As the boat neared Sanfori l 1 was standing with others on the deck when a very pret ty young lady came up to me. and, with a sweet smile on her face, looked into mine with a pair of lovely eyes, and a«ked: "Are you going to kiss mo sir?" 1 f some one had offered to lend me #10 I could hot have been more surprised, and hardly knowing what to say. and in order to gain a l i t t le t ime, I gasped out ,"Par- don Miss, what did yon ask?' ' I fel t that she knew I heard Iter , butshesaid sweetly. "Are vou going to kiss me, to­ night ?"* There was no misunderstand­ ing her this t ime, I heard her, and so did others, and I fel t the blood rushing into my face, and I s tammered out: "I Mould l ike to accommodate you. Miss: 1 would.truly; but I have a wife and thir teeen small children on.board with me, and if my wife should see mc kissing you--" "Kissing me, von , hateful old thing! Who a>ked you, to kiss ine?" "You did!" 1 yelled; I asked you if you were going to Kissim- mee (I ty--Ivissimee City to night; don' t yon know anything?" and oil she went, and if anybody: fel t meatier than I did 1 would l ike t» exchange photo­ graphs with him; ie I l l inois I ' rol i i bi t ionists are really anxious to defeat the Republican party and i ielp the Rr.m Democracy in* to power in the Executive office and the Legislature, as their actions indi­ cate, wli3 ' don' t they come out f lat ' foot­ ed at once and pronounce for the De­ mocracy?

"I .ogan is going to give the t icket , great strength as the canvass advance* said an old journalist / ' He advanced the soldier element better than ei ther Greshani or Miller , or than any othe"V soldier l ikely to be named, would have done ; and will create as much enthu­ siasm as ei ther Lincoln or Harrison wouhl have Won. Logan belonged to • ! t he. c lass of popular volunteer generals and !n the. West was . regarded some­ what as Phil Kearney was in the East . He had all the daring, dash and pug­ nacity of Kearney and Hooker. I was with him nearly al l thft day before the batt le of Resaca, , Georgia, on May 14- 1SG4. and slept in an ambulance with l i ini- the sanie night--that is I s lept part of the night in the ambulance-- bht l ie was thnnderiu^r mad when awake and so rust less when asleCp ehat , for my own comfort , I got up and laid -down'under the wagon on the ground. 1 never saw a madder man than Lo­ gan was that day and night . He had the advance of McPherson's corpse on a flank movement around tht> left of the rebel army at Dalton, and he plant ed his division square across their only j ine of retreat , . lust beyond a small lordable stream the rehele l ied buil t a fort commanding a bridge of great Importance to the rebels, and Logan was preparing to assault i t when Mc­ pherson, his cor |>«e commander, came up and stopped the movement, deem­ ing i t hazardous. Logan said he could carry the wotks with a single brigade and destroy the bridge with his other two brigades, thus cutt ing oft the rebels retreat and forcing him to fight with Sherman's 100,000 men--quite double that of the rebel force. He pleaded with McPherson to let him go ahead proposing to lead t l ie assault ing column in person. From pleading he advanced to protestat ion, and then to cttrscs both loud and deej) and those became almost bi t ter personal denun­ ciat ions of McPherson when, deciding against an at tack, he ordered Logan to march back six miles to a strong d« - fet tslve posit ion and fort ify I t . Ir happened that 1 hoard part of this stormy Interview, and t l iesanm even­ ing McPnerson took occasion to ex plain to me that he had made his re­ trograde movement in obedionce to imperative orders. I t . turned out to o | ^ 9 l , ! J » % w a r , a n d Sherman severely cri t icised McPherson afterwards for not taking the risk suggested by Logdn, though he sustained him iu command. Lo­ gan's inst inct for f ighting proved cor. rect on that occasion; i t was subse­ quently discovered that the rebel fort at ResaCa was held by only 1.G00 di«- mouuted Georgia mili t ia calvayrtnen. Logan's veterans could have run over them if McPhersnn had let 'em loose with 'Black Jack' at their head* LOtJAN'8 OAK1NO. IN HATTLB. "One of the finest i l lustrat iens of the magnetic influence of a single man ir . t l ie crisis of a batt le was furnished by Logan at a batt le fought before Atlan­ ta. The rebels had flanked McPherson as completely as he had turned their l ine at Resaca, and had at tacked him vigorously. McPherson was kil led,and the command «f the three corps unex* pectedly devolved in a moment On Lo­ gan. and he had not onlj j his own but other commands t* i«ok after . He left his own immediate command, ar .d in person ral l ied I he First l>i vision, which .being suppriscd. was in gieat confu­ sion. I t was done by actual personal exert ion in the front of the l ine, at a great" ' 'personal r isk; The troops had more confidence in Logan ' than iu Mc­ Pherson, for . the reason that Logan led whereas McPherson directed ids m e n ; a n d when the retreating division saw Logan riding along their l ines, they ral l ied and went vigorously into the fight with a counter charge on the rebel force, i t was a fair , square W lust iat ioi i of personal magnetism a of fearlei^ leaJer over Uruve men U wits a quali ty many of the generals who gained greater uii lUaiM' dist inction than Loguu did not poassess, and l id not lay claim to.

It " ^ seems from tlie best sources of informa- 7 tiou that it came to the knowledge of J? the Department of 3tate. through ona :'f~ of the United States representative* . in Central America, that two great powers (reported to be Germany audi England) were quietly undeavoiing to obtain from Nicaragua a concession for tlie purpose of either constructing a ship canal which should connect the; two oceans or els«» the concession wouldl be held, and the United States thus prevented from constructing such « work on Its own account, or by iu|s citizens, unless by the consent of th« powers referred to. This information! came so directly tliat there seemed la be no doubt of its accuracy. The Stat*. Department, for ouve awaking to th# necessity of immediate action, took such steps as it deemed proper, and asked Congress for a sum of monejf that could tie used to complete tlie pre- TTiriTnary negotiation. Tlie mysterious part ol the matter Is tlie use to wltlelv the- money asked for Is to be |>»H. 6»»* Curt in, chairman of the committee oif foreign a flairs, favors openness wiier* ever secrecy is not absolute!)' neces­ sary, and ir.
