WANTS JEFF TO PAY HIM.

Yesterday, among the prisoners of war

basing lnstrumeutalities. In this connection,
contemporary recalls an incident of a similar ma
ture which occurred during the administration of
John Tyler. 1t seems that during the disgraceful
scramble for office on the accession of Mr.. Har-
rison TO the presidency, which resulted in his
death, one OF the lucky individuals, who obtained
lucrative office in Baltimore thought it prudent,
as he wished to retain his place, to grease the
palm" of the new dispenser of patronage. Ac-
cordingly, splendid piano was purchased, re-.
CARELESS of price, and for greater surprise, was
surrep,itiously conveyed into the executive mar
sion, while the president was sill in the arms of
Morpheus. The president, naturally enough, on
seeing the new ornament in his private parlor,
made inquiries as to how it came there. On
learning the fact, he ordered the piano to be re-
boxed and shipped to the donor, and the next mail
conveyed official document, couched in the tai
ismanic words: "Your services are no longer r.
quired."

Tom Ewing and Gen. sherman.

Several of our exchanges seem to be under the
impression that Gen. Sherman is soninlaw of
the Hon. Thomas Ewing. That Is a mistake
The relation between Ewing and Sherman is this:
Wnen Judge Sherman died, he left a wife and
eleven children without the means of support
The lawyers of the circuit over which the Judge
presided held a meeting and resolved 60 adopt
the children. Mr.. Ewing took William T., edu-
Gated him with his children, and while a
member of the United States senate had him adj.
mitted to the military academy at West Point
Sherman afterwards studied law Ewings Office
and ever since his entrance into the family he
cupled the position OF an adopted son. Hugh
b; Ewing, one OF Tom Ewing's sons, and Gen.
VIM L. Sherman married sisters, and, OF course,
are brothers-in-iaw, but we are not aware that
that fact makes either of them sOn-n law TO the
