In tlie reminiscences of Ocn. Sheridan with which the. papers have, lately aboun ded, ene point has been strangely neg lected I1I3 llfe In the far west, both before, and since the war. Vet It was la Oregon and Texas that he wen his first honors, and In Mentana that he directed theso proceedings against the 1'iegans which excited the fiercest criticism of any of Ids nets. - " Whcn Urbvet Lieut. Philip II. Sheridan left West Point In 1853 his first location was In, Texas, where he wa3 In an occa sional brush with Apaches nnd Ceman. chesj but the popular stories of his "thrill ing encounters" and ''hand te hand com. BHEniDAN ON THE TLAIN8. bats with brawny savages" are rather mythical. It was in Oregon that he did really first class work, and wen seme honor. He was only second lieutenant and net attached te any regiment, but in command of a short company of dragoons for escort duty. While In camp ou the lower Columbia a messenger arrived with a dispatch that the block heuse at the Cascades of tlie Columbia had been at tacked by Indians. Sheridan at ence put the detachment of dragoons aboard tlie steamer Helle and started up the river. The next morning, perhaps by 7 or 8 o'clock, the Bolle had readied the Lewer Cascades, near Bradford's Island. Prem this point Lieut. Sheridan could sce the the Indians In ferce ou Bradford's Island. Everything pointing te a sharp battle, and the condition of affairs in tlie block lionse abeve being unknown, he arranged with the steward te glve his men a meal, unci told thorn te cat heartily, as seme of them might nevcr get another. Tills accomplished, he landed his forces below or west of the islaud, en the north bank of the river, nnd depleyed in the open. The dragoon who gives the ac count says thai Sheridan told his men te take advantage of cover, and te tire only when they could see the Indians, and thus advanced slowly in skirmishing or der up the stream te Bradford's Island. McGraw, a little Irishman who used te wal en him, seen 6ang out thet he Baw an Indian, and hardly had get the words out of his month bofero a volley came, and McGraw fell dead. Sheridan at ence had him taken te the rear, and then began te retreat te the banks, firing as he went. Having readied tlie shere, he halted, and fired with a. howitzer, which must have been brought up in the Helle. Tlie only white man killed in thU skirmish was McGraw. In tlie evening Sheridan drew his troops aboard the Belle, posting senti nels and keeping a sharp lookout. Next day the Infantry arrived, nnd the Indians were defeated and scattered. Lieut. Gen. Scott complimented Lieut. Sheridan for his action. ,, On March 1, laCl, Sheridan was ap pointed n first lieutenant in tlie First United States infantry, nnd seen after his career in the great war for the Union be- & r-ss&sta- BIIEItlDAN'd HOME AT THU CLOK 01 Till" WAU. gan. Tlie clese of tlie war left him almost at the spot where he had begun his military career, for Secretary Seward convinced the president and cabinet that it would be a delicate but powerful hint te Leuis Napeleon te send ene of our best generals te Texas, and, besides, "we might need him there." But the French eoen left Mexico, nnd after a very uuceu--genial and exasperating cxperieuce in the reconstruction line Maj. Gen. Sheridan was made commander of the military division of the Missouri, with headquar ters at Clilt'Sjre. Tite Union Pacific rail read was seen after completed, and tlie general made various trip te tlie west, and attempted a vigorous enforcement of the rather anomalous Indian policy of that period, and out of this grew w hat was denounced as tlie "Picgan massacre." Briefly stated, the facts are those: Cel. Baker, "iu immediate command of the Mentana department, forwarded frequent complaints of the murders and depreda tions by the Piegaus a subdivision of the Black fee t Indians. Sheridan in turn forwarded theso te Sherman, his supo supe supo rler, nnd in November, 1809, the latter sent general orders te "punish the Pio Pie gaps." A rapid but very plainly ex- Iiresscd exchange of notes new took place; laker te Sheridan that ns the sevcre winter weather was at hand he had an opportunity te "strike the Piegans," and Sheridan te Baker, te the effect that "if you strike them Btrike them hard." And he did it. Six companies of regulars and a few volunteers, Mentana settlers, left Fert Shaw en Jan. 10, 1670, nnd telling through distressing storms of snow came upon tlie main Piegan winter wmp en Maria river at daylight of tlie 23d. Sick ness was raging among the Indians, tlie smallpox te seme extent, and they were completely surprised. In a few minutes the troops had killed 173, wounded many mere, and burned the camp. As usual when a camp is attacked tlie Indian women fought as desperately as the men and many were killed. The beldiers in sist that they spared women and chil dren as much as possible About a hun dred were taken prisoners. When these facts were published a .storm breke forth greater then that ex- cited by the massacre of Glencee. It wai the culmination of ascric3ef winter at tacks en the Indians, and the whele sys tem was vehemently denounced. It was fought ever in cengVess, in tlie roligleus mfetincrs. in the papers, and in partisan debate, and was revived by the subse quent Camp Grant massacre in Arizona. Gen. Sheridan was unsparingly deneunced1 by the advocates of the "Quaker ielicy," but he was tlie most popular man In tlie far west, "tilve.us Cenner and Chlvlng Chlvlng ten and Custer, "with Sheridan te com mand," was the cry from Missouri te the Paciflc, from the Assiuibolne te the Gila. Sheridan steed up manfully te his share of the responsibility, avowed his order te Cel. Baker, praised the latter'a efllci ency and explained that with few troops and a large area te defend he must "strike hard" and in winter. Siuce 1SC2, he said, there had been 1,200 whites mur dered in his department by Indians. , "The men scalped, the wcmien ravished End ther brains of the children dashed out." "I have no h'ssitatien," he adds, "in making my choice. I am going te stand by the pcople ever whom 1 am placed and give them what protection I can." He then urged certain reforms in Indian management, which he continued te urge after becoming lieutenant general jiutil poeTCS3 ndsctci them, AM cf tha MMBL WmMmNsw T33imWSS t ricgans irmusti sela that they began te impreve at once, and have plnce been as harmless as the "Shlnnccecks" of Leng Island. The Chicago fire of October, 1871, gave Gen. Sheridan his next opportunity te win the gratltnde of theso with whom he was located, and when he married. Miss ltncker, daughter of an old army officer and citizen of that city, Chicago rejoiced greatly, taking that as his sign of per manent location there. And thcre he did la fact remain till made lieutenant general. His home during the tlme he was stationed in Chicago was at Ne. 2007 Michigan avenue, The heuse is a two story and mansard brick en fifty feet of ground. It has a piazza in front and en a part of the south side. A bay window en the south slde lights up two stories. Tlie heuse is much larger than a gllmpse from the street shows, much of the room being at the tear of the building. Tliere is a lawn en both sides and the general aspect of the heuse is pleasant, com fort a a ble and homelike. Sheridan's home, when the war closed, if a soldier may call his mother's heuse his home, was a pleasant little cettage In Somerset, O.

William Tectmseh BHEtitDAN-'fl CII1CAOO 1IOCS1. Sherman was born within an easy day's walk of Sherldan's early home, and Ulys ses Grant was born at Point Pleasant, Clerment county, net far away; while Georgetown Brown county, in which Grant's boyhood was passed, furnished the Union army four generals and a colonel that were graduates of AVest Point, and nine ether prominent com manders, including Gens. Kautz and Mc Mc Mc Grolerty. Residents thore will tell you that the town also furnished a few re cruits te the Confcdcrate army "and plenty whose hopes were en that slde, but they were tee cowardly te fightl" Grant himself says that the town was net really loyal till Jehn Morgan had geno through the county. Somerset, the home of the Sherldans, was net se preline cither of greatness or of southern sympa thizers. Gen. Sheridan had a pardenable pride in his rapid rise, and took plcasure in en couraging ambitious boys, as was shown by nn Incident. When Fred Mllllgan, new a well grown lad, who resides with his parents in Rochester, N. Y was but a little fellow he was locally famous for his elocution ary powers, and had made an especially geed reputation for his recitation of "Sheridan's Itlde." Ne veteran's re union in the vicinity was completed without Freddie and "Sheridan's Ride." When the entertainment cemmittee of a big army reunion that was te be held in Rochester knew that the here of Win chester was te be present, It was decided that the boy should roclte the poem dur ing tlie "exercises" of the closing day, and that Sheridan should have a scat en the platform. At first Sheridan him self did net strongly favor the scheme, but made no great pretest, and the boy came en, tingling te his finger tips with oxcito excito oxcite mont ever the fact that he was te rocite bofero Sheridan. His exaltation was in creased by the musie and the lights and the flowers te a great pitch, and his effort was te the veterans the most ec-, ceptable ene of the evening. The ap plause of the audience was simply over whelming when the boy had dene, and tliere were enthusiastic cries of; "Slieridanl" "Little Fhlll" Sheridan was really overcemo with emo tion. At first he hesitated te answer the call, then he rese from his chair at the back of the platferm.stepned te the front, HKLD IIIM Ul' IIIU'OIIU 11111 MPLTITCDH. and Impulsively clasping the boy iu his hands held him up bofero the excited multltude nnd kissed him. When he put the delighted boy en hi3 feet agalu, he whispered te him: "Ged bless you, my boy I Study hard, nnd when you are elder you will never waut a f rieud as long us Phil Sheridau lives." And new that "Phil" Sheridan lives no mero, there is no mero sinccre mourner in ull this bread land than Fred Mllllgan. Wat Somewhat rartlrulnr. A customer with about thrce hairs left of his original bteck of capillary attrac tions took possession of a chair iu a bar ber's shop. "I shall want the part made in the mid die," he said te the attendant who waited en him. The latter studied the bald cranium for seme tlme, and then asked witli a puzzled expressien: "But, please, sir, what shall I de with the third halrt" Judge.

Privileges of tlie Dining- Car Traveling Lunch Client. A flood lte.ult of Lew Ilate Travel In the. Night Time The Train Men. In ene respect the western railroads go head of the eastern railroads, and that is in feeding their passengers. Hardly a reed in the cast has a dining car en its local trains. The limited and through express trains have dining cars, but they are generally for the parlor and sleeping car passengers only. A man who Is going from New Yerk te Philadelphia, or New Haven, or Albany iu an ordinary car must get off at seme station te eat or go with out, unless he can make a meal from the cigars, fruit, candy and novels of the train boy. Out w est they de this better. Almest all the main lines make prevision for feed ing the passengers en the trains. More dining cars are run than en tlie eastern reads, and, though the meals are net se claborate as en the New Yerk Central and Pennsylvania limited trains, the prlce is scvcnty-flve rents Instead of (1. Tlie deer of the dining cars that the passengers who are net In parlor cars would enter Is net locked, and anybody in the train may go in and eat. This is net se pleasant for the parlor car passengers, but.it is hotter for tlie general travel of the read. In many trains where there la no dining car there is a sort of a lunch ceunterrlggcd up in the smoking car. Thcre is au attend ant who will nerve a luncheon In any part of the train. He brings the things en a tray, and they can be eaten with much mero comfort and lelsure en the train than In the hurry of a short step and the crowd and ceuf uslen of a railroad lunch room. The apparatus is, kept in tlu smoking car during the trip, and at tin end the things are packed up in a big chest, the way a newsbey packs up hU outfit, and the chest Is taken away te be restocked and put en another train. This is a convenience that the eastern reads de net seem te bolleve in. The prices are moderate, a little lower than theso charged at tlie average ca&icrn railroad lunch counter; the dishes are clean, and a nap kin gees with thorn. In ene way theso traveling lunch chests must be educators of the pcople. Ne knives are served with pie. An erder for pie, coiTee and a sandwicli brought a fresh sandwich wrapped up in transparent paper and covered with tin foil like a prize pack pack age, a thick, whlte chlua cup of coiTee with a little jug of cream and seme sugar, a piece of pie en a plate, a spoon and a fork. There was no knife. Tlie western inhabitant who undertook te eat pie with" a knife would have te furnish it himself, for the attendant brought nene. Tlie only ways of eating the pie were with a fork or with the fingers. This is better than in the east, where at four railroad lunch counters out of five a knife gees with pie, and usually It is vigorously used. "Don't you glve a knife with pie?" the attendant was asked. "Oh, no," he replied. "Yeu don't need a knife te cat pie." "Is this n scheme of the railroad toedu-cato-tho travelers?" "I don't knew about any scheme. All I knew is that pie don't need any knife." "Have you ever reflected en tlie results of this denial of knives te the pie eating public?" "Loek here, young man, wlmt're you asking that fort De you take me for a kid? Knives don't go with pie, and that's all thcre is te it." Thcre is less expectation of fees among the waiters iu western dining cars. They sell ten cent cigars, tee, and cheap beer. Altogether, the railroads seem te be run mero for the accommodation of the aver-nj-e passenger and less for the pcople who pay extra. That may be because tliere Is mero competition. One geed result of these low rates Is that traveling Is encouraged. Western men travel many times as much as east ern men. More western men conie cast than eastern men go west. A Brooklyn man would think a trip te Chicago some thing te be thought ever, and he would net go te Bosten without making seme preparation. A Chicago business man thinks nothing of going te St. Leuis, St. Paul, Kansas City or Omaha, and a trip te New Yerk simply means the expense und a day lest. They de net think, any mero of it trip te St. Paul than nn old Brooklyn citizen would think of a trip te Westchester county en Clie elevated read. One result of tlie universal western habit of traveling is that the bulk of the passenger traffic is dene at night. Every read from Omaha runs a night express, nrrivliur at Chicago in the morning, whlle the day trains are generally slower and mero for local traffic. A western man is accustomed te de his day's business and then start off, while nn eastern man leeks en the act of traveling as a serieus under taking, and starts oft iu the morning with a feellug that he will be mero tired by evening than if he had worked iu Ids office. A western man, ou the ether hand, finishes his business, gees te the station in tlme for supper ou the train, smokes his cigar iu the smoking compart ment of the blccper, chats with his fellow traclcra, gees te bed nnd wakes up in the morning lu tlme for breakfast at his destination, and gees at ence te attend te his business thcre as if he did that sort of thing every' day indeed, seme of them de. The relations between the trainmen and the passengers are mero pleasant iu tlie west. Tlie trainmen are net ser vants, but workmen and business men. They leek forward te promotion en the read or te striking wealth in speculation. Among their passengers every day they see men who a few years age were werse off than they are, and whom they knew ou equal terms. In the cast big men in the parlor cars are bowed down te by the traiumcu, who make things even with themselves by ordering around the second clas.s passengers lu the smoking car. Western conductors nre mero civil and less subservient, though the sleeping car porter is the same everywhere. The conductors are less stringent In en forcing the rules of the railroad company. Occasionally they will let a passenger step ever ou a limited ticket, and U Is common for them te accept tickets the tlme of which ha3 expired. They allow ene man te travel en another mau'a inlleage book, and a fair proportion of the cash fares never reaches the com pany's treasury. This Is regarded as legltlmate. A read that was tee strict with its passengers would'leso traffic. The differeuce can be told tt Chicago as seen as ene gets off n western reauV and changes te an eastern line. He at ence encounters a multltude of rules and an unpleasant v.'ey of enforcing them. New Yerk Sun. new I'elircnieii Wear Gloves. Did the man who notices everything in the busy llfe around him ever take heed te the fashion of the pollce ferce in the matter of wearing gloves? On Broadway, down town, whero the tall, stalwart of ficer guides unprotected females through the labyrinth of endless lines of trucks, herse cars and drays of all kinds, his hands are neatly encased lu a pair of white, closely fitting gloves. At the end of the day their original color is somo semo some time3 uet apparent, but he wears them both. On the avenue, where his duty consists of walking up and down, up and down in a monotonous manner, the policeman fol fel lows the fashion of tlie swells that paradu bofero him. One gleve only Is worn, aud that en the left hand, which clasps ten derly the ether neatly folded whlte bit of cotton, while his right hand Is frte te swing nonchalantly his club. In the business portions of the city the presiding genius in blue discards gloves as a rule, and his bauds are free te grapple with any obstreperous member of the ex changes who may feel particularly happy. But he possesses gloves, you knew that, for you see them just protruding abeve his breast pocket. And down where the outcast portion of humanity exists, the strong, muscular gjardlnn. cf.lbaJ.aw walks abeu. hore. nanaeti, for the men wIth"wh6m"hTceines in contact scarcely knew what gloves are.

American Tlew nf nngllih Manners. Ne class iu the world, prebablv, Is judged se little en Its merits ns the Eng lish upper class. At home It casts n glamour en men's eyes, a glamour no great that Mr. Darwin absolutely believed it physically superior te ether classes, al though another social observer, Mr, Ed ward Jenkins, made, a few years since, the remark : "Why neble earls should be se ugly is a problem of nat ure," and this strikes the Ameri can visitor te the heuse of lords as being nearer the truth. Se great is, at any rate, their lingering prestlge among Liberals, that n lending 1OnJen reformer ence told me that it was almost essential te the success of a radical meeting te get n lord te preslde at It, and I have myself been present at such n gathering in Lon Len Lon eon, when ene of the few really geed speakers I ever heard In England a man full of Information en the very point at issue, and expressing it admirably wai put down, In that bmtal way only seen among Eugllshmrn, through the impa tience of tue audience te hear n dull and inartlculate lord, who had nothing te say and said it. A class thus situated cannot be judged by what is sold about It iu Its own home; and when It is transplanted it is apt te drift among a class of similar admirers abroad. Ne doubt thcre are noblemen iu England whose manners a critical Ameri can would call high bred; hut it Is cer tain that ene may travel a geed deal lu that country, and even go through n con siderable course of Londen dinnerparties, without having tho-goed luck te encoun ter n specimen. T. W. Hlgglusen In The Forum. THE BELIEF IN LUCK. Result of nn i:iTert In Kxplnln tlie Appar ently Inexplicable I'xamplcs. The belief in luck results from a per sistent effort te explain what Is te the majority lnexpllcable, and we may sus pect that ns the lnexpllcable Is usually attributed te an unseen chain of causes, a geed many senseless efforts te change the luck os, for Instance, turning the chair nt whist, or changing ene's heuse are efforts, conscious or unconscious, te break the chain of causality, te deflect the stream, as It were, and mnke It pass by us. But this explanation docs net In the least meet the Btrnnge feeling which attaches luck or III luck te inanttnate things, n feeling which, avowed through out the East, und nearly universal with the vnlgar of the West, lingers even among tr" cultivated te an nstentshlng degrce. Ve have met men and women entirely frce from It, or nt least se frce that neither they nor we could detect it) but we suspect the majority of our readers will ndmit thnt they nre nware of its cxlstence iu their own minds that Is, that they possess or knew of things te which, lu epite of reason, they ultach lucky or unlucky Influence. The extent of the feeling varies with temperament, but few nre wholly frcg from it, and with some it Is nn abiding conviction, leading, lu the case of the less of the thing thus valued, te ncute mental suffering. It is net all association which induces wonien te sob ever u mislaid wedding ring, or brave officers te put en a particular sword when going en n spo spe elally dangerous expedition. It is net an inexplicable bin, continuous oxpcrlence, for thcre has been no experience. That solution would explain the belief of Not tinghamshire thnt a particular heuse always kills the first born of Its owner wholly irrespective of descent whlle the owner is still alive. That Idea, se stremr ns te niTect the value of the property, Is no doubt the rs Bult of a long series of singular coin cidences, the breaks In which, net being remarkable, huve net been remarked; but lu most cases tliere Is no justifying ox ex ox perlence. Tlie vnse, or cup, or Jewel, or heuse te which a family attaches honor nn in seme way connected with the "luck" of their race, has never been broken, or lest, or sold; and they themselves, as they show their treasure, reject with their Intellects a belief nevertheless se opera epera opera tlve that no price would purchase its ob ject from their possession. The man who lias kept a lucky coin for years has never had any luck from It; it is The mlscrnble often who feel this charm of the inani mate, and go en for years preserving the article, what ever it may be, as a kind of amulet which Is te bring the happiness never yet possessed. Indeed, men have been known te buy things under a fancy that they would Iki lucl.y te them, which is te express thu liclief in Its fullest and most unreasonable form Once u Week.

It was something less thnn two years after the death of his friend, W. 1L Trav. crs, prluce of metropolitan wits and story tellers, that the friends of Lawrcnre ("Larry") Jereme announced his serious illness. f "Unde Larry" lins been a great traveler, huntsman, yachtsman, clubman, prluce of geed fellows, and as a wit Is said te have rivaled Trevers himself. By the by, hew did Iawtcuce Jereme get the sobri quet of "Unde Larry?" Here Is a story that will explain It: A beautiful American woman porno years age met Ixml Randelph Churchill at a dinner In Paris. The young states. man,became infatuated with the Udy, proposed, was accepted and married. She was takrn te Londen, and nt ence been me ene of the prominent beauties of Ijondeu soclety. That woman was the ulece of Lawrenre Jereme. One day a tired nnd dusty traveler, gripsack lu hand, appeared nt the portal of the residence of the younger scion of the heuse of Marlborough, lle rang, nnd beheld I a flunky, magnificent In plush nnd whlte silk, brass buttons nnd pow dered wig, appeared aud frowned upon lilin who sought admission. "Where's Churchill?" demanded the traveler, muting a move te stalk past the flunky. " 'Js lordship's net hup, sir," protested the flunky, "I want te see him," said the traveler. "Yeu carn't de It, sir," said the ser vant, attempting te step the dusty mnn.w he couldn't possibly be a gen tleman according te the rating of an English ser vant.

Whether this Is the way Lawrence Jereme came te be called "Unde Larry" Is uet apparent, but "Unde Larry" told the story lu New Yerk en his return te many a sympathetic listener, aud doubtless the Incident has had a geed deal te de with the sobriquet. Last year "Unde Larry" went abroad nnd traveled about with the Nestor tif American politics, Simen Cameren. They had what English pcople laugh at Ameri cans for speaking of as a "geed tlme." lord Randelph gnve them a dinner, und the Duke of Boauferd, who has a home three miles from the Perter's ledgo und a park full of deer and eighty "hunters" in his stables nud n hundred nnd fifty serv ants, had them for guests, and doubtless felt honored te secure even a short visit. -.

The name of Jehn Robinson, the veto-' ran circus man who recently died lu Cin cinnati, has been familiar In the United States slnce men who are new old were lieys. The Robinson clrciid was started by him nearly half n century age, hut nt that tlme It wns n very paltry nffulr. It consisted of a mule, u broken legged herse and an old tattered tent, and tin) first exhibition was given nt Dotrelt, Robinson's marvelous horsebiick riding, however, made tlie thing a success, nud ns he was n man or greau pruuence money matters he seen had the satisfaction of seeing his exceed I n g 1 y prlmltive show grew te im im mense proportions nnd become the most famous or ganization of the kind lu the world.

The btrects of I'aris are n pure delight te me for many reasons, but chleily be cause they nre te clean. Why cannot our fitrccts at home, the streets of Pittsburg, New Yerk, Philadelphia nnd IJosten, be clean, toe'f Certainly thcre Is enough money spent en tliem te Inmire itl Hut se long as ene thing Is permitted In our American thoroughfares, which Is punish able with urrcstund flne here, just he long will our avenues and cress streets, our pavements, uye, even our train cars aud ferryboats, be disgusting and dirty, un seemly und a constant reproach. 1 allude te the national habit of expectoration, the national dlsgrare, for It Is te my mind nothing less.
