An army correspondent gives this de-
scription of Gen. w. T. Sherman "He
is probably an inch less than six feet in
height and apparently forty years old.
His frame is of good size, but moderate
development of muscle gives him an ap-
pearsnce of being more slender than he re-
ally is. His hair and eyes are dark-his
forehead high, and so exceedingly fair that,
standing as it does in marked contrast with
his hair and eyes, it is his prominent fea-
turs. His cheeks are marked with deep
lines, while ages crow has made very
palpable track at the corner of either eye.
A benevolent eountenanee, together with q
kind, genial manner, makes him look more
like minister than the war-dog he Is"
