rhe Original sherman Testimonial.
Al meeting of the Sherman Testi-
monial Committee, yesterday, the Hon.
Henry Stanbery recalled to mind the
circumstances Of the original Sherman
Testimonial, as one which gave to the
nation the services of the victorius Gen
eral TecumsCh Sherman. Supreme
Judge John Roger Sherman was at Leb.
anon, near this city, in his circuit in
1929, when he was suddenly attacked
with fatal illness, and died, leaving
unprovidod for, wife end eleven chill
drcn, at Lancaster, Ohio. A testimo-
NAL fund was Immediately raised, about

place the widow Sherman in comforta.
BILE circumstanced. But there were
eleven children to be provided for, in
mind and body, and it was agreed,
among the friends of the late Judre.
with the regretful concurrence of his
widow, that they should be separated
and cared for in various families OF
wealth and position. The Hon. Thorn
as Ewing, as his subscription to this
original Sherman Testimonial, assumed
the care Of VIM. Tecumseh Sherman
sent him to West Point and gave him tc
the nation [Ciu. Commercial.
And the most interesting fact con
ncctcd with tho above statement is tha
the care Of VIM. Tccumsoh Sherman
was assumed by Mr.. Ewing accidental
Iy. Mr.. Ewing, and the venerable
Henry Stoddard, of this city, cacl
agreed to assume the care ofa boy
Mr.. Ewing first chose Charles Sherman
and VIM. T. Sherman was selected 70

king them to their respective homes, al
exchange was agreed upon, and VIM

Ewing, and Charles Sherman became

Governor Pickens-he who once boasted
that he "was born inscsiblc to fear

the honor to preside as your Chief

quaintances from the dear homes We
have left behind. From these, letters
are always acceptable, are read with

deep feeling of respect for the writers,
and the dear old homes whence they

or vulgar. thought, or lewd illusions to
tho writers of them - holy home

we'll and ofton have I seen the bronzod
face Of the veteran, as we'll as the fair

tears that spoke louder than words of true
hearts and brave men. Not so when
your cold, insipid and stale letters arc

of derision from many voices as your

that this article may be of service to
you, inasmuch as it will urge you to

any soldier or officer advertising for

with contempt and drrision. Thus you
sec that your tender illusions, gushing

THE TRUE WIFE.

A Wife, domestic, good and pure,
Like snail should keep within her door,
But not like snail, in silvery track,
Place all her wealth upon her back.
A wife should he like EcHo, true,
And speak when she is spoken to,
But not like echo, still be heard
COntcudng for the final word.
Like q arowS-CLocK wife should bc'
Keep time with regularity;
But not like clock harangue so clear,
That all the town her voice may hear.
Young man, IL these illusions strike
She whom as bride you'd hail,
Must bcjust like and just unlike
An ECHo, CLOCK, and SNAIL.
