Philadelphia, Jan. 24, 187Ö.— Phila
delphia having laid aside her holiday at
tire, has once mon* donned the sober
brown clothing for which sh«; is so well
known. The name "Quaker City" given
at first b«*cause of the iiutnbers of Qua
kers who ma«le their homes here, is
an «'Xceedingly appropriât«)
another reason. The city has become
staid and dignified that it seems to par
take to a considerable «legre«; of the hab
its ami customs of Fri«;nds, who are re
markable among many other things for
their unostentatious habits. Walking
down Chestnut street this morning, we
found our boulevard full of people not
withstanding the slushy nature of the
pavements. Tire men walked straight
ab« a«l as though they meant business,
which by the way is giving i in mis tak ca
ble signs of improvement. People s«*em

is tllc * antl thesi8 of Grant in that he talks,

the silent sagacious man, then General
Sherman is the noisy loquacious man.—
Not that he does not talk well, and con
y| nc i n giy f |,ut he Is devoid of magnetism
and, wdti le his ability is conceded, he is
no t loved either in or out of the army.-—
The American world sees and hears too
much of him. He is too conspicuously

trick of myBte ry, he might go down to
posterity as a great man, an 1 have a
j, rolJZH equestriaif monument in which
he would be almost as heroic as the horse.
But General Sherman pr«*fers to enjoy

Perhaps the only way in which a real
reform can be effected, a reform that

way the M. C. strengthens his own politi

sures his re-election. It is expecting too
much of human nature to suppose that
| politicians will vote disinterestedly on a
subject that so clearly «-ffects their per
sonal fortunes. Ami the West Point
mill will continue to griml out high pay
officers, at tin* rate of «5 per year. There
are too many other abuses, looal and
national, crying for reform for the masses
to concentrate on this as an issue. And
ev«*n if it should be embodied in the
national platforms, Congress would flml
someway to «vade it.
History shows that all re-forms maybe
