Gen. Lew WALLACE.
Attacks Grant in His Address at
Shiloh.

Gen. Lew Wallace of Indiana

battlefield, said;
Did you ever hear of an army
fighting a battle without commar
derY That was the case of the
army of the Tennessee on the first
day here. The FIVE divisions had
each its chief, but none was in gen,
eral command. Gen. Grant was
in command of the army, but he
had his headquarters at Savannah
ten miles away, and when he arriv.
ed the battle was beyond his con-
troll. The Confederate army left
Corinth Thursday afternoon and
moved in the Second corps to at
tack Grant at Shiloh.
How was it possible to move
the three great army corps into as
many lines of battle, each behind
the other, within two miles Of
Shiloh church, without making
their presence known
Were there any union pickets

1t would seem not. At > o'clock
Sunday morning neither General
Grant at Savannah, nor one Of his
division commanders on the field,
knew Of the danger of the other or
suspected it. No precaution was
taken against surprise, nor was pre-
paration of any kind taken for bat
tie. Never did an army receive an
attack under 80 many serious dis
advantages. Nelson did not save
the Army of Tennessee by cross.

LITTLE HELPS.

For patching rents or wore pla-
ces with the ewing machine, cut
out a patch large enough to more
than cover the place in need Of
repairs. Basic it under the place
so that the treads will run with the
thread of the thing to be patched.
Stitch a row all around the patch
an inch from the edge; next turn
under the raw edge and stitch it
down; reverse the work and cut
the thin or torn piece out, leaving
three fourths inch margin next
to the first row of stitching; cut
half through the corners, turn un-
der the edge and stitch down.
A table is set with a view to
convenience aswell as elegance. At
a simple family table there are
only two forks, two knives and a
spoon. A knife is used for cutting
things that are not manageable by
fork, and for no other purpose.
Pies, cake, and some kinds of fish
entrees with sauce, etc, require
the fork only. A good rule is to
avoid the use of the knife as much
as possible.
To clean a macintosh spr cad
it out on a table and scrub it all
over with a stiff brush, using cold
soft water and yellow Isosp; when
all dirt is off. dip the macintosh
through several lots of clean wa
ter; do not wiring, but shake we'll

air if possible, and do not allow
it to freeze while wet. If the wea-
Their is too c)ld let ii hang in a
cool room, but on no account put
it near the fire. Hot water must
never be used, and If there are any
bad stains or grease marks that
will not yield to the soap alone,
rub little turpentine on them. --

I The majority report of the Ways
and Means Committee of the Ar.
kansas House of Representatives
sustains certain charges against
Gov. Davis, the most important
being the misuse of contingent
funds. If the report is accepted
by the Legislature impeachment
proceedings may follow,
Indiana miners will send a re-
preventative to the Evansville dis
trict to ask the people not to use
coal from Hopkins county, KY
which is mined by nonunion labor.
The Indiana operators contend
that the unions should organize

1t frequently happens that when you pass
a new skyscraper that is going up you see
a number of workingmen astride an iron

are men driving rivets, and at the same
time, balancing themselves on a footing

CabeZon.
From the Newark News.


A curious and interesting bit of history is
drawing to a close out in California in the
application of an aged Indian to the super
visors of San Bernardino county for relief
His name is Cabezon. He is credited with
having reached the extreme age of one hun
dred and five years. He is in circumstances
of extreme restitution. He is almost total
ly blind, and SO crippled with rheumatism
as to be almost totally incapable OF doing
the work which he has been glad to do for
so many years. In word he is helpless
and old. There is not circumstance in the
case that does not appeal forcefully to en-
lightened charity. 1t is not strange, there
fore, that the leading citizens of the county
have cordially Endorsed his petition.
There was time when Cabezon was per-
haps the most powerful Indian warrior in
that far western territory. He commanded
a thousand braves and enforced his will
wherever he chose. 1t was In early days,
of course, the days in which the white ad-
venturer was just getting a precarious foot
hold in California. 1t appears that his
friendship to the invaders was unwavering.
He stood between the early settlers and the
murderous plots Matched by Mexicans and
Indians. His power preserved many a little
band from murder by the Mormons in the
days when MormoniSm was at its highest
and worst in that territory. 4s-...--- --,..---

Origin Of the Word Grog.
From the New York Times.


Capt. Charles Barr of the victorious yacht
Reliance recently told the curious story
of the origin of the word ''grog."
I'm the olden time" said Capt. Barr. the
sailors in the royal navy of Great Britain
got their daily allowance of rum or brandy
neat-they got 1t. that is to say, undiluted.
and they drank it undiluted. coughing and
gasping as they downed the fiery stuff
But when Admiral Vernon took COM
mand he changed all that. He issued an
order to the effect that every ship in the
navy must serve out the seaman's daily
drink In a weakened condition-one-third
rum and two-thirds water. think IT was
and thereafter there was no more coughing
and gasping, but there was. you can bet,
lot of cursing and swearing instead.
Admiral Vernon always used to wear
coat of that peculiar rough, stiff cloth
called grogram. The sailors on that ac-
count called him Old Grogram, and this
nickname in course of time they shortened
down to Old Grog.'
Next they began to call Admiral YER
mons weak drink after him: they called IL
old grog, and finally. dropping the DID,
they just called 1t 'grog.' CONTEMPORARY.

so. now, when you hear sailors talking
about their grog. you'll know that they are
referring-perhapS unconsciously-to the
old British sea dog. Admiral Vernon.

Cattle Stealing.
From Leslie's Monthly.

One source Of immense trouble to. the
cattlemen has been the calf thief Many a
large outfit has gone out of business on
account of the ''rustler." Where cow herd
ers have to ride the range for fifty or
seventy-five miles they are likely to be fore
stalled in branding calf by some vigilant
rustler whose little mountain ranch is near
the usual grazing place of bunch of cattle
Or very possibly the puncher for the big &C
ranch has caught and branded the calf
with its proper mark; and when many
months later he rides on yearling branded
BOB he has no means of knowing that the
owner of the latter brand has deity touched
UP the &c with a running iron by the ar
tistlc addition of two strokes and an added
letter. 1t may be stated parenthetically
IN passing that more than one large "out-
Mt of today got its start entirely from
'rustled' cattle. In the more arid south
west rustling is not so common, because
most of the water is pumped, and cattle
get in the habit of coming home often to
drink and can be watched more closely:
but even there it is factor of no slight

Philosophy Of the Chase.
From the Sporting News.

From the sporting news.
The difference of opinion on the subject
of the chase has arisen entirely from the
different lights in which It has been viewed
the one exhibiting its rational use. the
other it's abuse. The sportsman of by-gone
days. and he OF the present time, differ
strangely. The former was content IL his
game was plentiful and his pursuit Of It
successful. Wholly absorbed in the work
of humiliation. he little cared whether he
left even enough to replenish the waste he
had made. 1t is not so with the sportsman
on whom q modern sporting education has
shed its lights, and set before him the de-
lights of acquaintance with natural HIS
tory: the man with the gun today. though
alive to all the pleasures of the chase, pur-
sues il with zeal yet avoids all wanton de-
struction. To the sportsman nowadays the
instructive manifestations made by the OBJ
ject of his search to elude his vigilance are
a pleasure and q lesson. Their articles in
terest him. and, living or dead, they yield
him food for contemplation.
Moreover, the modern sportsman treats
his horse and dog, the companion and as
sistant of his day afield. with fondness
not common among other persons What
good gunsman among us cannot recall tina
times innumerable, when after g f2tsu.ns
days sport, be has denied himself refrRsh-
ment and rest until he has seen bis favor
ite setter dried and bedded for the night.
or coaxed with morsel the tagging appe-
tite of the overwilling pointer. when fatigue
and strung up nerves paralyzed his digest
i've faculties.
The history of all ages has uniformly pre-
scented man as a social being although to
be so.- as has been wittily observed. IT Is
not necessary that he should be wholly
gregarious. Field sports emfneutly encour>
age the companionabIe qualities, AID even
In such of them as can be engaged In sim
gy, as shooting and fishing. It rarely hap
pens that they are not followed IN company.

among men are cemerted by days or weeks
spent afield together: the community Of
