Our camp fires shone bright on the mount:
That frowned on the river below, ‘ ‘
While" we stood by our guns'in‘ the morning ‘
And eagerly watched for the foe—'
When a rider came out from the dune“ ,
That hung over mountain and tr‘ee, _
And shouted, “Boys up and be ready, f
For Sherman ’will march for the idea.”
Then cheer upon cheer for bold Sherman -
Went up from each valley ’and glen, I
And the bugles re-eéhoI be .music. "
Thatcame from the li f the men,'. ' .
For we knew that the stars in our banner _
More bright in their splendor wduld be'
And that blessings fi-Om Normand fv‘v‘ould'jrcet us
When Sherman marched down to the lea,- _

Then forwhrd,_boys, ferword to battle, . ’
We march on our weariSom w'cy, '. . _,
And we stormed the wild hills ornoésca,
—God bless those who fell on inaudib-
Then Kenesaw. normed in'lts‘ '21on fl ' ' '
Frdwned down on the flag of the‘free, -
But the East and the West bore cur Standards, ,
And Sherman marched on to the sea. I
Still onward we pressed, till our banners
Swept out from Atlanta’s grim walls.
And the blood ofthe patriot dampened
The soil where the traitor flag falls ;
But we paused not to weep for the fallen,
Who slept by each river and tree;
Yet we twined them a wreath of the laurel
As Sherman marched down Ito the sea; "
O, proud was our army that morning
That stood where the pine darkly fewerp", .
When Sherman said : .“ Boys, you are weary.
But to-day fair Savannah is ours." . '
Then sang wea song for our chieftain- .
That echoed o'er river and lea, .
And the stars in our banners shone brighter

THE THREE WISHES" 7
There was once a wise emperor who made
a law, that to every stranger who came to
his court a fried fish should beserved. The
servants were directed to take notice, if,
when the stranger had eaten the fish to the
bone on one side, he turned it over- and be-
gan on theother side. If he did, he was-to
be immediately seized, and On the third day
thereafter he was to be put to death. But,
by a great stretch of imperial clemency, the
culprit was permitted to utter one wish each
day, which the Emperor pledged himself to
grant, provided it was not to spare his life.
Many had already perished in consquence
ofthis edict when, one day, a Count and
his young son presented themselves at court.
The fish was served as usual, and when the,
Count had removed all the fish ' from one
side, he turned it over, and was about .'to
commence on the other, when he was sud-
denly seized and thrown into prison,and was
Emperor to allow him to die-in the room of.
his father; a favor which the monarch was
pleased to accord him. The Count was ac-
cordingly' released from prison, and his son
thrown ,into his cell in his stead. As seen
as this had been done, the young man said
to his goalers—“ You know I have the right
to make three demands befcre I die : go and
tell the Emperor to send me his daughter,
and a priest to marry us.” This first de-
mand was not much to the Emperor's taste,
nevertheless be felt bound to keep his word,
and he therefore complied with the request,
to which the Princess had no kind of objec-
tion. This occurred in. the times when
Kings kept their treasures in a cave, or in a
tower set apart forthc I‘ purpose, like the
Emperor of Morocco in these days; and on'
the second day of I his imprisonment the
young man demanded the King's treasures.

word is sacred, aodhanng made the prom-

rose early on the third morning and went
with fear in his heart, to the prison to hear
‘what the third wish was to be.
“ Now,” said he to his prisoner, “tell me
.what your third denand is, that it may be
granted at once, and you may be hung out
of hand, for I am tired of your demands.”
" Sire," answered the prisoner, “ I have
but one more favor to request of your majo
esty, which, when you have granted, I shall
die content. It is merely that yen will
cause the eyes ofthose who saw my father
turn the fish over to beput out.”
“ Very good,” replied the Emperor, “your
demand is but natural, and spfiigs from a
good heart. Let the chamberlainbe seized,"
he continued, taming to his guards. ' ‘ '
“ I, sire l” cried the chamberlain ; “ I did
not see anything—it was the steward.”
But the steward protested with tears in
his eyes, that he had not witnessed anything
of what had been reported, and said it was
the butler. The butler declared that be had
seen nothing of the matter, and that it must
have been one of the valets. But they pro-
tested that they were utterly ignorant of
what had been charged against the Count;
in short, it turned out that nobody could be
found who had seen the Count commit the
offense, upon which the Princess said:

GENERAL SHERMAN.
When a man becomes famous, .Ithere‘ , is a
disposition on the part of the human race in
general to look after his ancestors. So we
find in our- exchanges a good deal hasbeen
,
man sprung, and the fact that the German
papers have claimed him as a native of Am-
sterdam (iwe believe), illustrates the inaccu-
racy of thestatements printed. We sappose
it to be of little importance to Gen Sherman,
or any one» else, who his ancestors were,
but if itis worth while_t0 say anything about
them, itis proper to be accurate, and it is
only fair-that the errors already afloat should
be corrected. The following statement is
authentic.
The local records of Connecticut, which
are the best in the world, furnish ample and
accurate material. A book of some local
note—Cothren’s- History of Ancient Wood
bury—gives the complete genealogy of the
Sherman family, from the arrival in 1635 of
Samuel. Sherman, the common ancestor in.
Stratford,Conn. He was a man of some no-
tice in his time'—.-a Puritan of the Cromwell
school, and one of the original proprietors
of Woodbury,Conn., where the family set-
tled. His descendant, Daniel. Sherman, was
cotemporaneous-with Roger Sherman, but
the relation betweenlthem was several de-
grees removed.1 Daniel Sherman was evi.
dentlya man .of considerable ability and
great influence:' He was a, member of the
committee of safety in Connecticut during
the entire Revolution, and served for sixty-
Ifive consecutive sessions of thirty-two and
a half years as the represcntative of his na-
tive town in the General Assembly of Con-
necticut. A good many anecdotes are told
'of him, which prove him to have been fulll
of humor as well as of sense. He died short-
ly after the adoption of the Constitution.—
His son Taylor Sherman, was Gen. Sher-
man’s grandfather. Taylor was a lawyer in
Norwalk, Conn, and became Judge. He
- .was One of the commissioners sent by the
State of Connecticut to designate the “ fire
lands” in Ohio, now comprising the coun-
ties of Huron and Erie. These lands were
ceded by Connecticut to the sufferers by the
fire of the British and tories of the war of
the Revolution, and were afterwards subdi-
vided among the “ sufferers.” This duty
with the ownership of some of those lands,
probably directed the attention of the oldest
son of Taylor Sherman—Charles R. Sher-
man—to'Ohio. In 1810, whenjust of age,
he emigrated to Ohio, starting for Cincin-
nati, but was detained by the high waters of
the Hockhoeking, at the town of Lancaster,
then a mere hamlet. He settled in Lancas-
ter as a lawyer, soon attained eminence, and
became Judge of the Supreme Court of Ohio
in 1823. He died in 1829, while on the
bench, at Lebanon, Ohio. By the concur-
ring testimony of all the old lawyers of Ohio
he had rare abilities as an advocate, and
was a genial,liberal and very popular citizen.
He left six sons, of whom five are now IlV-
ing. Gen. Sherman was born in 1820;
Chas. T., who has been published as his un-
cle, is. his eldest brother. Senator Sherman
is three years the General’s junior.

W Riggs, of the Meriden Recorder, is
hard on the Doctors; Here is his last:
THE MYSTERY Enumera—We noted a
week or two since that not a death had oc-
curred in town for a period of six or eight
days ! The mystery has at last been solved.
It Ippears that in consequence of a slight
misunderstanding between a very worthy
physician and our no less worthy undertaker
that the former a. short time since threatened
' the latter that he’d “ ruin his coffin husi-.
ness”! The sequel proved that for quite an
interval the dread “King of Terrors” had
forgotten Meriden; entirely! Children had
the whoopingecough- and the measles, and
recovered as from a slight tooth-ache; moth-
ers added to their little family of cherubs,
and the newoom'ers would “get along finely,”
in spite of all the nostrums administered by
god-mothers and nurses, till the hinges on
our cemetery gates were actually getting
rusty forwant of use. In vain did the under-
taker scour up and polish his hearse, for no
temptation was strong enough toinduce any
living body to give up the ghost and try it.
Matters were last coming to a “crisis," as
Mr. Micawber would say, when, early one
Monday morning, as the doctor was seated
in his oflice, glancing over the columns of
the Hartford Post, what should darken his
door but the stately form of Mr. 8., the un-
"dertaker, who, blandly uncovering his head,
step d forward and exclaimed;

“ Well enough—and business is good
enough”—-replied the doctor. How is it
with on ?
“ ell, the fact is,” replied 8., the cofiin
trade has been rot-titer dull, for a week or
so past. I say Doctor, hadn't we better rub
out the old score, and begin anew ‘2"
The doctor assented to the proposition,
and the two friends were soon in each oth-
er's arms. All differences were speedily and
satisfactorally adjusted, and the ‘: rofession,
ale,” on parting, swore eternal iendship-
and pledged henceforward in their respec-
tive business calling to walk-hand-in-hand.”

The Sorghum Convention.
We were very much gratified yesterday to
note the almost enthusiastic interest which
has sprung up among the agriculturists of
this and neighboring counties on the subject
of planting and cultivating sorghum and
manufacturing its juice. Yesterday mom-
ing at an early hour Tyler’s Hall was crow-
ded with the best intelligence of the agri-
cultural people of the State; who brought to
the meeting a sanguine condition of mind,
which could not fail to have co me from an
entire belief in the success of sorghum culti-
vation, with regard to its being a great in-
dustry. '
The meeting was called to order 'by Dr.
C. B. Whittlessy, the President of the Coun-
ty Agricultural Society, and Charles P. Au-
gur was chosen Secretary, being the Secre-
tary of the Counly Society.
\ The President made a few remarks appro-
priate to the occasion and introduced a num-
ber of questions for the consideration of the
Convention. We are obliged to condense
from our full notes of the proceedings and
will give the questions in their order, with
our own deductions drawn from the able
discussions which ensued. Should there be
room for any statements made by different
gentlemen, we shall be glad to print them.
QUESTION 1st. What soil is best adapted
for its growth? -
ANS. Sand , Connecticut soil is best, if
not too rich. Does not require much ma-
nure.
Q. 2d. Time of planting and whether in
bills or drills ?
ANS. Plant early and much wider apart
than has yet been practiced, as a general
thing.
Q. 3d. Shall seeds be planted soaked or
9
r .
yANS. Plant dry. There are too many
weather risks if planted in a sprouting con-
dition.
Q. 4th. What fertilizer is best?
ANS. Stimulating manures.
acre, ordinarily ?
ANS. Just about the same as-the expense
of cultivating broom corn. I
Q. 6th. What is the proper time for cut-
tin ? '
ENS. When the seed is in the milk.
Q. 7th. Method and time of harvesing ?
ANS, Strip and bind and cut when in the
milk
as harvested?
ANS. There Is little difference if it be well
taken care of.
Q. 9'h. What is the comparative quality
of syrup when made from unripe cane and
that which has been frozen ?
ANS. Cut before it is ripe and keep it
properly a short time before sending to Inill.
Better syrup if made from unripe than from
frozen or frosted cane. '
Q. 10th. Ilow do vertical and horizontal
mills compare ? \
ANS. Vertical mills have special advanta-
ges and the horizontal mills are now but lit-
tle used. ' '
Q. 11th. What are the merits of the dif-
ferent evaporators in use, comparatively?
ANS? Cook‘s Evaporator is,on the whole,
the best. .
Q. 12th. Are chemicals necessary in the
manufacture of sorghum?
ANS. Chemicals are of very little, if of any
use. Lime will sometimes correct the sour-
ness of the sap, but is apt to make the syrup
dark. ,
Q. 13th. What amount of wood is requir-
ed.
ANS. About a cord of wood to a hundred
gallons. Probably more than a hundred gal-
lons could be got from burning a cord of
good, hard wood, well dried and finely split,
if the apparatus wasin good order.
Q. 14th. What is the average amount of
syrup from an acre of ground ‘3
_ANS. 160 to 200 gallons to an acre would
be a fair yield, perhaps better than many
growers have yet accomplished.
Q. 15th. Will seed ripen in this vicinity ‘?
ANS. The Chinese seed is apt to be late,
but it is getting acclimated. Someof the
African varieties will no: ripen at all. The
Otaheite and Chinese will ripen with proper
cultivation.
Q. 16th. What is the worth of the skim-
mings? .
ANS. It is good to make pigs grow fat rap-
idly. The heavy skimmings are distilled
with great profit. Spirits made from skim-
mings will sell for $3 per gallon. One grow-
er intends raising canc this summer for no
other purpose.
These are all the points that were discuss-
ed in the main, but the meeting was of a
friendly and social character, and a vast
amount of most valuable information was
elicited during the progress of the debates.
A. E. Bartlett of North Guilford took a
prominent part in throwing light upon the
above, and the samples of syrup which he
showed were undoubtedly very fine. Coarse
gravelly soil, on high ridges,he thought best
for the cane and said that the purest soil
Coarse soil
does the business the best.
-.'Mr Wm. Hall, of Wallingford, thought
any Connecticut soil was just the thing if
the cane could be well ripened. Many cul-
tivators leave too many suckers. From six
to eight canes in a bill will do of the sor-
ghum variety. Give the soil an early start
with a fertilizer and the cane can be made
to ripen. Up the Quinnipiack Valley last
year many fields were almost entirely ruined
by frost.
Mr. J. F. Babcock made some inquiries
and Mr. Hall said the seed could lie in the
ground all winter.
C. F. Hotchiss told about how they raised
it in Kansas and thought four stalks in a hill
enough, the land being strong. A plough
could run through it each way with ease
and the Fall planting was urged. No cane
has been sufficiently ripened here. When it
is fully ripe it has a rich yellow color; the
color of the seed will be a rich jet black.
Never allow a sucker. Harvest only when
it is perfectly ripe. The best is grown in
Guilford and it lay stripped three weeks.
The difference in manufacturing will more
than compensate for any log in cultivation.
Ira Merwin asked for more information
about soil.
Mr. Bartlett had planted in both hills and
drills and liked drills best. It was pleas-
anter to harvest and the cane would not be
so apt to blow down. The hills should be
four feet apart each way. The most syrup
he had known to be raised from an acre was
340 gallons. Sixty gallons to an acre can be
raised on low land. Sorghum will plant
along with broom corn without detriment.
Mr. Hall said it wanted treating very
much like broom corn. He manured from
the pig yard.
Mr. Hall planted as soon as the ground
would allow him to.. Once had delayed till
J one and still had a good crop. Endorsed
the Fall planting and said Mr. Hotchkiss
was right in his idea. The land should be
light and friable. If the planting is not early
enough the Syrup will have an unpleasant
flavor.
J. F. Babcock came rather as an inquirer ,
l. .. .
and thought that the difference lichen hills
and drills ought to be understood, and ask--
ed whether high hilling was. a good plan.
Dr. Whittlesey said corn ought not to be
billed high, but ought to standby itself, and
perhaps the rule would apply to the cane.
Mr. Dickerman, of Westville, thought high
hillIing incxpedient .and recommended the
earliest planting. _
Mr. Bartlett said the cane has a tendency
to brace itself and these braces should not
be covered up. ‘
In answer to' an inquiry from them
ry, Mr. Hallsaid implanted three years on
the same ground and the land was just as
good, or better. ' It-isnot an exhausting-"crop.
Charles Fabriq'ue made sonic renal-H.
Mr. Hall plants three feet apart both ways.
Outside rows always did best because they
got plenty of sun and air. It is the light tit“?
is most needed. ‘I . ’ ~.. 1.53} if
