" At 11 o'clock word came to Grant and 11eade that their headquarters escorts and wagons were delaying the advanoe of War- ren's corps, and they decided to move on to Todd's tavern in order to clear the way. The woods were still on fire along parte Of the main road, which made it almost im- • paasable, so that the party tnraed outs to the right tato a side road. '1the intention was to take the same route by which the lavalry had advanced, but it was difficult to 4011 one road from another. The night was dark, the dust vias thick, the guide who was directing the party be - tame confused, and it was uncertain whether we were going in the right direc- tion or riding into the lines of the enemy. The guide was for a time suspected of treachery, but he was innocent of such a charge and had only Met his heariage Colonel Comstock rode on in advanoe, and bearing the sound of marching oollumns not far off on our right came back -with this news, and it was decided to return to the Brock road, General Grant at first demurred when it was proposesto turn back and urged the guide to try and find some crooffroad lead- ins to the Brock road, to avoid retracing our steps. This was an instanee of his marked aversion to turning back, which amounted almost to a superstition. He often put himself to tbe greeted personal inconvenience to avoid it When he found he was not trayeling in the direction. he intended to take, be would try all sorts of crosscuts, ford streams and jump any number of fences to reach another road rather than go back and take a fresh start. If he had been in the place of the famous apprentice boy who wandered away from -London, he would never have been thrice xnayor of that city, 'for vrith him Bow Bells would have appealed to deaf ears- when they chimed out, "Turn again, Whitting- ton." The enemy who encountered him never failed to feel the-sffeot of this in- born prejudiceagainst turning back. - However, a slight retrograde movement became absolutely necessary in the preseut instance, and tbe general yielded to the force of circumstances. An orderly was stationed at the fork of the roads to indi- cate the right direction to Warren's troops when they should reach that point, and our party proceeded to Todd's tavern, reaching there soon after midnight. It was learned afterward that Anderson's (Longstreet's) corps had been marching parallel,with us, and at a distance of less than a mile, so that the apprehension felt was well founded. -General Horace Porter In Century. Screw 1:ersua Paddle Wheel Steamers. A screw worked by a high speed quad- ruple or multiple expansion engine he un- doubtedly: the best means of propulsion for a merchant steamer engaged in a deep sea trade, bot for shallow water naviga- tion a side wheeler is preftrable, for as a propelling instrument the paddle wheel is not inferior to the screw, while its notion is quicker in etopping and starting the hull, and aide 'wheelers can back on a straight course, which cannot be accom- plished by a screw steamer. Moreover, a side wheeler does not sag at the stern when under way, and this is a very important feature in its favor. The screw is more liable to be disabled by picking up a sub- merged log or by strikirsg some such ob- struction and breaking two or more blades. This is not an unusual occurrence. As regards the seaworthiness of side - wheel steamers the immunity irons dis- aster enjoyed by each lines as the 'Holy- head packets, the isle of Man steamers and the Queensboro-Flushing boats should be sufficient to prove their stanchness for channel service, but a more signal proof of their safety may be cited. The Cunard Royal Mali Stea,mship com- pany have during the last 15 or 20 years lost a number of screw steamers, accom- panied byloss of life and letters, but pre- VIOUR to that it was their proud boast that they had never lost a ship, a life or a letter for a period of 60 years, and the remark- able fact in 'connection with such marked success is that during the whole of that time their bast boats were stidewheelers- viz, the Persia and the Scotia. -J.

Stewart, illustrating his thrifty habits and firm principles, were related recently In The Cofilmorcial Bulletin: After he became a millionaire he kept his frugal habits which be had contracted In his youth, Riding down Broadway in a stage with hie custom house broker he dropped only one fare in the box, remark- ing, "I euppoie the firm pays your fare." Another peculiarity was that he allowed no employee to have matches on his per- son while in the store. One day Mr. Stew- art entered the basement in company with a gentleman to whom he was showing the building. It being rather dark be told the porter (a raw Irish lad) to go to the office and get tome matches with which to light the gas. "Matches, is it?" cried the lad, producing a handful frern his pocket. "Here's all ye want!" Mr. Stewart glanced i at the matchee, looked earnestly at the boy, then told him to go up to the count- ing room and get his pay. The lad was hoeest, diligent and faithful, but this had no weight -with Mr. Stewart as long as he disobeyed orders. The most interesting part of this story is that the discharged porter is none other than the Hon. Bourke Cookran. Proof of Ills Greatness. "Yee," said the man at the stub. "I understand that Lushkin is a great au- thor." "Indeed? You'd never think it to look at him. Why, what has he dome" "N•4,t very much." "Has he written anything good?" "Oh', yes. He sends things to the mag- azines." "I never see them printed." "No, I believe not. They usually send them back." "Has he had any books published?" "No." "Then why on earth do you call him a great author?" "Weil, you see, he is only 25, and none of the great authors had anything printed before that time. They used to get their manuscripts rejected just as happens to Lushkin. The fact that he is so treated is evidence thals he is a great author." -Chi- cago Times -Herald. Suspicions Circumstance.

With the Italian method the fencer only looks to touch his adversary, and to that efid all naeans are good. He runs, jumps and leaps upon his adversary like a tiger, he fences with his arms drawn back to his body -in fact, he fences no more, but new; his foil as he would a dagger. When he is on the defensive, he performs regular cir- cles with Ms foil and uses it as he would a cane. With the Italian method one must have a great quickness of legs, for if the fencer attacks, you with a jump and does not touch you he will at once junip baok to the end of the room to avoid your re - poster. It is what 1 call "parry with your legs." Now, if you learn to use a fon, it is to parry with that foil, not to run away in order to give you a chance to leap again. It is all right to retreat, but not too much. 1 prefer to be touched rather than to run away from an attaok. One step baok is quite sufficient. In the Frenoh method hhe teacher's aim is to give his pupil all the °legit* pout- ble in each one of hie movements. No jerky movements must be executed, for it is nec- essary that the pull should have no stiff- ness in the shoulder, while he muet imag- ine that he is holding in his lingerie a pen, not a foil. This is especially true for the feints, where the fingering plays the big- gest part in feeling your adiersary In the parade. The point of the foil must move and turn without the band moving from its regular position. Of course it takes a greatdeal of practice. The teacher 1311481 allows a pupil to enter into a contest with anybody until he knews how to make a frank attack with the arm ex nded with- out jumping or to perry witi4ut running away. If he enters into a co test without these qualities, he will naturally become a fencer of the Italian style and find that his touches are not counted according to American rules. When a pupil le entering an assault and is touched by his •adversary, he must be able to tell what kind of an attack he has made or what attack his adversary has made on him. Then he becomes a good fencer, for be uses judgment,. In the French method the 'contest is supposed to show elegance, quickness and good breed- ing between theadversaries, and not a regular rough and tumble as it does in the Italian method. -Minneapolis Times. ON A SINGLE WIRE. Kai -ages Sent by Telegraph Great Dis- tances Without Interruption, It was Sunday afternoon in Aprtl. Busi- ness was dead and the Western 'Union boys in the Little Rook office had nothing to do but to tell stories. Finally a discus. sion arose as to ho vt far a single wire cir- cuit Could be worked, and one of ithe boys suggested that they test the matter then and 'there. 1 Before Buffalo responded somebody along the great wire circuit , brolte in and stopped further progress.

"How's the weather in Ohio?" "Delightful. How is it in Arkansas?" "Hotter than----." Suddenly somebody broke in ani opened the circuit. i A moinent later communication was re- established and the Little Rock !operator repeated the sentence, "Hotter thin.-." Soxnebody again "broke." As goon as Little Rock "get the wire" the ;operator angrily clicked: "Keep out Whets break- ing The answer came, "A B." 1 "What are you breaking for, Ashtabula?" "Because I don't think you ought to use such language in the presence of zit lady." What the boys in the Little Rook office said next didn't go over the eviret all. But after that episode, every Su day aft- ernoon whenever business was dull, one Little Rook operator fought hi& way by wire to Ashtabula and bad a ehat-often Cut short by intermediate interftrence- with "st.
