ANECDOTES OF GEN. SHERMAN.
His Kindness of Heart to General
Bragg.
lHew york Tribune9

f1Newy York Tribune9
Major Janes IA. Trezevant Of Hous-
ton Tex who was in this city on bust
ness last week, told two stories Of Gen
eral sherman that struck many per-
sons at the Fifth Avenue hotel as being
entirely new.
I'm the battle of Shiloh, said the
major my brother. John Timothy Ire
zevant, now living in Dallas, Tex, was
shot through the knee and windpipa.
He was taken 70 the home Of my sis
ter. Mrs. Richard H. Parham, at a little
place called Pocahontas. between Mem
phis and Corinth. Ny brother John
was a Confederate soldier, as were his
brothers. by my brother-in-law, Mr..
Parham. was a stanch Union man. My
sister thought "A great deal of John.
however, and after he was. so badly
wounded insisted on his being brought
TO her home. General Sherman's army
was in the neighbOThOOd, and one day
my brOther-in-law invited the general
and his staff to dinner. General Sher-
man had been in the house only short
time before he said, BY the way,
who is the sick MANI
A live rebel said my sister.
After dinner, just as General Sher-
man was ready 10 leave the house, he
stepped to the bedroom door, and look
ing at the wounded Confederate, said.
Young man, you possibly may be
president of the United States some
day and then turning his head and
looking out of the door he added
grimiy, or be hanged.
Years afteTward my brother was in
Washington and called on General
sherman and told him who ne was.
General sherman was delighted. he
introduced my brother to his friends
and made him tell the story over and
over again"
Continuing. Major TTezevant said:
General Sherman and General Brax-
ton Bragg cordially hated each other
during the war and for some time aft
erWard. They were classmates at West
Point. and their two armies clashed on
bloody battlefields more than once. An
other classmate was Samuel Bel
Maxey. United States senator from
Texas following the war. After APP
pomattoN Bragg was poor. and finally
drifted 20 Texas. where he became chief
engineer of the Gudf. Colorado & Santa
Fe railroad, with poor pay and plenty
of hard work. The Office of the com
pany WAS at Galveston. where General
Bragg made his Headquarters Sen
ator Maxey knew that Generals Sher-
man and Bre~Ss had cordially detested
each other during ,He war. One day in
Washington Soma 1or Maxey and Cen
eral sherman got to talking over old
times, when suddenly General Sherman
said:
BY the way. sam, what is Braxton
doing?
Senator Maxey told him about his
former classmate. Sherman looked
thoughtful for a minute, then he said
Sam, when you go home to Texas
tomorrow you go and see Braxt0n. ana
tell him that if he'll take the place
VIII have him appointed Inspector gen
eral of the army in the southwest
BraXton is a good disciplinarian. sTG
he viii fit that job ali right
The pathetic part of il all vas,
added Major Trezevant. that General
Bragg never knew of the magnanimity
of his former Classmate, as he died IF
appopiexy a day or two after General
sherman had his conversation with
Senator Maxev."

Ml5S00RI RIVER IS ICE.
Big Muddy is Frozen Almost to the
Bottom.

Sioux City, Ia, March 19.-The fOrma-
ton Of a huge ice gorge in the Missouri
river imperils thousands of dollars
worth of property in this vicinity. Ear
ly on Sunday morning the river sud-
denly ceased running till the water was
but two feet deep at Chamberlain, s.
D., and so sudden was the fall that a
ferry boat was stranded in midstream.
The great river is still running as no
more than a creek. COuriers sent up
the river to find the trouble report a
great ice gorge had formed at Little
Bend, sixty miles above Chamberlain,
s. D.
For sixty hours the water has been
piling up behind this obstruction, and
there is now enough water collected to
sweep the Missouri valley in a flood
that viii cause disastrous loss. In all
the records Of the government engi-
neer's Office here nothing like this has
occurred. In the great flood Of 1882
counties were flooded by an ice gorge
but enough water escaped the dam to
make a soOd-sized river.
Between Chamberlain and Little
Bend there are enough tributary creeks
TO supply all the water now running
IL this city, $50 miles from the gorge
by the river. the water has fallen three
feet within twenty-fOur hours.

FACTS ABOUT MEXICO
Noble Warrum Gives interesting
Data About the Industries
Of Southern Republic.

To the Salt Lake Herald.
Since my return from Mexico l have
received so many letters of inquiry
that I despair of answering them I'M
less You give me space in your valu
able journal which. I believe, reaches
most Of the people of this intermOUn-
tain region. Nearly every inquirer has
mentioned having seen the interview
published some time ago in these col
umns.
Many are anxious to know about the
climate. some want TO hear about live
stock others about every kind Of
product that a tropical climate VIII
grow, and a few have asked what op-
portunity a laboring man without cap
ital can find in that country.
I would not advise q werkingman to
so there without money. He can't
compete with men of the tropics. who
are willing to work for p cents a day.
This is the reason the country mas not
been taken up long ago. The fOrerun-
ner Of development is always the poor
man who starts out ahead of the rail
road to work and struggle along until
capital comes riding in behind a loco
motive. The man with the AK never
invaded Mexico, for 1t was already
peOpled by race which titled its fields
and wove its cloth before Columbus
discovered America. A people who are
strong. hardy and willing to work un-
der intelligent supervision, but who, If
left to themselves, produce only the
necessities of the hour. In a land where
oranges, bananas, cocoanuts and
dozen fruits and nuts peculiar to the
tropics Of Mexico grow wild in every
thicket: where yuccas, sweet potatoes,
tomatoes. beans and maize thrive with
out cultivation; where planting or
reaping may be done in every month
Of the twelve; where cold or drouth
never consumes the fruits of labor &C
cumulated during the rest of the year;
in such a land il requires the energy
and ayaTice Of the AnglO-SaxOn to
achieve the best results. Under such
direction the native is able to accom-
plish much and at a small expense to
his employer.

ters, that the following questions are
asked.
First-What is the price of land in

larger trees are not removed. Many
of the larger trees and all of the under
growth is cleared out for coffee. and
the expense is about $3.50 TO SO per
acre The ground must be absolutely

For this reasOn-tnat native labor is
plentiful, cheap and efficient in trOp-
zeal agTicUlture-and the additional
reason that all the elements Of a con-
servatory-heat, moisture and rich
soil-are found outdoors, makes it a
region of magnificent possibilities.
To be sure, in some sections OppOr-
tunities are presented to cOlOnists to
take small tracts and pay for them
year by year. but it is as field for
investment that tropical Mexico is par

one should be a capitalist to gain the
advantages presented. Small investors

equal sum could do
7 believe that a man can take 100
acres. plant it in rubber with 200 trees
to the acre. and have an independent
income after eight years for his old
age and for those who survive him.
But il is better for fifty or a hundred
men to join IN such a project, whether
they hold and plant in common or sep
arately, keeping the tract under single
supervision. AID now I shall attempt
to explain some matters upon which
information is sought and answer some
of the direct questions asked
Two kinds of rubber trees are found
in Mexico the ''SiphOnia Elastica,
which grows on low swamp lands un-
der the same conditions in which it
fiourishes along the Amazon and ORR
noco rivers Of South America. and the
'CastillOa Elastica." which is found in
all the forests Of Mexico under an
elevation of 1000 feet from sea level.

twelve years yielding about five
pounds Of rubber per annum, while the
other natures at from six to eight
years, yielding from two to I'VE pounds
of rubber from that time forth. No
white man can live where Para rubber
does best but anyone can live and
enjoy health where the Castilloa
thrives.
Rubber trees are of rapid growth,
hardy and easily kept as they have
but one enemy-the native with his
machete-but he troubles only the wild
trees, which he feels have been handed
down to him by his ancestors The
profits from these trees are large, over
a dollar, gold. each, and the expense
is very small in comparison.
The sap is milky and thin when first
extracted, but rapidly congeals in the
air. If allowed to run into round
mould it forms as fine rubber ball as
can be purchased in any store.
Senior Don Matias Romero, late min
lister from Mexico at Washington, said:
Anyone in a position enabling him to
secure an interest in an honestly man
aged rubber plantation should avail
himself of the opportunity at once,
with the full conviction that it is the
safest and most lucrative industry in
which he can engage"
