sirous of getting possession of It; forenro
having it they could net only proent
communication along Hi course, but their
ships, patrolling the river, could even shut
off communication betwecn New England
and the west and f.eutJi. In short, they
could cut the colonies in two In the middle,
and their subjection would he Inevitable.
It became at once an object with Iho

These obstructions 'held the rivur tt?
the Americans, and West Point was dur
ing the whole period the key te the pas
sage way between the northern and the
southern states. There was always a
considerable force kept there at least for
that time and Washington was fre
quently there himself. At the tlme of the
birth of the Dauphin of France, en order

of the allies who were supporting the

The academy was net born; It was
evolved. After the revolution the ar
tillery was grouped Inte a regiment and
the engineers into a corps, and the head
quarters were at West Point. Cadets
were attached te each corps for instruc
tion. In 1602 there were thrce professors
or instructors, hurt here v ens few te teach
and little te teach them with. Congress
paid no attention te the matter, and
Themas Jeffersen doubted whether the
government had a constitutional authority
te establish an academy, and the embryo
stadia of heroes came very near belnff
mined out altogether.

. PHIL SHERIDAN'S DASH
HIS PERSONAL APPEARANCE DURING
THE EARLY DAYS OF THE WAR.
let! Under IUIIeek, Unell and tteiecran
In tlie Wfit-A Caged Tlcrr Tite Very
Incarnation of Dittl The Northern
hteneimll Jackten.
Ocn. Phil Sheridan always had about
him mere of the dash, mere of the mag
netism of a general than any of the ethers
who In the cud came out the great leaders
of the war. Fer the first three years of
the struggle he occupied subordinate posi
tions, and his transition from a captain
and quartermaster te ene of the three
most prominent leaders of the war was
even greater than that of Gen. Grant, from
colonel of volunteers te general In chief.
As a division commander In thq west
Sheridan was nevcrhcarel of ; but hesecms
te have attracted the attention of Grant,
for It was Grant who calleel him from the
west te take command of the cavalry
forces of the Army of the Potomac.
When Sheridan was commanding a di
vision In the Army of the Cumberland he
was net the stocky person he was of tcr-
warci. 110 men
welghed about 130
pounds; his figure
was small, his face
rather thin. He
always had the
Fame b pi en did
black eye. A di
vision general,
where there are
corps commanders
and the General,
commanding the
army ever him, is

h colonel and ene nbeve a brigadier gen
hral He may fight his men well, but no
Wanning, nothing original is expected of
him. If Grant, when asked by President
Lincoln whom he wautcd te command the
cavalry of the Army of the Potemao, had
thought of seme ene else, Sheridan would
probably have died comparatively un
known. As it was, he came out the meBt
Mrlktng figure for spirit and quick, nerv
ous work of the war.
,
I Gen Herace Perter has given In The
"cntury Magazine for November, 1887, a
vivid picture of Sheridan as he appeared
nt oue of the closing scenes of the war,
before the enemy's earthworks, near the
White Oaks read In Virginia. The move
ment was slew and Sheridan get impa
tient "Sheridan," Bays Gen. Perter,
"chafing with Impatience and consumed
with anxiety, became as restlve as a racer
When he ncars the line and ls struggling
e make the start. He made every pogsl pegsl pogsl
bie appeal for promptness, he dismounted
from his herse,pace?d up and down, struck
the clenched fist of ene hand Inte the palm
of the ether, and fretted llke a caged tiger.
"At -1 o'clock the formation was com
pleted and the order for the assault was
gUcn, and the struggle for Picket's In
trenched line began. Sheridan
!iew rushed into the midst of the broken
Ines and cried out, 'Where ls my battle.
Hag?' As the sergeant who carried it
reele up, Sheridan seized the crimson and
White standard, waved it above his head,
rhcercd en the men and made great efferts
te clese up the ranks. Bullets were hum
tiling llke a swarm of bees. One pierced
the buttle ling, another killed the ser
geant who had carried it, another wounded
Capt McGonlgle in the side, ethers struck
two or three of the staff officers horses
All this tlme Sheridan was dashing from
ene point of the line te another, waving
Ids ting, shaking his fists, encouraging,
threatening, praying, swearing, the xcry
incarnation of battle. It would be a sorry
Miller who could help following such a
leader
"Sheridan reele Itlcnzl, the famousherso
that had ence carried him 'twenty miles
from Winchester,' The general spurred
Jitm up te the angle, and with a bound he
carried his rider ever the earthworks and
landed lUm in the midst of a line of prls
pners, who had thrown down their arms
hnel were crouching clese under their
breastworks. Some of them called out,
' Whar de you want us te go te?' Then Sher
idan's rage turned te humor, and he had a
running talk with the 'Johnnies' as they
filed past. 'Ge right ovcrthere.'he crlcef,
pointing te the rear; 'get right along new;
drop your guns: )ou')l neter need them
nil) mero You'll all be safe ever there;
nre theie nny mero of jetv? We want
every ene of you fellows ' "
, There is no such picture as this of any
of the great leaders of that period. Stone
wall Jacksen, en the battlefield, has been
described as such a man, and undoubtedly
had a remarkable power of transmitting
enthusiasm te his troops
Ne general rese se rapidly when he ence
get an opportunity as Phil Sheridau.

The primary idea of 11 w hlstle lies in
the making of a column of air te vibrate,
In whatever condition As there is no
lack of means or methods for doing this,
the Infinlte diversity of the forms of the
apparatus for producing the vibrations
and the resultant sounds ls a matter of
ceurse The most general form is the
human whistle, which ene can make
sound after a fashion without much
iirclimlnary training, but man) musicians
liave made' themselves masters of Its In
tonatieus te such a degree that instead
of the usual lnlnermouleus and unmothed
leal discords, they can reuler with It the
most dlllicult passage's of elaborate mu
sical notes I bhall net dwell upon the
means that may be employed te make the
sounds sharper and te modulate their
tones Kvery ene knows what effects are
produced by inserting the fere and second
lingers be 113 te turn the tongue sllghtl)
back as the column of air passes ever It
eir by sending the blast ever the outside
of the beut fingers.
If we seek ether primitive whistles, we
have them In the hollow barreled key, the
