Grant’s Estimate of Sheridan.— The
President, in a recent conversation
with Representative Frye, of Maine,
paid a very high tribute to Phil. Sheri
dan. The President inquired of Mr.
Frye, who had just returned with the
Louisiana Committee, his opinion of
Sheridan. The latter said he thought
he was a good man to lead a charge in
battle, but little more, but that his
visit to New Orleans has shown that
he was mistaken, and that, on the con
trary, Phil. Sheridan is a man of very
sound judgment, and manages affairs
in Louisiana with remarkable ability,
notwithstanding he is constantly in
sulted. The President, in substance,
replied : “ With very many other peo
ple, you have, indeed, been entirely
mistaken. It is my deliberate opinion
that Phil. Sheridan is the greatest of
living or dead military men. It two of
the largest countries in the world were
to be engaged in a war against each
other, and to prosecute it to the ut
most limit, I know of no man, living
or dead, to whom I would so soon in
trust the campaign, from the planning
of it to the end, as to Gen. Phil. Sheri
dan.”
An English View of the Caucus Bill.
—A special telegram to the Baltimore
Gazette, dated Washington, February
19, says: An English gentleman, a
temporary sojourner here, asked an
ex-Confederate acquaintance the other
day what he thought of the bill agreed
to by the Republican caucus. The ex-
Confederate replied that he should
prefer first to hear the opinion of the
questioner, who, as an impartial ob
server, could judge of the measure
without prejudice. “Well, then,” said
the Englishman, “in my opinion it is
revolution. In England we regard the
habeas corpus act, passed in 1679, as
one of the bulwarks of individual
safety, and next in importance to Magna
Charta. So long as the statute remains
in force no subject of England can be
detained in prison except where such
detention is shown to be justified by
law. You recollect what a row was
raised when it was proposed to sus
pend the habeas corpus act in certain
sections of Ireland. Why, such a bill
as it is now proposed to enact in this
country of free institutions would set.
all of Great Britain in a blaze, and the
government that dared to pioposesuch
a thing would be instantly hurled from
power.”
“Go away! Leave me with my dead!
Let me fling myself on his coffin and
die there 1” That was in Nebraska six
months ago, and now the widow has
won another trusting soul, and No. l’s
portrait is in the attic, face to the wall.
The quality of gas now being fur
nished may be good, but it is a fact
that when a highwayman lays for a
victim he gets as near a gas-lamp as
possible, so he will not be seen.

A LOUISIANA INCIDENT.
Sheridan Snubbed by a Lady.
A few evenings since at a party given
by army and naval officers, Gen. Sheri
dan was present. After supper a quad
rille was proposed, and a number of
sets were formed. One young Captain,
more favored than his comrades, had
prevailed upon a well known Louisiana
belle and her mother to accompany
him to the reception. As the dance
was about to commence he conducted
the young lady to one of the sets, and
was on the point of taking his place in
it when his partner exclaimed in an
audible whisper : “ Oh, Captain ,
Gen. Sheridan is in this set.”
“Well, what difference does that
make?” asked the astonished young
officer.
“ Difference, sir,” was the reply.—
“ Difference ! It makes no difference
to you. perhaps, but I am a native of
Louisiana, and cannot dance with that
man.” This was said in so loud a tone
that the attention Of every one in the
room was directed to the young lady.
The answer of the officer was waited
for with evident anxiety. He was equal
to the emergency. He conducted the
girl back to her seat, as he did so say
ing in a very polite but determined
tone, “ I am exceedingly sorry, Miss,
but if you will not dance with General
Sheridan it will be impossible for you
to dance with me.” The belle and her
mother soon afterward left the room.
Gen. Sheridan was naturally very much
annoyed at the occurrence, but was of
course powerless to prevent it.
A contemporary says that a matter
of-fact doctor’s wife attempted to move
him by her tears. “Ah !”said he, “tears
are useless. I have analyzed them.—
They contain a little phosphate of lime,
some chlorate of sodium, and water.”
A kind Missouri husband wheeled
his crippled wife three miles the other
day that she might cheerfully gaze
upon a funeral procession. It was “the
first which she had had the pleasure
of seeing for seven years.”
AUGUSTA, GA.. WEDEEBDAY MORNING. MARCH 3. 1875.
BURNING WELL.
One of the Seven Wonders. A Natu
ral Torch Forty Feet Long Spouting
Up from the Earth. A Wonderful
and Grand Phenomenon. Hundreds
of People Flocking to See It.
The following interesting description
of a burning well in Pennsylvania has
been received at the Signal Office in
Washington from Mr. J. Cummings, of
Tarentum, one of the volunteer ob
servers for tlip Signal Service:
On the night of the 2d of February,
1875, myself, in company with several
others, paid a visit to the great gas
well, situated about nine miles from
Tarentum, and fifteen miles south of
Butler, Pa., at a place called Larden’s
Mill, on the farm of Mr. William
Hervey, and owned by a company
consisting of William Hervey, J. T.
Yandegrift and J. McAllaster. The
well was tapped about ten weeks ago,
as I learned from one of the proprie
tors, in their search after oil. They
had gone down a distance of eleven
hundred and fortj*dive feet, and had
just struck the “ first sand rock.”
The well is located in a hollow about
three hundred feet wide, between
abrupt hills.
Our party came in the vicinity of the
well about 9 o’clock at night, having
seen
the vast light floating in the; sky
on mauy a dark night on previous oc
casions thirteen miles distant, but when
we came in its immediate influence,
and saw the trees on either hand lit up,
and their trunks and branches silvered
to their tops by this burning torch, the
scene was beyond description. On ar
riving at the ground we were met by
hundreds of people from all parts of
the country, wbo, like ourselves, flock
nightly to see this great wonder.
The first tiling to strike the visitor
on arriving is the great mass of fine
white flame of intense heat and bright
ness ; the hollow, rumbling noise heard
as the outrushing gas plunges into the
•atmosphere and lights all around by its
imposing brilliancy.
THE FLAME OF THIS NATURAL TORCH
is about forty feet long and fifteen feet
wide, and keeps at these dimensions
night and day with striking regularity.
Hence the light is both regular and
constant. The trees all around at pro
portional distances are budding, and
the grass that has not been trodden
down by the throng of visitors is grow
ing finely, and, considering this is mid
winter, this circumstances will give
you some idea of the great heat. I ap
proached within sixty feet of the flame,
and supposed it to be at that distance
about one hundred and forty degrees.
The place has the character of a camp
meeting at night in consequence of tiie
nightly crowds who congregate there.
The light is grand. You can see to read
with ease a quarter of a mile from the
enormous gas jet, and if uninterrupted
by trees and the wind of the road,
reading could be done at the distance
of a mile and a half. The noise
AS THE GAS RUSHES OUT AND IS CONSUMED
is wonderful! It struck me very much
like the hollow roaring of a mighty
river falling over a dam, uninterrupted
and constant. This, together with the
light and heat, fills the beholder with
awe, and involuntarily leads him to
reverence that Being who holds the
earth, the air and the sea in the hollow
of His hand.
The sound of its roaring can be dis
tinctly heard at the distance of four
miles.
One of the proprietors informed me
that negotiations are going on for the
purchase of this gas well by Dr. Hos
tetter, Graff, Bennett & Cos., the Penn
sylvania Salt Company, the Columbia
Conduit Company, and'othors who are
studying the problem of utilizing this
natural treasure in their various enter
prises.
THE GAS IS CONVEYED FROM THE WELL
to the distance of about one hundred
and fifty feet by a six-ineh metal pipe,
and discharges itself at the end of this
pipe with the percussive force of steam,
There is another well of less note, six
miles distant, at a place called Saxin
burg, which also sends out a constant
supply of gas.
I may mention that the tools are yet
in this well, which, if drawn out, would
no doubt allow a far greater volume of
ga3 to escape.

[Cor. Courier-Journal.
Mrs. Gen. Crook at Washington.
The wife of the gallant Gen. Crook
has been passing some weeks in Wash
ington. Mrs. Crook was very desirous
of having her husband transferred
from Arizona, where the climate is
telling upon his health, to some other
station. At a recent entertainment tho
President was promenading with Mrs.
Crook, when she ventured upon a plea
for her husband. The President an
swered by saying that Gen. Crook was
too valuable where he was to be ex
changed to any other post, and added:
“He serves his country so much
better when his wife is with him that
you will have to return.”
Mrs. Crook was a Miss Daly, of Win
chester, and was captured by her hus
band just after the celebrated battle
in which her husband acted so conspic
uous and brave a part. She is very
handsome and sprightly, so she
saucily answered the President
by telling him that her husband was
a greater General than he or
Sheridan. “ For,” said she, “it only
took him two hours to reconstruct me,
and after ten years’ trial you and Sheri
dan have failed with the South.” The
President got even with her at their
last meeting, when she asked, “ Am I
really to take that long journey
through the Indian country to join my
husband ?” “ No,” he said ; “I am go
ing to send Gen. Crook to Alaska, and
you can join him at San Francisco.”
And while the President’s face was
grave and serious, there was a twink
ling of fun and humor about the cor
ners of his eyes, and the lady did not
scare a bit.
Mrs. Crook has had nine happy
years with her j husband, and is as
proud of his military record as if she
had never needeql reconstruction. She
thinks that if the same policy had
been adopted for reconstruction on a
larger scale as the conquering hero
practiced upon her, there would be
no discontent now ; that same old law
of love and kindness that binds the
heart with bands of steel.
Some hardened sinner by the name
of Graeter, in Vincennes, tore the roof
from one of his houses in order to
drive out a sick widow who was not
able to pay the rent. Her children died
from exposure occasioned by this ac
tion, and now the grand jury are going
to investigate the matter. Five years
in the penitentiary might cover the
case, but ten would answer better.— Mt.

making yery “ dear goods.”
I have a large assortment of TEAS, and
make a “ specialty ” of them in my busi

They are bought from the IMPORTER,
direct from CHINA and JAPAN, thus get
ting them from first hands, with only
freight and United States Receiver’s com
mission added to cost in China.
I would say to the public they canYelyon
the quality of my TEAS, and the price will
be LOW, because there is only ONE instead
of several profits, as is generally the case.
Retailers furnished in chests, at as low
rates as the same quality can be bought in
large cities.
One Dollar Will Buy
Two pound? of good Green or Black Tea,
four and a half pounds of good Rio Coffee,
