txhcrirlan’s ride no romance—the
story as toldb'y General Agiins.
Having been an eye witness of Sheridan’s
ride to the front on the morning of October
19, 1874, 1 am perform in a position to make
sfme co'nmcit on the latter day historians
wlro proclaim that incident of the war to be
merely a romantic fiction. The battle of
Cedar Creek had legun in the early (lawn
and Sl-eridan was then at Winchester on
his return to 1.1% head-quarters, after having
been summoned to Washington to attend a
military consultation which, as was after-
wards developed, settled the work of Sheri-
dan's army in swinging down the valley,
crossing the Rapidan and striking the left
of the Confederate army around Richmond.
As is well known on the night of the 18th
Early had started the troops, and on the "
morning of October 19, he had forced our
lines and driven back both the Eighth and
the Nineteenth corps. It is perfectly true
that early on the morning of the 19th Sheri-
dan heard at Winchester of the disaster and
started to rally his troops.
That morning I was in command of a de-
tatchment convoying a large ammunition
train from Winchester to Cedar Creek. We
had been harassed by Mosby’s cavalry on
our way, who struck us at frequent inter-
vals between Martinsburg, Bunker Hill and
Winchester. On the 19th we started from
Winchester before daylight. We were not
more than five miles from the town when
we heard the sharp eannonading that de-
noted an action at the front. Our train was
making tolerably good time, and we were
near Middletown, when, on looking back, we
perceived a cloud of dust in our. rear upon
the turnpike. We had no idea what caused
it until Sheridan came into view fromthe
surrounding cloud. He had been down to
Washington, and consequently had on his
uniform of Major General, which was cover:
ed with dust. No jockey on the last quarter
of’ a four mile heat ever rode harder than
did Sheridan as he thundered down that
V’rginia pike on his big black horse. His
head was down, his body slightly inclined
forward, and his soul thrown into the
race against time, with the fortunes of his
army as the stake. As he drew near to us
be perceived that our train’bloeked the road
and that it would require some time to clear
it. He solved the difiiculty' by cutting
through an open field to our left and strik.
irig the road again after he had got ahead of
us. He had outridden almost everybody
who started with him from Winchester. The ‘
only ofileer I remember recognizing near him
was General William P. Fesseudcn, Jr., of
Maine, who was some ten or fifteen lengths
in Sheridan's rear, and who afterward told
rue that his own English mare was a present
from his father (Senator Fessenden), and
was noted for speed, but had no chance
alongside of Sheridan and his tremendous
black. After these two came Sheridan’s
staff ofiiecr’s, stringing out in a long line,
and all of them pretty .well tired out with
the pace he had set them since they left
Winchester. The cavalry escort was about
half a mile in the rear, with their horses con-
siderably blown. I have only written this
much to demonstrate by one witness,at least.
that Sheridan’s ride was an actuality, and
that it. deserves to be preserved among the
annals of the noblest; acts of American sol-
diers.
A Soaxnanovs TRICK ExrosxD.—0ne of
the many tricks whereby bankruptcy becomes
a money-making device has been exposed by
the New York World; A reporter followed
up an advertisement informing the reader
rlint “if you contemplate bankruptcy, you.
c in procure $48,000 good, genuine regular
securities. Terms to suit contingency."
The advertiser was discovered to be :1 Bread:
way lawyer, and a little inquiry in the char-
acter of a special partner in a firm about to
fail showed the reporter that he could buy
$548,000 in southern land bonds, worth noth-
ing in the market, for $1,000 cash, and turn
them in as assets to cover cash capital drawn
out and that still owing to the firm. Bill
of sale dated back to give the transaction a
genuine look. To make the arrangement
work it was necessary to have a bookkeeper
who was “all right," and who could and
would fix the books. The lawyer assured
his interviewer that the thing was done every
day, and such securities passed well with the
charts; that in Philadelphia recently Judge
Cadwalder ordered stock of the satire sort
put into the schedule of assets at 96 cents
When the story of the inter}
vicw came out in the World, this advertise-'
ment and others to intending bankrupts end-
dcnly disappeared from the Herald, and the
attorney in a “personal” declared his pur-
pose to sue the World for libel. The affair
isa specimen of a class of fraudulenttran.
reactions which are being pushed with an-
common Iiveliness during these last days
of the national bankrupt act. Nearly all the
worthless securities in the New York stock
market gets into the hands of professional
bankruptcy attorneys, who use them in this
way. One broker says that many swind-
liug mining and land concerns are kept alive
by selling their stock to merchants who
know it is worthless and only take it as an
exhibit in their assets. -

The Liquor Traffic in the United
States.
A member of the British Parliament re-
cently applied to Prof. Henry A. Ward of
Rochester for information concerning the
liquor traffic of this country. To obtain re»
liable statistics Prof. Ward addressed the.
Secretary of the Interior, and in reply receiv-
ed the full and courteous letter from the
Commissioner of internal revenue which is
here subjoined. But these figures, enormous
as they are, do not include that large fraction
of the trafiic which escapes taxation: .
WASHINGTON, June 24, 1878.
Sm: Your letter of the .15th inst., to the
Honorable the Secretary of the Interior, ask-,
ing for some statistics in regard to the liquor
traffic in the United States for a Member of
the English Parliament, was referred to this
office on the 18th inst. In reply, I have the
honor to state that the only official informa~
tion I can give you on the subject is derived
from returns to the treasury department of
the quantities of domestic spirits and malt
liquors on which tax has been paid, and of
imported liquors that have been withdrawn
for consumption. These returns for the tie-
cal year ending June 301b, 1877, are as fol-
lows:
Spirits distilled from whatever mater-
ials. gallons,
Ale, beer, lager beer, and porter, bbls, 9.902.353
Imported Spirits of all kinds, gallons, 1,356,670
Imported wmes in casks & bottles, gals., 5.723.469
The following is a statement of the amount
of special or license taxes paid the govern-
ment by dealers in liquors during the same
year: ..
Retail dealers in spirituous liquors, 825
57,458,989
cac . , , _ 83,840,469
Wholesale dealers in spirituous liquors,
$100 each, ' 449,729
Retail dealers in malt liquors exclusivc~
ly. 920 each, 147,801 ~
.Wholesalc dealers in malt liquors exclu-
srycly. 350 each, 42,001
Thus it appears there were upwards of
166,000 liquor dealers in the country, that
year. .
From the above and other data, Hon. Ed-
ward Ypung, chief of the bureau of statis-
tics, estimates the amount of money annually
expended in the United States for liquors, by
~consumers, to be nearly $596,000,000.

Mitts and Clean Fingers.
DAIsr’s oonnornna ADVISES as To [nun
' TOILET.
( i
Daisy's godmother-is introduced to usas
“apretty picture as she lies each morning
upon her big scarlet lounge, its glowing
‘_ brocatelle 'making'a gorgeous background
for her black eyes and shining silvery hair,
‘ her figure half hidden by a heap of brigh
' wraps, ' and her tiny hands very busy with
the contents of several large boxes held by
her maid and Daisy. She is an invalid, for
whom, all the gay delights of shopping long
ago resolvedthemselvcs into the compara-
tively colorless pastime of home selection,
but she knows how to make this interesting
to herself and lively to the other persons
present.” ' .After giving -Daisy the most
judicious advice as to sunshadcs, she pro-
ceeds to mitts, saying :—
“I suppose you must have some of these,
Daisy, or go down to the grave with the con-
sciOusness that you have been deprived of
the passing fancy of the hour; but a mitt
never looks like a lady’s property to me.
. Here is a box of all the tints of the rainbow
i—dclicatc lavender, pale blue, soft straw
color and linden green. llompclian red and
deep blue; but we'll have none of them.
iYou lucky Beryvillyins have no balls and,
icau‘t need silk mitts at $2 a pair. Here
iare mohair-mitts at all prices, from 37 cents
lap to $1.50, and of all lengths. Some have
fingers and some none, and if you can tell
Iwhicli is the ugliest you are more discrimi-
Zinating than I."
“ They do not look very bad," says Daisy
drawing a pair over pretty,her rosy-tipped fin-
.gers andpulling the elastic well down on
iher dimpled wrists.
‘ “ My dear,” says the old lady, “I know
.but two women [whose hands are,pretty
§enough to justify a public exhibition of them,
iand only one whose skin is sufficiently thick
Etc bear a Boston east wind without turn-
Iing red and purple. Either of these ladies
would look well with mitts ina ball-room,
igbut only one would be tolerable in the streets
!and she except in the very hottes days
inuldlook better in the exquisitely fitting
iundressed kid glove which she sometimes
hvears, and in which her hand looks as if
sculptured frOm gray marble or old ivory.
ilf kid gloves seem too warm for the hottest
ilays, what can you ask cooler than these
'silk gloves at 87 cents a pair? You can
have them in all the delicate shades, and,
{with the long wrists that are essential in the
'sunny months. Then there are gauzyllisle-
thread gloves, with long open-worked wrists.
“There are two styles, the German and the
French, and I need not assure a little girl
who hates Bismark and all his works that the
latter are the prettiest and finest. You can
wash a lislc-thrcad glove a hundred times if
you like, you know, without hurting its
Iboks." '
“ But I really like the mitts," says honest
I aisy. “One can’t expect tobe perfect, and
yhands arn‘t so very bad. See, here are
me real thread-lace mitts in black, and
bite. You cannot say that they. are net
beautiful. The pattern is exquisite.”
E .. Well, Daisy, if you will have the truth,"
the fairy godmother answers, sitting. up
viii-y straight, “ you ought not to wear mitts
' til you know how to wash your hands and
c can your. finger nails. Don't flush and get
angry. You are no worse than most girls
a‘d most women. I dislike mitts because
I w them go out of fashion, and I always
tick of them asworn on big red paws

them because they disclose such a multitude
of small sms against ncatuess. Pretty girls

to; me, and I am grateful, and wish that I
d' ed tell them how much prettier their
h nds would look if I had the care of them.
The little ladies mean to be neat, but they
tliink that they cannot make their dimpled
fiuger-joints perfectly clean without rough-
‘eiiing the skin‘ and so they make no effort
to; do so. Very likely they have a haugnail
on tv'vo, and seem to regard it as an accounta-
bl‘ ; and, as for their nails,'I have not seen
a retty'set on that keyboard. Somebody
wrote along story the other day about hands
of French‘ladies in order. We need a leg-
ion of nail doctors here.”
5“I am s'ure',"said Daisy, with a pout, “ I
wash my hands often enough." '
“But younever wash them thoroughly,"
is {the sharp retort. “ Go and do it now.”
gDaisy 'obeys, and, after a great splashing
and rubbing of soap and scrubbing of'nail-
brush, and a hasty polish with a towel, holds
out ten pink digits for inspection.
with intense scorn. “Frightened with water,
‘as-Zmy grandfather used to tell me! Now do
asII bid you. First, soap your hands, brush
your nails inside and out; now rub on In-
,dian meal, and then rinse yous hands. Think
they are clean, do you ? Oblige me by wash-
inf;r your left hand in the liquid in that hot-
tle. You see that it is about ten shades
whiter than the right. What is it? Oxalic
acid. Now rub a drop of glycerine on your
hands and then dry them'witli the towel;
mind I said dry them. Prctl y well; but
Daisy, what do you do to your nails ?"
“’1 clean them with asharp‘pciiknife,"
half sobs Daisy, looking ruefiilly at the
coirtrast between her broad irregularly shap-
ediuails and the fairy godmOthcr's 'With her
. Bilitmlhly-I'OIIIIIICII edges, polished pink sur-
face, and pale crescent at: the'root. “And
I “can't help it “Daisy goes on, "if they
are not pretty. They are just asihey are
milde." ' ‘
‘f That is quite true," says the godmother,
“ and much to your discredit. SuppOse you
left your hair just as it was made, and never
.bairided or combed it; would that be meri-
toriOus? Never touch a penknlfe to your
nails. Usea blunt point to clean them, and
a file to trim them. Follow the line ofthe
finger tip in shaping them. There is a little
instrument made of nickel and combining
apethecary’s, Remember ‘that the skin
full y pressed back every day, and that the
corners 'of the nail should not be filed too
clotely. It takes time to do all these things,
but there are few toilet offices of more real
importance. A well kept hand will retain
its‘beauty long after the hair is gray, the
eyés dull, after the teeth have departed and
the figure is only a memory of the past; but
an ill kept hand is a blemish that nothing can
counterbalance. Moreover, Daisy, men no-
ticc it ten times more quickly than women,
and nothing provokes more invidious re-
marks from them than soiled fingers and
nails in mourning. You don't care for the
men? Of Course not Daisy, but I mention
the fact. Now as for mitts, you may have
a pair of white silk ones to wear with your
white suit, but no black ones. \Vear gloves,
Daisy, and _keep your hands soft and envy
not the ladies in mitts :—"‘
“ If to their share some manly praise should fall,
Look at their nails, and you’ll forget it all."

Secretary Sherman spoke some very en-
couraging words before the Cincinnati cham-
ber of commerce last week. ’ He expressed
the belief, shared by so many business men
of the country, that the worst is over. The
largest crop- the country has ever produced
is being harvested; the currency will soon
be based on the solid money of the world;
the season of bankruptcies will end this
week,and thebusiucss of the country will now
stand on the basis of property and approved
credit. Every sign of business is hopeful.
The country has gone through the debt-pay.
lng process, and will go ferward to prosperi-
ty on the foundation of solid coin.
The Boston Journal calls attention to the
fact that a large majority of the Massachu-
setts legislature is composed of workingmen.
This year, for instance, there were in the
senate, 15 lawyers, two retired from business,
1 banker, 1 financier, and 21 workingmen;
in the house, 23 lawyers, 8 retired from bus-
iness, 4 politicians, 2 bankers,2 law students,
and 196 wdrkingmen.‘ Of the latter, 61 were
mechanics or were dependent on wages, and
23 were farmers.

Source of“ the Connecticut.
Far up among the hills of Northern New
Hampshire, on the very border of Quebec
province, is a small lake. which has an area
of scarcely more than three acres. In early
spring while as yet the snow lies along its
border, the woods resound with the croaking
of numerous frogs, which here, undisturbed,
find a congenial habitat. This little lake, in
the cold, dark forests, 2,500 feet above the
level of the sea, is the source of the Connec-
ticut river. Its outlet, a mere rill, leaping
over the rocks in beautiful cascades, soon
flows into Third Lake. This lake contains
an area of about 240 square acres, and is sur-
rounded by lofty hills, "except on its southern
border, where the undulations are more gen-
tle. The lake has the form of a, trapezoid,
and its outlet, a stream ten feet wide, is in '
the southeast corner. From Third Lake the
Connecticut fiows four and half miles, when
it receives from the cast a tributary nearly as
large as itself. One and a quarter miles fur-
ther south it flows into Second Lake. This
lake is also surrounded by high hills,but they
recedc farther from its shores while in the
distance they rise to mountain heights. It is
two 'and three-fourths miles long, and its
greatest width is one and a fourth miles.
Besides the Connecticut it has two tributaries
from the northeast, and one from the north-
west. It is one of the most beautiful of our
northern lakes. The graceful contour of its
shores, the symmetry of its projecting points,
the stately growth of the primeval forests,
the carpet of green that is spread along its
border, and extends through the long 'vista
of the woods, the receding hills and the dis-
tant mountains present a combination of the
wild, the grand and the beautiful that is
rarely seen. On its border the moose and
the deer feed almost undisturbed, on its trib-
utaries the deer the beaver builds its house,
and the otter slides into the clear and limpid
streams, while its shores are still the resort
of the sable and the mink. The outlet is on
the west side, near the southern border, and
is about forty feet wide. The descent at first
is gentle, but the distant roar that greets the
ear indicates that rapids are near. 80 it
rushes on over its rocky bed, occasionally
forming deep eddies, only to become more
rapid still. For a mile and a half from the
lake it forms a series of wild cascades, which
continue for half a mile; then after receiving
two tributaries from the west it flows into»
First or Connecticut lake.
Here we find a sheet of water irregular
in outline, extending about four miles
east and West, having. an area of nearly three
square miles. On the "southwest there are
farms, and in places the gra88y_pastnres reach
the border of the lake;_but for the most part
it is still surrounded by a primeval forest.
This lake is beautiful, especially in Autumn.
On many of the ueig‘thrin‘g’hil‘lsIVJ‘Ethcre is a
growth ‘of deciduous tree's, paitiérllarly‘the
maple; wh'en the‘frost cbm'e'atid'theSe have
put on their crown of beauty, of' crimson
and scarlet, of yellow and gold, mingled as
they often are with the dirk foliage of the
spruce and fir, we have a scene which in
hrilliancy and beauty is rarely if ever ex-
celled. It often happens, while the forests
have on their robes. Of'beauty, that all the
higher points of ' the neighboring hills are of
immaculate whitenessfrom the'_frozen mist
that clings to every spray of the thick ever-é
green foliage. At the outlet of the lake, the
river, which is here fifty feet wide, forms a
precipitous cascade falling 'thirty.sevIln feet
in eight rods. It flows'a little west'of south
for two miles, when It ‘ receives a tribuary,
Cedar stream, from the east. when it flows a
little south of southwest, until it reaches the
Vermont line. It receives. three tributaries
from the north—Perry stream, which rises
near Third lake ; Indian stream, which rises
on the border a little further north than the
last, and Hall's stream, which is the bound-
ary between New Hampshire and and Quebec
province—J. 11. Huntington, Assistant Geol-
ogist of New Hampshire.
The existence of sharks has lately been
brought unpleasantly near heme by the death
of a boy who, while bathing near New
. York, mas bitten fatally. Since then anoth-
er victim, in ,Conuectierit, has lost a finger
by one 'of these monsters. When he seemed
to be dead, and had been hauled ashore
several hours, the finger was thrust into his
mouth audipromptly snapped of. All exper-j
ienced' shark hunters know that is one of
the “little ways" sharks have. They are
in fact, frightful frauds, and never more alive
than when apparently dead. It has been
partly, perhaps, in allusion to these remark-
able arts of dissimulation, which somehow
have become associated in the public mind
witl the artifices of the less worthy votarics
of that noble craft, the law, that sailors have
given these rapacious fish the sobriquet of
“sea, lawyers. ”

DIAKING PAPER Banana—The process of
making paper barrels, which it appears are
gradually coming into use, is quite simple,and
is as follows :—Sevcral layers of straw paper
board are cemented together under an enor-
mous pressure, which yields a compact sheet
of far greater resisting power than the same
thickness of the toughest wet id. The twocnds
are dovetailed, and being, brought together
and closed, a clcat of the same material per-
fects the joint, being held in place by double
pointed tacks clinched on the inside. The
heads of the barrel are turned from wood and
flanged being it is claimed. inserted in a man-
nor that makes the whole tliing'stronger than
an ordinary barrel, while at the same time it
is cheaper. Paper hoops are also used some.
times in order to strengthen the barrel, al-
though iu ordinary purposes none are needed.

A new cannon has been made at the Krupp

A ball of this cannon pierces the thickest
armor plates of vessels at a distance of eight
miles. Two shots at a range of 6000 feet

one hundred and fifty dollars.
