Just as the nation felicitated itself on the reoovery of General Sherman a dis-patch to The Times brings the melan-choly tiding that he is again on the brii k of eternity and the spark of life in liiiu Dickering its last, (ireat soldier who in the hour of need and peril drew his gallant sword in defence of the re-public and faced the thousand dangers of a four year war without flinching, how hard it is for him to surrender to the lust assailant, Death, and how hurd it is for us, his country men, to give him up. Fast they are going, the heros and leaders of the great struggle for the preservation of the union. One after another they answer to the tiual muster in the dim beyond. Only a few brief years ago we had wit h us (irant and McClelland, Logan, Hancock, Crook, Sheridan and Terry, all of them gone now to that mysterious country from whose bourne no traveler returns, lint they are gone accompanied by the sor-row and blessing of a grateful people that now surround the dying bed of one of the foremost of their comrades, the matchless William Tecumseh Sher-man.

A newspaper does not usually notico an anonymous communication which lacks on the face of it the virtue of good faith, but an exception is made for a purpose in the case cf the subjoined letter. Ennon Timks : You would confer a favor on several rea bv publishing the name of the alniiiel 1 twiioiliawson tils poverty-stricke- Imagination for thu Heard on 'he Side" c il-linium the Tribune. He Is no doubt human like the rest of us and It would lmttir mm to hti name in pr'nt; whii such gve' t rad li due him ceitanilv, alter the i hi a roua and mine erlort In Wednesday s l si.e. K. "Heard on the Side" is responsible to his paper, and the latter to the public, fur his effusions, and it is not the prov-ince of any journal to publish his name. That is his own and inviolate. The purpose for which the exception noted is mado is to say a word or two on the subject which aroused the con-troversy. A reporter detailed by the Tribune to write up the Assembly ball was informed ut the door that she might enter but must not dance. As her mission was one of business and not pleasure she probably cared not so much for the injunction as for the way it was imparted to hei through the doorkeeper. Still, being a woman, well bred, intelligent and estimable, and bent on a duty as much calculated to please the Assembly as to inform tho public, she deserved to be treated with courtesy and consideration. There is no excuse for any man, or committee, to hurt the feelings of a sensitive wo-man. Anvone guilty of that confesses? himself an intolerant boor who has no place in polite society. H-- ltuil the same thing happened to the reporter of Thk Timks, this paper would have refrained from wholesale and outrageous abuse of the Assembly, which is unpardonable, because not justified in fact, but it would have singled out the guilty parties and put them in the pillory, for it is impossible to believe that any meu capable of such an act of rudeness toward a lady can have a record that would bear public scrutiny. - --t-injustice to the excellent people composing the Assembly wo assume that they deplore tho occurrence as an uncalled for exhibition, on the part of one ortwo of its members, of those traits against which polite society ought to bo proof. SOCIETY MILDLY SURPRISED. Mr. Morton Davis Married to Mrs. EIU-h- e th 1'attenor I add. New Yohk. Feb. 14- .- Special to The 'Timks. Mr. and Mrs. Morton Davis sailed for Europe today. The marriage of Mr. and Mrs Mitchell, which took place in Washington, caused a mild sensation in society. The bride was Mrs Kli.nbeth Pattenor Lndd of San Francisco. There were only about half a dozen people present at the ceremony which was performed in St. John's church, Washington, by the pastor, the Hev. Dr. Douglas. The bride, who was given away by Claries Warren Stod-dard, was attended by Miss Vail of Huston. Mr. Mitchell's engagement to Miss Alger, daughter of Alger of Michigan, was formally an-nounced last spring. It was not gen-erally known that the engagement had been broken, and therefore his quiet wedding to Mrs. Ladd caused a gen-uine surprise. It is the intention of Mr. and Mrs. Ladd to reside abroad for a year. AERIVAI.S AND 0L0BE OF MAILS. Bcheduleof arrival and closing of malls at Bait Lake City Pi BNifflae, Nov. 17. IHt: MAILS. CLOSE.

A professional mercenary, bankrupt in all things save the gift of gab; an ir-responsible adventurer stranded in Michigan and picked up in Utah; a cheap prostitute of holy thius, made bold hy want; a contraband fellow known hereabouts as Charles F'.ll is, vents his views on The Times in a long screed in this morning's Herald. He is personal, this hirelin g is, in his o to the owners of Tim Timks, the majority of whom has lived hero when the dirty scribbler was still in tho toils of the laws back east, and each one of whom is a respocted ami hon-ored citi.en of this community, towards tho upliuilding of which no men have contributed more.. TiirTimhi has no need of defend-ing its policy. It speaks fur itself every day of the year, and it speaks for Salt Lake and Utah every hour of the day. To say that it is guided by other thau mo-tives of public interest and the common good; to insinuate that revenge or greed are its guiding principles, was reserved for the vilo Hessian who periodical-ly infests this city. It is enough to know that 'Thk Times, Liberal in homo politics, republican in national issues, but bigolted and in-tolerant in neither, is appreciated as no other journal inUtah ever was. Its strong fealty to party never warps its judg-ment In extraneous affairs and in pre-paring the way for prosperity it knows no division except that drawn by the minions of hate aud slander. All the world knows this; all the world includ-ing the vagabond who denies it. if tho men who hire Ellis know their business they will give him au iudetinite leave and a chance to work for an honest living or starve We are aware that tho mention of this human pest is nectar for his vanity and we shall not again assent to a condescension of this kind. He need not Hatter himself either that his em-ployers will think he is earning bis wages. It is because the Herald lends itself to the publication of his tirades, first directed against one and then an-other of the reputable men of this city, that we stoop to notice his mouthings. Otherwise nothing better than a con-temptuous kick, such as any tramp might get, would be his lot. JaT fint;i.i) is all right. It is the other fellows that are sick.

The famous "Jones county calf case" is still dragging along in the Iowa courts. These calves have been the subject of litigation for the past twenty-eigh- t years, anil they are almost as old as some of the vouuger calves in the modern ballet. Washington l'ost. Tho notable Jones county calf case has been linally settled by the Iowa supreme court after a twenty years' litigation, and has bankrupted all hands but the lawyers. The calves in dispute were worth about h $13. The other ones, who kept up the lawiug, have spent upward of $'.'0,(W0 ou them. Philadelphia Leader. Texas has a calf case even more seri-ous than that recently decided by tha Iowa supreme court after tiventv years' litigation. In settling the disputed the disputed ownership of a $3 calf in Texas two men aud two horses were killed and one man wounded. Texans don't take twenty years to settled dis-putes oves live stock. Kansas City Journal. The famous Jones county calf case re-cently wound up in tho Iowa supreme court extended over twenty years and cost ti4.(HH). "Tho calves were origin-ally valued at $4i," remarks a Chicago contemporary. And yei we think that Dickens' picture of Jarudyce versus Jarndyce is an overdrawn work of im-agination. Pittsburg Dispatch. The Jones county calf case in Iowa has linally been settled by the supreme court of that state, and the verdict of of the lower court has been affirmed. Just what that verdict was the public have forgottee. The case has been in the course twenty years and has cost as many thousand dollars, while the valtio of the over which the dispute started was only $15. Yet people some-times wondea how lawyers make a liv-ing. Kansas City Journal. It was recently stated that the mem-orable Jones county calf case had been terminated in the Iowa courts nfter twenty years of incessant litigation. According to western exchanges the report is not founded on fact. It is true that the enntestsng parties are poor, 'having spent more than $20,000 in a suit over animals worth perhaps $40, but they are still full of spunk and light, and the lawyers will not desert them whiln a dollar can be raised. New York Telegram. The folly of litigation is rarely so for-cibly seen rs in the famous "Jones county calf case" in Iowa. This has just been completed, though begun twenty years ago. The calves were originally worth 15, aue some $'.'0,(100 has heou spent on the case, besides the verdict of $1,000 for the plaintiff. The supreme covrt has just affirmed this veadict, and the case ic over. A signi-ficant but typical feature of the case is tho fact that it has bankrupted con-cerned except the lawyers.

Porter was born of a lighting slock, his father having served on board the Con-stellation in the light with the In surgenle in 17011, and commanded the Enterprise and afterwards the Essex in many a fierce engagement which lilled the country with glory and his body with lead. From his father also the sou inherited his fondness for literature, for both the commander aud tho admiral were authors of somo note. While Admiral Porter's services date back more than sixty years, it is iu connection with the civil war that his name and fame ate most iusolubly linked. New Orleans, Vick.sburg, tho James Kiver and Fort Fisher are the monuments of his valor and skill. He was not a Farragut, but then there was only one Farragut iu this country, just as there was only one Nelson in England. Jealous critics like lien (Sutler, with whom he carried on an angry discussion, resulting from the failure to capture Fort Fisher nt the time of tlie fifst attack, may even try to rob him of his well-earne- laur-els and fame, but history will assign him a place among the naval heroes of the world, second only to a few. Nor did his services to tho country end with the rebellion. Iu recent years Admiral Porter was one of tho most persistent advocates of our coast de-fenses, and it must have been a consola-tiont- o him iu his last days to sec tho government which he served so nobly adopt a policy iu consonance with his l urgent recommendations. Sknator Inoacls authorized the statement that the various specials re-garding his intentions for the future are fanciful conjectures, and wholly with-out foundation in fact. The statement that the attorneyship of a western rail-road has been otl'ered him, and that ho intends to continue in politics with the purpose, of being a candidate to the suc-cession of Senator Plumb, he says, are equally destitute of foundation. A Wash-ington corrrespoudetit says, while Seu-to- r Ingalls appreciates the kindness which dictates this solicitude for his future career, ho is embarrassed by tho unfounded rumors and gossip whose truth, if umlenied, might seem to be tacitly admitted. Tho senator ad-mitted that the editorship of news-papers in various cities, at large annual compensation, had been offered him, and that he had received proposals for the lecture platform.'all of which he had declined, his purpose being to act with deliberation and to make no decision until his term of service has closed. Editor Dana was assistant-secretar-of war under Stanton and his statement below is therefore authoritative. He says: "Somo remarks have recently passed between Mrs. Jefferson Davis and General Miles regarding (Ieneral Miles' treatment of the late Mr. Davis while the latter was imprisoned in For-tress Monroe. Mrs. Davis alleges that (Ieneral Miles, who was in command then and there, subjected her husband to various improper and unnecessary indignities, among them confinement in a "vermin-infected- cell. Mrs. Davis is certainly inaccurate so far as the cell is concerned. We had occasion to in-spect it a few moment before Mr. Davis was led into it, and it was as clean and lit to live in ns a room well could be. It was a case-mate-chamber in the fortress from w hich the gun had been removed, and as no other tenant had ever lived there, ' it was fresh and clean, like all quarters kept under high military discipline. It was well lighted through the broad em-brasure, and the only unwelcome re-minders of captivity were the iron bars run across the window and the two soldiers that stood agaiust the two doors leading from the back of the room to another room in the rear, where an officer and other soldiers were always to be found. We may presume that Mrs. I)avi3' other charges were equally as mistaken as the one in reference to the cell, the probability being that her belief has been imposed upon through the irresponsible im-agination of other persons." DESIRE TO HAVE A CHANCE. The Managers or Mia Columbian Fair Want C'olnnal Colburn to Stay In Clili sgo. Washington, Feb. 14. Special to Thk Twk.s. Strong influences are at work to bring about a change of the re-cent orders sending Colonel II. C. Cor-bi- n from Chicago to i.os Angeles nnd General McKeever from Washington to Chicago. Tho Columbian fair people want Colonel Corbin to remain in Chi-cago, and as (ieneral Miles does not want McKeever on his .staff' it is not im- - proliablo that the orders will be revoked before the 2Mth when they are supposed to take effect. It was (Ieneral Mc- - Keever's intention at tit't to ask to be retired in order to escape the unplcas- - ant assignment on the staff' of (ieneral Miles, but it is understood now that he has altered his purpose and will try to obey his orders. Thk associated press is discrimina-ting. When the gold advocates iu Hoston hired Faunueil hall the other day to air their peculiar views on finance a full account of their meeting was sent out to the country, while the meeting iu the same place yesterday called by Senator Stewart on the "other side" re-ceives but meager recognition. Gold is a seductive arti?lc. Called on tha ijnean. Bkki.in. Feb. 14 Special to Tiik Times.) The Kmpress Dowager Fred-erick aud the Princess Marguerita tie- - parted today for England to visit (Juecn Victoria. They will remain in Knglnnd until the queen ges to Italy when they will go to Hamburg. It has been ar-ranged that the emperor will also visit the queen during the summer. I r is to be deplored that any paper should seek to distress the family of (ieneral Sherman in the hour of dire atlliction by taking exception to a re-ligious rite in his sick chamber which, while not part of his own belief, he would readily have assented to for the consolation of those he loved. It is too delicate a subject for public property. Protesting Aaalniit tlia Poller. Paris. Feb. 14.
