of this famous Oil

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, June 25.-The dealings in
stocks fell to near the lower level of
activity of the year again to-day. The
movement Of prices was narrow and
irregular. For the principal active
stocks there was good support and the
undertone of the market was rather
firm but there was no disposition to
buy in view of the uncertainties hang
ing over the market.
There was a fairly general inward
movement in the early dealings which
probably came from the bear traders
who sold short last evening on the APP
prehension that King Edwards illness
might terminate fatally over night
There was buying here for London ac-
count, prompted by the same tech
nical cause, which served to bring to
a halt the advance in sterling ex-
change. The local money market was
also distinctly firmer in tone and en-
couraged bankers to sell some sterling
loan bills. Notwithstanding a further
recession in the price of sterling ex-
change at Paris there was no engage
ment of gold for EXPORT. There was
nothing in the news, from London as
it reached Wall street to account for
any strength in the stock market as
the general fear was that the illness
of the King of England would termi-
feet of yesterdays sudden announce
ment was somewhat dissipated. New
ertheless there is something to be APP
pretended from the financial losses in
volved in the abortiye preparations for
the Coronation r.
Another consideration is- that there
has been a considerable speculation
upon the hope of g revival to be in
duced by the South African peace. The
weaker specula tors have been forced
out since the declaration of peace, but
there is an extensive class of stronger
holders which has maintained the hope
that the active revival was merely
postponed until after the Kings coro-
nation. This speeulatio has involved
not only London, but the continental
financial centers. If the misfortune
of the King of England serves to OBJ
struct the influence of the South Az
rican settlement upon the financial af-
fairs the effect will be reflected in the
stock market. There was nothing in
the news of the day to account for
the rise in prices of stocks. The crop
news was rather neutral. Traders who
bought Reading protested some con-
fidence that the strike was breaking
up and they had some news of further
returns to work by strikers, but there
was nothing like a general demand for
the coalers. A late advance in ST.
Paul made the closing steady, but dull
